The next morning I woke up in Cole's bed.
"Baby wake up, the ceremony is at noon." Cole said and I frowned before sleepily looking at him.
"How are you awake before me?" I whined and Cole chuckled.
"Liv, your mom was just in here yelling at us to wake up. It's late." He said before pulling me into his arms. "Get up." He said and I almost yelled at him.
"Five more minutes." I begged but Cole wasn't having any of it. He pulled me out of bed and I pretended to still be asleep. Cole tickled me as he walked us down the hallway before placing me inside the shower and I laughed uncontrollably.
I turned the hot water on before taking a nice and warm shower. Once I was done I went back into my room and pulled on a light blue sundress and paired it with my white sneakers.
I blow dried my hair before pulling it into a neat bun on top of my head. I went downs
"Mom, why did you invite Jade on the trip?" I asked my mom and she shrugged at me. "Back then I thought you guys were still friends, Liv. The rooms are already booked and everything has already been prepared, you're not gonna waste our money by telling her that she can't come on the trip with you guys." My mom told me. "No it's fine. I told her it's fine if she came on the trip. I didn't want to be rude but I just don't trust her and she doesn't get along with anyone else that's going," I told my mom. "But her boyfriend will be there." My mom told me and I just rolled my eyes at her. "I can't believe I'm in a hospital at six am. And I haven't eaten anything." I told my mom in annoyance and she clicked her tongue. "Liv, stop complaining. This is the only open slot that doctor P had." She told me and I boredly looked at her. "Cyprus family. How are we feeling today?" Doctor P asked as he came walking up to us in the hallway of the hospital. "Christopher." Uncle Ian said before sh
My mom and uncle Ian rented two private jets to fly us out to the Maldives. When we got to the airport Cole and I said goodbye to my mom and his dad before we started walking to our terminal. I jumped on Paige once I saw her and she hugged me tightly while spinning me around. "You look pretty." I told her and she smiled at me. "Thanks, you too." She said and I thanked her. We left Cole and Griff outside because they were still talking.Paige and I went into the jet and yelled excitedly when we saw Austin, Nina, Natasha, Natalie, and Brianna already sitting inside and they yelled back at us. We went over to hug them before taking our seats. Paige hugged me while she sat on my lap. "Hey Lamar!" We said as Lamar came walking into the jet, he was wearing a hoodie and it looked like he was sleep walking. He waved at us before sitting down next to Nina and she gave him a comforting hug. Shane and Jade entered the jet and we all greeted them as they sat down at the far end of the jet.
I sat next to Cole at the restaurant table. Everyone looked at Paige and I in confusion and I bit into my bottom lip. "We lost track of time." I said blankly and I saw Jade scoffing at my words. "Do you have something to say, Jade?" I asked her and she smiled at me. "I'd rather not." She said blankly and Shane frowned at her. "Liv, don't." Cole told me and I nodded at him."I wasn't gonna say anything." I told him while glaring at Jade. Ugh she makes me so mad!"Liv?" Storm called me from across the table and I frowned at him. "My phone." He said softly and my eyes widened. Oh shit. "It's at our villa." I told him and he nodded at me. "That's fine, I'll come by later." He said and Cole looked at me with a single eyebrow raised. "It's nothing." I told him and he scoffed before sitting back in his seat. "So did you meet any new people?" I asked Cole and he frowned at me. "No." He said blankly and I nodded slowly. "Yeah me neither." I said and Paige and Griff awkwardly looked at
"Cole, let's go." I told Cole as he was busy staring down at Marcus with pure hatred in his eyes. "If I so much as see you looking at my girlfriend again--" Cole started but I cut him off."Cole, enough. He didn't know." I said and Cole just glared at me before he walked away from Marcus and I. "Who told you that Cole is my brother?" I asked Marcus who was still watching Cole walking away from us. "Uh some girl. She's pretty, seems rich. I don't know, she mentioned something about you guys being best friends since kindergarten." Marcus said before looking at me. Fucking Jade. I should've known. "I'll see you around, Liv." Marcus said and I just nodded at him. He walked away from me and I sighed before going after Cole. I followed Cole to the club that we were invited to. I can't believe he's walking ahead of me, that's so rude. Once I got inside the club I immediately spotted Nina and Natalie who were waving me over to them. I put a smile on my face before going over to them.
"Liv?" I heard someone calling me so I sleepily opened my eyes. "Can I come in?" I heard the voice clearer then I realised that it was Jade. I sat upright in Austin's bed before looking at Jade. "You spent the night?" She asked me. "He's gay, Jade." I told her and she smiled at me. "I know. I'm sorry if I ruined your night." She said softly before she sat down at the edge of the bed. "Yeah me too. I'm sorry if I ruined your night." I told her and she nodded at me. "And I didn't mean what I said." She said softly. "I didn't either. I was just trying to be hurtful. You didn't deserve to lose your baby." I told her and a tear rolled down her cheek. "And you didn't deserve to lose your boyfriend. I'm sorry for saying that." She said before hugging me. And I sighed in relief while I held onto her. "And I'm sorry for reading your journal and threatening you with it." She said apologetically. "Sorry for sending you to jail." I said and we both laughed lightly. "Wow, I never though
Today is the last day of our trip which is something I've been looking forward to but dreading at the same time. Because this has been one of the best weeks of my year. Tomorrow we're heading home, I guess when we get back home that's when our actual summer begins. And this will probably be the worst summer of my life because at the end of it I'll be seeing my boyfriend and most of my friends off to college. "So, I've decided to come out to everyone tonight." Rook said before pulling me into a side hug. "You did?" I asked before sitting across from him on a barstool in the kitchen of my villa. "Yeah. I'm bisexual and quite frankly I don't give a fuck about what anyone has to say about that." Rook said and I smiled at him. "Exactly. And it's not even about them or what they think. You're simply informing them." I told him and he nodded at me. "Exactly. See you get me, Liv." He said and I smiled at him. "I'm not looking for validation from anyone. This is my life and I'll love an
I was sitting on the comfy couch next to Coles hospital bed with a book in my hand. A week has gone by and I feel a little better now but I still feel a lot of pain when my medication wears off. Cole still hasn't woken up but at least the doctor's sounds hopeful now. "Any day now." Is what they would tell me when they pass me and nurse Lucy in the hallway. I like the nurse that takes care of me, she's kind, gentle and understanding. Apparently I can go home tomorrow. Which in other words means that I won't be able to see Cole everyday. Because I'd have to be on bed rest. And if that's the case I'd much rather just stay here with Cole until he wakes up. "Hey, babygirl." Nurse Lucy said from behind me so I looked up at her from my book. "Hi." I said softly. "You have a visitor. Griff." She said and I nodded at her. She helped me get into my wheelchair which is the worst part about this because it hurts me to get up or sit down and it hurts me to breathe sometimes.I finally sat do
Cole's POV"Cole, this is my wife, Kate and her daughter Liv. Kate and I have been married for two years now." My dad explained to me. I looked over at the woman and her daughter before frowning lightly. "You got married?" I asked my dad and he nodded at me. "Cole, do you remember Liv?" He asked me and I looked over at the girl named Liv. She was crying. Am I supposed to remember her? "No." I blankly told my dad and she left the room. "That's okay, son. Do you remember Griff?" My dad asked me and I frowned at him. "Who's Griff?" I asked him and he looked over at his wife. "Do you remember Storm?" My dad asked me and I clenched my jaw in anger. "Yes." I said angrily. "Did he do this?" I asked my dad. "No, son he didn't." My dad said in a calm voice. "Doctor it seems as though Cole doesn't remember anything from the past two years." My dad told the doctor. Two years? That means I'm eighteen years old, probably graduated. And I don't remember any of it. Fuck."He can go home tom
I saw Cole talking to Griff who looked at him in shock. I couldn't make out what they were saying but I'm sure Cole was telling him about the DNA results. Griff dabbed Cole up before he pulled him into a tight hug and I smiled at them from across the room. "Cole?" I called him and they both looked over at me. "Can we talk?" I asked him and he quietly looked at me before he told Griff to excuse us. Griff hugged me before he left the room so, I walked over to Cole. We sat down by the firepit before we looked up at each other. "Please help me understand." I softly told him and he tightly clenched his jaw at my request. "Please, Cole." I uttered before taking his hands in mine. "Ian is not my dad, Liv. You're his daughter. But you're not my sister because Ian and I are not related- at all. I think my mom might have had an affair and lied to my dad- to Ian that I was his. Maybe he knows something. My mom is dead so, I can't exactly ask her about it." He told me so, I shook my head
I sat down next to Storm and he smiled over at me. There's just something about Storm.I want to be with him but I just can't get Cole out of my mind and that makes me feel horrible. "Guys, check the group chat." Austin told us with wide eyes and everyone around the firepit took their phones out. I checked my texts and found that it was principal Clark who sent it. I clicked on the text and my eyes widened in shock. "Oh my god the trip has been extended to a week!" Jade excitedly yelled out. This is great news, this way I'll get more time to clear my head."Ugh, I wish we weren't in Aspen though. This cold ass weather is just not for me." Austin told us and we all nodded in agreement. "I mean I don't even have a man to keep me warm." He whined out before glaring over at everyone in the room and we collectively laughed at his words."What about me?" We heard a familiar voice and everyone turned around in shock. My eyes widened when I saw Rook standing in the doorway. Austin excitedly
Storm unclasped my bra before he tossed it aside and I watched him with lust filled eyes as he pulled his shirt over his head. I slowly ran my hands over his abs and he sat back in his chair while his eyes slowly ran over my body. He suddenly picked me up and my legs circled his torso as he carried me upstairs to a dimly lit bedroom. He shut the door behind us before he placed me on his bed and I seductively started to unbuckle his belt. I took his large erection into my hands before I slowly took him into my mouth. I looked up at him while I slowly started to suck his dick and he gripped my hair into his hand before he started moving my head faster against his length. My eyes started tearing up as he pushed his entire length into my mouth and I coughed when he pulled out of my mouth. He pushed me down on his bed before he widely spread my legs and my pussy throbbed with need.He slowly started to rub my pussy, his fingers sliding between my folds and I moaned out in pleasure. He s
Jade, Austin, Bri, and I sat at a small bonfire outside our villa. It was snowing outside, and we were dressed in thick ski jackets and matching gloves. Principal Clark surprisingly brought us to a ski resort in Aspen. The snow is beautiful but it is also extremely cold and restricting. I mean there hasn't been much going out for us except for the occasional ski activities we've been on today. I suddenly started feeling hungry so, I excused myself from the group and Austin decided to walk with me. We went downstairs in search of a vending machine since all the restaurants were already closed. Austin's phone started ringing and he smiled when he saw who was calling him. "It's Rook." He uttered before he turned his back to me. As Austin started speaking into the phone I laid my eyes on a vending machine. I smiled in relief before I grabbed my wallet from inside my jacket pocket. I felt someone standing in line behind me and I frowned lightly. I guess I'm not the only hungry per
Ryan and I walked into McClaren's together, while catching up with each other. I laughed at something he said as we made our way to the back of the restaurant. Once we got to the final booth I saw Storm sitting there. I frowned over at Ryan and he smiled before taking a step back from me. "You planned this?" I asked Ryan and he nodded at me. "Just talk to him, okay. And if you don't want to talk, just hear him out." Ryan told me so I nodded at him before I sat down across from Storm. "I'm sorry it had to come to this but you weren't answering any of my calls." He told me in an apologetic tone. "Sorry about that." I softly told him. "Don't apologize." He pointedly told me. "I just thought you wanted nothing to do with me. You broke up with me, remember?" I asked him and he nodded at me. "And yet you moved on first." He said and a feeling of guilt washed over me."What did you expect, Storm. At least he was willing to fight for me." I said and he clenched his jaw. "Like you fou
I gave one last glance at Ajay's grave before I left the cemetery. I haven't visited him in a while, I miss visiting him often. I miss the times when Ajay's death was the only source of my pain, when all I wished for was to see him again. But lately I just keep wanting and wishing for more. I walked back to school and got there just in time for the first period. I grabbed my books from my locker and started walking to my class, I felt someone placing their arm around my shoulder and when I looked up I found Ryan smiling down on me. "Hey, stranger." I wrapped my arms around his waist."Stranger?" He questioned with a deep frown settled on his forehead. "Yeah, now that you're on the football team you're too cool to hang out with me." I told him and he laughed lightly. "Liv, you're the one who's been ignoring my calls. I've been looking for you." He told me and I sighed lightly. "That's not true." I told him in disbelief and he raised a single eyebrow at me. "It's not, I would neve
After we were done in the kitchen, Cole and I ate the pasta that we made and decided to sit in the living room. We sat cuddled up on a couch while watching tv. We suddenly heard the microwave beeping, alarming us that our popcorn was done and Cole got up from his seat beside me before going into the kitchen. His phone suddenly started ringing so I frowned lightly before going back to watching tv. His message alert went off and the screen lit up again. I bet it's that Gemma girl. I always knew she had a crush on Cole, she can't leave him alone that's why she's always texting and calling him. Even her dad has his number, I mean what's up with that? I carefully leaned forward and read the text on Cole's phone."Your DNA test results will be available to collect on October 15th 2024."Cole did a DNA test? Is that what he was doing yesterday? I expanded the message but was careful not to open it and the hospital address caught my attention. I heard Cole entering the living room again so I
"And some food." Liv demanded so I immediately nodded in agreement. I'm going to spoil her rotten."Okay, let's go." I softly told her before I placed my arm around her shoulders then we walked over to my car. I opened her door and she thanked me before she climbed into the car.I got in on my side of the car before I started driving and we just started talking about anything and everything. We haven't been this comfortable around each other in a long time. I missed her. Once we were done buying the food and ice cream that I promised her we drove home. After ten more minutes of driving we finally arrived at home so I parked my car in the garage. And just as we got out of the car it started raining outside. We made our way into the house and headed straight upstairs to my room. Liv switched my tv on before she grabbed a shirt from my closet. I got our food ready while Liv climbed under the blankets on my bed. I pulled the hoodie I was wearing over my head before throwing it aside. I
Cole's POVI sat in my car as I've been stuck in traffic for the past hour. If I'm lucky I might make it back in time to go support Liv. I know I'm letting her down but what I'm about to do is for the both of us. The cars in front of me slowly started to move again so I sat upright before driving out of town and in the direction of the city. After a lengthy drive I finally parked my car in the hopital parking lot. Before I climbed out of the car I grabbed my backpack from the backseat and locked the door behind me. I looked down at my watch before walking to the frontdoor of the hopsital. I have about two hours left to run my errands, then I have to head back if I want to be in time to see Liv compete. I entered the crowded hospital building before entering the elevator. One of my friends back in Boston's dad is a doctor at this hospital, and knowing that I'd come home this weekend I made an appointment with him. I stepped out of the elevator as soon as it stopped on the fifth fl
