Risking it Chapter Twenty
When you are in love, nothing matters to you except that person. Not even the red flags because you convince yourself it won't happen again but it will happen again and you will always end up being wrong. It happened to me as well.I knew Jayden had a temper when I told him about Zach but I convinced myself that his reaction was acceptable given the fact I hurt him but what I didn't know was that, it wasn't a one time thing.Things were pretty normal since the past week. Jayden and I have become inseperable, we were offically dating but it was not established in the media as he wanted to settle things with Mallory's dad first and it would also look bad for his reputation to jump into another realationship immediately. His words. I loved spending every single moment with him. The passion between us was fucking unreal and we were hardly able to keep our hands off each other. I stayed with him most of the nights and Beth didn't mind it as she was staying with Mason as well. As for Zac
Risking it Chapter Twenty One
By the time we reached the club, it was packed and I wondered how Anna alone was managing the bar. After our little argument with my clothes, I was pretty upset throughout the whole car ride but Jayden somehow convinced me and got me in a good mood.We made out in his car before entering the club. That's how, my inner self mocked at me.I walked inside with Jayden by my side and he had his arm around my waist in a protective manner. I looked over at the bar and found Anna and Zach handling the crowd. I noticed Anna trying to flirt with him but Zach was hardly paying her By attention. Just when I was about to look away, our eyes locked with each other and I sucked in a deep breath.Fuck!He ran his eyes all over my body and his eyes lingered for a bit longer than usual at my waist where Jayden's hand was present. It's been so long since we spoke to each other and I missed him. I could see from the way he was looking at me that he missed me as well. But the question was, did he miss me
Risking it Chapter Twenty Two
I was the first one to walk out of the booth, controlling my tears before anyone could react and I knew I couldn't go home as I had to work the next shift so I chose the only place where I would be alone in this whole building. The terrace. I was greeted by the cold wind as soon as I stepped walked inside the terrace and hugged myself with my arms, feeling cold, sad, alone and heartbroken. I walked further towards the right to find a decent spot on the concrete floor where I could sit down. I could see the entire city from where I was sitting. I always come here whenever I feel low because the view of the whole city makes me think that my problems are so small compared to it. I felt fresh tears flowing down my cheeks without my knowledge and I squeezed my eyes shut.I realised at that moment that I was more angry at myself than Jayden for being so weak, for being so ignorant of his actions and also for loving him even when he treated me like shit. I knew I deserved better and I dese

I stayed in bed for three days without showering or eating. I was just breathing, merely existing and I was out of tears from all the crying and had no more energy in my body to produce anymore tears. My phone was still switched off and I heard a few knocks on my door every now and then but I completed shut myself from the world and remained in my bedroom, trying to forget about everything that happened in the last two months.I wanted to forget meeting Jayden.I wanted to forget sleeping with him.I wanted to forget that stupid mascarede night that changed my whole life. I wanted my body to forget him and my heart to stop missing him. He might have been an asshole who treated me like shit but I did fall in love with him and knowing that he probably doesn't feel that way was so damn painful. I could feel the pain all over my body and wished there was some kind of off button. Maybe I should see my mom. She was a selfish bitch but I actually missed the warmth I received from her whe

Two Weeks Later,Nobody told me the timeline of how long it takes to fix a broken heart but I was okay. Even though, I was barely holding it all together, I took it one day at a time and it's now been two weeks since I broke up with Jayden. I quit my job and hardly spoke with anyone. Beth understood me and gave me the space I needed. Last time when she checked on me, she told me that they were no longer doing business with Jayden. She also told me one other thing that fucked me up real good. "Yes, Hazel. I've always known. Zach has been in love with you since forever and I'm honestly surprised that it took you so long to figure it out.""Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, crying my heart out to her but all she said was that Zach had made her promise not to tell me about it. I wasn't mentally prepared for any of this and I hated the fact that I broke his heart just like how Jayden broke mine and the funny thing was, I liked him and I could have given him a chance instead of Jayden. N

"No way! I thought my brother would have jumped at the chance to be with you." Beth squealed in shock and surprise as I told her everything that happened the other day with Zach. We were chilling at her house on the couch, well Mason's house technically and it felt so good to finally let it all out and ask her what she feels about this whole situation. I wasn't sure if I was ready for another relationship and even if I was, I was scared to give Zach a chance no matter how much I was attracted to him. I was scared to feel that type of pain again. "Yeah, I'm not sure what to do, Beth. Zach is so good and I can't believe he is not even trying to move on. Why would he like me? I'm a fucking mess." I groaned, covering my face between my hands and she let out a huge sigh and wrapped an arm around my shoulders, hugging me sideways."You are not a mess, Hazel. You just made a wrong choice and now you can finally see that the right one was just around the corner all this time," she explained

"Damn, I can't believe my little sister is already engaged." Zach spoke as we were riding towards my house and I nodded in agreement with him. "Yeah but they are so perfect for each other and I'm happy for them." I sighed and rested back against the seat and he turned to look at me with a small smile, playing around the corner of his lips. "How are you doing by the way?" he asked, stealing a glance at me and I looked down at my fingers, not sure how to respond to his question. "Umm...I'm definitely feeling a lot better but also a bit confused. I was also thinking about enrolling in a culinary course or something and see how it goes from there." I explained as it was the truth. I have been feeling so lost in my life and I didn't know what to do with my next as I didn't have a proper college degree and going back to bartending was not something I preferred to do anymore. "Cooking! That's interesting, Woods. Any specific reason?"I smile, trying to hide my blush as he was the one who
Risking it Chapter Twenty Seven
'I'll be there in 10.' - Zach.Fuck!I just got out of the shower and I was still blowdrying my hair. With a loud groan, I pulled out the black stain dress from my wardrobe that I usually save up for special occasions. It reached just above my knees as I wore it and it had an insane low cut in the back. It looked sexy and classy at the same time, exactly the look I was going for tonight. I know it was Beth's engagement party but it was my first date with Zach as well and I was feeling giddy with excitement like a teenager who goes on her first date with her long time crush. Zach has seen me at my best and my absolute worst but tonight I wanted to look good for him. I finished blowdrying my hair and styled it into loose curls that flowed down my waist. I wore minimal make-up and a bold red lipstick to finish my look. Just as I was strapping on my heels, I heard a knock on the front door."Come in, Zach. It's open." I yelled from my bedroom and heard the front door crack open."Please
