Tangled Love Chapter 29: Ditch Day.
Three years ago.Jace's POV.Olivia and I are good, I think, our sex life is a little on hold without her knowing it but we're good. We had a fantastic time at the racing ring and she actually admitted to having fun.But then just when I think I have it all under control...She proves me wrong.The school hallway is crowded and noisy but I still spot them, laughing and slapping each other's shoulders in that playful or should I say flirtatious way.I don't know who the guy he is but he looks genuinely interested in her.It makes my skin crawl."Who the fuck is that?" Diego shuts his locker and stares at them too."I was gonna ask you the same thing." I respond, scowling at the way she grins up at him."Well why are you still standing here for? Let's go find out." He slaps my shoulder with the back of his hand and starts walking towards them.I should stop him, right? Cause Olivia and I are doing that whole trust thing?Fuck the whole trust thing, if I see someone flirting with my gir
Tangled Love Chapter 30: Just Friends.
Three years agoJace's POV."And then she just ignored me in front of this dude." I pass the vape pen back to her while I exhale smoke.Cass and I drove straight to her house after we ditched class, she has a flat screen tv in her room, hence why we're sitting down on her pink carpet, leaning our backs against her bed and switching between Netflix and video games since we got here but the movie she picked is kinda boring us out so now I'm telling her about the hallway thing while we vape."So what's the problem? She already told you she didn't want people's attention at school." She grabs the bowl full of popcorn, takes a handful and shoves it into her mouth."The problem is that she was flirting with this dude." I complain."Or they were just talking?" She squints her eyes at me."No, she was giving him those googly eyes." I point to my own eyes."Or maybe she was just amused by whatever the guy was talking about." Cass says suggestively."You weren't even there." I shake my head."J
Tangled Love Chapter 31: Chaotic party: part 1.
Present Day.Olivia's POV.People usually talk about what it feels like to be falling for someone. I've never related to that term before, until now.I can't keep my hands off of Jace, I think I might be obsessed with him.Obsession, lust and love are like the three things I've tried to avoid so far but here I am, obsessing over this broken, beautiful man who can throw me out the window whenever his demons tell him to.The thing is, I know that he and I are not gonna work, we're gonna fuck in every corner, fight and scream at each other every night and then one day, one of us is gonna walk away and never look back.That scenario sounds tragic, but I wasn't expecting a marriage proposal either, I'm good with the way things are between us, I mean, he's still hiding things from me but I won't force him to talk about something that he's not comfortable sharing, looking at things in that perspective makes things much easier for me.Jace picked me up around nine pm for the party but then M
Tangled Love Chapter 32: Not in control.
Three years agoJace's POV."Have you ever felt like you were meant to meet certain people?" I ask Cass's friend Tyler from Hawthorne, who has been patient enough to sit here and listen to me blubber about senseless things.We're sitting at the poolside table, he's smoking himself to death while I'm staring at Cass chat with her other friends across the pool.I've been thinking about our conversation earlier, about how she doesn't want to lose our friendship cause it's the only good thing she has right now.Yeah, so here's the thing.... It's not gonna work out.Our friendship is bound to fail one way or the other."You mean like destiny or some shit?" He blows out smoke."Yeah, like destiny." I nod."Some people will bring meaning to your life and some will bring the kind of pain that will later turn into a lesson so yeah, I believe in destiny." He responds, lifting the joint back to his lips.I sigh, leaning back in my chair, "So where am I supposed to put her?" I mutter more to mysel
Tangled Love Chapter 33: Awkward situations.
Three years ago.Jace's POV .We left Cass's car with Tyler since she and I are too drunk to drive and Olivia and Diego did not want to drive it.I'm riding with Cass in the back of Diego's car because she's really out of it and is soundly asleep with her head resting on my shoulder.I keep meeting Olivia's gaze in the rearview, she hates Cass, she doesn't want Cass anywhere near me, I know that much and after tonight, I'll grant her that wish.I glance down at Cass's head resting on my shoulder, remembering what Tyler said about everyone in her life betraying her. I didn't want to be one of those people, I really wanted our friendship to work out but life just had to swoop in.Diego brings the car to a stop in his driveway, behind his mom's car."I thought you said she was out tonight." I stare at the car ahead."Yeah, I guess she changed plans." He responds, his tone coming out a little bitter.I ignore that."Okay, she'll be cool with it, right?" I ask, he looks back at Cass and mys
Tangled Love Chapter 34: Treasure.
Three years agoJace's POV."And then the hot babysitter turned out to be some satanist trying to sacrifice him cause he had blood of the innocent." She explains with her hands.Olivia is an early riser, this morning she decided to wake up early and then wake me up and tell me all about some movie she watched.I'm currently hungover, laying flat on her bed while she's on top of me, straddling my hips as she explains the events of the movie."What the fuck?" I respond, my throat feeling dry."Literally the words that popped up on my screen when they drove two knives into an innocent guy's head." She laughs."Okay, sold, I'll watch it." I give up my protests."Many people don't like it, they say it's bad." She trails her index finger along the tattoo on my torso, it's barely a touch, she's just ghosting her finger along the ink but it still makes my skin feel fuzzy, my stomach tightens and my dick twitches.I swallow."You didn't think so?" I grasp her hand then I play with her fingers
Tangled Love Chapter 35: Lust Land.
Three years ago.Jace's POV.After I win the race against Kai Saunders, Diego, Blair, Olivia and myself head back to Diego's house. Diego's mum is never home and even when she is home, she barely notices what her son is up to, she's one of those cool mums who will give you love advise while sharing a cigarette.I wonder how life would be like if she were my mum.Dead. I'd be dead.Blair and Diego are arguing about god knows what in the kitchen, Olivia is dozing off next to me while I'm playing mortal Kombat by myself."Jace?" Olivia lazily calls beside me."Yes?" I keep pressing the controller, eyes glued to the screen."Do you think we'll ever argue like that again?" She asks, which makes me tense a little."No, not like that, we'll argue but not like that." I answer."Promise?" She shifts, a chuckle rambles in my chest and I turn my head to glance at her."Yes, Liv, I promise." I show her a reassuring smile, "Why are they arguing anyway?" I shift my attention back to the game."Dieg
Tangled Love Chapter 36: Indoor Date
Three years ago.Jace's POV."I look like one of those guys that try too much to impress a girl," I glance down at my outfit before turning my head to look at Diego, who's spinning around in my chair and restraining from laughing at my appearance."You look just fine," he waves a dismissive hand."Why do I have to wear a suit? We're not even going out, it's an indoor date." I point out."Yeah but it's still a date and you kinda have to be a real gentleman tonight, you owe her that." He says.I look at myself in the mirror again and I re-adjust my necktie."I know." I whisper underneath my tone."You know, you and I never really talked about this whole Cassandra versus Olivia thing." He says behind me.I pause, my heart somehow aches in my chest and I look down at my shoes for some reason."And it shall stay that way." I speak."Nah," I hear his footsteps approaching,"I think we need to discuss it, Jace, we've been friends since we were in diapers and I've never seen you look so confus

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.

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
