♡ Mia's pov ♡
"Gabriel brought his new truck to school today dad. Can I bring mine tomorrow? Please?" Austin asked, basically acting like his butt was itching with the way he couldn't stay still on the chair.
Mom looks over at him as she places the barbequed wings on the table. " Why do you want to bring your truck to school Austin?"
Austin squirms under mom's unwavering gaze. "Because I want to show it to him?"
I rolled my eyes, picking at the mashed potatoes on the plate before me. I had lost my appetite which was strange. I didn't know why though. Mash potatoes were so good. But tonight even though the appetizing smell taunted me, I just couldn't eat it.

♡ Mia's pov ♡"I'm sorry about last night. I know I've been pushing you too much to bond with Kade. It's just that, he's your age you know? If anyone could get through him, I just thought-Mom stops and hurls in a tired breath before letting it out.I looked at her, really looked at her. She seems tired and disheartened. " I just want to get through to him. But I everytime I speak to him, it seems like he hates me more. Even your dad's having trouble getting through him. " Mom admits."I think you're doing a good job mom. Just don't give up, you'll get through him one day. And for what it's worth, I don't think he hates you," I whispered and ch

♡ Mia's pov ♡" Okay, so you're saying Brian Gomez invited you to his famous bonfire? And you're having second thoughts? Girl, do you know how many kids would kill to go there?" Colby exaggerated as he turned around to face me.It was lunch time and I was starving.I shrugged, my belly knotting in nerves. Why did I agree to go? I've never partied before. I didn't even know what to expect from a party."You're finally getting noticed by your forever crush! That calls room for celebration, we should definitely go!" Colby whistles." I don't know, I agreed because Kade said yes. I don't know what I was

♡ Mia's pov ♡" Brianna seems nice," I tried to make conversation as I darted my eyes to the rearview mirror to take a peek at Kade.He seems to be lost and tired. Had he not been sleeping properly?For a second I felt bad that he was mourning his mom's death alone. If only he would let me in.As bad as I am at consoling. Maybe, it would've counted if I just held him, hugged him. That always seems to work. For Kade though, I wasn't so sure it would've only ended with just a hug.Hearing my voice, Kade's eyes sweep over to connect

♡ Mia's pov ♡"Okay so I was thinking this one," I brought the cute flowing dress in front of my figure so Colby could see it.Colby scrunched his nose shaking his head. "That looks like a dress that screams, I'm about to head to a funeral to bury my goat,"I wince, looking down at the dress. It didn't look that bad. Yes, it was black and a little bit plain, but it looked comfortable. Probably two sizes bigger than me by the looks of it.I scrunch my brows as I fixed my gaze on the dress.Is this the dress grandma Marlie bought for me last year? Did I look that fat for her to buy a dress

♡ Mia's pov ♡I had that stupid giddy smile on my face the entire ride to Colby's. Kade had finally said my name. That counted for something right? He wasn't so cold anymore.My eyes draw to Colby's house. When will he emerge out?I tugged at the ends of the dress again for what felt like the twentieth time. Even with Kade's blatant warning ringing in my head, I still chose to wear the dress. It gave me a reaction from Kade, one I had been wanting from the moment he got here.Call me stupid, but I wanted to see how much more reaction I can get from him tonight. This felt like a fun game that I would hopefully win.

~ Kade's pov ~"Have a good time tonight Kade!" I heard Mrs. Cross yell from somewhere in the living room.I only managed a grunt as I closed the door behind me.I was well aware that she was trying to help me. But where was she when my mom was struggling? Where was she when mom cried out for her? Where the hell was she when I saw my mother's lifeless body littered with tiny injection scars that looked raw?Where the hell was she?She was like everyone else. They don't care about me. A couple more months until I'm eighteen and I'll be out of her hair.

♡ Mia's pov ♡ I looked at Brianna nervously when Kade suddenly rise to his feet and walks over to us. But before he could reach us, an arm so heavy and cologne so strong weighs on my shoulder and senses. I didn't like the scent of his cologne. Brian tugs me away from his sister. " My turn to hog her Brianna," Brian joked. I found my eyes steering to where Kade was, only to now stare into his eyes more closely. The blue penetrating me. He glares down at me, then the arm slung over my shoulder. " I told you to not wear that dress Mia," "Ooh protective brother mode," Brian laughs, squeezing me closer to him. My brows furrowed at Brian's words, but Kade only seemed to grow more irritated. Ignoring Brian, Kade grumbles, looking over at Brianna. " Do you have any sweatpants that will fit her- Anger and humiliation grew within me. He was making this a huge issue. It was just a dress for God's

♡ Mia's pov ♡I've heard horror stories of party games going wrong, very wrong. One minute you're clothed, the next your bare ass cheeks are on full display for everyone to see.Yeah, I don't want to be a part of that."Come on Mia," Colby whined, fingers circling around my arm to tug me over to the half-drunken and wasted teens. " Don't be a bore." He whines, eyes pleading as I pushed my heels into the sand to somehow stop his tugging.I shook my head, peeking over his shoulder to the teens seated on the log ready to play whatever this drinking game was. I didn't know any drinking games and didn't want to find out what it was either."I hate games,
