15I slept on the sofa; although the bed was big, and even if I slept beside him, we wouldn’t touch, I still chose to sleep on the couch even though my body hurts from my sleeping position.I woke before Asher could wake up. I bit my lips when I saw him topless; last night was a struggle. I try to change his clothes, but when he removes his top, he removes his pants too, and then I won’t come near him. I can’t after he just kissed me; I’m scared he might pull me and kiss me again; I’m not letting that happen, especially since he’s topless.I text Blaine if I can get out, and not even long after, the door opens, revealing Blaine and Faye. “Did you sleep here?” Faye asked. Blaine’s parents just left, so we’re free to go out.“I should be asking that,” I said and raised my brows.“I just got here, but it looks like you spent the night here.” She smirked, and I rolled my eyes.We look at Blaine, who walks towards Asher, but before waking him up, Asher opens his eyes and looks confused abo
16“Good morning.” I’m eating breakfast with my mom when Harry arrives.He wanted to fetch me so we could go to school together, and I didn’t expect him to be this early.“Breakfast, Harry?” Mom said.Harry nodded and sat beside me. He smiled and started eating. Mom raised her brows at m,e and I shook my head, not knowing how to react.She always teases me with Ashwhichthis is the first time she acknowledges Harry as my boyfriend. I don’t think Harry is profound to me; I know he prioritizes his career more than ever; I witness that while idolizing him. I think he’s just overwhelmed that there’s someone who cares for him and worships him like I do, even though plenty of girls idolize him.A lot of girls idolize him, but he ended up with me, and I want to make the most of it because this is what I wanted for a long time, but Asher makes me want to rethink if this is right.“You sure you’re okay here?” We arrivarrivedy the classroom, and I could see Asher sitting in the front row seat, b
17“Why didn’t you pursue Asher anyway? He likes you and I can see that you like him too but you seem scared.”I hate it, even Faye notice it. We’re here in her house, it’s weekend and mom’s not home so I went here instead. I hate being left alone in that big house with no one around.“I’m scared.” I said. “Our friendship might ruin because of this feelings.”“Myles, every relationship is a risk but it’s you’re choice. I just hope you wouldn’t regret it later on.”I sigh. She’s right but I like Harry too even though he’s an asshole sometimes. I should be real with Harry. I’m going straight in his face and tell him we’re over.“Guys! What’s taking so long? Let’s go!” Blaine is dripping water in Faye’s kitchen and it’s an eye sight.Asher on the other hand is dripping hotness in the patio and wiping himself. I look away and pretend to be busy in the kitchen.“What are doing? Let’s eat.” Asher called me while he’s still wiping his body.I just can’t help but stare at his body, it’s smok
18“Did you get the text too?” I asked Asher the moment I arrive at school. He’s sitting beside Blaine and Faye on the cafeteria. We don’t really have a class this morning because of some event in the school but we’re required to go for the attendance.“Yeah. What’s your plan? Do you accept it?” He ask as I sit beside him and pouted at Faye and Blaine who’s flirting this early in the morning.“I don’t know. It’s a big project and I doubt myself if I could do good.” I pouted.“What are you guys talking about?” Faye asked when she notice that we’re seriously talking. I bit my lips and told her the information that made her shook. “Oh my! This is good! You should go with it! And you won’t be alone because Asher will be there. Plus, you’re familiar with the set-up, you always go with Harry.” She pouted as she mention Harry’s name. I told her about my fight with Harry last week and up until now I haven’t talk to Harry yet and he doesn’t seem to be planning to talk or make it up for me as
19“Are you sure about this? I’m scared that her mom is going to scold us.” Blaine said.“We have to bring her home anyway. She’ll find her and I don’t want to lie to her mom.”I’m down together with Faye who’s laying her head on the table, the same as my position and I can very much clearly hear the two talking but I’m tired and I just want to stay here because my head really hurts and I’m sure my mom will blurt out when she sees me like this.“I’ll carry her. You carry your girlfriend.” I heard Asher said and the next thing I know I’m being carried. I’m holding on Asher’s neck tightly while my head is laying on his chest which I can hear the beating of his heart. We look at each other’s eyes and the next thing I knew my eyes fall and fell asleep.**“Oh, Fuck.” I hold my temple the moment I close my eyes but it widen when I saw my mom sitting in the corner of my bed with piercing eyes. She doesn’t speak but look at me. I bit my lips but the moment I try to get I feel like my puking
20“You know that Harry is an ass right? He just can’t do this to you. You two are acting like children for being so immature on how you handle your relationship.”“What I did was unacceptable too, Faye. I found comfort in another man’s embrace and he witness that. I’m at fault too.”“But if you two weren’t fighting you would’ve come to him but he was being a jackass and he didn’t care why you were sad, he just care about the part where Asher was comforting you.”“You’re just saying that because we’re friends but what will you feel when you see Blaine embracing someone else too? I bet you would be hurt and think that he’s cheating on you, and that’s Harry’s perspective.” I said that made her silent.“So, what are you planning to do? Are you just going to let your relationship with him slip? Tell me, does he really matter to you? Because right now I think he’s not important, you should be worried about the happenings of your family not him. You’re experiencing family problem and that’s
21“Mom, do we really have to do this? This is just absurd. I can’t believe this is happening.”Mom nodded and didn’t even look at me. “It’s the least we can do, Myles.”“What do you mean by that? Dad doesn’t deserve even the least mom and you know that! I hate this, don’t we have shame?”“Myles! He’s still your father and yes we’re going because he stayed for us even though we were divorce, for your sake.” She said and look at me through the mirror.I bit my lips and shook my head. “I know that mom but I don’t want to be there and act like this is okay for me because the truth is I’m hurting and going to his wedding will do more damage than good.”“I’m sorry, honey but I promise your dad and you know promises are sacred and I like to keep mine.”“Well, for dad promises aren’t sacred because the moment he chose someone else even after you got married all his promises were broken mom. I hope you realize that.” I close my eyes tight. “I’m sorry, that was out of line. I’ll be waiting in
22“Is it true?”“What’s true?”“That you were cheating and if you are tell it to me immediately.” Even if I had told Asher that I don’t believe him and that Harry wouldn’t do that to me, I still can’t help but ask him. It’s been bothering me for a while and we had a fight but that didn’t stop me from talking to him about it.“What are you talking about? I won’t do that to you. I know I was a jerk last time but I realize my mistake now. I cherish you and you’re important to me.” He said but his face looks gloomy and I’m scared because my friendship with Asher just ended and what if he’s right? Not only did I loose my boyfriend but I also lost my best friend.“Okay. Thank you for telling me.” I smiled and left him and begin to walk towards my classroom where Asher is sitting in his usual seat.When he saw that I enter the room he immediately look at me or maybe wait for me to sit on his side but I sat a few chairs from him that made some girl sit on my usual seat.I pouted and look awa
