Tangled Love Chapter 15: Obsessed.
Three years ago.Jace's POV.This fair well party turn out is fucking ridiculous.Luke threw a party at this same pool house last year but it was invites only.Cassie on the other hand opened the door right open and told everyone to come in and party their assess off.I didn't think I'd like this party being thrown in my name but then again no one has ever done anything like this for me and I gotta admit, it's quite nice."You and Cassandra need to date for real, I'm fucking serious." Diego tosses the little white ball into one of the red cups on my side of the ping-pong table.I heave a sigh."I think this is the first time you're approving my relationship with someone and it's not even a real relationship." I pick up the cup and I chug the drink, retrieving the ping-pong ball from the bottom afterwards."Well no one's ever thrown a blast like this for you so yeah, I approve." He nods."Fucker." I mutter, throwing the ball at him but he dodges it, laughing.Blair joins in from nowher
Tangled Love Chapter 16: Bad Combination.
Three years ago.Jace's POV."I'm busy!" I respond to Cass, my eyes still glued to Olivia."It's show time!" She shouts back.Show time means Sandra's here so we have to do the whole make her jealous thing."Is Cassandra Richardson your new girlfriend?" Asks Olivia as she looks at the door."What's it to you?" I scoff.She rolls her eyes at me and tries to walk away."Hey, hey, hey, chill." I grab her arm, "It's complicated." I answer her question."How complicated?" Her face looks serious, I watch her expression in disbelief.I might be obsessed but Olivia is a little bit possessive. A very bad combination indeed."I can't explain how complicated it is but, she's not my girlfriend." I shake my head."You're sleeping with her then." Her eyes go round, I laugh."Please say fuck before I call you a Normie." I joke, that makes her smile."I am a Normie." She clarifies."I don't think you should be saying that to anyone else.""You haven't answered my question." She changes the subject,
Tangled Love Chapter 17: Doomed from the start.
Three years ago.Jace's POV.I ended up at Cassandra's house.She said she wanted to pick something from her house before driving me home, I followed her into the mansion because I wanted to see the inside of her house again but the second I jumped on her comfortable Queen sized bed, my eyes closed shut and I let sleep take over my senses.Now I'm awake, I don't know what time it is but I can tell that it's pretty early.Cass is still sound asleep beside me and I'm usually not an early bird, especially if I had a lot to drink but I can't stop thinking about what Cass said at the party.I jokingly asked Olivia if she could break up with her boyfriend, I didn't mean it but the way she backed away from me then gave me that look makes me question things now.Why kiss me?Why tell me how you feel?Why give me hope?The fuck are you doing?And then there's Diego, my so called best friend who had a long ass conversation with his neighbor and her boyfriend.Sigh.That son of a bitch fooled me
Tangled Love Chapter 18: Feelings.
Three years ago.Jace's POV.Olivia went upstairs to shower, I'm currently pacing back and forth in her living room like a nervous little bitch.The fuck am I nervous about?I don't know why I'm here, I think it has something to do with my feelings, which is a first cause it's never about how I feel, I'm all about making other people satisfied.Which proves that Cass was right.This is not gonna end well for me.Her dog is watching me and growling at me but hey, what's new?Thirty minutes pass and she still hasn't walked down those stairs.How many minutes does it take a girl to shower?I wait a little while longer but I eventually find myself climbing the stairs, as soon as I get upstairs I hear muffled sobbing coming from what I'm assuming is her room.She's crying?She's been up here crying while I was down there trying to communicate with her dog?I grasp the doorknob, slowly twisting it open and peeking my head inside first.She's sitting on the edge of her bed in her bathroom tow
Tangled Love Chapter 19: Ryder.
Present Day.Olivia's POV."...And then he kisses the life out of me, I'm like ready to rip his clothes off at this point but guess what happens next?" I ask Myra and Izzy as I pace back and forth in front of the couch they are seated on."What?" They question at the same time."He lets me go and steps away from me." I tell them the events of my night."What the fuck?" Izzy laughs."No way." Exclaims Myra."I know, right? I'm like bro, what's your problem? And then he says goodnight and leaves just like that." I explain with my hands."Did you at least make use of your vibrater after that traumatic experience?" Myra rests her head on Izzy's shoulder."And fantasize about him while I'm at it? No way in hell, he's officially dead to me." I declare in a dramatic tone."Yeah, so, that's gonna be a little hard." Myra bites her teeth."No, it's not." I shake my head, still pacing."Nah, I mean, I invited him over for lunch, he said he'd... show." She whispers the last part."Fuck me." I sta
Tangled Love Chapter 20: Hall creek river
Three years ago.Jace's POV.Hallcreek River is all about business, it's neat and nice hence why it's considered a tourist attraction.My Mum's pizzeria is one of the many restaurants lined up at Hallcreek River but it's nothing fancy, it's simple and loud and Mum sets up a stage outside the restaurant on Sundays so random talented people can perform infront of a crowd.My Mum lets my siblings and I work at the restaurant on weekends, I hate every moment of it, not because I don't wanna help out but because of all the stares and flirting I receive from some of the customers.I won't lie, I really used to like the attention but now it's just upsetting.Diego and I set up the stage outside earlier but it started raining so I guess no one is performing tonight.I haven't thought about the talk I had with Olivia, I like how the conversation ended.I have a feeling she won't actually break up with her boyfriend but maybe that's a good thing, but then again if she does end up doing it then.
Tangled Love Chapter 21: Antidote.
Three years ago.Jace's POV.Olivia drank three beers and started stuttering and giggling.Beer doesn't do it for me so I got myself something stronger, the bench got really cold so we moved to the back of Diego's car.Olivia is telling me a story about the first time she talked to Diego while I'm taking large gulps from the liquor bottle in my hand and studying every movement she's making.We had that moment, the moment where we told each other our big, darkest fears then she told me she broke up with her boyfriend.I don't know what we are doing right about now but I don't care, this is worth it, she's worth it.Like on instinct, I bring my hand to her ponytail, pulling the scrunchie and releasing her hair.She stops talking because of it, I slip the scrunchie on my wrist, taking another long sip, "Continue." She rakes her fingers through her hair and and shakes her head at me with an amused smile."Why didn't you tell me we had met before? At that costume party last year?" I final
Tangled Love Chapter 22: The aftermath.
Three years ago.Jace's POV.I'm locked inside Olivia's bathroom, my eyes haven't left my reflection in the mirror and a part of me wants to punch through the glass. I don't know what I'm doing in here, I should be on my way home.I decided to come in here right after she told me it was her first time, I mean, I don't get it, she told me her boyfriend was her first time but even if she hadn't, why wouldn't she just tell me the goddamn truth?Breaking someone's virginity isn't something I do on a Sunday night, there's a reason why I don't associate with virgins, the last virgin I was with was Sandra and that was my first time too and it was absolutely stressful, I thought I was hurting her the entire time regardless of her constantly telling me she was fine.And because I didn't know Liv was a virgin, I went at her like an animal thinking that she...... Hell, I can't even bring myself to say it."Fuck, fuck, fuck." I rub the side of my face, guilt swimming in the pit of my chest, killi

Tangled Love Chapter 48: You'll be okay.
Present Day.Olivia's POV.His side of the story is worse than I imagined.I feel like throwing up.I feel like getting out of here, of this entire apartment building, I feel like running on that sidewalk until my legs give out.I haven't cried, I don't know why I haven't cried but my insides are bottling up with all kinds of emotions.I love this guy, there was a part of me that said it was just lust but right now, I know for sure that it's love cause only love can make me hurt the way I'm hurting right now.But the question is, is this guy real? The Jace from three years ago was nothing like this Jace. This Jace is perfect and he makes me feel safe but what if he was just doing all those things because of what he did to me? What if it was all an act? What if I'm in love with someone who doesn't exist?I decide to snap out of my head and listen to what he's rambling about."Liv, please, I know I fucked up but I'm here now, I'm here for you," he pleads, stalking closer to me.I pin h
Tangled Love Chapter 47: A would we can't heal.
Three years ago.Jace's POV.I don't even know what I'm doing at this point.I'm supposed to be staying away from her and starting my brand new chapter but here I am, driving her home.I glance over to her and I catch her hand wiping her cheeks as she stares out the window.Shit."Are you crying? What'd I say?" I ask as I shift my eyes back to the dark road."Nothing, I'm not crying, I have something in my eye," her voice is hoarse like she's been crying a while."Hey, what'd I say?" I touch her shoulder."Nothing, I just realized that our relationship was just so... not meant to be, you know?" "Yeah. freaky, right?" I tighten my grip on the steeling wheel."Hurtful." She says softly."Hurtful." I repeat in a whisper."Guess you should have this back," her hands reach behind her neck to take off the star necklace I gave her."No, Liv, you don't have to-""I know but I can't keep it, Jace, it'll never let me let you go," she takes it off and holds it out for me.I know I have no choic
Tangled Love Chapter 46: Chaotic party: part 2.
Three years ago.Jace's POV.Dunkin's cabin makes this party feel important, I mean, it is important, we just graduated high school and we'll be leaving our parents's houses in a few months and we'll be all alone in the real world.It's a little bit scary but it sounds ecstatic."Where are you going for the summer?" I ask Cass, passing her the joint that we came out here to smoke."New York," she takes it from my fingers, "I signed with a really good agency and I think it's time to give modeling my full attention," she says with a lot of certainty."What about College?" I shove my hands in my pockets."College who?" She places the joint between her lips and sucks in her cheeks."Seriously?" I chuckle at her response."Nah," she laughs, "I'll take online classes," she tells me."You have it all figured out, huh?" I sigh, looking up at the sky that rumbles with thunder."No one has it all figured out, plans change all the time," she breaths out a puff of smoke, "And you? Where are you g
Tangled Love Chapter 45: Not what it seems.
Present Day.Olivia's POV.This is insane.I've never even been to New York city, I've never even dreamed about visiting the city but here I am.Cassandra sent me a ticket and she had someone pick me up from the airport, as promised, I spent the entire ride admiring the city, it's pretty crowded and everyone looks so busy but I think I like it, can't say I can imagine myself living here but a girl can't help but dream.Cassandra lives in a penthouse and it's freaking insane, it has floor to ceiling windows that make me feel nauseous, the furniture around me looks luxurious and I could die in peace on the leather sofa I'm sitting on.I've been sitting here for five minutes and she still hasn't come out of the shower that her assistant told me she was having. I'm getting anxious and impatient and my heart won't stop aching.Can't say it's because I'm meeting a celebrity.Whatever it is that Jace and his friend did to me, it's so important a celebrity sent me a ticket just to tell it to
Tangled Love Chapter 44: Sorry.
Three years ago.Jace's POV.The drama.The fights.The scolding.The hard training.The excitement.The laughter.The meaningless relationships.It's all over in just one day.As I watch all the seniors run wild with excitement, ripping pages out of their notebooks and littering them around because whatever is on there has officially become useless to all of us, my thought is, what was the point? What was the point of high school?"School's out forever, bitches!" Matt screams in my ear and his girlfriend Daisy squeals after him.I push his face away from my personal space."Fucking finally!" Diego responds to Matt with the same energy."Did you guys hear about the last party ever?" Whispers Daisy as she wraps her hands around Matt's arm."What party?" Diego sounds just as lost as I am."Dunkin dumbass Dickinson is throwing a graduation party at his cabin tomorrow night," Says Matt with an eye roll."Yooo, his fucking cabin is sick!" Diego slaps my chest with the back of his hand."Ye
Tangled Love Chapter 43: Scheming.
Present Day.Olivia's POV.A part of me doesn't want to but it has to be done.I have to find out what Jace is hiding. Now or never.The plan was to text Cassandra on social media but Myra suggested something easier.If Jace dated Cassandra in highschool and is still hung up on her then he probably still has her number, Jace trusts Myra with his devices so she's the right girl for the job.The new plan is for me to distract Jace while Myra "borrows" his phone and steals her phone number.Easy. I think.The only problem is that Jace has been nothing but sweet to me for these past few weeks, he takes me out on dates, photographs me because I'm the prettiest girl he's ever seen, he texts me first thing in the morning even though we only live a few feet from each other and he supports me and makes me feel beautiful.I don't know about Olivia one but no one's ever made me feel like that before, he makes me happy.But then again, deep down, I feel like it's too good to be true.Whatever it
Tangled Love Chapter 42: Not my fault.
Three years ago.Jace's POV."Hey, hey, hey, take it easy" Tyler yanks the bottle from my hand."I just can't stop picturing them having sex in his car while my mind was filled with stuff like where I was going to take her for our second date, I mean, I suck at those things but for her, I was willing to try," I rub my clammy hands against my jeans."What was so special about this girl anyway?" He wrinkles his face at me."She made me feel like I was ready to change, you know? Like I was ready to be a better version of me," I slur thoughtfully."And what do you feel right now?" He asks."I feel like staying single for a very long time, I don't want anyone else to make me feel this fucked up again," my chest heaves and I swallow the heavy lump in my throat."Yeah, the life of the party is the easiest thing there is," he pats my shoulder."Do you have any pills?" I bring my shaking hand to my neck, feeling the lump grow stronger and stronger."I'm not giving you any pills," he sounds det
Tangled Love Chapter 41: Misunderstanding.
Three years ago.Jace's POV.Today, I won the race because Olivia's parents are finally out of town and I'm finally free to see her at her house whenever I want.I can't stop thinking about getting the hell out of here and spending the rest of my night cuddling and kissing her.Yeah, I'm a walking cliche, I know."Holy mother of abs," Blair stands in front of my bike and dramatically widens her eyes at my chest."You like?" I playfully smooth a hand down my sweaty chest."Uh-huh," she nods and takes out her phone to take a picture of me."No, Blair, come on," I lift my hand to my face as an attempt to hide it from the camera."Relax, it's not for me, this is Cassandra's phone, imagine her face when she finds this picture in her phone," She laughs and I drop my hand, grinning at her."There we go," she takes the picture."Wait, Cass is here?" I look around the crowded place for the blonde."Yep, had to drag her out of bed and everything," she says as her thumbs fractionally type on Cas
Tangled Love Chapter 40: Milkshakes and reunions.
Three Years ago.Jace's POV.Growing up, my mum made Milkshakes a solution to everyone's sadness, other parents would take their kids out for ice cream but she always thought milkshakes were better than ice cream.I'm not exactly sad, but I'm also not not sad. It's been two weeks since Olivia's parents showed up in town, two weeks since she and I had a fight over her moving around with her ex, two weeks since she assured me that he was nothing and I meant everything.I left it alone and we moved on but I barely see her, she calls me and we text all night but it's not enough. I wanna hear her laugh and kiss her while she's smiling at me.Anyway....I haven't been to Shake n' Sip since.... I don't even remember, well, I guess since Reign graduated, she brought the fun and humor to the place and I just couldn't see myself walking into the shop and not hearing a sarcastic remark from her.And yet here I am, drinking milkshakes on the counter, kinda like the same way a grown man with probl
