ASHLEY.
Now, I finally get it! This explains why he's been acting so fucking weird all day. The stares, and the refusal to look away. He knew what he was doing, and God! If I don't hate this man more than I already do.
"Mr Corey, I don't think, " I turn back to my maths teacher, only to be silenced with a raise of his hand. "He told me you were gonna refuse. " He says, and I lean back against my seat, a scoff flipping through my parted lips.
He told him that I was going to refuse? What the hell is wrong with this boy? What more does he want from me?!
"Now, I don't know what issues you've got between each other, but I suggest you settle them, Ashley. Because this is not the time to think about those, this is the time to think about the fact that someone's success lies in your hands. Someone's dream, and career.

ASHLEY."What's up with Dave?" Lucy asks as we walk to our table, and I shake my head with a sigh, dropping my tray of food, and sliding in my seat."Apparently, he needs my help with tutoring. That's the reason Mr Corey called me to his office. " I say, and she scoffs, dropping her phone."What the hell is wrong with that boy? Does he seriously think you're going to help him after what he did? Well, what was your response?" She lifts her brows, and I shrug, "Told him to go fuck himself. There's no way I'll help him, Lucy. I can barely stand the sight of him, and now to be in the same room with him for hours? No, I think I'll pass. "I shudder, opening my bottle of water, and taking a large gulp."Yes, and he won't stop staring at you, " she says, jerking her head behind me, with her shooting daggers in the direction."The tortur

ASHLEY.I shut the door behind me with a heavy sigh, resting against the doorframe with my eyes shut, and my head raised to the ceiling.I've fought many times with Lucy, but I've never seen her angry like she was today. Honestly, I understand where she's coming from. I know she's only trying to look out for me, but just like I told her; she won't understand. She doesn't know the full story about Dave so of course, she doesn't understand. And I can't tell her either.It's Dave's secret to tell. Not mine.I move slowly from the doorframe, my eyes scanning across the living room, and wondering why the hell Vincent isn't at my throat already."Vince, " I call as I stride towards the kitchen, tossing my bag pack to the couch on the eat."Vince, " I call again, and receive no response, but the echoes of my voice.&n

ASHLEY. My eyes are wide as my gaze meets with Sinclair's, and I move so fast, and almost fall off the bed. I scurry away from him, heat spreading across the cheeks at the thought he caught me. Again. Why the hell is he always walking in on me doing nasty things? Why is he even here? Isn't he supposed to be at a party with my brother? How the hell did he even get in? "Enjoying yourself, little Greene?" There's a glint in his eyes as the words slip through his lips, and I shake my head, slowly backing further away from him. "You seem like you were to me, " he chuckles, his eyes darting down to the book that lays on my mattress, and he cocks his brows as his gaze moves across the cover. "Just a little dirty. You're one nasty little thing, aren't you?" His gaze moves back to me; focused, and darkened than before, and that look crosses over his features. The look that tells me o

ASHLEY. The echoes of my heartbeats is boisterous in my ear as I stare at the man before me. He leans forward, hovering over me, with his hands placed on either side of me, and my tongue darts out unconsciously to wet my lips. Sinclair's gaze follows the movement, and he snags my lips in his; his tongue thrusting in my mouth, and intruding mine. He fights against mine for dominance, and I let out a throaty sob, wrapping my arms around his neck to pull him closer. The metal of his lip is cold against my lips, and a shiver runs down my spine from the contact; my core burning with the need for him. I groan against his lips as Sin pulls my bottom lip between his teeth, before sucking on the flesh, and in a strange way; that burns right across my body. Sinclair pulls back, staring down at me with a familiar look on h

ASHLEY. "So how was it?" I inquire Lucy as we stride down across the corridor of the school with a huge smile on my face. Lucy doesn't seem as delighted as I thought she was going to be after spending last night with Darren, and the curiosity is killing me. "Nothing like what you visualized. " She murmurs as she stops at her locker, punching the code, and pulling it open. I frown, and cross my hands against my chest, before saying, "Why? Did something happen? Did he try to do something stupid? Did you get caught up? Or he bailed on you?" The words slip through my lips, and Lucy responds with a chuckle, shaking her head as she rummages through her locker. "I would have been happy if any of that stuff happened. At least I wouldn't have to go through what I went through yesterday. " What the hell did that guy do? I swear to God I'm going to...

ASHLEY. "Are you still thinking about it?" I question Lucy who turns to me with a smile on her face, and she shakes her head as she pulls on the straps of her bag, saying, "No, he came up to me, and apologized when you took off to the restroom. He said something was going on, and he was distracted. " "Finally. Now, you'll stop being such a brooding bitch. " I tease, and she rolls her eyes at me with a laugh. "What's the deal with you, and Quinn though? She's been staring at you since forever. " She jerks her head towards a direction, and I turn in my stand to come into view with a glaring Quinn. She's leaning against the locker next to Dave's, and I smirk at her, raising my middle finger. She literally fumes where she stands, and a laugh slips through my lips as I turn back to Lucy, saying, "She confronted me at the restroom, and I fix her in her place."

ASHLEY. An alarming thought flashes through my mind— Sinclair is standing by my door. Then the second one; Sinclair is standing by my door, staring at the position I'm in with my ex-boyfriend. One he knows. And one I told him not to hurt. I push at Dave, not caring if I hurt him as I move to my stand, with a smile directed at Sinclair. "Um, hi, " I mutter awkwardly, but he isn't staring at me. His eyes are fixed on a boy behind me, who's now struggling to get up. Dave moves to stand beside me, and his eyes find Sinclair, who doesn't look so happy with the boy. With one last glance at Dave, Sinclair walks out of my room, and the first thought in my head is to go after him. But I don't do that. Instead, I turn to Dave with a scowl on my face as I say, "What the hell was that?" He shakes his

ASHLEY. "I'm heading to school. " I say to a smiling Vincent who's leaning against the counter, and he raises his attention from his phone to meet my gaze. "Hey, little nerd, " he teases, stalking towards me, and I roll my eyes before grabbing an apple from the refrigerator. "I don't have time for your jokes, Vincent. " "You know, I've been thinking you barely eat anything good. You're always munching on that Apple, and ice cream all day long. " I didn't know you observed that, asshole. "Well, with mom being busy with work, " my stomach drops as the name slips through my parted lips, with the apple hanging in the air. I hate it. I hate the fact that she's always working herself so much. She barely has time to take care of herself, not to talk of her children. "Don't you think we should try to persuade mom to stop?" I turn to Vincent with furrowed brows
