One Week Later
Ever since I saw those pictures of Cole with that blonde girl. I have decided that when I get to Boston I am going to find Cole and make him jealous.He needs to know who and what he's missing. I mean I'm not just some girl- or one of his exes that he can just forget about. I'm his Liv, and I won't let him move on so easily.Bri hugged me from behind as I was still busy packing my bags."Liv you need to be such a slut this weekend. Make him so mad." She told me before she pulled back from me. She plopped onto my bed and I nodded at her."You're right, Pookie," I told her and she nodded at me."And don't fold, okay? You need to be strong, I know he's hot but that's not gonna cut it this time." Bri told me and I nodded at her."I wish you were coming with me. You keep me grounded." I told her."I'm going on a family vacation this weekend, remember? My mom has beI pulled back from Cole and stared deeply into his eyes. He slowly removed his hands from the wall behind me while making eye contact with me. "Cole!" We heard someone calling so we both looked over at the door and found the blonde girl from earlier standing in the doorway. "Come dance with me." She told Cole and he clenched his jaw before he silently walked away from me. I pressed my lips together before smiling to myself.Cole kissed me back! I went back inside the frat house and made my way over to Paige. I walked past Griff and his new blonde best friend and he scoffed at me in disbelief before he turned to face her. "Tonight's gonna be all about Liv. In case you didn't know the whole world revolves around her." Griff told the girl and I frowned lightly before shaking my head and walking further away from them. What an asshole. Paige frowned at me before putting her arm around my shoulder. "And? What happened?" She asked me. "We kissed," I told her with a smile on my face a
I laid in bed, my room was empty and quiet. My dad went to work earlier this morning, and I pretended to be sick. So, he gave me permission to stay at home today. It's also Friday, it's okay to miss a Friday at school no one ever questions it.I stared up at the ceiling before I closed my eyes. I pictured myself kissing Cole and how he kissed me back. I was consumed by butterflies so I opened my eyes again. We both know it's wrong for us to be together but God knows I can't live my life without him. I will never accept him as my brother. I will never love him like one either. After everything we've been through it wouldn't feel right. My phone suddenly started ringing so I lazily picked it up before answering the phone and holding it against my ear."Yes," "Hey, chief. So, I just got off the phone with Ian. He's coming over in an hour. I'll be there too and so will your mom. So get yourself cleaned up, kiddo." My dad told me and I frowned deeply. "Dad, no." I tried to argue. "Li
"Via? Are you okay?" Cole answered the phone so I sat down on a curb outside my dad's house. "No, I need you, Cole," I told him as tears welled up in my eyes. "What's going on, Liv?" He asked me in a gentle tone. "My mom and well our dad is at our house. They're getting a divorce and now they want to turn whatever is left of my life into a custody battle." I told Cole before I started crying out of anger and frustration."Well, what did your dad say?" Cole asked. "Nothing, they didn't even let him speak. Plus he's not my biological dad so he doesn't have much of a say in the matter." I told Cole. "And what do you want me to do?" He asked me in a gentle tone. "I want you to be here." I softly told him. "I know." He softly told me. "I'm sorry that I'm not there." He added so I wiped the tears from my face. "I love you, bye," I told him while suppressing my sobs."I love you," he told me so I ended the call. I got up from where I was sitting before I climbed into my dad's car. I
"What?" Paige loudly asked me over the phone. It's Sunday and Bri and Austin just went home after they spent the entire weekend at my place. "Yes, you heard correctly. I am dating Storm Brooks." I told her and she smiled at me. "Oh my god, Livvy! You have a boyfriend! A popular one too!" She yelled excitedly. "God, it's weird I kinda thought you and Cole would always just be together. Like I've never imagined seeing you with somebody else." She told me. "Anyway, you didn't tell me you were into Korean guys." She added and I laughed lightly."Who isn't? Besides he's hot and he has a British accent. And Cole is my brother. And it's unhealthy for me to see him, so I'm moving on with my life." "So, is this like a rebound relationship?" She asked me in confusion."No, I like Storm. I've always liked him, also weren't you the one who told me to try out a different ice cream flavor?" I smiled and Paige nodded slowly. "Yeah, I always forget that you've only ever had sex with Cole," Paige
"I want you to leave him for me," Cole told me so I slowly moved back from him. I looked into his eyes before I shook my head at him. "No," I muttered under my breath. "No?" Cole asked me in confusion. "No.""Liv, what is it that you want from me? Huh! Why no?" He wildly asked me. "Because I won't leave him for you." I pointedly responded to his question. "You don't love him, Liv!" Cole angrily told me. "You don't know that Cole! This is about more than love, okay? It's about you telling me what to do all the time. I need you to stop trying to control me, Cole, because it's driving me insane." "And you need to stop leaving me on all these fucking broken bridges." He angrily told me."That's not what I'm doing, Cole. You're not listening to me!" "You're not listening to me either! I have feelings too, Liv. Your feelings aren't the only ones that matter." He snapped at me. "Don't gaslight me into believing that my feelings aren't valid or that I don't care about your feelings.
"I'll see you tonight," Storm told me over the phone so I smiled to myself. "I can't wait. I love you, bye." I told him as I entered the school building in front of me."I love you too." He said before I went inside my biology class. I sat down next to Jade and she pouted sadly once she saw me. "Bio does not feel the same without Shane sitting next to me," Jade whined sadly from next to me so I pulled her into a hug. "Nothing's the same anymore," I said before placing a kiss on the side of her head and she sighed lightly while she held onto me. "I still have you though, that makes me the luckiest girl in the world." She said and I smiled at her. "Same," I said and she rested her head on my shoulder so I patted her head in a comforting manner. Miss Octavia just shook her head at us before she continued her lesson. After sitting through a double period of math Austin and I entered the cafeteria for our lunch break. He sighed heavily before he threw his bag on our table. "Tell me
"So why didn't you ask Tyler to the dance?" Jade asked me and I blankly looked at her. "Because he'll say no just like every other guy in school," I said tiredly and she rolled her eyes at me. "You need to like grab a dick and su-" "Oh my god shut up!" I said in disbelief and she laughed at me. I took my science book out of my locker before closing it. "What I meant to say was, you need to get a boyfriend before the bonfire," Jade explained and I groaned. "I'm telling you, nobody wants to date me," I said and she breathed out in frustration. "Just come to the dance tonight and I'll set you up with someone." She said and I sighed in defeat. "You need to move on, Liv. It's been two years." She said and I averted my gaze from hers. "Fine, I'll come tonight," I said and she squealed before hugging me. We went to class together. I went to sit at the back of the class and Jade sat in the seat in front of me as usual. "Good morning class." Mr Pierce said and the entire class greete
"Cole I can explain," I said when he stopped in front of me. "Go ahead." He said with one eyebrow raised at me. "He forced me to." I blurted out and everyone seemed taken aback by my words. Cole angrily looked between me and Rook. "That's the best you could come up with?" He asked me and I ran a hand through my hair. "I'm not lying. Ask him." I said confidently and everyone looked over at Rook. "She's lying man. She kissed me first and then she asked me to be her date tonight." Rook said and I looked at him in disbelief. "What the fuck, Liv?" Cole asked me and my heart started pounding faster in my chest. "Are you seriously gonna believe this cheating liar over me?" I asked him in disbelief and he looked at me with narrowed eyes. He turned around and punched Rook square on the jaw and the football team made a circle around them while cheering them on. "Cole stop it!" I yelled when he threw another punch at Rook. "Stop!" I yelled again. Cole pulled back from Rook when he final
