He didn't say it was that bad. Sure he said people got hurt, but he never mentioned that people actually died! He killed people and he got away with it completely. And then he hid it from me and lied about it.
Okay I guess Tristian didn't lie about killing anyone since I hadn't actually asked if he did. But he had to know this was something I wanted to know. I said I wanted to know everything and that most definitely falls under that umbrella.
And now here I am trying to justify what he did. This wasn't who I am. Making excuses for manslaughter. It was breaking my heart, but I knew what I had to do. I was about to ruin my favorite holiday.
I returned with the potatoes, but didn't sit down. "Can we talk Tristian?"

~Haven's POV~"What is all this?" I asked."It was your Christmas present. I know you said you didn't want it, but I couldn't exactly give this back. I um submitted your work to be put in a gallery and well...it came through."That had always been my dream. To have my work displayed and see how people reacted to them.Tristian made my dream come true. Even though I broke up with him and said he wasn't mine."Tristian, this is...no one has ever done something like this for me.""I know. Um, people already want to buy your stuff. And some of our stuff we did together too. I told them I wasn't sure if you were interested in selling. What should I tell them?" He asked.

*Tristian's POV*Being back with Haven was amazing. I was actually glad she knew about everything. There was no weight on my shoulders anymore. I wasn't freaking out about whether I would lose her anymore.I now knew what losing her was like and I couldn't go through it again. Honestly I didn't remember much about our week long break up. I was drunk all the time, trying to drive out thoughts of Haven. I was absolutely pathetic.I had never cried so much in my entire life. I just wanted her back again so my life could make sense.I was determined not to feel like that again.I planned on having Haven forever.+++As much as I really missed all

This is my fault. My sins are what led to this. I had made so many mistakes and veered off the path of righteousness.I was not treating my body like a temple. I was treating it like a place of sin! Sex, drugs, piercings. I had defiled my temple in most ways. Is that why this happened?Is that why I'm in the waiting room of the hospital praying someone I love will be okay?Did my sins get us here?48 Hours Earlier"Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Aleecia asked. "I mean your mother may die.""She'll be fine! It's a tiny stud in my nose, I'm not getting a face tattoo.""She's gonna flip."I s

"What does that mean?" Dad asked."Along with the video, Gabe also mentioned that Tristian blew up a building and killed two people.""Oh my goodness." Mom breathed, still rubbing her head."It wasn't like that, man." Tristian said. "It was an accident.""He feels awful about it." I added in."What, you knew?" Grace asked. "All this time I was telling you he was bad news, and you knew it and acted like I was crazy!""He's not bad news! He's a good person! Tristian has changed. He-he's not like that anymore and he's not this demon you are all making him out to be!""Haven, you are not going anywhere with this boy." Dad said firmly

*Tristian's POV*It had been almost a month since I had kissed her.I barely even saw her. She had decided to take a semester off to take care of her mom, so I couldn't have hidden moments with her at school.At church she was always strictly with her family. Sometimes her eyes would wander over to me during service and then when our eyes locked she'd get this look of immense happiness that quickly turned into sadness.It was like she was remembering how much she loved me, but then also remembered that things were incredibly complicated between us right now.We text a lot. Let me rephrase that; I text her a lot. Sometimes she answers, most times she doesn't. I tried not to take it personally. She was going through so much shit

*Tristan's POV*I was laying on my bed summoning the courage to call Haven and tell her what happened with Viola when my phone started ringing. My heart soared. It was her! She was actually calling me!"Hey baby." I answered. "How are you?""Not great." She said. "It's a shitty day.""I'm sorry to hear that. I um...I miss you so much.""That shocks me.""Why is that?" I questioned."Well it seems you have Viola to keep you occupied." Haven said."What do you me-""Trevor sent me a picture of you two kissing.

~Haven's POV~ Getting to the hospital all felt like it was in slow motion. We couldn't drive fast enough and I couldn't run fast enough to get to the right floor and the right room. Heath was waiting in the hall when I arrived. I ran into his arms. "What happened?" I asked. "Dad went out late last night to get something for mom. A car hit his on the way back home. The car...it flipped over Haven. They said the car was completely totaled. The other person drove off. They don't know who did it." "What about Daddy?" "They're in there with him right now. But they said his injuries were severe." Heath sobbed. "It's all my fault. I should have been the one to go out for her."

~Haven's POV~I gaped at Grace."What?! You-you lost your virginity the night my father died?"She cried harder and shook her head. "We've been having sex since New Year's.""You're kidding me! So you two yelled at and judged me for having sex with Tristian but you've been doing it too?!" I yelled."I'm sorry Haven! But he's not good for you. It's different with me and Heath! We're gonna get married." Grace said."You don't know that! You two are hypocrites! You made me feel like I was the lowest person on earth. You kept me from Tristian for a month!""Please forgive me!""Ask God for forgiveness

~Haven’s POV~ “So you chose Tristian?” Aleecia asked as we got ready for the wedding. “Are you surprised?” Grace snorted. “I mean it was always going to be him.” “Yeah, I suppose. But what are you two going to do in different states?” Aleecia questioned. “We’ll figure it out.” I answered. I didn’t want to take the attention off of Grace by telling them that I was moving to New York. Tristian talked to Avery this morning, who was thrilled to hear that I would be coming there too. I think it was all going to work out perfectly. This was what was meant to happen. “I’m gonna go check on Heath.” I stated. As I reached the door to the boy’s room, Logan stepped out of it. We stared at each other for a moment. “You look beautiful.” Logan whispered. “You look really handsome.” I offered. “I’m sorry for how I left things last night. I just...I’m tired Haven.

Repent Chapter Fifty-Eight
~Haven’s POV~Tristian was right.I wasn’t as happy as everyone thought I was.Up until now I couldn't figure out why. I knew something was missing, but didn’t know what it was.I now knew it was Tristian.It was strange because there was nothing wrong with Logan. He was perfect. But maybe too perfect. Sure that sounds dumb, but it was true.When we had gotten together he was exactly what I needed. Sweet, funny, loyal. During that time in my life, I required that kind of man.But three years later, things are different. I’ve grown as a person and while Logan has grown with me, I wasn’t sure he grew into someone that complimented the person I had grown into.Tristian had.Or had he? Was this me trying to relive a time in my life that was long gone? Did I still have that bad boy fantasy or something?I wasn’t sure. What I did know was I almost h

Three Years Later~Haven’s POV~Planning a wedding was not easy.It’s even harder when it’s not your wedding that you're planning.I was the Maid of Honor for Grace and Heath’s wedding that was in a mere five days!I was relieved that it would be over soon. I was ready to fully get back to life without thoughts of flowers and table cloths coming up.I sighed and sat back in my seat. Finally the work day was done. I looked next to my computer at the framed photo of me, Mom, Heath, Grace and Logan at mine and Tristian’s first and last gallery exhibit together.Mom passed away nine months after that. It was easier than Dad’s death. We knew it would happen. We were prepared. It was still painful.I felt guilty about the sense of relief I felt. I didn’t have to take care of her anymore. I could fully pursue my career after that and I did.I was now the cu

~Haven’s POV~Logan had been kind of distant with me since the trial. It had been a week of tiptoeing around the issue, but I just couldn’t take it anymore.“Logan, baby, is something wrong?” I asked.I knew we had to talk about what I had said at the trial. I hoped he wasn’t too upset with me.“Did you mean all that?” Logan whispered. “That he was your best relationship? He’s the love of your life...are you not happy with me Haven?”“Of course I am. Logan I love you. I meant that! At the time yes it was everything to me and I felt like my life had crumbled. But you’ve made it better. I’m happy with you. That’s why you’ve been the one by my side through this whole ordeal. I couldn’t have gotten through without you.”Logan studied me before smiling. “Alright. Good. Because I love you too and you being happy is the most impor
Repent Chapter Fifty-Five
~Haven’s POV~I couldn’t believe what Mr. Vera was suggesting.That Tristian could have something to do with my father’s death. He would never.Tristian was a lot of things. A liar, a manipulator, a bad boyfriend. But he was not a murderer. He wouldn’t hurt me just so I would get closer to him.The defense lawyer was really going out of his way to try to prove Trevor’s innocence. The crazy thing was that Trevor himself didn’t seem like he wanted this. I think he actually wanted to take responsibility for what had happened.“Haven Campbell, please come to the stand.”I was shaky as I was sworn in. My eyes found Logan and then I felt safe again. He was like my anchor.“So, Ms. Campbell, you were with Mr. Fletcher the night of the accident, correct?” Mr. Rush questioned.“Yes, I was.”“And was there a moment where Mr. Fletcher could ha
Repent Chapter Fifty-Four
~Haven’s POV~ I wish I could have nothing to do with the trial. I just wanted Trevor to be punished for what he had done and leave it at that. I wanted this painful time in my life to be over so I could move on for real. I hadn’t spoken to Tristian since Kent’s party. I was disappointed by his behavior towards Logan. He made him out to be some devious guy that wormed his way into my bed. But Logan wasn’t like that. He was sweet and sensitive and absolutely perfect. I was glad I was with him. +++ Before our day in court I had to find a way to calm myself down. So of course Logan and I had sex. I loved the way Logan looked at me when I was on top of him. How he bit his lip as he watched me and would close his eyes when it felt extra good. He would grip my hips and make me go faster, the sound of his moans increasing. “Fuck Haven,” He gasped. Logan pulled me down to him and kissed me before rolling on top of me and thrusting into me quickly. “Right there baby.” I murmured.
Repent Chapter Fifty-Three
*Tristian’s POV* I was going to get Haven back. I had to. I couldn’t let Logan win. Haven was my girlfriend and I needed her. I just had to remind her that she missed me. That I was the hot bad boy that had made her want to change her life. She couldn’t resist me when we first met, so she shouldn’t be able to resist me now, right? The only problem about that was I needed to enlist Viola's help. I needed Haven to think that she and I were back together to make her jealous and realize how much she truly missed me. Easy enough right? “No.” “What do you mean no?” I demanded. “I am not going to help you trick a girl with a dead father and a dying mother!” Viola exclaimed. “Okay, but why not? You’ve never had morals Vi, what’s changed?” “All that I’ve done is fucking up my karma! This is gonna make it worse. Find another girl, Trissy.” “Another girl won’t bother her,” I groaned. “You will though. She’ll be foaming at the mouth.” “I’m not doing it.” She crossed her arms. “You

~Haven's POV~“Shit. Fuck. Haven, I'm so sorry.” He rolled off of me pulling the covers up.“Why?” I asked.“I feel like I just completely took advantage of you just so I could finally fuck you. I was thinking with the wrong head.”“Well I wasn’t exactly protesting. You did nothing wrong.”“Yeah?” Logan whispered. “I’ve been trying to control myself with you and I just lost control.”“I’m glad you did. I was tired of waiting.” I smiled.“Was it good for you?” I nodded. “Good. It was amazing for me.”I pulled him to me. “Then we should keep doing it.”Logan smiled back and kissed me. “It doesn’t have to mean what I want it to mean.”“What do you want it to mean?”“That I’m your boyfriend.”“It could m
Repent Chapter Fifty-One
*Tristian’s POV*This was worse than when I blew up the building.I thought people hated me then, but that was nothing compared to how much everyone hated Trevor after finding out what he did. And they hated me by association.Grandma didn’t even go to church that Sunday. She said the whispers were loud enough at the grocery store and she couldn’t take it.Everyone whispered about me at school and gave me dirty looks. No one talked to me in class at all.Even my friends were avoiding me. But I think that had more to do with them being pissed that I’d lied to Haven again. Aleecia and Logan didn’t speak to me at all. I could tell Cam wanted to, but never did if Logan was in the vicinity. Kent was the only one who openly and actively talked to me anymore.“So how’s Haven?” I asked.“Dude, you know she’s bad. Her dad is dead and her mom has cancer.” Kent s
