Chapter 31

Emma's POV I felt like Kevin made me feel when Chase didn't show up. We were to meet by four pm at the bottom of the stairway. I missed a class and wanted forty five minutes for someone who wasn't in school. Unfortunately, Jessica and her new man, who surprisingly happened to be Mr Rudd already had their minds on the bottom of the stairway too for their make out session. I heard all sorts of obscenities. I wished I could block their sound, but if I made the slightest movement, they'd have heard. I endured the harrowing experience for twenty five of the forty five minutes I was stood up. The last half of the day was a blur. Firstly, Chase got on Mr Rudd's nerve cause of me, then he stood me up. It made no sense, but I couldn't talk to anyone about it, because what we had wasn't ideal in the first case. I went home with hopes of seeing Chase there. I wasn't so keen on it, but it sure would have helped. Chase wasn't home either. The maid he was fucking the first time I saw hi

Chapter 32

Lily's POV Grayson and Emma had a small bit of background in common, but I didn't want to let Emma know about it. I've not been fortunate with men, or boys. I really wanted Gray and I to last, till, well, forever. Gray and Emma grew up in the same town. Then his dad remarried when he was about six years old and moved him from Starry town to County City. Emma too grew up in Stary town. Gray went back to see his mom and step siblings a few days after our shopping spree and two days before the Senior Trip. He came back a different person, but not to me, thankfully. He began to withdraw from Chase and Emma which I found weird. He and Chase were like two peas in a pod, I wouldn't have been with him because of how close he was to Chase, but I also knew Chase would never say anything about it, so I took my chances with being with Chase's brother from another mother. Gray didn't seem to want to do stuff with Emma anymore, and I guess since she became Chase's new fancy, it kinda rub

Chapter 33

Grayson’s POV Days before the school trip, Mom called to come see her and I thought I could squeeze in a day or two. I took the three hour trip from County to Starry town. It was still just how I remembered it. Everything was the exact same, except my mom. She was with someone else, but she wasn't too happy and didn't look good either. “Hey Ma.” I said, as soon as I got in. “Hey baby. How are you?” She asked, “I'm fine ma.” I replied to her. “I don't know what to say of you though.” I said, daring to talk about something I knew could be sensitive to her. “Just say it, Son, say it.” She said, “Mom, you look bad.” I said. I didn't like seeing her like that. She had two more sons from her other marriage. “It's not his fault,”She said. “That's all the answer I need mom. I didn't even ask if it was him.” I replied, pissed. “Gray, this isn't your battle to fight. I have to stay for Mike and Jerry.” She said, more to herself than to me. We had the discussion over

Chapter 34

Emma's POV “Gray and Lily are acting weird.” I told Chase. “Is that so?” He asked, seeming so unconcerned. “Yeah. I wanted to sit by them and they were so hostile.” Replaying it in my head made me almost want to cry. Heartbreaks were bad, but friendship breakups too were somewhere on that list of things that could make someone go mad. “Did they say anything?” Gray asked. “Anything like what?” I had a sneaky feeling that he knew something, but Chase wasn't a really readable person. “I don't know. Something out of the ordinary?” He asked. . He was so engrossed in his food, one would've thought that it wasn't his best friend we were talking about. “Their whole freaking attitude was. That's the exact fucking thing I'm saying.” His ‘I don't care’ attitude was getting on my nerves. I was already on the verge of tears, and he wasn't helping matters. “Just go somewhere else.” I said. “And you're complaining about Gray and her?” Chases rarely ever called Lily by h

Chapter 35

Emma's POV Chase came and sat right next to me as I predicted. Lily still didn't move a finger “What's going on?” I whispered in her ear. “I don't want to talk right now.” She said back. “Why?” I asked her. “Cause we're in class?” She sounded quite sassy, but I wasn't ready to back down. Just then, Jessica passed by. “Man and wife, bitch and man.” She said, Grayson was sitting on one end, Lily followed, I did, then Chase. I didn't need to be told that she was referring to me. Shockingly, Gray acknowledged her. I looked at Chase to check if he saw the exchange they had just happened, and I confirmed he did. His look wasn't pleasant. “What's going on man?” I read the note he passed to me and looked at him. “Pass it on to Gray.” He said. I passed it to Gray, boycotting Lily. I doubt she would touch anything Chase touched even with the longest of spoons. Gray passed the paper back through Lily who gave me when she could have reached for Chase directly. I sent

Chapter 36

Emma's POV “Still going out with me?” Chase popped his head in my room and asked I had long stopped bolting my door. It didn't stop anything. Every single time I tried to do it, thinking it would keep me away from Chase, it only brought me closer to him. I'd overthink myself into unlocking the door again. “That's the most hideous hat I ever saw.” I joked with him. “There's more where it came from.” He responded. He was obviously in a better mood, and it was good, for me. “I'm sorry about earlier.” I apologized, getting out of bed. “That's alright. I'm the villain in every story. Hurry up before I show you why that is.” He joked with a little wink. Chase was crazy, there was no going back about it. “Alright.” I replied, laughing. “Would you like me to watch, or you'd rather I stayed out in the cold?” He asked, with a very exaggerated sense of need. “I'd rather you froze over than watch me get dressed.” I replied to him. . He made a very funny disappointed fa

Chapter 37

Emma's POV “Emma, all you're being right now is irrational.” Chase said as he parked in his dads garage.He had a bit of trouble trying to reverse and park in a garage which contained no less than ten luxury cars. “I can't remember asking for your opinion.” I replied to him. “You don't have to. I literally told you what happened and now it somehow comes back to bite me in the ass.” He said. “Chase, please just park and let me get out.” I replied. “Emma, please.” He said, turning the engine off. “I never should have told you anything.” “Is that an attempt at making me pity you?” I asked him. I wasn't feeling the game he was playing. All I wanted was to be alone. The next day, we were gonna be taking pictures in our uniform for the school yearbook. I needed to rest and breathe if I was going to be amongst people who thought I was a killer. I can't believe the whole school walked about seeing me like that. “You can run, Emma.” You can't hide. I went up still, not

Chapter 38

Emma's POV I wasn't going to let their disrespect slide anymore. She most likely already heard my voicemail, and still didn't reply to me. “Lily, don't you think you're being a little too bitchy.” I said, dragging her back by the shoulders. “Take your hands off her.” Gray turned back and screamed at me. We were causing a scene as students had begun to gather to watch us in the hallway. “Shut the fuck up.” Lily's tiny voice boomed through the air. But she wasn't referring to me, she was talking to Chase.I stood aside and let them battle their shit out. “You're a fucking liar. A fucking cheat. You said she meant nothing to you.” Lily screamed at him. “Lily. Come on. This isn't even the place for this. We're causing a scene. Let's talk somewhere else.” I could see the guilt in Chase's eyes. Lily kept crying and sobbing and speaking incoherently. I wanted to hold her, but I didn't know how she'd react, so I stayed put. Her hair was already disheveled. She launched a

Chapter 39

Chase's POV Emma was avoiding me, and I got it. I finally told my infatuated self that it was probably time to step back a bit. So I played her game well. I didn't want to have to sit among the many people who I knew never liked me. Almost all the friendships I ever had were false or forced, and I was used to that. I barely had anyone genuine till... I stayed in classes throughout lunch break, waiting for the day to end so I could go back to my meaningless and purposeless life. It was about ten minutes till the next class when I started hearing noise and commotion in the walkway. I wanted to sit it out as there was always something like that in a school where everyone wanted power and fame. I let it go on for another five minutes, when I heard Gray scream Emma's name. I stood up and went to where everyone was gathered, which was obviously where they had their fight. The show was over, but their audience was still thrilled and happy. Saying all sorts of things about Gray, and

Chapter 40

Lily's POV I probably seem like the bad guy in the story. But as always, I don't care, I never cared. I hadn't gotten past blaming my parents' very messy divorce for my misdemeanors. We had court hearings almost every other week. Like it wasn't bad enough, my dad always brought along our step siblings. I hated the whole idea of it. I know I came off as a child when I always asked them why they didn't just split and handle their shit on their own, but it was all really just annoying. Strangers who, for all who knows, might have a messy family issue themselves sitting to judge my family. I made enemies of all the attorneys and judges, for and against. I just decided I had had enough of it all, and decided to visit a private bar. I thought it was the drink when I saw someone who looked like Chase come in, so I didn't bother looking too much, for fear I'd embarrass the person. “Has to be him.” I said to myself. He did what my baby brother called ‘violent drinking’. Shot after
