Izariah-“What are the three favors?” I asked.My shoulders slumped as I accepted defeat. I didn’t know what kind of favors he had in mind, but I knew I wasn’t going to like them. I couldn’t seem to figure him out, no matter how hard I tried.“First. For the rest of the time, we are here, you are my girlfriend. This means that I get to pay for everything, and you can’t complain. Also, if I want to hold your hand, you will let me. You will play the role of my girlfriend.”I knew I wasn’t going to like it, but it didn’t sound terrible. “Fine. What are the other two favors?”“I never said that I was going to collect all three favors in one day.” He flashed me a smile that for the oddest reason, made me weak in the knees.Inwardly I groaned because I hated not knowing what he was going to ask of me. There wasn’t much I could do about it, since he seemed set on holding the other two favors. True to his words, he grabbed my hand and led me away from the game.Hand in hand, we walked through

Izariah-Friday morning wasn’t any better, but at least it was the weekend. I just had to make it through my classes today. That was easier said than done because all I could do was think about what happened with Braxton. When lunchtime rolled around, I was sitting with Millie in the cafeteria, but I was spacing out.“Izariah!” Millie yelled, bringing my attention to her.“Yes?”“Is everything okay? You haven’t been acting your usual self since you came to the room last night. Did something happen?” She looked genuinely concerned.We have become the best of friends, although we haven’t spent a lot of time together. I have been attending this school for nearly two weeks and it feels like I haven’t been able to catch a break. Thinking she could help with my issue; I gave her the scoop on everything that has happened since meeting Braxton and his friends.“That is a lot. I can’t say I know any of them personally, but I don’t think Braxton is right for you. He is so hot and cold with you

Izariah-Racking my brain, I tried to remember what happened last night. After telling the girls at the party a bit about my life and how I met Braxton, I couldn't remember much after that. Flashes of the girls talking and laughing and me accepting another drink from Jennifer was all I was getting in my head.The more I thought about it, the more my head felt as if it were going to explode. Looking at my phone, I started scrolling through it to see if I had some sort of clue on my phone. It was weird because almost everything had been deleted. I vaguely remember getting a text from Braxton last night but for whatever reason, our chat logs weren't there.Scratching my head, I kept searching for anything that might help. The more I looked, I noticed a lot more was deleted from my phone. I don't even have a single picture. That bothered me because I had taken a few photos of Braxton and me at the amusement park and when we were on the island.It was like every trace of Braxton had been d

Braxton- “Could it be possible that she was set up?” Sebastian asked once we were all gathered in front of the fireplace, in the living room. “You saw them. The photos were very convincing.” I argued, wishing the matter could just be dropped. “We also know better than anyone that a photo can be deceiving as well.” Lex put his two-cents in. “Whose side are you on? Why don’t you both leave.” I yelled and stormed off. Going to my room, I threw myself face-first on my bed. Letting out a frustrated yell, I rolled over and took my phone out of my pocket. I wasn’t looking for anything, but when I saw I had a notification on my phone regarding the security cameras, I opened the app. It was a camera on my front porch. I was about to skip the feed when I noticed a laptop on the ground. I didn’t get a chance to read the letters on the screen, because Sebastian and Lex chose that moment to walk outside. Sebastian bent over to pick up the laptop and something else on the ground next to it.

Braxton- “Calm down, we still don’t know much about what happened, but she left her laptop and phone outside your house. Lex and I have been working on it and it is apparent that both have been tampered with. We are working on retrieving the deleted items, but it will take a while.” Sebastian spoke. “We need to find her. Something feels off right now. I shouldn’t have been so short-sighted.” “I will give Jace a call…” Lex said, but I quickly interrupted him. “No. Leave him out of this.” I knew that if we involved him, he would once again be in the middle of things between Izariah and me. If I had any chance of correcting my mistake, I needed him to stay out of it. There was too much going on right now and I was just figuring out what I felt for her. This ordeal was a setback for us, but I wasn’t ready to give up yet. If I had to drive around all night, I was going to until I found her. I needed her to understand that I was upset but I was going to stick by her until the end. If

Braxton- “How is she doing?” Lex asked when I opened the door for them a few hours later. “Still sick, but I think she will be fine. She is asleep right now. Did you find anything out?” I directed my question at Sebastian, who had brought Izariah’s phone and laptop with him. He didn’t answer until we were sitting in the room I used as a study. I didn’t want everyone to know what was going on, which is why I chose one of the few rooms that were one hundred percent soundproof. “I did contact the guy in the photo, and he will arrive any minute. As far as everything on the laptop and phone goes, I managed to get everything back the way it was. The pictures were taken with her phone and the article was uploaded onto her laptop. When I traced the IP address on the article to see when and where it was uploaded, it was early Sunday morning.” Sebastian explained and then opened the laptop to show me what he was talking about. “In other words, we are at a dead end?” I asked, feeling frustr

Izariah-I wasn’t sure what he was trying to ask at the moment, because my head was a little foggy. It took me a second to realize that he was practically naked in the same bed as me. At the time it hadn’t bothered me because I had been sick, and I was happy that he wasn’t turning away from me any longer.A blush crept up my neck, to my cheeks, causing them to feel warm. Looking at him now, I saw him in a new light. It was kind of like the way I used to look at Jace, but this was different. When had I started looking at Braxton as if he were someone, I could see a future with?It must be from being sick, why else would I be interested in someone who has done nothing but caused me problems? Okay, so perhaps it wasn’t all bad. We have had times when we got along great. After I got out of the hospital and at the amusement park.Was it possible that I was the one who was causing issues where there weren’t any? Perhaps I was thinking too much. I already knew that I had the wrong impression

Izariah-If it weren’t for the urge to use the restroom, I would have laid in bed and watched Braxton sleep. Careful not to wake him, I slipped out of bed and tiptoed to the bathroom. One look at my reflection and I cringed.Lifting my left arm, I turned my head a little so I could sniff my armpit. I regretted it immediately. Even though I didn’t want to wake Braxton up, I also didn’t want to get near him smelling the way I did. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either.Before using the bathroom, I turned on the water to warm it up. I decided to take a bath instead of a shower, that way I could limit the noise I was making. Once I had the tub set up to fill it up, I used the toilet.I didn’t flush it when I was done, since I didn’t want to mess with the temperature of the water that was filling the tub. While I waited, I looked around the bathroom to see if there was anything I could use to get clean, instead of smelling like a guy. I didn’t find anything, so I took the soap out of t

Izariah-I moved forward to stop Braxton from punching Jace again, but Jace held up his hand to stop me. When Braxton landed another blow to Jace’s face, I winced. Looking at Jace, I could see the blood running down his face, from his nose.“Is that all you got?” Jace mocked as if he was enjoying this.He was smiling and I saw blood covering his teeth. What the heck was wrong with these guys? I wanted to stop Braxton or say something to get him to stop, but every time I opened my mouth to say something Jace just glanced at me and shook his head.“You know damn well I like her, and you just have to come in and ruin everything. You have everything that you could want, so why must you have her too? Isn’t Rachel enough for you?” Braxton sounded extremely pissed by the way he was screaming at Jace. I could even see the veins in his neck protruding.“If you think she is easily swayed by me, then you never had her and you never will.” Jace chuckled as he lifted his chin to prepare for anothe

Izariah-Over the next week and a half, Braxton and I spent a lot of time together. Well, not a lot but more than we used to. He would walk me to and from class, eat lunch with me and he would drive me to and from work.At first, we had a difficult time getting over the awkwardness between us, but by the third day, we were talking like we were really friends. I learned a lot about him during that time. I tried getting him to talk to me about his past and his family, but he would clam up every time I brought it up.I found out he had twenty-seven cars, which I mentioned was too many for a single person to have. That didn’t include the five motorcycles, three boats, and one helicopter. Then there were the ones his family owned that he had access to.The more I got to know him, the less I felt as if I could ever fit in his world. I did realize that I really did like him, possibly even love him, but I felt like it was more infatuation than anything. Since I admitted to liking him, he has
