Looming danger

Aston’s POV I recognized his face from the pictures Giselle showed me. It was definitely Max. Max who was supposed to be far away from Pine Creek, from all of this mess. How the fuck did they even find him? “What did you to do to him?” Maddy screamed, lunging for Ace/skinner. I held her back, momentarily struck that she would be so protective of Max. Did I have something to worry about there? No, now’s not the time to worry about that yet. “Oh, watch out, Aston, this one’s a fighter,” Ace teases, wickedly. “Leave him alone. He has nothing to do with any of this.” “Oh, but he does! He does. I wouldn’t have found out the truth without him and now I have some leverage over both of you ‘cause I’m assuming you don’t want your friend to die, right? Both of you?” My fists curled into a tight ball. “You can’t do this.” Ace put away his phone. “You’ve been coddled for such a long time, you don’t even know how the real world works. I’m afraid you are about to learn some reall

Second act

Maddy's POV Nothing about Pine Creek feels real or safe anymore. Not the school where I stared at the teachers suspiciously, or my new home where I didn't feel safe from the grasp of Ace and the trauma of my dad's suicide. Mr. Chadwick's death was still a big shock in town. He had loomed so tall above us all that his death didn't feel real at all. His death made national news. All of a sudden, Pine Creek became the hub for all the media and conspiracy theorist nutjobs who were desperate to know how he could've died in jail. Mr. Chadwick had been stabbed to death in jail. None of the authorities could provide accurate reports as to how it happened.But we knew. Aston and I. Ace haunted our nightmares. When I slept, I could still see him welding that knife. His scarily-calm expression was the worst of it all. At least with everyone else, I knew exactly where we stood. Ace was different. He was shockingly connected. Take Mr. Lane's reassignment for instance. Mr. Lane knew the

Old flames die hard

Maddy's POV Lexi strutted into the room dressed exquisitely. Diamonds draped around her neck and wrists. A giant diamond rock glittered from her ring finger. There was a smug expression on her face like she knew we were coming. I was in awe. Because I never expected, in a million years, that she would reappear in our lives again. Aston was shocked, too. "Lexi?" he called quietly. "Well, hello guys, nice to see you again!" Lexi said. She walked over to Mason's desk, settled lightly on his lap. She looked nothing like the girl I met a year ago. She was almost bubbly. "Oh, that's right, you guys are acquainted. Isn't this amazing!?" Aston's lips were ajar. "How!?" Lexi's eyes studied Aston's face. I noticed that same expression of lust all over her face. She was sitting on her fiancé's laps, lusting over Aston again. "Aston, I was sorry to hear your wedding plans fell apart. Oh, sorry about your father too. How tragic. His death must be such a loss for Pine Creek!"

Tit for tat

Aston’s POV As soon as we stepped out of the elevator, I was pulled into a familiar world. Dense thickets of smoke curled in the air. The roaring of powerful bike engines. The screeching of tires against asphalt. The loud cheering of the crowd all felt too familiar. My blood tingled. My head pounded. I didn’t know my old self yet, but I could feel a familiar tinge of anger coursing through my veins. Riding gave me power. I felt that. The kind of power I could never feel anywhere else. I was addicted to it too. The danger. The surge of power underneath me when I sat atop my bike. The pride that came from taming my bike, maneuvering through treacherous roads, overcoming obstacles to beat other riders. I felt all of that here. “Welcome to the real world of Shadow Ryders!” Mason said, throwing his arms apart. Riders zoomed past us. Expert drivers. Nothing like the ones we had in Pine Creek. They were mostly adults with years of experience, sweeping their bikes through the

When friends become more

Maddy's POVTWO WEEKS LATER The party was booming. Cody had organized the party because Aston was busy with his college plans. Cody stood at the bartender's table taking a shot. "Ryders forever!!!!" he screamed. The rest of the party echoed his screams. I saw Giselle off to a side, huddled with Ashley. Ashley was overly drunk. Since Mr. Chadwick's death, she had been extremely upset. She grieved Mr. Chadwick alone. She was the only one close to us who actually liked the man. Giselle was grieving too but in a different way. She buried her grief in alcohol and drugs. I sat in a corner, texting Aston. In the two weeks since we met Mason, our lives had taken a different turn. Aston was busy with Mason most days, trying to learn everything he could about Viper. He came back most days full of awe. I could tell he liked Viper. Or at the very least had some form of respect for him. "Maddy, you should see the way he rides! He is so awesome!" he'd go off. I'd never seen him so utter

Selfishness and love

Maddy’s POVGiselle staggered about drunkenly but the clarity in her eyes never left. She fixed those cold eyes on the unhappy half-naked couple.She held onto the doorframe as she charged closer and closer into the room. “Tell me the truth right now, Ash…” she paused, swallowing hard.Ashley was shivering with fear. “Giselle,” she tried to whisper. Beside her, Cody looked shell-shocked.“Tell me…were you sleeping with my dad?” Giselle dropped the bomb.I swear it sounded like the entire party vanished and we were the only people left in the world.Ashley stuttered. “Giselle, it wasn’t like that!”Giselle grew colder, waving a dismissive hand in the air. “Were you sleeping with my dad?” she asked again, this time her voice was louder, banging against the wall.The volume of it startled Ashley. Her body quivered momentarily. I saw tears creeping out of her eyes. She was panicking, couldn't even think of a lie to tell. She had no choice but to admit the truth and reveal how she had betr

Ace's revenge

Aston's POV From the corner of my eyes, I saw Viper closing in on me! He was right on my tail, pushing hard. His eyebrows were knitted together furiously. Just like me, he hated to lose! I saw it in the way he gripped his bike furtively. If I could see his knuckles, I'd bet they were pale white from his gripping. I pushed ahead, staying just an inch or two ahead of him. As we turned the corner, I pressed harder. He pressed harder. The nose of his tires pushed into my lane. I felt him tight behind me. He kissed the back of my tires, angrily. Once, twice, thrice. He was working harder to knock me off."No, you're not!" I said through gritted teeth and kept my bike steady. For weeks now since I joined the races, I'd slowly worked my way to number 2 where I'd started competing against Viper. It'd been weeks of failing to beat him. Weeks of trying to earn his respect. Weeks of trying to work my way into his inner circle. Viper was strict, quiet, arrogant. I felt a pull towards him

Unfair reality

Maddy’s POVGiselle lay on the bed, tubes plugged into every crevice of her body, breathing for her. The doctors had worked hard on her all night long. Now, she was lying peacefully. She looked like a sleeping beauty.A knock came on the door. Ashley and Cody. They appeared in the room furtively, guilt written all over their faces. Ashley’s lips were quivering with fear. Her skin was pale white, especially her nails which she had been biting nervously.“How’s she doing?” Ashley asked.“She’s fine!” I replied in a crude voice. I didn’t mean to be rude to her, I was just irritated by her pretense. What did she think was going to happen when she got together with Giselle’s dad?The poor girl had been through so much already.“I didn’t mean for any of this to happen. You have to believe me,” Ashley said.I stared at her and Cody. “I’m so disappointed in both of you. You might not mean for it to happen, but it did and this is where we are now. You knew Giselle was fragile and yet you hurt

No, it can't be!

Aston's POV I pushed harder and harder, surging faster than the wind. Maddy's voice ringing in my head. She blamed me. She blamed me for all of it. For Max, for Giselle, even her father dying. She might not say it out loud but I knew she blamed me. I saw it in the way she looked at me. I couldn't stand her blaming me. I couldn't stand to bear the brunt of her hatred. I pushed myself harder and harder on the course, keeping Viper behind me. Perhaps, it was my rage but I wasn't really feeling like losing today. I pushed and pushed until I surged to victory. When I crossed the finish line, I rolled on for a while before my bike finally stopped. I didn't hear the crowd cheering me on until I yanked my helmet off. The noise that greeted me was overwhelming. I was surrounded. "He actually beat Viper!" was the chorus emanating from the crowd. Someone has finally dethroned Viper. I glanced about the crowd and didn't see Viper for a while until the crowd thinn

Leaving

Maddy's POV I was rolling Giselle out of the hospital for fresh air when the message hit. UNKNOWN NUMBER attached photo: "He misses me just as much as I missed him! True love never dies!" I stopped, freezing in time. The picture was of Lexi in bed with Aston. She looked frazzled as if they had just finished running a marathon sex. She had that arrogant look on her face like she knew this was going to hurt. Her hands were around his neck, possessively. As if Aston was the prize she had finally won! My hand trembled, the phone nearly falling out of my hand. I wasn't sure what I was feeling: a mixture of rage and humiliation. After all this time, he still went back to her. To her? Was this a mistake? "Is everything okay, Maddy!?" Giselle's voice asked. I bobbed my head. "Yeah, I'm fine!" I tried to reply without cracking my voice. I made up my mind in that moment. Right there, I knew exactly I was done with him and this town! The next day, Aston arrived at the hospital while
