Sorry for the late update because I got busy with preparing for my birthday on 17 August.

I have made this chapter longer of about 8404 words to be exact and I hope I was able to make up for my mistake of updating too late😊🙏🏻
____________________

"So you mean you didn't just have sex with Veronica?", I asked as I folded my arms and tried to keep my tears and sobs in control. He looked down at the ground like he was ashamed as I noticed Veronica smirking at me from the corner of my eyes.

If I had caught someone else having sex like this, I would have blushed a lot and would have wanted to die from embarrassment. And I do feel like dying right now as well, but the reason is different, I feel like dying because I am really upset.

Right now both of them naked but I didn't care. Sure hunter is the first guy I saw naked but I was so focused on the situation that my eyes couldn't move down from this bloody-two faced person. I kept walking until I was standing right in front of him,"Why did you do this? Why do this after we spend so much time together? What did I do for you to go this way?", I honestly had so many questions right now but I settled at asking only three. I should have cried at this situation because it hurts like hell when your boyfriend cheats on you, but I have decided not to waste my tears on this. I have to be strong, calm and mature. I can release my sorrows and hurt later in my room!

He didn't answer as he silently backed away and grabbed the comforter, covering himself from his waist. At Least he had this much shame. It did leave Veronica naked and now completely uncovered in the bed, but that's not a problem because I rather see her naked than watch this bloody cheater of a boyfriend's manhood.

"Sophie please let me explain, I-", I cut him off immediately by raising my finger, silencing him. I hate to even hear his voice at present and I can't believe I loved this person. I trusted someone who was a bloody back stabber.

"Don't you dare say my name with that tongue of yours which you probably used to suck this bitch's vagina before I caught you both!", I snapped and heard a gasp from Veronica as Hunter stared at me with wide eyes in shock. Hell! I myself was shocked to use this kind of language which I never expected to use. I guess this is what happens when you are cheated.

"And you", I pointed at Veronica,"You took my mom's bracelet and I didn't say anything, but today you stole him from me. Why do you hate me so much?", I asked with irritation and cracking voice but she just gave me a bored look.

"It's not her fault Sophie. It's just....I couldn't control myself", he said as I furrowed my eyebrows at his little of a reasonable explanation. Not.

"What do you mean you couldn't control? Tell me honestly because we are surely over. But I am not leaving until I know my mistake as your EX-girlfriend that led you to do this to me", I said as I pointed towards the bed and emphasized on the word EX. What I said was true, I am not one of those who give cheaters second chances and so we really were over. But I eagerly need to know what's my fault?

"Please don't do this", he begged as he went down on his knees, folding his palms in front of me. Veronica stood up and walked towards me comfortably, not at all feeling the need to cover herself a little. Sluts like her are the only reason males fall on the wrong path.

"Oh come on hunty, leave her. She's not worth it", Veronica piped in, making me suffer from the torture to hear her chirpy irritating voice. If I had the ability, I would've jumped on her and killed her long ago, but I am not like her. I then realized she called him hunty....that's my nickname for him. Well, if the owner of this name is not mine anymore, the name isn't mine either.

"You guys are pathetic", I said as I pointed at both of them and turned to hunter,"So can you explain what I did which made you sleep with this slut?", I asked again and he got up from his kneeling position, standing tall in front of me. He stepped forward to keep his hand on my arm but I backed away and held my hand up to stop him. He sighed and left his hands hanging on his sides.

"You want to know why I did this?", He suddenly asked and I just gave him a small nod. He stayed silent for a minute before he started spilling the beans,"I did this because things weren't working between us already and you went to New York, leaving me alone and not giving us a chance to have a proper relationship. I was not able to stay alone, I felt lonely", he whispered the last part sadly as I rolled my eyes.

For a minute, I did feel bad for Hunter and I was upset that I left him alone, but then Veronica's face snatched all the sympathy for Hunter out of my heart and brain. I had felt this was going to happen when I was leaving for New York but I pushed that thought away because I trusted Hunter. And I still couldn't believe that he really cheated on me.

And that also because he felt lonely, as if I had guys in New York who didn't make me feel lonely.

"I left you behind to make my career so that we both could have an amazing life in the future. And what do you think? I didn't feel lonely without you? Of course I did...a lot", I confessed and it was the truth, I went there and worked as hard as I could, but this is what I get in return.

"Liar! If you felt lonely, you would have come back to me. For me, our relationship sinked into the drain the minute you left me to be on my own and deal with the problems alone", he said cold heartedly as I stared at him in shock. Does he think I don't love him or didn't miss him? Well, he's absolutely wrong about that one!

"So you mean I came all the way from New York to Madison town for winter vacations just so I could sit at home? Why did you keep me in this stupid relationship which was as good as non-existent to you?", I threw questions at his direction and he frowned at me,"I came here because I did miss you, but I never cheated on you like you did to me", I said and I did see regret in his eyes for a minute, but it disappeared as soon as it had appeared.

I crossed my arms and tapped my foot impatiently on the ground, waiting for him to continue.

"When we were together, I did love you, I can't deny that fact. But every guy has a need and you didn't want to help me fulfil them. It had become too much of a nuisance for me", he explained further as I gaped at him in shock.

"What do you mean by that? What have I done?", I asked him to clear himself ,"What did I not help you in? Because as far I remember, I supported you on each and every step of your life within the last one year", I said as he faked out a taunting laugh and rolled his eyes.

"You really don't get me even now Sophie? ", he asked in disbelief, running a hand through his messy brown hair in frustration,"Un-f*cking believable!", he yelled in annoyance while throwing his hands in the air.

"No, I don't know!", I snap at him. "I come here to give you a birthday surprise and I get to know that the last one year that we've spent together didn't mean anything to you. You need to give me a valid reason, and if you cheated on me, that's one point, but you cheated on me with my biggest enemy", I said as I pointed at Veronica. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves. I don't like being angry but this guy just made me do it.

"Ok, fine! You really are naive. Let me be clear to you", He said calmly as he rubbed his right hand over his face,"Let me start from the beginning. When we first became a couple, I didn't force you into some sexual activity because I knew you needed some time. But never in my dreams did I think that you wouldn't let me have sex with you even after spending a year together. The day I thought I will talk to you about our sexual life, you hit me with the news that you were leaving for New York. I didn't say anything at that time because I thought you could read me and understand that I didn't want you to leave me. But no! You wanted to go and thought that I said 'yes' for you to leave with my whole heart. I was already sexually frustrated and you did this to me. I left my job and changed my lifestyle for you, whereas you couldn't leave a university for me. Now that's so not fair to me. I should have known you won't let me have sex with you the day I sneaked into your room and you stopped me", he said as I stood there frozen on my spot. He was right about the university part, but that doesn't mean he has the right to cheat on me and break me like this.

Does that reason give him the right to play with my feelings and put himself in bed with this trashy Veronica? I've tried my level best to be the best girlfriend but he didn't see my efforts, instead he just saw that I didn't let him have sex with me.

"I know you have a slutty personality which probably is as hot as I thought, what I don't know is why you insist on keeping it hidden somewhere inside you. You have already kissed and gave Chace a lap dance in front of everyone before so I don't know what do you see in me that you don't do the same things with me. I've dated shy women, but I've never come across a girl like you. I'm sorry Sophie, but your as boring as a very old grandma. Your activities, actions, talks, everything about you is so...old fashioned. So yeah, I cheated on you with Veronica and you know what? I don't regret it even by one percent", He finally concluded. I turned to Veronica to see her smiling at Hunter as he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her naked body closer to his naked chest so that her bare breasts could touch it.

"You are so conservative and always want to shut yourself away from the world Sophie. But that's not how life is spend. You need to be adventurous and learn to take risks, and if you don't, no guy is ever going to love you", he said in a low tone and his words were right, I did all of this.

I have done adventurous stunts one or two times and that's also if someone blackmails or forces me to the extent, like Chace. I'm a bore to the infinity. I have had life experiences which scared me and took the power from me to be sporty and adventurous. Is that my fault?

What really makes this all so painful is that almost everybody thinks the same about me.

My ex-boyfriend,

My ex-abusive parents,

My ex-best friend,

And now Hunter....

The truth has hit me in the face...again, and I am too scared to stand against it anymore.

God, just how much more problems are yet to come?

"You cheating asshole", I screamed at him as the tears fell. Instead of reacting to what I just said, he gave me a blank look, ignoring me while Veronica stood there with a wicked smile, taunting me with her untold words and hateful eyes.

As he walked past me towards the door and held it open, he paused and had the guts to break my heart even further by saying," If you didn't have left me or let me have sex with you, I wouldn't have cheated on you. Now if you could get out, I need to continue having sex with Veronica since you disturbed us when we were going to cum", he taunted as another piece of my heart broke. I wanted to react, hurt him, scream at him, but I felt numb, my whole body felt numb. I seemed to loss the power to fight with him, fight with Veronica. I didn't know what to do.

He didn't say anything else as he still stood holding the door and pointing outside, asking me to leave. I walked out of the door and hoped that I won't have to see his disgusting face ever again in my whole life.

"The day I saw you in my PE period, I found you beautiful, amazing and all, and I thought I would be the luckiest guy to have you as my girlfriend ignoring the fact that you were my student. But I was wrong!", he said as I stood on one spot, to hear how much more can he insult me.

"And I know Chace is in town with you, so you can go and do whatever the hell you want. Because you don't have me anymore", he whispered last before slamming the the door shut behind me while I walked forward and waited for the elevator to come and take me.

As I reached my car, I sunk down on my seat, placed my knees on the seat and held them to my chest. My sobs and cries were there, but there was no one right now to wipe them. The last time I cried like this was when my expansive parents had tortured me.

This wasn't the first time that I'd gone through something like this, my ex boyfriend had done the same with me for the same reason, and I don't really know for how many more times I will have to go through the same thing.

I've had one breakup before but this one, was hundred times more painful, because it was with the person I trusted the most and loved. I try to be careful with my heart, but it doesn't seem to work. People think I'm an object kept on a corner so that anybody can come and take me and then leave me by their choices when they get tired of looking at me!

After another few minutes, I wiped my tears from the back of my sleeves and started the car, holding the steering wheel and taking deep breaths to calm myself. I think I need to go home before anybody calls the police or something, seeing me crying alone in a car like crazy.

Yep! I definitely need a large jar of ice cream or skittles to get over this incident and make myself feel a bit better.

----

"HE DID WHAT!?", Andrea and Olivia screamed in sync at me over the phone as me and savannah backed up a bit due to the sudden out bursting noises from my phone. When I reached home, I found Savannah waiting for me in my room and I ran into her arms immediately for a bit comfort. She was confused at first but then I told her everything.

And her being her, she messaged Andrea to call us and have Olivia with her. I didn't know about their little conversation until I got the call. Before I could refuse them that there is nothing to talk about, Savannah snatched the phone from my hands and started telling them everything. I wanted to stop her but I don't feel like doing anything. So I quietly sat down beside her on the bed with the phone between the both of us.

"He cheated on me", I whispered back as my lips started quivering again and soon turned into small sobs. Great! I had just stopped crying. I felt Savannah hug me close to her as I heard Andrea and Olivia curse over the phone.

She kept running her hand through my hair to calm me down while the phone line was silent as well, maybe they understood I need some time to control myself. After a few minutes, my sobs finally disappeared and I unattached myself from savannah's embrace, giving her an assured look that I was fine.

"What's...the time?", I asked slowly and looked around myself to check the clock in my room. I gasped when I saw it was 9pm at night, the time runs when you are feeling numb I guess,"I think you should go home sav, it's late", I said with a small smile and she refused by shaking her head.

"Nope! I am staying here tonight", she argued stubbornly and laid back on my bed. I turned to look at her and shook her to get up,"Please Savannah, I need some time alone today. Please", I pleaded her with my eyes as she sat up and studied me for a minute before nodding her head and getting off my bed. Thank god! What happened today has affected me and I really love Savannah for trying to stay here tonight and help me feel better but what I need is some time alone to get over that cheating asshole.

"Hello girlies! We are still over the phone", Olivia screamed over the phone to get our attention and that's when we realized the phone line wasn't cut,"And I think Sophie is right Savannah", Andrea suggested and Savannah sighed.

"I already said to Sophie that I won't be staying by nodding my head", Savannah replied and I gave her smile, thanking her from my eyes that she agreed to leave me.

"Oh yeah! We saw you nodding your head over the phone", Andrea replied sarcastically, making me laugh at her. These girls are never going to change and quit making me happy if I am sad.

Savannah left at about 10pm after we both had dinner with my aunt and uncle. It was the hardest thing to make myself look happy and better, where in real I just wanted to bust out crying over myself. And eating was more harder because I wasn't hungry at all and if I lied, I knew Savannah would do something wrong to make me eat. She wanted me to eat so that I wouldn't grow weak but what's the difference, I am already a weak girl that almost everyone hates.

I ran to my room after whispering goodbyes and from that time, I have been lying on my bed and going through the gifts and pictures of me and hunter. I want to tear and break it all but I can't seem to develop the strength in myself to do so. If I should have tried to remember how my previous relationship ended, I would have never started a second one. Even my first boyfriend left me because I wasn't ready to have sex with him.

As I was lost in my painful world, I heard a knock kind of noise from the window, but I ignored it thinking of it as an hallucination. Few seconds later, the knocks returned and this time, they were louder. I looked at my bedside alarm to realise it was 12am right now. Who the hell is this at so late at night!?

I got up from my bed as I lowered my baggy shirt to cover my legs till my knee as I wasn't wearing my pants. I walked towards the window but not before grabbing the empty flower vase on my bedside. I have to use it if it's a thief or a rapist.

I slowly crept to the window and tried to see who was knocking it but the darkness outside didn't let do so. As I reached further ahead, I saw a dark figure with a black hoodie but I still couldn't see the face. I walked further and focused myself on looking at the person's face, which shocked me when it came into my view.

What is he doing here!?

"Go away!", I said firmly over the closed window and waved my hand in the air to make it clear to him to leave. But him being him, he didn't even bulge and kept knocking at the window. I turned around and decided to ignore him, making my way to my bed. I jumped on my bed on my stomach and laid my head into the pillow, covering my ears to ignore the continuous knocking on my window. After a few minutes, the room went silent and I turned around to check if he left or not, which he thankfully did.
But I hope he left and didn't fall off.

I sat up and stood on my feet, walking towards the window. I slowly opened it and shivered when the cold air suddenly attacked my not so covered body. I looked down at the ground but there was no body lying or anyone standing so I sighed in relief and was about to close the window when someone suddenly jumped into my room from above me through the open window, pushing me behind.

Due to the sudden push, I fell on the ground on my back while a heavy figure fell on me, crushing me to death. Joking! But yes, the weight of this person was crushing me to the extent where breathing was getting difficult for me as seconds ticked by. I couldn't see this person's face because it was covered with a hoodie and so I decided to scream but a firm hand came over my mouth, silencing me.

"Ssshhh! It's me Chace!", he whisper-yelled as my eyes widened and came back to their normal size. I was internally glad it wasn't a thief or someone otherwise today would have been my last day.

"I am going to remove my hand, you better be quiet", he said authoritatively as I raised my eyebrow at his command. Nonetheless, I nodded my head in agreement and he slowly loosened his grip as I prepared myself to scream. As his hand completely disappeared, I tried to push him off me with all my might but he was really heavy and unmovable. I started hitting his chest to get his weight off me and he understood what I wanted this time. He used his right arm to push him off me on the left side, making him lay on the ground beside me.

I took deep breaths to bring my nerves to calm down. I quickly jerked up off the ground as he still laid beside me, looking at my every movement. I got up off the ground and sat on my bed as he got up and sat on the ground in front of me, folding his legs and looking down at me. He didn't say anything for a few minutes as he kept looking down and I sat in silence too, not knowing what to speak. I knew he wasn't going to leave so it was pointless to argue.

"Nice pink panties", he suddenly whispered loud enough as he pointed downwards and I looked down to realise that my shirt was slightly up and displayed my undies, making me blush and pull the shirt down to cover it. I even crossed my legs to keep my area covered. I glared at him when he bust out laughing at my face because he noticed everything I just did. So this is why he was staring down at my lap.

"Whatever! Didn't I tell you to leave?", I said with annoyance clear in my voice to make it clear to him that he is not welcomed in my room at this time and when I don't want to talk to anyone.

"I am not leaving until I make you feel better", he said as I gave him a confused look,"Sav told me about hunter, so I came to help you forget that bastard", I slowly processed his words and cursed Savannah in my mind for telling Chace everything. Why does she do this to me???

"I don't need anyone's help Chace. And if you still want to help me, please leave and let me be alone for sometime", I said while looking down at my lap. What I said was true, being alone would be a great help and make me recover faster.

"I am not leaving until you let me make you feel better", he said with a pinch of finality in his voice and I wasn't in the mood to argue, so I simply nodded for him to continue with his so-called therapy. The truth is, nothing can help me feel better. Who can feel happy if the person they love cheated on them with their worst enemy? Not me at least.

As I was thinking to agree or disagree with him, he pulled a small plastic bag out of his front pocket, handing it to me. I took it hesitantly, scared that it contains something which was put up by Chace to prank or startle me. I opened the bag and pulled out a large bag of skittles and another bag of M&M.

I raised my eyes to look at him and he was smiling at me. Since he was kind enough to bring this for me at the right time, I smiled back,"Thank you", I whispered and he nodded his head back, rubbing his palms together, like he was preparing himself for something.

"Alright, I am going to keep it simple", Thank god ,"But, you have to do as I say or it won't be simple anymore", I frowned at him for troubling me right now. There is always a but in a statement said by Chace. Why did you do this to me Savannah!? I am not going to leave you tomorrow.

"We will start with the first step, I want you to sing 'we are never ever ever' right now", he said and I raised my eyes, studying his face to check if he was serious right now. And he was!

"Are you seriously making me sing a song right now?", I asked in shock and irritation as he nodded his head in agreement. I sighed and thought about what he said, I think if I don't sing, Chace is not going to leave my back. I closed my eyes and started murmuring,"We... are never ever getting-", I was about to finish but he cut me off,"Sing it with rhythm and do it with full emotion", he instructed, making me groan.

I cleared my throat and started singing the song more properly this time,"We, are never ever ever, getting back together. You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me, but weeee, are never ever ever, getting back together you asshole hunter", I screamed and amazingly I felt a bit better. But he doesn't need to know that his idea worked a little on me.

"The last part was a bit disturbing, but see,I knew you had Taylor swift in you to sing her song so perfectly. But if I look clearly at you now, you look like Selena Gomez", he commented while grinning ear to ear, making me give him a confused look. Where did Taylor swift come from in Selena Gomez's song?

"Why did you bring Taylor swift in between Selena Gomez's song?", I asked in confusion as he went into a deep thought. He then replied with his dumb answer,"No sweetbutt, 'we are never ever' has been sung by Taylor swift", he said as I disagreed immediately, "I am 100% sure it was sung by Selena Gomez", I said sternly as he nodded his head in disapproval.

"It's Taylor Swift, I love her", he said dreamily as I shook by head at his mistake which he is not ready to accept. That's when I got an idea to get rid of him.

"Fine! Let's search it up. If I win, you leave and if you win I...", I trailed off, thinking of what to give him if he won, which he won't. I quickly thought of one and I was about to say but he cut me off,"If I win sweetbutt, you give me a kiss", he said with a smirk as I raised my eyebrow at his demand.

"Do you always search for a chance to kiss me?", I asked with irritation and he shrugged,"I never said I don't", he replied and I rolled my eyes at his answer. It's not something wrong to give him a small kiss on the cheek, anyways I am already single.

"Fine! I am not in a relationship right now anyways", I said calmly although these words hurt me internally more than anything. It felt like a hammer was being hit on my heart again and again, making my pain to increase every time I remembered him.

Not,

In a,

Relationship,

Anymore....

"Hello? Where are you lost?", Chace asked suddenly as he snapped his fingers in front of my face, pulling me out of my crazy and depressing thoughts.

"Yeah! Let's search it up, I accept your challenge", I said and made my way to my study table, where my brand new MacBook Pro was placed neatly on the table. It was a welcome back gift from my aunt, and I couldn't be more glad. University has a lot of laptop work.

I switched it on and waited for it to load while I felt Chace stand behind me, resting his elbows on the back of my chair which I had occupied. Once the password box came, I turned to check on Chace and saw that he was looking up and whistling, at least he had this much manners. I quickly typed in the password and waited for the main screen to open. Once it did, I quickly opened the safari tab and typed in the song, smiling in victory already because I knew I was right.

But what came in front of me shocked me, because I was wrong,"I told you sweet butt, Taylor swift has sung this song", Chace said tauntingly from behind as I rechecked the name I typed on Google. But it was correct and I was wrong.

Chace leaned further and adjusted his head beside mine, placing his one hand on the chair and the other was on the table for balancing ,"I guess you owe me a kiss now", Chace whispered as his mouth was right next to me ear and our faces were inches apart. When he spoke, the fresh minty air from his mouth flew over my face, especially my ear and it tickled. I turned my face to look at him with  annoyance and that was a mistake because our faces became further closer, but this time it was like if I even move one inch, our lips would touch. Our this close proximity was kind of awkward but as our gazes met, we both froze.

His eyes looked into mine, brown to brown, and all I could do was run my stare over his perfectly sculptured face. I have been this close to him many times, but today seems different. My stare went to his messed soft brown hair, which gave me a weird urge to run my hands through it. His eyes were too deep for my liking and so I decided to skip examining them, but I couldn't skip seeing where they were looking darkly, they were located at me lips. My eyes dropped to his perfectly plumply lips, which looked so inviting and kissable, that it was almost impossible not to lean in and attack them with my own. Our breaths were slow and steady but they were trying to increase due to our closeness.

"You are stepping into my personal bubble Chace", I finally found the courage to speak, and honestly, it was the hardest thing I have ever done. If I wouldn't have broken this silence between us, I was sure something big would have happened between us like before, and that would ruin our friendship. It would have also given wrong ideas to him for which I am not at all prepared. And after what happened with Hunter, I think I need sometime before I get into another relationship. As if a guy like Chace would like to be with me.

"Way to ruin the moment", he whispered in a really low sound but it didn't skip my hearing, which caused my eyes to widen and look at him immediately, "Moment, what moment? We didn't have any moment", I answered him with a lot more enthusiasm than I intended to use. Now he would think I panicked at his words, which I actually did.

"As you say. Anyways, you owe me a kiss", he said again and I rolled my eyes at his eagerness. He took a step back and stood straight behind me while I twirled my chair around to look at him standing impatiently. I stood up and looked at him for a minute before I sighed and bend forward. He started to pout his lips out for a kiss and closed his eyes, waiting for me to take a step. But as I had planned, I tilted my head to the side and placed a small kiss on his cheek, which caused him to open his eyes.

"You have to kiss me on the lips", he pouted as I shook my head in disagreement,"You said I have to kiss you, you didn't tell me where". I said with a shrug and he thought for a minute before he stomped his feet like a little child, making me laugh at his behaviour.

"That's not fair. I am not leaving until you kiss me here", he said as he pointed at his lips, bending his head forward and not even waiting for my reply. I raised my hand and placed it on his chest, pushing him back.

"Nope! If you want, I can give you another kiss on the cheek. But not lips", I said sternly and he nodded his head, grinning ear to ear. I leaned forward and he pushed his cheek towards me. My lips were about to touch his cheeks when he tilted his head so that my lips touched his lips, causing my eyes to widen in utter shock. As his lips captured mine properly, his hands went around my waist and pulled my body closer to his, making our chests collide. His lips moved softly over mine as I still stood frozen on my spot, trying to make my body react at his actions. He pulled me so close that even air would quit finding a way to pass through between us.

As usual his kiss was demanding, but soft and captivating, that I couldn't help but melt into his arms and surrender myself into this kiss. As I started responding, he pulled back and stared at me with a mischievous smirk as I internally groaned, "I got a kiss from you on my lips", he said with a wink as I stared at him. His words seemed to awaken something inside me and made me realize what just happened. And so I immediately back up and blush, while he just smirked at my misery and removed his hands from my waist, making me free.

"Eww! Kissing you is like kissing an ugly frog", I said with disgust as I wiped my lips with my hands vigorously, giving him a scrunched up face,"Don't forget sweet butt, the ugly frog turned out to be a charming prince for the princess", he said with proudness as I paused for a minute to understand his words. Honestly, every kiss I have had with him feels undeniably good, but I don't know the reason behind that. And he was right about the Prince Charming thing.

"Anyways, start this song on your laptop. I want to hear it", he said as he pointed at my laptop screen where the tab for the song was still open. I wouldn't have done it any other time but right now, I need to change the topic and atmosphere and so I opened the song on YouTube without any arguments.

As the song started, I turned to chace who was sitting on my chair and looking at the video as I took a side step, giving him full view of the screen. I made sure to keep the volume at the right level, because the last thing I want is someone to walk in my room at night when a boy is present here. I went to sit on the bed as he sat silently on the chair and murmured the lyrics.

I remember when we broke up the first time
Saying, "This is it, I've had enough," 'cause like
We hadn't seen each other in a month
When you said you needed space. (What?)
Then you come around again and say
"Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me."
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say, "I hate you," we break up, you call me, "I love you."

I was listening to the song silently as he kept singing but suddenly, he got up and made his way towards me on the bed. I thought he was going sit but he stood in front of me, extending his hand and I hesitantly took it.

Ooh, we called it off again last night
But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you

He pulled me up from my hand as I gasped at his sudden action. He pulled me to the center of my room and started swirling around and dancing to the beat carelessly.

We are never ever ever getting back together,
We are never ever ever getting back together,
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

Like, ever...

When he saw I wasn't dancing like him, he caught my hand and twirled me around, after which he pulled me close to him and gestured me to dance. This song did give me an urge to dance to it but I still refused, because I didn't want to make fun of myself. Nonetheless, he still kept forcing me so I started clapping my hands and stomping my feet.

I'm really gonna miss you picking fights
And me falling for it screaming that I'm right
And you would hide away and find your peace of mind
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine

I suddenly froze when the indie thing came, because that reminded me of how Hunter found peace with Veronica who is my biggest enemy right now. And the sad thing is that I have done nothing wrong to her, still she wants to ruin my life. Chace seemed to notice me standing still and lost in deep thoughts because he went to the study table and paused the song right away. I looked at him in confusion as he stepped to stand in front of me, holding my shoulders and making me look at him straight in the eyes.

"Listen to me carefully Sophie", he said when our eyes met and he looked serious, because he called me by my name after a long time,"I know your thinking about him. So what I am about to say is completely true, don't think I said this to make you feel better. Ok?", he asked and I nodded my head slowly.

"What he did, is his mistake because according to me, he lost the most amazing girl I have ever met. People think I am a bad boy and all I do is use girls and not know them. But people are wrong! I do try to know every girl I spend my time with. And all they want are one night stands or expensive gifts. But you wanted my friendship and that's a totally different thing for me. When you said you were with Hunter, I felt that, that asshole was going to hurt you but I thought it was just a stupid thought. What he did with you was a d*ck move and I swear I would have killed him if I could. But that would be an easy suffering for him. Tell me one thing, do you want him to suffer like you did today?", chace asked patiently as he waited for my answer. I did want to see Hunter suffer and feel like I did, but was that even possible.

"I take your silence as a yes. So if you want him to suffer sweet butt, you first need to forget your sufferings and show that bast*rd what he has lost. You need to show him you are way much happier without his unlucky presence in your life. So tell me, can you do that?", Chace asked, looking intensely into my eyes, waiting for me to reply again. Now that I think about it, when I was crying in front of Hunter, it didn't affect him a bit. But if I smile and be happy in front of him, he may actually realise what mistake he has done by betraying me. I now know what I have to do.

"Yes, I can do that", I said confidently, which caused chace to smile, his face brightening. His smile was so contagious that it caused my lips to twitch in one too.  We both stood there for a minute before chace slowly started leaning forward towards my face, his hold still tight on my arms. I closed my eyes as I waited for his next move, but I felt nothing on my lips. Instead, a pair of lips kissed my forward in a feather light kiss, causing butterflies to explode in my stomach and a shiver to run down my spine. His lips wandered on my forehead for a few more seconds before they backed up, chace now looking at me again. Without another word, he went to my laptop and started the song again from where we left it off. He turned to me and once again extended his hand, and this time, I took it with out any hesitance as we both started dancing like maniacs, not caring about our steps at all.

Ooh, you called me up again tonight
But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you

He mouthed me to sing with him and I started doing so immediately, "We are never, ever, ever getting back together
We are never, ever, ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (talk to me)
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together", we both sang together, laughing at the sudden energy in us which appeared after listening to this song. I don't know for how long but we kept changing songs as we kept dancing to the beats. My breaths were getting heavier from all the dancing I was doing but I didn't care, because all I cared about was the enjoyment and amazing feeling I was getting from all this.

For the next I don't know how much hours, we kept changing songs and danced all night long. From 'titanium' to 'animals', according to me we didn't leave any songs the whole night. I don't know how and when we fell asleep on the ground as we cuddled into each other and tried to clear our exhaustion off.

My eyes opened because of the odd pain on my back and a heavy weight on my chest, which was causing it hard for me to breath. I rubbed my blurry eyes to clear my vision and when I looked around, I realised I was lying on the ground with my hands stuffed into something soft, and it felt hairy.

I looked down at my chest and I got a 440 volt shock when I saw that someone's head was placed on my chest, right above my left breast. Chace had his one hand kept on my stomach and he was using my breast as his pillow for the night. His breathing was steady as his body shook up and down from it. From the small snores, he seemed to be in a deep sleep.

As I adjusted my eyes to the brightness in my room, I realized that it was morning already. Shit!

I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 12:00pm right now, which means aunt and uncle have already left. But Daniel is still in the house and Savannah said she will be here to meet me today at anytime. If anyone of them walks in right now, I am done for sure.

"Chace", I called him out as I lightly shook his shoulder to wake him up. When I didn't get any respond, is shook him a bit more firmly, which has the same outcome. God, this guy sleeps like a....ugh! I don't know! But he sleeps too deeply.

Suddenly, I felt something wet on my shirt right on my chest. Why would my chest feel wet, did my milk come out of my breast or something. No, that's not possible. Wait! Chace's mouth is over my breast and that's where I am feeling wet, which means, it's Chace's drool. Eww!

"YUCK YUCK YUCK". I screamed loudly in disgust as chace sat up with a jerk, looking around him in sleepy state in confusion and shock,"Whats wrong?", he asked in a deep husky voice which would have felt amazing if he didn't have spoiled my shirt right now. Instead of answering his question, I quickly stood up and grabbed a tissue from my night stand, wiping his saliva off me vigorously.

"Why did you scream? What's wrong?", he asked again and I looked up at him in annoyance," You just drooled over my chest and your asking what's wrong?", I said with disgust as I continued wiping my shirt and neck. He stood up from the ground and came to stand in front of me, raising his hand to examine my shirt but I slapped it off before it touched my breast.

"Can you calm down please? You are reacting as if I just cumed on you". He said causally as he planted his hands in his pocket. I looked up at him in shock and scrunched my nose in disgust,"You are disgusting", I said irritatedly but he gave me no reaction. After I was satisfied that my shirt was now clean, I threw the tissue away and returned to stand in front of him again. He turned to look at something and my gaze followed his, landing on my bedside alarm clock, which was showing 12:10 at present. He grabbed his jacket from my study table chair and wore it, taking out his phone and checking it. He let out a relieved breath and kept his Phoenix back inside his pocket, finally turning to me. 

"I am leaving now. Don't miss me too much but do dream about me", he said playfully as he made his way to my window and opened it, climbing on the railing and getting ready to jump outside like he came,"You wish!", I replied and he put a hand over his heart, faking a hurtful expression teasingly.

Suddenly his expression turned serious as he looked at me in deep thought,"Sweetbutt?", he called and I hummed in response as I made my way to stand a bit closer to the window and look up at him standing tall on the railing with the perfect balance.

"A real gentleman spoils his girl's lipstick, not her mascara", Chace suddenly said as an unexpected smile crept onto my face from his quote. Again I have heard it somewhere like his previous one but I think I should let him take the credit this time. He smiled at me and gave me one last look before jumping out of the window, making me gasp and run forward to check if he landed properly or is he hurt. Thankfully, when I saw down, he was standing properly on his feet and looking up at me, as if he was waiting for me to check on him.

"Your crazy!", I yelled but not loud enough to wake anyone. He shrugged as he looked up at me with a sudden smirk on his face,"Only for you!", he yelled back and as I processed what he meant, he had already left and disappeared from my pathway. That was fast, is he a vampire or a werewolf? I will make sure to ask him tomorrow when I meet him again.

Did I seriously wish to meet him again?

Yep! I did.

What's wrong with me?

He sure is a bad boy with good flirting skills...and heart. I am sure he didn't mean it when he said he was crazy for me, he is always in the unserious mode.

I shook my head at my thoughts to clear them for the last time today and jogged to my bed, pulling the plastic bag with the candies on my lap and attacking it like a cave woman. Although I don't need these anymore to make me feel better because it was already done,
by Chace....
