Chapter 141: You Can Pay Me Back

Something felt different. When Addison stretched in bed, she felt like she was finally feeling normal again. Maybe this time things wouldn't be as bad for her. Maybe she wouldn't be run down and sick for weeks. She was hoping that would be the case. Testing her limbs again, she stretched them out once more. They were a little stiff, but not too bad. She was yawning loudly when her hand smacked something. Sitting up she turned and found Bryce sound asleep in the desk chair by her bed.Bryce. She vaguely remembered him coming by, but she thought she'd told him to go. Of course, he didn't listen. Why he felt the need to sleep in a chair all night was beyond her.Her bladder screamed at her, so she made her way to the bathroom, and when she was finished in there, she brushed her teeth. Taking in the state of her room, she cringed. It looked horrible. She needed to get it picked up, but she just didn't have the energy to do it. Her eyes landed on the chair Bryce was in. He w

Chapter 142: I Wasn't Born Yesterday

Bryce walked to class on Friday, not expecting to see Addison, but there she was. She hadn't gone inside yet, and that wasn't good. She didn't need to be out in the cold. She needed to get her ass inside. He was about to make his way over there and tell her just that, but he noticed she wasn't alone. She was talking with Dean. The preppy douche had shown up to her place the day before, and he was worried that he was going to get the boot, but then he'd just left. He still wasn't sure where he stood with Addison. He had meant what he said before. She was so confusing, and he didn't get her. She was going to have to spell out whatever it was she wanted with him because he couldn't read her mind. And it looked like right now, she was cozy with Dean again. Fuck this.Making his way into the hall, he took his usual seat and got all his stuff ready to go. He was bent over getting the last of his stuff from his bag when someone sat next to him. Annoyed that someone would decide

Chapter 143: It's A Date

Addison's heart was beating out of her chest as she walked up to the library. She wasn't moving all that fast but knowing she was going to see Bryce was doing crazy things to her. For the first time since she'd met him, she knew what she wanted. Now she just had to hope he was on the same page.Making her way inside, she finally found him. He was sitting in the back with a bunch of books spread on the table around him. She never would have guessed that this guy would have a serious bone in his body and could actually do work. He had surprised her when he'd done their whole paper himself. She thought she was going to have to carry him on this project, but it turned out, he was carrying her. And if she had to guess, they were going to do all right on it too."Hey," she said as she took a seat next to him. "I thought I was on time. Sorry."He looked at his phone and then smiled up at her, "You are. Only by a minute. I had a couple things I needed to do so I came a little early

Chapter 144: Fuck The List

Addison looked around the open space, her nerves getting the best of her. She only had this one thing left to do, and then that stupid list would be complete. It had been over a month since she kissed Bryce that first time. They'd been spending a lot of time together since then, and she loved every minute of it. The first week they'd been a couple he'd pulled out all the stops, taken her out to dinner, and wowed her. Later he admitted he felt like he needed to prove himself still. Addison had hated the look on his face when he'd finally admitted that, so she set up a date for them to go back to the place he'd taken her to ride the bull. She loved doing silly things like that with him. It was what made her give him a chance in the first place.A week ago, while they were out, Bryce had brought up the stupid list again. He hadn't let her off the hook for the library, so a few days ago they'd gone back and they'd spent an hour in the racks laughing and kissing. A whole lot of k

Chapter 146: That's Why I Love You

Hailey stepped out of the Metro station at the airport, and into the waiting arms of her best friend. "I can't believe you're actually here.""Where else would I be?" Payton asked as both of them held on for dear life."Where's the rugrat?" Hailey asked looking around for Sophia."Dave took some time and has her at the house while Josh is at school. Everyone thought it'd be easier if she stayed home.""Sucks for me, but probably true."Slinging an arm around her, Payton said, "You'll just have to come see us. Now that Jax has moved in with Em, there's plenty of room."In the year and a half that Hailey had lived in DC, she'd only been to visit Payton once, and that was for her wedding. She had loved seeing her friend finally get married, but being there, seeing Wes, just reminded her of everything she'd given up. All afternoon the girls laughed and talked about anything but the giant elephant in the room. All Hailey wanted was to feel normal, and she was grasping for as much tim

Chapter 147: Not My Story

Wes pulled up in the drive to his college roommate's house and shut off the truck. He had been at a conference for work, and Josh had talked him into stopping by on his way home. No skin off his back since he jumped at the chance to give the guy a hard time and hang out with some of his favorite people. He even swung through a grocery store before he showed up and picked up a box of donuts just to mess with the guy.Smiling just thinking about the reaction he was going to get, Wes grabbed the box and headed toward the door. When he rang the bell, he heard the little girl shriek, and he smiled. He loved that little girl something fierce. Of course, Wes knew everyone did. No one could meet Sophia and not love her.The door opened, and Wes was standing face to face with the unexpected. It wasn't totally uncommon for Payton's father to be hanging around. Payton had found her absent father after her mother had died, and the two had been trying to build a relationship since. It had

Chapter 148: You've Been Avoiding Me

"Fuck it," Wes said under his breath as he picked up his phone. The conversation he'd had with Josh had been haunting him the past week, and it was driving him crazy. If there was something wrong with Hailey, he needed to make sure she was okay. He needed her to know that he was there. That's what he was telling himself anyway.As the phone rang and rang and rang, he thought he was going to get off easy. This worked out better for him. He could just leave a message and leave the ball in her court. When the phone connected, he was only half paying attention since he knew he'd be waiting for her voicemail greeting."Hello? You haven't turned into one of those creepy men who calls and just breathes into the phone have you, Wes?"Hearing his name got his attention, "Huh? What?""I said, you aren't just calling to breathe into the phone like a creeper are you?""Oh, no. When you hadn't picked up, I thought I was getting your voicemail.""Well, you didn't.""No, I didn't." This wa

Chapter 149: What If Everything's Changed

"I mean really, Payton, you can't use that one. You're not even a man." Hailey was laughing at her best friend's song title, "When I Was Your Man." They'd been playing this game since Payton had left. They'd try and slip in a song title in their regular conversation and see if they could keep the conversation flowing. "Okay, you win. I'm just not coming up with anything tonight," Payton told her. "My memory has been crap recently, and my head has been hurting like someone threw a grenade in my skull.""Ah, see that one works.""Yes! I got one.""Did you say that just to get a point?" Hailey asked."No, it's all true. I'm not sure what's going on, but yeah..." she trailed off."I'm sorry. I know whatever you'd been doing seemed to work a little. Did it stop working?""No.""Okay?""It's just that you can't do all that when you're pregnant."Hailey sat up straight, the headphones she had in almost coming out. "Holy mother of god woman. Are you shitting me?" And now she fel

Chapter 150: A Girl Can Dream

Stepping out his front door, Wes pulled out his gloves and hat and reached down for his puppy. He hadn't been outside more than a minute, and he was already freezing his ass off. He hated winter in Kansas; more specifically winters where the wind chills were so cold, they'd freeze your face off. Thankful for the automatic start, Wes slid into the warm interior of his truck sighing as the heat washed over him.His mind was in a million places these days. He'd been talking to Hailey when she'd pick up her phone, and he was frustrated when she wouldn't. There was definitely something going on. What he was asking himself was if he was ready to go balls to the wall and push himself into her life, or should he just step back and let it go. That little part of his brain that tingled when he needed to do something was going off like crazy, but every time she shut him out, hung up on him, or just became cold had his confidence in the toilet.Pulling out of his drive, he headed toward the
