Chapter Twelve Cole I woke up earlier than usual. Okay let's just say that instead of saying how pathetic my night went because of my continuous obsession over Ivy's lips. And as I spent most of the night figuring out how to be at two places at once, I had had a little sleep nevertheless. There was a football game and I was supposed to meet Brad, John and Chris and watch it together; we planned this get-together-game way before time for me to cancel at the last minute. Brad dragged me yesterday into buying the tickets and he was probably going to drag me there as well, if I came to think about cancelling.What bothered me even more was that the painting contest in which Ivy was participating was also taking place today .And there was no way I could be at two different places at the same time. Unless I had, something figured outSo I got up, took a quick shower, put on some clean cloth

Chapter fourteen Ivy  A few days later, Beating music, free beer, lots of people, and couples kissing and making out in the corners. Well, that’s what we commonly call a party.  Do you want to know what I call it?CROWD; Yes merely a bunch of a noisy individuals.  I know you guessed I hated people assemblies. they would describe me as a loner I  know but  I just hated when there were too many people in the same room  trespassing my much needed personal space . If that could be a couple of miles I wouldn't mind.Back to the party... The one NCU held yearly after the finals. It was a thing .Each year there's a class that takes care of the preps and this year, it was mine.Although we could bring family, it was majorly a teenage party and we could invite friends. 

Chapter Sixteen   Ivy  I rushed out of the party hardly able to breathe from the lump forming in my throat and the ache in my chest. I felt my heart pressed in its ribcage as the images came back to me.As soon as I set foot out of the stadium Cole grabbed my hand again and swung me to face him. His grip was hard to escape though his hand did not hurt me.  I tried to make him let go of me by pulling my hand but to no end. He was stronger than I was and the muscular biceps and forearms he had were hard rock from training while I felt like a feather if compared to him. He brought his other hand to my cheek and I froze. The tears I was holding back before found their way out in a stream on my cheek, now that the night breeze brushed on my face I could feel them trickling. I tried to hold them back but it was useless. “Are

 Chapter Eighteen Ivy  After finding Anna's phone, I went back to take some rest without saying much about last night. Cole called me non-stop the entire day but I never answered and when I arrived at my room, I found more missed calls from him. I looked at my phone bitterly and threw it on the bed. I did not want to deal with him right now. Especially after seeing him kissing his exIf it wasn’t because of them, I wasn't probably going to drown myself in alcohol and wake up sick this morning. If it weren’t because of him I wouldn't be feeling like crap right now.  I held back a groan.  I stripped off my clothes and changed into an oversized tee shirt that fell over my left shoulder. It was long enough to cover my hips and it felt comfortable to sleep in since it was practically summer time.  I heard a small knock on the d

Chapter Twenty  Cole "No!""You're an idiot! You should have slept with her" Brad shook his head in disapproval;  I was taken aback.  "Wow, what is wrong with you?"  "No, what is wrong with you?" He seemed convinced that something was wrong with me"She's practically like your little sister; Jeez! I shook my head in disbelief""Yeah and you have a crush on her and If you slept with her you wouldn't be here drinking” was his platonic answer"Remind again me why I am friends with you?" I let out"Because I'm awesome, Now shut up and tell me why you didn't sleep with her, man she's hot you like her and she likes you "  He went on, almost as if debating over the color of my favorite tee-shirt."You're unbelievable!" I shook my head. That was the last thing I expected Brad to say. He says stupid stuff sometimes; but
