~Haven's POV~
I stayed up all night looking at Aleecia's ceiling. Sleep completely evaded me. All I could hear was Tristian's words ringing in my ear.
"God is this how Gabe felt?"
Did he really think it was my fault that Gabe cheated? That I was stringing along other guys or something?
I had to remind myself that he was very drunk and his jealousy was very much out of control. I'm sure he didn't mean it.
But that didn't take away the pain I felt. Or the uncertainty that now plagued our relationship. I wasn't sure if I could be with Tristian if this was how he would be acting. I couldn't take this.
He acted like he owned me or something. Like he was the only guy
~Haven's POV~ "What?!" Heath exploded. "He cheated on you Haven? He had premarital sex and not even with you?" "Yep, can we move on now?" I waved Alex over. "No we cannot. Gabe is...well he's-" "An asshole," Tristian offered. "But man do I understand his turmoil." "Are you cheating on my sister too?" Heath demanded. "I don't like violence at all but, I'll um hit you if you are." "No, I'm not cheating on her. I actually only have eyes for her. Even if she can't reciprocate." "You know what-" "You needed something Haven?" Alex asked. "A bottle of that
*Tristian's POV*For the second morning in a row I woke up with a hangover. I didn't even know where I was."Finally," Kent's voice startled me. "Been waiting for you to finally wake up.""What happened?" I asked."Our girlfriends dumped us last night."I shot up, even though my hand was pounded. "What? No! Haven can't break up with me!""Well she did. You were an asshole last night dude. I wasn't any better either." Kent admitted."I drank way too much." I groaned. "I-I have to get her back. Kent I cannot live without her.""You think I don't understand? I love Aleecia more than anyth
*Tristian's POV*Kent was the first to react. He threw Aleecia over his shoulder and ran out. I quickly did the same with Haven."What are you doing?" She asked."You're my most important thing to save in a fire." I responded."Aw,"I set her down in the front yard and then ran back in to see if I could help with anything. I was surprised to see the fire was already put out."What happened?" I asked."I may have over exaggerated how severe the fire was." Cam admitted."You scared the shit out of us!" Kent exclaimed."Sorry about that.
*Tristian's POV*This cannot be happening. There's no fucking way."Brother?" Haven asked. "Tris...you told me you were an only child.""I didn't technically say that,""But you didn't tell me you had a brother!""I know! Just-Trevor, what are you doing here?" I asked."Surprise visit bro. Mom and Dad went on a cruise and told me to come here to be here with you for Christmas. But I see, you already have pretty good company."He looked Haven up and down. I already knew what he was thinking. I knew in his mind he was fucking her brains out. This is what he always did when I had a girlfriend.
Tristian's POV"Girlfriend?" Haven questioned."Yeah. We were together before he moved here and we've kept in contact. We talk all the time."Haven turned to me. "All the time huh? So you were mad about me having guy friends but you've had a whole other girlfriend the entire time?!" She threw her drink in my face and walked off.I got up but Aleecia stopped me. "No, don't go after her. I can't believe you!" She ran after her."Was it something I said?" Viola asked."We need to talk," I grabbed her arm and pulled her away. "What the fuck is wrong with you?""Baby, why are you mad? I thought you wanted to see me."
~Haven's POV~Mason pressed me against the door and kissed me hard. It was still missing what Tristian gave me, but I ignored it again."I've wanted to do this with you since that night we met." Mason whispered against my lips. "You were so fucking beautiful pressed against me like that while we danced.""I knew you wanted me." I grinned. "And now I'm yours."Saying I was anyone's but Tristian's felt kind of strange. Almost like cheating.No. Cheating is what he did. He lied and he had another girl and he used me. He really did just want to bag a virgin. That's all I ever was to him. A conquest.I pulled Mason's jacket off and threw it to the floor before he pulled me towards the b
*Tristian's POV*Everything worked out.Haven didn't sleep with that tool and we were back together. Now I had to handle my brother and Viola. I had to do a little scheming to make sure they didn't ruin anything else."So, I have an announcement." I stated.Viola looked up from her phone. "You gonna fuck me?""No.""Boo.""Anyways I told Haven the truth about the incident." I said."No way." Trevor smiled. "And she forgives you?""Yep. I mean she's not thrilled and she said it'll take some time to trust me fully again but that she thinks we
*Tristian's POV*Eight Months Ago"I'm bored, Tristian." My girlfriend Viola groaned. "Let's go out.""And do what babe?""Get up to some trouble.""Did I hear trouble?" My brother Trevor popped his head into the room. "We could call up the guys and do some joyride antics.""Like destroying some mailboxes, egging some houses, potatoes up car exhausts?" I grinned."You read my mind, bro." He smirked."Is that enough trouble for you baby?" I asked Viola.A devilish grin came across her face. "Sure is. Let's fucking go."
~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. Tired of pretending everything w
~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
~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
~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.
*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
*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
