Chapter 11 Lila's Pov

“Since when were you a jerk?” I sneered, glaring at him. He paused on my ice cream, eyes meeting mine, searching.He remained silent, almost like he could tell that I was disappointed in him and this had nothing to do with the kiss.Ethan was never like this. He was reserved and put together, he never utters words except necessary and he definitely doesn’t care so much about me that he would butt in my life like this.He doesn’t have feelings for me, that much is clear so why..why is he such a jerk to Jake?“Well? Cat bit your tongue?” I frowned.He glared, “Don’t speak to me like that.” He mumbled.I rolled my eyes, hand wrapped around my chest, “I’ll speak to you whichever way I want, just like you speak and butt into my life whichever way you want.” I snapped, my voice was more like a whisper but the expression plastered all over my face was enough to show him that I wasn’t fucking with him.Silence again.His eyes were boring into mine as if searching for something.He exhaled, “Y

Chapter 12 Lila's Pov

I knew he had this violent but I never expected that he would punch Ethan like that. My body was shaking, my hands were wet, my heart was beating faster than a speeding train.Seeing Ethan’s mouth bloody, his cheeks bruised, I shook, and fear consumed me.“Stop,” I muttered, Jake didn’t stop and Ethan didn’t fight back. “Stop!” I yelled.“Jake, stop it, get your hands off him, stop hurting him,” I yelled, my voice breaking and I didn’t realize I was crying until the tears dropped on the back of my palm.Ah fuck, this is so scary and infuriating.Ethan’s teammates held Jake back, some pulled Ethan away from him.“What the fuck is wrong with you, have you lost your mind?” One of Ethan’s teammates yelled, his eyes shooting fire as he glared at Jake, almost like he was holding himself back from punching the shit out of him.Jake panted, his eyes flickered, he looked around, dazed, like he was finally back to his senses. He looked at his bloody hands and wiped them on his shirt, he turned

Chapter 13 Lila's Pov

I found the brakes, and we were in the middle of the road. The cars around us kept honking, and the drivers kept yelling.“If you want to die, get off the road,”“Jump over the bridge or something, you losers.”“Hey, fuck off the middle of the highway!”They kept yelling, and it was obvious from the tone of their voice that they were mad as hell, but that was nothing compared to the heat and aura filling the car.Ethan is staring hard at me, fuming but I can’t even bear to look at him, so I just stayed there, pressed my face against the wheel, and mumbled, “I’m sorry.”He sighed, I heard some rumbling but I was too scared to look up. What if he kicks me out of the cab? Or hates me ever more? What if …What if he doesn’t want to talk to me ever again?“Lila?” He muffled, his voice was low, not judgmental or upset, which only sent shivers down my spine. His voice was rather calm and subtle like he wasn’t mad at all.“Hmm,” I mumbled, my face still pressed against the wheel, my heart raci

Chapter 14 Lila's Pov

“Shh…It’s me ..Jake!” He blurted, his eyes widened under the streetlight, his lips trembling, his hands still firm over my mouth. His brows arched and his throat bobbed.Jake?How did he get into the ….Why am I even asking, it’s Jake, he is capable of doing anything.But seriously, scaring me like that was out of it.I glared at him instantly, heart still beating fast.His eyes searched mine as if asking if I was not going to yell after taking his hands off. “Are we good?” He asked.I nodded.The grip over my mouth slowly loosen and he took one step back, as soon as I was free from him, I punched him hard in his belly, “Are you out of your mind? You scared the living shit out of me, what were you thinking sneaking up on me like that, you jerk!” I yelled, still trembling, shaking from the almost heart attack I had thinking I was about to be raped or murdered, or kidnapped.This is a man’s world, shit can happen.“Ack!” He groaned in pain, leaning over his belly while holding it, “Okay,

Chapter 15 Lila's Pov

“What happened? Why did you call me when you were already inside the building , did something happen? Did that guy, Jake try to harm you? Ugh, I just don’t like that guy, can’t you just stay away from him?” Ava went on and on behind me as we walked back to our room. “Jake is my boyfriend.” I grumbled, “Hitting Ethan was wrong but he is..not a bad guy.” I said. “Whatever, just be careful, I do not like this guy for you and I have heard rumors about him and they are not good news at all.” She sighed. For the rest of the night till we both fell asleep, Ava just like her brother, Ethan kept talking about how Jake was a horrible guy and being with him was a wrong choice. If everyone is saying he is bad, is that a sign that I should end whatever is going on between us? But he has been good to me though. He had protected me and unlike Ava, Mason, and Ethan, he is the only one who doesn’t treat me like a child, the only one who believes I have potential and sees me more than just Ava’s fr

Chapter 16 Lila's Pov

Stepping forward amidst the crowd, dressed in a pair of black pants that flowed down to the bottom, where he had these impressive loafers. His T-shirt sat pretty on his body, and his cargo jacket rested on his body. His lips were holding the small band that he got from the hospital yesterday. His eyes bore into mine and mine bore into his. We kept looking at each other, almost like we were dating each other to look away. What should I say? Why do I feel the need to explain to him that Jake is here to apologize and not ask me out ot something? Why do I feel like I am cheating on him by even standing in front of Jake? He is not my boyfriend, he doesn’t like me so why? Why do I always feel like this with him? Jake is here doing everything he can to not lose me and here I am looking at another man who wouldn’t dare even speak to me in public not to mention bring me flowers or my favorite chocolate I should look away, I should turn to Jake and … “Hey, man.” Jake beat me to it. Shit

Chapter 17 Lila's Pov

“Earth to Lila!” Ava’s distant voice yanked me back to reality. We were in a cab heading to Ethan’s apartment to check on him. He was fine but Ava wanted to make sure her brother wasn’t dying and hiding it. I was completely lost in thought, today was hectic. The people I didn’t know spoke to me after I returned to class and some even asked me to teach them my game. I’m guessing they meant how I managed to get Jake to bring me flowers. “Lila? Are you okay? Is this because Jake came to your class? I heard from the other students. Everyone is talking about it. They even got it on video.” Ava blurted, showing me the video. Rather than cringing, it was rather cute, and I noticed the way my lips slowly curled into a smile. It was beautiful to see someone choose me, so to see someone who would risk their reputation just to appease me. “Uhm, wipe that smug off your face, Jake is out of the question, seriously what do you even see in that guy?” She snapped, glaring at me as she slammed h

Chapter 18 Ethan's Pov

She looked so cute, watching her hold her breath, watching her eyes flicker, over and over to the point that I was so scared that her eyes might fall out. Was she always this cute? I wanted to tease her so much but I held back, “How long are you going to keep staring, Nurse Lila?” I muttered, my voice calm and put together as it should be. My hands clasped together, elbow on my thigh, eyes not leaving hers because she has one hell of a beautiful set of eyes. Her hands fidgeted, “Oh,” she gasped, her eyes flickered again “Right.” She cleared her throat and exhaled. She leaned in, her cologne filled my nostril and I had to close my eyes to figure out the notes. Oh, floral and spicy. My lips curled into an impressed smile. It suits her. Things had been awkward since that night at the welcoming party. Lila is Mason’s baby sister, my baby sister’s best friend. She is like a baby sister to me and yet I kissed the girl I was supposed to see as my sister. It’s not like I stopped seei

Chapter 19 Lila's Pov

Friends? He wants to be friends? The drive back to the dorm was filled with nothing but Ethan’s last words and smile plastered all over my mind and head. It’s the first time in a long time he smiled at me like that. Is it weird that I don’t mind being his friend if it means I’ll get to see him smile like that anytime? Maybe Ethan was right. Maybe we should stay as friends. “So, what happened between you and my brother?” Ava’s voice yanked me out of my thoughts, forcing me to spare her a glance, eyes flickering, throats bobbing. I never told her what happened between Ethan and me. Would she hate me for kissing her brother? Would she understand me if I explained how it all happened? “Nothing.” I muffled, swallowing the emptiness that got stuck behind my throat. My fingers fumbled together, I looked away from her, unable to look at her knowing fully well that I have been lying to her. “You spent a while in his room, was he trying to convince you about Jake? I begged him to try t

Chapter 20 Ethan's Pov

It’s been three weeks and all I have done is stare down at my phone. Should I text her? What should I say? Was I asking to be her friend too much? Every day, I pass through the hallway of her department at school, wanting to see her, say hello, and hear her voice to make sure she is okay, but it’s as though she is deliberately avoiding me. I walked through the hallway, just like every other day, hands in my pockets as I made it to class. And there she was, staring at something on the board. Before I could control myself, my legs moved on their own, directly to where she was. I stood behind her, looking at the information on the board. It was the result of the last exam. I traced every name on the board until I found her name sitting pretty there. She … passed. I knew she was smart, she had always been smart. She was even smarter than my sister. Suddenly my lips curled into a sweet proud smile, “You deserve some chocolate cake, want me to treat you?” I whispered against her
