Ashton's POV"Are you alright, Pritzgold?" Coach Davis yelled at me after I stumbled on the ground hard after passing the ball to the wide receiver of our team, and I wonder why there is a big stone on the playground that we overlooked. I sprain my ankle, and it swelled immediately, and I find it hard to move. Coach has no choice but to allow me to be out from practice and asked Zachary to take me home. He advised me to put some ice on it and elevate my ankle. "Are you okay?" Zach asked the moment he gets inside the driver's seat of my car after he helped me settled on my seat."No, I am not okay because I can't pick up Megan. I hate that this is happening to me right now when I have my chance to be with Meg because this is the only time she allowed me to take her on a date because of her busy schedule." I replied, and I saw Zach shaking his head."What?" I asked why he shook his head."I was asking about your ankle and not how you feel in your heart." He said as he drove away from t
Megan's POVI can't deny I felt so worried about Ashton and his injury, and the moment I saw him on his bed, I thank the heavens that he was all right. I know he can't walk properly because of his ankle sprain, but at least he doesn't have any brain injury because that can be very scary. I never imagined in my entire life that I will be able to get inside Ashton's room. And everything is still like a dream to me, and I couldn't believe I have the chance to visit their mansion.We have been cleaning mansions every time aunt Sonia included us on her lists to be part of the cleaning ladies, and I couldn't believe there is this kind of house. I am aware that Ashton has three siblings, two brothers and one sister, and if I am going to count, they are six in the family, including his parents. And this house is so huge, and I wonder why there are people who live in this kind of house.And then I realize they have a lot of money, so they don't care how many empty rooms they have. And I can te
Megan's POVI was smiling from ear to ear the moment we left their mansion, and I still couldn't believe that Ashton is now my boyfriend. I felt so happy, and I felt like I am floating in the air, and it feels like I am on cloud nine at the moment. And while Lennon is driving the car, Ashton held my hand, and he squeezed it, and he looks at me sideways, and his sweet smile warms my heart. Then he put his arm around my shoulders, and he brings me closer to him until my head is on his chest, and it feels so wonderful.For the first time, I realized it is so amazing to have a boyfriend. And being with his brothers made it more exciting and fun. Alice was right when she told me being in love is something that feels so great that you couldn't find the perfect words to describe it. I felt scared when I realized what I thought. I am falling for Ashton Pritzgold, and I know the price I have to pay to be with him, but I tried to ignore the bad feeling that I am starting to feel, and I try to f
"I am so happy for you, Megan, but why do you sound so sad? You must be happy now that he became your boyfriend. It would be best if you sounded enthusiastic about it. Does something happen again?" Alice said the moment I told her over the phone that I accepted Ashton as my boyfriend, and I can feel her excitement when she screamed, and I couldn't contain my smile as I heard my best friend shrieked even if I can feel the pain in my heart as I remembered Dexter's words.I know I need to decide soon, but I want to be happy even for a while. I hated why Dex needs to tell me those discouraging words about Ashton's dad, but I am glad he informed me about my mom's sickness, and I felt so guilty that I didn't know about it, and I felt hurt that they kept it a secret from me. And I told Alice everything."No way, I am sorry to hear that, Megan. As your best friend, I want you to be happy, but I know Dexter will never warn you if he didn't mean it. He is a good brother to you and Ava, and I kn
Megan's POVThe moment my sister and I got out of our house, I am surprised to see a car waiting for us in our driveway. I can't tell who's car it is, and when the driver rolled down his window, I saw Lennon and Cole smiling at us. And then Lennon got out of his car, and he walked towards the backseat and opened the door for us."Good morning, Megan. I am sorry that Ashton is absent for today, and he asked me to pick you up and your sister." He said, and I couldn't stop my heart from beating so fast, and I am just glad my brother left earlier than us, or I will be in big trouble again."I hope it would be all right if I would be your driver for the day." He added, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw my sister blushed when she found Cole staring at her, and I want to scream no, it is enough that I am being attracted to Ashton, and I can't let my sister fall for Cole, too, it would be a total disaster for the four of us."You don't need to pick us up, Lennon. Besides, we are used to
Megan's POVWhen Wednesday morning came, I got frantic about what to wear since I am excited to see Ashton, and I rummaged through my closet as I get more confused because everything I can find is my long dresses and pants."What is going on with you, Megan? And this is the first time I see you like this. Are you okay?" Ava asked me after she got out of the shower."I don't know what to wear," I said as my sister laughs at me."Are you kidding me? When did you turn out like this? It bothers me that you don't care about what you were wearing before. Does it mean Ashton is going to pick us up this morning?" She asked, and when I looked at her, her face fell."And why do you look like that?" I asked her in return."Are you disappointed that Lennon and Cole will not come and get us?" I asked, and my sister blushed."Ava, you should stay away from Cole. While it is still early? Once Dex will find out you were texting Cole Pritzgold, we will be doomed. Besides, he is sixteen already." I dec
Megan's POVI couldn't see the ground because my eyes are covered with tears, and I never felt so hurt before, as if my heart is pulled out from my chest. The excruciating pain in my chest is making me cry harder. I never thought that Ashton would do something like this to me. I know I was so doubtful, at first, why he came to me and introduced himself to me when from the beginning he doesn't notice me at all. And it was the first time that Ashton looked at me that way ever since we were classmates. And right now, I knew the reason why he wanted me to be his girlfriend.I don't care if I am wet as long as I will never go back in there. Lauren made me the laughingstock of her entire friends, and Ashton is not an exception. He humiliated me and made fun of me. Ashton played with my innocent heart, and I can never forgive him for hurting me this way. And it dawned on me why my brother doesn't want me to associate with Ashton because he knew from the very start that he was the reason why
Megan's POVI didn't expect that I could sleep after what happened to Ashton and me. When I opened my eyes, I saw the sunlight rays coming from the window, and I realized it is early morning already. When I sat up on the bed, I can feel my eyes are very swollen, and I felt relieved that I didn't come home or my sister will know that I had a terrible night at Lauren's house. I tried to forget what happened last night, but no matter how I struggle to set aside those hurtful memories, they will pop up into my head, and I will feel the pain again. I got inside the bathroom and took a shower, and the cold water makes me feel a little better. I already promised myself that I would never cry, but while I am putting shampoo in my hair, I couldn't stop myself from crying as I remember the pain Ashton had caused me. I finished my bath quickly because I wanted to go home and talk with my brother. He needs to tell me the truth, or I will forever hate him for not telling me about what happened wi
