"Are you okay?" Ace whispered, rubbing my back soothingly.
I wiped my nose on the back of my hand, sniffing and clinging closer to him. "I think so."
He raised his hands, picking me up from his lap. Fear gripped him hard. No, no. I needed human contact right now. More like Bryan contact. I needed comfort and someone to make be me feel wanted. And at this point he was exactly what I desired desperately. I encircled my arms around his neck, burying my face deeper into his shoulder.
"Not yet, please." I whispered weakly. The plea echoed in the tiny confines of car.
His arms dropped and then wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer. His face rubbed against my hair, kissing them lightly. "I am so sorry." Taking my face in his palms he kissed my ear, "Really sorry." He kissed my cheek. "I didn't know this would scare you." He kissed the right corner of my lips, "I won't do that again."

I wish I had such friends! How are your friends??--Chapter 18 - Selfie is short for selfish.~~The next morning when I woke, I was alone on the bed and the sound of water gushing came from the bathroom. At least he didn't run away, terrified after seeing my emotional side.I rolled out of the bed and grabbed some clothes, waiting for him to come out. The minute he came out, I ran inside, my bladder threatening to burst.After my shower, we went to school on his motorbike. I didn't know how he got his motorbike back here but I was happy. Motorbike over car any day, expect on a rainy day. One is to skid and get a fractured bone especially at Bryan's driving speedThe journey was short and consisted of only "hi's", "see ya's".Were things already changing?"We should go to my place." Janice suggested after school, not waiting for our response. She opened the door and sat inside her c

Chapter 19 - Goodbye.~~"Why am I here?" I asked furiously for the final time."I already said I am saving you right." Ace groaned, leaning back on the bed.I kicked his legs hard, making him fall of the bed. He let out a shriek of pain as he pulled the plain blanket down with him."Damn woman, it's just 6.30 in the morning. Too early for this shit." He rubbed his ankles which had hit the corner of bed."I don't care. I am awake from 5.45." I reminded, scowling at him."I hate girls on periods." He muttered under his breath.I threw a pillow at him. "Don't piss me off more." I warned him."Fine, can I at least take a shower?"I nodded, throwing his towel at him. "Hurry up. I am hungry too. Get some chocolates."He went into the bathroom, saying something like 'I hate this'. Nor do girls love it but we don't grumble about it, at least try not to. Sometimes I just don't understand why blood

I am not that mean guys!!But it was fun to see you all get jittery and angry and crying!here we go! Enjoy!Chapter 20 - Every guy with tattoo screams trouble.~~Recap:I will miss you, the whole of you. Your eyes, your lips, your smirk, your hugs, your presence, you! I wanted to shout. But held back. I was already feeling very guilty. "I have to go." I said, opening the passenger seat. "Goodbye, Bryan."He shook his head, looking utterly broken, a man in agonizing pain and yet there was decisive tone when he spoke. “See you soon, muf-Joanna."And if someone asked me what was it like to lose him? I would reply- It was like hearing every goodbye said to me, all at once.*I gazed out of the window silently as the trees passed by, my vision blurred by unshed tears. Every word, every syllable said just a few minutes back rang aloud in my ears incessantly. I realized I did like him. A

Chapter 21 - Hurting you was never my intention.~~"What is it called when your crush has a crush on you?" Logan asked excitedly."I don't know.""Imagination!"I gave him a flat displeased look. "If that was supposed to make me smile, you aren't doing a good job."He sighed dejectedly, tapping his finger on his chin. Thinking of another lame joke. Until now he had said quite a few jokes and although some had made me smile a bit, I just wasn't in a mood to laugh. I simply wanted to cuddle into a ball of sadness.I sighed and leaned on my Tom and Jerry cushion staring out of the window. Contradictory to my mood, the day was sunny and lovely which made me melancholier. I frowned at the sun, hoping it would get my message and hide behind the clouds for the rest of the day. When it didn't, I twisted my lips and turned to my friends who at least respected my emotions.We were in my room, mom had said no boys

Chapter 22 - Five down. Zero to go.~~~You know you have lost something when you let it go and it doesn't come back.Those were my exact feelings at the moment. I was trying to survive day six 'being-away-from-Bryan' and it was strenuous, pathetic and pure, unadulterated torture. And I was failing miserably. My ability to keep eat like a pregnant elephant had suddenly vanished and the only thing my stomach could bear was milk, ice cream and fruits. The water in my body had probably drained considering the number of tears that my eyes produced hourly. But then again a tear is 1% water and 99% feelings. In that case I should be devoid of feeling anything. Which was true too, I felt numb.I had waited, holding a ray of hope that Bryan would at least try to talk to me after our conversation but all my hopes drowned themselves into an ocean of despondency; when he ignored me the very next day at school. I died

The pervert was totally unresponsive, hopefully fainted but not dead. I didn't want to be in a court as a live witness for the murder of a guy who almost took my virginity unwillingly.My knight in shining armor took a tentative step near me and his face came nearer, I gasped. "Sean?"~I stared at the person who saved the creation of an atrocious memory, Sean O'Connell, in pure shock. He was the last person I was expecting to even come here, saving me was beyond notion. I blinked, wondering if my drunk eyes were playing 'Guess Who? Not him'. One look at his slight smirk and black eyes I was thoroughly sure it was Sean O'Connell, Bryan Cooper's step-brother and Anastasia's ex fling or whatever it is that they had.I blin

"I know." I curtly said, looking out of the car window.Bryan grunted in irritation, looking at me. A pretty scowl on his well sculpted face."Eyes on the road." I snapped, pointing at the road.He rolled his eyes but turned to face ahead. "Did you know Justin Bieber has more Twitter followers than Canada has people?"My eyes widened in surprise and horror. My first instinct was to go and search for his Twitter account as I wasn't following him but I held back, not ready to give him that satisfaction. Bryan smirked noticing my dilemma."I knew that too." I lied, folding my hands under my chest."Liar.""Am not."He

She was going to pull the fake guilt card.She pouted and then started blinking her eyes in innocence. "But you promised we would be together, we would love each other endlessly, get a home in Hawaii, furnish it ourselves, after that we would adopt two pretty babies, spoil them senseless and have a great life. And now- now you're datingthisguy." She pointed at Ace with distaste who was looking at us with fear.He coughed before gulping. "You two were together?" He asked in terror, taking Janice's words so seriously that it made me mentally double over in laughter.Before I could answer, Janice spoke, waving her forefinger at him.

Thank you for being such an amazing reader! I love you! Epilogue "Oh my god! Push it harder." I groaned. "I am trying." Bryan said breathlessly. "Try harder and do it fast." "Why don't you move and help me too?" He huffed, trying to push it deeper. I smiled slickly, spreading my legs wider on the bed. "Because this is the guy's job." He gritted his teeth and with one last push it finally reached inside. We both exhaled in contentment. "Finally." "I told you it was too big to enter." Bryan said smugly. I just rolled my eyes. "But it did right?" "Thank god you two finally managed to push the damn box inside the drawer." Logan remarked, entering the room. I stuck out my tongue. "The guest bed and couch are in place?" He nodded. "Yeah though Alan and Ian did most of it. Since my leg is still unfit." He grinned haughtily. "Please it's been almost two years since that incident and we all know you can run a marathon now." I snorted, smacking his back. Logan smirked. "Hey don't

The last chapter! :( Who else is sad this is ending??? -- Chapter 33 - Wrap it before you tap it. ~~ It was awkward. Super-duper awkward. I glanced through my eyelids as my dad shifted on the beige colored couch, picking up his coffee mug from the table all the while glaring at the extremely uncomfortable Bryan, or at least trying his best to glare. Connor sat beside my dad stifling a smile. I and mom were huddled on the opposite chair, glancing nervously at the scene playing in front of us. "So..." My dad cleared his throat, pausing as he thought of something to say. "Your name is Bryan." And that is what he comes up with! To say my father couldn't interview my boyfriend was the biggest understatement. "Yeah." Bryan nodded, touching his blue shirt collar anxiously. This was probably the first time he was wearing a shirt that too with a tie. He looked pretty hot and I would have kissed him senselessly if my father wasn't in front trying his best to act strict. "Why are you

Chapter 32 - The python turned into a butterfly. ~~ I hated hospitals. The smell of bleach filled my nose and I wrinkled it, not liking the smell even a bit. The corridors seemed stuffy as families huddled in corners weeping and hugging each other. The walls so empty and plain reflected the lives of many people present here. The floor shined brightly, way too brightly as the workers kept wiping it even though it was more than clean. Nurses moved swiftly, only stopping to give sympathetic smiles. Doctors rushed all over the place, their faces twisted with tension. My blank eyes drank in the scene without any emotion. I felt hollow and extremely guilty. My back pressed against the wall and my hands buried in my pockets, I knew I never wanted to come back to hospitals again. "No! Please try. He can't die yet. Just try one more time. I beg you, please." I blinked at the commotion. A young lady with a small boy in her hands wept uncontrollably as she begged an old doctor to save some

Are you ready!?--Chapter 31 - I had even chosen my wedding dress and names for our babies.~~"Kill Anastasia.""No, grab her.""Just shoot her in the head.""Are you crazy? We need her alive."Alan and Ian fought as they gripped a furious Anastasia's arms tightly while Connor, Logan and Max were busy fighting the bodyguards. Dylan was throwing punches at Riyaz and Blacky was hitting Scar-face. Wait! What? Blacky is on our side? Woah.My eyes finally settled on Bryan who was regarding me with cautious eyes. I allowed my eyes to roam all over him. Those messed up hair, honey brown eyes, kissable lips, thin layer of beard over his jaw, the way his red tee clung to his sweaty chest and his faded black jeans. He was a tremendous sight and all mine. Just as I was about to run to him and kiss him senselessly something hit my back from behind.I turned and saw Mr. Unfamiliar’s back to me

Oh yes, apparently minds works in a ridiculously dirty way when bored. Mr. Unfamiliar slapped Ian's back as a warning and I pressed my lips together fighting the bubbling laughter."Make sure they reach there. No more drama. I'll call the others." Mr. Unfamiliar said to Alan and walked off.As soon as he disappeared round the corner, Ian and I burst into laughter."Go deeper inside." Ian repeated walking ahead. "We are all going deeper inside, it'ssohuge."I laughed even more, clutching my stomach. "Shut up Ian and find thespot.""Go right." Alan said from behind us and I detected masked laughter.

Chapter 29 - Your password is so predictable.~~I was still looking at my once best friend, Alan McCarthy, in utter bewilderment and distress when Ace stepped towards him, punching him square on the face.I didn't do anything to protest. I couldn't. I was frozen in complete shock."You are a pathetic excuse for a friend." He snarled.Alan stumbled back from the punch but held himself together. The blank vile expression on Alan's face didn't change. He spat on the ground and looked at Ace with so much hatred that it even shook me to the cores."You are a pathetic excuse for a gang member." Alan sneered. I blinked my eyes hoping that the Alan I knew would come back.Where was the friend who held me when I fell in my freshman gym sessions? Where was the friend who made me smile when I was feeling low? Where was the friend whom my mother adored and let him have the cookies even though he dropped crumbs all over the floor

I asked Ace, settling on his bed in Indian style."Why? Completing your bucket list of course." He informed smirking and removing a well folded paper from his back pocket."Do you keep it with you all the time?" I pressed my lips together, finding it rather amusing.He simply winked at me and sat beside me, keeping the open paper in front of me.I glanced through the old and yet immaculate paper.Joanna's Bucket list: (If found do not read)✔1)Scream from the terrace of a high building on why I love Disney movies.2) Compliment every sad looking person on the road.

Chapter 27 - I smell babies.~~"Dylan is so sweet!" Janice gushed over the phone."Oh yeah? Did you eat him?" I joked as I drew funny patterns on the bed."Haha very funny." She said in a flat voice which instantly changed to excitement in her next words. "He took me to this new water park, the one which recently opened, you know the one which we were planning to go? Yeah that one. He took me there, he knew how much I love water rides. Isn't that sweet?!""I think it was just because he wanted to see you in a bikini." I scoffed.There was a mild pause. "I hate you."I chuckled. "I hate you more.""Fine bye."Rolling my eyes, I sat up knowing this conversation would last for at least an hour. "Drama queen. Give details."And then like predicted, my next one hour was spent in listening to every minute detail of her date, including the number of times he 'accidentally' touched her arm and stomach.&n

Chapter 26 - P-A-S-T. Previous Asset Successfully Thrown.~~I stared at the person I never thought I'd meet. I stared at her hour glass figure and elegantly dressed fashion and then looked at my dark blue sweatshirt and white shorts. I instantly felt insecure. I couldn't even blame Bryan for falling for her. She was drop dead gorgeous.I blinked a few times, hoping she would disappear. But she didn't in fact she was coming straight at me.A cherry topping to my already bad day. Awesome.I debated with my inner self on whether I should just turn away and walk off, acting like I never saw her or stand there and hear her heart wrenching words. Something inside me stopped me from moving, my legs didn't seem to cooperate at all."Joanna." Her voice was surprisingly soft but the snide smile on her face screamed fake."Anastasia." I greeted back with the same fake smile."I thought I would never get a chance to meet
