"Liv, I don't want you to hang out with that boy anymore." My mom said angrily and my eyes widened. "He wasn't even decent enough to walk you to the front door, yet he was ready to make out with you in his car." My mom said and I looked at her in disbelief. "We wanted to be in the car and you didn't give him the chance to walk me to the front door-" I started but I was cut off by Uncle Ian. "Look how she's defending him. I agree with your mom, Liv. This boy can't be trusted." He said and I glared at him in anger. "Right? Because you're all team Cole. You don't even know Storm and you're judging him. That's really messed up." I said before leaving the kitchen. "Liv!" I heard my mom call after me but I ignored her before running upstairs. I closed my bedroom door behind me before slumping onto my bed. My phone made a ping sound so I took it out of my bag. I saw that I received a message from Storm and smiled instantly, I opened the message before reading it. Van Gogh or Monet?

I watched Storm as he took the last bite of his BLT. He's so hot. Storm got up from his chair before going over to the empty canvas across the room, he sat down on the chair behind it before looking at me in anticipation and I sighed nervously before getting up from my chair. I sat down across from Storm and I watched him taking his brush out. He started gently stroking his paint brush across the canvas while briefly glancing up at me. "You're probably wondering who the girl is that Cole and I were talking about the other night." Storm said and I shook my head. "You don't have to tell me if you're not ready." I told him and he nodded. "I'll never be ready but I have to tell you." He said before dipping his paint brush into some paint. "Her name was Mia and she was my girlfriend at the time. We were in our sophomore year. One night we were out with our friends at an abandoned house and we ended up playing truth or dare." Storm said before sitting back in his chair. "One of our

I sat on Storm’s lap before greeting Griff and Tyler. “So, I take it that the date went well,” Griff said and I smiled. “It did,” I said before looking at Storm and he smiled at me. “How are you feeling?” He asked me in concern, and I shrugged before sighing deeply. “Better now that I’m with you guys,” I said Griff pinched my cheek, and I hissed in pain. “Sorry, did I hurt you?” Griff asked in concern, and I lightly shook my head before laughing it off. “Got you,” I told him and he looked at me in disbelief. “So not funny, bro.” He told me and I smiled softly. My cheek doesn’t hurt that bad only when someone touches it. I can’t believe my mom hit me. And this morning she didn’t show any remorse for what she did, instead, she tried to gaslight me into thinking that Storm puts my life in danger. It’s like I don’t know who she is anymore. Why is she so against me and Storm dating? Talking about Storm I still need to find a way to tell him that I saw his dad with another woman.

I walked downstairs and a smile rested on my face as I remembered how drunk Cole and I got last night when we were done watching Harry Potter. I haven't had that much fun with Cole in so long. We didn't kiss or hook up, we just finished an entire bottle of 818 tequila together. We got shit faced and it was the funniest thing ever. I smiled when I saw Cole standing by the kitchen island and he shook his head at me as his back rested against the counter top. "How are you smiling right now, my head is killing me." He said and I shrugged. "I drank a tomato smoothie earlier." I told him and he frowned at me. "I made some for you too." I said and he smiled softly. "Thank you." He said before grabbing the tomato smoothie I made for him from the refrigerator. "My dad and your mom are out of town again. For the week." Cole said and I frowned lightly. "Wow, they didn't even say goodbye." I said in disbelief. "At least they left us a note." Cole said sarcastically before holding a

I looked around the packed gym and smiled broadly before I showed the girls in front of me one of my freestyles, which is easy to learn but sassy enough to make it look extremely hard. I went slow at first and without the music and the second time I showed them the dance with the music. "Alright girls, you have thirty minutes to practise this dance. After that we're choosing fifteen of you and the rest will be eliminated. The fifteen people that remain will have to do freestyles and we'll pick the best nine out of you guys, the rest of you will have to go home. So, let's find my nine dancers." I said with a smile on my face and they applauded me. I saw a guy in the crowd and I frowned lightly before calling him over and he came jogging up to me. "Are you auditioning?" I asked him and he nodded at me. "Yeah I'm stoked." He told me and I smiled at him. "Well in that case I'll be keeping an eye on you." I told him and he seemed nervous. "I knew I'd stick out like a sore thum
