Megan's POV"Hey, Megan, what is wrong?" I heard Dexter's voice behind me, and then I felt him hold my waist as he helped me get up on my feet. Ashton has been long gone, and I didn't know how long I stayed weeping on the ground, and I felt so glad. None of our neighbors have seen me in my current state. Then my brother faced me, and he dried my tears away by using his handkerchief."Can you tell me why you are crying here outside our house like a child? You don't need to get down on the ground, Meg, for heaven's sake." Dexter said as I was trying to control myself before I spoke to him. I didn't expect my brother would find me looking so lost."I didn't know it would be painful as this, Dexter. I am in too much pain right now. I tried my best to look strong, and I hate myself for being so weak. I decided to break up with Ashton, but why I felt this way? It feels like someone pulled out my heart from my chest." I said, and my brother's face fell, and then without saying a word, he pul
Ashton's POVI can feel the pain, and I want to beg Megan to listen to me because I don't want us to break up. But I could see the sadness on her face, and I could tell she needed a break from me. I agreed that we break up, but I told her I would do my best to show her that I loved her, and I would do everything I could to win her back. And I don't care if I need to beg Lauren, but I want her to stop bothering my girl so she can have a peaceful high school life. And I am willing to do everything I can to have Megan back.When we left Astikoz hills, I didn't talk with her again because I didn't want to look pitiful. As of the moment, Megan told me there is nothing I can do that will change her mind, and because I love Megan, I give her what she wanted, and I understand all of this happened because of her brother and Isabelle. And I hate my dad for meddling in my sister's love life. I know the big difference in our lifestyle, and I wonder why it affects my dad's stature if we associate
Megan's POV"Megan, Alice, please come with me and join us to eat lunch." The housekeeper said to us, and we stopped cleaning, and we followed her to the staff quarter, and I realized they have their dining area. She served our food, and we ate our meal in silence; and I smiled at Alice when I realized the food tasted so good, and I felt so full after eating our lunch. And then the housekeeper told us we could have our one-hour break, and I realized the last time we came here, Lauren only allowed us to have a thirty minutes break.Alice begged me to have our break near the swimming pool, and I know the beautiful garden near the pool is lovely. I hate to go there because I don't want to remember the embarrassment I experienced because of Lauren. But I can't deny my friend to enjoy the view near the swimming pool. It was a beautiful sunny day, and it felt like we were spending our time in a five-star hotel, and we were having a lovely day beside the pool. Alice asked me to take her pict
Megan's POVI couldn't believe that there was a kind of pain like this, and I couldn't stop myself from crying as my brother drove away from the prominent subdivision in our city. And I hate that I am experiencing this kind of misery because of my stupidity. I know breaking up with Ashton was my decision, and I already convinced myself that I would be okay, but when I found him with my mortal enemy, Lauren, I couldn't help but feel hurt.I didn't look at Ashton when she came to Lauren's place because I was so afraid to see what was on his face, and I was not yet ready to accept that I let him go. And I don't know if I felt glad that he didn't speak with me while he waited for Lauren to came down from her room. But I know Alice was right. I insulted Ashton by breaking up with him, and I know there is no way he will come back to me after I told him that there is nothing he can do to change my mind.Now all I have to do is face my heartache and deal with the pain, and I have to eat my he
Megan's POV"I couldn't believe that this was happening to me right now. How could I face Ashton after what happened to us, Alice?" I asked my best friend as we walked to our next class."I know how you feel, Megan because I was shocked as well, and I wanted to talk to our teacher and ask him that we could exchange partners, but I don't want him to get angry with me," Alice responded as we walked faster going to our room because I don't want Ashton to chase after us even if deep inside my heart I was crying out loud to talk to him again."Yeah, I never expected our teacher would pair me with Ashton. How could it be? I know we need to present our project on Monday, and I still have a lot of time to talk with him, but with his practice and my busy schedule after class with our part-time job, I can tell we only have time this coming Sunday. I know I can prepare our presentation alone, and I will give him notes, so we don't need to talk face to face since I can send it to him through Face
Ashton's POVI know my performance during the entire game was excellent, and my coach was very pleased with our game tonight. I want to feel happy, but something is missing, and I know it was because of Megan. How I wish she were on the side stands cheering for me. I could hear the girls shouting my name while I was running on the field, and I know my fellow students came to watch our game, and only Megan and her friends weren't there. Still, when I caught Oscar on the bleachers, I suddenly felt excited, hoping Megan was in the vicinity, but I got disappointed when halfway through our game, she didn't show up, and I realized Oscar was watching the game without his close friends."Hey! Why do you look like that, Ashton? We won the game, which is what you like. You wanted to dominate the game, and you nailed it, bro." Zachary said after we finished our shower."Have you seen the face of our coach? He was impressed with your performance, and I am sure those scouts will never stop botheri
Megan's POVI know I am crazy because I already broke up with Ashton, but when he asked me if he could meet me tomorrow after my part-time job, I felt so happy, and I wanted to jump on my feet. And I was smiling during the entire class of my first period."It looks like you are in a good mood, Megan. And I am 100% sure it was because of Ashton. If I were you, I would make him my boyfriend again so you would be like that always. Ever since you broke up with Ashton, I never see you smile genuinely, and I know that you are still hurting inside, and deep in your core, you wanted to be with him." Alice said as we walked towards our next subject, and I am still lost for words after Ashton asked me to meet him tomorrow after my work. And I am still in cloud nine."But I can tell that you also felt scared to face Ashton again because you can't trust yourself, am I right?" Alice asked me, and I can't disagree with my best friend."Yeah, you are right, Al. Everything you said to me was true, I
Megan's POV"I will only give you two options, Megan, and that is we will go to your house or mine," Ashton said, and I can tell he looked so serious now after he talked with his brother, and I can tell something is bothering him."We will go to our house," I said, and I know there is no other option. I know I am doing this because I don't want to go to his house since I can't stop myself from clinging to him the moment he will bring me to his room, and I know I can't trust myself, and I know ever since Ashton became my boyfriend, there are longings I felt that only Ashton could fill."That is good then since I have been dying to get inside your house because when you were my girlfriend, you didn't invite me even once, and I wonder why? And I know it was because of your brother, but I think Dexter wasn't the only reason." Ashton said before he drove away from the parking lot of the fish shop while I became speechless, and he was right. I didn't invite him because I felt conscious I co
