SUSAN'S P.O.V.

Today was the day.  After days of observation and planning I had deciphered that the only way to actually break up the strong love between Jayden,  my target and Alisha,  the only obstacle in my path was to use their strong love against them.

The only way to do that was mind games. Make them see what is not.
It was a three stage plan and the first stage was already in motion thanks to the fact that Jayden was kind enough to leave his phone behind in the car when I hitched a ride with the gang.

I mean, it seems as if even the universe is in my favour.

Stage one of my plan was complete. Stage two was going to be the hardest part.
To get to Alisha's phone.

My plan involves the use of off limit classrooms and good ol' technology.

I'm going to stick around and have some fun with Jayden and Alisha.

If my heart wasn't as tiny as it was,  I would have almost felt bad about destroying something so beautiful. Almost.

One thing I actually feel bad for is that my dear cousin will be caught in the middle of it all. She would get over it soon though.

I couldn't bear to see her hurt because of me. Especially since what I'm doing will benefit both me and her.

We would just have to wait for the fun to start...

ALISHA'S P.O.V.

I woke up this morning with a terrible feeling in my chest. I didn't know why but today felt somewhat gloomy.

I got up and took a shower and just put on some jeans and a T shirt and pulled my hair up in a loose bun on top of my head.

Alisha was already awake so we met downstairs. I think the atmosphere got to both of us because neither one of us was in the mood for a hearty breakfast so we had orange juice.

Jayden texted and told me that he would come pick us up from school.  For the first time,  I didn't want to object because I just wasn't up for it so I put my phone in my back pocket and we waited for him.

Twenty minutes later, Jayden was at our house. My mom hugged him and kissed his cheek. She did the same for us and we went on to pick Anne up from her place.

"Can I hitch a ride with you guys? I need to get to college early today." Susan pleaded.

The knot in my stomach grew as I told her she could ride with us. Like it was warning me that I would regret it and I didn't look at Jayden either because I knew he wouldn't agree.

I hadn't gotten around to asking him of anything was between him and Susan yet.

I guessed he would tell me when he was ready to.

JAYDEN'S P.O.V.

Today was just not feeling like a good day. I felt like something really bad was going to happen.  Something I knew I wouldn't like.

For that reason, as soon as I got in my car I texted Alisha that I would pick her and Alessia up so we could go to school together with Anne. After that, I put my phone in the cupholder and drove off.

What I didn't expect was that Susan would want to ride with us. I really didn't like her being around Alisha.

Shit got real when the past mixed with the present. I had sat through too many Indian soaps to not know that by now.

Before I could make up some lame ass excuse as to why she couldn't, Alisha being the too good for her own good girl that she could be sometimes, said "Sure.  Why not?"

I could tell she was deliberately avoiding my gaze. She knew I wouldn't like Susan riding with us. I really wondered why she hasn't thrown a big pot of questions at me on the issue of Susan.

Knowing Alisha as well as I do, the curiosity was killing her but she was waiting for me to come clean on the whole issue.

I was going to tell her but I just didn't know when.

We got to school and I walked Alisha, Alessia and Anne into the school after promising them that I would drop Susan at college and be back before school started.

I dropped Susan off and came back to school. I was surprised she didn't try to hit me with the whole I'm so sorry bullshit. I was kinda grateful for that, saved me the strength for something more useful.

When I got back to school,  there were still ten minutes left before school started. I took my phone and smiled when I saw a text from Alisha.

BABY: Meet me in the classroom that is going to be renovated. Lunch time.  I have a surprise for you ;-)

I grinned like a loon. Then the bell rang which meant I didn't have time to get to Alisha's locker.

I went straight to class.

ALISHA'S P.O.V.

Jayden still hadn't come to my locker yet like he promised. I assumed he had just gotten caught up and went to class.

As soon as I took a seat, I checked for my phone in my back pocket but it wasn't there.

The door swung open and Jayden came in and took a seat beside me as usual.

"Hey, I left my phone in your car." I said and he smiled.

"I'll go get it." he offered but I stop him before he can get up to do so.

"I'll go." I say  giving him a small smile. His eyebrows drew together in confusion but he gave up and gave me the car keys.

I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and made for the parking lot.

My phone was on the front seat. I just assumed it fell out of my back pocket where I had kept it earlier and went back to class.

The teacher still wasn't in class either so I started scrolling through my phone and noticed a new message from Jayden.

BABY: Meet in the deserted classroom at lunch time. I have a surprise for you <3

I secretly smiled to myself as I read the message over and over again.

The deserted classrooms is Jayden's name for the set of class rooms that are off limits because they're going to be renovated.

ANNE'S P.O.V.

Susan wanted to ride with us today. I really wondered why but I just shrugged it off.

She had also been particularly interested in any news about Winston high.

I told her about the classrooms that were being renovated and all the other stuff.

It was lunch time and Jayden and Alisha were nowhere to be seen so I just took it that they were off doing something that was PG 16 but what did I know.

Alessia was sitting beside me in the seat and I could tell the same thing was going through he mind. We looked at each other and shared a knowing smile and then continued eating our lunch.

SUSAN'S P.O.V.

It was time. The plan I had worked so hard putting together was going to be put into action.

Things had been great so far. I mean Jayden and Alisha were so lost in the comfortable silence between them that they didn't even notice when their phones went missing.

Love really did make you blind...

I was at the end of the hallway diligently watching when I saw Jayden go into the classroom I had assigned for my charade.

I knew he was going to be the first to get there.  He was always the predictable little dog that obeyed every command of love.

Sadly,  that was his downfall...

My lips turned upwards in a devious smirk as I sauntered seductively into said classroom.

He was staring out the window, his back to the door when I walked in.

He turned around and his eyes went wild with anger.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" he exploded.

JAYDEN'S P.O.V.

I went it the classroom and waited for Alisha.
When the door came open and shut, I turned around and to my biggest fucking surprise, it wasn't Alisha.

It was Susan.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I spat,  not even trying to hide the disgust in my voice.

She walked closer to me and I stepped back.

"Get the hell away from me." I growled but she did only the exact opposite.

There was something about the way she walked that told me she wasn't here for a friendly visit.

She stopped in front of me and gave a dirty smirk.

Why do I feel I'm not going to like the shit that's going to go down?...

"What part of get the hell away from me do you not fucking understand?" I snapped.

"Schhh..." she hushed.

He hands crept up to the waist of my jeans and dove in.

She gripped me through my jeans.
I was hard against my will.

Before I could even process what was actually happening. What she was doing to me. She attached her lips to mine while she stroked me hard and fast.

An involuntary groan escaped my lips when she swirled her tongue in my mouth.

This had to stop and it had to stop now. I couldn't do this. Not it Alisha.

She was the only one I wanted doing any of this to me and she was the only one who had the right to from now and till ever.

She moved her hand up to my shirt. I stopped her with mine and the door burst open.

Alisha.

Alisha was standing there on the verge of tears. She misunderstood the whole thing.

I couldn't blame her. I was in such a compromising situation that anyone who saw me right now would think the same.

Hot tears spilled from the corners of her eyes.

It took me a moment to realize that I was still holding Susan's hand and her lips were still in mine.

"Alisha. It's not what it looks like." I said and immediately regretted it. I had never really been a fan of cliches but that was the only thing that came to mind at that point.

Now I know how the guys that get caught in situations like these feel.

She just shook her head, a river of tears still flowing down her face.

I quickly let go of Susan's hand and walked to Alisha.

Before I could get to her, she held up a hand to stop me.

My heart fell from my chest and shattered into a million tiny pieces.

She looked at me with so much hurt in her eyes.

"Don't. Come. Closer. " she spat.

My world came crashing down around me as she turned her back on me and left without even a second glance.

Susan came up from behind me and put a hand on my shoulder.

If I didn't hate her before,  I do now.

I hate her so much, her touch made me flinch.

"Get the hell away from me before I do something I won't regret." I roared.

Once again,  she has succeeded in ruining my life.

ALISHA'S P.O.V.

It was lunch time and I was really excited to see the surprise that Jayden had in store for me.

I made my way up the stairs and to the classroom where I knew he would be.

As the door came open, my world shattered before me.

Susan and Jayden. Jayden and Susan. In the classroom. Together. Sucking face.

There was something going on and I just didn't notice it like the fool that I am.

Hot tears spilled from my eyes and just wouldn't stop. I couldn't stop the tears even if I tried.

My Jayden.

Did I even have the right to call him that anymore?

He tried coming to me but I stopped him.
I couldn't take it.

I turned my back and went to the only place I could get a little sanity at that point in time. The girls bathroom.

This time I made sure to actually  look at the sign even if my eyes were burning.

I was safe. It was the girls sign.

I ran into the one of the stalls.

I made sure to cry my eyes out because according to my mom, crying was the first step to healing.

Although, I doubted that I would ever be able to get through this.

The main bathroom door creaked open and     déjà vu was the first thing that came to mind.

If I wasn't so hurt right now,  I might have even laughed at the fact that they universe is playing games with me.

Blonde locks came from the other side of the door and the face I saw just made my day worse.

Zarha was the one who caught me crying this time.

"What are you doing in there?" she asked.

Since my last encounter with her, I haven't really seen her around.

Her eyes softened when she took in my condition.

"Please come out of there." she pleaded.

The universe was really playing tricks on me. My tormenter was now taking pity on me.

I wiped my tears and came out of the stall.

Something seemed different about her. Her eyes seemed warmer than they always were.

"Who did this to you?" she asked.
I looked at the floor.

"Please tell me." she egged me on.

"Why? So you can make fun of me? Ridicule me?  Or take pity on me?  Which one is it?" I snapped.

She looked at me with sad eyes.

"I can understand why you would think that but I swear,  I've changed." she said.

"Seeing how you stood up for your sister the other day changed something in me.  You said that I feel beautiful and I should share that beauty and love with others. Not make them hate themselves. Your words got to me.  I know I have a lot to make up for but I believe this is a start." she said.

I won't even try to deny the fact that I am surprised how she's spilling her guts in front of me like this.

She wrapped her arms around me in a hug and I couldn't help but cry.

"He— He cheated on me." I managed to say as she stroked my back up and down in a soothing manner.

"Listen, forget everything I've done to you till now and all the terrible things I've said to and about you." she said and I waited for her to continue.

"You are beautiful, Alisha. On the outside and in. If he can't see that then it's his loss." She said.

I decided to take her words to heart.

" You just have to be strong like I know you are.  I mean no one except you and your sister have ever been able to stand up to me. That's something.  So don't let it get the better of you." she said.

I would never really have thought in the slightest that during my time of trouble of all people,  Zarha would be my pillar of support.

She just held me there and let me cry it all out,  which was kind of what I really needed.

I just couldn't get my head around it all. Jayden would never do that to me. I know him. Or at least I thought I did.

I just wanted to go home and sleep this terrible day off. Maybe if I slept hard enough, it will all be a dream at the end.

Sadly that never happened. After school I went home without waiting for Alessia or Anne.

The thought of Anne crossed my mind. Did she know that Jayden and Susan knew each other and then intentionally keep it from me?

I walked into my house and saw my mom on the couch.  One look at me told her everything.

Mothers were programmed like that. If there was anything wrong, they could tell.

I gave her a look that told her that I wasn't ready to talk about it and she nodded as I went upstairs.

I got into the shower and turned the dial on full blast.

I could cry freely as the water hit my skin and I let my tears fall.  I screamed and let it all out.

After my moment, I got out of the shower and put some fresh clothes on.

Alessia and my mom came to my room.
I told them about everything that happened and they just listened and gave me hugs when necessary.

"I knew there was something off about Susan." she mused.

I let out a strangled laugh.

After a few words of encouragement and telling me that everything will be okay,  my mom left because she could tell that there was something Alessia wanted to say to me in  private.

"Alisha,  I know this may be hard on you now but I really think you shouldn't jump to conclusions on this." she said referring to my ordeal.

"I could see it in his eyes from the first day I saw you together. He loves you... And I know you love him too." she mused.

I looked up at her. She couldn't possibly be sure of that. Even I wasn't sure.

"You surprised I noticed? You two have I love you written on your faces when looking at each other.  You may not say but I believe actions speak louder than words and he has done nothing but show you how  much he loves you." she said and pulled me into a hug.

"He makes you happy so please don't loose something that makes you smile over something as petty as Susan. It's okay if you need your distance for a while.  I'm not asking you to go back to him immediately. Make the boy suffer a bit and trust me,  you'll see that he's the best thing that has ever happened to you. " she said and kissed my cheek as I smiled.

"She's absolutely right."My moms voice came from the other end of the door as she walked in and pulled us both into a hug and kissed our temples. "and I'm so proud of these wonderful human beings that I have raised." as she smiled wiping the tears from her eyes.

Alessia made everything better.

ALESSIA'S P.O.V.

I know Jayden loves Alisha but what I don't know is what Susan has on him and I was sure as hell going to find out.

I told my mom I was going out and was going to be back a bit later.

I got on my bike and rode to Jayden's house.

The rode to his house was a bit tiring but I made.

I came down and knocked on the gate like I was the wife he never had that caught him cheating.

He came out and he looked... Destroyed to say the least.

His eyes were bloodshot like he had been crying and his face looked pale and dark rings under his eyes and he reeked of....  Alcohol?

This is bad....

"Jayden. Jayden this isn't the answer." I say gesturing to his current situation.

He gave me a sad smile and stepped aside for me to go inside.

There were six empty bottles of God knows what kind of alcohol on the table.

"She left me,  Alessia. She left me and it's my fault. If I had just told her about Susan in the first place,  this wouldn't have happened. If I hadn't been such a coward and so afraid of my past then maybe I would have snuck into her room and snuggled up to her by now." he mused.

The small smile that played on my lips at his small confession that I almost forget about the important part of that statement.

"What past, Jayden?" I ask.

His eyes fell but I didn't want to know what it was. Alisha has the right to know first.

"Don't tell me. Tell my sister first." I said.

"You love her. Don't you?" I asked.

"More than you could fucking know. I got that text from her and I went to that class to see her and then it wasn't her.  Susan came and kissed me and started jerking me off. I didn't want any of it. Everything happened so fast and before I could stop her, Alisha came through the door and saw that."he explained.

"Alisha also said something about a text you sent her." I said.

"What? I didn't send her any text." he said.

"She said she got a text from you telling her to meet you in that classroom." I said as the realization hit me like a brick in the face.

"She played mind games with you two. That was what she wanted Alisha to see.  She's good but we have to be even better." I say.

He's still drunk so he doesn't catch on fast so I had to explain to him in more detail.

I've heard that you should talk to drunk people like kids and and vice versa so that's what I did. That took a long time but it was accomplished.

"That fucking whore. She's back to ruin my life again. The first time wasn't enough. I knew I should have gotten that restraining order." he said and I almost laugh.

"Restraining order?"I ask,  genuinely confused and he smiled.

"She loves you Jayden. More than you know so please fix this. I'll help you in any way I possibly can." I say and give him a hug to reassure him before being on my way.

"Thank you, Alessia." he said.

"Anything for you and my sister." I said and went home.

SUSAN'S P.O.V.

I couldn't really believe it.
My plan worked like a charm and they were separated.

Now I just have to play my cards right and do what I have to.

ALISHA'S P.O.V.

I really  couldn't believe that Jayden would do what he did. It just hurt to see him like that.

I would just have to play games of my own till he tells me what really happened.

I want to know everything about him. He shouldn't hide anything from me.

For the first time in six months, my bed feels cold because there's no particular pair of strong hands wrap around me and stay till I fall asleep.

I wrapped my arms around myself but that wasn't enough to keep me warm so I got up to my closet and took out the hoodie Jayden gave me the night he asked me to be his girlfriend.

I cried as I put it on. It didn't fill the hole in my heart but it made me feel close to him somehow and I would have to make do with that for now.

I cried myself to sleep as the images of Jayden and Susan together play in my mind but as quickly as they came, they left when his eyes came up behind my closed eyelids, reassuring me that everything was going to be okay and that's still lives me and never stopped.

Susan is just a night mare or were our days together just the calm before the storm?

A/N:
I really don't know, Alisha but what I can tell you is that Jayden loves you with his whole heart so please don't give up hope.

***
Sorry guys, I had an emotional moment there.

What do you guys think Alessia is planning with Jayden?
How will they get back at Susan?

I really want to know but I hope it'll be worth the wait....

PS I'm sorry for the late update. I had my final exam a few days ago and I had to pay full attention.

And I graduated a few weeks ago as well so yay me!!!
