"God, I wish I was you right now." Angie says joining me in my lab.I smile looking at her, silently wishing I wasn't myself right now."Why aren't you as excited as I am for you?" She asks sitting down."I'm excited." I say lying."No you're not. Alexis you should be proud of yourself, your billion dollar stem cell research works!" Angie says. Technically the 3 stages of the trial has worked so far, we have a success rate of 98%. Well nothing is a complete 100% in science but that’s beside the point, the research I’ve slaved away doing all my adult life works and I should be happy, excited and celebrating but other things have been on my mind."Oh my God, you're going to be a billionaire!" She exclaims jumping up.I just smile watching Angie, because honestly I wasn't thinking about that right now but only what comes after in my life."Alexis what's wrong?"

Mason's POV Alexis left a month ago and I feel absolutely shitty about everything. It's totally my fault, can't even pretend that it isn't. She told me she had feelings for me and I freaked out and didn't say the right thing even though I knew how I felt for her but it's over now. And by the way she hates me now, I didn't say goodbye before she left. I called and texted her since she left but she hasn't returned any of my calls or texts and that's fine because I know I hurt her but nothing feels thesame without her. "This guy has been pissy all month, so I figured drinking may cheer him up." Nick says to Luke who just joined us at a bar I was forcefully dragged to. "I'm not pissy." I was beyond pissy. "If you pout any more, we're going to have to take drastic measures." Nick says again. I didn't even bother responding. Instead, I held up my middle finger and focus on drinking maybe it would give me something to take my mind off of how badly I'd screwed up. Nick and Luke had bee

Chapter 30
Alexis's POV Down the hall, standing by the door to my bedroom, was Mason. For the smallest fraction of a second, less time than it took to inhale a full breath of air, I got excited. I didn't care if he was there to tell me why Luke wasn't the perfect guy for me or lecture me about Luke. He was standing at my door, and that was everything. But then I remembered that I was mad at him, and the thrill faded. Mason has been but an emotional roller coaster for me. With a solemn expression and my eyes forward, I strutted toward my bedroom. Even as I refused to look at him, though, I saw him. On the surface, he looked composed and put together like he always did, but there was something today, he looks frazzled today. "That didn't take long," Mason said when I stopped at my door. So he thought I'd slipped away to sleep with Luke. I stepped into my room and he followed me in. He closed the door with his foot and trailed behind me. "Are you going to tell me anything?" he asked while
