Today is Sunday and all I've really done is eat a pint of ice cream in my pajamas, in the hopes of forgetting everything that happened last night.But the truth is, last night is all that has been on my mind ever since I walked away from Zack. And the guilt has been eating me up.It's one thing to sleep with your best friend's enemy, but to throw it in the person's face, in Zack's face makes me feel like the most horrible person alive.I know I can't justify what I did, and I'm not even pissed that he lied to me about staying in a motel, but he pushed me too far. I blink back tears as I remember the way she looked at him, and the way he looked at her.He wanted her.And it still hurt that when the going got tough, he ran to her.She was his first choice. He ran to her to get away from me."Oh, come on, Aubrey. You need to get out." Erika says for the tenth time, pulling on my hand. 

"Bye, mom!" I yell behind me as I exit the house, hurrying towards Zack's car."Sorry I'm late, babe, but someone didn't want to let me wake up and kept on saying 'ten more minutes.'" I mimick in my best deep voice, fixing him with a glare.Zack just keeps on staring at me with a funny expression on his face."What? Is there spinach in my teeth?"I didn't have spinach this morning, but whatever."Babe?" He says, smirking, and my eyes widen when I realise that I called him "babe"."That's not the point of..." My statement is cut short when Zack leans over the console and pulls me to him, our lips colliding.I moan when his cold, minty tongue traces the seam of my lips. Okay, I might be willing to let it slide."You know we're gonna be late for school, right?" I whisper."Don't care." He mutters between kisses."And that my mom's most pro

I moan as light filters into my vague dream, making it impossible to remain asleep. It's Saturday and I was supposed to be sleeping in.Fucking light.The warmth of the hard surface under my cheek is so comforting, I don't think I ever want to stand up from this bed.I raise my head to look at the masterpiece I'm lying on.I'm pretty sure I slept alone last night, so he must've come this morning or something. He'd gone to check on Audrey Miller. Again. Her parents still aren't back from their work.To be honest, I'm still terrified that something will eventually happen between them. It's not that I don't trust Zack, I trust him with my entire being, I just don't trust her.She's unstable, and she could blackmail Zack into getting what she wants, and let's face it. Zack's a guy.This is the longest he's ever gone without having sex. He's being patient with me, but I have this gut feeling that he's g

I ignore yet another call from my dad, switching my phone off and flinging it behind me on the bed."You okay?" Zack asks me. I turn in the chair to face him. He's lying on his bed in only black sweatpants, arms folded behind his head.Yes. His bed.Zack is my math tutor, has been since we started highschool and he figured out how horrible I was at math.I'm currently seated at his study corner, well, he'd brought the study corner to me, so I'm seated in a chair directly beside the bed, books in front of me on the table.He'd given me a problem to solve, and to be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing."Yeah." I reply, smiling at him.He rolls his eyes. "Will you stop with the fake smiles already? It's starting to annoy me." He sits up so he's sitting right in front of me, looking at me intensely."It's better than not smiling at all." I shrug.Zack reaches out to tuck my hai

"You okay, babe?" Zack asks me.I wedge the phone between my ear and my shoulder so I can lace up my sneakers."Honestly," I sigh, "I don't know how I feel about this dinner."It's Thanksgiving tonight and my mom and I are going over to Alex's for dinner.I still haven't spoken to her, and if at all I do, we just end up fighting again. It's tiring, and I hate it, but I'm still upset with her. And I don't want to listen to her explanation. There's nothing to explain because I already understand it all. "It'll be okay. I'm sure you look hot."I laugh. "I don't need to dress hot for Thanksgiving, you pervert. And it's not even that." Zack heaves a sigh. "Still not speaking?""No." I mutter."You can't keep this up forever, you know that, right? She's not just your mum, Aubrey, she's your best friend." His tone drops. "She's been there for you." "Only beca
