I ended up convincing Storm to get stitches at the hospital and he offered me a ride home when he was done. If it weren't for Jade, none of that would've been necessary. And the worst part is that she did it on purpose. She wanted to hit me. Probably because I kissed Cole in front of her. But one thing is for sure, she doesn't scare me. I was lying on the carpet in the living room I was still wearing my swimsuit I just pulled a hoodie on earlier. I heard the front door to our house open so I frowned lightly. "Kids! We're home!" I heard my mom yelling from the kitchen so I jumped up from the floor before running into the kitchen. I jumped on my mom before circling my legs around her waist and she laughed before wrapping her arms around me. "I take it that you missed us." Uncle Ian said from behind my mom and I pulled back from my mom before giving Uncle Ian a tight hug. "Where's Cole, honey?" Uncle Ian asked and I shrugged. "He's still at Griff's. We went swimming earlier." I to
"Rook, what's wrong?" I asked in concern. "Nothing." He said softly."What do you mean it's nothing? So you drove all the way here and climbed through my window for nothing?" I asked him and he silently looked at me before nodding. "Can we just pretend that it's nothing? You've got a way of making me feel better when I'm down." He said and I nodded before hugging him. I sat down on my bed and I watched him sitting down on the floor. He rested his back against the side of my bed and I frowned lightly. "Where were you today? You weren't at school." I said in realization and he looked up at the ceiling. "My mom, we found out that she-- uh-- has cancer." He said and my heart skipped a beat. "She doesn't have long, Liv." He said and my eyes welled up with tears. "I'm so sorry, Rook," I said before sitting down next to him and hugging him tightly. "She was devastated when she found out." He said before he wrapped his arms around me. His soft sobs filled my room and I started crying wi
I jumped onto Storm's back, he grabbed a drink from our refrigerator before walking us over to the kitchen island."We need to get started on this project," I said pointedly before getting off his back. "I agree." He said while looking into my eyes. "Let me guess, you're just as lazy as I am," I said and he nodded. "That I am." He said with a wink at the end and I just smiled at him. "-Yeah, he said something about McLaren's," Cole said before entering the kitchen, and Storm and I looked at him in silence. He was on the phone but as soon as he saw us he ended the call."Didn't you say you were going to Rook's?" Cole asked me before briefly glaring at Storm."I did but that was before Storm asked to come over," I explained."And why exactly did he come over?" Cole asked while looking into my eyes. "That's none of your business. Why are you questioning her, she can do whatever she wants." Storm told Cole who clenched his jaw. "I was talking to Liv." Cole coldly told Storm."The pro
I unzipped my dress before letting it fall to the ground. I stepped into the shower and steamy drops of water made contact with my skin. I closed my eyes before thinking about Cole. I bit into my bottom lip as I felt myself throbbing for him. I heard the door to the bathroom open so I frowned lightly before stepping behind the shower curtain. "Via." Cole's voice sounded and I breathed out in relief. I bit into my bottom lip before opening the shower door. Cole clenched his jaw as he was looking at my naked form in front of him. He was wearing some black Calvin Klein boxer briefs. "What?" I asked innocently and Cole smirked at me. "Wouldn't you love it if we finished what we started?" He asked before taking a step towards me and I felt butterflies in my stomach. "Come on admit it, you want me to bend you over and fuck you until you scream." He said as our faces were mere inches from each other. "Say I were to feel this way. What would you do about it?" I asked and Cole smirked at
Cole pulled up behind Rook's car. I jumped out of the car before running towards the tall dark figure in the distance. "Rook?" I asked carefully and he slowly turned around to face me. "Liv." He said before stumbling towards me. "Rook, you're drunk," I said before grabbing the bottle of bourbon in his hand. "Give that back." He demanded lazily. "Rook you're hammered I refuse to let you drink any more of this stuff, what if you get alcohol poisoning?" I asked him and he frowned at me. "You could get that?" He asked and I nodded. "Yes, now can we please go? I'll take you home myself. Or you could stay the night at our place, my mom and Cole's dad wouldn't mind." I assured him and he shook his head at me. "No, I'm jumping off this bridge tonight." He said pointedly. "If you jump-- then I jump," I said pointedly. "No, you're not. I'm sorry to spoil the party, Rook. But we're leaving." Cole said before grabbing ahold of Rook's arm."Cole, be gentle," I said and he frowned at me.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm. Last night Cole locked himself in his room, so I figured he needed space. I rolled out of bed before grabbing a towel. I took a quick shower and when I was done I went back to my room. I got dressed in my cheer outfit and some white Nike shoes. I tied my hair into a ponytail before applying some cream to my face. I grabbed my backpack before leaving my room and going downstairs. "Good morning Uncle Ian," I said before sitting down by the kitchen island. "Good morning, Liv." He greeted me while his focus remained on the scrambled eggs he was making. "Have you spoken to Cole, yet?" I asked carefully and he looked up at me. "No, why?" He asked blankly. "Because you're his dad and he was clearly feeling bad last night," I said and Uncle Ian sighed. "What gives you that idea?" Uncle Ian asked in confusion. "This is going to sound rude, but it's not. Have you ever talked to Cole about his mom?" I asked and Uncle Ian frowned at me. "Yes and no." H
Cole's POV"Yes," I said while looking at my dad. "Sit down." He said and I sighed in frustration before sitting down. "What is it?" I asked and his fist clenched. "I wanna talk about your mom." My dad said and I froze up for a second before frowning. "Well, I don't want to," I said blankly. "Cole--""Did Liv ask you to do this? What you couldn't decide to talk to your son on your own without someone else asking you to?" I asked and he shook his head. "Just listen to what I have to say." My dad said calmly and I nodded before sitting back in my chair and glaring at him. "I loved your mum, I did. And I miss her." He said before shifting in his seat. "I thought that if I ignored it I wouldn't have to feel the hurt that comes with losing your wife." He said with furrowed eyebrows. "I'm sorry for what that did to you. All I can do now is apologize and try to be better for you." My dad said and I blankly looked at him. "Good for you," I said shortly before getting up from my seat.
"I'll get out first. Please don't get out at the same time as me because we can't show up together at places anymore." I told Cole and he frowned at me. "Why not?" He asked in confusion before running his fingers through the curls on his head. "Because we're not together anymore," I said and he frowned. "And what does that matter? Can we just go?" He asked and I sighed before climbing out of the car. I remember what those girls were saying about me the other day in the bathroom. Now they'll just start another rumor about me. Cole walked next to me and I briefly looked up at him. The bonfire came into view and we walked towards it. Griff dabbed Cole up as soon as we reached him. The music suddenly sounded much louder and everyone was dancing wildly along with the music. I'm not drinking tonight."Hey, Liv!" Nina called me so I placed my hands into the pockets of Cole's cardigan before walking over to Nina and the cheer squad. "Liv!" Pai*e yelled before hugging me and taking a self
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
