Asher’s POV"Phoebe is there anything you would like to say?"Her dad asked. It seemed like he was struggling to get his words out."No."Phoebe shook her head and whispered."It's okay dear, you don't have to say anything," Her mom said and walked to her tenderly squeezing her shoulder.That was when I noticed the other guy with the scar on his jaw. He stole a quick glance at me and looked away.I managed to restrain myself from taking any silly action because I was going to deal with him later. I was broken that Phoebe still didn't look in my direction.All of a sudden, I heard someone yelling Phoebe's name from the front porch.It was Cole."Hey," he greeted everyone breathing so heavily that I thought he'd run down here."Did you know about this too?" Phoebe's dad asked.A part of me hoped he denied so I could prove to Phoebe what a terrible friend he was.But no, today was not my lucky day."Yeah I did," Cole replied and then turned to me.I purposely gave him an angry glare.Wh
Asher's POV I did not remember moving away from Phoebe's family living room last night. I found myself in a strange and smelly room. My throat felt sore from all the yelling. I sat up and tried to take in my surroundings. It was then I realized that I had slept on an old couch in the same room with my long lost friend. No wonder the room was so smelly. "I was hoping you'd die in your sleep," he said looking up from his laptop. "Yeah, good morning to you too, sweetheart," I sneered at him. He closed his laptop and stood from the bed. "It's a small world after all. We finally meet again," he said letting out a stupid laugh. I rolled my eyes and managed to stand. "How's Phoebe?" "I'm pretty sure she's perfect without you around. Now get ready, your dad's coming to pick you up." I grunted and balled my fists, trying hard to restrain myself. I was going to have to deal with him later. I left the room, closing the door with a bang and made my way to Phoebe's room. The door was
Phoebe's POV “Dear diary, I'm currently in a phase of life where I have to make a decision. It's either I choose between the devil and the deep blue sea.” “On one hand is my dad telling me to terminate the pregnancy or leave the house, on the other hand is Asher asking me to move out with him to a far away place. Away from home. I'm just so confused and upset. Why does dad have to make things so hard? I love him but I'm not listening to him on this one.” “I'm seventeen and almost an adult in a month's time. What better opportunity to exercise my adulthood than this?“ I sat on my bed jotting into my diary. Meeting Asher tonight was something else. I thought maybe he was going to come up with something better to tell me about the pregnancy, but the only option he brought was that we moved out of city. That meant a lot of things. Like living alone, getting a job and paying for a house because there was no way my dad was going to be paying for a place for Asher and I. I don't kno
Phoebe's POV Moments later. I was done packing my very important belongings into a suitcase. Someone knocked on the door. "Come in." I called. It was Diego, he walked in and stood with hands in his pocket while assessing what I had done. "Hey." He greeted. "Hi." I tried to smile. I'm sorry he had to meet the family with this going on. "Asher's downstairs." He informed me. I smiled genuinely this time. Then upon a second glance at him, I decided he needed an explanation. "Look Diego, I'm very sorry all these has to happen with you here and at this critical time but--" I was saying. "No no no," he said, cutting me off. "I totally understand. If you feel this is the best decision then it's fine by me. Trust me, I've seen worse. I'm just so sorry it has to be this way." He said soothingly and giving me that big brother smile. I smiled back. "Thank you." I said. "Now come give your big brother a goodbye hug." He said opening his arms. I was tearing up again. I walked into his
"For my girlfriend and I." I said, already getting irritated. If this were me on a normal circumstances she would have been giving me head by now, notwithstanding that this was an open place. But now, she needed to get lost. "Asher and Phoebe." I clarified with gritted teeth. Either Phoebe chose to ignore what was happening or she was oblivious to what was actually happening. The receptionist, Maya, which was the name written on her name tag went ahead and typed a few things into her keyboard. "What type of suite sir?" She asked "A single suite." I said. She typed away a few more times and then handed me the keys to our suite. "Fourth floor, seventh door to your left." She informed us eyeing Phoebe. "Thanks." I said leading Phoebe to the lift. "In case you need anything, you can call the room service the number is programmed into the landline by the bedroom bedside table." She called. "Got it Mara." I said. ........ Phoebe's POV Asher unlocked the door and we both walke
Phoebe's POV After dinner, I helped take the used dishes to the kitchen while Asher went to take a piss. I walked back into the room to call Cole but then decided against it after I saw the time. It was already past midnight and my best friend must be sleeping by now. I opted to just send him a text message instead. Hey sleepy head, I finally moved out from home. We'll talk later. :-) I sent the text to Cole just as Asher walked into the room shirtless with a towel in his hand. His rock hard abs still dripped water. I paused what I was doing and stared at him. Man sure worked out because, how else would he get such handsome features unless he was a demigod. "See what you like?" He asked with a smirk, raising one of his brows suggestively. I immediately caught myself and closed my mouth which I didn't know was open. I then pretended to be very interested in my phone. Asher continued to smile to himself. The prick knew very well how he was affecting me. Asher went to the walk
Phoebe's POV "What?" I asked puzzled. "Just how close are you two?" He asked taking a mouth watering slice of pizza to his mouth. Dude was eating without me. I rolled my eyes but ignored his question and went to take a slice of pizza. I moved to take my coffee but Asher outsmarted me. "Nah-uh. You won't be needing coffee anymore." He said wagging his brows. "At least until you've popped out the baby." Are you fucking kidding me? I groaned. Asher handed me the cup which obviously contained tea. I took it and went to sit down on the bed. He kept staring at me, hiding a smile. Probably getting off with the fact that I was being miserable. Jerk. .... Asher's POV Phoebe and I have been staying in the hotel for four days now. Today I went to add finishing touches to the new house I bought for us. It wasn't as big as your ideal place though. It had a decent kitchen that could contain two people at a time. The living room was good enough. The bedroom was the biggest room and the
Phoebe's POVI still couldn't figure out why Cole would ask for Asher's cellphone number. I knew the two were usually at loggerheads whenever they met so Cole's explanation didn't sit well with me.Who in highschool still asked for science test answers? And from your arch enemy? Besides my best friend was a very terrible liar and I knew he was lying before his voice started shaking. I only went along with the flow knowing that he would tell me when he wanted to.He was my best friend and we didn't hide things from each other. I trusted him enough not to call him out.That being said thoughts of that left me. Earlier on while Asher had been gone all day I had spoken with Mom. I assured her that I was okay and promised to call her immediately I felt anything strange in my body.I had asked about Dad and Mom had informed me that he was okay. He was somewhat pissed at her for taking sides with me.Which she didn't of course. But my father was too much of a grump to admit that Mom was on
