Chapter 35
It was the end of the day, and I was in front of my locker with Sofie waiting outside for me. Maddie was staying behind since she and Dylan made plans, so the was waiting for him at the field while he practiced. I closed my locker after putting my books back in and taking my school bog
I started making my way outside the school, only for me to be stopped on the way out. Standing right in front of me was Chase, one of Hayden’s : teammates, who has been asking me out for a year now and won’t give up no matter the number of times I have turned him down.
Why doesn’t he just leave me alone! I knew the only reason he was paying this much attention to me was to get me in bed. If you’re wondering how I knew this. Well, I walked in on him talking with one of his teammates, who described me as a piece of meat.
At first, I thought he was cute before finding out his true intentions, I turned him down, thinking he was going to give, but instead here he was again I already have a lot on my plate right now, I didn’t need him to add to it.
“What do you want, Chase?” I asked, sighing quietly. I really wasn’t in the mood to deal with him today.
“Why won’t you just give me a chance? I can make it worth your time,” he said.
I see, it’s the same old bullshit. I’m sure it’s very easy for him to get any other girl, but what I don’t understand is why he was so hell–bent on me saying yes to his ridiculous offer.
“Like I said the million–time Chase, not interested. Now, can you please move,” I atempted to pass by him, but he moved as well
“Come on, Bree, stop being so uptight and live a little. It’s not wrong to have a little bit of fun, if you know what I mean.” He said it in a frustrated
conc.
Why does he think I would ever agree with him? I don’t know what kind of hope he has, but he should lose it right now because I won’t be part of whatever-
Terazy game he was up to.
Tm getting tired of this. Can’t you find someone else! I told you before that I don’t sleep with just anybody, especially a loser like you” I snapped But, annoyed.
“But it’s easy for you to sleep with Hayden, right?” He said, his voice getting harder. “He is just using you, Bree, that’s what he does. Don’t delude yourself into thinking he cares about you because you will end up getting hurt.”
His words went straight to my heart; this was the second time someone was saying this to me about Hayden, First it was Maddie, and now it is Chase. I was worried about the fact that he knew about me and Hayden. How did he find out. We were both careful. So how does he knond
“How do you know about Hayden and me!” I questioned.
He had a cocky smile plastered on his face. “Now where’s the fun in it if I told you how I found out.”“
He went silent for a moment, looking behind me. I turned back to see what he was staring at, but no one was there. I looked back at him with a frown on my face.
He looked at me and said. “It’s best to stay away from Hayden, or you might end up regretting it. He then walked away without saying anything else, leaving me standing there confused
I decided to shrug it off and continue my way out of the school to where Sobe stood waiting. I walked to her car and got in, along with her.
“When do you have your driver’s rest?” she asked, driving our of the school premises,
“Next week, Saturday, 1 answered, turning up her radio.
“I hope you do pass this time.”
“Same here, boo.” I replied, turning up the volume of the radio, when I heard Ice Cream by Selena Gomez and Black Pink
I shake my head, moving my body to the rhythm, and then Sofie and I start singing to the lyrics.
We got to my place in no time, and I got out, waving goodbye to her, and made my way to the front, getting in. My mom wasn’t back yet; she texted that things were a little hectic since she had to help out with a flower decoration for a wedding event happening two days from now. Asher was at a friend’s place, and she told him his friend’s mom would drop him of later.
I made my way upstairs to my room, and 1 dropped my bag on my bed. I made my way to the bathroom to freshen up and change into
comfortable clothes. When I was done, I climbed on my bed, opening my bag to bring out Hayden’s jersey. I stared at it for some time before Golding it into two. I stood to walk to my closet to keep somewhere safe.
I picked my bag off the bed and made my way to my destination, bringing out my homework for that day and starting to do it. I was there for some time till I heard the doorbell ringing. I raced down the stairs to the door, looking out at the peephole before opening it

“Hi, thanks for bringing him home.” I said this to Asher’s friend’s mom.
She said her goodbyes, walking back to her car with her son. I closed the door and turned around to take Asher’s school bag while he took off his
“Did you have fun today? I asked him.
“Yeah, I did: I had a lot of fun he grinned happily
“That’s good, big man. Go and freshen up while I heat up some left–over mac’n’cheese for you.” I said, waving him off the stairs, and I made my way to the kitchen, taking out the food from the kitchen and putting it in the microwave.
me and one for Asher. I opened the fridge to get
I waited till I heard the beep sound, taking out the food. I shared it on two separate plates, one for me an some juice, pouring it into a glass and plastic cup. The biter belongs to Asher.
I set them on the dining table when I heard soft patters making their way to where I was. Asher came to view, and he took a seat, pushing the plate of mac’n’cheese with the cup of juice in front of him, I took a seat at the dining table, and we both are in silence.
I did the dish once we finished eating, then helped Asher with his assistant. We sat in the living room watching Spongebob until my mom came back
I made my way back upstairs to my room, plopping myself down on the bed and drifting off to sleep. When I woke up. I noticed it was already dark outside. I glanced over to my clock. 7:00pm. 1 groaned, getting out of bed 1 stumbled downstairs, throwing myself on the couch where Asher was. Pulling out my phone.
I scrolled through Instagram when my mom came out of the kitchen with an apron tie behind her back.
“Good, you’re awake. Dinner will soon be ready” she says.
“What about dad?” I asked, switching my phone off to look at her.
He still has to stay back at the restaurant, so he will be back late today.” She responded, making her way back to the kitchen to continue making dinner
I laid down, resting my head on Asher’s small lap, and he giggled out. His small hands rested in my hair while his eyes focused on the TV. He was – watching the loud house. Since I had nothing to do. I joined him to watch the cartoon.
“Kids, dinner is ready,” my mom shouted from the kitchen.
I hurriedly stood up from the couch, taking Asher’s hand in mine, and we made our way to the dining room. Today’s dinner consists of pasta and baked chicken. My mouth watered at the sight of it and I took my seat, pushing my plate in front of me.
“Sweetie, your dad will be traveling again this week My mom says she took her seat after helping Asher
I stuffed my mouth with my dinner, chewing slowly. “Where is it going this time?
“Italy, and I’m going with him.”
“Wait… What Why?” asked all at once.
“Hayden’s dad is hosting a party in Italy, and your dad was invited now that they are both partners,” she explains.
“But what does that have to do with you going?”
“Of course I need to go. I was also invited”
“What about Asher and me? Who is going to take care of us!” I asked, emphasizing more on Asher, just in case she had forgotten that they both had two children who needed looking after
“I believe you are mature enough to take care of yourself. Bree. She replied.
“What about Asher?” I pointed at Asher, whose main focus was his food, paying no attention to whatever arguments mom and I were having
“Asher is going with us, she tells me, taking a sip from her glass of wine.
That means I would be staying here alone” I gasped.
That’s all sorted our; you have two options. You either stay with your aunt Vicki or…”
“Hell no.” I eat her off before she finished her statement. “There’s no way I’m staying with Aunt Vick. You know how much I hate going there; I can’t stand critics.” I said it with a shiver.-

“You didn’t let me finish, my mom scolded, lening out a sheepish smile.
What are the second options?” 1 hope its better than the first, I thought to myself. I took a sip of my juice and nearly chocked at her next word.
“You stay with Hayden”
“What?” I whispered
“Either you go to your aunt Vicki’s place or you stay with Hayden. The choice is yours.”
“And dad agreed to let me stay with Hayden, knowing fully well that he is of the opposite sex Fisked, staring intensively at her. She made eye

out a spucal, trying so hard to control herself.
She was definitely up to something.
After dinner, I did the dishes, then ran back to my room. I wasn’t really in the mood to do anything, so I plopped back on my bed, welcoming the wonderland of dreams.
