The bathroom door opens shaking me out of my thoughts. I bring my gaze up to Ella taking her hair out of a towel. She has loose-fitting shorts on along with one of my t-shirts.
A smile lights in my lips, she was unbelievably beautiful and she didn't even know it. I hate how other guys check her out when we go places. She's doesn't notice because she's so timid and not at all self-centered. She always puts everybody else's needs before her own.
Chapter 28Ella's POV:Declan and I walk up to Riley's house, me a couple of strides behind him. Reaching the door, Declan raises his hand and knocks thoroughly three times. We wait ab

Chapter 31Declan's POV:Julian. I want to crush his skull, I want him to suffer, I want him to drown in pain. He touched MY ELLA. He threatened her, he put his repulsive hands on her,
I stop at the door for a second and take a deep breath before seeing Wes. I play football now because tackling is a good way to let it all out. I don't play for him, never for him. Pleasing Julian was never in my best interest, but for Hayes it was.
