Dedicated:
To Wattpad for being such a nice website :)
and my boyfriend. Rob, I love you!

This is the work of fiction. Remember that.

My wattpad love.

Four words.
It is unbelievable how four words can change your life. I will never understand
how such little quantity of letters can change your life forever. Phrases like "
I truly love you" or "I really like you" are so powerful and strong; they can wa
rm your heart in a matter of seconds. They can lead you to happiness. But it was
not one of those phrases the one that changed my life. It was a much simpler ph
rase, one I never expected to read.
It was past midnight. I was surfing on the internet like every Saturday night. A
fter finishing a bowl of ice cream by myself, I was hyperactive and couldn't sle
ep. I guess the extra sugar in my system was not really helping. I was lying on
my stomach moving my finger along the pointing device of my Hp laptop. I was sea
rching for stories to read, I ran out of paper books so I decided to try those s
o famous online books. I was not having any success; most of the pages that offe
red the mentioned books were kind of expensive. I would have paid for those book
s that caught my attention but hey, I was seventeen. I barely had money for lunc
h at school. Besides, those websites asked for credit cards and I was really far
away from getting one of those.
Sighing in frustration, I was about to give up when I saw an orange icon and the
word free. I clicked on it and the internet explorer showed me wonderland: Watt
pad. My eyes widened in shock as I read the website's mottos: unlimited stories,

free eBooks, free download for your phone. As I scroll down the page, I discove
red many stories. Many tittles caught my attention. I wanted to read them all. I
could not believe I could read all those amazing stories for free. My heart sta
rted hammering inside my chest in excitement.
For the first few days, I was a silent reader. I didn't have an account so I sim
ply enjoyed reading the stories I liked. But then I felt the need to support t
hose writers who spend hours on their books so I created an account. I was soon
fanning people and commenting on stories to show my support. A month later, I wa
s an addict. I checked wattpad three times per day to see if the stories I was f
ollowing were updated.
"Are you listening to me?" Laura, my best friend, asked as we walked to school o
ne day.
"Huh?" I asked closing the wattpad app on my IPhone.
"You never listen to me, Julie. It's getting on my nerves," she complained walki
ng faster, leaving me behind.
"Lau, wait!" I screamed running after her.
I couldn't help it. Wattpad had become my guilty pleasure. I tried to balance th
ings, you know, hanging out with my friends and spending time on wattpad but it
was hard. However, after a few weeks I managed to find the perfect balance. When
ever I was with my friends, I wouldn't take my IPhone out of my pocket because I
knew if I did I would succumb to the need of checking wattpad.
Anyway, you are probably wondering about those four words that changed my life.
Well, it happened one afternoon after getting home from school. I turned my lapt
op on and immediately logged in wattpad. It was then my eyes caught that phrase.
..
Share your own story.
Four words, seventeen letters... I had always liked writing. I had a few un-fini
shed stories in my laptop but never got the courage to finish them because I was
lazy. Besides, I honestly never thought people would read them. It took me a fe
w days to decide whether to post them or not. Clicking on the upload section and
then on post a new story, I uploaded my first story. To say I was nervous is an
understatement, I was terrified. I would check my mail each five seconds to see
if I got a comment or anything.
After two days of agony, my IPhone buzzed in my pocket. It was an email from wat
tpad "XxxxxX commented on your story" my heart came to a halt. I clicked on the
link and proceeded to read the comment:
"I love it, you should write more! Upload soon!"
I almost jumped in joy as I read it. Someone liked my story; someone had actuall
y read my story and enjoyed it. I was grinning from ear to ear as I replied to h
er comment. I thanked for her for the nice comment. That was how everything star
ted. Those four words had really gotten me into something I loved. I uploaded ch
apter after chapter, gaining more fans and making new friends in the process. Th
at was what I enjoyed the most from wattpad, the fact that I got to meet people
from every corner of the world.
But then it happened. I was lying comfortable on my bed while reading on my IPho
ne when my phone buzzed, announcing I got a mail. Smiling, I clicked the mail op
ened.

"Dark_poet001 sent you a message"

What an interesting username! I thought smiling. I was in such a good mood that
day.
I clicked on the link that would lead me to my message board and frowned as I re
ad the message:
"Your story is really girly, don't you think? It is not good if you ask me, I do
not understand how it is so famous, its plot is not original at all."
My finger froze on my IPhones screen. My good mood went down the drainage. Those
words hurt me like hell. I cannot even describe the way they made feel. I was de
vastated. I had never got such a negative message in the two months I d been on
wattpad. I was sure the page was promoting a friendly environment but there were
definitely people out there who didn t know how to be nice. I went to the profi
le of the person who sent this message and frowned even more.
It was a guy. It was not very common to find males in this site. I read his prof
ile info in silence:
Name: Don t need to know, stalker.
Location: Read the above.
Gender: M
Language: English.
Member since: Dec 2010.
Votes received: 10,859
He had posted two stories and a collection of dark poems. His profile info white
box was empty. He didn t write anything about him. His profile picture was blan
k, literally blank. I struggled not to write insults on his message board. That
would not make things better. I was going to prove him I was more mature and civ
ilized than him. I carefully typed my message:
"Hello there, dark poet.
I understand if you didn t like my story,
but there was no need to be so rude.
Hugs,
Jules."
I pressed the send button. I didn t even get the chance to breathe when my phone
buzzed announcing he had replied. Really? This guy was fast! My eyes narrowed a
t his reply.
@JulesRocks Touched a nerve? ;)
I bit my lower lip in anger and quickly clicked the reply option.
@Dark_poet001 Hey, Im just saying there s not need to be so rude. If you don t li
ke my story just don t read it. Save your rudeness for yourself.
After a few minutes he replied:
@JulesRocks Cut the drama, girly. This is not one of your stories, this is the r
eal world ;p
and that, my friends, was how an epic argument started:

Me: First of all, don t call me girly. I don t know you. Second, Im not being dra
matic. It wouldn t kill you to be nice.
Him: Why would I be nice to you? I don t know you.
Me: Exactly, you don t know me. There is no reason for you to be rude to me.
Him: ;) Whatever, girly.
Me: Don t call me that.
Him: It suits you.
Me: It doesn t! Just be nicer the next time you want to say your opinion about a
story.
Him: Oh, did I hurt your feelings?
Me: Yes.
I thought for a moment he was going to apologize, how stupid of me to think that
!
Him: You want to cry on my shoulder, girly? ;)
Me: Can t you just apologize?
Him: Nope.
Me: I give up. Just don t talk to me ever again.
Him: Aww you re breaking my heart, girly. Can t you see?
Me: Shut up! Being sarcastic is not really helping.
Him: I think it is ;)
Me: Why are you so mean to me?
Him: Because.
Me: Because...?
Him: No reason :)
Me: Just stay away from me.
Him: You are the one who s on my profile. Leave, stalker.
Me: I am not stalking you. I came here to see if we could get to an agreement. I
want you to understand that your rude messages hurt people.
Him: Blah blah blah.
Me: You are....
Him: Can t think of a proper insult, Mrs. Strawberry?
Me: Strawberry? What the...

Him: Yeah, you re like a strawberry. Your stories are so cheesy.

Me: You are unbelievable.
Him: Thanks ;)
Me: It was not a compliment!
Him: it was for me ;)
Me: I m out of here.
Him: Go, shoo! You re staining my page with your pink fingertips and strawberry
s smell.
I got out of his page fuming. This guy was unbelievable! He had no manner or res
pect for people. I could feel my heart beating desperately inside my chest. Arg!
I buried my face in my pillow and growled in anger. He really got on my nerves.
How could he be so rude? My phone buzzed and I slowly checked the screen. It wa
s a new mail.
"Dark_poet001 sent you a private message"
I clicked on it and frowned reading it:
"It was nice talk to you, Mrs. Strawberry. This is not over :)"
I squeezed my fists. Oh, it s on!
X - X
That was the first chapter.
Next chapter will be more exciting, I promise.
Hugs, Arix.
Chapter 02 >>
A/N: Thank you guys for the support! I just want you to know the chapters for th
is story will be kind of short. And there ll be a lot of chat dialogue so if it
s not your thing, I understand! Love u all, Arix!

My Wattpad Love

"Julie..." a low whisper dragged me out of sleep. I opened my eyes slowly, my s

ight was blurred for a few seconds but it quickly adjusted to my surroundings. T
he first thing I saw was my bed. It was a few meters away; the purple sheets wer
e perfectly fixed.
Wait...if my bed was so far away, then where was I sleeping? As if my mind wante

d to reply, pain shot through my neck. It was then I realized my face was lying
on my laptop s keyboard; I was sitting in front of my desk. I got my face off th
e keyboard, my cheek stung, I was sure I had letters marked on my skin.
"Ow," I exclaimed rubbing my neck. How I managed to sleep in such uncomfortable
position, I had no idea. I couldn t even remember falling asleep in the first pl
ace. My room was only lightened up by the small lamp on my night stand.
"Julie," the same voice repeated and I scanned my room to find it empty. I frown
ed. What the-"Julie," the voice sounded more urgent this time. I was still halfsleep. I got up and started walking like a zombie towards my window. My house wa
s a two-story one so my room was on the second floor. There was a big full moon
on the sky "Julie!" I took a look outside but found nothing so I lifted my gaze
to the sky "Julie,"
"God?" I asked scared. But then, a flying rock hit my forehead "Ow!"
"Wake up! Damn it!" I held my forehead and looked down at my garden frowning.
"Jason?" I scowled at him. He was standing behind a bush between my mother s flo
wers. He was my best friend since kinder garden "What the hell! You hit me!" I w
hined rubbing my forehead.
"Throw the sheet, I need to talk to you," Jason usually sneaked in my house. I w
ould throw a prepared sheet and he would climb it like a monkey. My window was n
ot really high anyway.
"What? Are you out of your mind? It s..." I trailed off; I didn t know what time
it was "It s late!" I finished unsure.
"It s an emergency,"
"What type of emergency?
"Type Y," my eyes widened. Jason and I had created some
of emergency went from V to Z. Believe me, Y was a very

"What happened?"
"I need a condom," I gasped as his blunt reply.
"What?! Are you serious?" I asked exasperated.
"It s an emergency!" he exclaimed with pleading eyes.
"That is not an emergency! Buy your own condoms, you cheap whore!" I slapped his
shoulder.
"Please, Jules, please," he begged.
"No,"
"Come on! It s not like you re using them anyway,"
"Get out," I stated pushing him to the window.
"The drug store is closed. You know there s no other place where I can get condo

she made sure to provide me with a big quantity of c
to Jason. He caught them in midair and grinned at me

"Stop using the emergency code for these types of things," I said folding my arm
s across my chest. Jason held my face and kissed my forehead.
"I love you, you re the best friend ever," and with that he climbed out of my wi
ndow. Yawning, I got on my bed. My IPhone was under my pillow; I grasped it and
checked my mails. I hadn t bothered on replying earlier to that rude boy from wa
ttpad. I was too busy writing a chapter for one of my stories when I d fallen sl
eep. It was 2:30 am. Wow, I should be sleeping. Curiosity filled my veins so I w
ent to his profile. His last status was 28 minutes ago. I scowled at his words:
Cleaning out my message board, it had pink fingerprints everywhere, Ew!
He had to be kidding me! What the hell was wrong with him? Could he just let it
go? I touched the private message he d sent me to open it. Quickly, I started ty
ping a message to him.
Can you just let it go?
I pressed send and almost jumped in surprised when my IPhone buzzed. Jeez, that
boy was fast!
Him: No.
Me: What s your problem?
Him: You are my problem.
Me: Why?
Him: Because.
I growled in frustration and was about to reply when he sent another message.
Him: What are you doing?
Me: Like I would tell you that.
Him: It s late where you live.

Me: How do you know?

Him: you wrote it on your profile. You are not really bright, are you?
Me: Stalker much?
Him: Technically, you are stalking me. You are the one getting in my profile and
you messaged me first.
Me: No, you messaged me first!
Him: Whatever. You didn t answer my question.
Me: Why do you want to know what I m doing?
Him: Just curious.
Me: Freak.
Him: Strawberry girl.
Me: Stop calling me that!
Him: Make me.
Me: You are impossible!
Him: Thanks ;)
Me: My God, it was not a compliment!
Him: I know. So are you doing something you shouldn t? >=)
Me: What do you mean?
Him: You don t want to tell me what you re doing so I m going to start assuming
things.
Me: What?

Him: Are you watching porn?

Me: No! Are you out of your mind?!
Him: then what are you doing up? It s 2:54 am where you live.
Me: I was just... helping a friend.
Him: At this time?
Me: Yeah
Him: A male friend?
Me: That s not of your business.
Him: ;)
Curiosity kept filling my veins so I decided to ask him something.
Me: Whats your name?
Him: Darkpoet001 :)
Me: No, I mean your real name.
Him: Why do you want to know, Mrs. Strawberry?
Me: Dear God! Stop calling me that!
Him: Or what? You will hug me to death and throw strawberry pies at me? ;)
Me: You are unbelievable!
Him: I know ;)
Me: Im out of here. I don t know why I waste my time talking to you.
Him: That hurt!

Me: Right, bye!

Before I could put my IPhone away he replied:
My name is Evan :) Night, Sweet Jules.

Thanks for the great support! Love you, guys!

My Wattpad Love

"Julie Anne Jones!" I jumped awake, blinking quickly trying to clear my blurred
sight. My mother s angry voice had the power of waking me up in one second. The
morning sunlight was coming through the window. Shoot! I was probably late for s
chool. I heard my mother s coming footsteps and clumsily tried to get out of my
bed, key word here: Tried. My legs entangled with my sheets so I ended falling f
orwards to the floor. It was a good thing, I had reflexes otherwise my face woul
d have crashed into cold surface if I hadn t got my hands on it first. I tried t
o stand but the damn sheet wouldn t let go of my leg. My door was swung opened,
and there she stood: Carla Jones, my sweet mother, well Sweet wasn t an adject
ive that suited her in that moment.
"Hi," I greeted nervously. She folded her arms across her chest, giving me a dis
approving look.
"Can you explain to me, why my daughter is still on bed on a Mondays morning?"
"Technically, I m not on my bed," I defended pointing the floor beneath me.
"Very funny," she faked a laugh "Be ready in five minutes, Julie. I won t allow
you to be late for school,"
"Five minutes?" I whined.
"Time is running,"
"But-"
"And you have no time for breakfast. You ll eat a nutritional biscuit on the way
,"

"Mom!"
"Four minutes," I groaned and quickly moved to my closet. My mother was a nice p
erson but she was very strict and disciplined. I attributed it to her career. Me
dical School was tough. She graduated from it when I was nine, I knew it d been
hard for her to take care of me and attend to Medical school at the same time. B
ut she had no choice. We were on our own. My father was a huge blur for me. I ba
rely remembered seeing him when I was a child. He left us, Mom never explained t
o me why. It was a delicate theme for her. Even though, she had a temper I d lea
rn to love her just the way she was. She always went by the rules and God saves
me if I did something wrong or didn t follow her commands.

The ride to school was silent, which was rare; my mother usually attacked me wit
h her doctor s babbling about my unhealthy sleep time. I was more of a night per
son, if you haven t noticed. I watched through the window as the trees rushed by
. It was then I remembered him.
Evan...
I couldn t help but wonder what he was doing right now. Was he sleeping? Why was
I thinking about him this early in the morning anyway? He was just some annoyin
g rude boy I met on the internet. But he intrigued me, I couldn t deny it.
My IPhone buzzed in my jacket s pocket and I jumped in surprise. My mother glanc
ed at me coldly and quickly, her eyes were back on the road. I sighed, she was o
bviously mad at me. Checking my phone, I couldn t stop the smile that crept to m
y lips. It was a mail from wattpad.
I can t remove your disgusting strawberrys scent from my wall. Bah!
Evan s message made me chuckle. Even though, he was discretely insulting me. Aga
in. I couldn t help finding funny his entire Mrs. Strawberry thing. For some rea
son, I didn t feel insulted by it anymore. I quickly typed a reply:
You couldn t stop yourself for messaging me, could you?
By the time he replied, I was already out of my mother s car and heading to the
school s entrance. Dozens of teenagers were gathering around while others were e
ntering the school.

Him: Don t flatter yourself, girly. I m just bored.

Me: Yeah, right. You were bored so you decided to talk to the writer you hate,
that doesn t make any sense.
Him: It does to me ;)
Me: You re so weird.

Him: So I ve been told.

Me: You still owe an apology, you know that, right?
Him: An apology? Psst, what would I apology for?
Me: Well, for many things but your rude message about my story is what comes to
mind right now.
Him: I won t apologize for being honest. Your story is cheesy, admit it and move
on.
Me: Honesty? You call that honesty?
Him: Yeah.
Me: I don t even know why I waste my time on you.
Him: Neither do I.
I narrowed my eyes at my IPhones screen. He was such a jerk! I was about to reply
when I crashed into someone s hard chest. Strong hands caught me saving me from
a painful fall on my ass. Manly cologne s hit my nostrils and I looked up. My j
aw almost dropped to the floor in shock and I could feel the blood filling my ch
eeks. I was in the arms of Shane Mason, the school s popular golden boy. His haz
el eyes were looking right into my blue ones paralyzing me. His blond brownish h
air was messy in a sexy way. His perfect features were envied by most of the guy
s in this school and worshipped by the entire female population.
I didn t know what to say, well, true was I couldn t say anything. I was shocked
by the fact that this beautiful boy was holding me. Shane smirked at me arrogan
tly, probably thinking I was dazzled, which I was but I quickly tried to put on
a careless facade. I cleared my throat.
"You should watch where you re going," he said curtly, letting go of me. I stumb
led backwards and lifted my chin, trying to maintain my dignity "You should also
comb your hair, have you ever heard of hairbrush?" my mouth was opened in shock
. How dare he! I was a shy person but if you mess with my hair, you mess with my
life. Let s just say, it s a sensitive subject for me since the day my first sc
hool s boyfriend dumped me because my hair was ugly. I was ten when that happene
d but it still marked me.

"Have you ever heard of manners?" I retorted folding my arms across my chest.
"Oh, it speaks!" he exclaimed in mock surprise. I glared at him and stepped asid
e to walk past him. Successfully, I managed to take five steps away when he spok
e again from behind, "I think this belongs to you," I glanced at him, ok more li
ke glared at him over my shoulder. My eyes widened when I spot the black phone i
n his hand: My IPhone. I rushed towards him and went to snatch it from his hand
but he raised it, keeping the phone out of my reach.
"Give it back," I demanded as I jumped as high as I could. The bastard was so ta
ll that he didn t even look preoccupied by my futile attempts of getting my phon
e back.

He stared at me, amusement plastered on his face.

"Do my math homework and I will give it back,"
"What?" I asked in disbelief.
"You heard me,"
"I will not do such a thing!" Didn t he know I was almost failing math? I wasn t
really good with numbers, wait... "You think I m a nerd?" I asked touching my o
wn chest. He shrugged his shoulders.
"Aren t you?" I shook my head.
"No, now, give me my phone back,"
"Nope, you have to be a nerd otherwise why would you come to school looking so..
.unfeminine? I mean, those baggy pants and t-shirt don t fit you. Anyone could m
istake you for a boy," to say I felt insulted was an understatement. My face hea
ted in anger and I clenched my fists. The next thing I did was something I would
remember for the rest of my life... no, it was something I d remember even in t
he afterlife: I slapped Shane Mason. My palm hit his left cheek hard, he was dum
bfounded. Taking advantage of his reaction, I snatched my phone away and ran awa
y like a crazy person.
I spent the rest of the day, watching my back. I felt like a ninja, checking eve
ry corner I was about to cross, hiding behind books and cafeteria s trays. I had
a gut feeling that Shane wasn t going to let this go. In my defense, he earned
that slap by pulse. I still couldn t believe I had done that, I wasn t a violent
person but he really pushed my buttons.
"Julie, what s going on?" Laura, my best friend, asked as we headed to our chemi
stry class. I was keeping my bag against my face, covering myself.
"Hum, I m in trouble,"
"Why?"
"I hit someone,"
"What?" Laura sounded surprised. Like I said, I wasn t a violent person and she
knew that
"Who? What happened?"
"Shane," I whispered so low that for a moment I thought Laura didn t catch it.
"Shane? As in Shane Mason? Hot Shane?"
"Uhum," I nodded.
"Really?" she stopped walking and got on my way, facing me "Tell me exactly what
happened," I opened my mouth to reply when my phone buzzed in my pockets.
"Ill tell you later," I offered as I checked my phone. My face brightened up when
I saw it was an email from wattpad but I frowned when I saw it was a comment on
my one of my stories. Don t get me wrong, I loved the comments my fans leave an
d I read each one of them smiling like an idiot. It was just that I hoped it was
a message from Evan. My phone buzzed again and I couldn t help grinning like an
idiot when I saw it was a message from him. Did he read my mind or something?

Him: Boo.
Me: You really can t survive without me, can you? :)
Him: Nah, I just enjoy annoying you.
Me: Right.
Him: I have the hope I can persuade you into writing good stuff instead of chees
y novels.
Me: My stories are not cheesy! Stop saying that!
Him: They are, someday, you ll admit it.
Me: Whatever.
Him: ;)
Me: Why do you keep messaging me? It s obvious you don t like me.
Him: I told you. You entertain me.
Me: How?
Him: What color is your underwear?
I could feel my cheeks turning bright red as I replied:
Me: You are a pervert!
Him: I bet my PS3 that you are blushing right now. See? That s how you entertain
me, you re a predictable girl.
Me: You don t know me!
Him: I know enough about you.
Me: What s that supposed to mean?
I scowled and felt stupid because he couldn t see my face.
Him: Writers always leave pieces of their selves in their stories. So basically,
by reading your stories i know a lot about you.
Me: My characters are not real.
Him: But they all have a piece of you.
I didn t know what to say to that. He was probably right.
Me: You re weird.
Him: No, Im smart. Do you want me to prove it to you?
Me: ????
Him: You are a shy girl. You prefer being on your computer because you re afraid
of the real world. You like reading and writing (Obvious two but needed to poin
t them out) you don t have a father; he left you when you were a child or someth

ing like that. Your mother has a stressing career; she s probably a lawyer or a
doctor. You don t have many friends, you don t like being wrong. You don t let m
any people get closer to you because you are afraid they will leave you like you
r father did. And lastly, you don t have a boyfriend,"
I was utterly and simply shocked.
How on Earth did he know all that? Was he a stalker?
Me: Are you stalking me?
Him: Nope, I m a very observant person. I ve got all that personal information b
y reading your stories.
Me: That s impossible.
Him: No, it s called intelligence.
Me: You are weird, indeed.
Him: thank you ;)
Me: How old are you?
Him: why? :)
Me: I don t know... you just seem...
Him: Older than you? Yes, I am.
Me: So?
Him: Does it matter?
Me: Yeah, I want to know if you re a creepy old man.
Him: Ha-ha, no, I m not a pedophile so don t worry.
Me: Why are you talking to me?
Him: Because you are the opposite of me.
Me: What do you mean?
Him: Gotta go, talk you later, peachy girl.
Me: Oh great! Another pet name!
Him: you know you love them ;)
Me: Whatever, creep.
Him: ;) Bye.
For some reason, I felt lonely after I was done talking to him. It still surpris
ed me how much he seemed to know about me. Not even Jason or Laura knew that muc
h about me. I mean, they didn t know how scared I was of the real world. They di
dn t know I was hiding behind my shell to protect myself. They only thought I wa
s just a closed person. Evan was still a jerk and very rude to me but somehow he
had softened. Or maybe I was just getting used to his rude replies.

I shoved my phone inside my pocket and the bell rang. Id had only one class left
and I would be free to go. I would be able to leave this school unharmed. Yeah,
I really hoped I didn t run into Shane on my way to my next class. It was easy,
just two more hours and I d be safe at home. Something in my gut told I was not
going to get away so easily.
And I d been right.

Love,

- Chapter 04 -

After the torment that was gymnastics, I was finally heading out of school. Mom
had texted me, saying she was going to be a little bit late so I was doomed to w
ait for her out in the cold. Even when winter was almost gone, the cold breeze w
as still whipping our town. I sat on a nearby bench and sighed watching students
getting in their cars and chatting. I couldn t believe I had slapped someone as
popular as Shane and got away with it.
Being really bored, I got on wattpad and started checking my favorite discussion
s on the clubs. I would always spend time talking and sharing opinions with peop
le there. It was then an idea occurred to me. I clicked on Evan s profile and en
tered his poetry collection. I wanted to know more about him. I read his poems a
nd tears sprung to my eyes. They were so sad, and they were so well written that
they got to my heart quickly. His username made more sense now "Darkpoet001" hi
s poems were dark but they were also extremely sad.
Motivated by curiosity, I clicked on one of his two stories. It was a thriller s
tory about some murders and stuff like that, I d read it later so I clicked on t
he other one. I opened my mouth surprised. It was about a boy, a lonely boy. The
prologue described his sad thoughts about the world. Wanting to know more, I tr
ansported myself into the story as I read it in silence.
The main character was so deep and thick, that I found myself very intrigued by
him. The story developed in college, basically emphasizing all the steps the mai
n character had to take to overcome his difficulties. He had lost his family and

the love of his life. God, this boy

in the parking lot. I didn t notice a figur

Someone coughed obviously trying to get my attention but I ignored it. I needed
to know what Josh, the main character, was to say to his former girlfriend. My p
hone was taken from my hands in a quick move.
"Hey!" I exclaimed looking up "Uh-oh," I met Shane s hazel eyes; they held a gli
nt of anger. I swallowed.
"You owe me an apology," he stated coldly.
"Me?" I aimed a finger to me innocently.
"Yeah, you,"
"You insulted me! You deserved what you got," I said standing up "give me my pho
ne back,"
"Don t mess with me, Jones," he pronounced my last name slowly.
"Are you threatening me?" I scowled at him as he stepped closer to me. Worrying
about my safety, I backed away. His lips formed a wicked grin.
"Hit me again and you ll see,"
"See what?" I was not going to let him intimidate me. He grabbed my arm rudely p
ulling me to him. I struggled to release myself "Let me go!"
"You are so..." he stated as he stared at me in silence.
"Insult me again and I swear-"
"Beautiful," I gasped and couldn t help the blush filling my cheeks but then he
laughed. I frowned as he let me go and gave me my phone back. He continued to la
ugh for a while "You should...have...your... face..." he said among his laughter
. So it was a joke? Why didn t it surprise me? Of course, a guy like him would n
ever think I was beautiful. I simply glared at him and felt relief when I spotte
d my mother s car. I walked past Shane but he grabbed my arm again stopping me "
What s your name?" Oh Great, he knew my last name but not my name, so classy.
"Megan Fox," I replied sarcastically.
"You wish you were that hot," he said sternly. I slapped his hand and smiled at
him.
"You wish you knew my name," and with that I walked off. Unfortunately for me, m
y triumphal exit didn t last long. I didn t notice the parked car on my way and
crashed into it with a thud
"Ow!" my knee received all the damage. I jumped on one foot while rubbing my kne
e "Ow, ow, Ow" Shane approached to me chuckling,
"Nice exit, Jones," he commented amused.
"Shut up!" I exclaimed putting my hurt feet on the ground again. I started limpi
ng towards my mother s car. I got inside and slammed the door closed. My mother

gave me a confused look but drove off in silence. I guess she was still mad at m
e.
I spent the rest of the afternoon reading Evan s sad story. I wondered if that h
ad really happened to him because it was really tragic. According to his story,
her girlfriend had chosen his best friend over him. How could she do that? Why d
id I care so much anyway? It was probably just fiction, but something in my gut
told Evan had had a difficult life. I didn t know how I knew this but I just sen
sed it. I was lying on my back, my laptop was resting on my belly. I was reading
peacefully on wattpad, my eyes landed on the chat box. I had a new instant mess
age. I smiled like a fool when I read the username "Darkpoet001" he had to be my
fan otherwise there was no way he could appear in my chat box.
Him: ....
Me: What?
Him: Hello, peachy girl.
I rolled my eyes at his new nickname for me.
Me: Hello, freak.
Him: :) How are you?
Me: Good and you?
Him: Great ;) I had a dream about you.
Me: Really?
I asked in disbelief. Why was he being so nice? Maybe he was tired of being a je
rk. My assumptions could not have been more wrong!
Him: Yeah, I killed you in my dream.
Me: so sweet! (Note sarcasm)
Him: Nah, I didn t kill you. It was not nice dream though.
Me: Why?
Him: Because you were in it :/
Me: -.Him: It was a nightmare, but oh well, how was your day?
Me: Hm, not good.
Him: Why?
Me: I slapped someone.
Him: hahaha really?
Me: Yeah, it s not funny. Now I got an angry arrogant boy on my tail.
Him: why did you slap him? Did he kiss you?

Me: What? No!

Him: Then...?
Me: He insulted me.
Him: Oh, you need a shoulder to cry on? ;)
Me: No.
Him: Bah, I m being nice here.
Me: You call this being nice? Your niceness sucks!
Him: You hurt my feelings.
Me: Yeah right
Him: haha did you finish stalking my profile?
Me: Psst, I wasn t stalking your profile
Him: You are not a good stalker. If you were going to read my stories and poems,
trying to figure me out, you shouldn t have voted for them. It s all in my news
feed ;)
"Damn!" I cussed aloud. I was such an idiot!
Me: I don t know what you re talking about.
Him: Whatever, girly.
Me: Again with the nicknames -.-*
Him: You know you love them.
Me: I don t!
Him: You do :)
I was about to type a reply when my door swung opened crashing against the wall.
My window shook for the impact.
"I have returned!" Jason exclaimed pretending a British accent. He walked inside
my room like he owned the place. I stared at him in silence. He looked rejuvena
ted and radiant. I guess he d had a wild night. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"You have a sign on your forehead that says I had sex all night " I commented.
"I had, indeed," I rolled my eyes.
"Stop it with the accent, it doesn t suit you,"
"Someone s cranky," he pointed me and grinned "but do not worry, my lady," he bo
wed keeping his eyes on me "I am here to brighten your day,"
"I m perfectly fine,"
"No, you re not. I heard you got on a fight with Shane this morning,"

"What? I didn t get on a fight with him. I just slapped him," Jason took his shi
rt off and fanned himself. Then, he threw himself on my bed, causing it to quave
r at the sudden invasion.
"Oh rumors," Jason shook his head disapprovingly "why did you slap him?"
"He insulted me," I said absently while my eyes landed on my laptop again. I had
two new instants messages from Evan.
Him: Mrs. Strawberry?
You there?
Me: Kind of, my best friend s over.
Him: Oh, talk to you later then :)
Me: Yeah, sure.
"What are you doing?" Jason crawled closer to peak on my laptop s screen; I clos
ed it on his face.
"Nothing," I gave him a closed mouth smile. He narrowed his green eyes at me.
"What are you hiding?" he looked curious.
"Nothing," I replied too quickly. He looked into my eyes.
"Jules..."
"Jason..." we usually got into this staring contest. Jason s eyes widened.
"Oh my God! You are watching porn!" he exclaimed in disbelief.
"What?! No! Why would I... no!"
"Then let me see,"
"No,"
"Jules.." he menaced "let me see,"
"I am talking to someone, alright?" I admitted blushing slightly.
"Is it a boy?" I nodded "Are you blushing? Ah! Thank God, I was starting to worr
y about your sexuality," I punched his shoulder hard "Ow! Dont blame me; you have
n t had a proper boyfriend in years!"
"Yeah but that doesn t mean I m a lesbian,"
"Sorry," he grinned at me "So who is it?"
"Jason, stop it. He is just... an acquaintance,"
"But you like him,"
"No, I hate him, and I m sure the feeling is mutual,"

"Who could possibly hate you? You re as sweet as a peach," a smile crept to my l
ips as I remembered that was Evan s new nickname for me: Peachy girl.
"Where were you last night?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"Oh, I was with Helen," I glared at him.
"You were with that sl-" Jason covered my mouth.
"No insults, Jules. She is my friend,"
"Friend? Your definition of friend is sickly wrong. Friends don t screw each oth
er,"
"Well, she s my special friend," he corrected.
"Whatever, but the next time you appear on my window in the middle of the night
and ask me for condoms. I will murder you and feed you to the dog,"
"You don t have a dog," Jason chuckled.
"I could get one," Jason laughed and pinched my nose.
"You re so cute when you try to look angry,"
"I am angry. You scared the hell out of me last night, not to mention the fact,
you hit me with a rock,"
"Sorry about that,"
"Say that to the bruise on my forehead,"
"You don t have a bruise. Don t be dramatic, Jules,"
"Fine, just don t do it again," Jason looked guilty for a moment.
"Actually, I was wondering..."
"Oh no, no, no, don t tell me you re here for condoms," his guilty expression to
ld me everything "Oh my God! Get out, Jason,"
"Please! I m short on money and I m seeing Helen tonight,"
"Again? What are you? A freaking rabbit?"
"Jules, please,"
"No!"
"Come on, it s not like you paid for them. Your mother gave you tons of them,"
"That doesn t mean I have to maintain your sex life. I m not your pimp," I expla
ined exasperated. Jason pouted and looked at me with puppy eyes.
"You cannot let your best friend get a STD or

Chapter 05
"Mom, wait," I whispered panicked as she stalked towards Jason.
"Mrs. Jones, I can explain," Jason started sitting up. I dropped the condoms and
approached to her.
"Mom, it s not wha-" Bam! She slapped Jason right across the face. My jaw droppe
d to the floor in shock.
"F*ck!" Jason exclaimed rubbing his cheek "What the-"
"No cussing, mister!" she menaced placing her hands on her hips "I cannot believ
e this, I am so disappointed,"
"Jeez! Mom, it s not what it looks like! I was just-" my mother turned to me.
"You were just what? Come on, keep talking. Enlighten me!" she said sarcasticall
y. Her eyes were barely narrowed, a sign that she was really angry. I swallowed.
"I was... he needs condoms but he s not going use them with me," I grimaced at t
he thought "He s short on money and since I have so many condoms, I was just goi
ng to give him some," my mother raised an eyebrow skeptically.
"And he needs to be shirtless to get them?" I opened my mouth to reply but she c
ut me off "You expect me to believe that?"
"It s the truth, mom. I swear, I m still a virgin" I said frankly. She stared at
me for a moment before looking at Jason.

"Is that the truth?" She asked him seriously. Jason nodded frantically.
"Yes, maa m," mom sighed.
"I hope you two are being honest here because if I find out you are sharing flui
ds-"
"Mom!" I screamed disgusted. Sharing fluids? Who the fudge says that? She gave m
e a closed mouth smile and then became deadly serious.

"I am watching you," she said aiming her fingers at her eyes and then at us, "So
behave," she ordered walking to the door "and you," she glanced at Jason "come
on, go home now,"
"But-"
"I don t want you around Jules for today," Jason sighed and put his shirt on,

"Fine," he mumbled and grabbed a few condoms from the floor before heading to th
e door,
"Who is she?" my mother started interrogating him as they walked out of the room
. She closed the door behind them, poor Jason. I really didn t want to imagine t
he things mom would ask him or tell him. I didn t even want to go there.
"Sharing fluids," I whispered shaking my head. If there was a prize for the most
awkward disgusting phrases, mom would win easily. She had this great ability to
come up with the most awkward lines I d heard in my life. Maybe, she got that f
rom being a doctor, I don t know but thanks God I didn t inherit it.

Crawling back to bed, I took my laptop, opened it and placed it on my lap. My ch

at box was collapsed. Jeez, I had many messages from friends and fans from wattp
ad. But my eyes searched for one single username: Evan s. I clicked on Darkpoet0
01 and started typing.
Me: I m back :) Him: I can tell, Me: ?? Him: Yeah, your cloying smell alerted me
of your presence.
Me: Cloying smell? What the hell?
Him: ;)
Me: What are you doing?
Him: Reading.
Me: What are you reading?
Him: "How to get rid of a cheesy writer" :D
Me: -.- Hilarious.
Him: Bah, you lack sense of humor.

Me: Hum, I read your story.

I had to ask him about it. Curiosity was killing me.
Him: So?
Me: Did it happen to you?
Him: No.
Me: It s written with so much passion that I thought it was a true story... the
story of your life.
Him: I said no. Drop it.
Me: It s real, isn t it?
Him: Are you blind? I said no. It s fiction; get it inside that small skull of y
ours.
Me: Why are you getting angry then?
Him: I m not angry.
Me: Yes, you are.
Him: How would you know that? You cannot see me.
Me: I can feel it.
Him: You re wrong. I m perfectly fine.
Me: Did you lose your parents in a car accident?
I asked him because that was what happened to the main character in his story. H
e didn t reply for a while.
Him: Jules, drop it.
Me: Why can t you just tell me?
Him: Just f*cking drop it!
Me: Evan... I just want to know, I want to help you.
Him: Help me? Don t act like you know me.
Me: You re right. I don t know you but that doesn t mean I don t want to know mo
re about you.
Him: Why?
Me: I m curious.
Him: I have to go.
Me: Fine, be a coward. Run away.
Him: A coward? You dare to call me a coward?

Me: You re being a coward right now. Running away so you don t have to deal with
the pain.
Him: Pain? What the hell are you talking about?
Me: The pain of losing your parents.
Him: It s not real! It s a fiction story, get it? I am not related in any way to
that character.
Me: I don t believe you.
Him: I don t care.
Me: Writers always leave pieces of their selves in their stories. You said it yo
urself.
Him: That is not my case.
Me: Isn t it?
Darkpoet001 logged off.
Did he just leave? Maybe, he was right. I should just drop it but I couldn t. I
don t know how but I knew Evan needed someone to talk to. In his story, the main
character always wished he had someone to talk to, to tell his fears and let th
e pain out.
Maybe I was thinking too much about it, he was right. Not all the stories are ba
sed on true stories. Writers write about what they know and their characters may
have resembles with their life but it doesn t have to be entirely real. Then wh
y did I have this gut feeling Evan s life was as tragic as his character s? I fr
owned when Evan s chat box appeared with a green spot. He was online again.
Him: My parents are dead. I don t want to talk about it.
Me: Oh... okay. I m sorry.
Him: And if you feel pity for me, don t, I m fine.
Me: Okay but if you want to talk...
Him: I don t.
Me: Alright.
He didn t reply for a while. Was it weird that I could feel the tension even whe
n we weren t facing each other? Yeah, it was but I really needed to say somethin
g to lighten our conversation.
Me: You were right.
Him: About what?
Me: I m a cheesy writer.
Him: You re admitting it?
Me: Yeah

Him: Finally, you realized it :)

Me: But there s nothing wrong about writing cheesy novels. I m a hopeless romant
ic, I love writing sweet love stories. I love writing about happiness and true l
ove. Life is not just about tragedy and sadness. I like to focus on the good sid
e of life. There s nothing wrong with that.
Him: It s unrealistic.
Me: What s the point of writing about tragedy? It ll do not good to anyone. Love
stories give people hope.
Him: False hopes.
Me: How can you know that? I believe in soul mates.
Him: Of course, you believe in that bullsh*t.
Me: It s not bullsh*t. It s true.
Him: Love does not exist much less soul mates.
Me: Love exist.
Him: Right, true love is in the air, just like the love your father felt for you
r mother when he left her.
My heart sank in my chest. That was a low blow. inevitably, Tears sprung to my e
yes. I held them back, I wouldn t let him get to me.
Me: You re just a coward. You hide behind all those dark poems and thoughts beca
use it s easier that way. why don t you face the pain, huh?
Him: I m perfectly fine.
Me: Liar!
him: I m not lying.
Me: Coward.
Him: I am not a coward.
Me: Prove it.
Him: I don t have to prove anything to you.
Me: Coward.
Him: Stop.
Me: Coward.
Him: I am not a coward! My father killed my mother right in front of my freaking
eyes! And then shot himself. I don t even know how I m surviving so don t you d
are calling me a coward after all I m doing to keep going.
My mouth hung opened in shock. I was speechless. I thought they d died in a car
s accident like in his story.

Him: Don t say you re sorry. I hate it.

Me: I don t know what to say.
Him: Don t say anything. I m fine.
Me: I wish I could give you a hug.
I regretted sending that but I felt the need to let him know I wanted to help hi
m.
Him: Ew! Don t tell me you have a crush on me :) I ll puke.
I smiled sadly at his futile attempt to change the subject but went along with i
t.
Me: Pffft! Never.
Him: I know I m hot and all but seriously you re too sweet for me.
Me: Too sweet? Haha oh please, YOU are too dark for me.
Him: I m just realistic. You re painfully hopeful and cloyingly sweet, girly.
Me: We re opposites then.
Him: Yes and I hope you don t believe in that crap about opposites attract.
Me: Nah, I don t.
Him: Good :)
Me: Can I tell you something?
Him: Yeah.
Me: I know you re trying to avoid the subject and I understand you don t want to
talk about it. I just want you to know that I think you are amazing because you
keep going after going through something so painful and traumatic. I admire you
, you should be proud of yourself. And if writing sad poems and stories helps yo
u deal with the pain, I completely understand. I guess life needs both sides, th
e good sappy one and the dark tragic one. There s absolutely nothing I can say t
o make you feel better. I m merely an acquainted for you but I just wanted to sa
y this :) You re still an arrogant jerk though.
Him: You actually made me smile with your mild speech, peachy girl.
Me: I m glad I did.
Him: I better go to sleep.
Me: Sleep? It s like 8 pm.
Him: It s not that time where I live.
Me: Where do you live?
Him: Like I would tell you that, stalker.
Me: Right.

Him: Listen to this song "I don t care" by Apocalyptica.

Me: Why? Him: Just do it, night.
Me: Night, Evan.
Him: And Jules?
Me: Yeah?
Him: Thank you :)

I couldn t help smiling like a fool. I felt like I had helped him somehow. I e
ntered youtube and searched for the song he told me. I put my headphones on and
I rested my back against the head board. a soft melody started playing until the
singer began,
"I try to make it through my life, in my way, there s you
I try to make it through these lies, and that s all I do"
I frowned. This song sounded so much like him,
"Just don t deny it,
Don t try to fight this ,and deal with it
and that s just part of it,"
I frowned in confusion.
"If you
I don t
Just go
Cause I

were dead or still alive

care, I don t care
and leave this all behind
swear (I swear),I don t care"

I couldn t stop myself from chuckling. I knew it wouldn t be anything sweet. Was
this his way of telling me he didn t care about me?
"I try to make you see my side
Always trying to stay in line
But your eyes see right through
That s all they do,"
My heart started beating faster in my chest. Why was I feeling as if he was si
nging this song to me? As if he had dedicated it to me? It couldn t be possible
. He was just trying to tease me about the entire I don t care thing, right?
"Love changing everything
You won t be left for me"
I closed my laptop and took my headphones off. I could feel butterflies in my st
omach and my heart was menacing to jump out of my chest. What was wrong with me?
Why was I reacting like this to a song? why was I reacting like this at the tho
ught of him dedicating it to me? I didn t know him. He was just someone I d chat
ted with a couple of times.
"Silly Jules," I whispered to myself and got out of bed. I walked to my drawers
and passed in front of the mirror. I froze when I saw my reflection. My cheeks w
ere tinted pink and my eyes held a glint i d never seen before. What was wrong w

ith me? It was just a song. Why did I feel this need to make him feel better? He
d been through so much. Why did I care? We were completely opposites. My Iphone
started ringing snapping me out of my thoughts. I stared at the screen scowling
: Unknown.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Jones,"
"Shane?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, don t drool over your phone. It s disgusting,"
"What-how-why," I rushed my words not knowing which question was more important.
"Calm down, babe. Breathe,"
"Babe?" I grimaced in disgust. He was such a player.
"You like it?" I rolled my eyes.
"What do you want?" I didn t bother to ask him how he got my number. He was Shan
e Mason, one of the popular guys at school. He could get anything he wanted. He
chuckled.
"I need you to do my math homework,"
"What? You ve have to be kidding me, I-"
"I won t take a no as an answer,"
"I told you I m not good at math, actually I su-" a knock on my room s door inte
rrupted me. Oh no, time for dinner, mom was really stricted with timing "wait, h
ang on,"
"If you hang up on me, I will-"
"I won t, just wait," I started as I opened the door.
"I told you I wouldn t take a no as answer," Shane stood right in front of me, h
is phone on his ear. He was smirking at me, looking all smug and arrogant "close
your mouth, babe. Don t wnat the flies to get inside," It was then I noticed my
mouth was opened in shock. I shut it and put my phone down.
"What the hell are you doing here? How did you get in here?" I felt utterly conf
used. not to mention, I was wearing shorts and a see-through white shirt. Shane
pushed me aside and walked inside my room like he owned the place "what are you
doing? Get out! I haven t gi-"
"Jules," my mother called me. It was then I noticed she was standing in the door
frame, "be nice to Shaney," she ordered in a motherly tone.
"Shaney?" I asked exasperated.
"Yes, he s Mery s son, don t you remember?" Mery was my mother s best friend. Mo
m always talked about her, I had seen her like three times in my life. She was a
doctor like my mother so she had a very tight schedule. I always thought the re
ason they were so close to each other, it was because they worked in the same pl
ace. Mery spent more time with my mother than me.

"you mean, he s your godson?" I remembered mom telling about being the godmother
of Mery s son but I never expected him to be Shane Mason.
"Yes, isnt he sweet?"
"Sweet?" I laughed sarcastically. Shane smiled kindly at my mother.
"Help him with his math homework, darling," she said and left closing the door b
ehind her. I was too shock to say something. What the hell had my life turn into
? I looked at Shane, and he was standing there smirking at me.
"Your face is priceless,"
"Oh shut up!" I held my head. I needed to find a way to get him out of here. Sha
ne started at me with his big breath-taking hazel eyes and ran his fingers throu
gh his blond brownish hair. His gaze dropped to the floor and his smirk grew big
ger.
"You know," he came closer to me, I narrowed my eyes at him, "I m glad you re th
inking about protection," I stepped back until my butt hit the drawer. It was th
en I looked down and saw the condoms lying on the floor. Quickly, I started blus
hing. When I looked up, I gasped. Shane was too close. I pushed his chest.
"Back off," he grasped my wrist.
"Help me with my homework and I will," he leaned closer. His minty breath brushe
d past my face.
"Get off me, pervert!" he looked at me waiting, "fine, I ll help you," he grinne
d and backed away.
"This shall be fun," I forced a smile.
"Yeah,"
Oh course, it d be fun. I was going to have a lot of fun when he failed math bec
ause of me. Internally, I laughed evilly like Cruella de vil.
Shane was so going down.,

Chapter 06

You know that funny moment when you re holding back laughter and the more you tr
y not to laugh, the more you want to do it. I was living that exact moment.. I w
as looking through the little square glass on the Math s class door. Mr. Satty w
as giving out the Math s assignments grades. I couldn t get inside, I was a juni
or and this was a senior class. So I was stuck with watching from the hallway. I
was patiently waiting for Shane to get his grade.
I could not believe I was skipping Biology for this but I really wanted to see h
is face. He was sitting on one of the front seats, looking smug as he waited. He
ran his fingers through his envied hair and smirked at some girl next to him. H
e looked so confident and relaxed. A giggle left my lips, it was becoming imposs
ible to not laugh.

"Shane Mason," Mr. Satty called out scanning the classroom. Shane stood up and w
alked to Mr. Satty s desk. He gave him his assignment and shook his head disappr
ovingly. Shane turned back to his seat; I could see his profile clearly. His smu
g smile vanished as his eyes rolled down the paper in his hands. I was covering
my mouth tightly. God, his face was priceless. As if feeling my gaze, his head s
napped towards the door. He looked at me angrily, I gasped. His eyes barely narr
owed as he stalked towards me.

Shoot! He s going to kill me or do something nasty like get his finger inside my
ear. I d always thought that was disgusting. I started to panic as he got close
r; I really hadn t thought this through. I should ve have a escape plan. God, I
was such an idiot! Jordan, Shane s best friend, got on his way stopping him. Jor
dan started talking to him about something I couldn t hear. The bell rang. The p
hrase saved by the bell had never made as much sense in my life as it was doing
it now. I took advantage of the commotion around and got away from the door to w
alk away.

I heard Shane shouting my name from behind but didn t bother to look back. I ent
ered the main hallway and started walking down fast. He was going to murder me b
ut I couldn t help the triumphal smile that crept to my lips. His face... Oh God
, I didn t even want to remember, it was hilarious. In my defense, he practicall

y forced to help him with Math a few days ago. It was his fault he didn t believ
e me when I told him I sucked with numbers.

"Jones!" Uh-oh, I glanced over my shoulder and panicked. Shane was sprinting tow
ards me. Anger plastered on his face, his fists clenched at his sides. Immediate
ly, I started running away. I cursed my short legs, they weren t really helping
in my futile attempt of a escape "Jones! You are so dead!" I started zigzagging
in the hope of misleading him. Yeah, it wasn t the brightest idea but hey, I was
scared.

My eyes met heaven when I spotted the precarious hanging sign that said "Bathroo
m" without a second thought, I opened the door and ran inside. I rested my back
against the door breathing heavily. I was safe. He wouldn t enter the girl s bat
hroom, would he? I looked up and froze. There was a guy standing a few meters fr
om me. He was holding his little buddy with one hand as he stood in front of the
urinal. I screamed so loud, my ears were ringing after it.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!" I repeated over and over again. The guy didn t seem to
move a muscle "I m so sorry! Oh my God!" The guy was red as a tomato. Leave it t
o me to go inside the wrong bathroom. I had never seen a man s "thing" in my lif
e. I was terrified. To extend my misery, someone pushed the door opened, hitting
the back of my head. I stumbled forwards and turned on my feet ready to fight S
hane. To my surprise, it was Jason.

"What the hell?" Jason looked at the guy, who was finally pulling his zipper up
and then at me, "Are you... Did you... Jules?" He was obviously waiting for an e
xplanation. The guy walked out of the bathroom embarrassed.
"It s not what it looks like," I stated. The image of the guy s member wouldn t
get out of my head. It was shocking to see one in real life. Jason narrowed his
eyes at me,

"Then what wer-"

"Jones!" Shane s angry voice sounded closer to the door. Jason frowned.

"Is tha-"

"I need to hide," I whispered scanning the bathroom.

"Why? Jules, what s going on? What ar-"

"Shut up! This is an emergency!"

"You need a condom?"

"What? No, distract him," I ordered as I entered one of the cubicles and shut th
e metal door.

"Jules, wha-"

"Jones!" By the sound of his voice, Shane was in the bathroom "Where is she?"

"Who?" Jason asked innocently.

"That little devil you call your best friend," he spoke bitterly. I swallowed as
I got on the toilet bowl. Oh look at me, this was such a clich moment. I really
hoped I didn t slip and fell down. It would pretty disgusting if that happened.

"Jules?" Jason was not really good at lying, "she got in the girls bathroom, w
hy?" I could not blame Jason for not defending me straight away from Shane. Shan
e was taller, bigger and an athlete. He could beat the crap out of my best frien
d easily.

"You better not be lying," Shane said and the sound of the door being closed re
laxed me.

"Jules, stay there until the bell rings, he s in the hallway," Jason informed m
e "I m going for back-up, okay?"

"Back-up? What are you? A cop?"

"Stay there,"

"Fine!" I got off the toilet bowl and got my Iphone out of my pocket. Evan and
I had become sort of online friends. We would talk all day, if we weren t busy.

It surprised me how many things we had in common, we listened to the same bands,
watched the same shows and shared a passionate obsession with donuts. He wouldn
t tell much about himself though, I mean, he didn t like talking about his pers
onal life. He wouldn t even tell me where he lived for God sakes. Me, on the oth
er hand, I was an opened book. I just felt so comfortable when I talked to him,
maybe, because I couldn t see him. It was easy to write about your life than spe
ak of it, if you know what I mean. I started to type a message to him:

Shane is gonna kill me.

I pressed the send button. Evan knew about Shane, Jason, Laura and even my mom.
Yeah, I wasn t really a reserved person. Besides, for some reason I trusted Evan
. I know it sounds crazy but he was just so... I didn t have words to explain it
.

Him: I m fine, thank you. Where are your manners?

I rolled my eyes.

Me: this is a life and death situation and that s all you can say?

Him: Yeah ;) but I will spare you this time.

Me: I may die in the next few minutes. Choose your words carefully; they may be
the last ones you write to me.

Him: You are so dramatic. You are not going to die, stop being a chicken and fac
e him.

Me: you don t know him. He can murder me in a heartbeat. I look like a dwarf in
front of him.

Him: haha I bet you look like a dwarf in front of me, too.

His reply got me thinking about his appearance. How did Evan look like? His watt
pad profile picture was blank so I had no clue.

Me: are you tall?

Him: I m taller than you.

Me: how would you know that?

Him: common sense. I m older, I m a man so I m 99% sure, I m taller than you.

Me: how old are you?

Him: haha how many times are you going to ask me that?

Me: until you tell me.

Him: I won t ;)

Me: Evan, do you have a facebook?

Him: No.

Me: Twitter.

Him: No.

Me: anything?

Him: No, only wattpad. I don t like those websites. They re useless.

Me: Evan, I m curious.

Him: Let me guess, you want to know how I look like, don t you?

My eyes widened in surprise. It was like he could read my mind.

Me: Yeah.

I admitted embarrassed.

Him: I m ugly.

Me: I didn t ask you if you were beautiful whatsoever. I want to see you, to put
a face to the blank inside my head when I speak to you.

Him: Someday, I may send a picture to you.

Someday? I growled frustrated.

Me: Why are you so reserved?

Him: The less you know about me, the better.

Me: Why?

Him: Trust me :)

Me: You re so weird.

Him: You ve already said that many times, little peach.

Me: Little peach?

Him: Yeah, by the way, how come you write romance stories if you haven t been in
love before.

Me: How do you know I haven t been in love?

Him: I told you, I m a very observant person.

Me: Right, you re such a stalker.

him: haha you wish I was stalking you :)

Me: Oh please, you are stalking me. You may admit it someday, just like I admitt
ed my stories were cheesy.

him: Nah, why would I stalk you? I don t know you.

I narrowed my eyes at the screen.

Me: At this point, I think we are friends.

Him: Friends? haha maybe.

I was about to reply when the bell rang.

Me: I have to go.

Him: :) Ok, little peach.

Me: You have the worst taste on pet names.

Him: They suit you.

Me: Yeah yeah, talk to u later.

I shoved my phone inside my bag and left the bathroom as fast as I could. I rea
lly didn t want to see another guy s little buddy. I d had enough for the day.

**

"You did what?" Laura asked shocked. Her green eyes were widened. Her brown hair
was falling down her shoulders. She looked good today, which remained me of my
crappy outfit. My hair was in a messy bun, I was wearing a large t-shirt that sa
id I m sexy and I know it on the front and worn jeans.
We were heading out of school, to the parking lot. The afternoon cool breeze met
us as soon as we stepped outside. Laura had offered me a ride home, I appreciat
ed it since mom was on duty at the hospital. I updated Laura with everything, ex
cept for Evan. I was not sure why I could not tell her about my online friend. M
aybe I was afraid of her thinking I was crazy for talking to a stranger and actu
ally enjoying it.

"Yeah, if you see Shane, let me know. I will run for my life," I said. Laura lau
ghed, snorted and kept on laughing for a while. I smiled at her, at least, there
was someone enjoying my tragic life. I scanned the parking lot. Shane was nowhe
re to be seen. I frowned. Where was he?

"I would have paid anything to see his face," Lau commented passing an arm over
my shoulder "you, my friend, are a hero,"

"A dead hero, Lau,"

"Oh come on, what the worst thing he can do?"

"I really don t want to find that out," I shook my head.

"You ll be fine," she said rubbing my shoulder.

On our way home, I was watching through the car s window how the trees rushed b
y. I could not stop wondering what Shane was up to.
Why would he let me leave school so easily? Was he planning my murder meticulous
ly? Did he plant a bomb in my bag? Did he steal my pencils? What did he have in
mind?
I was a hundred percent sure he was not going to let it go so easily. My Iphone
buzzed in my bag, I hurried to check it hoping it was message from Evan but to m
y surprise it was a text.

It was from: Jerkpid. Yeah, I registered Shane s number with that name, a combin
ation of jerk and stupid. Call me childish, but hey, each time I saw it in my co
ntact list. I would grin like an idiot,
From: Jerkpid.

Content: You messed with the wrong guy :)

I knew he was not going to let this go. I didn t reply, why would I? I really di
dn t want to know the things he was planning to do to me. Ignorance sometimes wa
s a blessing.

"Jules?" Laura s voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Huh?"

"I was telling you that I visited that page you talk so much about," her eyes we

re on the road as she spoke.

"Wattpad?"

"Yeah, it s really cool,"

"I know, I m addicted to it,"

"I know that. Do you realize I should be mad at you?"

"Why?" I scowled at her.

"You never pay attention to me anymore, I feel neglected," she admitted smiling
sadly.

"Aww, Lau, you know you re my favorite,"

"You shouldn t use your phone when I m telling you something,"

"I know, I know, sorry,"

"It s cool," she glanced at me "We re here,"

Giving her a hug and assuring

of her car. My house looked so
call garden a small tree and
owers and I was too lazy to do
he front of our house.

her I was going to pay more attention, I got out

lonely, I crossed our garden, well, if you could
dry flowers. Mom didn t have time to water the fl
it so we pretty much had a flowers cemetery in t

Sighing, I opened the front door to find an empty living room. Our house was not

fancy or anything like that but it was comfortable. I went upstairs and entered
my room. My curtains were closed so it was pretty dark here. Kicking my shoes o
ff, I took my t-shirt off.

"Nice sight," a soft voice whispered. I screamed and jumped in fear. Holding my
chest, I scanned my room. Shane was standing in the darkest corner. His full lip
s were forming a big smirk "keep going, babe. I m curious to see the rest of you
r body," I grasped my t-shirt from the floor and covered my chest feeling eye-ra
ped.

"What the hell are you doing here? How did you get in?" I asked completely shoc
ked. Shane raised his hand and shook some keys.

"Your sweet mother trusts me too much," he replied smugly. My jaw dropped to th
e floor. mom had given him keys? What the hell? My mother was bipolar, she could
n t stand Jason inside my room but she let Shane be alone with me?

"Get out!" I exclaimed scared. We were alone in my house, we were alone. That ph
rase kept playing inside my head. I was sure I was starting to freak out.

"Oh no, no," Shane shook his head "I m not going anywhere. You ve been a bad, ba
d girl, Jules," I didn t like the tone he was using. Fearing for my life, I back
ed away "and you know what happens to bad girls?" I swallowed and shook my head.

"They get punished," his smirk grew bigger as he stalked towards me.

Holy macaronis! I was in deep trouble.

X M W L X

Holy sweet chocolate cookies! Jules is in trouble, people!

Chapter 07

Fact: Shane was going to kill me.

Curious fact: My socks didn t match.
Sad fact: I was going to die a virgin.
I could spend all day stating the facts of my life or I could do something while
Shane was approaching to me. I scanned my room searching for something useful t
o defend myself but after seeing teddy bears, pillows, small lamps, dirty clothe
s and thin paintings, I realized I had nothing. However, I had the element of su
rprise that was the only thing I had. I knew Shane was not expecting what I was
about to do. He looked confident and I needed to take advantage of that. In a fa
st move, I turned on my feet and ran out of the room.
"Hey!" Shane screamed from behind but I was already going downstairs. Holding my
t-shirt in one hand, I opened the front door with the other "Jones! Stop!" Shoo
t, he was close. Shane was taller and faster than me. my chances of escaping wer
e as low as my IQ but I had to try.
I shivered feeling the cold breeze against my partly naked torso. I grimaced in
pain while crossing the garden, the dead flowers had somehow become stiff and sh
arp. They were scratching my bare feet. Note to self: Water the damn flowers, th
ey may kill me someday "Jones!" I glanced over my shoulder, Shane was sprinting
towards me.
"You ll never get me alive!" I shouted as my feet met the cold road s pavement.
Why did I have to live in a isolated house? I lived in the middle of nowhere. I
had many fights with mom because I wanted to live in the town but of course, she
preferred the calmness of living in a lonely place. Calmness my ass! I was go
ing to get killed and no one would even notice. I ran down the road, the icy win
d brushing past my skin.
My lower lip quivered, God, I was cold. Where the hell was the sun when you need
it? As in reply, a thunder echoed through the sky. Great, it was going to rain.
"Jones!" I didn t bother to look back. I was breathing heavily, my messy bun wen
t loosed and soon enough my hair was flying backwards with the wind "Stop!" Shan
e sounded right behind me. God, please help, I m sorry for not going to church l
ast Sunday. I will go next week I promise. Hearing Shane s footsteps behind me,
I started zigzagging to confuse him. I really needed to stop doing the zigzaggin
g thing because guys, it seriously doesn t work. A warm arm was wrapped around m
y waist stopping me. I shrieked trying to get loose.
"Let me go!" I said panting. I was out shape, I didn t practice any sport whatso
ever.

"Jeez! Calm down!" Shane said not sounding as out of breath as I was. Damn footb
all player!
"Help!" I repeated over and over again. Shane covered my mouth with his free han
d.
"Shut up! Could you please calm down?" he turned me around, holding my arms. My
eyes met his, my chest was rising up and down due to my rapid breathing "What s
wrong with you?" he asked frowning "I m not going to kill you,"
"Really?" I asked hopeful.
"Yeah, I was trying to scare you but I never thought you d get the run-like-a-cr
azy-chick down the road reaction,"
"I thought... you were..." I slapped his hands and stepped back, "What the hell
were you doing in my room, you creep!" I folded my arms across my chest. Shane s
gaze dropped to my breasts, and it was then I remembered I was shirtless. My pu
rple bra was on sight "Ah!" I screamed covering myself with my t-shirt "You are
such a pervert!"
"Oh please, like I would perv on you," he rolled his eyes "let s get back inside
," he got his hands inside his jeans pockets and started walking back to the ho
use. I narrowed my eyes at his back.
"I m not going anywhere," I said putting my t-shirt back on.
"Then I hope you enjoy getting wet in the cold," he said getting further away fr
om me.
"What?" it took me 15 seconds, three thunders and small drop of rain to understa
nd what he meant. It was going to rain. Sometimes, my brain
surprised me with its slowness. I sprinted towards the house as It started to dr
izzle.
Getting my frozen butt inside the house, I closed the front door behind me. Shan
e was lying comfortably on the big couch. He had his hands behind his head. I gl
ared at him. Who the hell did he think he was?
"What are you doing here?" he ignored me. I squeezed my fists at my sides "Hey!
I m talking to you!"
"What?" He asked looking bored.
"What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" I said each word slowly. Shane stared at me for a
moment and then closed his eyes.
"I m thinking of a way to make you pay for what you did,"
"I didn t do anything," I faked an innocent tone. Shane sat up, his eyes held a
glint of anger.
"I m going to fail Math because of you, Jones,"
"I told you I was not good with numbers," he stood up.
"No, you didn t,"

"Yes, I did," I retorted sure. He took a step closer.

"No, you didn t. When we finished the assignment the other night, you even patte
d my shoulder and said and I quote You re going to get an A, tiger " I chuckled
. Yeah, I did said that but I was upset because he had invaded my room rudely an
d called me an ugly nerd many times.
"Hum, I did my best," I shrugged my shoulders. Shane narrowed his hazel eyes at
me.
"I was trying to impress this chick in my math class and you ruined it," I rolle
d my eyes.
"You re telling me you caused all this mess because you wanted to get laid?"
"Pretty much," I shook my head disapprovingly, "What? She s hot and has these pa
ir of big boo-"
"Shane!" I screamed disgusted. He reminded me so much of Jason. Were all men the
same?
"Anyway, you know payback is a bi-"
"Stop it with the bad words," I cut him off. Shane simply smirked at me and sear
ched for something behind his back. Was it a gun? A bomb? My pencils? I was defi
nitely not expecting what I saw.
"It s curious what we can fin in someone s room," he commented as he showed me m
y diary. My jaw dropped to the floor.
"Oh no,"
"Oh yes," he nodded satisfied.
"Oh no," I could feel the blood rushing to my face. I was both angry and embarra
ssed, how could he?
"Oh, yes, Jones," I could tell he was pleased by my reaction, "A diary? Seriousl
y? What are you, ten?"
"That s mine! You have no right to see that!" I said with a stomp of my foot.
"So, tell me," he started, I could tell he was holding back laughter "when Jack
dumped you because your hair was ugly, did you cry?" Oh no, my hair, that was su
ch a sensitive subject for me. Jack marked me, that happened when I was ten but
it still hurt me. My heart started hammering inside my chest, and my blood was b
oiling.
"Shane," I said through clenched teeth.
"You did, didn t you?" he teased smirking. That was it, I don t know how or why
but my violent side seemed to come to the surface when I was around Shane. Clenc
hing my fists, I jumped to him and pushed him hard on the chest.
"Give it back, you stupid egocentric jerk!" I kept hitting his chest over and ov
er again.
"Whoa, whoa, calm down, little lion" Shane said not moving at all. He didn t see
m to be affected by my hits. I tried reaching my diary but he raised his hand as

higher as he could. Being the dwarf I was, I had no chance of getting it. A bri
lliant idea came to me, I jumped on the couch and grinned like an idiot when I r
ealized I could reach it now. I grasped the hem of the diary but Shane pulled it
backwards. I wasn t going to let go of my diary, hell no! Shane pulled again an
d this time I lost my equilibrium and fell forwards.
"Ah!" I screamed as I fell, Shane tried to stop me mid-air but he ended up falli
ng with me.
"Sh*t!" he exclaimed when the back of his head hit the floor. I landed on top of
him. I got my hands on the floor so I could lean backwards, when I did I froze.
We were extremely close. His breath was mixing with mine. His eyes hazel eyes s
tared into right mine. My cheeks turned pink when I realized I was straddling hi
m. His hands were on my waist.
His wet lips formed a smirk as his gaze dropped to my lips. I could feel my hear
t beating fast inside my chest. I d never been in such intimate position with a
guy before.
Shane squeezed my waist gently and I bit my lower lip nervously as I gazed at hi
s wet lips. They looked so soft.
"Jules!" Jason s voice snapped me out of my trance. My head snapped towards the
source of his voice. He was standing in the front door frame, looking damp. I co
uld see the heavy rain from where I was sitting. He closed the door and his eyes
scanned the living room widening when he spotted me "Oh," was all he said in sh
ock. Quickly, I jumped to my feet smiling nervously.
"It s not what it looks like," I explained. Shane stood up next to me, looking s
mug and triumphal. Jason stared at me.
"Sure, I should go now, I thought you were alone because your mom was on duty bu
t-"
"Yes, yes, I am alone," I replied fast. Jason frowned and glanced at Shane "Shan
e was about to leave," I said. For a moment, I could only hear the rain and my o
wn breathing. Oh boy, this was awkward.
"No, I wasn t," Shane stated sitting on the couch. I sighed in frustration. Jaso
n and I shared gazes, he was obviously shocked.
"Jules, Can I talk you for a sec?" he asked walking to the kitchen. I nodded and
followed him. When we were alone, Jason leaned against the kitchen s counter an
d folded his arms across his chest. His chestnut straight hair was wet; his frin
ge was stuck to his forehead. His green eyes were staring at me, waiting for an
explanation.
"I didn t invite him," I said frankly.
"Am I missing something here? I found you this afternoon in the boy s bathroom w
ith some dude and now this," he shook his head "Next time, I ll find you having
se-"
"Jason!"
"What?"
"It was all a big" I made a circle with my hands "misunderstanding"
"Really, Jules? Shane Mason? I thought you wouldn t go for the school s jerk,"

"And you re right, I wouldn t," Jason gave me the I don t believe you at all l
ook.
"When I saw you two, it looked like you were going to devour each other," he acc
used.
"No," I grimaced "I was trying to get my diary back, that was all," I said showi
ng him my diary. Jason opened his mouth in shock.
"You have a diary?" he burst out laughing. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Yes, I have a diary," I said trying to maintain my dignity.
"That s like..." he clutched his stomach laughing "so girly,"
"I am a girl, Jason,"
"Yeah, but I never thought you would be that girly,"
"There s nothing wrong with having a diary," I defended holding my diary against
my chest.
"Whatever you say, Jules," Jason said walking to the fridge. He took a peach out
and gave it a bite.
Peach...
Peachy girl...
Evan...
I ran out of the kitchen and went upstairs. I heard Shane yelling from the livin
g room but ignored him. I entered my room and sat on my bed. opening my laptop,
I logged on wattpad. I had three private messages. I smiled like a fool when I s
aw there was one from Evan.
Him: Did you get killed? ;)
Me: Unfortunately for you, no.
Him: That s too bad.
Me: I m still in danger though.
Him: Why?
Me: Shane is here.
Him: Here where?
Me: My house.
Him: Oh
Me: Yeah, but I m fine.
Him: Missed me, girly? ;)
Me: Pftt, never.

We chatted for a while. It surprised me how many things we had in common. Even t
hough, Evan and I were clearly opposites we still liked the same bands, food and
books. It was kind of contradictory if you ask me. Shane and Jason didn t appea
r in my room. I wondered what they were doing downstairs but there was no way I
was getting my butt out of bed any time soon. As I waited for Evan s reply to on
e of my private messages, I scanned his wattpad profile. My eyes roamed down his
message board and I frowned. There was a public conversation between him and a
girl.
Her: Oh please, I would never fall for you.
him: I think you already fell, silly girl.
My heart sank in my chest. They were flirting... I read the rest of the messages
to confirm they were shamelessly flirting. Sadness and disappointment invaded m
e. I knew I was being irrational, I didn t even know the guy but somehow, I d fe
lt special when Evan talked to me. I d felt like I was the only one he wanted to
speak to when he was on wattpad. Obviously, I was wrong. I ran my hand through
my hair and clicked on the private messages option. Evan was telling something a
bout some rock band he liked. I kept giving him short replies like "Yeah" "Ok" "
Right" until he noticed my change of mood.
Him: Something wrong?
Me: No.
Him: Spit it out.
Me: What?
Him: You re obviously upset about something.
Me: I m fine.
Him: Then why the change of mood?
Me: I said I m fine.
Him: Tell me.
Me: :) I m fine. So, you like a girl on here, huh?
I tried to seem casual but I sucked at pretending.
Him: What do you mean?
Me: Don t play the fool, haha I can help you with her if you want.
Him: ???
Me: The girl on your message board :P
Him: You re jealous?
Me: Pfftt no!
Him: Yes, you are.
Me: No, I am not.

Him: Right, prove it.

Me: How?
Him: Help me with her :) (Even though, I don t need your help to get a girl)
Me: Hum, I don t know her.
Him: Neither do I, but she looks hot in her profile pic.
My stomach clenched at his words. What was wrong with me? Was I jealous?
Me: Sure, I ll help you.
I pressed the enter button reluctantly.
Him: You are so silly, Jules.
Me: Why?
Him: Never mind.
Me: Evan, can I ask you something?
Him: Yeah.
Me: Where are you from?
Him: haha Stalker.
Me: Please, I want to know.
Him: Why?
Me: I don t know.
Him: Give me your house phone s number :)
Me: What?
Him: Do it :)
I typed the number, my heart was hammering inside my chest. What was he up to?
Me: Evan?
He didn t reply. I jumped when the house s phone started ringing. It couldn t be
him... right?
X M W L X
Yeah yeah cliffhanger. Get your tomatoes, carrots,cucumbers, whatever you want t
o throw at me (Not potatoes please, I hate those)

Also, shoot me with your comments. They make my day, you guys are so creative :D

Chapter 08

I was frozen. I couldn t move at all, my eyes moved away from my laptop s screen
and landed on my room s door.

The phone was ringing...

The house s phone...

I d just given Evan my number. Was he calling? Panic rose in me when I remembere
d my house s phone was downstairs and Shane was there. I jumped out of bed and r
an out of my room into the hallway. I found Jason on the way. He was obviously h
eading to my room,

"Hey, I m gonna use your bathroom because-" I ran past him and went downstairs "
Jules?" Jason s confused voice was soon left behind as I clumsily moved down the
stairs. My feet met the warm living room s carpet and I stopped on my tracks. S
hane was standing next to the couch; he had the phone pressed against his left e
ar. His gaze met mine as he proceeded to speak,

"Yes, she is here, hold on," Shane offered me the phone. I stopped breathing,

"Who is it?" I said in a low tone. Shane shrugged his shoulders. Swallowing my n
ervousness, I grasped the phone and held it close to my ear. My heart was hammer
ing inside my chest.

"Hello?" I greeted squeezing the phone cord with my free hand. I could hear the
person s breathing at the other side of the line "Hello?" I repeated a little bi
t louder this time.

Come on, Evan, Say something.

"Hello?" My throat was dry. Why was I so nervous? Why wasn t he speaking? It had
to be him, I knew it was him. The line went dead and I let out a breath I didn
t know I was holding. Putting the phone back in place, I ran my fingers through
my hair. Why didn t he say anything? I was confused.

"Who was that?" Shane s voice snapped me out of my trance.

"Hum, a friend," I replied automatically. My mind was still on those seconds. He

aring his breathing had actually made him more real for me. I didn t know how to
explain it but it just did.

"You look like you re going to have a heart attack," Shane commented lying comfo
rtable on the couch. It was then I noticed the TV was on, he was watching some f
ootball game, how predictable.

"I..." I trailed off as my eyes landed on the phone again.

"Are you on drugs?" Shane asked casually while chewing something. It sounded lik
e chips... Like ruffles. I snapped my head towards him. For a moment, I complete
ly forgot about Evan. Anger filled my veins when I spotted the ruffles bag on Sh
ane s lap.

"Are you eating my ruffles?" I asked dangerously. Shane kept his eyes on the TV
and got another chip in his mouth as a reply. I leaned over the couch and snatch
ed the bag away from him.

"Hey!" He complained looking at me. I held the ruffles against my chest.

"This is not your house! Stop lazing around and eating my snacks," Shane stood u
p, his full height intimidated me. I took a step backwards.

"You shouldn t bother a man when he s watching a football game," his tone held a
bit of threat. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"You shouldn t eat a girl s snack," I retorted "it s dangerous,"

"Really?" He cocked an eyebrow.

"Yeah, really," I was having a hard time trying to maintain my strong pose. Shan
e was not only taller and stronger than me, he was also devilish. He had that ba
d boy look that girls always fell for. Luckily, I was not one of them. Shane kep
t walking towards me like a predator. I squeezed the bag in fear and heard the c
runch of the chips. Oh my poor chips!

"Give me that," he ordered. I shook my head "Jones..." he sounded dangerous. My

back hit the wall and I knew I was trapped.
"Stay back," he titled his head to the side. His full lips formed a smirk.

"I m missing the game because of you; you better give me those chips back, Jones
,"

"My name is Julie. Stop calling me by my last name," I said trying to distract h
im. I needed to find a way to escape, me and my chips needed a plan to get away
from Mr. Jerkpid.
"I will call you whatever I want to call you, you know why?" he continued before
I could say something "because you messed with me. You ruined my chance of gett
ing laid tonight so I will make sure to ruin your night as well,"
"I didn t-" The house s phone rang again. Shane and I shared gazes for a second.
I wanted to run to the phone but Shane was on my way.

"If you
across
a blink
an? Was

want to answer the phone, give me the chips," he traded folding his arms
his chest. There was no way I could go through him, he would stop me in
of an eyes. The phone rang again. The suspense was killing me, was it Ev
he calling again?

I, Julie Jones, was put on the most difficult situation of my life. I had a choi

ce to make, I looked down at my ruffles. I knew they were inside the bag, I knew
they were crispy and salty. How I loved those chips! But I also knew I had to l
et them go if I wanted to pick up that phone.

Chips or Evan...
It was a tough decision.
Yeah, I know you re judging me for actually wavering about it but hey, Ruffles w
ere my life. After the third ring of the phone, I sighed in defeat and whispered
Sorry to my chips. I threw the bag to Shane; he caught it in mid air and grin
ned. Getting him out of the way, I answered the phone.

"Hello?"
"Jules?"
"Mom?" I asked in disbelief.
"Hey, sweetie, how is everything? Did you have dinner? It s in the microwave," A
rg! I had sacrificed my chips for nothing?!
"Arg, mom!"

"What?"

"My chips," I growled glancing at Shane. He was back on the couch staring intent
ly at the TV. That stupid chips killer!
"Chips? Julie, you can t have chips for dinner," mom said in a motherly tone.
"I know, I was just..." I trailed off as I remembered something "mom, why is Sha
ne in our house?" I said in a whisper. Hopefully, with the loud noise coming fro
m the TV Shane wouldn t hear me.
"Oh, I figured you would need some company since I m on duty,"

"Why Shane, mom?"

"I trust him," she said frankly.

"Why would you trust him? He s an arrogant jerk,"

"Language, Jules!"

"Sorry, but still I don t want him around,"

"He is a nice young boy, Julie," I looked at him for a moment. He was eating my
chips like a pig.

"You are blind, mom,"

"No, I m not. Just give him a chance,"

"Why would I-"

"I promise he is a nice boy behind that arrogant facade, sweetie. Trust me," I s
ighed in frustration.

"Fine, but I won t clean his mess," I said glancing at the chips lying on the ca
rpet. I held my chest; those chips were like fallen soldiers in a battle. Shane
was going to pay for that.
"I gotta go, take care, darling. If you need anything, give me a call,"

"I will,"

"Where is your dinner?" she asked. She was testing me to see if I d paid attenti
on.

"In the microwave,"

"Good, good, have a nice night, sweet heart,"

"You too, mom" I hung up.

Ignoring the Jerkpid on the couch, I went upstairs. Mostly, because I was peeing
but also cause I needed to check if Evan had messaged me again. I knew he had c
alled me, but why didn t he say a word? I slammed the bathroom s door opened and
screamed at the top of my lungs. Jason was standing next to the shower. He was
naked. I gasped when my eyes met his little buddy.
"Oh my God!" I repeated over and over again. When did I forget Jason was in the
house?
"Jesus, Jules!" Jason exclaimed covering his private parts with both hands.

"Oh my God!" I covered my eyes and gave my back to him "I m so sorry!" What was
wrong with me? Was it my new hobby to see everyone s little buddy? I closed the
door behind me. I was sure I was as red as tomato. I couldn t remove that scene
from my mind. I was so embarrassed.
I saw Jason naked.
I saw my best friend naked.

Those thoughts wouldn t stop prowling around my mind, not to mention the image o
f his little buddy. The harder I tried to forget it, the quickest It displayed i
nside my head. I entered my room, locking the door behind me. I could feel the b
lood in my face. I needed some time to think. Hell, I needed time to stop lookin
g like a freaking strawberry.

Strawberry.
Evan...
God, were all those fruits going to remind me of him all the time? It was kind
of weird, if you ask me. Regaining my regular breathing, I sat on my bed and che
cked my laptop. I had no new messages from Evan. I checked my chat box and notic
ed he was online but he hadn t message me. I started typing a message,

Me: You there?

Him: No
Me: -.Him: ;)

Me: Did you call me?

Him: No.
Me: I know it was you. Why didn t you speak?
Him: I don t know what you re talking about.
Me: You re lying.
Him: Am I?
Me: Evan...
Him: Yes, Jules?
I don t know why but I felt strange -in a good way- each time he wrote my name.
Me: Please, stop lying.
Him: I m not lying.
Me: Come on, I gave you my house number which was kind of dangerous since I bare
ly know you. You don t want to tell me anything about you.
Him: I have told you lots of things about me already, Jules.
Me: I mean, personal stuff, I don t even know where you live.
Him: Why do you want to know?
Me: Because we are wattpad friends.
Him: Wattpad friends?
Me: Yeah
Him: Is that a new term?
Me: Sort of, I made it up.
Him: You are weird. How come you consider me your friend now, I thought you hate
d me.
Me: Hum, I don t hate you.
Him: Right, I forgot you re Mrs. Strawberry. You re incapable of hating someone.
I narrowed my eyes at the screen.
Me: Again with the nicknames?
Him: They suit you ;)
Me: You re changing the subject.
Him: Whatever you say, peachy girl.

Me: Evan...
Him: Yeah?
Me: Stop avoiding the question and tell me, why didn t you say a word?
Him: I didn t have to.
I got a funny feeling in my stomach. So he was admitting he d called me. My hear
t started hammering inside my chest. I didn t know what to say. I started typing
a short reply when he messaged me again.
Him: You have a sweet voice :)

That was it. My heart was going to jump out of my chest. What was wrong with me?
Somehow, knowing that he d been at the other side of the line made me feel nerv
ous.
Me: Thank you?
Him: No problem.
It was the first time Evan complimented me. It was so weird that I had no idea o
f what to say.
Me: Why didn t you say something?
Him: you wanted to hear my voice, didn t you?
Me: Well, yeah.
Him: Why?
Me: Curiosity.
Him: ;)
Me: It s not fair. You got to hear my voice but I didn t hear yours.
Him: Does it matter?
Me: Of course, it does.
Him: I have to go.
Me: Evan!
He logged off and I let out a groan of frustration. Lazily, I got out of bed and
headed out of the room. I still needed to pee but there was no way I was gettin
g closer to the bathroom again. I could hear the shower so Jason was probably st
ill inside. I shuddered remembering the awkward moment from before. Why did I ha
ve to see him naked? Shaking that memory out of my head, I --for the third time
in less than three hours-- went downstairs. Shane was no longer watching TV. He
had his earphones on and his eyes were closed. The empty bag of ruffles was rest
ing on his lap. His longs legs were extended; his feet were resting on the coffe
e table. If my mother saw him, I was sure she would kill him in cold blood.

Rule number one in the Jones House: Never mess with the furniture; you ll die a
horrible death if you do.

For a moment, I dared to stare at him. The muscles of his arms and shoulders wer
e relaxed. You could tell he was defined through his black t-shirt. His face was
flawless, his skin looked creamy, no sign of acne or any puberty mark. His lips
were full, his upper lip had two defined curves. It resembled the top part of a
heart. His eyebrows were kind of blond and perfectly placed above his eyes. His
blond brownish hair were messy but in a good way unlike mine, I was sure my hai
r looked like a devastated bird s nest. It was then I heard his voice, Shane was
singing? Well, more like humming a song, I focused on listening.
"Something s getting in the way.
Something s just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane"

I recognized that song. It was "Diary of Jane" by Breaking Benjamin. I never tho
ught Shane would like rock music. He looked so innocent with his eyes closed. To
think behind that innocent cute face, there was an evil arrogant jerk.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Shoot! I got caught staring! His hazel eyes stared
into my blue ones paralyzing me. He didn t say anything; we just stared into ea
ch other s eyes in silence. For a moment, I felt like he was not that evil, that
mom was right and there was actually a good guy hiding behind that player arrog
ant facade but then he spoke and ruined it,

"You like what you see, fake nerd?" he gave me a smug smile. I rolled my eyes.
"Not really," he took his earphones off.
"Then stop checking me out," he said casually "it s creeping me out,"
"I was not checking you out,"
"Yes, you were. I can t blame you though, I m ridiculously hot," I narrowed my e
yes at him.
"How can you survive with that ego? It shocks me, really,"
"To be a girl, you really don t care about your looks, do you?" he scanned my bo
dy shaking his head, "You seriously look like a boy," Shane really knew how to g
et on my nerves.
"You are-" the phone rang and I picked it up quickly "Hello?" there was silence
"Evan?" there was no answer. Shane put his earphones back on and closed his eyes
. I gave my back to him "Evan, say something, I know it s you,"

"Hey," I stopped breathing. My whole world stopped with there. Time slowed down
and I held my chest. his voice was so... sexy. My heart was racing full speed.

"I-I-I" I stuttered. I heard him chuckle.

"Goodnight, sweet Jules," his husky yet velvety voice whispered and then he hung
up.

Even tough, I knew he d hung up I was still pressing the phone against my ear.
I was shocked, I never expected him to call me again. I never expected him to he
ar his voice.

I let out a breath I didn t know I was holding. I closed my eyes realizing one
thing:

God, I loved his voice.

My Wattpad Love

Chapter 09

I was writhing around my bed frustrated. I was trying to get some sleep. For the
past hour, I d been failing miserably. I couldn t get Evan s sexy voice out of
my head.
What was wrong with me? He d only said a few words, why was I already dying to h
ear his voice again? As soon as he d hung up, I d headed to my room to check my
computer. He was offline in wattpad so I waited... I chatted with other friends
from the site while I waited for him to come online but he never came. I had no
choice but to sleep, it was school s night and it was past midnight. But of cour
se, thanks to my unhealthy sleeping habits, I was lying on my back with my eyes
wide opened.

Groaning in frustration, I sat up rubbing my face. My stomach roared loudly, I h

adn t even tasted the so famous dinner Mom left for me in the microwave. I swung
my feet out of bed and slowly got up. I made my way to the door wondering what
Shane was doing. I had left him on the couch after throwing him some covers. I d
idn t like him but that didn t mean I was going to let him freeze to death in my
living room.
I was crossing the hallway when I passed the bathroom s door. Instantly, an imag
e of a naked Jason played in front of my eyes. God, was I ever going to be able
to erase that from my memory? I wished my mind was like a computer, that I could
delete all the awkward, unnecessary memories with a click. Fortunately, Jason h
ad left as soon as he finished the shower. I guessed he wasn t ready to deal wit
h the awkwardness of the situation. I mean, I saw him naked.
I went downstairs walking as slow as possible. I resembled a zombie during night
. The lack of sleep was killing my brain cells in a slow but steady process. Whe
n I reached the living room, Shane was lying across the couch in front of the st
airs. He was using his phone and listening to music. The TV was off so the entir
e place was semi-dark. Shane looked at me; an amused smile appeared on his face.
"If you re going to seduce me, you should try something better than a little mer
maid pajama," he suggested and chuckled.
"Whatever," I stated entering the kitchen. I knew my pajamas were not sexy at al
l but hey, I was in my house. I could wear anything I wanted, he was the intrude
r not me. How the hell did that jerk end up staying over my house anyway? Oh yea
h, I had a very gullible mother. She was the one to blame if I got killed tonigh
t. Opening the microwave, I heard his footsteps from behind but ignored him.
"Are you looking for your broomstick, little witch?" I ignored him. Did he have
fun telling me how ugly I look? Yeah, definitely yes "Aww, Jones is not really
chatty tonight, isn t she?"
"Ah, shut up already!" I exclaimed and my eyes widened when I saw the microwave
was empty. What the... Immediately, I turned on my feet and pointed my finger ac
cusingly to the tall guy sitting across the counter "You ate my dinner?" I asked
knowing he was the only one in the house. I didn t need to be bright to know he

was the culprit.

"Yeah, I thought you were going to eat that so," he shrugged his shoulders.
"It was MY dinner! You are such a... Arg!" I slammed the microwave s little door
closed. Shane looked surprised by my outburst.
"Calm down, little lion," What s up with him and using little for every nickna
me he gave me? I knew he was significantly taller than me but he didn t need to
remind me of it all day.
Opening the fridge angrily, I searched for something to eat. After seeing all th
e tasteless food my mother called healthy food I slammed the fridge closed as
well. I needed to calm down, it was not my electro domestics fault there was a
jerk in the house.
I turned to Shane again and for a moment, I saw a flash of guilt cross his face,
"What are you doing here, Shane?" I asked bitterly "I know I messed your chances
of getting laid tonight but don t you think
you re taking this too far?" he opened his mouth to say something but I continue
d "I mean, you are in my house, eating my food, invading my personal life. That
is just too much,"
"It wasn t like I planned this, alright?" he explained sounding annoyed "Your mo
ther called me this afternoon, she asked me to stay over because you were going
to be alone,"
"Why would she do that?" I asked in disbelief.
"Because she trusts me," was his reply. I knew he was being honest, Mom definite
ly trusted him otherwise I was sure she wouldn t leave two teenagers alone in a
house. Sighing in frustration and defeat, I took a bag of chips out of the cabin
ets and sat across Shane. I had no energy whatsoever to keep arguing with him.
"Why are you awake?" I wondered while chewing loudly my chips. They weren t ruff
les but they were better than all those stuff Mom had in the fridge.
"Couldn t sleep," he said casually "You?"
"Same," reluctantly, I offered him the bag so he could have some chips. I don t
know where my anger had gone but I didn t care. I felt good to have something in
my stomach. Shane shook his head.
"I m full," I narrowed my eyes at him. Of course he was full, he had eaten MY di
nner.
Breathe, Jules, breathe
There was a long moment of silence. Shane was staring at me with... curiosity? W
e locked gazes and It suddenly became difficult to swallow my chips. His hazel e
yes were so deep, like they had life on their own. Shane was really hot but it w
as not just his physical appearance, which was very fine. Everything about him s
creamed danger. But that kind of danger, we always want to taste. His bed hair m
ade him look even sexier than usual. I shut my thoughts. I couldn t be intereste
d in him. He was an arrogant jerk but I couldn t deny he was as attractive as a
huge bad of Ruffles. Ok, maybe that was a bad comparison but you would understan
d if you knew the amount of passion I had for Ruffles.
"Youre done checking me out?" he asked smirking at me. I looked away blushing.

"Psst, I wasn t checking you out," I lied. I was suddenly self-conscious of my o

utfit. I was sure I looked terrible; I didn t even want to imagine how my hair l
ooked.
My hair...
"Are you blushing?" Shane was snickering. I glared at him from the corner of my
eye and got on my feet. For some reason, I felt nervous now.
"I should sleep," I mumbled as I walked to the door fro that would lead me to th
e living room. Shane jumped to his feet and blocked my way. I had to tilt my hea
d back to look at his face, "move," I ordered but he remained motionless. His in
tense gaze was making me feel weird. He was too close for my like so I stepped b
ack until the small of my back hit the counter. Shane moved with me, "what are y
ou doing? Back off," I demanded as he rested both of his hands on the counter be
hind me, his arms trapping me. I could smell his nice manly cologne.
"You know, you ruined my plans of getting laid tonight," he whispered, his minty
breath hitting my face "You owe me,"
"I don t owe you anything, back off," I pushed his chest but he didn t budge.
"Am I making you nervous, Jules?" my stomach did a back flip. It was the first t
ime he called me by my name. My heart started racing inside my small ribcage.
"No," I knew he was playing with me. I could tell by the amused expression on hi
s face. I dropped my gaze to his chest, which was a mistake; I was now looking a
t his defined chest and abdomen. I could see he muscles beneath his t-shirt.
"You like what you see?" he stated arrogantly, I pushed his chest hard this time
, "Go on, babe, I like it rough," I scrunched my nose in disgust at his remark.
"Leave me alone, stop," I could feel my heated cheeks. Pervert comments always m
ade me blush.
"Look at me,"
"Shane, stop it, let me go," I felt the urge to punch his chest again but I didn
t want another sexual remark so I stayed still.
"Look at me, Jules," I looked up to meet his eyes.

"Right," I walked past him and went upstairs.
Why did it hurt so bad? I guess, my pride was hurt. It was not nice to have a gu
y to say those words to you. After some minutes of struggling, I finally fell as
leep.

The week rushed by uneventful. It was the same routine: going to school, hanging
out with Laura, avoiding Shane and been avoided by Jason. I really didn t get w
hy Jason was not even talking to me. I mean, I know it was awkward after the in
cident in the bathroom but I believed I was the worst affected in this situatio
n. I saw his little buddy for God sakes! That image was going to hunt me until t
he end of time.
As for Evan, I talked to him every day. He was being friendlier to me but he was
still arrogant and insulted me once in a while. I was used to it though, which
was kind of worrying, a girl should never get used to be insulted, right? Howeve
r, his insults were harmless. I mean, being called Mrs. Strawberry or Cheesy wri
ter weren t considered insults, were they?
Anyway, the week end was here. It was Saturday morning. I was, of course, doing
homework and studying, yeah right, I was actually watching TV with no intention
of getting my butt out of the couch anytime soon. Yes, I was lazy, sue me. I was
waiting for Evan to message me back whilst watching Friends. I freaking loved t
hat TV show. It was hilarious. My phone buzzed and I checked it knowing it was h
im. How did I know? That was one of the mysteries of life.
Him: Morning, sleepyhead.
Me: Sleepyhead?
Him: Yeah ;) What s up?
Me: Just chilling, watching TV, you?
Him: Same, shouldn t you be studying Math?
Me: Hum, yeah, it is a waste of time though.
Him: how can you expect understanding Math if you never study?
Me: I have tried but it s hard.
He didn t reply for a while. I realized how
hat urge was growing in me since that night
eard his sexy husky voice. I would call him
ber. Gaining some strenght, I dared to type

bad I wanted him to call me again. T

he d called me. Since the moment I h
if I could but I didn t have his num
something

Me: I was wondering...

I sent the message without finishing it. Ah! Stupid Jules!
Him: You wanted me to call you again, don t you?
My heart started hammering inside my chest. How did he know?
Me: Yeah, how do you know?
He didn t reply and my house phone rang making me jump in the couch. I held my c
hest, my breathing became uneven. I could feel the loud beats of my heart in my
throat and ears. What was wrong with me? I squeezed my sweaty hands. He was call
ing me.
Evan was calling me.
Jesus, I was going to die of an heart attack. Calm down, Jules, Breathe I chante

d inside my head. The suspense was killing me. I grasped the phone and pressed t
o my ear wit a shaking hand.
"He-Hello," I stammered feeling stupid.
"Hello, Jules," his sexy voice sent a shiver through my spine. My legs weakened.
"Hum, Hi," I swallowed. My throat was dry.
"You sound nervous," he said amused.
"Hum, no, I was just... the phone was far away so," I bit my lower lip "I ran to
get it, I m..."
"stop lying," he said in a whisper "I know I make you nervous,"
"No, it-"
"Why did you want me to call you?"
To hear your amazing sexy voice... and drool over my phone.
I couldn t tell him that so I went for the lie.
"I was bored,"
"Really?" I swear, I could tell he was smirking at the other side of line. How d
id I know? Add that to the big list of mysteries of life.
"Yeah, so, what are you doing?" I desperately needed to change the subject. For
the sake of my heart and lungs, I needed to calm down.
"I think that is pretty obvious. I m talking to you," he said teasingly. I rolle
d my eyes.
"I mean... besides that,"
"Nothing, I was reading," he paused, "I was reading your story,"
My stomach twisted in nervousness. I could feel tingles inside.
"You were?"
"Yes, it made me curious,"
"Why?" I sat on the armrest of the couch; my legs would give up anytime. Jeez, h
ow did his voice affect me this much?
"The last chapters were written with so much passion," he commented "do you like
someone, Jules?"
My heart skipped a beat. I clang to the phone for dear life.
"I-I..." I stuttered not knowing what to reply.
Did I like someone?
He was asking the question I d been avoiding for a while now.

I was deeply afraid of the answer.

x M W L X
YES! YES! YES! It s a cliffhanger!! Shoot me potatoes, kill me, cut me in pieces
! You have the right to do so, but remember, if you hurt the writer, there ll be

My Wattpad Love

Chapter 10

I was stupid, really really stupid.

I was stuttering, uttering incoherent sentences and laughing nervously. Evan s q

uestion had definitely caught me out of guard. I didn t know what to answer so I
did the stupidest thing I d ever done in my life. And believe me, I d done many
.

I hung up.

I held my chest trying to calm my breathing. I stared at the phone in shock. Why
did I do that? what the hell was wrong with me? I covered my face and growled i
n anger. I was angry at myself for being so stupid. How could I do that? It was
beyond to rude to hang up like that. What was he going to think of me now? In my
defense, I panicked. It was like a reflex movement, besides, I wasn t saying mu
ch. I was only embarrassing myself by stuttering and mumbling unfinished sentenc
es.

His question kept replaying inside my head. Did I like someone? Why was I so afr

aid of the answer? Sure I could forget about it and pretended nothing happened b
ut there was no point of fooling myself.

Because I, Julie Ann Jones, sort of liked someone. I furrowed my eyebrows as I r

ealized this.

Evan...

I definitely felt attracted to him. Yes, call me crazy. I know it was crazy. I m
ean, I hadn t even seen the guy. I had no idea of what he looked like but someho
w that didn t matter. I had fun talking to him. I even enjoyed arguing with him,
which was pretty often by the way. he made butterflies appear in my stomach. No
t to mention how nervous I became when I heard his voice. I didn t want to imagi
ne what would happen to me if I see him. I would probably die of a respiratory a
rrest, which would be a very lame death.

Sighing I fell backwards on my couch. How did I end up liking him? I was sure I
hated him at the beginning. He insulted me for God sakes! He made a rude comment
about my story. I remembered that as clear as water. I ran my fingers through m
y hair. Maybe, I was a masochist.

The phone ran making me jump. I stared at it in silence, I didn t move for a whi
le. But then I realized my stare was not going to stop the phone from ringing so
I extended my shaking hand slowly towards it. What if it was Evan? What if it w
as the Ruffles factory manager to tell me they were not going to make any more
Ruffles? I swallowed, terrified by both options.

"Hello?" I answered trying to keep a straight voice.

"Jules!" I relaxed as I heard Laura s voice. Ruffles were safe.

"Hey, Lau, what s up?"

"What s up?!" she imitated my voice. It was then I noticed she sounded angry "wh
y are you ignoring me on facebook?"

"What?"

"Great, now you re deaf,"

"What are you talking about?"

"You re online on face book and you keep ignoring my messages," she explained.

"I do?" I frowned and then spotted my opened laptop on the couch "Oh, i was... y
eah, I was online but I was not on the computer,"

"Really?" she asked sarcastically.

"Stop it with the attitude, Lau. I was.... busy," I finished unsure.

"You re telling me you are busy in a Saturday s morning?" she asked skeptically
.

"Yeah, I was..." Think of something, Jules. I encouraged myself "I was peeing,"

Really? That was the best excuse I could come up with?

"I ve been peeing a lot," I further explained.

Great move, Jules.

"Right," Lau sounded uncomfortable. I was not good at lying, I usually got verba
l diarrhea whenever I was trying to lie.

"Yeah, there s something wrong with my bladder,"

God, I really knew how to extend my misery.

"Hum, okay,"

Just shut up! Stop talking about your bladder!

"Maybe, I drank too much water. My bladder is probably small,"

"Oh God! Shut up, Jules! You suck at lying, Jesus!" Laura exclaimed and then lau
ghed. I couldn t help joining her laughter. I had managed to talk more than two
minutes about my bladder.

"Sorry," I said after laughing my ass off.

"It s cool. Anyway, what I was trying to tell you on face book was that I think
I like someone at school,"

"Really?" I was shocked. Laura had not been lucky with guys. Her last boyfriend
dumped her for some transferring student from Jamaica. After that she swore not
to trust any other man. I couldn t blame her, she d been hurt a lot of times.

"Yeah, he is way out of my league, but I think you could help me out,"

"Who is it?"

"Jordan," she whispered secretly.

"Jordan? Shane s best friend?" I asked in disbelief. Laura giggled.

"Yeah,"

"Are you on drugs?"

"Jules.."

"He is an arrogant douche, just like Shane. It doesn t surprise me they re best
friends,"

"I know he s a player," Laura admitted "but I think he has a side no one knows a
bout. He s in my art class, and he is very passionate about it. He loves paintin
g and his eyes turned so bright when he speaks of art. He looks so sweet,"

"He is a player, Lau,"

"I know,"

"Then why are we even having this conversation? Just stay away from him," yeah,
i was being overprotective but hey, she was my best friend. I didn t want her to
get hurt. I d watched her cry over men many times. I d eaten ice cream and watc
hed romance movies as she sobbed snuggling to me. I d been with her in every tim
e she d got her heart broken. I didn t want her to go through that again.

"I m just saying I like him, I m not in love with him or anything like that,"

"Then stop liking him," Laura sighed.

"It s not that easy,"

"Try,"

"It is useless. Every time I see him..." she paused and I swear I could imagine
the dreamy face she was making.

"I don t even know why you tell me this, you re not even listening to me," I spo
ke defeated.

"Youre my best friend, who else am I going to share these stuff with?" Instantly,
I felt guilty. I hadn t tld her anything about Evan. should I? But what was I g
oing to say?

Hey, Lau, I liked this guy I met on the internet a few weeks ago. I hadn t even

seen him

It didn t sound reasonable for me to tell her that. After chatting about random
stuff, she hung up. She was going to her dancing class. Laura loved dancing. I,
on the other hand, hated it. I just sucked at it. I couldn t dance to save my li
fe.

Grasping my laptop, I swallowed getting ready to deal with Evan. I checked my w

attpad chat box. He was online but he hadn t written anything to me. Was he mad
at me? It was understandable, I would be mad at him. I mean, I d abruptly hung u
p. Nervously, I sent him a message.

Me: You there?

He took a few minutes to reply. I was growing more and more nervous.

Him: Yeah.
Me: Sorry about before.
Him: You mean, you re sorry for hanging up on me?

Me: Yeah, I was just...

Peeing? I couldn t make the same mistake twice. I was not that stupid. I retyped
my message,

Me: I was just feeding my cat.

Him: I thought you were allergic to cats.

I was indeed, when did I tell him that? My memory was not really good.

Me: Hum, I wear gloves around it.

Really, Jules, really?

Him: You re telling you have a cat even though you re allergic and you feed it w
earing gloves?

me: Yeah.

I was pathetic.

Him: You really can t lie, can you?

I sighed defeated.

Me: Nope, sorry, I was surprised by your question.

Him: Why?

Me: Why did you ask me that?

Him: I told you I was curious.

Me: Why?

Him: Your story got me thinking about it. You wrote it like you knew how it feel
s to like someone.

Me: Everyone knows that.

Him: Sure but writers know about what they write. You seem to have experienced w
hat you were writing.

Me: Hum, okay.

Him: Okay? Let s make a deal.

I narrowed my eyes at the screen.

Me: What deal?

Him: I ll forgive you for hanging up on me if you answer the question.

Me: What question?

Him: Do you like someone?

i couldn t help the funny feeling in my stomach when I read the question again.
I could still hear his sexy voice saying those words when he asked me that over
the phone.

Me: I ll answer if you answer one of my questions.

There were many things I d asked him and he hadn t bothered replying.

Him: Deal.

Me: Yes, I like someone.

Him: ;) Who is it?

Me: No, that s another question. Now, it s my turn. How old are you?

Him: I m older than you.

Me: not enough, I want a digit.

Him: 19 ;)

He was two years older than me. That wasn t much, considering I was getting clos
er to my eighteen birthday.

Me: Cool.

Him: So, who is it?

Me: Drop it. Im not telling you.

Him: I ll tell you where I live if you tell who you like.

That was such a tempting offer. But there was no way I was telling him he was th
e one I liked.

Me: So what are you doing?

Him: nice try. Why can t you tell me? It s not like Ill know the person you like.

Me: That s personal stuff. I don t want to say it, okay?

Him: Why are you making such a big deal of this?

Me: Why can t you just drop it?

Him: I m just intrigued by your secretiveness.

Me: Evan, let it go,

Him: Fine, whatever.

Me: Are you mad at me?

Him: Nah, you should study Math. I ll see you around.

His curt goodbye confirmed my suspects: He was upset. He was still online but he
was not talking to me. I spend some time watching YouTube videos but got bored
pretty quickly. It was eating me from the insides to know he was online and not
talking to me.

Sighing in defeat, I went to his profile ad my heart sank in my chest. He was ta

lking to the same girl from the other day. All their messages were on his messag
e s board. They were flirting shamelessly. I was hurt, not only because I was je
alous but because he had stopped chatting with me to talk to her. It was like he
was choosing her over me.

God, I had to stop being so dramatic. He was some guy I met on wattpad. I looked
down notcing the tears filling my eyes.

Seriously, Jules? You re going to cry over some guy you haven t even seen?

I held back tears and opened Evan s chat box.

Me: You didn t need to ditch me to flirt with that girl.

I sent the message and instantly regretted it. What was wrong with me?

Me: I mean, I could have given you some tips to make her fall for you.

I sent that second message in a pathetic attempt of fixing it. He didn t reply a
nd that made me feel worse. I could see him replying to the girl on his message
board so he was obviously there ignoring me.

Evan was ignoring me and it hurt. I slammed my laptop closed. I needed t get som
e fresh air. I needed someone to talk to. I changed into a pair of jeans and a p
urple t-shirt that matched my purple converse. I combed my hair with my fingers
and then searched for my phone. I called Jason but he didn t pick up. Was he sti
ll avoiding me? He was definitely overreacting about the entire seeing-naked s
ituation. I didn t bother calling Laura. She was probably in her dancing class.
That thing could last for hours.
Who else?

I realized I didn t have many friends. It probably had to do with the fact that
I was a shy person and I barely talked to anyone at school. But seriously, two f
riends? Well, at least, they were true friends. I stared at my phone watching ho
w the mails from comments and messages from wattpad were being received. They re
minded me of Evan. I felt really sad, I really needed a distraction.

So, I found myself dialing Jerkpid s number. Even though, I was still mad at him
for playing with me in the kitchen the other day. He was the only one who appar
ently could answer his phone after the first ring,

"Hello there," his arrogant voice made me regret calling him.

"Hey, Shane,"

"Oh Jones, I knew you couldn t survive without me," I swear I could see him smir
king "You miss me, babe?"

"Cut it out, Mr. Flirt,"

"Mr. Flirt?" he laughed for a moment.

"Yeah, listen," I didn t know what to say or how to say it, "what are you doing?
"

"Men s stuff, why?" I narrowed my eyes and then felt stupid because he could not
see me.

"You re trying to get a girl for the night, aren t you?" I heard him gasp.

"You read my mind! I knew you were a witch. Your bad choice of clothes gave it a
way,"

"That doesn t make any sense, you idiot,"

"It does to me," he chuckled "as much as your call pleases me, I cannot help but
wonder the reason behind it,"

"Hum, I was wondering if you... we could... I..." I trailed off nervously.

"If you want a date with me, just say it, babe,"

"Not a date and stop calling me babe," I paused as I knew he was waiting for me
to speak "I just need someone to talk to," I blurted out and froze. Shane stayed
in silence for a few seconds.

"Well, we are talking, aren t we?"

"I mean, I need to get out of my house, get some fresh air and since I live in t
he middle of nowhere. I m stuck here unless someone picks me up,"

"And you thought that someone could be me," he finished for me.

"Yeah,"

"Why would I get my precious car out of my garage and drive to the middle of now
here to pick up a girl who has claimed to hate me passionately?" my brain took i
ts time to understand the long question.

"Is that a no?" I asked confused.

"No, it means I need an incentive, a stimulus to do it. What do you have to offe
r, Jones?"

"Hum, cookies?"

"Not enough,"

"Chips?"

"Try harder,"

"Ruffles?" I was sacrificing my little buddies for this. I couldn t believe it.

"That may work but I need something else,"

"I don t have anything else to give you,"

"Yes, you do,"

"What do you want?" I placed my free hand on my hip impatiently.

"I ll tell you when I get there but you have to promise you will do it,"

"I m not going to have sex with you," I warned just in case. Shane laughed.

"It s not sex, Jones. You couldn t get me hard even you try,"

"What s that supposed to mean?"

"Never mind, want me to pick you up or not?"

"Yes,"

"then promise it,"

"Fine, I promise I will do what you want when you get here,"

"Alright, I ll be there on five," he hung up.

Five minutes? What was he? A fast and furious driver? I shook my head, I felt l
ike I made a mistake but oh well, anything was better than staying alone in my h
ouse watching how Evan ignored me as he flirted with some stupid girl. Shane was
a pain in the ass but he could at least entertain me for a while. I enjoyed get
ting under his skin.

But I wasn t certainly not prepared for what was about to come.

Chapter 11

"This is a bad idea" I whispered to no one in particular whilst I was going down
stairs. I could hear Shane s horn from the outside. It seemed like he was playin
g the drums on his horn.
"I m coming!" I shouted hoping he could hear me through the noise he was making.
I opened the front door and closed it behind me. The fresh morning breeze hit m
y skin and I instantly felt better. It didn t surprise me to see a SUV parked in
front of my house. It was a Honda CR V 2010. Shanes family had money; I knew thi
s because of my mother. She usually told me things I wasn t interested in.
Shane got off the SUV and walked around it to face me. He was wearing worn jeans
and a loose black t-shirt. His pale skin stood out of it. His hair was purpos
ely messy giving him his usual bad boy look. I couldnt help but notice the amusem
ent plastered on his face. He walked towards me, smirking.
What? I asked curious. He was up to something, I could tell.
Nothing, where are my chips? he said frowning at my empty hands.
I thought you said chips were not enough motivation,
I said I wanted the chips, plus your promise of doing whatever I want,
Except sex, I felt the need to point that out. Shane chuckled.
You really think I would have sex with you? he pointed me and gave me an are-you-o

ut of-your-mind look. Ok, I must admit that hurt my ego. I narrowed my eyes at hi
m.
Whatever, I ran out of chips, I lied shamelessly Besides, I think my promise is eno
ugh, I folded my arms across my chest and lifted my chin defiantly. Shane opened
his mouth to protest but I raised my hand stopping him, lets go, I ordered walking
past him. He had no choice but to follow me.
I got inside his SUV. Instantly, the smell of spices and a delicious man s perfu
me hit my nostrils. It was really warm and comfortable here. I could really get
used to be in this car. Shane got in the driver s seat and started the engine. H
e drove off and I wondered where he was taking me. He hadn t said a word.
"Where are we going?" I noticed we were heading to town.
"McDonalds,"
"McDonalds? Why?" I scowled at him, "I m not hungry," ok, that was a lie and my
stomach fought for honesty by roaring like a caged lion. Shane laughed softly.
"You sure about that?" I glared at him.
"Listen," I ignored his question "I don t have any money on me," I admitted emba
rrassed. It was better to tell him now that when we were ordering or something.
"Don t worry about that, today the food is on me," I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Why are you being so nice to me? What are you up to?" Shane grinned like a cat
getting in the line to the auto-mac.
"I can be nice,"
"No, you can t," I was about to interrogate him further when it was our turn to
order. I let him order whatever he wanted for me. It was embarrassing enough for
me to let him pay.
We were soon on road again, leaving the town behind us. Where were we going? I f
urrowed my eyebrows but didn t bother asking him. He pulled over in the middle o
f the lonely road.
"Why are we stopping here?" I asked worried about my safety. Was he going to fee
d me, then kill me and throw my body in a river? I really needed to stop watchin
g CSI episodes. They were making me paranoid. Shane, being the stupid jerk he wa
s, ignored me and jumped out of the SUV. I got off as well. Food in hand, Shane
started walking inside the woods "Shane? Where are you going?"
"Just follow me," he shouted back. Groaning in frustration, I started to follow
him. I hated walking in the forest. Don t get me wrong, I loved nature and all.
The thing is that I had no skills whatsoever when it came to walk on a rocky bus
hy surface.
"Shane!" I tried getting his attention but I was again simply ignored. Everyone
seemed to ignore me today, first Evan and now Shane. What was I doing here anywa
y? It wasn t like Jerkpid was my friend. It was costing me all my strength and c
oncentration to catch up with him. Starting with the fact that he was significan
tly taller than me which meant his steps were larger.
"Shane! Where are w-ah!" I stepped on a rock and I swear I saw everything in slo
w motion. I tried not to fall, really tried, but of course I failed. I could see
the ground getting closer and closer to me. I ended up falling on my hands and

knees. Shane s laughter echoed through the silent woods.

"You...face..." I could understand a word he was saying. Basically, because he w
asn t uttering a coherent sentence. He was too busy laughing whilst clutching hi
s stomach. I got on my feet and shook the dust of my pants and hands.
"Hilarious," I said sarcastically. Shane stopped laughing and wiped his tears aw
ay.
"You entertain me, Jones,"
"Why did you bring me here?" I folded my arms across my chest "if you re going t
o kill me, you could have done it in the house. We were alone,"
"You always think I want to kill you," he stated frowning "I m not a killer, you
know," he gave his back to me and got on his way.
After going through 1352 trees, stepping on 123 rocks and almost falling 10 time
s, we finally reached our destination. Ok, maybe I exaggerated the numbers a lit
tle bit but I was exhausted. I was no longer walking, I was dragging myself thro
ugh the trees. Shane looked perfect, he didn t even look tired. He was a footbal
l player, I bet this was nothing to him. I rested my back against a tree. I was
out of breath, I would probably pass out if I continue walking. I was really out
of shape.
"We re here," Shane informed from some place ahead of me.
"Yay!" I exclaimed sarcastically. It was then I looked forwards and my jaw dropp
ed to the ground. We were in front of a mighty river, you could see the giant tr
ess surrounding it. There was grass everywhere, lining the river bank "wow," I s
aid breathless, literally "This is... wow," I swallowed feeling my dry throat. S
hane sat down and proceed to open his bag of food. He glanced at me over his sho
ulder.
"Are you going to stand there all day?" He said giving his hamburger a bite. My
mouth watered, I was starving. Motivated by hunger, I approached to him and sat
down next to him. He gave me my food and stared at the lake. To say I was confus
ed was an understatement. Why did he bring me here? This looked like a... Jeez,
I couldn t even think about that word.
Date...
Yeah, this looked like a date. But it was not a date, right? We ate our food sil
ently. I gazed at the river in silence. It was refreshing to hear the noises of
the water running through the rocks. I glanced at Shane, he seemed to be enjoyin
g the sight. His hazel eyes had a glint I d never seen before. His full lips wer
e forming a genuine smile. He looked at me and we locked gazes. I swallowed.
"Why are we here?" I had to ask. Shane s smile turned into a smirk.
"Well, I couldn t risk my reputation by taking you to a public place, so" he shr
ugged his shoulders. I got on my feet feeling insulted, Shane imitated my moveme
nts.
"You are a jerk," I said frankly.
"So what? You still owe me,"
"What do you want?" I folded my arms across my chest for the second time this da
y.

"What do I want?" He held his chin as if he was deep in thought.

"Just say it," I pushed even when I was kind of scared of what he could possibly
want me to do. I mean, he was a jerk. Who knows what kind of twisted thoughts w
ent through his head?
"Do you really want to know?" he cocked an eyebrow teasingly.
"Yes,"
"I want a kiss," my eyes widened in shock and my lips parted. I couldn t help bl
ushing fiercely. Shane was looking right into my eyes, hovering me. My heart sta
rted hammering inside my chest.
"No,"
"Why not?" he titled his head to the side and took a step closer to me.
"I-I don t... no,"
"You re going to break your promise?" he asked approaching to me. I was about to
take a step back when he grabbed my arm "If you break your promise, I may just
steal the kiss then,"
"No, let me go!" I fought to release myself. Shane let me go and burst out laugh
ing. I frowned at him.
"You really entertain me," he said among laughter and gave his back to me. He sa
t on a rock.
"You were joking?" I asked in disbelief.
"Of course I was joking," he stated as it was the most obvious thing in the worl
d "I would never kiss you," his words stung. He really enjoyed hurting my ego. I
swallowed my hurt pride and put on a careless facade.
"Then what do you want?"
"I need your help,"
"If you tell me to help you with Math, I swear to God I ll-"
"No," he cut me off "I won t make the same mistake twice,"
"Good,"
"I want you to help me with Melissa,"
"Melissa?" I asked confused "Who is Melissa?"
"The hot chick in my math class,"
"Are you serious?" I moved my hands exasperated.
"Yeah," he nodded, "she seems immune to my charms, besides, she s not only hot b
ut really smart,"
"She sure is smart for not falling for your looks,"

"Yeah, she s a genius," Shane looked up at the sky and sighed.

"You re in love with her?"
"No, I just want to screw her but damn, she s playing hard to get and I ve been
hard for a while now so,"
"Oh my God! Shane! You are such a pervert!"
"What? I ve being honest here,"
"Save your honesty for yourself," I scrunched my nose "and how on Earth am I goi
ng t help you? I don t even know her,"
"Talk to her or something. Tell her I m great in the sac or something like that,
"
"Wow, you suck at making plans. I can t just go and talk her all of the sudden,"
"Yes, you can and you will. You owe me," I groaned in frustration. I knew this w
as a bad idea, why didn t I listen to my smart inner voice? Suddenly, an idea ca
me t me.
"Fine, fine but I have one condition."
"I reject it,"
"Then there s no deal," I shot back. Shane gave me a suspicious look.
"What do you want?"
"A kiss," I teased grinning. Shane chuckled.
"Very funny,"
"No, actually, I want you to help Laura with Jordan,"
"Who the hell is Laura?"
"My best friend, she s been your neighbor for years,"
"I don t know her,"
"Whatever, help her out and we have a deal,"
"Jordan is kind of picky when it comes to girls," Shane added.
"I dont care, that s the deal. Take it or leave it,"
"Fine fine," Shane agreed and we shook hands.
After our little pact, Shane decided to climb some rocky waterfall. I sat on a r
ock and watched him, hoping he could fall in the water or something like that bu
t damn he was skilled. He knew exactly how to climb. I got my phone out of my po
cket, feeling bored. My heart started beating fast whilst I was scrolling down t
he mails from wattpad. I stopped breathing when I read one specific mail:
"DarkPoet001 sent you a message"

I clicked the message opened and proceeded to read it:

"I don t need your help :) The girl already fell for me,"
My chest tightened painfully. I knew he was talking about the girl he was flirti
ng with. He was replying to my earlier message when I offered him to help him wi
th the girl. I would not show him how much this was getting to me. It was a good
thing, he couldn t see me because my face was a mirror of my emotions right in
this moment. I started typing a message for him,
Me: I m happy for you then.
I was surprised by the quickness of his reply,
Him: thank you ;)
Me: No problem.
Him: She s really hot.
God, he was killing me. Couldn t he see it?
Me: Good for you.
Him: She s realistic and has dark vision of the world like me. We have so much i
n common.
Me: Good.
Him: Her voice is really sexy.
That was it. I couldn t take it anymore. I couldn t talk to him any longer.
Me: Hum, I gotta go.
Him: Why?
Me: I m on a date.
I really don t know why I said that. I was just so hurt that I wanted him to fee
l the same. I wanted to hurt him.
Him: Really? With who?
Me: You don t know him.
Him: You re lying.
Me: I m not lying. Why would I lie?
Him: I don t know.
Me: I m not lying, alright?
Him: Sure.
Me: Evan...
Him: You can date whoever you want. I don t really care.

Me: Why are you being such a jerk?

Him: I m being honest.
Me: You re being rude and mean.
Him: I m being frank.
Me: You really don t care about me, do you?
Him: Why would I? You re just some girl I met on the internet.
Ok, that was harsh. Tears sprung to my eyes. I bit my lower lip trying to hold t
hem back. I shoved my phone inside my pocket and took a deep breath in.
Don t cry, Jules, don t cry.
I chanted inside my head with my eyes closed. What was wrong with him? I knew I
was not just some girl he met on the internet. We were friends, we had talked so
much. He knew everything about me, I knew almost everything about him. Why woul
d he say that? I opened my eyes to meet... a shirtless Shane?
"Jones!" he screamed loudly. He was standing precariously on a rock at the top o
f the waterfall. His six pack was on sight, he was grinning like a maniac.
"What the hell are you doing?!" I shouted scared. I was not a fan of Shane but h
e could seriously kill himself if he jumped off that rock.
"I m having fun," he said before jumping off the rock.
"No!" he dived in the water majestically, splashing water to me. I shrieked back
ing away but my t-shirt was damp in a matter of seconds Shane emerged from the w
ater and laughed. His brownish blond hair looked dark and wet
"You stupid egocentric jerk!" I screamed angry. Quickly, I took my phone and put
it far away from the water. The last thing I needed was my phone to get wet and
damaged. I really couldn t afford another one. My eyes landed on the screen and
my heart came to a halt. Evan had replied. His reply fastened my breathing and
increased my heart beats. His words were melting me. I couldn t help reading the
m over and over again:
"I like you, Jules,"

My Wattpad Love
Chapter 12

I was going to die. Period.

I was breathless, literally, there was no air entering my lungs. I had stopped b
reathing in the exact moment I read Evan s message. My heart was beating so fast
inside my chest that I could feel the beats in my throat and ears. What was wro
ng with me? It was only a message. I needed to breathe. There was no way I was d
ying now, at least not without replying his message.
But what was I supposed to say? He said he liked me. God, Evan admitted he liked
me. A giggle escaped my lips ending my self-inflicted respiratory arrest. I no
longer felt butterflies in my stomach, they were more like eagles now. Unicorns
and flowers were going to erupt from my pores anytime soon. wow, that was too mu
ch, wasn t it?
Act cool and natural...
I started typing a message but erased it over and over again.
Should I tell him I liked him, too?
I really sucked at these types of things. There should be books about what to do
in this situation. You know tips to date.
There are books about it, you idiot.
My inner voice snapped at me. Yeah yeah, I guess I should really read one of tho
se. Focusing on my phone, I typed a reply.
Me: I like you, too.
I swallowed a lump in my throat and sent it. My hands were sweaty. He didn t rep
ly for a few minutes, those were the longest minutes of my life by the way.
Him: I know ;)
I narrowed my eyes at his chesty reply.
Me: Arrogant much?
Him: It s the truth. I knew you like me.
Me: How?

Him: You re too obvious.

Me: No, I m not. Wait... you like me...as a friend or...?

Him: You know the answer to that question.
Me: I do?

Him: Yes ;)
Me: I don t think so.
Him: ;)
Me: Evan...
Him: Yeah?
Me: never mind.
Him: what is it?
Me: I want to know...
Him: what?
Me: You can t expect me to be all cool after we admitted to like each other.
Him: why are you making a big deal of this?
Me: It is a big deal to me.
Him: Why? You haven t even seen me.

I typed a reply and clicked send then, I heard the most terrifying sound I d h
eard in my life: My phone s low battery signal.
"No,no,no,no" I exclaimed terrified "you can t do this to me," I begged to the
device in my hands. I was literally on my hands and knees waiting for the messag
e to be sent.
Sending...
Sending...
"Come on!" I was starting to panic. and then it happened.
My stupid selfish idiotic phone went off.
"No! Damn it! Arg!" I groaned and let out a sigh of frustration. Did Evan get my
message? Did I send it? What was he thinking now?
"Jones!" Shane s voice got my attention.
"What?" I asked annoyed glancing at him over my shoulder. He was floating around
the water with a huge grin plastered on his face. I got up and turned to him.
"What?" I repeated.
"Get in the water,"
"Ehh... let me think about it," I held my chin pretending to be deep in thought,
"No, never, nah, nei, not gonna happen," I gave him a closed mouth smile. Shane
narrowed his eyes at me.

"come on, it s really warm,"

"I said no,"
"It s better if you get here willingly,"
"What s that supposed to mean?" Shane gave me a devilish smile.
"You wouldn t want me to drag you here, would you?"
"Oh, you wouldn t,"
"Yes, I would,"
"You wouldn t," I shook my head taking a step backwards. Shane started swimming
to the river bank. I took three more steps backwards.
Run!
"I know what you re thinking," Shane said getting out of the water. He was shirt
less. His abdomen was on sight and I really needed self-control not to stare. Hi
s pants were damped sticking to his muscular legs, "I would catch you in a heart
beat if you try to run," he whispered darkly.
Being the half-witted person I was, I turned on my feet and ran for my life. Rem
ember the fact that I was not good at walking through the forest? Well, imagine
how much I sucked at running through it. I grimaced in pain as the rocks hit my
feet. It was a good thing I had my converse.
I felt stupid. What was I think
ing? It was useless to run. Shane was a football player; he was taller and faste
r than me so what was the point of running?
To save your dignity.
I kept my futile attempt of escape ignoring the pain in my toes each time I step
ped on a rock. I really needed to learn how to walk on this type of surface. If
I ever got to a survival situation, you know like when people get lost in the wo
ods or the plane crashed in an isolated island; I was sure I was going to be dea
d before I could even realized I was in a life and death situation. My survival
instincts sucked big day.
"Jones!" Shane wrapped his arm around my waist from behind. I shrieked and felt
a dj vu sensation. This was exactly how it happened that day I tried to run from h
im.
"Let go of me!" I was not going to give up without putting up a fight. I struggl
ed, kicked, screamed and even tried to bite his arm. Shane didn t even flinch or
made no attempt to let me go.
"Stop struggling!" He exclaimed steadying me. I growled like a savage animal. It
was then he pressed me against his body and I could feel his wet naked torso on
my back. I could feel the heat coming from his skin. Shivers went through my sp
ine as his hot breath began brushing the back of my neck.
"Shane, let me go," I said each word slowly but couldn t help feeling nervous. W
e were too close for my like. Too closed.
"Nope," Shane stated and bended over to lift me and carry me bridal style.
"No! No!" I screamed hitting his hard chest as he walked back to the river. He w

as carrying effortlessly as if I weighed nothing "Shane! Stop! Don t do it! I wi

ll kill you!" Shane grinned down at me as he reached the river bank "Shane! Don
t do it! Please! I..."
Think of something, Jules!
"I can t swim!" Wow, it was the first time I was actually telling a good reasona
ble lie.
"It s not a deep river," was Shane s reply before throwing me to the water. I sc
reamed so loud, I swear I saw birds and owls running away from these woods. I la
nded on a big amount of cold water. I was swallowed by the river for a few secon
ds, my entire body shook by the unexpected change of temperature. I felt like sm
all needles were piercing my bones softly. I emerged to the surface taking a puf
f of air, Shane was standing on a rock laughing.
"You stupid prick! You Idiotic self-centered bastard! You... You..." I was reall
y angry but I was also running out insults. It wasn t like I had a big variety a
nyway, I was not a violent person but Shane definitely knew how to make me one "
I m going to kill you!" I promised him and I was really thinking about hitting h
im with a rock and throw him his body to the river. Jeez, I really needed to sto
p watching thrillers "You are so dead!" I yelled at him swimming to the rock whe
re he was. I was pissed off. I was not a fan of water besides this was freaking
cold. I was going to die of hypothermia.
"How is the water?" He asked smirking at me.
"I hope you choke with your own saliva!" I aimed my finger at him "whats wrong wi
th you?!"
"Oh, nothing, just thought you may need a bath. You stung," I glared at him.
"I hate you," I said passionately.
"No, you don t. I m too hot to be hated,"
"You have a big ego, don t you?" I stared up at him.
"Yes," he replied arrogantly.
"I bet that s the only big thing you have," It was my time to smirk up at him. S
hane narrowed his eyes at me.
"Nice one, Jones, but I suggest you don t start something you can t finish," he
folded his arms across his chest.
"What do you mean?" I frowned confused. He squatted to be at my level.
re

"You

too innocent for your own good," he patted my head. I gave him a killer look, I
got my hands on the rock to push myself up but slipped back down.
"Jesus, this is slippery and wet," I complained.
"That s what she said," Shane chuckled. I made a gag gesture.
"You are disgusting," I said finally getting out of the water. My clothes were s
ticking to my body. Shane s hazel eyes dropped from my face to chest and went do
wn to my legs. I swallowed "Hey!" I snapped my fingers in front of his face, "we

re you checking me out?"

"I just realized you have an okay body. I mean, you re too skinny but I could st
ill fu-"
"Shane!" I punched his chest "You are such a pervert!" my lower lip quivered fro
m the cold. I was sure I was turning purple.
"Let s go back before you pass out from the cold," he said starting to walk to t
he woods. I glared at his back whilst following him.

**

"Mom! I m home!" I shouted getting inside my house but of course I got no reply.
My mother was probably still at the hospital. Shane had brought me home and the
n drove off saying he had something to do, well, he actually said he was going t
o bang someone or something like that. I couldn t remember his words but I kne
w they were nasty. I let myself fall on my couch and closed my eyes.
Evan...
He hadn t left my mind in the entire day. How was it possible to like someone yo
u haven t even seen? My phone was off so I plugged it to the nearest electric ou
tlet and took a shower. After putting some warm clothes on, I went downstairs. I
picked up my laptop and turned it on. Checking wattpad, I noticed my last messa
ge hadn t been sent just I expected. I sent a message saying hi to Evan but he d
idn t reply. That was how my boring Saturday started. I had nothing to do, well,
I actually needed to do my homework but I didnt feel like doing it right now.

The night arrived and I was lying on my couch, checking wattpad each five minute
s. Where was he? Most of the time he was online, it was weird not to get an inst
ant reply from him. My face brightened up when I saw him online.
Him: Hi back.
Me: Finally, you re here.
Him: you were waiting for me? ;)
Me: Hum, kind of.
Him: haha I know you can t live without me, peachy girl.
me: I thought we have gotten over the nicknames stage.
Him: Never.
Me: I should make up a pet name for you then.
Him: Nah, you re not creative enough, Mrs. Strawberry.
Me: Right.

Him: Do you have Skype?

My heart stopped, ok, not literally because if my heart stopped I would be dead
in a matter of seconds but you get my meaning. The eagles inside my stomach star
ted fluttering making me feel nervous. Of course, I had Skype. It was program de
sign to video chat. I usually used it with Laura or even Jason.
Me: Yes, why?
I squeezed my sweaty hands waiting for his reply.
Him: Add me.
He gave me his Skype account and I was too socked to do something.
Me: You want to video chat... right now?
Him: Yes ;)
I clicked the Skype program opened in my laptop and logged in my account. I proc
eed to add him and he accepted me very quickly. My God, i wasn t ready to see hi
m. My heart was hammering inside my chest, my throat was dry. My stomach kept fl
uttering, I felt like I was going to be sick anytime soon.
I was going to see him...
I was going to see Evan for the first time...
I needed to breathe, I couldn t pass out.
His chat window on Skype popped up and it started loading the images from both c
ameras, his and mine. I combed my hair with my fingers desperately. Jeez, I was
not prepared for this.
What if he sees me and thinks I m ugly?
What does he look like?
Many questions were prowling around my collapsed mind. The loading process ended
and the little boxes were our images displayed turned black before showing both
of us. My heart skipped a beat as I looked at the face of the boy I liked for t
he first time.
"Hi," he whispered with that sexy voice of his.

Chapter 13

Three words.

Evan

Was

Extremely

Hot.

Ok, those were actually four words but you can t blame me for not thinking strai
ght right now. My eyes were glued to the square on my laptop s screen. I was sta
ring at the most sexy hot guy I d ever seen in my life. He was not the muscled h
ot type; he was more like the sexy mysterious hot type of guy. His hair was midn
ight black; it was all shaggy partly covering his ears and forehead. His pale sk
in was flawless. His dark eyes seemed to go on forever. His thick eyebrows leade
d the way down to straight-edged shape nose and finally, his full lips. He was w
earing a black t-shirt that matched his eyes and hair. I was speechless.

I had never felt so self-conscious. He was probably thinking I was ugly. My brow
n hair was falling messily down my shoulders and I had no make-up on whatsoever.
I wasn t hot or anything like that. I was average. I had a pair of big blue eye
s that was all I d got.

"Hey," I finally greeted him back nervously. My pounding heart was going to jump
out of my chest. The eagles inside my stomach turned into dragons and fluttered
around making feel sick.

I was seeing him....

He was seeing me...

Oh God, what was he thinking of me?

"So you re Jules?" he asked smiling at me through the camera. his voice sent a s
hiver through my spine.

"So you re Evan," I tried to say casually and swallowed feeling my dry throat. W
here the hell did all my saliva go?

"Are you alone?" his black eyes seemed to be swallowing in a slow but steady pro
cess. I nodded at his question, "so, tell me, how is it that a girl like you end
ed up being my friend?" it hurt to hear him say friend it made me wonder if wh
en he d said he liked me, did he mean it as a friend? But I pushed the thought a
way.

"What do you mean a girl like me ?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Well, you are all happiness and love while I m a negative realistic jerk,"

"You re admitting you re a jerk?" I cocked an eyebrow.

"I never said I wasn t," he smirked at me and my heart skipped a beat. Cute dimp
les appeared on his cheeks making him look devilish adorable.

Breathe, Jules, Breathe

"I could ask you the same thing. I thought you hated me," I was trying to act ca
sual but I was failing miserably.

"Why are you so nervous?" he tilted his head to the side. Amusement plastered on
his face.

"I m not nervous," I said in a puff.

"Yes, you are," he teased and I looked away.

"So, what s up?" I looked at his image on the screen again and he still had that
arrogant smirk on his face.

"I wanna try something," he whispered.

"What?"

"What color is your underwear?" my eyes widened and I couldn t help blushing fie
rcily. My face was as red as a tomato.

"You..." An insult didn t come to my mind. Evan laughed loudly. God, even his la
ughter was sexy. I glared at him until he was done laughing.

"I knew you would do that,"

"What? "

"Blush like that, you re so innocent, Jules," his eyes held a glint of something
I couldn t decipher.

"You are a pervert," I accused him.

"No, I am not," he ran his fingers through his hair messing it a little. I gawke
d at him like a stupid person. Anytime soon I was going to start drooling all ov

er my laptop "I just enjoying teasing you, Mrs. Strawberry," my breathe was caug
ht inside my lungs. Those nicknames sounded so good coming from him. Evan cleare
d his throat. I realized my mouth was hanging partly opened so I regained my com
posure and gave him a closed mouth smile.
"You should stop it with the pet names,"

"Why?"

"Because we re friends," I slurred the last word. Why was it that I couldn t dea
l with the fact that he thought of me as a friend? I mean, I understand him. We
met on the internet. It was not like he was going to like more than a friend, ri
ght? Those stuff didn t happen. We hadn t even faced each other personally. It w
as then I realized how bad I wanted to meet him in the real world, which brought
me to the next question I made "Where do you live?" Evan s smile vanished and h
e looked deadly serious for a moment.

"Are you stalking me again, Jules?" he pretended to be scared.

"No, I just want to know,"

"Why?"

"I m curious besides, you re my friend,"

"Does it matter?"

"Yes," I stated frankly. I watched him hesitate.

"I should go now," he said scratching the back of his head.

"No, don t leave,"

"I have things to do," he stated coldly.

"Why can t you just tell me? Do you seriously think I m going to stalk you?" I w

as confused. Evan let out a long sigh.

"We are miles away, Jules. That is all you need to know,"

"It s not enough," I needed to know.

"Yes, it is,"

"Jules," his dark eyes looked at me seriously. I felt like he was seeing right t
hrough me even when we were seeing each other over a web camera "Drop it," he wh
ispered and then logged off.

I stared at the black screen where his sexy face had been a few seconds ago. Why
couldn t he tell me? I shut my laptop and rubbed my face. What was I doing?

"We are miles away, Jules. That is all you need to know,"

Those words kept spinning around my head. My heart was sinking in my chest. Was
he telling the truth? What was I going to do if he was miles away from me? I rak
ed my fingers through my hair.

"What are you doing, Jules?" I wondered aloud. Evan was getting to me in a way I
d ever expected him to. I liked him, I really really liked him. In fact, he was
the first guy to make me feel so many things. All these sensations were new for
me but how was it possible? Was it possible to like someone that much without p
ersonally knowing him? I closed my eyes and let out of a long sigh. His face cam
e to mind.

He was so sexy, I smiled like a fool remembering the cute dimples that formed on
his cheeks when he smirked. I checked my phone, there were no new mails so Evan
hadn t messaged me. I looked down sadly and went upstairs. It was almost midnig
ht already.

I threw myself on my bed landing on my back. My eyes met the wooden ceiling, I s
tared at it in silence. I knew I was going to have a hard time falling sleep due
to my unhealthy sleeping routine. I tossed around my bed desperately. I wanted
to sleep so I didn t have to think. I was almost succeeding when my phone rang.
I checked the screen narrowing my eyes at the sudden amount of light.

ID
Jason Rocks :D

Yeah, he registered his number like that in my phone. I frowned. Did he finally
get over the me-seeing-him-naked incident?

"Hello?" I answered. There were noises and loud background music.

"Juuleeess!" A girl shouted sounding excited "Julieee!" it was then I recognized

the voice.

"Laura?" I sat up totally surprised.

"I lovee youu, Juleees! You know that, don t you?" she slurred excitedly. Wait..
.

"Are you drunk?" Lau was not the type of girl to drink. In fact, I d never seen
her drunk in my life.

"No, yes, no, I mean, yeah," she hiccupped "maybe,"

"What the hell... Where are you?" I demanded worried.

"This party is amazing! I... Jordan... he s so hot..."

"Lau, where are you?" I repeated my question swinging my feet out of bed.

"Amanda s party! Yeah!" she shouted and the people in the background followed he
r.
"Who the hell is Amanda? What are you doing there? Where s Jason?"

"Who s Jason?" Laura inquired laughing.

"Our friend, the owner of the phone you re using," I reminded her exasperated.

"Oh, Jay, jay!"

"Jay Jay?"

"That s his name," Lau giggled.

"Lau, I need to talk to Jason," I stated. It was obvious she was a lost cause.

"Oh wait... he s.... Jay Jay!" she called him out and I moved the phone away fro
m my ear. Jesus, she practically screamed in my eardrum "He s coming," there wer
e a lot of noises, voices, screams before I heard Jason s voice.

"Hello," his voice sounded neutral for a moment.

"Jason, where the he-"

"JUlie! I ve missed you sooooo much!" he shouted over the phone.

"Oh God," I said face palming myself "Of course, you re drunk, too," I mumbled.

"I m so sorry for what happened! You are my best friend in the world, Jules!"

"Shut up! Where are you?"

"We are... hum... we are at..." he hesitated, "Banana s party,"

"Banana? You mean, Amanda?"

"Yeah, her, she s so cool,"

"How-Ah, never mind, is there a sober person there?"

"What?"

"Is there a sober per-" the line went dead. Groaning in frustration, I dialed hi
s number again but only to hear his voicemail. I called Laura but she didn t pic
k up her phone.

"Arg!" What the hell were they thinking? They were never the party-like type of
people. Why were they drunk and who were on Earth was Amanda? Why didn t Laura t
ell me anything about a party? I could understand why Jason didn t, I mean, he d
idn t even speak to me. But Laura? That girl told me everything she did. They we
re my best friends.

They were drunk somewhere out there. I needed to do something. What could I do?

Shane...

Yeah, if there was a party somewhere he was obviously there. He wasn t the schoo
l s golden boy for nothing. Reluctantly, I dialed his number. It rang a few time
s before he answered.

"Wow, two calls in a day," his smug voice made me roll my eyes "You really want
me, Jones,"

"Get over yourself, where are you?"

"Why should I answer your question at..." he seemed to be looking at his watch "
1:30 am,"

"Are you at Amanda s party?"

"How do you know?" See? I was really smart.

"I need you to do something for me,"

"Whoa, whoa, slow down, we re not friends,"

"Shane, this is a life and death situation,"

"I don t believe you,"

"Fine, it s not but please-"

"I need a motivation," I sighed in frustration.

"I will speak to Merissa or whatever her name is," I offered. That was the hot g
irl he liked in his math s class.

"You already promised that, and her name is Melissa,"

"Fine, I will make her fall for you in a week,"

"You give me your word?"

"Yeah,"

"Alright, what do you want this time?"

"I need you to look for Jason and Laura and bring them here,"

"Why?"

"Just do it,"

"Fine but I don t know who s Laura,"

"Jesus, Shane she s been your neighbor your entire life,"

"Really?"

"Yes, now go and find them. Do not take them to their houses. Bring them here. T
heir mothers will snap if they see them drunk,"

"Wait, they re drunk?"

"Move!"

"Fine!" he hung up rudely.

**

I was pacing around my living room like a caged lion. It d been forty five minut
es since I spoke to Shane. What was taking him so long? I heard an engine and I

ran out of the house. The cold night air hit my bare skin. I was wearing a night
gown, before you think I looked sexy, believe me I didn t. Shane parked and jum
ped out of the car. He was wearing dark jeans, a loose t-shirt and a black jacke
t. I could see the annoyance plastered on his face.
"Julie!" Jason shouted getting off the back seat. He stumbled towards me. He was
a mess "Julie!" he pulled me into a tight hug. The smell of liquor enveloped me
.

"Where is Laura?" I mouthed to Shane over Jason s shoulder. Shane shrugged. I fr

owned and took Jason inside the house. I threw him on the couch and it surprised
me how quickly he fell asleep. I turned to Shane angrily.

"Where is she?" I folded my arms across my chest.

"She s with Jordan," Shane said shrugging.

"What?!"

"Yeah, he offered her a ride home,"

"Are you out of your mind? She was drunk!"

"Hey, Jordan is not a bad guy. He is going to take care of her,"

"That s bullsh*t! Oh God," I held my forehead dramatically.

"She s going to be alright, stop the drama,"

"Drama?" I asked moving my hands exasperated "She s in danger,"

"Jordan will take care of her, I promise," Shane said seriously. I sighed in def
eat. Shane approached to me slowly. I had to tilt my head back to look at his fa
ce.

"What?" he smiled down at me and cupped my cheek. I shivered at the contact. His

hazel eyes were looking right into my blue ones.

"You look like an angry kitten," he twisted a smile amused. I narrowed my eyes a
t him.

"What s that supposed to mean?" his thumb caressed my cheek softly. What was he
doing?

"Nothing," he retreated his hand back and scratched the back of his head "I gott
a go,"

"Shane..." he gave his back to me and left slamming the front door closed behind
him. What was all that about?

I went upstairs, leaving a snoring Jason on my couch. I landed on my bed for the
second time that night. I checked my phone and smiled like a fool when I saw a
message from Evan. He was already logged off but his goodnight message still bro
ught a smile to my lips.

"Goodnight, sweet Jules. You are too cute for your own good ;)"

With those sweet words prowling inside my head, I fell asleep.

Now!

My Wattpad Love

Chapter 14

My bed had to be the most comfortable thing on Earth. It was soft like a cloud.
I was waking up slowly feeling extremely rested. I was lying on my side when I f
elt something warm on my back. There was also something hard poking my ass. The
warm thing moved and there was suddenly something heavy on my waist. Opening my
eyes, I looked down at my waist and gasped. There was an arm wrapped there.

"What the..." I mumbled with a sleepy voice. I rolled over to look behind me. My
eyes met the peaceful sleeping face of Jason. I frowned in confusion. What the
hell was he doing here? His chest was naked. My frown grew bigger and I looked d
own past his abdomen. I screamed loudly backing away from him. Jason s eyes snap
ped opened, before he could say anything I fell off the bed with a thud. It was
a good thing the house had a carpeted floor otherwise that could have been reall
y painful.

"Jules?" Jason seemed to be searching for me. I jumped on my feet, my face was a
s red as it could get. Jason was sitting on the bed now, my sheets covering down
his waist.

"You! You... You re naked!" I shouted shocked.

"Stop screaming!" he grimaced in pain, "my head is going to explode,"

"You re naked!" I repeated aiming my finger at him.

"I m not naked, I m..." Jason looked under the sheets and his eyes widened "Ok,
Im naked," he acknowledged and looked up at me.

"What the hell, Jason! Why are you naked?"

"I don t know," he rubbed his temples, "it s hard to think when my head is throb
bing like this,"

"And you were lying next to me... and that thing poked me! Oh my God! It poked m
e!" I scrunched my nose in disgust "I feel so violated,"

"Jules, you re overreacting,"

"Am I? I woke up to find my very excited best friend laying naked next to me. Ex
cuse me, if I m a little freak out here,"

"I m sorry, I guess, I was cold last night and decided to come up and sleep with
you," I held my forehead pacing around my room. Jason and I had slept together
before. But really slept, we didn t have sex or anything like that. He was like
my brother. Sometimes when Mom was on duty and he came over, he stayed all night
long. But of course, nothing weird like this had ever happened to us. Jason got
out of my bed covering his thing with my pillow.

Oh my poor pillow!

"I get that you were cold last night whilst sleeping on the couch," I paused and
glanced at him. Jason was smiling apologetically "but I don t get why you re na
ked,"

"Well, apparently, I enjoy stripping when I m drunk," he scratched the back of h

is head with his free hand.

"Really, Jason? Really?"

"Jules..."

"That thing poked me! Why was it even...up?" I asked awkwardly,

"It s the morning cramp; it has nothing to do with you,"

"You promise?"

"Yeah,"

"I can t believe this," I shook my head.

"Oh come on, it wasn t like I did this on purpose," he explained seriously. I le
t out a sight of frustration "besides, it s not like you haven t seen me naked b
efore," he tried to make a joke... I glared at him feeling my heated cheeks. Jas
on s smile vanished "too soon?" I nodded.

"Just put some clothes on," I waved him off. Jason walked out of the room. I gue
ss, his clothes were all over the couch.
Wow, that was awkward.
My life was getting a little bit crazy. Not to mention, now I had my best friend
s little buddy portrayed inside my head. The image was so clear in my mind; I s
wear I could draw the damn thing if I wanted to. Even though, this was not the f
irst time I d seen naked, it was the first time I d seen him....well... aroused.
Let me tell you, that thing is huge. It kind of freaked me out a little bit bac
k there.
It poked me!

I shuddered remembering that. I went to my bathroom and did my morning routine.

I came back to my room to look for my sandals.
"Take me by the tongue and I ll know you. Kiss me till you re drunk and I ll sho
w you," my phone started singing loudly. That was Laura s ringtone. Yeah, she li
ked Maroon 5. I wasn t a big fan but hey that song was catchy "You want the move
s like jagger, I ve got the moves like jagger,I ve got the mooooooves... like ja
gger"
Laura...
Instantly, I remembered she was drunk last night and Shane didn t bring her over
. She was with Jordan. I run-and-jump ninja style to my bed and pressed the gree
n button.

"Hello?" I was out of breath.

"Jules?! Thanks God! Jules, I m in trouble," she spoke fast. She usually did tha
t when she was freaking out.
"Lau, what-"
"I woke up in Jordan s bed... I m..." she trailed off, I could tell she was biti
ng her nails "I can t remember a thing about last night. But I m only wearing hi
s shirt,"
"Oh no,"
"I m freaking out. I may not be a virgin anymore,"
"Calm down, Lau, where is he?"
"He s in the shower, I need to get out of here before he comes out but how am I
supposed to leave wearing his shirt?"
"Well, your house isn t that far from his house, is it?" I asked remembered they
all actually lived in the same street: Shane, Jordan, Jason and Laura. I was th
e only one who lived in the isolated part of the town. Yay, lucky me. Oh sarcasm
!
"No, Jules but it s not like I can go home walking half-dressed like this. Oh Go
d, Mom will kill me,"

"Go to Shane s house," I said surprising us both.

"What? No, I don t even know him that much,"
"But I kind of do. Just go there, I ll call him,"
"I can t, I d die of embarrassment,"
"Oh well, then stay there and face Jordan. I hope you re ready when he starts ma
king comments about last night from which you can t remember a thing by the way,
"
"Call him, I m running there,"
"Ok," I hung up and dialed Shane s number. It rang a few times before I finally
hear someone at the other side of the line.

"Hello," a female sleepy voice greeted me. I frowned and looked at my Iphone s s
creen. Yeah, I definitely dialed the right number.

"Hi, is Shane there?"

"Yes, he s sleeping," she said softly "who is this?"

"I really need to talk to him,"
"Who are you?" Her voice became cold. She was probably one of his night stands.
"I m his friend," I lied. Shane and I weren t exactly friends.
"What friend?"
"Listen, just put him on the phone. It s urgent," she hesitated but then I heard
noises and a masculine grunt.
"What?" Shane s asked annoyed.
"I need another favor,"
"You seriously think we re friends,"
"Laura is coming over your house, help her out,"
"Why would I-who the hell is Laura?"
"Oh God," I felt like slapping him right now "you have the memory of a dead fish
,"
"I only remember important things," he retorted rudely.

"Whatever, just open the door for her and help her out,"
"Why would I do that? I m sleeping,"
"Please," I put my pride aside and begged "please," I heard him growl in frustra
tion.
"I cursed the day you got my phone number. Fine," he hung up. I smiled in relie
f but instantly grew worried. What if Laura lost her virginity last night? i kne
w it would devastate her if it did happened. She always dreamt about her first t
ime being special with someone she loved. We were very alike in the sex terms. W
e both were waiting for our charming princes to arrive and all that stuff. She w
ould be so depressed if Jordan and her had sex last night. She didn t even remem
ber a thing for God sakes. I bet no one wants to be drunk on their first time. I
looked down at my phone and smiled again when I noticed I had a message from Ev
an.

Evan: Good morning, sunshine ;)

The dragons in my stomach fluttered around and I couldn t help blushing a little
.

Me: Hey, you seem to be a in good mood today.

Him: Yes, I had a great dream last night.

Me: Really? What was it about?

Him: I ll tell you later.

I bit my lower lip in curiosity.

Me: Why not now?

Him: I have something to do, talk to you later, Mrs. Strawberry.

I rolled my eyes and typed

Ok

"Jules!" Jason shouted my name from downstairs.

"What?" I shouted back.

"Breakfast is ready!" he informed.

"Oh no," I ran out of the room and then downstairs. Jason sucked at cooking so I
was scared as hell of what he may have tried to prepared. I entered the kitchen
. Jason was sitting on the counter; his mouth full of... pancakes? I grimaced in
disgust at his full opened mouth.

"You made pancakes?" he nodded as he swallowed what he was chewing.

"Theyre pretty good," I looked at the plate in front of me. Pancakes are supposed
to rounded, right? Well, Jason absolutely forgot about that detail. Their form
was inexplicable "Just try it, they re good. I promise," he encouraged me to tas
te it. I shook my head, "come on, Jules,"

"Just a bite," I was about to take a bite when...

"Sweetie, I m home," my mother s voice echoed through the living room.

"I m in the kitchen!" I shouted whilst Jason got off the counter.

"Hey," Mom greeted us stepping inside the kitchen. She looked tired, there were
bags her blue eyes. Her reddish hair was in a messy bun. She smiled when she saw
me and kissed my forehead "How are you?" she caressed my face gently.

"I m good, how was your night?" I asked watching her put some bags on the counte
r. She gave Jason a closed mouth smile.

"Agitated, Saturday s night are always agitated at the hospital," she replied sa
dly. I knew her job was not easy. I admired her, I really did. I mean, how could
n t I? She saved lives every day. I was proud of her. She was a good doctor. I s
queezed her shoulder.

"I know, you should rest. I will take care of this," I said referring to the bag
s. My mother gave me a grateful smile.

"Alright, I brought you breakfast," she pointed one of the bags.

"Thanks God," I muttered. I didn t have to eat Jason s formless pancakes.

"I heard that," Jason glared at me. Mom left us to go upstairs. I really hoped s
he could have a good sleep.

When we were done eating, Jason proceeded to do the dishes. I was sitting next t
o the counter as I stared at his profile. His brown hair was all messy, pointing
all directions. In that moment, I realized Jason was good-looking in a cute kin
d of way. He was that type of sweet guy that gets girls with enchanting words an
d cute smiles. He rolled his lower lip into his mouth as he kept on his chore. H
e had nice lips, his lower lip was fuller than his upper one but they looked goo
d. His body was not slightly muscled like Shane s. Jason was thin but defined.

What the hell, Jules!

Did I just check out my best friend? That was so inappropriate of me. God, seein
g him naked was really affecting me. That thought brought unwanted images of his
thing to my mind. Oh God, I couldn t help blushing.

"Why are you blushing?" I jumped to his voice. Jason was now in front of me, dry
ing his hands with a kitchen s rag. I looked up to meet his green eyes, he was s
taring down at me, confusion plastered on his face.

"I...hum, I m not blushing," I looked away and stood up. I could feel his eyes o
n me as I stumbled towards the kitchen s doorway "I m going back to my room," I
said cowardly as I left him there confused.

* *
The day rushed by uneventful. Laura had called when she finally got to her house
. Apparently, Shane had helped her giving her some clothes from his little siste
r. Laura had told her mother she spent the night in my house. However, her mothe
r still grounded her for not notifying her in advance.
Jason left as soon as he was done in the kitchen. I was grateful for it. I reall
y needed him away from a while. This entire seeing-him-naked thing was messing u
p my mind. I was lazily lying on my couch. It was twilight. The house phone rang
and I answered before the sound could wake up my mother. She seriously needed t
o rest.

"Hello?"

"Hello, peachy girl," my breath was caught inside my lungs. My heart started pou
nding desperately behind my thin ribs.

Act casual, Jules.

"He-hey," Did I just stutter?

Way to act casual, Jules.

"You sound surprised," he teased with that sexy voice of his, sending shivers th
rough my entire body.

"Yeah, I wasn t expecting your call," I admitted clearing my throat. He chuckled

.

"I m bored,"

"You re bored?" I cocked an eyebrow but then felt stupid because he couldn t see
"So that s why you re calling me,"

"Yeah," I swear I could see him smirking at the other side of the line. I couldn
t help visualizing the cute dimples that formed on his cheeks when he smiled "w
hat were you doing?"

"Just talking to Laura," I said frankly. Evan knew she was my best friend. I d t
old him everything about her and Jason. Yeah, I wasn t really reserved when it c
ame to him. I just felt like I could trust him, crazy huh?

"I read the new chapter for your story," he commented all of the sudden. I froze
.

"Why? I thought you hated that story, you said it was too cheesy," I reminded hi
m as I remembered his mean comment on my story.

"I was curious. It s incredible the things I can learn about you by reading it,"

"What do you mean?" I frowned.

"Nothing," he whispered and a shiver went down my spine. I really needed to rein
force my self-control around Evan. If his voice was doing this to me, I couldn t
even imagine what would happen to me if I see him face to face. This thought re
minded me of the fact he didn t want to tell me where he lived.

"Evan..."

"Don t," his voice grew cold. Did he know what I was going to ask?

"Why can t you just tell me?"

"It doesn t matter,"

"It matters to me,"

"Why?" he inquired and I swallowed.

"Because you re my friend," I slurred the last word. Why did I always do that?

Because you like him, silly. You don t want to be his friend.

My inner voice replied to me.

"We are miles away, Jules," my stomach fluttered when I heard him say my name.

"You already said that, I just want to know where you live," I insisted. Evan si
ghed in frustration.

"It s better if you don t know," he said seriously.

"Why?"

"Jules, drop it,"

"I can t,"

"Yes, you can and you will," he sounded upset.

"Evan, please," I pleaded.

"Why can t you just drop it?"

"I..." I trailed off not knowing what to answer.

"This is wrong," Evan whispered softly.

"What is wrong?"

"This,"

"What are you talking about?"

"Jules, I m not good. You shouldn t be this eager to know more about me,"

"I just want to know where you live, that s all,"

"I know why you want to know," he assured "that s why I m not telling you,"

"Evan, you re confusing me,"

"I know," I caught a trace of sadness on his tone "I gotta go,"

"Evan, don t,"

"Im sorry," he whispered before hanging up.

I placed the phone back on the table and ran my fingers through my hair. What th
e hell was that? why did I want to know so bad where he lived? I knew the answer
to that question, I knew it. I was just in denial. But there was no point in fo
oling myself anymore.
I really liked Evan. A lot. It was something more than an internet crush; I was
seriously starting to like the guy for real. Thats why I wanted to know where he
lived because deep down, I hoped I could meet him wherever he was. I wanted to m
eet him so bad that it actually scared me. This like for him was growing and gro
wing and I was worried and scared. I d never liked a guy this much in my entire
life. I was scared of getting hurt, scared of him not liking me back. I mean, I
didn t even know if when he said he liked me he meant it as more than a friend.
God, I didn t even know where he lived. What if he lived in another country? Wat
tpad had members from everywhere. I let myself fall backwards on my couch and st
ared at the ceiling. It was going to be a long week according to my list of thin
gs-to-do:

1.- Find out where Evan lives.

2.- Investigate if Laura is still a virgin or not.
3.- Try not to see Jason naked again.
4.- Help Shane with Marissa or Merissa whatever her name was.
and the most important one:

5.- Find out what the hell is wrong with me. Why am I developing such strong fee
lings towards a guy I hadn t seen personally?

Yeah, it was going to be a long week.

Chapter 15

I was sitting on a bench at 3:06 am in the middle of the town s square. Shane wa
s sitting next to me in silence. I was shivering from the cold; my hair was stic
ky and starchy. My clothes were damp. Vodka, strawberry juice and other unknown
substances were enveloping my upper body. Shane wasn t looking very good either.
A dark bruise was forming on his cheekbone; it was probably going to become a b
lack eye very soon. His lower lip was swollen and had a small cut. His shirt was
ripped off at some parts.

I know what you re wondering...

How the hell did we end up like this?

What happened?

Alright, I will enlighten you.

12 Hours ago...

"I m so embarrassed," Laura said whilst chewing some French fries. It was lunch
time "I mean, I can t remember a damn thing. There s this huge blank in my mind
when I tried to remember that night," I gave her a sympathetic smile. It was Fri
day already, the week had rushed by uneventful. I d talked to Evan everyday but
he seemed so distant since last Sunday when I asked about where he lived.

"Well, that s the power of alcohol, Lau. It can erase your memory," I said givin
g my hamburger a bite.

"I m not a drinker, you know that," she fork-pinched a slice of tomato from her
salad "I just wanted to have fun that night and-"
"Drink a little but everything went down the drainage after the first drink," I
finished for her. I heard the same statement many times this week. That was all
she could talk about, I couldn t blame her though. I knew I would be doing the s
ame-if not worse- if I was in her position. I knew she had to talk to Jordan soo
ner or later. It wasn t like she could avoid him forever, I mean, we attended to
the same school and he lived down her street. But I could understand her fear.
She was scared of what he could tell her, scared of confirming she d lost someth
ing as special as her virginity in a drunken night.
"Have he tried talking to you?" I asked and took a huge bite from my hamburger a
nd got some French fries in my mouth until it was so filled my cheeks were infla
ted. It tasted so good, I moaned softly. Laura stared at me like I d grown a thi
rd eye. I gave him a what look.
"I honestly don t know how you re so skinny. I mean, you eat like a pig," I narr

owed my eyes at her whilst chewing my food "and to answer your question, if he s
tried to talk to me I haven t noticed because I ve been too busy avoiding him,"
I swallowed my food and opened my mouth to say something.
"Julie!" A pitchy familiar female voice screamed from behind me. I lost my appet
ite and rolled my eyes. It was a good thing, she couldn t see my face. Reluctant
ly, I turned half of my body to look behind. There she came...
My torture...
The definition of hell on earth for me
Melissa. Shane s ultimately crush.
Remember my task list? Yeah, I had to make this girl fall for Shane within a wee
k. I owed Shane big time since he d saved me and Laura. However, I wasn t really
succeeding; each time I mentioned Shane to her she would change the subject. It
was like she didn t want to talk about him and I couldn t blame her. I forced a
smile as she sat next to me placing her tray beside mine.
"Hey, I ve been looking for you all day," she said smiling sweetly at me. Meliss
a was a sweet girl but she was taking this friendship too seriously. Don t get m
e wrong, it wasn t that I didn t like her. I just felt terrible for befriending
her for such evil purposes like getting her in Shane s bed. I felt utterly disgu
sted with myself. Melissa seemed to be a nice girl. She didn t deserve to be use
d by someone like Jerkpid.
"Yeah, I was starving so I practically ran over here," I lied giving her a close
d mouth smile. Laura shook her head disapprovingly.
We ate our food in silence. Melissa made a few comments about the paper work she
did for Math and bragged about the A she got. I chuckled remembering Shane had
failed that one because of me. His face was priceless. Oh Good times...

"Julie?" a hand was waved in front of my face. I snapped out of my flashback mo

ment to find a frowning Laura. Melissa was gone.

"Huh?"

"Are you going to eat that? Lunch time is almost over," I looked down at my tray
. Half of my hamburger and French fries were still there. When had I stopped eat
ing? I finished my food quickly "I ll see you in class" Lau waved her hand at me
as she walked away,. We were heading out of the cafeteria, my stomach was full.
I felt really good. However, my good mood went down the drainage when I saw who
was coming towards our way.

Shane Mason...

The school s popular player... or how I d like to call him...

The Antichips.
That was my original version of the Antichrist since I thought of chips as a gif
t from God. Shane was wearing a tight dark t-shirt making his defined arms and c
hest visible, his hair was messy and his eyes held a glint of smugness as he pas
sed by girls and they almost drooled over him.
Oh God...
I have to hide!

Without thinking properly, I got inside the nearest

"Jones," Shane greeted stepping inside and closing the door behind him. A lopsid
ed smirk formed on his lips "Are you hiding from me?"

"Me?" I exclaimed exaggeratedly "No, of course not," I shook my head repeatedly.

Shane narrowed his eyes at me.
"Yes, you are," he took a step closer. I backed away scared "Why?"
"I wasn t... I didn t..."
"How is Melissa?" he asked staring at me suspiciously.
"All good, the plan is going great," I shouted with fake a enthusiasm. Shane got
closer to me until my back was pressed against the wall. I swallowed.
"Really? That s weird because I just asked her out and she turned me down," he e
xplained "so, your plan is not going so great, is it?" he placed a hand on the w
all at the side of my face. His hazel eyes were boring into mine.
"I tried, I really tried but she s-" Shane put his index finger over my mouth si
lencing me. I shivered at the contact.
"You haven t tried hard enough," he retreated his hand and his gaze dropped to m
y lips. The tension in the room made my heart beat faster "If you fail, you ll b

e my slave for a night," I opened my mouth to protest "no buts, you owe me, Jone
s,"

"I m not gonna have sex with you," I stated firmly. Shane chuckled.
"Why is it that you always think that? I don t like you, Jones so I wouldn t hav
e sex with you even if you were the last girl in the world," His words stung. My
hidden ego was wounded. I knew I should feel good about the fact that he didn t
want me like that but it still hurt like hell. Shane managed to make me feel so
ugly with just a phrase. Tears sprung to my eyes but I held them back and lifte
d my chin proudly.

"I wouldn t have sex with you even if... even if..." I trailed off not knowing w
hat to say. Shane laughed and stared at me amused.

"Even if?" he cocked an eyebrow and leaned closer to me "That s bullshit, Jones.
If I want to, you would be mine a in blink of an eye,"

"Never," I said in a puff.

"You wanna bet?"

"No," I replied seriously. I d read too many stories about bets on wattpad. The
girl always ended up losing, she either got her heart broken or she would live h
appily ever after with the guy. With my luck, I knew It would be
the first option for me. Happy endings were not my thing. Shane s smirk grew big
ger.
"You re afraid you ll lose, Jones?" He teased.
"No, I ju-"
"Then why are you refusing?" He leaned closer until we were so close our breaths
were mixing. I pushed him away from me but he didn t move a muscle "Aww, little
Jones is afraid she ll lose, isn t she?"
"Back off," I pushed on his chest again.
"Say yes,"
"No, Shane," I tried to step aside but he placed his hand on my hip keeping me s
till.
"Why not?" He insisted burying his face in my neck. I shivered as his nose made
contact with my skin. My breath quickened.

"Shane, stop!" I pushed his chest harder and this time he moved slightly backwar
ds.
"Coward," he teased as I approached to the door "wait," he grabbed my arm and sp
un me around to face him.
"What?"
"There s a party tonight in Jordan s house," I folded my arms across my chest.
"So?"
"You have to take Melissa there. I will take care of the rest,"
"What? No, I can t do that,"
"Then I hope you enjoy being my slave for one night," I let my arms fall to my s
ides in defeat.
"Fine,"
"You can also take Laura with you,"
"I don t think so," I stated remembering Laura was avoiding Jordan. She wouldn t
go to his house even if I dragged her there.
"Why not?" Shane scowled at me "I thought they were-"
"Don t say anything!" I interrupted "I don t want to know,"
"What are you talking about?" I ignored him and got out of that janitor s closet
.
The afternoon rushed by pretty quickly. I didn t pay too much attention to my bi
ology class since I was chatting with Evan.
Him: So you gave up on being cupid?
He knew everything about Melissa and Shane.
Me: Not yet, but I really suck at this stuff. Melissa doesn t even want to talk
about him.
Him: haha Mrs. Strawberry sucks at love stuff, how ironic!
Me: What do you mean?
Him: You re all love and sweetness. You write cheesy stories but you can t even
get two people together.
Me: Oh shut up!
Him: ;) touched a nerve, peachy girl?
Me: Again with the nicknames?
Him: Yeah.
Me: What are you doing?

I asked trying to get to know more about him. Maybe get him to spit out where he
lived by accident or something. Yeah, that was unlikely to happen but a girl ca
n dream, right?
Him: I m writing.
Me: really? What are you writing?
Him: A poem.
Me: About what?
Him: it s a sad poem :)
Me: Hmm, those are your favorites?
Him: I guess so.
Me: Can you show it to me?
Him: No.
Me: Come on, if you re going to post it on wattpad I will read it anyway.
Him: I m not going to post it.
I frowned.
Me: Why not?
Him: It s a personal poem. Nobody will read it.
Me: wow, so much mystery. Now, I m curious. At least tell me what is it about?
Him: You.
My heart skipped a beat and my breath was caught inside my lungs.
Me: me?
Him: Yes.
Me: You wrote a poem about me?
My heart was racing inside my chest. The dragons in my stomach were fluttering d
esperately. I bit my lower lip waiting for his answer.
Him: Yes.
Me: why?
Him: Because.
His vague answers would always get on my nerves. I was about to type a reply whe
n the bell rang. Groaning, I told him I was heading to gymnastics and shoved my
phone inside my pocket.

**
After getting home from school, having dinner and getting ready. Melissa picked
me up to get to the famous party.
This is not going to end good
I thought as I stood in front of Jordan s door. The music blasting inside was an
nouncing a good party. Melissa was standing next to me. She looked beautiful wit
h her tight flowered dress and cute sandals. I was suddenly self-conscious. I wa
s wearing my usual baggy jeans and loose t-shirt. My hair was on a messy bun. I
wasn t a fan of parties. I only came to bring Melissa otherwise there was no way
I was going to come.
The door opened slowly showing a grinning Jordan. He was at least two heads tall
er than me. He looked really handsome with his disheveled bad boy look. He remin
ded so much of Shane. His brown eyes looked between Melissa and me.
"Hello there," he grinned at Melissa and she instantly blushed. Bastard! I glare
d at him folding my arms across my chest "How come I ve never seen you before, b
eautiful," he started getting closer to my blonde friend. I stepped between them
.
"Probably because of the big sign that says Player hanging over your face. It
blocks your vision, doesn t it?" I said giving him a fake closed mouth smile. Jo
rdan narrowed his eyes at me.
"And who are you?" His flirty voice turned into a cold one.
"She s my friend," Melissa intervened wrapping an arm around my shoulder "now, c
an we get in? It s cold out here," Jordan hesitated but then stepped aside.
"Welcome to my palace," he said with enthusiasm. I watched in disgust how he sta
red at Melissa s ass as she walked inside.
Men were all the same. Shaking my head disapprovingly, I followed her.
I find it quite funny and unbelievable how a party can change in a short period
of time. At the beginning, everything was kind of calmed. People were talking an
d gathering in groups while drinking.
Two hours later?
The place was a mess. There were girls dancing on the tables, boys trying to tou
ch them. Couples were making out in dark corners. People kept going upstairs to
do God knows what.
And me?
I was being squeezed by a bunch of people I didn t even know. I was trying to ge
t through them but Jesus, it was becoming impossible. I really wanted to go home
but Melissa was nowhere to be found. I d let her with Shane like half and hour
ago but I had no idea where they went. So now I was alone and stuck here surroun
ded by drunken people. I couldn t go home since Melissa was my ride. I would wal
k to Lau s house since it wasn t that far but I really didn t want Laura to find
out about this. I mean, the entire Jordan s subject was still really touchy for
her.
I was rudely pushed out of the mass of people and I felt like I could breathe ag
ain. For a moment, I sensed eyes on me. I scanned around the alcohol intoxicated

people but found nothing.

That was weird. My eyes landed on the stairs and I watched Shane coming down. Hi
s shirt was all messy as was his hair. An arrogant smirk was formed on his lips.
He looked...
Pleased? As if he had won something... As if...
Oh no...
Jordan met Shane at the end of the stairs and high five him. And then everything
happened in slow motion...
Melissa was coming down stairs fixing her dress when Jordan took some money out
of his pocket and handed it to Shane. Uh-oh... Melissa s eyes widened. Hurt and
anger crossed her face as she got between them.
"Shane, what the hell is going on?" She inquired glancing at the money on his ha
nd. Shane was out of words. He wasn t expecting this, I could tell.
"He won a bet, that s all, babe," Jordan explained carelessly.
"A bet? What was the bet about?" She asked angrily. I felt like I was in a live
soap opera. The pop corns were the only thing missing.
"You," Jordan stated shrugging his shoulders. Shane glared at his friend.
"Me?"
"Yeah, we bet on how long it would take him to have sex with you," alright, I mu
st admit I didn t see that one coming. My jaw dropped to the floor in disbelief.
How could they do that?
Melissa s eyes were crystallized with tears. Immediately, I walked to them and s
lapped Jordan right across his face. He was dumfounded, he cupped his cheek and
stared at me in shock. I turned to Shane who looked oddly guilty.
"Jones, I-" I slapped him as well

"You are the most disgusting guy I ve ever met!" I punched his chest over and ov
er again "you heartless pig! You monster! I hope you die on your sleep! I hope y
ou get swallowed alive by a toothless Anaconda!" I screamed on his face. Shane d
idn t even try to stop me. He let me punch him "I can t believe I was part of th
is! That I helped you!"
"What the hell are you talking about, Julie?" Melissa s voice asked from behind.
Before I could say something Jordan opened his big mouth.
"She helped him get to you. It was all a plan," he said shoving his hands inside
his pockets. I turned around to face her.
I watched how Melissa s face fell and in that exact second I felt like the worst
piece of excrement on Earth. I felt horrible.
"Melissa, I-"
"Is that true?" Two tears escaped her eyes and my heart sunk in my chest "so thi

s was all a lie? You never wanted to be my friend. It was all part of a stupid b
et," her voice broke "I thought you were different, I thought..." She grasped a
plastic glass from the nearby table and poured it down on me. The cold liquid ra
n down my hair into my face. Ok, I deserved that. She took off ignoring me the e
ntire way I tried to follow her until Shane grabbed my arm stopping me.
"Let her go," he said pulling me deeper inside the house. I slapped his hand.
"Don t touch me!" Shane rubbed his temples and looked at me. I could see honest
guilt on his face but that still didn t calm the anger within me.
"Stop looking at me like that," he said leaning against the kitchen counter.
"Like what?"
"Like you want to murder me,"
"Maybe because I want to murder you! How could you do that?"

"Why are you making such a big deal of this? What were you expecting?" he said a
nnoyed.

"I thought you truly liked her! That s why I helped you,"

"You seem to forget I m a player, Jones," I glared at him "this is what I do, I
like a girl, I screw her and then move on to the next one," I shook my head disa
ppointed.

"You re unbelievable, you disgust me," I turned on my feet and was ready to leav
e that place. I smelled like strawberry and vodka. Shane grabbed my arm turning
me to him.

"Why are you so surprised?" his hazel eyes looked into my blue ones.

"Because..." I trailed off remembering my mother s words.

I promised he s a nice boy behind that arrogant facade, sweetie.

Mom was definitely blind. There was no goodness behind that arrogant face.

"What?" Shane pressed waiting for my answer. I lifted up my chin determined and
slapped his hand.

"Because I thought you were better than this," his eyes widened "I thought there
was something good behind that arrogant attitude, but I was wrong,"

I walked out of the kitchen, feeling awful. I was crossing the mass of people wh
en someone pulled at my arm. I was dragged to a dark corner. My back crashed int
o the wall and I came to face a ginger boy. His eyes were red and he smelled of
alcohol.

"Why so lonely, babe?" he purred cupping my cheek. I smacked his hand.

"Back off," I exclaimed pushing him away. He stumbled backwards chuckling.

"I like your eyes," he approached to me, pressing his body against mine. I grima
ced in disgust.

"Get off me," he ignored me and pinned my hands above my head against the wall.
I struggled but he simply slide his hand under my t-shirt "Stop! Help!" I scream
ed but the blasting music seemed to mute my screams for help "Stop!" I shivered
in disgust when his tongue licked my neck lustfully. Suddenly, the boy was yanke
d away from me.

"Get your hands off her," Shane pushed the boy angrily. I d never seen him angry
before and believe me, he looked scary. And then, it started.

An epic fight...

Shane was beating up the guy whilst other people wanted to help ginger boy. It a
ll turned into a big mess. Everyone was fighting, girls were screaming. There we
re chairs flying around. I couldn t even distinguish Shane in the crowd anymore.

The sound of broken glass echoed everywhere. I guess they found another use for
the alcohol bottles.

I found my way out of the house and breathed in relief when I stepped on the fro
nt yard. I couldn t help being worried about Shane. Even though, he acted like a
jerk tonight, he actually saved me from that ginger boy. It started to drizzle.
I looked up at the sky.
"Really?" I asked to no one in particular. The cold night breeze made me shiver.
This was definitely not my night.

"Jones!" Shane s shout came from behind. I frowned when I watched him running to
wards me "Run!"

"What? Why?" I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and then I saw a bunch of guys
chasing after him. Shane passed by my side and held my hand, pulling him behind
him. We were soon running down the street like crazy people. Drops of rain were
hitting my face and the cold was becoming unbearable.

Now...

That was how we ended up here. Shane was beaten up and my upper body was damp. I
t was a good thing my phone was inside my jean s pocket. It didn t get wet. I re
ally sucked at fulfilling my objectives. Remember my task list? Well, I still di
dn t know where Evan live, or if Laura was still a virgin or not. Conclusion: I
sucked at tasks lists.

I glanced at Shane and he was looking at the street absentmindedly.

"I think we should go," I said breaking the silence. Shane was too quiet, which
was weird.

"Yeah," he replied coldly. He got on his feet and I imitated him. My phone buzze
d in my pocket, I got it out and checked the message. It was a mail from Wattpad
.

"DarkPoet001 sent you a message"

I smiled like a fool and proceed to open the message.

"You look cute tonight"

I stopped on my tracks. My heart was already hammering inside my chest, menacing

to jump out of my throat. I stopped breathing. How did he...

With shaking hands, I started typing a reply.

Me: How do you know?

Him: Because I saw you ;)

My Wattpad Love

Chapter 16

To say I was in shock was an understatement.

I was bewildered. I was frozen. I was not moving or breathing. My eyes were glue
d to my phone s screen.

He saw me.

Evan saw me.

He just said he saw me.

Those phrases kept playing inside my head over and over again. Not to mention...
the questions:

How?

When?

Where?

Was he being serious or was it all a joke?

Was he at the party?

"We re miles away, Jules" his words echoed through my head. I didn t need to be
bright to know Evan was lying, whether he was lying about the fact of us being m
iles away or the fact that he d saw me I didn t know but I was going to find out
.

Me: What do you mean you saw me?

I sent the message. My heart was menacing to jump out of my chest as I waited.

Him: ;)

Really? That was all he would say? A freaking winking face? I was almost dying o
f an heart attack here and he just sent me a winky face. Evan could be a jerk so
metimes.

Me: Evan, what the hell..? What do you mean you saw me?

Him: Because I did.

Me: What? How? When?

Him: How? With my eyes, when? Tonight ;)

Me: You were at the party?

Him: Maybe.

Me: Maybe? Evan you re confusing me.

I sent that message with shaky fingers. It was then I realized I wasn t feeling
so well. My stomach felt funny and it wasn t a nice sensation, believe me. The n
ext thing that happened was the last thing I was expecting. Hell, I wasn t expec
ting it at all. I didn t know if it was because I had skipped dinner that night,
or because I drank a cup of beer or because all the emotions I d been through i
n the last couple hours.

My sight became blurred and my hands cold and sweaty. I felt sick but then my kn
ees gave up as my eyes rolled to the back of my head.

I, Julie Ann Jones, passed out in the middle of my town s square.

***

"She s dead,"

"No, she s not," I was being dragged out of unconsciousness slowly. I could hear
two male voices around me, they sounded worried.

"How much alcohol did you give her?"

"What? I didn t-"

"Oh come on, Shane, look at her," I could feel eyes on me for a moment which mad
e me feel kind of awkward "she s totally wasted,"

"No, she didn t drink,"

"Are you sure?"

"Hum, no?"

What happened...

I wondered inside my head. I was lying on my back on a very soft surface: a bed.
Something poked my cheek.

"I think she s dead, man," it was then I recognized that voice: Jordan s voice.

"She s not dead, she s breathing, you idiot," Shane sounded closer to me this ti
me. The bed dipped in a spot next to me and I knew Shane was sitting there. Open
ing my eyes slowly, I met the worried face of Shane. It was the first time I d s
een him looking so vulnerable. I opened my mouth to say something but then a sha
rp pain at the back of my head made me moan in pain.

"Ow," I exclaimed wincing.

"Don t move," Shane demanded holding my hand.

"What the hell happened?" I asked with a sleepy voice. My head was throbbing pai
nfully.

"You passed out," Shane said staring at me.

"I did?" God, my head hurt so much "My head..."

"You hit your head when you fell," Shane gave me a sympathetic smile.
"I-"

"Yeah, Shane didn t catch you on time. Smooth, bro, really smooth," Jordan shook
his head disapprovingly at Shane.

"I tried, alright? But everything happened so fast. Besides, she didn t even tel
l me she was feeling sick," Shane retorted.

"Guys,"

"She s really skinny, how hard can it be to catch her?" Jordan folded his arms a
cross his chest.

"By the time I turned around she was already falling,"

"Guys,"

"Oh really?" Jordan narrowed his eyes at Shane.

"Guys!" I shouted getting their attention. They both snapped their head towards
me.

"What?"

"Could you please be quiet? My head is going to explode," I pleaded. They smile
d apogetically at me "Thank you, what time is it?" I lost notion of time but by
the sunlight streaming through the window I knew it was the morning already.

"7:25," Jordan said after glancing at his watch "Do you want anything? We can ta
ke you to the hospital if you want,"

"No," I sat up rubbing my throbbing forehead "Mom is on duty, she ll freak out i
f she sees me there,"

"Jules," I was surprised by Shane s soft voice. It wasn t everyday he called me

by my name. He usually used my last name "I really think we should take you. I m
ean, you hit your head pretty bad,"

"Yeah, because your shining knight in armor couldn t catch you," Jordan chimed i

n. Shane gave him a annoyed look.

"Dude, just drop it,"

"This is your fault, I haven t slept at all because of this," Jordan stated and
yawned.

"You mean, you didn t get laid because of this," Shane shot back. I rolled my ey
es.

"Stop," I ordered swinging my feet out of bed. My stomach roared and I smiled sh
yly at the two big guys in front of me "I m hungry,"

"Yeah, that s pretty obvious," Jordan chuckled "I ll get the maid to prepare som
ething for you," he walked out of the room.

"Can I use the bathroom?" I asked nervously. Shane nodded and gestured me a half
-opened door next to the drawers.

After taking a shower, eating yummy food and changing into Jordan s clothes I co
uld fairly say I was as good as new. I honestly didn t know why I passed out but
I would deal with that later. Right now, I was staring at my phone. It was a go
od thing Shane had been considered enough to pick it up when I blacked out. I re
ally couldn t afford another phone. My phone had obviously ran out of battery so
I was waiting patiently for it to charge. Ok, maybe not so patiently but I was
trying. I was sitting in Jordan s living room. I must admit he had a beautiful h
ouse. It was modern. You know, like that type of house with unusual shaped chair
s and leather furniture. There were psychedelic paintings all over the walls. Th
is house was truly bright.

"How are you feeling?" Jordan asked as he dropped himself on the couch across mi
ne.

"Good,"

"That s good,"

"Yeah," I wasn t really in the mood to talk to Jordan. He d acted like a jerk la
st night. he and Shane were horrible to Melissa. Oh, that reminded of the fact t
hat she probably hated me right now.

"Listen," Jordan started awkwardly "Shane told me you re Laura s best friend,"

"Yeah, I am," I said proudly.

"Why is she avoiding me?" for a moment, I saw a glint of sadness in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" I played the fool.

"You know what I mean, you re her friend. Girls always tell each other that stuf
f,"

"Hum, why do you want to know? I mean, you obviously don t care about her. You w
ere hitting on anything with boobs last night," I said bitterly.

"I just want to know. I m curious, that s all," he shrugged his shoulders carele
ssly.

"Youre just curious?" I rose both eyebrows at him "That s all?" I pressed staring
at him. Jordan shifted uncomfortable on the couch.
"I just don t get her,"

"And that s obviously eating you from the insides," I commented amused "You ve n
ever been avoided before, have you?"

"No," I chuckled "it s not funny," he glared at me.

"What happened between you two that night?" I had to ask. Mostly because I was c
urious as hell but also because I seriously needed to achieve some of the goals
in my task list "did you two..." I trailed off awkwardly. Jordan s eyes widened

as he realized what I was referring to.

"What? No!"

"Oh thank God!" I let out a sigh of relief. Lau was still virgin, what a relief!

"Why would you think..." he trailed off scowling at me "did she tell you we-" I
shook my head before he could finish that sentence "she doesn t remember, does s
he?" Jordan s tone grew sadder.

"No, she doesn t,"

"She thinks we had sex? That s why she s been avoiding me?"

"Not exactly,"

"Then what is it?"

"Well, she wasn t sure about what happened that night,"

"She was drunk. I would never take advantage of a drunken girl. I may be a jerk
sometimes," I cocked an eyebrow at him "well, most of the times, but I would nev
er go that low. Besides, she s-" he stopped talking abruptly as if he was going
to say something he shouldn t.

"She s what?"

"Never mind," we heard footsteps and then Shane was joining us.

"What s up?" he greeted falling backwards on the couch I was sitting until he wa
s lying over it. His head was resting on my lap. I glared at him and he gave me
a innocent smile. His hair was wet and he smelled of honey shampoo and soap. He
d probably just taken a shower "What were you guys talking about?" he asked curi
ously.

"Get off my lap," I tried pushing his head off but he wouldn t cooperate. I was
still mad at him about last night.

"Why so violent, babe?" he purred whilst his hand was going up to caress my chee
k. I slapped his hand away.

"Get off or I will stick my fingers in your eyes," I menaced. Jordan snickered.

"Hey, I saved you last night, remember? I don t deserve this treatment," he narr
owed his eyes at me. I faked a smile.

"Of course, you don t deserve this treatment," I leaned down as if I were to kis
s his forehead. He closed his eyes and I took the opportunity to push him off th
e couch "You deserve worse,"

"Sh*t!" Shane exclaimed as he landed on his stomach on the floor. Jordan burst o
ut laughing.

"You are something, girl," Jordan gave me a thumb up.

"Considering the fact that you let me fall last night, I think we re even," I sa
id to a very annoyed Shane. He was already standing in front of me massing his s
tomach.

"You are evil," he said aiming his index to me.

We spent the rest of the morning chatting and commenting about the party. I bare
ly spoke to Shane but Jordan was another story. The guy was awesome at telling f
unny stories and jokes. My stomach hurt from laughing so much. Even though, they
both acted like complete jerks the day before I couldn t help feeling guilty fo
r judging them before getting to know them. They were not as bad as they wanted
people to think they were. It was like I was seeing their true selves.

Was Mom right?

Was the player/jerk attitude just a mask for them?

It made sense. They were probably using it as shield against the world. I mean,
if you re a player you don t get attached to anyone so you won t get hurt. God,
I felt like I was thinking this too much. Shane fell asleep on my lap, yeah, I k
now, I had no idea how he managed to crawl back to me again. Jordan was yawning
and said he was going to take a nap. I sighed as I realized I couldn t move. I h
ad a very snoring Shane on my lap. So, I extended my hand towards my phone and s
miled when I noticed it was full charged.

The first thing I saw when I turned it on where the several emails I had from wa
ttpad. I scrolled down to look for one particular username. My stomach did a bac
k flip when I found the mail I was looking for.
"DarkPoet_001 sent you a message"

I clicked the message opened

"I saw you by accident"

Quickly, I started typing a reply.

Me: You there?

Him: Yeah.

Me: So, what was all that about?

Him: What?

Me: Don t play the fool. You said you saw me last night.

Him: Yeah.

Me: How?

Him: With my eyes?

Me: Evan, be serious.

Him: What do you want me to say?

Me: I want you to be honest with me.

Him: I m being honest.

Me: Then tell me where you live.

Him: Jules...

Me: I swear to God, that if you leave again and ignore my question I will never
speak to you again.

I was tired of him being so secretive. I was tired of being kept in the dark. Ev
an was all I could think of, he was the first thing I thought about when I woke
up. That wasn t a good sign, was it?

Him: I told you we live miles away.

Me: That s bullsh*t! How can you say that when you told me you saw me last night
?

Him: It was an accident. Believe me; I wasn t planning to see you.

Me: What s that supposed to mean?

Him: Why are you getting so upset about this?

Me: You keep confusing me. It s not fair. I feel like you enjoy playing with my
feelings.

Him: Feelings? What feelings?

My breath was caught inside my lungs. I shouldn t have said that.

Me: Never mind. Just answer my question.

Him: Jules, I m not good. I m not someone you want to get involved with so drop
it.

Me: You live here, don t you? You ve been living in my town all this time and ne
ver said anything.

Him: I can t tell you, Jules. I m sorry.

Me: Why can t you tell me?

Him: I just can t.

Me: So you re willing to lose me just because you can t tell me where you live.

Him: Yes.

That stung. Tears sprung to my eyes but I held them back.

Me: Wow... now I see how much you care for me.

Him: I never said I cared about you.

That was it. I felt he just stabbed my heart deeply. A tear escaped my left eye
and rolled down my cheek until it fell off my chin. Why did it hurt so much? I p
ut my phone away and closed my eyes.

I never said I cared about you.

Those hurtful words kept replaying inside my head. My lower lip quivered as tear
s streamed down my face. Then I felt a soft warm hand cupping my cheek. I opened
my eyes slowly, my sight was blurred but I could still see the handsome face of
the Antichips. Shane was sitting up, I didn t even notice when he got off my la
p. He looked into my eyes and wiped some of tears away. We didn t say anything.
We simply stared into each other s eyes until he pulled me to him and hugged me
tightly.

I never expected his arms to be so warm.

I never expected to be hugged by Shane Mason but the most unexpected fact was...

that it felt so good.

My Wattpad Love

Chapter 17

If you had said to me that I was going to be crying my eyes out over Shanes shoul
der, I wouldve laughed at your face. I wouldve called you crazy because three week
s ago, I was sure as hell that would never happen.

Oh well, screw my prediction skills, because right now, that was exactly what I
was doing.
The most shocking fact was that I wasnt used to crying in front of people. I mean
, not even Jason or Laura had seen me cry before, and here I was, sobbing like a
baby in the arms of the schools popular jerk.

Oh, life is truly unpredictable.

Shane remained in silence, and I was afraid that he would make fun of me or some
thing. But surprisingly, he kept his mouth shut.

Why was I crying, anyway? These tears made realize how much I cared for Evan. I
know it sounds crazy because Id even seen the guy in real life, but I couldnt help
it. I was attached to him; I was used to his good morning messages, his teasing
jokes and arrogant replies. We were so much alike, but at the same time, so dif
ferent. Evan knew more about me that my own best friend. I trusted him . . . why
? That was the question.

Why did I trust him? He was just some guy I met on the internet a month ago. How
did he end up becoming part of my life? A part of me? I knew it was my entire f
ault, how Id let him in. Therefore, I gave him the power to hurt me like he was d
oing right now.
I never said I cared about you...
His words stung. They were like fuel to the burning fire in my chest. Flashes of
his beautiful face came to my mind. I loved his smile, I loved the way dimples
form on his cheeks when he smirked. I was intrigued by the dark pool of his eyes
. They held so much mystery. His sexy voice was always present in my mind. I fel
t like he was playing with me... Hed been so caring and sweet sometimes. But then
he says he never cared about me. Thats so contradictory.

Is this a game for him?

I pulled away from Shane, sniffing and wiping my tears away. My eyes met his and
I couldnt help blushing in embarrassment.
Im sorry, I he put his index on my wet lips, interrupting me.
You dont have to say anything, he whispered and then he did something Id never expec
ted Shane Mason to do: he smiled at me. Shane gave me a genuine smile. Id seen hi
m smirk or smile mockingly, but I never expected him to give me a true smile.
Thank you, I said honestly. He nodded and then got off the couch awkwardly.
Whoever made you cry, he started looking right into my eyes, is not worth it. I didnt
know what to say and neither did he, so he simply walked upstairs. He knew I di
dnt want to talk about it, so I appreciated his consideration.
There was a knock on the door. I waited for Shane or Jordan to open it, but they
never came so I had to do it.

Sighing in frustration, I got on my feet. On my way to the door, I tried to fix

my face a little bit but I knew it was useless. My nose was probably tomato red
and my eyes were swollen. I probably looked like protagonist of a soap opera. Ok
ay, that was not a good comparison but well, Id never been good with comparisons,
if you havent noticed.
I opened the door and the sun hit my eyes mercilessly. I raised my hand to block
it and blinked, trying to see something. After having my vampire-reaction-to-th
e-sun moment, I could finally see who was standing right there in front of me. M
y jaw dropped to the floor.
Laura? I asked shocked.

She scowled at me and scanned my clothes. Her eyes narrowed as she clenched her
fists at her sides. It was then I remembered I was wearing Jordans clothes.
Oh, this didnt look good.
Its not what it looks like, I said quickly. Yeah, I know. It was such a clich phrase
. People usually judge when someone said that but hey, what else can you say whe
n it really isnt what it looks like?
I cant believe this, Laura stated, hurt plastered on her face. Melissa was right. She
took a step backwards.
Melissa? I frowned. What did she have to do with any of this? Lau, listen to me, I
Shut up! her voice cracked. How could you? You knew how much I like him!
Lau, I dont know what youre thinking but youre wrong, I tried to explain.
Am I? A tear rolled down her cheek, and she wiped it away angrily. I knew you were
hiding something from me!
I couldnt deny that. I was indeed hiding the entire Evan thing from her but it se
emed like she wasnt referring to that.

Dont talk to me ever again, she said through clenched teeth and started walking aw
ay.

Laura! Wait! I chased after her desperately. The ground was hot due to the intense
sun so I was forced to jump over it since I was walking bare feet. Lau! Wait! Da
mn it! Ow!

Laura was a good girl but shed always been very gullible. I knew Melissa had prob
ably poisoned her mind, telling her God knows what about me. And Laura, being th
e gullible girl she was, believed her.

Let me tell you something: Laura was an excellent runner. No matter how fast I t
ried to run, no matter how many trash cans I dodged, I couldnt catch up with her.
By the time I reached her house, she already had gone inside and slammed the do
or closed. I rested my hands on my knees breathing heavily. I was literally out
of breath.

Jules! I heard a distant scream, and I snapped my head towards the street and spot
ted Jasons car. He was there, half of his body was leaning over the window. Get in
the car now! He sounded desperate.

I cant! I have . . . I have to talk to Laura, I explained, holding my chest. Jeez,

I was seriously out of shape.

Get in now! This is an emergency, I scowled at him. Type Z, he finished looking aler
t.

Alright, I blamed it on Jason, but as soon as he said emergency, I couldnt help t

hinking this was about condoms. It was his entire fault that now, I related our
emergency code to condoms. Reluctantly, I walked around his car and jumped into
the passengers seat. As soon as I put my seatbelt on, Jason drove off fast.

Whats going on? I swear to God, this is about condoms I will

What? No, Jason shook his head, Why would you think that?

Then what is it? Because as far as I remember, Code Z is for a zombie apocalypse,

I couldnt help chuckling. Yeah, our emergency codes werent really realistic.

Really? I thought that was Z +, Jason retorted confused.

No, Z + is for the zombie apocalypse plus if youve been bitten,

No no... That was Z + 0, I rolled my eyes.

No, Z+ 0 is for an alien invasion! I argued.

What? No! Thats X +,

Alright! Fine! Can we discuss this later? I said, exasperated, Tell me whats going o
n. Whats the emergency?

Check your phone.

Oh God, tell me already.

Just check your damn phone! Jason ordered annoyed.

I did as I was told. I had 15 missed calls and 4 texts. They were all from Mom.

Uh-oh, I whispered checking the texts. She was really angry.

Shes looking for you. Youre lucky I found you before she did,

Where is she now? I was starting to panic.

Shes in the town. Well get home and then youll call her to tell her we were out buyi
ng peaches, my heart sank in my chest.

Peaches...

Peachy girl...

Was everything going to remind me of Evan now?

Jules? Jason glanced at me. I looked away.

Hum?

You okay?

Yeah,

As soon as we got to my house, I ran upstairs and changed into shorts and a simp
le t-shirt. When I called my mother, she sounded pretty upset so I waited for he
r in the living room whilst Jason was putting the peaches in the fridge.
When Mom arrived, she gave me a lecture about picking up the phone whenever she
called and all that stuff. After her motherly-like speech, she went to bed. She
was probably really tired. Jason and I went to my room. I sat on my bed, Indian
style. Jason simply stood there next to the door.

So, now, I want an explanation, he said casually.

What are you talking about?

Well, you didnt sleep at your house. I found you running like a crazy person in th
e street, wearing mens clothes and with a red face which means youve been crying, J
ason stated, folding his arms across his chest, I need an explanation.

Its a long story,

I have all day to listen; I sighed. Spit it out,

I told him the entire story, omitting Evans part. Jason told me he was going to t
alk to Laura about it to solve everything. Jason could be a man-whore sometimes,
but he wasnt stupid.

I understand most of the situation now, he ran his fingers through his hair, but yo
u still havent told me why you were crying, I looked down. Jason sighed and sat ne
xt to me. He held my chin forcing me to look up at him. You know you can tell me
anything, right? his green eyes shone with honesty. I nodded.

You promise you wont judge?

I promise,

I met a guy, I started awkwardly. I couldnt believe I was saying this aloud, on the
internet.

So?

We talked every day; I told him everything about me. We became friends.

Continue,

I gave him my house phone number.

You what?! Jason stood up. Why would you do that, Jules? Hes a stranger,

Im sorry, I wasnt really thinking. I just trusted him,

How can you trust him? Hes someone you met on the internet. You havent even seen th
e guy.

I saw him, I retorted. Jasons anger decreased as he waited for me to continue. I saw
him on Skype.

And?

The thing is . . . I trailed off nervously, I like him. Heck, Im crazy about him, I a
dmitted, looking away.

You like a guy you havent even seen, I mean, face to face? Jason sounded shocked. Th
ats...

Weird, I know. Im a freak,

No, no, Jules thats not what I meant. Its just . . . not something you see every da
y, he explained sitting back next to me.

I know its weird. You dont have to lie, I gave him a closed mouth smile.

Im not lying. Its pretty unusual but that doesnt mean its wrong. he stated, cupping my
face gently. You dont have to worry about what other people think, Jules. Dont be
afraid to be different because being different is what makes you special, his thu
mb rubbed my cheek softly.

It doesnt matter; he doesnt feel the same way. He made that cleared yesterday,

Is that why you were crying? I simply nodded. So youre going to let him go just like
that?

I dont have a choice.

Yes, you do. Do you honestly believe he doesnt feel the same way?

No, I dont know. Im not sure.

Then dont give up, he kissed my forehead and pulled me to his chest. Everything will
be alright, Jules. I promise.

**
Following Jasons advice was harder than I thought. I think I could easily qualif
y as a stalker. I had tried talking to Evan multiple times without getting a rep
ly. I posted on his message board on WattPad. Id sent him private messages but st
ill, there was no reply. I think I could fairly say that Evan was avoiding me. I
t was already Tuesday and I hadnt heard from him since last Saturday.
As for Laura, she wasnt picking her phone and I hadnt seen her since I was not att
ending school this week due to the powerful flu I caughtthanks to the events of l
ast Friday.

I was lazily lying over my couch; warm blankets were enveloping my sick body. My
nose was red and stuffed. My laptop was resting on my stomach. I was scrolling
down Evans profile as usual. It had become a habit now that I had nothing to do.
My heart dropped when I noticed hed just replied to some girl on his message boar
d. He was completely ignoring my messages. I watched how they started flirting s
hamelessly. Then, the girl made a comment about me:

Girl: Whos that girl? She kept posting messages on here.

Evan: I have no idea.
Girl: She looks a little bit stalkerish if you ask me.
Evan: Hum, yeah.
My face flamed up in fury. I opened the private message section and started typi
ng in a rush:
You are such a coward! I know youre avoiding me because you cant deal with the fac
t you actually care about me. I thought we were friends, I thought youd be decent
enough not to disrespect me like that in public. Im not stalker. Im your friend.
Im probably the only friend you have after what happened to your parents. Stop be
ing a coward and talk to me, Evan. Please!

I really thought that overloaded message was going to earn me a reply from him,
but it didnt. After watching him flirt with the girl on his profile, I slammed my
laptop closed and rubbed my temples. My head hurt and I was really cold. Mom ha
d gone out to pick up some medicine at the hospital for me. She asked for a few
free days to take care of me. That was the advantage of having a doctor as a mot
her. I had my personal doctor and didnt have to move my lazy ass to be cured.

The house phone rang, it didnt surprise me. Mom kept calling to check on me every
five minutes which was a little bit too much. People dont die because of a simpl
e flu. Well, with my luck, I wouldnt be so sure.

Hello? I answered with a sleepy voice.

Hey, my heart skipped a beat. My breath was caught inside my small lungs.

Evan?

Yes, his sexy voice sent shivers through my entire body. I had to lean against the
couch not to fall.

He-hey, I stuttered nervously.

Im not a coward. What do you want from me?

I . . . I was speechless. I hadnt been ready to hear his voice. I hadnt been ready t
o talk to him.

Youve been leaving tons of messages so lets get this over with. What do you want?

I just . . . I swallowed

You just what? he sounded so cold.

I want to see you, I blurted out all of the sudden.

Why? there was curiosity lining his voice now.

Ill make you a deal, I started. My fingers were playing nervously with the phones co
rd. Lets meet up and I promise I will leave you alone after that.

He hesitated. My heart was hammering inside my chest.

Please, say yes.

You wont let this go, will you?

No,

Then, we have a deal. he whispered. A smile crept to my lips. Meet me on Dawsons par
k today at 6 pm. Ill be next to the lake,

Okay.

Remember your promise.

Yes,

Alright, Ill see you later then, sweet Jules.

x M W L x

Yes! Are they going to finally see each other?!

Therell be a sneak peak from the next chapter. Ill post it on the facebook group l
ater. You havent checked the group? Psst! Youre missing out the fun. Im still sick,
people so be considerate with me.

Chapter 18

I was not ready.

I wasn t ready to meet Evan.

I knew it but there was no point of return now.

I squeezed my sweaty hands whilst I was forcing my feet to move across Dawson s
park. My pulse was erratic; I could feel my heart beats in my ears and throat. A
drop of cold sweat rolled down my forehead. I wiped it away quickly. Why was I
sweating? It was freaking cold out here. It had probably something to do with th
e fact that I was awfully nervous. I was having a hard time trying to breathe pr
operly, mostly because I was sicktherefore; my nose was all stuffed up.

I really hoped I wouldn t scare him away. I knew I wasn t hot; I wasn t even pre
tty so I wouldn t blame him for running away when he sees me. As I approached to
the lake, I realized I felt sick. The eagles in my stomach were fluttering arou
nd desperately. I needed to calm down if I didn t want to vomit all over the rec
ently pruned grass. It wasn t like I had a lot of food in my stomach anyway.

The sun was setting down, giving the lake s water a glint of orange. I stopped w
alking when I reached the edge of the lake. After a few seconds of hesitation, I
finally lifted my gaze and scanned around. There were a few couples sitting aro
und the lake. My body froze when my eyes spotted the tall figure of a guy. He wa

s standing right across me at the other side of the lake.

Evan...

My heart skipped a beat. He was there, Evan was actually there. He was leaning c
asually against a tree, looking careless. He was wearing dark faded jeans and a
black hood. He had his hands inside his jeans pockets. I swallowed. His deep-bl
ack eyes met my blue ones and the world stopped for me. It became hard for me to
even breathe. His gaze was so intense; it held so many untold stories and myste
ries. I felt like he was seeing right through me; as if his eyes were piercing m
y soul even when we were a few meters away, even when the lake was between us. M
y lips formed a nervous smile. He simply stared at me, his handsome facial expre
ssion unreadable.

God, I was going to die of a heart attack before I could even talk to him.

Holding my chest, I watched him walk around the lake as he came towards my direc
tion. The closer he came, the faster my heart pumped blood through my veins.

Breathe, Jules, breathe.

I chanted inside my head. I didn t want to

talk to him. Each step he took towards me
light brushed half of his face, making his
sn t real. I couldn t believe I was seeing
sages to me on WattPad. I still remembered

faint before I even got the chance to

was painfully slow. The vanishing sun
skin look creamy. I felt like this wa
him. I still remembered his first mes
our first argument.

His words...

"You re too cute for your good."

"Goodnight, sweet Jules."

"We re miles away, Jules."

I couldn t believe he was just a few meters away from me. He was really tall tha

t I think, he was even taller than Shane. I d never felt so self-conscious. I wa

s wearing tight jeans (Yes, shocking, I know.) and a simple, blue sleeveless t-s
hirt. My hair was combed at the sides of my face, getting slightly curly at the
ends. This wasn t the usual me, but it felt good to look presentable once in a w
hile. Laura had helped me with this. We fixed things earlier this afternoon and
I decided to tell her everything about Evan.

Conclusion: My best friend was the reason I looked slightly good right now. Besi
des, she was my ride back home after I was done here. She was waiting for me at
the parking lot. It was her punishment for believing Melissa s words instead of
mine.

Getting back to the situation at hand, I watched breathless how Evan, the mean D
ark_Poet001, headed to me. He stopped walking when he was right in front of me.
He kept a prudent distance. I swallowed feeling my dry throat. The deep pool of
his dark eyes seemed to be devouring me in a slow, but steady process. His midni
ght black hair was all messy, falling over his forehead and ears. His full lips
formed a simple smile; cute dimples appeared on his cheeks. God, he looked so cu
te.
"Hi," he said breaking the silence. His sexy voice made my knees go weak. He loo
ked extremely intimidating.

I felt like a small mouse in front of a huge tiger. Seeing him in person made me
notice the age gap between us. Evan looked more mature than any of the guys I d
met before; but it wasn t like I met many anyway. You could see he had been thr
ough a lot. He was an experienced person. But his face still conserved that cute
childish features that made him look cute in a manly way.

My mouth was partly opened; I realized I was staring at him. I looked away clear
ing my throat.

"He-Hey," Great, now I was stuttering. The tension was so thick a needle couldn
t have pierced through it.

"I m here," he tilted his head to the side.

"Yes, I can see that." I replied nervously. My eyes were glued to the green gras
s.

Look up, you idiot! My inner voice yelled at me.

"Jules?" To hear him say my name sent shivers through my spine.

"Yes?" I bit my lower lip. God, I needed to look at him but I just couldn t.

"Are you okay? You look a little pale," there were both concern and amusement li
ning his voice.

"I m fine," I said too quickly.

He held my chin forcing me to look up. His touch sent jolts of electricity throu
gh me. I met his dark eyes and I could see his smirk now.

"I didn t come here to watch you stare at the grass," he joked and pulled his ha
nd away.

"I wasn t . . ." I trailed off. "So, what s up?" I started rubbing my sweaty han
ds against my pants. Evan s smirk grew bigger, making the dimples in his cheeks
more noticeable.

"You look like you re going to pass out anytime soon."

"I m fine," I repeated.

"Sure. I knew he didnt believe me. He knew he made me nervous and that somehow gav
e him power over me.

Evan smiled at me and sat down on the grass. I stood there and gazed down at him
confused. He glanced at me, "Come on, sit down. I don t bite," he touched the s
pot next to him.

Was he being nice? Slowly, I sat on the spot next to him but still kept some spa
ce between us. We stayed like that for a while. We were staring at the sunset in
silence. It was so peaceful here. I couldn t believe Evan was sitting right nex
t to me. It was surreal. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye. He was focu
sed on the sight in front of him. He was so handsome. I looked away; he didn t n
eed to see me drooling over him.

"Why did you lie to me?" the question left my mouth before I could stop it. I co
uld feel his eyes on me but I kept my gaze on the orange sun.

"I didn t lie to you," he replied casually.

"You said we were miles away."

"We re miles away, I just didn t specify how many," I looked at him and found hi
m grinning mockingly.

"Very clever," I admitted smiling at him.

"I told you I was ridiculously hot and smart." he shrugged his shoulders. His ey
es held a glint of an amusement. I was getting more and more comfortable around
him. Dont get me wrong, I was still nervous. I was breathing heavily and sweating
like a pig but I was getting used to him. At least, I hadn t passed out.

"Getting cocky, aren t we?" I cocked an eyebrow at him.

"Yeah," he didn t
en mad at him but
to have him next

even deny it.

I just couldn

or something?

I narrowed my eyes at him. I knew I should ve be

t. He d been a jerk these past few days but just
forget everything. Besides, he was being nice no
"You re truly reckless; you know that, don t you

"Why?" I asked genuinely curious.

"Meeting a stranger in a park isn t the brightest idea,"

"You re not a stranger."

"I am a stranger for you, Jules," God, my stomach needed to stop doing the back
flip thing whenever he said my name.

"You are not a stranger," I repeated each word slowly. "I know you. I know a lot
about you."

"How can you possibly know I m not a bad person? I could be a killer or a rapist
, even a thief."

"But you re not."

"How can you know that?"

"I just do. I trust you."

His eyes widened. My words caught him out of guard. He shifted uncomfortably on
the ground and rolled his lower lip into his mouth.

"You re too naive for your own good." he whispered, staring back at the sunset.
"You shouldn t trust me." There was sadness in his voice. I felt the urge to hug
him. I didn t know where that came from but I felt like he needed me. He needed
comfort.

"Evan . . . I . . . I extended my hand towards his shoulder.

Should I touch him?

Should I tell him I liked him?

One thing was for sure: this meeting had only increased my feelings for him. Hav
ing him so close to me made me realize how big what I felt for him was. It sound
ed so crazy but it didn t matter that we hadn t had actual face-to-face conversa
tions before this one. I felt like I d known him since forever. Yeah, that was j
ust too cheesy back there, but I m just being honest.

My hand reached his shoulder and I felt him stiffen. For a moment, I thought he
was going to push my hand away, but he didn t. So, I dared to move my hand forwa
rds and caressed his face gently. He closed his eyes. His skin was so soft, my f
ingers traced down his cheek to his jaw. But then, his hand grabbed my wrist.

"Stop," he ordered, turning to me. He was looking right into my eyes. Slowly, he
let go of my wrist and pushed my hand away.

"I was just"

"Just stop," he said coldly.

I looked down feeling slightly rejected. I heard him sigh.

"I m sorry." I looked up, surprised. Did he just apologize? "I m just not used t
onever mind, I should probably go now." He got on his feet. I imitated him feelin
g extremely sad. It wasnt enough. I needed more.

"So this is it?" I asked not bothering to hide the sadness in my tone. I had to
tilt my head backwards to look at him. We stared into each other s eyes without
saying anything. I knew this was it. I had to leave him alone after this, I gave
him my word. God, it was going to be so hard. Evan s gaze dropped to my lips an
d my breath quickened. I bit my lower lip nervously.

Kiss me . . .

That thought roamed around my mind. His lips looked so inviting, so soft. Evan t
ook a step backwards breaking the moment.

"Remember your promise," his words stung. They burnt my beating heart.

"I will." I tried to sound as casual as possible. He nodded and then got his han
d inside his pocket. He took a folded paper out and gave it to me.

"What s this?" I asked, starting to unfold it. He placed his hand over mine and
squeezed it closed around the paper.

"Read it when you get home," he demanded as he let go of my hand. "Bye, Jules,"
he whispered, getting his hands inside his hoods pockets. He turned on his feet a
nd started walking away. I was left there in pure confusion and sadness.

Should I go after him and tell him how I feel?

Should I read the paper?

Should I ran to him and kiss him?

Feeling romantic, I decided I would go after him and kiss him. What did I have t
o lose?

Your dignity, my inner voice replied. Ignoring it, I was about to start running
when I sneezed loudly.

Oh right, I was sick. I couldn t kiss him like that. He d probably be disgusted.
I mean, who wants someone else s germs? I knew I didn t. What was I thinking? I
couldn t just go and press my lips against his. This was the first time we d se
en each other. He d think I m crazy or something like that.
Defeated, I turned on my feet and headed towards the parking lot.

The ride home was silent; Laura had bombarded me with questions but I simply tol
d her that I didn t want to talk about it. She seemed to understand because she
kept her mouth shut for the rest of the ride.

**

I walked inside my room and slammed the door closed behind me. Hurriedly, I took
off my shoes and jumped on the bed sitting Indian style. I proceed to unfold th
e paper Evan had given to me. His writing was slightly cursive, I proceed to rea
d. It was a poem:

The Girl and the Shark.

Once upon time, in the middle of the night

A girl and a shark got up to fight.

They are so different yet so much alike,

He is hopelessly doomed,
Whilst she glows and shines.

She walks gracefully in the dark,

Ignoring the constant danger,
Oblivious to the watching Shark.

She dances around bringing joy and smiles

To those pained hearts
She considers worthwhile.

She believes in soul mates,

She believes in love,
But the cruel truth is
She doesnt have any of those.

The awaiting shark has lost his soul,

He stupidly thinks
She can fill the hole.

That empty hole in his chest,

It swallows everything,
Even his own blood and flesh.

The pain had made him numb,

Turning him into a cold monster,
One that doesnt deserve love.

Hurtful words have stamped his spirit.

Scars have marked his body,

Salvation is inaccessible to him

He is just a nobody.

The girl and the shark must stay apart,

Because he will not wound
Her precious kind heart

- Evan.

I stared at the paper in shock. I didnt need to be a genius to know that he was T
he Shark and I was the girl. At the end of the page, there was a drawing. It was
a cute small strawberry; there were a few words written next to it:

Youre beautiful :)

My Wattpad Love

Chapter 19

I was seriously questioning my morals. Keeping a promise had never felt so impos
sible in my entire life; not even when I promised Mom, I wouldn t play with her
shoes when I was seven. Yeah, that had been a tough promise to keep, believe me.
I was sitting on my bed; my laptop was on my lap. I was scrolling down Wikipedi
a. I was focused on reading an specific term:

Morality (from the Latin moralitas "manner, character, proper behavior") is the
differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are goo
d (or right) and those that are bad (or wrong).

Right and wrong...

There was such a thin line between those two. I knew it was wrong to break a pro
mise but God, it was getting so hard. It d been two days since the day I met Eva
n in the park. Two long agonizing days... I d been at home trying to recover fro
m the so opportune flu I d caught last week. I read Evan s poem over and over ag
ain. How could he expect me to forget about him just like that? He wrote me a fr
eaking heartbreaking poem and then he expected me just to forget him? He certain
ly didn t know me well. I wasn t the type of girl to give up so easily. But then
there was the fact that I d given him my word. However, my word didn t seem too
valuable for me right now.

Maybe, I could talk to him and blame it on the cough medicine. That thing was st
rong; it got me all sleepy and relaxed. I could tell him I got an overdose or so
mething.

Yeah, Julie, cough medicine overdose... classy.

Sighing in frustration, I closed the Wikipedia tab and immediately the browser s

howed me Wattpad. I d got many privates messages but any of them was from Evan.
Not being able to hold back any longer, I clicked on Evan s profile. I wasn t go
ing to talk to him; I was just going to check his profile, that wasn t bad, was
it? As soon as I scroll down his message board, I knew this was a bad idea. He w
as talking to that girl again. My heart sank in my chest as I watched them flirt
.

Didn t he know how bad he was hurting me?

If he was going to flirt with her, couldn t just he do it through private messag
es? It was like he was rubbing all this on my face. I slammed my laptop closed a
nd fell backwards on my bed. I stared at the ceiling in silence.

"What should I do?" I wondered aloud, rubbing my face. I closed my eyes remember
ing him. I would never forget his face; Evan was not only the hottest guy I d ev
er seen. He had that mysterious sexy aura around him, it pulled me towards me. I
felt like I wanted to unveil all his secrets, I knew he was suffering. I saw th
e hidden pain in his deep-dark eyes. But he d chosen to push me away. He d chose
n to be all alone in this. Why? I knew he had a bad past. His parents death mus
t ve been traumatic for him. Was that why he didn t want me around?

The Girl and the Shark...

His poem really got to my heart. His words seemed to come to life whenever I rea
d it. My chain of thoughts was interrupted by a much unexpected song.

"Dirty babe, you see these shackles. Baby I m your slave," I snapped my eyes ope
ned and sat up in shock. The song was coming from my phone, I scowled at it "I l
l let you whip me if I misbehave. It s just that no one makes me feel this way,"

What the hell...? I d never liked Justin Timberlakes music. How on Earth did that
song end up in my phone? I picked up my phone and everything made sense when I
saw the caller ID:
Jerkpid

"Seriously?" I answered annoyed. Shane laughed at the other side of the line.

"You like our song, babe?"

"How the hell did you-ah, never mind." I shook my head disapprovingly.

"It s a good song, admit it. It really suits us, you know."

"Us? There s no us."

"Someone s grumpy," Shane chuckled.

"What do you want?" I asked bothered. It was then I noticed the voices in the ba
ckground.

"We just got out of school and decided to visit the sick puppy."

"We?"

"Hey, Jules!" I heard a scream in the background "We re coming over!"

"Is that Laura?" I asked surprised.

"Yeah,"

"Who else is with you?"

"Jordan. Listen, the reason-"

"Wait wait... slow down," I demanded confused "Laura and Jordan are together?"

"Hum, yeah,"

"Since when?" Jesus, I missed school for a week and everyone decided to make the
big choices in my absence.

"Since yesterday?" Shane answered hesitantly "Im not sure but listen-"

"She didn t tell me a thing. How could she?"

"Could you please just shut up? I m trying to say something here." Shane exclaim
ed annoyed.

"Fine, what is it?"

"Is there anything you want? We re going to the grocery store first to get you a
pple juice and sick people s stuff..."

"Sick people s stuff? Really?" I couldn t help chuckling. Shane sighed in frustr
ation as he waited "Hum, I want Ruffles." I said without hesitation.

"I already knew that," he stated arrogantly "You re really predictable." I rolle
d my eyes.

"Well, then get me some gumdrops."

"Gumdrops!" Shane shouted to someone "See ya in a few minutes, babe."

"Stop calling me-" he hung up before I could finish, such a gentleman!

Wait...

They re coming over... and I looked like the drown version of a mutilated zombie
. Wow, my comparison skills truly sucked. I jumped out of bed and headed to the
bathroom. As soon as I faced the mirror, I knew I was a lost cause. My hair was
knotty and greasy. My nose and cheeks were flaming red, my eyes looked dull and
my lips dry. I washed my face and got my hair in a bun. I changed into a pair of
shorts and a sleeveless loose t-shirt. I sat back down on my bed to wait for th
e guys.

I realized the surrealism of this situation. How was it that Lau and I end up be
ing friends with the school s players? Jeez, this sounded like a wattpad clich st
ory. You know, where the average girls get close to the popular boys just out of
the blue. The only difference was that I wasn t interested on Shane, was I? I p
ushed that thought away. The bell rang and jumped out of bed. Did they arrive al
ready? That was fast, well, Shane drove like a crazy fast and furious driver, so
it wasn t really shocking. I was walking downstairs when I heard the bell again
.

"I m coming!" I shouted walking faster. Jeez, I was sick. It wasn t like I could
fly to the door. Insensitive
bastards! I grasped the doorknob and pulled the door opened.

Holy Mother of Ruffles!

The whole world stopped for me. My jaw almost dropped to the floor.

"You," I said in an almost inaudible whisper. I was positive I wasnt breathing, h

ell, I wasn t even sure my heart was beating. I squeezed the doorknob in shock.

Evan... Evan was standing right in front of me. This had to be a dream. Oh no...
the cough medicine was truly affecting me. Was I having an overdose? but, I was
sure I had taken the right quantity. I frowned trying to remember how much coug
h medicine I d taken. What if it was expired? That could cause hallucinations, r
ight?

"Jules?" His sexy voice made my heart beat faster. He was there, he was right th
ere, looking absolutely adorable. A sad expression was plastered on his handsome
face. His dark hair was even messier than the last time I d seen him as if he h
ad ran his fingers through it too many times. His deep-black eyes stared at me i
n silence. He was wearing dark-blue jeans and a blue hoddie.
"What... are you do-doing here?" I stuttered swallowing hard.

"I just..." he trailed off scratching the back of his head "This was a bad idea,
" he stated turning on his feet. He started walking away, there was a car parked
in front of my house. It was probably his.

Wait...

He was walking away...

Hell no, I wasn t going to let him go this time.

I ran to him and before I could think properly, I wrapped my arms around him fro
m behind. He froze whilst I was hugging him tightly. I buried my face in his bac
k. He smelled so nice. It was a combination of lavender softener and a light col
ogne.

"Don t go," I mumbled pathetically. Evan s stiff body relaxed a little. I could
feel the beats of his heart. God, it was beating so fast. Was it for me?

"I miss you." I heard him whisper so weakly I d barely caught it. My heart melte
d at his words.

"I missed you too." I replied frankly. Evan placed his hands on mine to pull the
m away from him. I let my hands fall to my sides as he turned to face me. We sta
red into each other s eyes intently.

"I hope we can be friends," he stated, his face turned into a cold expression. I
scowled at him.

"Friends?" I asked hurt. I liked him, I was crazy about him and he was asking me
to be his friend?

"Yes." he said casually.

"I guess we can be friends even though I-" he pressed his index finger against m

y lips.

"Friends." he repeated the word silencing me. His finger caressed my lower lip s
oftly causing me to shiver and close my eyes. I felt him lean forwards; his fore
head touched mine "My friendship, that s all I can offer, Jules. Take it or leav
e it." his breath fanned my lips teasingly. God, if he wanted me to be his frien
d he seriously needed to back away now. I was struggling not to move forward and
plant my lips against his. I opened my eyes slowly and looked in the depth of h
is.

"I ll take it," he knew I would take it. I would do anything to stay close to hi
m. I had no idea how I ended up feeling this strong towards him. It was like it
was meant to be, as if I was meant to be with him. Maybe I was crazy; I d never
been a regular person. Untold love stories and cheesy novels were always in my m
ind. I d always had the hope of finding the right guy for me. I didn t know if t
hat guy was Evan but a part of me knew he needed me. Evan needed a friend. I kne
w it was going to be hard-if not impossible to be this close to him without spit
ting out my feelings but I had to try.

"Good." he said taking a step backwards. He smiled brightly at me. his adorable
dimples formed in his cheeks. I couldn t help returning the smile even though I
felt sad in the inside. A cold breeze brushed my skin. I rubbed my arms and sat
on the front stairs. Evan imitated my movements and sat next to me "How are you?
" he sounded concerned.

"Surviving, this damn flu is killing me slowly and painfully," Evan chuckled.

"Youre so dramatic."

"It s true."

"Yeah, right," he rolled his eyes and shook his head disapprovingly "Look at the
bright side, you didn t have to go school."

"I missed all the fun. Jordan and Laura got together and I was the last to know.
" I almost pouted.

"It was about damn time they got together." Evan commented starting to take his
hoodie off.

"What are you doing?"

rms came on sight. He
k tattoo on the right
beautiful, it had the

I asked confused. I couldn t help blushing when his bare a

was left with a black t-shirt. It was then I noticed a dar
side of his neck. It was a very strange design but it was
right curves ending close to his jaw "You have a tattoo?"

"Yeah, put it on." he said offering his hoodie to me. I scowled at him "I know y
ou re cold. You shouldn t be out of the house so put it on." he insisted. Reluct
antly, I grabbed his hoddie and pulled it over my head. It was too big for me bu
t it was warm and it smelled of him. God, it smelled so good. Trying not to snif
f on the hoodie and look freaky, I focused my eyes on the tattoo.

"You never told me you have a tattoo" I couldn t help staring at his neck.

"You never told me you didn t water your flowers," he stated pointing the dead s
tiff flowers in front of us "There are many things we haven t told each other,"
he glanced at me, grinning amused. I couldn t help laughing a little.

"How do you know where I live, stalker?" I said folding my arms across my chest.

"Jason told me." Evan shrugged his shoulders.

"Jason?" I asked shocked "You know him?"

"Yeah, we re sort of friends."

"But he s never mentioned you before,"

"I said sort of

he s dating my sister."

"What?" As far as I knew, Jason wasn t dating anyone. he was only banging Helen.
.. oh no... "Helen is your sister?"

"You know her?" he looked at me and I looked away. I couldn t tell him Jason was
actually using her sister just for sex. Jason could be a manwhore sometimes but
he was my best friend, I didn t want him dead.

"Yeah, he s mentioned her before." I mumbled "So you ve been living here all thi

s time, how come I ve never seen you before?" I needed to change the subject.

"I don t live here. I live in River Town."

"Oh" River town was a close town. It was probably 30 minutes away from here "but
Helen lives here." I stated confused.

"She lives with our Aunt. I live by myself in our parents house." his tone grew
colder. He probably didn t want to talk about his parents.

"I see." we stayed in silence for a moment.

"Did you like the poem?" he asked softly. I looked up at him, my cheeks tainted
red.

"Yes, it was really good." I admitted frankly. He smirked at me.

"Of course, it was. I wrote it." he said arrogantly. I chuckled shaking my head.

"I forgot about your big ego." I poked his arm.

"Ow! Say no to violence, woman."

"I was just checking if I could pierce through your ego, you know." I teased smi
rking.

"Is that so?" He cocked an eyebrow. He gave me a devilish smile and started poki
ng my stomach. I was really ticklish so I started laughing until there were tear
s streaming down my face.

"Stop!" I begged among laughter. My belly was starting to hurt. I tried to push
him away but he wrapped an arm around my waist pulling me closer to him. I could
n t breathe, oh God, I was going to die of laughter, literally. He stopped and i
t was then I noticed how close we were. His nose was almost touching mine as he
breathed heavily on my lips. Evan s gaze dropped to my mouth and I bit my lower
lip in anticipation.

A horn interrupted our moment; we both got away from each other and snapped our
heads to the street. A very excited Laura jumped out of Shane s SUV, followed by
Jordan. Shane was the last one to get out of the car. I remained unmoving as I
watched my friends coming closer. Confusion and curiosity plastered on their fac
es as they looked between me and Evan.

I smiled shyly at them. It was going to be a long night.

My Wattpad Love

Chapter 20

We all have awkward moments in our lives. It s like we re destined to have them.
Sometimes I wonder if it s normal to have so many because I was certainly going
to break a record or something. Well, I was about to have what I d like to defi
ne the most awkward moment of my life. As Laura, Jordan and Shane walked towards
me and Evan, I had no idea of what to say or how to say it. My brain didn t see
m to process the situation. Maybe, the cough medicine syrup did have an effect o
n me. Whatever the reason for my frozen state was, it didn t matter at the momen
t. Laura was the first one to get to us. She was smiling knowingly.
"Hey," she greeted. Evan stood up and I did the same. Jordan reached Lau from be
hind and wrapped his arms around her waist. He rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Hey, sick puppy," Jordan said grinning at me but then his grin vanished when he
looked at Evan.
Shane was the last to come closer. His hands were full of bags. His face was unr
eadable. It was like a mask of coldness was covering his face. I mean, Shane alw
ays had that arrogant playful attitude since the very first day we started talki
ng but right now, his face was just blank. No trace of playfulness not even arro
gance were on it. I scowled at him but he simply stopped walking once he was nex
t to Jordan and Lau. That was how the awkward silence began. What wasn t I sayin
g something? Everyone was waiting for me to introduce Evan and I was standing th
ere like an idiot. Laura made me a gesture to speak.
"Jules?" She called my name and that seemed to snap me out of my trance.
"Ugh, guys, this is hum" I trailed off nervously. Everyone was staring at me expec
tantly.
Awkward moment when your real friends meet your online friend
Laura raised an eyebrow waiting for me to continue.
"I m Evan." Evan spoke for me. He shook Jordan s hand.
Jordan,
Shane,
Im Laura, nice to meet you, Evan. Laura said his name slowly flashing amused smiles
at me.
What are you doing outside? Shane asked coldly. I opened my mouth to speak but he
continued Youre sick. You shouldnt be out in the cold. I knew he was right.
Lets get inside. Laura agreed.
I should probably go now, Evan whispered to me. I knew he wasnt comfortable.
No, dont go. Laure intervened grinning like a cat Were going to watch a movie. You sh
ould stay. There are enough snacks for everyone. Her excitement was contagious.
Yeah, Jordan agreed as he started walking towards the door holding Laus hand. When
he passed Evan, I heard him whisper dont eat the Ruffles though, shell kill you. He
pointed me mocking fear.
Very funny, Jordan, I rolled my eyes.
After getting our frozen butts inside the house, Jordan and Lau sat on the big c
ouch. Evan sat on the other couch shyly. Shane took the bags to the kitchen. I h
esitated, not knowing where I should sit. Evan was rubbing his hands over his la
p, he was probably feeling out of place. I was about to sit next to him when a h
and was wrapped around my arm.
I need your help in the kitchen, Shane muttered and dragged me out of the living r
oom, almost literally. It was getting hard to follow his pace. As soon as we ent
ered the kitchen, he pushed me inside roughly. His hazel eyes were blazing with
anger. His jaw tensed. Id never seen Shane angry before, it kind of scared me.
Hey! I whined rubbing my arm Whats your problem?

You. You are my problem, he said stalking towards me. I backed away until my back
met the fridge.
What are you talking about? I frowned confused. Shane passed his hand over my shou
lder and pressed it against the fridge.
Who the hell is that freak? I knew he referred to Evan.
His name is Evan and hes not a freak. I stated offended. Shane laughed bitterly.
Thats the guy from wattpad, isnt he?
How do you know-
Youre truly reckless, Jones. You let a stranger visit you while youre alone in your
house.
Hes not a stranger. Hes my friend. I didnt like the tone Shane was using.
He is a stranger, he repeated slowly are you out of your mind? Shane definitely knew
how to push my buttons Hes the reason you were crying the other day, isnt he? I kep
t my mouth shut but my silence said everything Wow, Shane shook his head taking a
step backwards you like him. It was not a question.
Why are you getting so upset about this? I asked him folding my arms across my che
st. My eyes widened in realization Are you jealous? Shane laughed.
Why would I be jealous? he asked amused. He walked towards me once again cornering
against the fridge.
I dont know. Youre acting like a jealous boyfriend right now, I placed my hands on h
is chest trying to push him away but he only grabbed my wrists holding them in t
he air. His eyes looked right into mine.
Im not jealous. He said leaning forwards If I wanted you, I wouldve had you a long ti
me ago.
Yeah right, I rolled my eyes.
It would be so easy to seduce you, his gaze dropped to my lips to please that virgi
n body of yours.
How do you know Im a virgin? I swallowed.
Its written all over your face. He smirked at me.
Theyre waiting for us. Let me go.
I make you nervous, he said satisfied Thats a start. He let me go. I stared at him co
nfused for a moment before running off the kitchen with one of the bags.
When I got back to the living room, Laura was sitting on the floor staring at so
me movies covers displayed in front of her. Jordan was telling her which one to
pick. Evan was in the same position Id left him. I couldnt believe he was actually
there. I sat next to him, he smiled at me.
Welcome back, his smile grew bigger, the cute dimples formed on his cheeks. My hea
t skipped a beat.
Miss me? I teased returning the smile. His dark eyes locked with mine as he replie

d,
Always, the sincerity in his sexy voice made the dragons inside my stomach flutter
. My eyes landed on his lips, they looked so full and wet. I bet my Ruffles he w
as a good kisser. Sadness filled me when I realized I would never find out if he
was a good kisser or not. He wanted to be my friend and last time I checked fri
ends dont kiss each other. I looked away from him, it was enough temptation to ha
ve him so close to me.
So, I stated getting Laus attention What are we watching?
Dawn of the bloody mutilated zombies, Jordan joked. I chuckled.
I dont know. There are so many, I want to watch them all, Laura whined pouting. Yea
h, did I mention my best friend have an obsession with movies? She even wants to
be a film director when she finishes high school.
Did you pick a movie already? Shane joined us sitting next to Jordan. Lau shook he
r head frustrated.
We should probably vote, Evan chimed in surprising us all. We all stared at him, i
t was the first time he was actually interacting with my friends You know, the mo
vie with more votes wins.
Thats a good idea, man, Jordan nodded his head.
Alright, I clapped my hands excitedly Our options? I asked Laura.
Well, we have she trailed off scanning the movies Kiss me now, she showed the first m
ovie,
Oh the irony
We also have Dawn of the zombies Friends with Benefits and Seduce me
Why are there so many romantic movies? Shane asked annoyed turning to Jordan I thou
ght you were going to pick the movies at the store,
Hum, well, she Jordan looked at Laura its hard to say no to her, you know.
Arg, man, youre whipped. Shane shook his head disapprovingly. We all laughed a litt
le at Jordan.
Time to vote, I shouted grinning.
Dawn of the Zombies, Shane and Jordan said at the same time.
So predictable, Lau rolled her eyes I vote for Friends with benefits she glanced at me
and winked. I really didnt want to watch a zombie movie. To be honest, I didnt ha
ve a strong stomach. Show me too much blood and guts and youll probably see me pu
king.
Friends with Benefits, I voted hesitantly. We all snapped our head towards Evan.
Its up to you, Laura waited for him to reply. Each movie had two votes, the choice
was up to Evan. Jordan started mouthing Choose the zombie one to him.
Jordan! Stop! He needs to choose by himself, I said looking at Evan. He seemed uns
ure of what to say.

Please, say Friends with Benefits, please.

I pleaded mentally. Evan looked at me and smiled.
Friends with benefits, he said loudly.
Yes! Lau jumped to her feet and started doing some weird happy dance Take that, zom
bie sucker! she stuck her tongue out to Jordan.
Dude, what the fuck? Jordan complained shaking his head at Evan.
Its hard to say no to her, Evan replied pinching my cheek. My heart melt in my ches
t, I was sure I wasnt breathing. I couldnt help blushing fiercely. I cleared my th
roat.
So, lets watch it, I tried to cover my flushed cheeks but I probably looked like a
tomato. I could feel eyes on me; I lifted my gaze to find Shane. He was staring
intently at me.
We need to get the snacks out of the bag, Shane gestured the bag I was holding Come
on, Jones. We all know you want to kidnap the Ruffles but theres enough for ever
yone. I narrowed my eyes at him.
I thought they were all for me, I retorted holding the bag tightly.
There are live five huge bag of Ruffles there, Jordan chimed in come on, share. I si
ghed in defeat.
Fine, one bag for you. I threw a bag at him. Jordan caught it in mid-air. I heard
Evan chuckled next to me. I glanced at him.
You never told me you have an obsession with Ruffles, he commented amused.
I thought we agreed there were many things we havent told each other, I used his ow
n words against him. I stole a glance at his tattoo and he nodded knowingly.
You got me there. He admitted rolling his lower lip into his mouth. Didnt he know h
e was provoking me by doing that?
Time for the movie! Lau shout excitedly. We all got on our seats. Reluctantly, Sha
ne sat next to the lovey-dovey couple. Lau turned the lights off and started the
movie. As soon as we were surrounded by darkness, I felt extremely uneasy. Evan
was mere inches away from me. I could see him from the corner of my eye.
Calm down, breathe.
I chanted inside my head trying to ease my heart beats. We watched the first min
utes of the movie in silence, of course, we would make a few comments once in a
while. But then it happened: a sex scene. The main characters started kissing an
d moving towards the bed. My face flamed up in embarrassment, my ears felt hot.
Evan shifted uncomfortable next to me.
Wow, nice choice, girls. Shane teased grinning. I looked at Lau, her mouth was han
ging opened. Dont get me wrong, we were virgins and this wasnt the first time wed s
een a sex scene. The thing was, this was the first time we watched a sex scene w
ith three guys in the same room with us.
Awkward moments: 2 for the night.
I was certainly breaking a record. My heart was hammering inside my chest; my ha

nd was resting next to my thigh. I froze when I felt Evans hand holding mine. I l
ooked at him and he seemed focused on the movie. What was he doing? He squeezed
my hand gently and I felt like I was going to pass out right there. My hand was
getting sweaty, was he noticing that? The scene got even more intense, the girl
was moaning loudly. Alright, that was my key to escape.
Im going to the bathroom, I excused myself poorly. Lau snapped her head towards me;
she stared at me with pleading eyes. I mouthed Sorry to her and escaped the situa
tion.
I entered the bathroom, closed the door and moved towards the mirror. I rubbed m
y sweaty hands over my face. How could I lie? Masking my feelings was going to b
e harder than I thought. But I knew I needed to swallow everything I felt for Ev
an if I wanted to keep him around. It was kind of masochist if you ask me. It wa
s like having your favorite food in front of you without being able to even tast
e it. There was so much mystery behind Evans eyes. What did I have this urge to c
onform him? I sighed leaning forwards; I pressed my forehead against the mirror
and closed my eyes. Immediately, his face displayed in my mind. He looked so cut
e when he smiled. There was something in the way he looked at me that made me fe
el nervous but good at the same time.
What should I do? I wondered aloud.
Kiss him, I snapped my eyes opened. My best friend smiled at me through the mirrors
reflection. She was behind me.
I cant.
Why not? God, hes hot! Lau exclaimed dreamily.
He wants us to be friends, I whispered sadly.
Then friends with benefits it is!
No!
Oh come on, the movie is like this huge signal from God. You two need to hook up,
she aimed a finger at me.
Speaking of hook ups, I turned to her How come Im the last one to know you and Jorda
n are together now? I placed my hands on my hips. Laura bit her lower lip, guilty
plastered on her face.
Sorry about that; everything happened so fast and you were sick so I-
Excuses, excuses, I interrupted her.
This isnt about me. She retorted This is about you and mysterious boy out there.
Theres nothing to say, I shrugged my shoulders.
Youre crazy about him, just kiss him.
He doesnt like me like that,
Are you serious? Lau asked in a puff Cant you see the way he looks at you? He totall
y has the hots for you,
You need to stop hanging out with Shane and Jordan. Youre getting their phrases, I
commented seriously anyway; nothing is going to happen between Evan and me.

You wanna bet? Lau cocked an eyebrow Its a matter of time. He cant hold himself back
forever, neither can you. Your self-control will crack, trust me. I looked down p
laying with my fingers.
I just I dont want to risk everything for a kiss. What if I kiss him and he rejects
me? Being his friend is better than nothing, Lau wrapped her arms around me pull
ing me into a hug.
Youre a great girl, Jules. Hes stupid if he cant see that. She kissed my hair.
You only say that because youre my best friend, I stated pulling away from her. Lau
smiled at me.
Probably, she teased pinching my nose which was a terrible mistake. Remember Id cau
ght the flu? Her fingers were instantly filled with mucus Ew! Lau exclaimed washin
g her hand in the sink whilst I was laughing my ass off.
We got back to the living room. The boys seemed to be chatting about some band.
Were back, Lau informed sitting on Jordans lap. Evan was using his phone. He put bac
k in his pocket when I sat back next to him. As soon as the movie started again,
I thanked God the sex scene was over. The movie was about to be over when I fel
t Evan get closer to me until his breath was brushing my ear. I swallowed.
I have to go now, his sexy voice and hot breath fanned my ear sending shivers thro
ugh my already revolted body.
Hum, I-I okay. I finished embarrassed. I hated stuttering. Guys, Evan has to go. Ill
walk him to the door. I informed getting off the couch. Lau mouthed Kiss him! to me
. I glared at her. They all waved their hands to Evan as we started our way to t
he door. We stepped out of the house.
So, he started looking at me I had fun.
Me too. I admitted nervously.
Its a shame I have to go but its late and I have to drive back home.
I understand, my heart was going to jump out of my chest. I realized I was still w
earing his hoodie I should probably get this back to you, I said starting to take
it off. Evan grabbed my hands stopping me. His touch sent a tingling sensation t
hrough me.
Keep it, he said softly. I looked up at him. He was smiling sweetly at me. I found
myself lost in the depth of his eyes.
Evan, I
Tell him! Kiss him! Do something!
Yes? he stared at me in silence.
I my throat was dry. One of his hands cupped my cheek. I couldnt help closing my eye
s and pressing my face against his hand. His touch felt so good, so right. I fel
t him lean forward.
Was he going to kiss me? Oh God! Did my breath smell? Was I going to give him th
e flu? I stopped breathing. He pressed his warm lips against my cheek and then b
acked away breaking all contact between us. I opened my eyes disappointed. I for

ced a smile trying to cover up my disappointment.

Im glad you agreed to be my friend, he said walking backwards.
Yeah, yay me! I truly sucked at pretending to be okay. Evan gave me one last smil
e before turning on his feet and getting in his car. I watched him leave; my hea
rt was falling inside my chest. God, this was going to be harder than I thought.
I got inside the house and let myself fall on the couch. My phone buzzed in my
pocket. I checked the e-mail, it was from Wattpad.
Dark_poet001 sent you a message.
I frowned as I clicked the message opened:
My hoodie looks good on you. Night, cute Jules.

X M W L X

A/N: Jules had a busy night, didnt she? Anyway, I wanted to thank you guys for be
ing the awesome fans you are. I got all your messages wishing for me to get bett

wishing for a quick death. Im not completely healed but Im definitely feeling bet

My Wattpad Love
Chapter 21

Youre a chicken!
I m not!
Yes, you are
Im not! I repeated annoyed. Laura hadnt stopped teasing me about the entire Evan thi
ng. According to her, I was a hopeless coward. She certainly didnt get the part w
here he told me he wanted me to be my friend. He said that was all he could offe

r me and Id accepted it. Being his friend was better than nothing. However, it wa
s going to be a lot of harder than I thought.
Anyway, back to the present, it was lunch time; we were sitting on one of the ca
feterias square tables. Yeah, I finally came back to school. I had a lot to catch
up with but Lau was helping me with it, besides annoying the hell out of me of
course.
Admit it. She said aiming her fork at me.
I am not a chicken, I uttered each word slowly.
Whos a chicken? Jason joined us sitting next to Laura.
Jules, Lau replied quickly. Jason gave me a confused look before focusing on his f
ull tray of food. That guy could eat like a pig.
Why? he asked giving his burger a bite.
Well, she is crazy about Evan but she didnt even try kissing him last week. I glare
d at Laura but she ignored me when she heard the voice of her current boyfriend.
Hey, guys, whats up? Jordan greeted us. Jason nodded and I simply smiled at him. Jo
rdan kissed Lau shortly Hey, hottie. Lau giggled. I rolled my eyes.
Hey, handsome. She replied batting her eyelashes at him.
Im going to steal this beauty from you for a sec, Jordan informed us holding her ha
nd. Jason and I simply nodded.
The lovely couple left to do God knows what and I was kind of glad they did beca
use Lau could be really annoying when she got something in mind. She was determi
ned to get me to tell Evan my feelings.
Yeah, like I would be brave enough to do that.
Now, there was just me and Jason. It was then I remembered Jason knew Evan. I s
napped my head towards him. Jasons mouth was full; he stared at me confused like
a deer caught in the headlights.
What? he managed to ask through his full mouth.
First of all, swallow that. I ordered disgusted And second, how come you didnt tell
me you knew Evan? I waited for him to swallow his food and take a sip of his coca
-cola.
I didnt know it was the same Evan. Jason shrugged Small world, huh? I punched his sho
ulder.
Helen is his sister. I whispered.
So?
Youre using my ultimate crush sister as a sex toy? I inquired demandingly.
In my defense, I met her first.
What? I scowled at him.
Helen and I were already screwing before you met Evan. He explained.

Can you just not say that word, please? I pleaded holding the brick of my nose bet
ween my index and my thumb.
What? Screwing?
Oh God!
Oh come on, youre seventeen. You can say bad words, you know.
Jason, focus! I poked his forehead.
Stop hitting me!
Then stop changing the subject I shot back annoyed. Jason sighed.
What do you want me to do?
She and Evan have been through enough. I just hope she doesnt get hurt because of
you.
What would she? Listen, Jason started seriously We both know what were doing. Its not
like I lied to her to get her on my bed. She knows how this works.
Im sorry but I dont believe in that Friends with benefits thing. I mean, havent you wa
tched the movie? Havent you read the statistics? One of you is going to get attac
hed and most of times; its the girl who gets attached.
Since when do you read statistics?
Since I got sick and spent a week doing nothing in my house but thats not the poin
t. I lied shamelessly. Truth was, I actually did some research about the Friend w
ith benefits thing since that day we watched the movie. I had the hope that coul
d work with Evan. Yeah, I know thats lame but hey it was not easy to control this
urge I had to kiss him.
Jules, I Jason trailed off running his fingers through his hair Shes cool with this.
I know she is.
Really? I narrowed my eyes at him. Jason looked away nervously What are you hiding
from me?
Nothing. He scratched his ear.
Youre omitting something.
Im not.
Yes, you just scratched your ear. You do that when you lie. I accused him.
Arg! Jason growled Sometimes, I hate you for knowing me so much.
So? What is it? he hesitated for a moment Come on, spit it out.
Well, its probably nothing
Spit it out, Jason.
The other day we were doing it in my car and-

Oh my God! Seriously? Your car? Im so not getting in that car again. Jason gave me
a killer look Sorry, sorry, continue.
I was on top, it felt so good-
Ok, you can skip the details. I scrunched my nose in disgust.
The thing is, I looked down at her and we locked gazes for a moment. I felt somet
hing, Im not sure. There was something in her eyes that caught me and somehow tha
t made everything more intense. I couldnt help grinning at him.
Youre sooooo falling for her. I teased excited.
What? No! Im not looking for anything serious right now and you know it.
Alright, just answer me this, I couldnt remove the big grin from my face as I spoke
are you seeing someone else?
No,
So youre exclusive?
I guess so.
Is she seeing someone else? I asked watching his reaction. He pressed his lips tog
ether as his jaw clenched. Oh boy, he was so into that girl.
I dont know, he replied shrugging his shoulders I dont care.
Liar. I chuckled. I was happy to know he cared for her. I mean, Jason was a good b
oy. Even though, he had his players moments a few times, he didnt lie to the girls
. He let them know how things were going to be from the beginning. I think that
was pretty fair, the girls knew what they were getting themselves into. He didnt
act like he wanted something serious to get them on his bed. That was Shanes modu
s operandi. I was sure hed lied to Melissa; heck he even lied to me to get me to
help him with her. He broke hearts easily without looking back.
Thinking of the devil
Shane Mason, better known as the Antichips or Jerkpid, made his way through the
cafeteria. He walked like he owned the place and everyone in it. He was wearing
blue jeans and a dark sweater with a blue t-shirt underneath, it made his skin l
ook paler than usual. Every girl in the room-including me- was staring at him. M
ost of the girls gazed at him dreamily whilst others were glaring at him. He pro
bably broke their hearts. I prayed to God for him not to see me. He stopped in f
ront of a table filled with guys. I looked back at my food and started eating.
Thank you, God.
Jones, Shanes voice sounded right behind me.
I celebrated too soon.
I felt his hands on my shoulder; he squeezed them gently You came back.
No, Im a hologram. I replied sarcastically. Jason snickered. Shane let go of my sho
ulders and sat next to me.
Sarcasm doesnt suit you, Jones. I looked at him and instantly regretted it. We were
way too close for my liking. Besides, Shane was looking hot today. I swallowed

hard and he smirked knowingly. He could be a heartless jerk but he sure knew how
hot he was Close your mouth, babe. No need to drool in public, I glared at him an
d straightened in my seat to look at Jason, but I only found an empty seat.
Wheres Jason? I asked frowning.
He left when you started drooling over me,
I wasnt-Ah, never mind. I took a sip of my strawberrys juice. It was then I remember
ed Shane knew about wattpad and Evan How do you know about wattpad? I glanced at h
im from the corner of my eye, Shane tensed up.
What are you talking about?
Last week, when you asked me about Evan you said Thats the guy from wattpad, isnt he
? I fully looked at him this time. Shane shifted on his seat.
Hum, I said that? I nodded Well, lets just say Laura is not good keeping secrets whe
n shes with Jordan. My jaw almost dropped to the floor.
She told you? I asked shocked.
Yeah, Shane mumbled and got off the chair I gotta go now. See you around. Ok, that w
as just weird. I was left alone just like that. Id always thought it was kind of
depressing to eat alone, it seemed like my friends didnt think the same way.
Way to go, guys!

**
After eating more like devouring- my food, I stared at my glass of Strawberrys jui
ce.
Mrs. Strawberry
Evan
The only thought of him made my stomach flutter. I couldnt stop thinking about hi
m. Everything reminded me of him, even the glass of strawberry juice I had in fr
ont of me. How could something so simple remind me of him? My phone buzzed in my
pocket snapping me out of my thoughts. I quickly checked it. It was a text from
Evan. Yeah, I finally got his number. I touched my phones screen to open the tex
t.
From: Evan <3
Guess what?
Me: What?
Him: Im eating Ruffles ;)
Me: -.-! So you decided to rub it on my face?
Him: Of course.
Me: Thats so sweet of you (Sarcasm!)

Him: I dont know why you like them so much though. Theyre not that good.
Oh, he did not just say that! I glared at my phones screen.
Me: You dont wanna go there.
Him: You dont scare me, little peach.
Me: Again with the nicknames?
Him: Yeah ;)
Me: Im gonna find a nickname for you and it wont be nice.
Him: Right, Im so scared.
I narrowed my eyes at the screen, I was about to reply when the bell rang. I tol
d him I would text him later before running out of the cafeteria. I couldnt be la
te to my next class.
**
By the end of the day, I was dragging myself out of school. I wasnt sick anymore
but I was still kind of weak. Mom said that was normal, that sensation would la
st for a few days. I hated being sick. At least, my mother was a doctor and I di
dnt have to go to the hospital. I hated hospitals, they gave me the chills since
the day I watched a marathon of horror Japanese movies. They all took place in s
ome gloomy, creepy hospital. I shivered remembering them.
Yawning, I started to cross the football field to get to the parking lot. I real
ly hoped Laura hadnt forgotten about me. She was my ride today. I felt a few eyes
on me, the football team was practicing. I tried to ignore the stares. I knew I
wasnt really good-looking, especially today. I was wearing worn pants and a loos
e purple t-shirt that said Bite me on the front. My hair was in a lazy bun and I d
idnt put any make-up whatsoever that morning. Conclusion: I probably looked terri
ble.
My phone buzzed in my hand and I opened the text quickly.
From: Evan <3
Nice t-shirt ;)
I frowned and stopped on my tracks. I lifted my gaze to scan my surroundings. My
heart started hammering inside my chest. He couldnt have seen me, could he? As i
n reply, my eyes caught some movement on the way ahead of me. There he stood
Evan
He was leaning against a black car. My breath was caught inside my lungs. My sto
mach did a black flip. I wasnt expecting to see him so soon. I wasnt mentally prep
ared to see him. God, he looked so hot. He was wearing dark pants, a grey hoodie
with a dark t-shirt underneath. His midnight-black hair was messy in a sexy way
. His full lips formed a sexy smirk. We were still a few meters away. I found th
e strength to start walking again. My hands were getting sweaty as I approached
to him. I swallowed feeling my dry throat. How could he make feel so much by jus
t standing in front of me?
Hey, what are you do-doing here? I stuttered nervously. He shoved his hands inside
his hoodies pockets.

Im waiting for Helen, he replied casually.

Oh, I looked down at the pavement playing with my fingers.
Breathe!
Jules? his sexy voice sent a shiver through my spine. I looked up to meet his pene
trating deep dark eyes. They seemed to pull me towards him.
Yeah?
Are you okay? You look a little pale, his eyes were scrutinizing me.
I just want to kiss you like theres no tomorrow, thats all.
Im fine. I said instead. Evan narrowed his eyes slightly.
You sure? I simply nodded.
So, I started clapping my hands trying to act casual Ive never seen you before here,
I dont come here very often. I only come when Helen doesnt have a ride. He explained
I guess Im her last option. I chuckled.
Thats nice of you to come all the way here to give her a ride home. I stated honest
ly.
You think Im nice now? he cocked an eyebrow playfully.
Maybe,
Maybe? he asked taking a step towards me.
Yeah, I teased grinning at him. He smiled, his cute dimples forming on his cheeks.
He looked so cute when he smiled.
What about you? Do you have a ride home?
Hum, I held my chin as if I was deep in thought when I was actually scanning the p
arking lot Laura is my ride but I dont see her around.
She left a few minutes ago, Evan said coolly.
What? Really? You saw her? Evan nodded. I growled in frustration, how could she fo
rget about me?
I can give you a ride home, Evan offered I mean, if you want to.
Are you sure? I asked not knowing if Helen would be cool with this.
Of course. A cool breeze brushed past us, making a lock of my hair to get loose fr
om the bun. Evan extended his hand towards me and tuck the rebel hair behind my
ear. I stopped breathing when his fingertips made contact with my skin. His eyes
never left mine. He cupped my cheek and I fought the urge to close my eyes. The
n, his thumb caressed my lower lip slowly. I parted my lips in anticipation.
What was he doing?

Evan! A sharp voice shouted snapping me out of the moment. Evan took a step backwa
rds, retracting his hand Didnt you get my text? a very cheerful Helen asked Evan as
she came towards us.
What text? Evan frowned at her.
I texted you telling you I didnt need a ride. Jason is going to take me home. It wa
s then she noticed me Hey, youre Jules, right?
Yep, thats me. I smiled at her.
Its good to meet you. Jason has told me a lot about you. I sensed a bit of jealousy
in her tone but ignored it.
Yeah, he told me a lot about you, too.
Including how good it was last time you two did it in his car.
I was so not going to say that. Helen stared at me for a moment, her eyes scanni
ng my body and then going up to my face. Her shoulders relaxed and she smirked.
She probably didnt feel threatened by me anymore. I mean, I looked pretty bad rig
ht now. I wouldnt consider myself a threaten.
Well, I have to go. Hes waiting for me. She said squeezing Evans shoulder Sorry, bro.
I didnt mean to make you come for nothing.
Its cool. Evan replied. Helen glanced at me and gave me a closed mouth smile.
It was nice to meet you, Jules. She said before walking off. I could tell she wasnt
really a fan of me already. And to think, she actually got laid using my condom
s.
Ungrateful girl!
You ready? Evans voice caught my attention. It was then I came back to reality.
Evan was going to take home
Alone
We were going to be alone in his car.
Oh boy, I was going to need all my self-control to survive this chaotic ride hom
e.
Because hell, my urge to kiss that mysterious sexy boy was growing bigger each p
assing second.
Yep, Im ready. I said smiling at him.
Tempting ride, here we go.

My Wattpad Love

Chapter 22

Okay, this was a lot of harder than I thought.

As soon as I got inside Evan s car and closed the door, I could feel the tension
forming in the air. It was so thick I fought the urge to jump out of the car an
d ran away like a crazy person. I watched him get in the car as well. He put his
seatbelt on and flashed me a smile.

God, stop smiling, you cute boy! Its not helping!

Evan started the engine; the car roared to life.

"You ready?" He asked, giving me a quick glance. I loved his eyes. They were so
deep.
"Yeah," I replied nervously. Evan grinned at me and leaned closer. I stopped bre
athing as I watched his beautiful face getting closer to mine. His dark gaze dro
pped to my lips.
Was he going to kiss me?
He passed an arm around my waist; by this moment we were so close his breath was
fanning my lips. I swallowed.
"Jules..." His sexy voice trailed off, sending a shiver through me.
"Ye-yes?" I stuttered feeling lost in the depth of his eyes.
"Never forget your seatbelt."

I frowned and then I heard a click sound. Evan leaned backwards and straightened
in his seat.
It took me five seconds to understand what he d done. I looked down to see my se
atbelt and understood everything. When I looked back up at him, he was smirking
victoriously at me.
"Now you re ready," he said amused as he started driving off the parking lot. I
glared at his profile. He seemed to enjoy messing with me. I knew he knew I like
d him, so what was the point of teasing me like that? That was just mean.

You look cute when you blush, he whispered, his eyes focused on the road ahead us.

Im not blushing, I affirmed even when I could feel my flaming cheeks.

Yeah right.

I narrowed my eyes at him. I opened my mouth to say something but shut it when m
y eyes landed on the tattoo on his neck. I could see it pretty clearly now. I co
uldnt help feeling curious about it. Id never been a fan of tattoos but that was a
really good one, it looked so professional and well-done. Besides, it suited Ev
an and his mysterious attitude.

Where did you get that? I asked, my eyes glued to the dark lines of his tattooed n
eck.

What? He glanced at me from the corner of his eye.

The tattoo.

Evans smile vanished; he hesitated for a moment. I got it in a friends tattoo shop.

Why? The question left my lips before I could stop it. I mean, there must be a reas
on behind it.

Not really, he replied a little bit too quickly. I was young and stupid. Besides, I
was drunk.

That doesnt look like a drunken tattoo. I stated honestly.

Then what does look like, Jules? His tone became slightly cold. I was taken aback
by his sudden change of mood. He gripped the steering wheel with ferocity. Alrig
ht, maybe I shouldnt have asked anything.

Im sorry, I didnt mean to I trailed off unsure of what to say.

Evan let out a long sigh. Its cool, he stated relaxing his shoulders. I didnt need t
o be smart to know there was a big reason behind that tattoo. Evan was definitel
y lying when he said it was just a drunken thing. Silence reigned in the car, ma
king the already crushing tension between us even thicker. I rubbed my sweaty pa
lms on my jeans awkwardly and stared through the window.

So, Evan broke the silence and I mentally thanked him for it, tell me more about yo
ur cheesy story.

I scowled at him.

Really? I thought you didnt read it, I folded my arms across my chest.

It entertains me, he admitted, rolling his full lower lip into his mouth. I gawked
at him, I wanted to taste those red lips so badly.
Jules? his voice snapped me out of my inappropriate thoughts.

Huh? I closed my mouth and looked away.

I asked you a question.

You did? I could feel the blood pumping up to my cheeks again. Sorry, what was it? I
kept my eyes glued to the road.

Does she ever tell him the way she feels?

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. Who?

Rose.

Oh, youre talking about my story, I laughed nervously feeling like an idiot. Evan s
topped at a red light and turned half of his body towards me. His dark eyes met
my blue ones and I backed away a little in my seat.

So, does she tell him or not? He sounded pretty curious about it. I swallowed. Its p
retty obvious shes dying to say something. My heart was hammering inside my chest,
my throat felt dry. Why did I feel like he wasnt talking about my story but me?

I cant tell you that. You must read to find out.

Wow, that was a clever answer. I high-fived myself. Mentally, of course.

Come on, were friends, arent we?

Unfortunately, we are.

I cant tell you. I tried to keep a strong pose. Evan leaned closer to me.

Is there any way I can persuade you? he asked hoarsely. I shook my head because I
could no longer utter a word. Are you sure? His warm hand cupped my cheek. I close
d my eyes for a moment enjoying his touch.

Hes playing with you!

My inner voice snapped me out of my trance. I slapped his hand away and looked r
ight into his eyes defiantly.

I wont tell you. Period, I said feeling proud of myself. Why are you so eager to kno
w anyway?

Im just curious, he shrugged his shoulders. I want to know how long itll take her to
throw herself at him.

She wo- I covered my mouth. Evan chuckled.

What was that?

Nothing, I looked away.

She wont what?

Im not going to tell you a thing, mister. I could feel his eyes on me. It was makin
g me uneasy. And stop staring at me,

Then tell me.

Nope.

I wont move then, he stated obstinately. I watched how the red light became green;
immediately we heard the horns behind us. I looked at the stubborn driver. He wa
s still gazing at my direction fully.

You need to move.

No.

Evan

Juleshe teased, grinning like a cat.

Move, I ordered, emphasizing the O.

Tell me or well get beaten up by a bunch of angry drivers. Its up to you, he said as
careless as the wind.

Are you blackmailing me? I held my chest dramatically.

Maybe, is it working? I glared at him. The street had quickly become noisy, filled
with all the honking cars behind us. I looked at the rear-view mirror and watch
ed a huge man coming out of his car, heading towards us.

Oh no

Fine! Move! I exclaimed panicking.

You mean youre going to tell me?

Yes! Move! Now! The big man was coming closer.

Promise it,

I promise! I shouted scared. Evan drove off leaving the Hulk behind.

Jesus Christ, that was close.

Im waiting, Evan chanted softly. I gave him a killer look.

You do realize we were this close, I made a gesture with my index and thumb, to bei
ng brutally murdered by Hulk. Evan laughed loudly. God, even his laugh was sexy.

What am I thinking? I should be mad at him!

You are so dramatic, he spoke, shaking his head.

Am not!

Sure, Mrs. Strawberry.

My heart skipped a beat. It felt so weird to hear him call me that. It created s
ort of an intimate connection between us.

Im waiting, he reminded me.

I refuse to say anything.

You promised you would tell me, Jules. I fought the shiver going up my spine when
he said my name.

No.

Youre going to break your promise? There are more semaphores on the way; you would
nt want us to stop again, would you?

You are evil. I accused him. We stayed in silence for a few minutes. I knew he was
waiting for me to tell him about my story. Sighing in defeat, I looked through
the window as I spoke.

Shell tell him eventually, I said watching the trees rush by. It was then I realize
d how much alike the main character of my story and I were. Its not easy for her.
She doesnt want to lose him. I felt like I was talking about me and not a fictiona
l character. Evan pulled over in front of my house. I felt his eyes on me so I l
ooked at him. His eyes were glowing with something I couldnt decipher.

She shouldnt tell him anything, he commented. My heart sank in my chest. Was it me
or were we not talking about my story anymore?

Why? I inquired. Evans lips twitched up, forming his sexy smirk.

She should just man up and kiss him.

My eyes widened at his words. I couldnt help blushing; I bit my lower whilst my e
yes were switching from his eyes to his lips. I dont know for how long we remaine
d in the same position.

Kiss him! Stop being a chicken!

My inner voice was yelling at me but I couldnt seem to find the strength to do an
ything. I was actually kind of frozen in my seat. My mind was processing his wor
ds, not knowing for sure if he was telling me to kiss him in a very discrete, in
direct way. Evan chuckled and got out of the car. Then he opened my door and off
ered his hand to me snapping my out of my frozen state.

This is your stop, cheesy writer, he said jokingly. I took his hand, ignoring the
tingles that ran up my arm.

Thank you, dark poet. I stepped out of the car, a cold breeze brushed past me maki
ng me shiver. The sky was kind of orange; sunset was here. Evan walked me to the
porch in silence. Once we reached the door, we turned to face each other. I fel
t kind of small in front of him; he was at least a head taller than me. Thanks fo
r the ride home, I smiled up at him. Evan shoved his hands inside his hoodies pock
ets.

No problem.

I wanted to say so many things, I wanted to tell him how much I liked him, how m
uch I wanted him to kiss me right now but I stood there staring at his handsome
face instead. Sadness took over me when I realized this was all I could get from
him. It hurt me to know this friendship would never turn into something else. B
eing his friend would never be enough for me, I was only prolonging my torture.
I would never see him as a friend. Tears formed in my eyes when I realized when
I had to do.

I had to let him go

It would be painful but I knew the heartbreak wouldnt last forever. Having him as
a friend, so close yet so far would definitely cause more pain and frustration
than letting him go for good.

Jules? His sexy voice brought me back to reality.

Yeah? I swallowed a lump in my throat.

Is there something wrong? he asked, concern plastered on his face.

Yeah, Im crazy about you so thats why Im going to do this.

Yep, Im good. See you around. I got inside the house quickly, and closed
ehind me. I wasnt brave enough to tell him a thing on his face. So, I took
ne out of my pocket and typed a quick text whilst hearing his cars engine.
ed to the living room and dropped myself on one of the couches as I pressed
send option:

the

Sorry, thought I could do this but I cant be your friend.

Sending that message was like stabbing myself. My heart was shrinking in my ches
t. No more funny nicknames or poems, no more waking up to his nice messages, no
more dragons fluttering in my stomach each time I talked to him.

No more Evan

His cute smile displayed inside my head as the memory of his sexy voice filled m
y ears. My phone buzzed in my hands.

Evans reply came a lot of faster than I expected.

Evan: What are you talking about? :/

Me: I cant be your friend, Im sorry. Ill be out of your life for good.
Evan: Youre joking, right?
Me: No.

A tear rolled down my cheek. I needed to be strong now that I finally had the co
urage to let him go.

Evan: What did I do wrong?

Me: Nothing, I just cant be your friend. Please, stop texting me.

I begged, knowing it would be harder to do this if he kept talking to me. He did

nt reply causing more tears to fill my eyes. He was going to respect my decision,
wasnt he? I got on my feet and paced around my living room trying to ease my ach
ing heart. I ran my fingers through my hair with my shaking hand.

The front door was swung open and I snapped my head towards it. There he stood

Evan

He was holding his phone in one hand and the doorknob in the other.

What are you doing here? I asked wiping my tears away. Seeing him again was like a
dding fuel to the fire in my chest. Evan walked towards me with long strides.

I want you to say it to my face, his black eyes were darker than usual. Tell me you
dont want to see me anymore.

I looked away from his intense gaze. Please, dont make this any harder for me.

What are you talking about, Jules? Look at me. He held my chin forcing to meet his
gaze Why cant we be friends?

Just I trailed off sadly Just go, I backed away from him. Evan grabbed my arm pulling
me towards him.

I wont go until you tell me the reason why we cant be friends. He sounded upset.

Let me go! I struggled to release myself, his touch made me feel so warm inside.

Tell me.

No.

Tell me. He leaned closer to me.

I had nothing left to lose, did I?

His face was mere inches from mine. I shouldnt tell you anything, I whispered, reme
mbering his words, Evans heavy breath was brushing my mouth teasingly. I should ju
st man up and kiss you.

I got on my tiptoes, and pressed my lips against his. A shot of electricity cro
ssed my body. His lips were so soft. I leaned back to see his reaction; I ached
for more of his lips but I needed to know if he wanted it to. Evan seemed surpri
sed but then he grabbed a fist of my hair and kissed me passionately. Id never be
en kissed like this before, there was so much need and passion in the way he mov
ed his mouth on mine that I felt weak in the knees. It was like he couldnt get en
ough of me. The kiss was becoming more and more urgent; I could feel my blood ru
nning hot through my veins. He wrapped his free arm around my waist pulling me c
loser, our bodies pressing together. He slid his tongue inside my mouth and I co
uld feel my entire body getting hot. I wanted more, so much more. He sucked on m
y lower lip, gaining a soft moan from me. Evan broke the kiss and took a step ba
ckwards. We were both breathing heavily. Our lips were red and swollen.

That was the best kiss Id ever had.

Ithis is Evan was lost for words. I have to go. He turned on his feet and walked away.
I was left there in pure shock. My entire body was throbbing, my lips were tingl
ing.
I wanted more so much more of Evan.

My Wattpad Love
Chapter 23
I didn t move. I didn t breathe. I didn t do anything not even when the house ph
one started ringing, not even when my phone buzzed in my hand.
Evan kissed me...
Well technically, Id kissed him first, but then he kissed me, and for the raw pas
sion he showed throughout the kiss he definitely enjoyed it. I stared at my open
ed front door in silence. I could see my front garden; the vanishing sunlight wa
s brushing the dead flowers softly. I smiled like fool, a wave of happiness and
relief washing over me.
Happiness because Id just had the best kiss of my entire life and relief because
Evan didn t reject me, which was my worst fear. I brought a hand to my mouth and
I swear I could still feel his soft lips against mine. I never thought a kiss c
ould me make feel so many things. I had been kissed before but never felt this w
ay about it. Actually, my past attempts of dates never really went for the whole
French kiss thing. Evan, on the other hand... well, the guy was an expert on th
e French kiss area; if he hadn t broken the kiss I could have easily spent the r
est of my life with my face glued to his. However, I doubted that could happen s
ince Evan was nowhere to be seen. Realization came down on me like a bucket fill
ed with ice-cubes.
Evan left.
He d gone.
He walked away.
I d never been so confused about my emotions. I was happy a second ago but sudde
nly now sadness was taking over me even though a part of me was still squealing
excitedly about the kiss.
Such a bittersweet moment...
The wind slammed my door closed in a very violent move making me jump awake. I d
been in some sort of trance.
The house phone was ringing. I snapped my head towards it.
What if it was Evan? Was he calling me to apologize for leaving like that? That
didn t sound like something he would do, but I still hoped that was what he was
going to do.
Grasping some courage, I answered the phone.
"Ugh, hello?" I had a hard time finding my voice.
"Jules!" My mother s voice exclaimed into my ear. Relief and disappointment fill
ed me. God, I really needed to stop these contradictory emotions in me.
"Hi, Mom."
"Where were you? I ve been calling for a while now." Her tone was demanding. Fee
ling like a thief caught in the act, I swallowed a lump in throat.
"I was..."

Making out with my ultimate crush in our living room.

Yeah, like I would say that. I needed to come up with a lie, which knowing me wo
uldn t turn out any good.
"I was..." I trailed off again.
Don t say anything stupid! Don t say anything stupid!
"I was... Eating?" I finished uncertainly.
Phew! That wasn t so bad.
"Eating?" Mom repeated incredulously. "Eating what?"
"Nuts," I said stupidly.
And you ruined it, idiot!
"You don t like nuts," my mother reminded me "What s going on, Julie? Is everyth
ing alright?"
"Everything is absolutely, definitely, perfectly fine," I replied in a rush.
Oh verbal diarrhea! Thank you, brain.
"Did you just use three adverbs in one sentence?" Mom seemed to be getting more
and more suspicious.
"Yeah, I... It s an exercise... My English homework actually. You know adverbs,
verbs, adjectives, kiss." I quickly snapped my mouth shut.
"Kiss? Julia Ann Jones, what the hell is going on?"
"He, I... There was a kiss in a book we re reading in class so yeah," I explaine
d, laughing nervously.
I suck at lying! My God!
"I m going home," Mom informed, sounding angry.
"No, Mom, I swear everything is fine!"
"Sweetie, I m your mother. I know you, not to mention you are a terrible liar. Y
ou got that from your father." There was a silence. It was the first time that M
om had mentioned him in a while. She seemed to realize that too because she didn
t say anything else.
"You don t need to come home. You have patients to take care of, and I m fine, M
om. Trust me."
"Just promise me you ll explain everything to me tomorrow, alright?" She didn t
sound angry anymore. She sounded worried.
"I promise," I stated in a defeated tone. There was no point in continuing this
futile attempt to lie.
"Alright, I ll check on you every two hours. Lock the doors and-"
"All the windows," I finished for her. I was used to being alone in my house. Mo

m s job forced me to get used to it. Somehow, that made me more independent and
mature in some aspects. Mom hung up after making some comments about behaving an
d being a responsible daughter. I couldn t blame her, she knew I d been lying an
d she still let it pass... until tomorrow, that is. I shuddered thinking of her
interrogatory.
I let myself fall on the armrest of the couch and blew a strand of hair out of m
y face.
What a long day! I looked down at my phone where a few mails from Wattpad were w
aiting, but none of them said anything about dark_poet001.
Should I text him? But what was I going to say?
Hey, I was wondering why you ran away after we shared that awesome mind-blowing
kiss.
Nah, that was not happening. Id run out of bravery for the day. I needed to talk
to someone. Needing a friend, I scrolled down my mobile messenger contacts. I kn
ew I would find Laura online.
Me: Where are u?
LauIsASexybeast: Jordan s place. Why?
Me: I need to talk to you. Can you come over?
LauIsASexybeast: Something wrong?
Me: No, but I need someone to talk with. It s cool if you can t come though.
LauIsASexyBeast: I m coming. Don t do anything stupid.
Me: Anything stupid?
LauIsASexyBeast: Yeah, like killing yourself or throwing away your awesome purpl
e top.
Me: You re crazy.
LauIsASexyBeast: Haha I ll be there soon.
Me: Ok.
I threw my phone on the couch and got to my feet. I needed a glass of water. The
turmoil of emotions inside me had been overwhelming. I was heading towards the
kitchen when"Mi corazon esta abierto, lo tengo que cerrar, me importas tanto. Eres mi debili
dad." I stopped on my tracks frowning at the song echoing behind me "Mis heridas
me recuerdan, que el pasado es real."
What the hell? Was that my phone? Was that a song... in Spanish? Why on Earth...
Ask questions later! Answer the phone!
Slowly, I went to pick up my phone. I scowled at the ID:
Jason rocks :D
"What the hell, Jason?" I answered, totally confused. "Your ringtone-"
"Is a song in Spanish," he interrupted me and chuckled. "That s a pretty good so
ng."
Okay, so everyone seemed to feel right with changing their ringtone in my phone
without my permission. Great!
"When did you-"

"Jules, listen. Jason cut me off. What did you say to Helen?"
"What are you talking about?" I frowned.
"Well, she didn t give me my dose of sex today." I rolled my eyes at his remark
.
"And what does that have to do with me?"
"Because after getting off my car, she said, and I quote, Go ask Jules for it.
I ll bet she ll be more than happy to please you.
My jaw dropped to the floor. "What?"
"Great, now you re deaf. I won t repeat the whole thing."
"No, I heard you. I just... What would she... I didn t say anything. I met her a
t the parking lot but we barely talked."
"You sure? She seems pretty sure you and I have a passionate hidden best friends
affair."
"Best friends affair, seriously, Jason?" I wanted to slap him through the phone
. He chuckled.
"Can t deny I m creative, huh?"
"You re an idiot."
"You still love me so that makes you idioter than me."
"Idioter? That s not even a word!"
"But it sounds cool, doesn t it?" I face-palmed myself. Maybe the wild sex was k
illing my best friend s brain cells in a slow but steady process "Your Mom is on
duty, right?" He asked, dragging me back to reality.
"Yeah,"
"I m coming over so we can talk better about this,"
"Alright, see you soon." I hung up, feeling confused.
Why would Helen say that? Was she jealous? That was a good sign; it
meant she cared for Jason.
After eating two bags of Ruffles, drinking coca-cola and locking all my windows,
I finally heard a car s engine outside the house. Finally! It took them long en
ough.
"Jules?" I heard Lau s voice and then some knocking on my door.
"Coming!" I shouted, throwing the empty Ruffles bags in the trash can. I opened
the door to see a grinning Laura. God, Jordan was definitely making this girl h
appy.
"Hey, twin. She kissed my cheek and walked inside. We sat down on the big couch i
n Indian style facing each other. "I have something to tell you, too," Lau state
d with a flustered face. "But you go first." I let out a sigh before telling her

the entire story, from the tempting ride to the passionate kiss.
"Oh my God!" Lau squealed excitedly. "You kissed him! I can t believe it! No off
ense, but I never thought you d get the courage to do it!" Lau clapped her hands
. "How was it? Did you like it? How long did it last? Did he use his tongue?"
"Whoa! Slow down, woman!"
"Oh come on! Tell me! I want every juicy detail!"
"It was amazing." I looked at nothing in particular as I spoke. "It was the best
kiss I ve ever had-not that I ve had many- but yeah." I closed my eyes remember
ing the kiss; a smile crept to my lips. "There was so much passion..." I opened
my eyes slowly, but my smile vanished when I remembered he d left. "But then he
left," I added sadly.
"Maybe he was shocked or something," Lau said, holding her chin as if she was de
ep in thought. "You probably caught him off guard. I mean, everyone knows you re
a chicken." I glared at her. "Don t look at me like that. It s true. So, your s
udden act of bravery must ve have shocked him."
"You think so?"
"It s just a possibility. Men are kind of hard to read," Lau confirmed.
"You think we should ask Jason about it?"
"Sure, it ll be good to see this from a man s point of view." Lau shrugged her s
houlders.
We chatted some more about the kiss. Let me tell you something, Lau was a sucker
for details.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" I asked. Lau blushed and looked down. "La
u?"
"Well, I..."
"You...?" I stared at her.
"Jordan and I were
tosecondbase." She
tand her. Key word
understanding her

making out on his couch and he" she paused, "Well, wekindofgot
rushed her words making it almost impossible for me to unders
here: almost. She was my best friend; I was more than used to
rushed sentences.

"You did what?!" I jumped on the couch bewildered. "Wait... Second base is..." I
gestured towards the boob s area. Lau nodded. Oh God! I was the one asking for
every single detail now. Seemed like Lau was not the only sucker for details tod
ay.
We spent the night talking about everything. We prepared some hot chocolate and
decide to watch some thriller film. We were half-way the movie when my phone buz
zed in my pants. I checked it desperately but it was only a text from Jason.
Jason rocks :D
Sorry! Can t come over! Helen changed her mind :D
I rolled my eyes and typed a reply:

Good for you. Have fun.

"Who is it?" Lau asked as she sipped on her chocolate. "Is it him?" I knew she r
eferred to Evan. I shook my head sadly.
"Nope, it s Jason. He s not coming. Apparently, Helen is not angry anymore, I rep
lied.
"Seems like Jay-Jay is getting laid tonight," Lau snickered.
"He hates than nickname, you know," I commented.
"That s the point." Lau grinned at me. Lau and Jason got along in a very weird w
ay. Some days they couldn t stand each other and then there were these days when
they acted like good friends. I guess they just had those types of personalitie
s that collide once in a while. I stared at my phone intently. I was dying to te
xt Evan. Lau had distracted me a lot but he was still present in my mind most of
the time.
"Why don t you text him?" Lau seemed to be reading my mind, not literally of cou
rse, that d be pretty weird.
"I don t know. What am I going to say?"
"Anything, just talk to him," she encouraged.
"He left. He should be the one texting me, he owes me an explanation."
"You know how he acts. Do you
honestly believe he s going to text you?"
"No," I sighed.
"Then you go ahead, don t waste your time waiting for something that will never
happen."
Listening to my best friend, I started typing a text. After hesitating, deleting
words, writing again, deleting and finally writing a final text I sent it:
Hi.
Yeah, don t judge me. I just needed to know if he was going to talk to me before
texting anything more serious. When my phone notified there was a new text from
Evan. I hesitated to read it. My poor heart was beating so fast I thought it wo
uld come out of my throat. I touched the screen to open the text:
From: Evan <3
Hey.
Really? Hey? That was all he could say?
You texted him Hi what were you expecting?
My inner voice snapped at me. I looked up to check on Lau. She seemed to be swal
lowed by the movie because her eyes were focused on the TV and she wasn t even b
linking. I bit my lower lip as I typed a reply to Evan:
We need to talk.

I waited for his reply but it never came so I texted him again,
Are you there?
No reply, it was obvious he was avoiding the talk. Sighing in frustration, I loo
ked at the TV trying to catch up with the movie, checking my phone each two minu
tes.
Evan never replied.
Lau and I watched some other films and then we talked about everything. It d bee
n a while since wed a moment for ourselves, so time flew by as we spoke. Lau was
telling something about her dancing class when my eyes landed on the window next
to my front door. My eyes widened in shock.
"Oh My god!" I exclaimed, jumping out of the couch. I stared at the sunlight str
eaming through the window.
"What?" Lau stood up and frowned at me.
"It s the sun!" I exclaimed freaking out. Lau s frown turned bigger.
"Yeah, what s wrong with it? Are we role playing the vampire movie we watched a
few hours ago?" She asked amusedly. I glared at her.
"Very funny but no," I said, picking up the empty bags of Ruffles, Doritos, choc
olate bars, coca-cola cans and so on. "Mom s duty ends at 6:00 am so that means
she s-" I was interrupted by the sound of an engine outside the house. "Oh shit!
She s here!" I threw everything in the trash can and held Lau s hand to pull he
r upstairs "Run!" I hissed.
When we were lying on my bed hidden under the sheets, Lau took the opportunity t
o make questions.
"What s going on?" She whispered secretively.
"If Mom finds out we stayed up all night, she ll kill us, but not before giving
us the entire sleeping habits speech." Lau made an O with her mouth in realizati
on.
"Did you turn off the TV?" She asked worriedly. I panicked.
"No!"
"Then-" I covered her mouth when I heard footsteps in the hallway.
"Shhh! Pretend to be asleep!" I ordered but as soon as I closed my eyes I didn t
need to pretend anything because I quickly fell in dreamland.
**
Poke
Poke
Poke
I was dragged out of sleep by an incessant poking on my forehead. As my senses w
ere waking up, I started hearing voices around me.
"Leave her alone!" Lau s voice sounded irritated.
"No, she s been sleeping all day." Was that Shane?

"Stop poking her!" The poking stopped.

"We re going to be late because of her!"
"She needs to rest," Lau stated.
I opened my eyes slowly. The first thing I saw were a pair of beautiful hazel ey
es staring at me Shanes eyes. He was too close for my liking so I pushed him away
.
"Sleeping beauty is back," Shane joked, grinning at me. "How was the hibernation
?" I ignored him and sat up.
"What are you doing here?" I mumbled with a sleepy voice.
"We were waiting for you to wake up. It s been a few hours." Shane folded his ar
ms across his chest. I was about to ask him why when my eyes landed on my window
. There was a big full moon on the sky.
"Oh God! The moon!" I cried in shock.
"Yeah, you re going to turn into a werewolf now?" Shane joked. Lau punched his s
houlder.
"Get out," she said, pushing him towards the door.
"Oh God! I did sleep all day! It s night already?" I asked Lau when Shane left u
s alone.
"Yeah, you better hurry."
"Why? And what is Shane doing here?"
"He came with Jordan. We re going to Helen s birthday party,"
"Woah woah, what? I m not going!" Lau grinned at me.
"Evan s probably going to be there," she urged, wiggling her eyebrows.
"We are so going!" I said, running towards the bathroom.
***
As soon as we parked in front of Helen s house, I grew nervous and insecure. Thi
s didn t seem like a good idea anymore. I mean, Helen didn t really like me so s
howing up at her birthday party wasn t the brightest idea.
Oh Evan... The things I do for you... I thought sadly. I got off the car and f
ollowed Laura. For the first time in a while, I could say I looked good. I was w
earing a blue dress that matched my eyes. Laura had straightened my hair making
it curly at the ends. She also did my make-up. That girl could do miracles. Shan
e and Jordan joined us at the front door.
After getting inside the house, I was growing more and more nervous. There were
people everywhere. The music was really loud. How was I supposed to find Evan in
this mess? It was like looking for my missing pencil in my room, a total lost c
ause, I never found it by the way. Jordan and Lau informed me that they were goi
ng to look for some drinks, so I was left alone with Jerkpid. I turned around to
ask him something but found an empty space.

Of course he would leave me alone here. Smooth, Shane, real smooth. I scanned th
e crowd warily. Some people were dancing, others were drinking but most of them
were doing both things.
Reaching the living room, I rested my side against the wall. I was starting to r
egret coming here. However, that feeling went away as soon as my eyes landed on
him...
Evan...
My stomach did a major back flip. He was sitting on the armrest of the couch, dr
essed in all black as usual. I was frozen in my spot. He seemed to be talking to
someone. I looked at the person standing in front of him and my mouth hung open
ed.
Melissa...
Melissa was talking to him, smiling and punching his shoulder playfully. They se
emed to be very comfortable around each other. Were they friends? Evan was smili
ng at her and I felt a shot of jealousy crossing me. So this is what he was doin
g while I was dying in my house waiting for his reply to my text. He looked care
less. There was no sign of apprehension on his face. I crossed my fingers for Me
lissa to go away. It seemed to work because she whispered something in his ear a
nd disappeared in the hallway.
You can do this.
I squeezed my sweaty hands and tried to ease my pumping heart. I crept over to h
im. He hadn t seen me since he was looking to the opposite side of the room. I t
ouched his shoulder getting his attention. His deep-black eyes met my blue ones
and I felt like they were piercing through my soul. He looked surprised, and his
smile instantly vanished.
"Hey," I greeted shyly.
"Hey," he greeted in the same tone. I barely caught his words through the loud m
usic.
I leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear, "Can I talk to you for a sec?"
I leaned back not before sensing his fragrant cologne. He smelled so good. Evan
nodded and stood up. He led me through the crowd until we crossed some Victorian
doors and entered the lonely peaceful garden. He stopped walking, not even look
ing at me.
"What?" He asked coldly, shoving his hands inside his pockets.
I bit my lower lip. "Why are you ignoring my texts?" I asked straightforwardly.
"What are you doing here?" He ignored my question.
"I came to see you." There was no need to lie. "We need to talk."
"No, we don t," he retorted harshly.
"Could you at least look at me?" I demanded, growing upset. Reluctantly, Evan tu
rned to me.
"What do you want from me?" he sighed.
"I want answers, Evan. You can t expect me to act as if nothing happened."

"Nothing happened." His words hurt.

"You regret kissing me, don t you?" I confirmed. I was on the verge of tears. Ev
an s cold expression broke for a moment and I thought he would kiss me and make
me forget everything.
"Yes," he answered, averting his gaze."It was a mistake." I swear I could hear m
y heart shattering into a millions pieces.
"Oh." I took a step backwards. Two thick tears escaped my eyes. I wiped them awa
y quickly, and Evans expression softened when we locked eyes.
"Don t cry," he whispered, trying to reach me. I took another step backwards.
"Don t touch me!" I yelled at him angrily. He seemed surprised by my outburst. "
You are a jerk! You played with my feelings so carelessly!" My voice broke.
"Jules, I-"
"Don t! I ve tried over and over again to get you to open up to me. I tried to h
elp you even when all you ve done is to push me away. I..."
"Jules, Its-"
"I ve been so stupid," I stammered. Tears rolled down my cheeks freely. "I ve be
en such idiot for thinking you actually cared for me." I wiped my tears away ang
rily. "Why would you? I m just some girl you met on the internet." My sight was
blurred with surfacing tears. Evan tried to reach for me again but I slapped his
hand.
"I never meant to hurt you," he assured.
"But you did," I said sadly. "Don t worry. I ll be okay. I will please you, Evan
. I will leave you alone. I m so done here." I turned on my feet and started run
ning away.
"Jules! Wait!" I heard him scream from behind me, but I ignored him. Tears flew
from my face with the wind as I ran out of that house.
I ve been so stupid.
God, this hurt so much. I ran down the sidewalk until I couldn t breathe and had
to stop. I was sobbing uncontrollably, and I was sure my mascara and eyeliner w
ere rolling down with my tears, turning them into a darker shade, but I didn t c
are. My chest felt so empty; it was the most painful sensation I d ever felt in
my entire life.
Heartbreak...
So this was what it felt like to be heartbroken. Let me tell you, it s really de
vastating.
When I thought things couldn t get any worse, it started to drizzle. Oh Great! N
ow I was going to freeze to death. The drizzle turned into heavy rain getting me
damp in a matter of seconds. I reached the town s square and sat down on one of
the banks.
What was wrong with me? How did I end up feeling this strong towards a person I
met on the internet? Is it possible to fall for someone over written words? I wa
s proof that it actually was. Id just felt this strong connection between Evan an

d me since the day we d started talking. I just felt as if we complemented each

other. I rubbed my wet face, shivering slightly. I caught some movement from the
corner of my eye and snapped my head towards that direction. My heart skipped a
beat.
Evan was standing there a few meters from me completely damp. His wet hair was s
ticking to his forehead and ears. His chest was moving up and down as if he was
breathing heavily. I got on my feet surprised.
What was he doing here?
He walked to me slowly, our gazes locked. Rain was dripping from his nose and ch
in. When he was standing right in front of me, his hands held my face.
"I m so sorry," he whispered, resting his forehead on mine. I didn t know what t
o say. I had to tilt my head back to look right into his eyes since he was talle
r than me. Rain was falling on us relentlessly but I didn t care. Words were unn
ecessary, I could see everything in his eyes; they were filled with so much regr
et and need. I cupped his wet cheek and he closed his eyes pressing his face aga
inst my hand.
Then, he leaned closer and pressed his wet lips against mine gently. Volts of el
ectricity ran through my entire body. The sensation was so good that I felt my k
nees go weak. He started moving his lips on mine slowly as if he wanted to savor
me. I eagerly kissed him back with all I had. Below us, my feet felt like they
were slowly liquefying in my shoes. Evan gripped my face tightly as he deepened
the kiss, sliding his tongue inside my mouth. He tasted so good, and it felt so
right to kiss him. His long fingers tangled through my hair and the kiss turned
into a passionate one in a matter of seconds. It seemed like we couldn t get eno
ugh from each other. Evan s hands left my face and went down my arms until he fi
nally wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him. Our bodies were
pressed together, so that I could feel the warmth radiate from his skin beneath
his clothes. The sweet smell of his cologne caught my nose, and I lost myself in
his aromatic scent. Our breaths were becoming heavy as the kiss became more and
more intense. Evan bit my lower lip softly, stealing a soft sigh from me. He de
finitely knew what he was doing.
And there, under the rain, I realized I was kissing Evan like there was no tomor
row. Hell, I was kissing him like we were going to die right after that kiss.
There was no point in denying facts. I was not only crazy about him.
But I was falling for him, falling hard.

My Wattpad Love
Chapter 24

I was lost in Evans addicting lips. If Id know kissing him would be this good, I w
ouldve have done it before. Our breaths were heavy as if wed just run a marathon.
I got on my tiptoes to wrap my long arms around his neck, and I could feel the r
apid fall and rise of his chest against mine. Cold rain was dousing us from head
to toe but I actually felt warm in his arms. I wanted to stay like this forever
. I didnt want anything to ruin this perfect moment. Unfortunately for me, we wer
e humans and we needed to breathe.

I was feeling light-headed already.

Reluctantly, I pulled away from him to take a deep breath in. I didnt open my eye
s, but pressed my forehead against his. My heart was pumping blood fast through
my veins, making me feel invigorated. My entire body was throbbing, not to menti
on the rebel dragons fluttering in my stomach. Evans ragged breath was fanning my
lips.

I cant, he murmured, so low that Id barely heard him through the heavy rain.

What? I opened my eyes slowly.

His expression was blank, and there was no trace of the regret and need Id seen

on his face before the kiss. He grabbed my wrists to remove my hands from his ne
ck and took a step backwards, breaking all contact between us. Instantly, my bod
y felt cold without his touch. I stared at him confused.

He ran his fingers through his wet hair and rolled his lower lip into his mouth
before speaking, Im sorry. Pure regret flooded from his mouth.

W-What? I spluttered, confused. I tried to reach him but he stepped backwards. My

chest tightened. Evan? It was then I noticed his tensed shoulders and defensive po
se. There was something wrong here.

Ah, shit! he exclaimed, turning around holding his head.

Evan, whats wrong? I asked bewildered. I thought everything was more than fine, I t
hought that kiss was a good sign that he would finally open up to me. Apparently
, I thought wrong. Evan turned to me once again, determination plastered on his
face.

I cant do this, he said coldly. And I wont.

I felt pain at the tip of my stomach.

What are you talking about? I was afraid of the answer to that question.

Evan averted his gaze. I dont want to see you again, he said harshly. Was I hearing
him right? Tears formed in my eyes, blurring my sight.

What? How can you say that after kissing me like that? I was beyond hurt. Is this s
ome sort of game for you? My voice broke and I faltered near the end.

Evans lips pressed together in a tight line. I told you I could only offer you my
friendship, he retorted.

Friendship? I mimicked, dazed and shocked. I hoped Evan couldnt see my tears in the
rain. Not someone like him. You kissed me just a few minutes ago. We both know t
his is more than a friendship, Evan. Friends dont kiss each other like that.

He didnt say anything.

Sadness washed over me strong sadness, like a tsunami. This was what it felt lik
e to get your heart broken. It was painful to have an amazing moment with him an
d then hear him say he didnt want to see me anymore. It was like falling off a hi
gh cloud to crash into a cold hard surface.

Why did you come here? Why did you kiss me? I demanded, indignation swirling in th
e pit of my stomach.
I did it on the spur of the moment, Im sorry for leading you on like that, he repli
ed.

I felt like thousands needles were piercing through my heart, cutting and leavi
ng permanent wounds on it. See it as a farewell kiss. He tried to smirk but his fu
tile attempt barely got to a sad smile.

My face heated up in anger and I walked to him. I wasnt thinking. I brought my ha

nd to his face and slapped him, hard. The sound of my palm crashing into his che
ek echoed through the rainy square. Evan didnt seem surprise when he turned his f
ace back at me. He rubbed his growing red cheek.

I deserved that, he stated calmly.

Id never been this angry in my life before. Id never felt so disappointed, so stu
pid.

You are such a jerk! How could you play with my feelings like that? How could you
- I broke off, taking a shaky breath. My entire body was shaking in anger.

I didnt mean for any of this to happen, he tried to explain; his tone was less cold
for a moment. My lower lip quivered.

Dont cry!

I needed strength to yell at him, there was no need to hold back my feelings any
more. There was no need to be careful about whatever I said to him. I had nothin
g left to lose.

I know youve had a difficult life but that doesnt give you the right to go around h
urting people like this. By this point I was yelling at him.

I warned you! He rose his tone as well. I told you I was not good but you didnt liste
n.

Because I cared for you! I blurted out. Evans eyes widened, his jaw clenched. I cou
ldnt take it back so I continued.

I wanted to help you.

I dont need your help or your pity!

Is this what this is about? You think I pity you? Evan opened his mouth to say som
ething but shut it quickly. He seemed to be choosing his words carefully.

You should probably go back to the house before you get sick. He rubbed his hand
over his face and let out a long sigh.

Why are you doing this, Evan? Why do you keep pushing me away? My voice was filled
with longing and hurt. He didnt say anything; he just stared at me in silence. H
is lips looked so red due to our recent make-out session. For a moment, I could
only hear the rain falling on us. We locked gazes, his cold faade seemed to crack
for a millisecond and I was able to see pain behind it. The deep pool of his da
rk eyes seemed to be endless. I wished I could know what was going through his h
ead at that mere instant. The sadness reflecting in his eyes eased my anger a li
ttle, but it was still there, palpitating like a sleeping volcano. Trying to und
erstand him when his actions were absolutely contradictory was so frustrating. W
as this a game for him?

Go back to the house, he said in a whisper. I squeezed my wet hands regaining my a

nger.

So this is it? I asked the obvious. Evan nodded.

My heart sank in my chest. His careless attitude was hurting me and angering so
much at the same time. I wanted to yell at him, to insult him for playing with m
y emotions like that. But I knew that if I spoke, my voice would crack. I was so

close to start sobbing like a baby. I wouldnt take the chance to let him see me
like that. I still had my dignity and pride, which was all Id had left after the
events of this night.

I, Julie Ann Jones, turned on my feet and started walking away from him. It was
the hardest thing Id done in my life. It was even harder than watching my pet die
d when I was five. My heart ached; I could feel an empty hole in it.

Mrs. Strawberry

I swallowed the lump in throat. I remembered all those nights I stayed up late c
hatting with him, sharing random thoughts about anything thatd come to mind. Id al
ways felt so comfortable when I talked to him, and I felt like I could tell him
everything because he wouldnt judge me and he never did. I trusted him. I would d
efinitely miss those random chats with him. He was my friend, he was my crush. H
e was many things to me, I had no idea how he got to be so important to me but t
he truth was, he was a part of my life now.
Falling for someone over the internet sounded wrong and weird in so many levels.
How can you get attached to a person without seeing his face? I probably knew t
he reason for it. When you are chatting with someone, you dont have to worry abou
t those barriers that exist in the real world. You dont have to worry about looks
; you dont have to pretend to be something else. You can be you without fear of b
eing rejected; you can share things you havent even told your best friend. Why? B
ecause the person at the other side of the chat is looking for the same thing as
you. That person wants to be listened to as much as you do. If what matters is
what we truly are inside, then the internet can be a media to share that. When w
e are chatting, were letting our true selves come to the surface, because thats al
l youve got when you can only express yourself through words. There are no masks,
no need of lying, theres only you and that unknown person at the other side.

A thunderclap snapped me back to reality. I was already walking down the sidewal
k, sniffing and hugging myself. I was going to the opposite direction of the par
ty. I really didnt want to go back there. I passed Laus, Jordans and Shanes houses b
ut I knew they werent there. They were at the party.

Absent-minded, I headed towards the house at the end of the street. I was shiver
ing from the cold; this was not good for my past flu. I crossed a very familiar
garden filled with lilies and faced a wooden door. I knocked on it with shaking
hands. I knew my lips were purple by this point. The house was quiet. What if th
ere was no one home? As if reply, the front door swung opened. Jason stood there
wearing blue shorts. His torso was naked. His hair was mess; each strand was po
inting a different direction. He looked as he just woke up

Jules? he yawned, rubbing his left eye

ile taking in my appearance. I wanted to
y throat and I only managed to let out a
ged him. His bare chest and arms felt so

lazily. What the hell? He dropped his hand wh

say something but my words drowned in m
shaky breath. Without hesitation, I hug
hot against my wet skin. He smelled lik

e honey soap.

I-I-I- I stuttered, shaking, burying my face in his neck.

Shh, its okay, he cooed softly, caressing the back of my head Its alright. He pulled a
way and held my face. What happened?

I I my voice kept cracking making it impossible for me to explain it to him. Jason c

aressed my cheek gently.

Come on, lets get you some warm clothes. He passed an arm over my shoulder and led
me to his room. When we entered it, it was a mess as usual. There were clothes a
ll over the floor, his bed was unmade. Jason gave me one of his t-shirts and a p
air of shorts. They were too big for me but they were better than my damp dress.
I changed in the bathroom quickly, then I got back to an empty room, drying my
hair with a towel. I had no idea where Jason had gone. After sitting on the warm
bed, I rubbed my face feeling emotionally and physically exhausted.

Evan

The only thought of him made my heart ache so I pushed it away. Jason came back
holding two cups of some hot beverage. I could see the smoke floating out of the
m. He had changed his shorts as well, yeah; I probably got him damp when I hugge
d him. He kicked the door closed and grinned at me.

I made some hot chocolate for you, milady, he stated in a royal manner, bowing lik
e a servant. I couldnt stop the smile that crept to my lips.

Your British accent sucks big day, I teased, grasping the cup from him. Jason gasp
ed in mock shock.

How can you say that, milady? Im a much respected Lord in these lands.

I chuckled blowing some fresh air on my hot chocolate. That was what I really lo
ved from Jason. He could make me smile even in the worst situations. He was a ch
eerful guy; no matter the circumstances he could always bring a smile to my lips
. Jason sat abruptly on the bed causing it to quaver. I almost spilled my chocol
ate.
Jason! I whined, holding the cup tightly.

Sorry, he mumbled next to me. We were so close our arms were touching. There was a
moment of silence; I knew he was waiting for me to tell him everything. I appre
ciated he was giving me my time to do it. Letting out a long sigh, I grasped som
e strength and proceeded to tell him the entire story. Jason listened to me very
carefully; his green eyes never left mine, not even when he took a sip of his h
ot chocolate.

By the time I was done, we both had finished our beverages and placed the cups o
n the night table. I pulled my feet inside the bed to sit Indian style and turne
d slightly to face my best friend. Jason mirrored me and we were soon staring at
each other in silence for a while.

Alright, youre supposed to say something now, I said nervously. Jason was too serio
us and I didnt like that.

Jason? I pushed, not liking his seriousness.

You do realize hes two years older than you? he asked after a while.

Yeah. So? I didnt know where this was going.

And youre okay with that? he questioned skeptically.

Yes, why wouldnt I be?

Jason poked my forehead, Because its illegal, dumbass. Youre underage. I opened my m
outh forming a O. Eighteen is the age of consent here. If you and him have romantic
physical contact, he could go to jail. I was too shocked to say something. How h
ad I forgotten about that? It hadnt even crossed my mind. I wasnt really updated w
ith my states laws.

Wait

Was that why Evan keep pushing me away?

A wave of hope crossed me. That would make a lot of sense.

Wait

Is kissing considered a romantic physical contact? That was the stupidest question
that Id ever wondered aloud.

Jason rolled his eyes. Of course. He poked my forehead again. You seem surprised, he
scowled at me. Didnt you know this?

Not really, I admitted, lowering my head. Wow, this is the first time youre actually
being smarter than me.

Jason snickered. I have my moments. I looked up at him and gave him a genuine smi
le.

You think thats the reason he keeps pushing me away? I asked hopefully. Jason shrug
ged.

I dont know. It could be. He sounds like a troubled dude though, he could have oth
er reasons. I rubbed my face, frustrated. I was tired of thinking, and my throbbi
ng head wasnt helping. Hey. Jason cupped my cheek. Everything is going to be okay. I
promise, he reassured. I nodded, staring at him intently. Jason looked so cute w
ith his bed hair. I ruffled it playfully.

I know, silly boy. I grinned at him.

Silly boy? he cocked an eyebrow. I thought I was being smarter than you tonight. he
smiled smugly.

The moments gone, loser. I stuck my tongue out at him. Jason narrowed his eyes at m
e but then a wolfish grin formed on his lips.

Is that so? His green eyes glowed with amusement. I knew what this meant:

Tickling war!

I tried to jump out of the bed but he caught me by my waist and pushed me back o
n it. No! I screamed, struggling to get free. He crawled on top of me to straddle
me.

Youre going down! he exclaimed dramatically and started pinching my waist over and
over again.

No! I laughed uncontrollably. He kept tickling me non-stop. I was laughing so hard

my stomach began to hurt.

Cant breathe, I managed to say, tears of laughter rolling down the sides of my face.

Say Im smarter than you.

No! I refused, out of breath.

Say it! he moved his hands faster on my waist. I was going to die of laughter if I
didnt stop him. I raised my hand and grasped a fist of his hair to pull at it. I
flipped him over and now it was me straddling him. I grinned triumphantly, tick
ling his neck. That was his weak spot. Jason laughed beneath me, trying to get m
e off him.
Get off, you evil girl! He was becoming red from laughing so much. He managed to g
rab my wrists and stop me. We were both breathing heavily from all the effort. J
ason looked into my eyes panting Lets call it a draw, okay? he gambled.

I believe I won. I couldnt remove the huge grin from my face. Jasons expression soft
ened.

Fine. He let go of my wrists Ill give you this one, only because I like making you s
mile like that. He pinched my nose, and I chuckled Now, can you get off me? I cant
feel my legs, he added, faking a pained expression. I shook my head and rolled of
f him to lie on my back.

Can I use your phone? I asked, staring at the white ceiling.

That depends.

Depends on what? I moved my head aside to look at him.

It depends on who youre going to call. I furrowed my eyebrows at his response.

Laura, I said.

Jason handed me his Blackberry. It wasnt a surprise I knew Laus number by heart.
It rang a few times before she answered.

Hello! she exclaimed excitedly. I could hear the partys music at the background.

Lau?

Jules? she seemed surprised Where are you? Why are you calling me from she made a pau
se, I could picture her taking a look at the ID on her phones screen. Jasons phone?

Because you have mine, I reminded her, rolling my eyes. Id given Laura my phone whe
n we left the house since the dress Id chosen to wear didnt have any pockets whats
oever.

Right, where are you?

Im at Jasons house. Can you give me a ride home? I bit my lower lip waiting for her
answer.

Oh, Im not sure I can drive. I had a couple drinks. I thought you were staying ove
r my house. She sounded confused Is everything alright?

Yeah, I just want to go home. I tried to sound as cool as possible.

Why?

Im not feeling well, I pressed. I really didnt want to ruin her night. Lau deserved
to have some fun; I could tell her my sad story in the morning.

Hold on I heard some voices at the background, they seemed to be talking about me He
y, Shane says he can give you a ride. I frowned.

Really? I didnt bother hiding the surprise in my voice.

Yeah, hell be there soon.

Okay, have fun.

You sure youre okay? Lau pressed, concern evident in her tone.

Im fine, dont worry.

Okay, call me when you get home. Ill give your phone to Shane so you can get it ba
ck.

Sounds good. Realization hit me No no, wait. Lau had already hung up.

Shane was going to have my phone

My phone

That little device was like an electronic diary. Everything was saved there; my
Wattpad account was open. Every single one of Evans text was there.

Oh no

Shane had not only read my actual diary, now he was going to have access to my e
lectronic diary as well.

Great, this is just great!

My night just got a worse if that was even possible. I growled in frustration. E
ven though I wasnt a fan of Jerkpid, I appreciated his offer.

Whats wrong?Jason asked, sitting in front of his computers desk.

Nothing, I mumbled. I knew Jason couldve given me a ride if his car wasnt at the wor
kshop. Bored, I looked at my shirtless best-friend. He seemed to be focused on t
he computers screen. I narrowed my eyes when I spotted a very familiar orange lab
el there What are you doing? I walked to be right behind him. My jaw dropped to th
e floor Youre on Wattpad?
Jason laughed nervously. Yeah, you kept talking about it. I was curious. Turns ou
t its pretty cool, he admitted.

I punched his shoulder. Why didnt you tell me?

I wanted to surprise you. Whats your username? he asked, typing on the search box.

JulesRocks.

No way! he exclaimed in disbelief.

What?

Mines JasonRocks. We both laughed at our obvious lack of creativity.

High five, bestie, I said, raised my hand and grinning like an idiot. After high-f
iving three times, I watched in silence whilst Jason was scrolling down my page
slowly.

Wow, you have a lot fans.

Yeah, theyre awesome.

Whats Evans username? Jason opened the search box again. I hesitated to say it. I di
dnt know if I wanted to check his profile after what happened. What if he was fli
rting with that girl again? I wasnt sure I could bear with it right now. Letting
out a long sigh, I told Jason the username. As soon as the browser showed up his
profile, my eyes landed on his recent status.

It was 11 minutes ago:

If you only knew

I felt something warm at the tip of my stomach. Why did I feel like that status
had something to with me? My gaze dropped to his profile info. Hed changed it. It
wasnt empty anymore. It had sort of a short poem there.

Red lips like petals of the passion flower,

That part to breathe the honeyed breath of love.
Those lips that my lips gladly would devour,
whose honey I would taste again thereof.

I couldnt help feeling touched by his words. I wasnt sure he was talking about me
but it still made my heart beat faster. Even though hed hurt me many times, I sti
ll had feelings for that jerk. I still felt the need to comfort him.
I still got warm inside reading his words.

After all, he was my one and only Wattpad crush.

Chapter 25
Shane s P.O.V

"Oh Shane!" the brunette in front of me moaned in my lips; but the sound didn t
excite me at all, in fact it had the opposite effect. She had that kind of squea
ky voice that resembled chalk scraping on a board. I kissed her harder trying to
silence that annoying voice of hers but it only earned me a sonorous whimper. I
ignored it as her avid hands slide under my t-shirt to caress my lower abdomen.
I had her pressed against the bathroom s pottery wall. I didn t know her name b
ut I didn t need it. I d met her a few minutes ago in the party when my so-consi
derate companion ditched me.
Jules...
Whenever I thought about her, I got a little angry. That little blue-eyed demon
definitely knew how to get under my skin. I remembered her coming out of her hou
se looking all cute with that blue navy dress. She was anything like the modelsbody girls I d been with but she had something more. She was innocent. I didn t
know why I felt this urge to protect her, like she was this fragile porcelain fi
gure who could be broken so easily.
Porcelain figure? Jeez, I m turning into a pussy.
Anyways, when we d arrived to the party, I d gone to get her a drink to tease he
r about that time Melissa poured one down on her. Imagine my surprise when I cam
e back and saw her talking to that Wattpad freak. They walked out of the living
room obviously needing more privacy.
That little...
I d squeezed the plastic glass so hard that vodka was dripping from my fingers.
Nobody ditches me, Im Shane Mason. I ditch people.
She didn t seem to appreciate the fact I was choosing to stay by her side instea
d of finding some easy girl to have my way with this night.
I was being nice here and no one seemed to appreciate it. So, screw niceness, Id

decided I was going to get laid and find some peace between this beautiful brune
ttes legs.
You are such a good kisser, the girl whispered on my mouth. Her voice came out hus
ky.
Tell me something I dont know, I said arrogantly. She smirked and pulled at my hair
to kiss me again. She tasted like cheap vodka and minty gum. Kissing her wasnt r
eally getting me in the mood so I left her lips to kiss her neck whilst massagin
g her breasts. Id always been a boobs man so touching hers was really getting me w
here I wanted to be.
Shane! Jordans voice entered the bathroom making me jump away from the girl.
The hell, man! You scared me! I exclaimed annoyed.
Have you drunk tonight? His tone was urgent.
What? I frowned I dont know if you noticed but Im kind of busy here. I gestured to the
girl and me suggestively.
Have you drunk or not? Jordan pressed, ignoring both the girl and my complaint.
No, I stated, remembering I wasnt really in the mood to drink after being ditched b
y that little minion known as Jules.
Cool, Jordan said, and took a step out of the bathroom Shane will take her! he shout
ed at someone.
Okay! I heard Lauras voice from the hallway.
Take who? I scowled at my best friend.
Shane, whats going on? the brunette asked, feeling as confused as I was. Her squeak
y voice caught Jordans attention. It was like he had finally noticed her. He eyed
her for a moment and then gave her a closed mouth smile.
I think its time for you to go, he said rudely.
What? The girl arched her eyebrow in surprise. Shane? She looked at me as if waiting
for me to do something.
Listen I started. Oh crap! I didnt know her name did she tell me her name? The brunet
te waited for me to continue while Jordan watched the scene amused.
You dont remember my name, do you? she pouted, folding her arms across her chest. S
he shook her head, disappointed. Names seemed to be important shit for girls. Your
e a jerk! She stormed out of the room, pushing Jordans side in the process. I glar
ed at him.
Thanks, man, I said sarcastically. Jordan squeezed my shoulder as we headed out of
the bathroom.
She wasnt even your type, he commented.
Hey! Laura stalked towards us. Excitement plastered on her face, Lets dance, babe, sh
e purred, holding Jordans hand, shaking her hips at the musics rhythm. She hadnt st
opped dancing since the very first moment we got here. Jordan stared at her dazz
led.

Oh man, he was whipped!

Can someone explain to me why the hell I was interrupted? I wondered aloud, breaki
ng their staring-at-each-other-like-fools moment.
Yeah, Jordan snapped out of her girlfriends spell Jules is at Jasons house. At the men
tion of that little devils name, I tensed up, and anger flowed through my body You
need to give her a ride home.
Why would I do that? I asked but was ignored by the couple. They practically ran d
ownstairs to continue dancing.
Debating with myself, I leaned against the hallways hall. What was she doing at J
asons house? I thought shed left with that Wattpad freak. Besides, it was pouring
with rain outside. A flash of trepidation crossed me. Was she okay? I shook my h
ead; I shouldnt worry about her, not after she ditched me. I was submerged in my
thoughts.
Hey! Laura waved her hand in front of me I forgot to give you this. She handed me an
Iphone and left as fast as shed come. I stared at the phone, puzzled. Everything
made sense when I touched the screen; the background was a picture of the littl
e mermaid. I couldnt help the smile that crept to my lips. Yeah, this had to be J
ules phone. It reminded me of that night I was at her house and she came down sta
irs wearing those ridiculous, little mermaid pajamas. What was she? Five years o
ld? Shaking my head in amusement, I noticed she had three unread texts and lots
of emails from Wattpad.
This could be interesting
I thought evilly but then I caught some movement from the corner of my eye. I sn
apped my head towards the end of the hallway. There was a guy coming out of one
of the rooms. His clothes were damp; I narrowed my eyes at him. He looked famili
ar. He looked up at me and I instantly recognized him. It was the Wattpad freak.
He stalked towards my direction in silence. There was something wrong going on
here. Last time Id seen Jules, she was with him and then she was at Jasons house,
and the freak was all damp walking around here.
What happened?
He seemed lost in deep thought. He gave me a simple nod as a greeting and tried
to get in the bathroom but I blocked his way.
Where is she? I asked seriously.
Who? he replied.
Jules. His shoulders tensed up as he pressed his lips in a tight line.
I dont know, he murmured coldly as he pushed me aside to enter the bathroom. I had
a bad feeling about this. I went downstairs and crossed the living room as fast
as the dancing crowd let me. I opened the front door, the rain had stopped final
ly.
Shane! A hot brown haired girl shouted my name excitedly. She got on my way grinni
ng from ear to ear. How did she know my name? I had no idea but it didnt really s
urprise me. I was popular around here. I took my time to eye this hottie but sig
hed disappointedly when I noticed she was intoxicated. Her blonde hair was a mes
s and her eyes were red. She was holding a plastic glass precariously, taking un
steady sips. Youre not going to wish me a happy birthday, she slurred. Her breath a
lmost got me drunk right there. Oh, she was the birthday girl.

Happy birthday I trailed off not remembering her name. Id seen her before at school,
she was kind of hot but I sucked with names if you hadnt noticed.
Helen, she finished for me The names Helen,
Right. Somehow, I manage to curl my lips upward in a semblance of a smile.
Why so lonely? She traced her hand up my chest trying to be seductive. Drunken gir
ls should never try being seductive, enough said. Even though she was hot, I pre
ferred my girls sober so they could be fully conscious when I showed them a good
time. Gently, I held her hand removing it from my chest.
Im not alone, I lied. She looked surprised for a moment and then her expression tur
ned into a sad one.
Im sorry. She rubbed her face with her free hand and exhaled shakily. I dont know wha
t Im doing.
You okay? I asked politely.
No, I think her eyes were brimming with tears. Oh crap! Did I hurt her womans pride
or something?
Listen, Helen, youre hot and all but I-
No, no, this isnt about you, she cut me off. I stared at her confused. She held her
forehead I love him, she blurted out. I frowned.
Huh? she seemed to notice my confusion.
I love my fuck buddy, holy shit! She threw the plastic glass away and placed her b
ack to me. I screwed it up! I had no idea what this girl was talking about but she
seemed pretty upset about it. She turned to me once again What would you do in m
y position?
Your position?
Yes, she answered, obviously, what would you do if you fell for someone youre not su
pposed to fall for?
Hum I really didnt know what to say to that. Tell them? I asked hesitantly.
But what if you knew he probably doesnt feel the same way?
Then dont tell him. I shrugged. Yeah, I was a simple person. Helen sighed.
I pushed him away, she admitted sadly. I didnt even invite him to my birthday. I cant
love him, I just cant. He said it would always be about sex between us, nothing
serious and I agreed. I cant go and tell him I want more, so much more so I ended
it with him.
Im not the most appropriate person to give a piece of advice, I started, but you sho
uld tell him, life is about taking risks, I added as I walked past her.
Thank you, I heard her say behind me.
No problem, After having my Dr. Phil moment with Helen, I jumped inside my car. Th
e familiar warm and peppermint scent welcomed me. Jasons house wasnt really far so
I drove slowly towards it. Jules phone was lying on the passenger seat. I glance

d at it a few times curiously. Who kept texting her? Was it the freak? My hands
itched to check it but I had some respect for girls privacy. Yeah, that sounded h
ypocritical after that time Id read Jules diary, but in my defense, I was mad at h
er because of that time she made me fail Math.
Youre mad at her now for ditching you
My mind retorted trying to find an excuse to check her phone. It was too late th
ough, Id already parked in front of Jasons house. I honked until the front door wa
s opened. Jules walked out of the house, looking like a boy. She was wearing a l
arge size green t-shirt that fell past her hips and baggy shorts. Her brown hair
looked darker than usual since it was wet. What happened to her dress? I narrow
ed my eyes at her suspiciously. Seemed like she and freaky boy had fun under the
rain, huh? Why did I care anyway? Jules got on the passengers seat, picked up he
r phone and closed the door. Instantly, her scent filled the car. She smelled r
eally good, nothing compared to the alcohol, intoxicated girls from the party. S
he smelled sweet and mild.
Hey, she whispered shyly, averting her gaze from me.
Hey. I stared at her for a moment before driving off. Youre into transvestism now? I
joked trying to start a conversation but she didnt say anything. I stole a few gl
ances at her but she seemed lost in thought. What was wrong with her? She wasnt u
sually this quiet. I pulled over at the side of the dark road and turned my body
towards her. What happened? I asked straightforwardly. She shifted in her seat.
Nothing, she muttered, not even glancing at me. She smoothed a stray lock of her h
air behind her ear, giving me a better view of her face.
Look at me, I demanded, but she kept her eyes on the window.
Im fine. Her voice was soft, almost a whisper. I pursed my lips in frustration.
Listen, earlier you ditched me at that party and when I was finally starting to h
ave fun again I was interrupted, because apparently, I had to pick you up, so yo
u owe me big time. Tell me what the hell happened between you and freaky boy.
His name is Evan, she reminded me sadly. I held her face and forced her to look at
me. My eyes widened. Her big blue eyes were swollen and her nose red. I clenche
d my jaw, a tidal wave of rage surging over me. It wasnt the first time Id seen he
r like this, looking so sad, and I knew Evan was behind this.
Have you been crying? my voice was low, laced with concern.
Yes. She looked so vulnerable.
Why? She bit her lower lip drawing my attention to her mouth. I knew Id always foun
d her attractive in a cute strange kind of way but I could have never expected m
e to feel this uncontrollable urge boiling inside me
The irrepressible urge to kiss her
God, I wanted to lean forwards and pressed my lips against hers so bad. I wanted
to taste her, to hold her and feel her against me. I wanted her. I wanted to ha
ve her for me. I didnt know if it was pure lust or something else but there was a
more important question prowling in my mind:
Why her?
She wasnt hot or outgoing like many of the girls Id dated before. But she was funn

y, sarcastic and innocent. I enjoyed hanging out with her, she was the only girl
Id spent so much time with not involving sex. However, I knew there was another
reason why I wanted her; something had triggered this sudden urge.
I think, Jules voice snapped me out my internal conflict I think Im falling in love w
ith Evan, her words made my chest tightened. I looked right into her eyes, trying
to hide my disappointment.
I couldnt have her, but that was exactly why I wanted her now. I thought sadly as
I let go of her face and drove off into the dark night.

My Wattpad Love

Chapter 26

Jules P.O.V

Shane was too quiet.

After my embarrassing confession of love for Evan, Shane hadnt uttered a word. Id
expected him to tease me about it, to make fun of me or something but not this.
The rest of the ride home became truly uncomfortable. I stole a few glances at h
im, but his eyes were on the road, and I wasnt sure he was even blinking. I coul
dnt believe what I was seeing. Shane looked serious. That was new. Hed never been
the serious type. I couldnt understand the reason for his strange behavior but I
was definitely going to find out.

Shane? My voice sounded raspy.

Yeah? his tone was cold; there was no trace of his usual playfulness. Alright, tha
t was new, too.

Whats wrong? I stared at him but he didnt even glance at me. He squeezed the steerin
g wheel.

Nothing.

Youre acting weird, I commented, watching his reaction. He pressed his

ght line. His shoulders were tense. I didnt need to be an expert on body
to know there was something wrong with him. Did I make him uncomfortable
he confession? I was seriously regretting telling him. I didnt know what
inking, Id just blurted it out. It was like one of those moments when we
something shocking and we cant help saying it aloud.

lips in a ti
language

I was th
realize

Shanes silence was killing me; I could almost touch the tension inside the car. I
stared at the window, watching the drops of rain rolling down the glass. A flas
h of sadness crossed me. I would never be able to see the rain without thinking
about Evan. It would always remind me of that mind-blowing kiss. Id never felt an
ything like this before. To be in his arms felt so good, so right.

Were here. Shanes voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I took my seatbelt off, shove
d my phone in my shorts pockets and opened the door.

Thank you, I whispered honestly. He didnt say anything so I got off the car and hea
ded towards my house. I hugged myself, shivering from the cold. It was still dri

zzling a little. I opened my front door and the warmth and familiar smell of my
home welcomed me. The lights were on and so was the TV which meant my mother was
still awake. I had no idea what time it was.

Mom, Im home! I shouted, sniffing. Something smelled really good here.

Im in the kitchen! she shouted back. I frowned. What was she doing there? Mom wasnt
really a fan of cooking.

Following the delicious scent of homemade food, I found myself in the kitchen. M
om was wearing a very nice black short dress. It was really tight, highlighting
her curvy figure. Her brown hair was in an elegant pony tail. She even put some
make-up on. I frowned. What was going on? She bent over to get something out of
the oven and placed it on the counter facing me. God, that food looked very appe
tizing. Was that chicken? I licked my lips.

Hey, I thought you were staying over Lauras house. She stared at me inquiringly. Are
those mens clothes? Her eyebrows knitted together. What happened to your dress? An
d why are you looking like a soaked dog? Her expression turned into a judging one
. Julie Ann Jones, dont tell me you were out in the rain. I laughed nervously.
What? I asked, my tone rising. That usually happened when I lied. No, of course not
. Mom narrowed her eyes at me.

You just recovered from influenza, Jules. She took her oven gloves off. Since when
are you so reckless? I sighed.

Im sorry, Mom, it just happened, I said. Whats going on? I asked in a subtle attempt t
o change the subject.

Have you been crying?

There goes my attempt

I shifted in my seat, No, I was I trailed off. I was looking up at the sky and rain
got in my eyes.

Really, Jules? Really?

You really cant lie, can you? she asked amusedly. I relaxed my shoulders in defeat.
Moms expression softened Is this about a boy?

Yeah, I admitted, looking down.

Sweetie, you do know you can tell me everything, right? I nodded. What happened?

Telling Mom my sad love story wasnt as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. Sh
e and I had always trusted each other; itd always been the two of us. We had fami
ly in other towns but we barely kept in touch with them. Therefore, we only had
each other. Of course, I skipped some details that I knew Mom wouldnt really appr
ove, like the heat I felt when I was passionately kissing Evan under the rain. Y
eah, I was sure she didnt need to know that. Mom listened to me in silence. When
I was done, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

I think I know who he is, Mom whispered, deep in thought. I stared at her puzzled.

What do you mean?

Well, she started, sitting on the stool across me, Do you remember that week-end yo
u had to stay over Laus house because I couldnt come home? I searched in my mind fo
r that memory.

Yes, you were three days straight in the hospital. That was years ago. I furrowed
my eyebrows. Where are going with this?

The reason I couldnt leave the hospital was because I had a very unusual terrible
case to deal with, she made a pause, We received a call from River Towns hospital,
they were transferring four patients. Apparently, it was a murder case, so we, a
s the biggest hospital close by, had to take care of it. Besides, our hospital h
ad more resources and specialists. My chest tightened but I listened to her atten
tively. When the ambulances arrived, two of the patients were already dead. I was
really shocked, Jules. They were a family. The police officer informed us of th
e situation. The father had shot the mother and then shot himself. Their childre
n were coming in the other ambulance. There were a boy and girl. They were both
injured. And as we proceeded to take care of them and examine them, we noticed t
heyd been victims of abuse for years. They had bruises and fractures. They were b
oth traumatized, especially the boy, as he wouldnt even speak. The girl was young
er than him and she wouldnt let go of him. Mom let out a long breath. Id never seen
anything like it before. That case was in the news for months, but of course, th
e identity of them was hidden. They had suffered enough to be chased by the medi
a.

Youre saying Mom nodded.

Their names were Evan and Helen Woods, even though I knew that was where she was h
eading, it still surprised me when she clarified it, I could never forget their n
ames, their case really moved me.

Oh God. I clutched my forehead, bewilderment washing over me. Life was truly a mes
s. Who couldve thought my own mother had treated him in the worst night of his li
fe? God, I felt so bad for him. I couldnt even imagine what hed been through.

Are you okay? Moms hand reached mine and she squeezed it reassuringly.

Yeah, this is just I was out of words.

I know, she whispered. Hes been through a lot, sweetie. He probably has emotional wo
unds that havent healed. When a person goes through traumatic circumstances, they
usually block everyone out. They are afraid of being hurt again. Im not justifyi
ng him, but medically, his behavior is normal. He will overcome this with time,
the thing is, are you really up for dealing with him? She rested her palm on my f
ace. His burden has nothing to do with you. I dont want you suffering for it; youre
too young for that, sweetie.
I care about him, Mom. She smiled sadly at me.

I know that. I can see it in your eyes. She caressed my cheek gently.

I can help him.

Some people dont want to be helped, Jules, she stated seriously. I closed my eyes,
remembering the sadness in Evans gaze.

I dont care, I replied, opening my eyes. Mom shook her head disapprovingly.

Youre so stubborn.

I got it from you, I joked, trying to ease the sadness in me. Mom got on her feet

and leaned over to kiss my forehead.

Just be smart enough to know when to give up, she said, softly leaning backwards t
o look into my eyes. I know its hard, but sometimes you just have to let it go. She
started taking her apron off. It was then I remembered she was up to something.

Whats the occasion? I wondered aloud. Mom bit her lower lip nervously.

Oh, I thought you were staying over Laus house so I she trailed off giving her back
to me to put the apron inside one of the cabinets.

So? You decided to invite some friends to dinner? I guessed, because she had done
that before. Some friends from the hospital had come two or three times for dinn
er in the past few months.

Actually, I have she paused turning to me, a date. My eyes widened.

A date? I was shocked Really?

Yes, his name is John. Hes a cardiologist at the hospital.

Oh. This was the first time Mom had a date in years.

Im sorry, I thought you werent coming. I didnt mean to make you uncomfortable.

Uncomfortable? Mom, Im fine, I assured her honestly. I just think its kind of fast to
invite him over in the first date.

Actually its not our first date. Weve been dating for three months now. My jaw droppe
d to the floor.

What? And you tell me this now? My tone rose.

I-

Were not supposed to hide these things for each other, I cut her off, getting sligh
tly upset.

Sweetheart, you have to understand. I wanted to know him, to see if we have some
future before introducing him to you. I dont want you meeting all the guys I try
a relationship with. I dont want you getting attached to a man wholl end up leavin
g. We had enough with your fathers depart. A flash of pain crossed her eyes. I wont
put through that again. Her words eased my anger.

Im sorry, I apologized for getting all judgmental on her.

Its okay. You werent suppose to find out like this anyway.

Mom, its cool. You have fun, alright? Ill go upstairs and you wont even notice Im her
e. Ill meet him whenever you think its time, theres no rush. Mom gave me a toothy sm
ile.

You have matured for your age.

Not really, Im still afraid of the boogeyman. Mom laughed shortly.

I love you. Her eyes shone with sincerity.

I love you too, Mom, I said before yawing. I was tired. I rubbed my face. What a ni
ght! I blew some hair out of my face. Mom stalked towards me.

Come here. She offered her arms and I got up to hug her. She held me tightly. I fe
lt so safe in her arms. Her smell calmed me. Everything is going to be alright. Ev
en when I knew that statement was probably wishful thinking, it still calmed me
to hear her say it. Mom took a step backwards and held my face with both hands No
w, youre going to take a warm shower, take two aspirins and sleep, okay? We dont w
ant you relapsing on the flu.

Yes, sir! I exclaimed, mocking determination. Mom pinched my nose.

Go, she shooed me, pushing me to the stairs.

Can I have some of that chicken? It looks so good. Mom chuckled at my question.

Sure, Ill give you a plate once youre showered.

Thank you! I kissed her cheek and went upstairs.

As soon as I stepped in my room, everything fell down on me. I had a lot of info
rmation to take in. I turned my night light on and sat on my bed. I stared at my
closed laptop on the night table. It brought so many memories to me. I remembe
red the first I talked to Evan. I was so angry about the rude comment he made ab
out my story. Who couldve thought I would end up caring about him? A sad smile cr
ept to my lips as I remembered all those nights I stayed up late, talking to him
without realizing I was fascinated by him. I wanted to know more and more about
him. His mysteriousness dragged me to him. Not to mention how comfortable I fel
t talking to him, I trusted him for no reason.

I dont want to see you again

His cold words made my heart constrict. How long will this hideous overwhelming
feeling last? Why did it hurt so much? Even though Mom had told me his depressin
g story, that wouldnt ease the pain within. Hed hurt me too much. Why was it so ha
rd to let him go? My eyes watered. Maybe I turned into a masochist without even
realizing it. Images of his handsome face flashed through my closed eyes.

Just be smart enough to know when to give up.

Moms wise recommendation roamed around my head. How could I know when to give up
? Could I bear getting hurt again? How many punches could my heart take? What if
Evan didnt really feel the same way and that was why he kept pushing me away? Ma
ybe I was fooling myself for thinking he actually had feelings for me. Tears str
eamed down my face.

Love makes us fools.

Sighing, I let myself fall backwards on my bed. I could hear the rain hitting my
windows glass.

Evan

Evan

What are you doing right now? Where are you? Are you thinking about me?

What should I do?

Mrs. Strawberry

I covered my face to sob softly. I was swallowed by the memory of all the things
hed said to me

Youre the opposite of me.

I like you

Youre beautiful

Writers always leave pieces of themselves on the story.

Were miles away.

Why would he do this to me? Why would he push me away like this? I wished I coul
d enter his mind, I wished he knew I was more than willing to help him, to be th
ere for him whenever he needed me. I couldnt imagine the pain hed endured but I wa
s willing to listen to him. He didnt have to be alone in this. It could be my way
of paying him back for all those nights he listened to my endless babbling. I u
ncovered my face and opened my eyes. My sight was blurred cause of the tears. I b
linked, letting them escape my eyes.

My phone buzzed in my shorts pocket. I had totally forgotten about it. I pulled i
t out to check it. Anticipation made my mouth dry as my eyes landed on the unrea
d texts and mails from Wattpad. I proceed to read the texts but I was instantly
disappointed when I read the IDs. There were three texts from Jason and one from
Laura. Jasons texts were from earlier, asking me about Helens party. That was pro
bably before I showed up sobbing at his door. Lau was asking if I got home alrig

ht. I texted her back telling her I was okay.

Sorrowfully, I checked the emails list. I felt a pull at the top of my stomach as
I read that familiar e-mail:

Dark_poet001 sent you a message:

It is for your own good. Im sorry.

My own good? Didnt he know I wasnt good at all without him? The message was 14 min
utes ago. I hesitated about my reply. I didnt know if I was ready to talk to him.
I wanted to tell him so many things. I wanted to yell at him. Couldnt he let me
make my own choices? Angrily, I typed a reply:
Why would you play with my feelings like that?

Him: Im sorry.

Me: Stop saying that.

Him: ..

Me: Why?

Him: Did you get home alright?

Me: Like you care.

Him: Just tell me.

Me: Im fine.

Him: Good.

Me: Evan

Him: You need to forget about me.

Me: No, no until you tell me why.

My heart was racing inside my chest. I literally stopped breathing each time he
replied.

Him: I already told you.

Me: You never gave me your reasons.

Him: I didnt need to.

Me: You owe me an explanation.

Him: I dont owe you anything.

Me: Why would you lead me on like that if you felt nothing for me?

Him: I was just fooling around.

I ignored the stabbed I felt in my chest when I read that.

Me: Was this a game for you?

Him: Yes.

Me: I dont believe you.

Him: I dont care.

Me:

Him: I have to go.

Me: Dont.

Him: Im sorry.

Dark_poet001 logged off.

Desperately, I searched through my contacts and found his number. I called him b
iting my lower lip nervously; my heart was going to jump out of my chest.I thoug
ht he wasnt going to answer but after the third ring, I was surprised to hear his
sexy voice.

Hello?

Evan, I-

Stop this, Jules. His tone was soft, but tinged with pain.

I cant.

What do you want from me?

I want answers thats all. Evan sighed.

Jules

Evan, please, I pleaded pathetically. Why did love make us so weak? God, I was bei
ng clingy.

Im not good, Jules.

Thats not true, I retorted. I heard him sigh again, he sounded so troubled.

What am I going to do with you? he whispered, his husky voice sent shivers through
me.

Just be with me.

I cant.

Why?

I just you should get some sleep. He tried to sound cold but I could still sense th
e sadness lining his voice.

Promise me, I will see you again and we will talk.

I cant promise that.

Evan

Goodnight, sweet Jules. He hung up but I still held the phone pressed against my e
ar. My heart was beating really fast inside my chest. I lay back on my bed and g
azed at the ceiling. I was numb for a moment. My phone buzzed in my hand and I r
aised it to my face. It was a text from Evan; I stopped breathing whilst I read
it:

Youre driving me crazy, Mrs. Strawberry.

My Wattpad Love
Chapter 27
Evan I whispered, leaning to him. I wanted to feel his lips against mine. Evan smil
ed at me.

You are so cute, Jules. His sexy voice made me shiver.

Kiss me, I demanded, wrapping my arms around his neck.
Our lips were about to meet
Jules! someone screamed right in my ear. I jumped awake; I held my chest as I sat
up. Lau was standing next to me, grinning wickedly.
Arg! Lau! I was having a good dream! I whined throwing my pillow at her. She chuck
led.
Im sorry but its past noon, time to wake up, she said casually, sitting on the edge
of my bed.
Its Sunday, I reminded her, annoyed. I can sleep late on Sundays.
Not when you have some explaining to do. She folded her arms across her chest.
I frowned. What are you talking about?
What happened last night? she inquired, staring at me.
Long story, I replied, rubbing my face.
I have all day to listen.
Can I brush my teeth first? I asked, irritated. I didnt get in my best mood when so
meone woke me up. Lau gestured me towards the bathroom.
Sure, but I wont go away and you know it. I rolled my eyes and got out of bed.
ter doing my routine in the bathroom, I walked out scratching my butt. I was sur
e a part of my brain was still asleep. To my surprise, Lau was not alone anymore
. Jason was lying on my bed as if it was his.

Af

Hey, we brought you breakfast. Jason sat up, smiling at me. Well, more like lunch. H
e frowned, probably remembering it was the afternoon. The point is, we brought yo
u food.
Whats going on? I asked, eyeing them suspiciously. Why are you two here? Lau and Jaso
n exchanged knowing glances.
Are you okay? Jason asked seriously.
Yeah, why wouldnt I be? They seemed surprised by my reply.
I dont know. I thought heartbreak was very painful, Jason commented.
Heartbreak
Evan
Everything came down on me. My heart shrunk in my chest as I remembered all the
events from last night. I held back some tears and pretended a smile.
Im okay, I lied. Lau shook her head, smiling sadly at me.
Weve been your best friends since kindergarten. Lau stood up. Im pretty sure we can t
ell whenyoure lying. Come here. She offered her arms to me. I hugged her tightly. Im
sorry for not being there for your last night. I knew she was being honest.

Its okay. You didnt know. I pulled away from her.

I shouldve known there was something wrong when you called me, she spoke softly, gu
ilt plastered on her face, but I was so submerged in that party. She sighed Im reall
y sorry,
Lau. I held her face Its cool, really. You have the right to have fun, youre here now
and thats all that matters. Jason cleared his throat.
Sorry to interrupt your Beverly Hills TV show moment, but Jules, your food is gett
ing cold, he said, pinching my food.
Hey! Hands off the food! I exclaimed, approaching to him.
Calm down, woman! He seemed scared. He knew better than to mess with my food. I
proceeded to eat and tell Lau the entire story. Jason already knew most of it so
he simply stayed on my bed texting someone. Lau listened to me attentively. I f
elt a soft thug of pain in my stomach when I told her the painful parts. I had t
o pause to swallow the lump in my throat a few times. It was hard talking about
it but it felt kind of good to vent all my feelings.
So thats all, I finished, letting out a long sigh. Feeling my dry throat, I took a
sip from the orange juice theyd brought me.
Wow. Lau ran her fingers through her hair. Nothing is easy when it comes to that bo
y, is it?
Nope, I stated, popping the p.
You want to hear my opinion? she offered, holding her chest.
No, Lau, I just spent half-an-hour of my life telling you the entire story just f
or the fun of it, I said sarcastically. Lau pinched my waist. I jumped away from
her.
No need to be sarcastic, alright? she reprehended before continuing, Im just saying,
you know me. My opinion will be brutally honest, are you ready for that? I knew
what she meant. Lau wasnt the go around the bush type of girl. She didnt like embe
llishing the things she said.
Im ready. I nodded my head slowly.
In my opinion, hes being an indecisive jerk and youre being weak and needy. My eyes
widened.
Its pretty obvious hes a very reserved, closed-up guy, probably because of his past
but he needs to stop toying with your heart like this. Its like that hot and col
d song from Katy Perry,
You like Katy Perry? Since when? I asked shocked.
Yeah, but thats not the point. He obviously likes you, I mean, he kissed you for a
reason but hes probably scared or something. Guys can be pretty confusing someti
mes. As for you my dear friend, you need to stop being so clingy, okay?
What do you mean?
Boys dont like clingy, whiny girls, Jules, she explained seriously.

Shes right, Jason agreed from behind me.

Im not being clingy, I retorted. Lau cocked an eyebrow.
Yes, you are. Youre clinging to him like you did with that hideous teddy bear you
had when you were seven. I opened my mouth in surprise.
Hey! It wasnt hideous and it was a panda, I defended indignantly. Lau rolled her ey
es as Jason snickered behind me.
It was hideous, Jason agreed. I folded my arms across my chest.
Wasnt! I retorted childishly.
Was! Lau poked my forehead.
You still have it, dont you? Jason wondered, pulling at my hair.
Pssst! I exclaimed nervously. Of course not! Im a big girl now. My tone was too loud.
Jason and Lau exchanged glances.
She still has it, both of them said at the same time.
This isnt about Pedro, we were-
Pedro? they burst into laughing. I glared at them
You named it Pedro? Lau asked, laughing her ass off. Their loud laughs were kind o
f contagious. I was biting my lower lip not to join them but couldnt help burstin
g into laughing as well. Yeah, Pedro wasnt really the cutest name for a teddy bea
r, but hey, I was seven at the time, okay?
We laughed for a while until there were tears streaming down my face. Somehow I
ended up resting my head on Jasons lap. I wiped my tears away. Lau composed herse
lf and for a moment she seemed to be deep in thought.
Lau? I caught her attention.
I have a plan. She finally snapped out of her thoughts.
A plan?
Yes, you need to stop your clingy attitude, alright? She held her chin staring at
some point at the wall. Dont message him. Leave him alone. If its possible, ignore
him. That will be like a bucket of cold water to him because youve never been col
d to him. Youve always been there for him so he needs to think he lost you. That
will make him come to you by himself.
And if he doesnt? I whispered sadly.
Then sadly, youll have to let him go because he obviously doesnt care enough about
you if he doesnt react at your change of attitude. I took a deep breath in.
But I dont know If I can t stop myself from messaging him, I admitted.
We will help you, Lau grinned at me, well keep you distracted.
I appreciate the effort, but guys, you two have lives and relationships to take c
are of. You cant be with me all day.
The hell we can. Jason got on his feet, rubbing her hands manically. Were gonna be l

ike your bodyguards, and for the record, Im not in a relationship.

I narrowed my eyes at him. Seriously, Jason? When are you going to admit youre cra
zy about Helen?
He what? Lau opened her mouth and punched his shoulder. Jay-Jay has been caught! she
joked. Jason ruffled her hair.
I hate that nickname, he muttered.
"I know, Jay-Jay," she teased, taking a step away from him. "By the way, you and
Jason are really ignorant when it comes to know about the law," I scowled at he
r.
"Why?"
"The law clearly states that it s illegal to have sex with a minor if you re ove
r 18. It doesn t say anything about kissing or having a relationship," she clari
fied.
"Really?" I glared at Jason. "You idiot!" I threw my other pillow at him. "And t
o think I thought you were actually being smart when you told me Evan and I coul
dn t be together because of the law." Jason scratched the back of his head.
"You shouldn t have trusted my words, you know me. He shrugged his shoulders. Lau
let herself fall on my bed.
"You re lucky to have me," she added arrogantly "Jason s IQ is as small as his p
enis."
"Lau!" I scrunched my nose in disgust remembering the two times I had unfortunat
ely seen his little buddy. I couldn t help the blush invading my cheeks.
"You don t know the size of my penis!" Jason jumped on top of her angrily. Lau l
aughed trying to push him off.
"But it s okay if you wanna find out. He winked down at her. Lau made a disgust f
ace.
"Ew! Get off me!" I watched the scene in amusement. Jason smiled wickedly at her
.
"You enjoy having me this close," he teased, tickling her.
"No!" She trashed around, trying to get him off. They stopped moving and stared
into each other s eyes breathing heavily. For a slight moment, Jason s gaze drop
ped to her lips. Whoa whoa... What? He quickly jumped off her, fixing his t-shir
t.
"I gotta go now," he rushed his words. Lau sat up brushing her messy hair with h
er fingers.
"Bye, Jay-Jay. She stuck her tongue out at him. Jason gave her a killer look and
looked at me.
"Call me if you need anything, alright?" He came closer and kissed my forehead t
enderly.
"Okay."

We watched him leave and then my eyes landed on my best friend.

"Ok," I started. "What the hell was all that about?"
"What?" Lau played the fool.
"You and Jason."
"Huh?"
"Lau, I just witnessed my two best friends flirting... hard, so what the hell?"
"We weren t flirting. She averted her gaze.
"Look into my eyes," I demanded, crawling closer to her. Her big green eyes met
my blue ones."What. Was. All. That. About?" I said each word slowly. Lau swallow
ed, her cheeks tinted slightly red.
"It s just innocent flirting."
"What? Lau, you have a boyfriend!"
"I know. I know. I m not saying I like Jason or anything. We re just used to do
this sometimes, it won t happen again."
"It better not." I gave her a disapproving look.
"It s just an old habit, it won t happen again, alright?"
"Fine." I smiled at her. "How s Jordan?" Lau s face brightened up.
"We re good. You have no idea how sweet he can be behind that arrogant attitude.
Her words reminded me of Shane. Did he have a sweet side like Jordan? I bet a ba
g of Ruffles he didn t.
We spent the rest of the afternoon talking about random things. I introduced her
to Wattpad once again but she refused to create an account. She said she was to
o lazy to do it. I didn t know anything about Evan since I was following Lau s a
dvice. I really hoped it worked out.
**
This wasnt working out.
I was in hell.
The week rushed by and I hadn t even got one single message from Evan.
I was dying inside slowly and painfully. Ok I was probably being dramatic but th
is was pure torture. I put on a strong facade in front of Jason and Lau, but tru
th was, I was having a hard time. My fingers itched for texting him, for checkin
g his wattpad profile. Holding myself back was not a easy thing to do. It was Fr
idays afternoon already. I was walking to the parking lot lazily. I really hoped
Lau hadnt ditched me since she was my ride home.
Crossing the football field, I remembered that day Evan gave me a ride home. I r
emembered our first kiss. I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. I was af
raid of scanning the parking lot, what if he was there? What was I supposed to d
o?

I lifted my gaze to check the parking lot; I had no idea of where Laus car was pa
rked. My heart jumped in my chest as my eyes spotted a very familiar black car Ev
ans car. I tried to maintain my regular breathing but my chest was already rising
and falling quickly. I squeezed my hands at my sides nervously. My throat was a
wfully dry.
Calm down
I hadnt even seen him and I was about to die of a heart attack. What if that wasnt
his car? It had to be, I hadnt seen a similar car around before. Oh God! He had
to be around if his car was there.
Breathe, Jules. Youre overreacting.
Overreacting my ass! I wasnt prepared for this. Lau hadnt obviously considered thi
s possibility. One thing was not to message him but what was I supposed to do if
I saw him? Ignore him, too? With shaking hand, I took my phone out of my pocket
to text Lau:
Where are u?
Lau: End of the parkin lot. Come.
I felt relieved because she didnt leave without me. Ok, I could do this. Evan was
not around right now, I just needed to cross the parking lot and everything wou
ld be over.
Why the hell am I not moving?
When my legs finally responded to me, I found myself walking through the cars. T
here were cars at both of my sides, some students were gathered around their car
s talking, and some were already leaving. Sunset was falling all over us, tiltin
g the sky orange and pink. I swallowed when I passed Evans car.
I can do this
I can do thI stopped on my tracks abruptly. Evan he was walking right towards me. My stomach
did a major black-flip. God, I forgot how hot he was. He was wearing a leather
jacket with dark blue t-shirt underneath. His dark hair was messy partially fall
ing down his forehead a little. His intense gaze fell on me freezing me on the s
pot. He was walking in my direction, probably heading to his car. He had his han
ds inside his jackets pocket. As he came closer I couldnt help noticing the bags u
nder his eyes. I knew I had to move. He was staring at me shamelessly, not bothe
ring to dissimulate. I felt like he was seeing right through me. It was then I r
ealized how bad I wanted to kiss him again, to feel those lips against mine, to
have him close.
Move!
My inner voice yelled at me. I knew I had to ignore him but I was dying to talk
to him, to hear his sexy voice. I missed him so much. But I was also afraid of g
etting hurt again so grasping some courage, I started moving towards him. I coul
dnt remove my eyes from him though. His expression was unreadable as usual. Evan
slowed down a little bit when I was getting closer to him as if he expected me t
o stop or say something. Ignoring my protesting heart, I walked past him avertin
g my gaze. Getting away from him like that was one of the hardest things Id done
in my life. When I reached Laus car, she was sitting on the hood alone, playing w
ith her keys.

You look like youre about to pass out, she said jumping off the hood. I wanted to s
peak but no words left my mouth You okay? I shook my head Whats wrong? I walked aroun
d her to get on the passengers seat. Lau frowned but ran to jump in the drivers se
at. Once we were inside the car, she turned her body to me What happened?
I saw him, I mumbled.
What?

I saw him, I said louder this time.

Evan?
Yes,
Oh, Lau exclaimed in realization, Did you?
I ignored him. I clutched my forehead trying to calm down.

Really? Lau didnt bother to hide the shock on her face. Wow, thats great. I gave her a
flat look.
Sorry, but that was the best thing to do right now.
I know, I sighed.
Dont worry, youll probably seen him again tomorrow.
What? I snapped my heard towards her.
River towns festival is tomorrow and we are so going.
You mean that weird festival they do at the rivers borders?
Yup. Lau started starting the engine.
What if he doesnt go? I wondered sadly.
He will, everyone is going, Lau assured me seriously. She drove off the parking lo
t and I kept my head down. I knew I had done the right thing but I still felt ba
d about it. My phone buzzed in my hand making jump a little in my seat. It was a
text from Evan. I hesitated to open it. My heart was pumping blood really fast
through my veins. Waves of expectation and curiosity were washing over me.
From: Evan </3
Why cant we be friends?
His question caught me out of guard. I couldnt believe he was bringing up that fr
iend thing again. I showed Lau the text.
Tell him youre going to be his friend, she recommended.
What?
Listen, he just took a step. He texted you even when he said he didnt want to see
you again which is obviously a lie. Hes looking for an excuse to have you close w

ithout complications. So, be his friend. He likes you, he will eventually crack,
okay?
But I dont want to be his friend.
I know that and I bet he really doesnt want that either but you have to be smart,
Jules. Having him close can provide you from a lot of opportunities to tease him
, to make him jealous until he finally finds the courage to tell you the way he
truly feels about you.
I sighed, burying myself deeper in my seat.
Sounds easier said than done, I commented, rubbing my face.
Trust me on this, okay?
Okay, I agreed, starting to text him back.
Me: Okay, Evan, we will be friends.
Him: Really?
Me: Yeah.
Him: Im really sorry.
Me: ?
Him: For hurting you.
His apology warmed my heart.
Me: Its cool.
Him: I really didnt mean to.
Me: I know.
Ask him if hes going to the festival. Laus voice filled the silent car.
Me: Are you going to the festival tomorrow?
Him: No.
Me: Thats too bad.
Him: Why? Are you going?
Me: Yeah.
Him: I guess I could drop by for a few minutes.
A smile crept to my lips.
Me: Sounds cool.
Him: Ive got something for you.
Me: Really?
Him: Yes, its kind of an apology present or something like that.

Me: Thats sweet but you didnt need to buy me anything.

Him: I know but I wanted to.
Me: Alright, you can give it to me tomorrow then.
I bit my lower lip.
Him: Okay, peachy girl ;)
I smiled like a fool, shaking my head. His nicknames were so weird.
Me: Ill see you tomorrow, dark poet.
Him: Ill be the one with the killing body and handsome face ;)
I laughed loudly.
Me: Right (rolls eyes)
It felt so good to talk to him. It made me feel better even though wed just agree
d to be friends. Lau was right; I needed to find a way to get him to open up to
me. Pushing him had definitely not worked so now I would try being his friend. I
t wasnt going to be easy but I could least try, right?
That festival was going to be interesting.

A/N: Heya! The world is ending! You gotta vote NOW! Haha jk jk. I laugh so much
reading your comments. They are so contradictory like "I love Evan!" and then ne

My Wattpad Love
Chapter 28
Two words.
Bathing suits.
I d never felt comfortable wearing them. Seriously, what s the different between
them and underwear? None. So excuse me if I wasn t a fan of walking basically i
n my underwear around people. Besides, you need a lot of self confidence to wear
a bathing suit.

Even though, my protests and good arguments against those things, Lau made me we
ar one. She said everyone was going to be wearing them at the festival. Let me t
ell you something, my best friend was as stubborn as me, if not more.
So here I was, sitting on Jordan s car backseat wearing blue shorts, a loose whi
te t-shirt and a dark blue bathing suit beneath. Lau said it matched my eyes. Sh
e also had straightened my brown hair making it curly at the ends. I felt good a
bout my looks today. Jordan was the designed driver for the day; Lau was of cou
rse sitting next to him. And guess who was being my company on the backseat?
Yeah, you guessed it right.
Jerkpid.
Shane was looking all hot with his jean shorts and green t-shirt but that didn t
surprise me. Somehow, I d grown used to be around him and his hotness.
"Here we go!" Jordan exclaimed enthusiastically as he started driving into the r
oad.
"Yeah!" Lau was as enthusiastic as her boyfriend. I, on the other hand, was kind
of nervous about seeing Evan again "Take us there, babe!" Lau cheered leaning t
o kiss Jordan. He leaned to her and kissed her back.
"Hey!" I pressed my hand on Lau s forehead to push her away from Jordan "Could y
ou just not make out while driving, please?" They both laughed. Lau looked reall
y good. She was only wearing shorts and the top part of her bathing suit. She ha
d enough self-confidence to go around like that unlike me. Her hair was in a pon
y tail and she had sunglasses on. She turned her head to me and flashed me a smi
le.
"You look kind of pale." she commented "You definitely need some sun." I glared
at her. Shane snickered beside me. Was he still weird with me like last time I s
aw him?
"I can t wait to see you without all that clothes, Jones." Shane said, smirking
at me.
No, he was definitely same old Shane.
"I prefer keeping my clothes on, thank you very much." I stated bluntly folding
my arms across my chest. I could feel Shane s eyes on me.
"And exactly what s your plan?" He asked crawling closer to me "Get in the river
fully dressed and make a fool of yourself?"
"Who says I m getting in the river?" I shrugged my shoulders. Lau and Jordan wer
e talking, ignoring us.
"Well,", Shane s breath was tickling my ear "You ll be wet by the end of the day
, Jones. I can assure you that." I shivered. I looked at him, which was a grave
mistake. He was too close for my liking. His green feline eyes stared right into
mine intensively. I pushed his chest.
"Back off, Jerkpid!" I covered my mouth as I said it. Shane cocked an eyebrow.
"What did you just call me?" The amusement in his voice was annoying.
"Nothing," I mumbled looking at the window. It was sunny outside. It was a great
day for the festival.

"Jerkpid?" Shane asked amusedly "Gotta admit you re creative, babe," I snapped m
y head towards him.
"Don t call me babe,"
"You know you like it." he teased, cupping my cheek.
"I don t," I slapped his hand. He chuckled and grasped a lock of my hair to play
with. Having him this close was making me nervous.
"Leave her alone, man." Jordan chimed in glancing at us through the rear-mirror.
Shane let go of my hair and raised his hands in peace.
"Fine," he gave me my space and I was thankful for it.
"Thank you, Jordan." I smiled at him through the rear mirror.
"No problem."
The rest of the ride was kind of fun. Jordan was really funny. Even though his
okes were lame. The way he told them made us all burst into laughter. I couldn
help noticing how his eyes glowed whenever he glanced at Lau. He really liked
er, I could tell. Shane, on the other hand, wouldn t stop making fun of me and
y shyness.

By the time we arrived to the festival, I was fuming about some joke Shane made
about my hair. Yeah, my hair was a very sensitive subject for me and he knew it.
I jumped off the car but was suddenly overwhelmed by the view. This festival se
emed to be a very big deal.
The river was wide and mighty, surrounded by tall trees. Its water was a combina
tion of blue and green. There were balloons tied to the trees and a big sign tha
t said "welcome to River Town s festival" I gawked at a decorated wooden bridge
that crossed the river. There were people at both sides. The sun was bright up i
n the sky, making the water crystalline; you could see the bottom of the river i
n the shallow parts. Wow, there was a lot of people here, most of them teenagers
. There were booths all around as if it was a carnival. I wondered what they wer
e selling in them.
"You like it?" Lau asked wrapping an arm around my shoulders. I nodded, closing
my mouth. I noticed all the girls walking around in their bathing suits. There w
ere shirtless boys with plastic glass in their hands. This looked more like a pa
rty than a festival. The music was pretty loud. Shane appeared at my side, strec
heting his arms.
"Ready to get loose, babe?" he asked grasping the hem of his t-shirt to pull it
over his head. Unconsciously, my eyes roamed around his biceps, chest and eightpack. It was understandable why he was the school s player, I mean, with that ma
rvelous body he could easily be a model "Stop raping me with your eyes, Jones,"
his arrogant voice snapped me out of my inappropriate thoughts. I blushed lookin
g at my other side where Laura was watching me with a diverted expression. She w
iggled her eyebrows.
"He s hot, isn t he?" she whispered conspiratorially.
"Yeah," I admitted smiling shyly. Jordan pushed us apart to get between us.
"Are you ready, ladies?" he grinned at the sight "The river looks good. Let s go
!" he wrapped his arms around both us to pull us forward. Remember I had no ski

lls whatsoever when it came to walk on a rocky surface? Well, river banks are us
ually rocky so yeah, you get the picture.
It was a good thing Jordan was a fast catcher otherwise I would ve ended up fall
ing too many times to count. The worst part was that we weren t even half of way
and I was already breathing heavily as if I ran a marathon. Walking on a rocky
surface should be a sport, enough said! Shane was laughing at me, of course, the
entire way. I wanted to glare at him but I couldn t take my eyes off the rocks.
We stopped walking because Lau wanted to take her short off. I rested my hands
on my knees trying to catch my breath.
I hate rocks!
Maybe, they hated me. It could be a mutual thing.
"My stomach hurts," Shane said caressing his abs
"I think I laughed enough for the day," he approached to me with long strides. H
e didn t seem to mind the rocks "come here, clumsy girl," I scowled at him.
"What ar-Ah!" Shane lifted me to carry me bridal style "Put me down!" I exclaime
d embarrassed.
"No," he started moving to the river.
"Shane! Put me down!" I pushed his chest, feeling the muscles beneath. He looked
down at me and grinned.
"That way, you won t ruin my day by falling and hitting your head,", he explaine
d casually. I glared at him but he simply winked at me.
"I hate you,".
"Hate is a powerful feeling, I can work with that,". I decided to ignore him the
rest of the way.
When we finally got to the river bank, Shane put me down. I took a step away fro
m him and folded my arms across my chest. I could feel the sand getting in my sa
ndals.
"You re an ungrateful little minion," he shook his head, poking my forehead.
"Little minion?"
"Yes, you re not the only one creative in this relationship, babe,"
"There s no relationship here!" I gestured both of us "and stop calling me babe,
"
"Whatever you say," he waved me off, shrugging.
If looks could kill...

"Yoho!" Lau showed up in all her almost naked glory. Jordan was already shirtles
s, holding his girlfriend s hand possessively.
"Hey, you made it," Jordan ruffled my hair as if I was a child. I gave him a clo
sed mouth smile.

"Why do you still have your clothes on?", Lau asked, tugging my t-shirt. I ran m
y fingers through my hair.
"I..." I trailed off "I ll take them off later,"
"Water is going to be too cold later, Jules," Lau assured "right now, it s the p
erfect time to go for a swim," I ran out of arguments therefore I slowly took my
t-shirt off. I could feel my flaming cheeks as I kept my hands over my chest tr
ying to cover myself. I didn t have big boobs, they weren t too small either, th
ey could fill a hand I guess "that s better!" Lau encouraged "Let s go!" she sai
d heading to the river, pulling Jordan with her. I wasn t getting in the river a
nytime soon so I sat on a rock. Sunlight was brushing my skin, warming me up.
Ah! This feels good.
A red headed came closer and started talking to Shane, flirting with him shamele
ssly. I rolled my eyes, typical. My phone buzzed in shorts pocket. I took it out
nervously. I knew it was a text from Evan. How did I know? Add it to the list o
f mysteries in Julie Ann Jones life. However, I was not expecting to read these
words.
Blue suits you :)
Oh God! He saw me?!
I was officially looking like a tomato right now. I lifted my gaze and scanned t
he crowd surrounding the river but didn t see him.
Me: Where are u?
Him: Planet Earth :)
I narrowed my eyes at my phone s screen.
Me: Ha! Hilarious.
Him: Cross the bridge ;)
What? I looked at the wooden decorated bridge, it wasn t that far. I checked the
way and it only had sand so phew! No more rocks.
Me: Okay.
I shoved my phone inside my pockets, took my sandals off and started walking thr
ough the sandy riverbank. Shane seemed too busy to notice my sudden depart. I ke
pt my eyes on the sand, trying to be invisible. I should ve have put my t-shirt
on again. I couldn t believe I d left it on some random rock. I embraced myself
and rubbed my arms. The view from the bridge was breathtaking. You could see al
l the way up the river and the bright sun shielded by mountains. The sound of wa
ter running was refreshing. A cool breeze brushed my hair softly. it was so good
to be out of my house. This place was pretty cool.
As soon as my feet landed on the other side of the river, I texted Evan asking h
im where he was again.
Him: Walk deeper into the woods..
Me: What direction?

Him: Just walk straight :)

This side of the river wasn t as rocky as the other. The sand felt soft under my
bare feet. I was soon swallowed by tall trees that hid the sun from me. I stopp
ed on my tracks realizing I was far enough from civilization to be worried about
my safety. What if I got the wrong direction? What if got lost? What if there w
as an angry panda waiting for me there?
There are no pandas here, dumb-ass! My inner voice snapped at me. I heard some
noise behind me so I turned on my heels in a fast move.
Nothing...
"Evan?" I called him out because I was starting to get scared. Who am I kidding?
I was one minute from running away like a scared puppy. Yeah, I wasn t a brave
person besides, I d watched too much discovery channel to know there could be a
snake waiting to inject its poison in my bare feet or an angry bear looking for
food. Something warm was wrapped around my waist so I screamed but my mouth was
soon covered. the familiar smell of lavender softener hit my nostrils... Evan. H
e let me go and I turned around angrily, ready to yell at him for scaring me lik
e that. But when my eyes landed on his handsome face, I was speechless. He was w
earing a sleeveless black t-shirt, shorts and black converses. His hair was tous
led giving him a sexy disheveled look. The tattoo on his neck was visible, addin
g more to his bad boy appearance. I looked into his dark eyes and swallowed.
"You re not really brave, are you?" he teased, smiling. Oh God, the dimples on h
is cheeks formed taking my breath away.
"I..."
Breathe, Jules.
"You scared me!" I accused trying to sound angry but failing miserably. How coul
d I be angry at him when he smiled like that? that wasn t fair! He should be ban
ned for smiling. Evan chuckled.
"It s not my fault you re a chicken,"
"I m not a chicken!", I retorted folding my arms across my chest, causing Evan s
gaze to drop to my boobs for a slight second before going up to my face again.
Damn! I forgot I was shirtless. My cheeks reddened as I tried to compose myself.
"You re going for a swim?", he asked, tilting his head to the side.
"Not really,"
"Why not?"
"Well... swimming is not my thing," I lied. Truth was, I couldn t swim but It s
not like I m telling him that. I mean, he lived in River town, swimming was prob
ably natural for him. Evan narrowed his eyes at me, as if he was scrutinizing me
.
"You can t swim, can you?" how did he know? Arh! I really sucked at lying. I sho
ok my head ashamed "That s not bad. It only means I have more to teach you," he
smirked. My heart skipped a beat.
"More to teach me?"

"Yeah,". he took a step closer. I had to tilt my head back to look at him.
"So now you re the experienced bad boy," I said mocking seriousness.
"More like the experienced good-looking bad boy,". his arrogance made me roll my
eyes.
"Get over yourself," I poked his chest playfully. He held my hand, the contact s
ent shivers through me. I retracted my hand, smiling nervously "So, any particul
ar reason you brought me to this isolated place?"
"Yes, I m going to kill you," he affirmed hiding a smile "I must say, you were v
ery easy to catch,"
"You re going to kill me and throw my body in the river?" I asked shaking my hea
d disapprovingly
"That s so cliche"
"Life is a big walking cliche, peachy girl," his hand cupped my cheek. I swallow
ed.
"Why are we here?" I sounded a little bit breathless.
"Close your eyes," his thumb caressed my cheek gently. I did as I was told "Give
me your hand,". Slowly, I lifted my hand. He held it opened and placed somethin
g cold on my palm. Curiosity was getting the best of me. I was struggling not to
see what it was. "Open your eyes, Jules," he whispered looming over me. As soon
as I opened my eyes, I looked at my hand and gasped. There was a beautiful gold
en necklace on it. It had a big strawberry shaped pendant. I covered my mouth w
ith my free hand, hiding the dreamy smile on my lips "I m truly sorry," he said,
honesty dripping from his tongue.
"Wow... this is...." I didn t know what to say. I wasn t used to get presents. I
didn t expect Evan to have such a detailed gesture.
"Check the inscription," he spoke excitedly. I grasped the medium size strawberr
y pendant and turned it over to read the inscription. It read:
To the beautiful
Mrs. Strawberry
E.W.
My heart melted inside my chest. How could he do things like this and expect me
to be his friend? No one had ever given me something like this before. It was so
meaningful. it wasn t just some random necklace. He found a way to make it uniq
ue, to relate it to me. I looked up at him. He was giving me a genuine smile. I
wanted to close that space between us and pressed my lips against his, I wanted
to show him how much he meant to me, to let him know how much I cared about him.
I knew he had internal conflicts, i knew he was troubled guy but I didn t care.
I would do the impossible to remove that sadness from his eyes. Even when he wa
s smiling I could clearly see the hidden sadness in the depth of his eyes... it
was almost imperceptible.
"Did you like it?" his question interrupted my thoughts. I blinked getting back
to reality.
"I love it...It s beautiful," I answered frankly. He took the necklace from my p

alm to put on my neck gently. The cold gold met my bare skin, I couldn t help sh
ivering. Evan took a step backwards and grinned.
"It looks great on you,"
"Thank you," I mumbled with a flustered face "This is... really sweet of you,".
He scratched the back of his head.
"Yeah, I guess your sweetness is contagious," he stated, making a disgusted face
. I punched his shoulder.
"Silly dark poet!" I exclaimed playfully.
"Naive cheesy writer," He stuck his tongue out at me.
"Oh, very mature, huh?" Evan opened his mouth to say something but then someone
else spoke.
"Finally!" I turned around to find Shane. He was dripping wet "I ve been looking
for you everywhere, babe," Evan tensed up at the word babe he glanced at me c
onfused as if wondering did he just call you babe?
"I told you not to call me ba-"
"Hey, man," Shane shook Evan s hand interrupting me.
"Hey," Evan s voice was back to cold. It wasn t the same excited playful voice a
nymore.
"So what were you guys doing?" Shane asked wrapping an arm around my shoulder, g
etting my side damp in a matter of seconds. I tried to push him off but he simpl
y held me tightly against him. I gazed at Evan. His expression was unreadable bu
t he was clenching his fists at his sides.
"Take your hands off her," Evan hissed through clenched teeth, surprising me.
"Excuse me?" Shane played the fool.
"I said," Evan s biceps were tensed, I swear I could see his veins bulging out o
f his skin "Take your hands off her," he repeated deliberately slow.
"And if I don t?" Shane challenged. Evan s pressed his lips in a tight line "You
re going to make me?" Shane pulled me tighter against him. I struggled to get l
oose.
"Let her go," Evan demanded dangerously.
"Or what, freak?", Shane said, snarling.
"Shane!" I protested not liking where this was going.
"Don t provoke me," Evan menaced, anger plastered on his face.
"I m not afraid of you," Shane shrugged.
"You should be,"
"Oh yeah?" Shane s voice was getting serious "You lost your turn, loser, she s m
ine now,"

"What?" I looked at Shane shocked.

And then everything happened so fast my brain barely had time to register everyt
hing. Evan launched towards Shane, pushing him backwards getting me out of the w
ay. Then, his fist connected with Shane s face hard. I was too shock to move, I
was paralyzed. Shane fell to the ground, his nose was bleeding. Oh my God! E
van got on top of him and straddled him. I held my chest scared. Violence had al
ways scared the hell out of me. Evan started punching Shane over and over again.
the sound each punch produced was making me sick.
"No!" I yelled shaking. I knew I had to do something. "Evan! Stop! No!" I came c
loser to them and was horrified to see the mess Shane s face was turning into. H
e was barely conscious "No, Evan! Don t!" I knelt next to them. Evan seemed lost
in his own rage "Stop! Please!" I begged. I held his fist in the air catching h
is attention. Evan looked at me. His expression went from anger, to realization
and finally regret. His knuckles were stained with blood: Shane s blood. Evan di
dn t seem to know what to say.
"Oh God!" I exclaimed, letting go of his hand. He got off Shane so I leaned forw
ards my injured friend "Shane? Can you hear me?" I hadn t noticed the tears roll
ing down my face.
"Ow!" was all Shane managed to utter as I helped him sit up.
"Oh God! Are you okay?" I tried to clean his face with shaky hands.
"Never been better," Shane s sarcastic remark was prove he was okay. He got on h
is feet, holding his nose.
"Shane?" I was so worried. He ignored me and stared at Evan.
"This isn t over," he promised as he started walking away. He was probably going
to clean his face off in the river.
What the hell just happened?

I turned to face Evan.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I screamed at him angrily. Evan kept his gaz
e on the ground. I pushed his chest "You could have killed him!"
"He started it," Evan looked up at me, his voice cold and unnerving.
"He was joking! He s Shane! He s always joking!" I explained exasperated.
"He wasn t joking!" Evan s tone rose "Can t you see the way he looks at you?"
"What the hell are you talking about? Apologize to him!" I ordered.
"No, he got what he deserved!"
"What is your problem?!"
"He is a jerk and you know it!"
"So what? that doesn t give you the right to beat the crap out of him! That s ju
st wrong!"
"What about the things he does? they are not wrong?" I frowned in confusion "you
know exactly what he did to Melissa. Is that what you want for yourself?"
"So this is about Melissa?", I asked hurt.

"No, this is about you. I won t let him play with you,"
"He s not going to play with me! He s my friend!"
"He wants you!" Evan hissed "It s obvious, you re just to naive to notice,"
"He doesn t..." I trailed off taking in his words, "and what if he does want me?
Why do you care? As far as I know, you only want to be my friend,"
"I m your friend. That s why I get to worry about you, that guy will only hurt y
ou,"
"He won t. He s not like you," The words left my mouth before I could stop them.
Evan s face contorted in hurt "I m sorry... I didn t mean... I..."
"It s fine. You re right," my chest tightened.
"I really didn t mean to say that," I looked for his eyes but he kept them every
where but me. He turned around and held his head.
"You should go back to your friends,"
"No," this wasn t over. Not like this.
"Jules, just go," he turned to me. We locked gazes; my chest was rising and fall
ing due to my heavy breathing. We were both angry but there was something else f
lowing around us: Tension. I felt like there was an electric pull between us. Al
l I wanted to do was close that space and kiss him with everything I had. Someho
w I knew he wanted the same.
And there we stood, staring into each other s eyes, holding ourselves back. Evan
took one step closer; I swallowed feeling my dry throat.
"You have to go before I do something stupid," his voice was a soft whisper now.
"No," I took one step forwards.
"Jules..." a shiver traveled down my spine. My name sounded so good in that sexy
voice of his. He took three long strides towards me, until we were mere inches
from each other. He held my face with both hands and rested his forehead on mine
. His ragged breath fanned my lips teasingly. God, I d never wanted something so
bad as I wanted him to kiss me.
"I won t let him have you,"
"Why?" I looked right into his dark eyes.
"Because you re mine"

My Wattpad Love
Chapter 29
To say I was speechless was the biggest understatement of my life. I was dumbfou
nded, shocked, wordless and many other adjectives that represent bewilderment an
d surprise. I wasn t even sure I was still breathing. Evan s face remained so cl
ose to mine, our breaths were mixing together. I just needed to move one inch cl
oser and I would be kissing him.
Because you re mine...
God, those words had sent shivers through my entire body. My breath had become u
nsteady; my heart was racing unhealthily inside my chest. Evan pressed his foreh
ead against mine while his warm thumbs were caressing my cheeks gently. I wanted
to kiss him so bad, it was killing me. Our noses touched, our lips were merely
an inch apart. My lips parted yearning to feel his. My eyes looked for his, they
looked darker than usual. I stared into them wondering, Why arent you kissing me?
The answer was obvious and it hit me like a bucket of cold water.
He wasn t going to kiss me. He wanted me to do it so he could be free of blame f
or misleading me again. He wanted me to cross that line of friendship he had dra
wn between us. The line he had definitely pierced with his entire You re mine
statement because last time I checked, friends don t own each other.
So where was he going with this? Understanding Evan could be extremely hard and
exhausting. He couldn t just pretend to be my friend and then get me to kiss him
. Somehow, he knew I wouldn t be able to resist him. He knew I was crazy about h
im and that put me in disadvantage. No matter how bad I wanted to kiss him -beca
use I was honestly dying to- I knew I couldn t. I d kissed him twice in my life
and he ended up running after leaving me heartbroken. So yeah, I was crazy about
the guy but I wasn t stupid or a masochist.
It s like Albert Einstein said: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results"
I couldn t keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome. Things need
ed to change for good. However, having him so close to me was incredibly temptin
g. The warmth coming from his body was dragging me to him. My love intoxicated h

eart was yelling at me to kiss him, to hug him but my mind thought otherwise. Li
stening to my heart hadn t actually earned me good results thereby it was time t
o listen to my brain.
Ignoring my body s protests, I placed my hands on Evan s chest and using all my
self-control, I pushed him backwards. I instantly felt cold without his touch. I
lifted my gaze to look at him. He seemed surprise but he quickly covered it up
with a cold expression.
"I m not yours," I forced the words out of my mouth. The whole sentence was a bl
atant lie because deep down, I was already his even when he hadn t even asked me
out. Evan watched me in silence for a few seconds. I swallowed, trying to keep
my strong pose. His shoulders relaxed as he shove his hands inside his pockets.
"You re right," he stated nonchalantly. "I m sorry."
So he wasn t going to fight for me anymore, was he? I folded my arms across my c
hest.
"Don t apologize to me, apologize to Shane." His expression hardened.
"No."
I crossed my arms."Yes."
"That s not gonna happen, Jules." There goes a shiver...
Why was it that I always got that goose bumps whenever he said my name?
Because you re possibly falling in love with him! My bold inner voice snapped at m
e. I mentally rolled my eyes before getting back to the situation at hand.
"You need to apologize, it wasn t right to beat the crap out of Shane like that.
" I said calmly.
"I can t apologize." he said with finality.
"Then, I guess we are done here." I said with all the coldness I could muster. "
Thanks for the necklace." I gave him a closed mouth smile and turned on my feet.
As I started walking away, I could feel my heartbeat in my ears and throat.
One

Three... steps.
Wasn t he going to stop me?
Four...

My plan sucks.

I should stop counting my steps.

Albert Einstein had definitely not met Evan when he said that stuff about doing
things differently cause it wasn t really working for me.
Ten
I should ve kissed him.
Eleven
At least I would be walking away with the memory of his lips against mine instea
d of feeling genuinely stupid.
Twelve
Seriously, I need to stop counting. He s not gonna stop me.
Thirteen.
I blame it on all those romantic movies where the guy always stops the girl.
Fourteen.
Fif"Jules, wait!" Did I hear him right? "Hey, wait!" He grabbed my arm turning me t
o him. I faced him trying to hide the relief within me.
Play it cool, Jules.
"What?" I asked, lifting my chin proudly.
"I will do it." he said defeated.
"You will do...?" I played the fool. Evan narrowed his eyes at me.
"I will apologize to him."
"That means you know what you did was wrong, right?" Evan gave me a flat look.
"I m trying here, okay?" he stated annoyed.
"Fine." I gave him a toothy grin, savoring my partial victory.
Thank you, Albert Einstein.
"Are we cool?" he wondered, watching me carefully.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Good." His lips formed a lop-sided smirk. One of his dimples formed on his righ
t cheek almost breaking my determination.
"Good." I unfolded my arms, letting them fall at my sides. Evan s smile turned i
nto a full smirk.

"You look cute when you re angry." he smiled, pinching my nose. I chuckled.
"You re a bipolar jerk, you know that, don t you?" I stated frankly.
He shrugged "Maybe."
"Maybe?" I cocked an eyebrow. He nodded.
"Yeah." He ran his fingers through his midnight black hair, rolling his lower li
p into his mouth "Would you give this bipolar jerk a hug?" he pouted.
"A hug?" I was taken aback by his request.
"Uhum." He gave me a puppy look "That way, I can know if I am truly forgiven."
He extended his arms towards me. I wavered. God, he looked so adorable but I did
n t know if I could resist to having him so close to me again.
"Apologize to Shane and I will give you all the hugs you want." I traded, avoidi
ng the hug because right now, I couldn t have him close to me again. I had to wa
it for my self-control to reload. Evan shook his head disappointed.
"You re mean."
"I m being fair so let s go, impulsive boxer, apologizing time." I gestured him
to the way back to the bridge. "And to pay for all the trouble you caused, you r
e giving me a piggyback." Ok, maybe I was taking advantage of the situation but
hey, it wasn t everyday Evan was this submissive. He grinned at me.
"Deal." he said giving his back to me, bending forwards slightly "Get on, mistre
ss."
I glared at the back of his head. Slowly, I approached him and crawled on his ba
ck, wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. Evan held me
up as if I weighted nothing. Jeez, I forgot how tall he was. When he lifted me,
the ground looked far away. If I fell, it would be very painful.
"I won t let you fall." he assured, probably sensing my fear. My almost naked t
orso was pressed against his back and even though he was fully dressed, I could
feel the heated skin beneath his t-shirt. He smelled so good. I struggled not to
sniff on his hair and neck.
"Go!" I encouraged him to move. Evan laughed softly before starting to walk towa
rds the decorated bridge. In this position, I could take a better look at his ta
ttoo. I studied the perfect curvy dark lines on his skin. It looked so professio
nal. I felt like it had some tribal meaning.
"Why so quiet?" Evan asked glancing at me over his shoulder "Are you having a pa
nic attack?"
"No, I just..." I knew the tattoo was a sensitive subject for him so I pushed aw
ay the questions about it. "I m admiring the sights." I lied burying my face in
his hair, sniffing a little. I couldn t help it. It was so soft.
"Are you sniffing on my hair?"
"What? Psssh! Of course not!" I replied exaggeratedly.
"Right." he mumbled as we crossed the bridge. The sun was nowhere to be found. C
louds were masking the once bright blue sky. Was it going to rain? Seriously? Th
e day had started so good for the festival.

Anyway, I scanned the crowd looking for my friends. I spotted Laura sitting on t
he rock inside the river. Jordan was swimming around her.
Where was Shane? As if on cue, Shane emerged from the water taking a deep breath
in. Every girl in a 10 meter radius was gawking at him as he ran both of his ha
nds through his hair, water droplets were rolling down his muscled chest, six-pa
ck, and finally got lost down the defined V in his lower abdomen. As for his fac
e, it didn t look so bad now that he had no trace of blood on it. However, his n
ose looked red and swollen, a bruise was starting to form around his left eye. T
his was the second time I d seen Shane beaten up. The first time was in that par
ty at Jordan s place. That seemed so long ago.
"There they are!" I pointed my friends out to Evan. He simply strode towards the
direction I pointed. He dropped me gently when we reached the river bank "Hey!
Guys!" I called them out waving my hand at them to get their attention. Lau was
the first one to spot me.
"Hey!" she waved her hand back at me and then her eyes landed on Evan. She grinn
ed knowingly. "Hey, Evan!"
"Hi," Evan whispered shyly. Shane noticed the commotion and looked at us. He gla
red openly at Evan. I felt Evan stiffened next to me.
Ugh, this is awkward.
"Shane!" I shouted his name, getting his attention. "Can you come here for a sec
, please?" I watched him hesitate for a second before swimming his way over to u
s. Dripping wet, he got out of the river and stood in front of us. As soon as I
got both of them to face each other, I knew this was a bad a idea. Shane was sho
oting daggers at Evan, he was obviously still pissed at him.
Alright, I need to solve this maturely.
"Shane, Evan has something to say." I stated awkwardly. Shane cocked his head wa
iting. Evan remained in silence "Evan?" I reminded him.
"I m sorry, dude." Evan said expressionless. I gestured for him to continue. "I
m sorry for beating you up." Shane scoffed.
"You didn t beat me up. You punched like a girl."
"Shane." I warned him, getting between them.
"Oh, really?" Evan inquired arrogantly.
"Ok, ok, that s enough." I stated nervously. It was hard to breathe through the
tension between those two. I looked for Lau around the river for help. We exchan
ged gazes and she understood I needed her. I think that is one of the greatest t
hing of having a best friend, you can speak to them with just a simple look.
"Hey, guys!" Lau exclaimed getting out of the river "Why don t we go for a swim?
" she wrapped her arm around Shane s arm "Come on, Shane." she pulled at him. Sh
ane didn t budge for a second, glaring at Evan but then he gave up and let Lau d
rag him back into the river. I let out a sigh of relief.
"He s a jerk." Evan muttered. I glanced at him.
"Yeah, but he s not a bad guy," I said, watching Lau and Shane diving in the wat
er.

"How can you say that?" Evan wondered. I could feel his eyes on me.
"I don t know... he can be..." I trailed off, remembering all those times Shane
d been there for me. Remembering that time he failed math because of me. The mem
ories brought a smile to my lips "He s just... Shane." I shrugged.
"Do you like him?" Evan asked, his voice restrained. I snapped my head towards
him taken aback by his question. I frowned.
"That s none of your business." I stated, averting my gaze. Shane was attractive
but I d never thought of him in a romantic way. We were too different for that.
Shane was my friend, that was all. Nevertheless, I wasn t going to tell Evan tha
t. I wanted him curious about the entire Shane subject.
"I thought we were friends." Evan murmured.
"We are."
"Then why can t you tell me if you like him?" he pressed.
"Why do you care?" I looked at him defiantly. He shrugged.
"I m curious, that s all." He shoved his hands inside his pockets. "I just hope
you re smart enough not to fall for his looks."
"I m good; you don t need to worry about me." I said simply.
"I can see that." There was a glint of need in his dark eyes. A clap of thunder
made me jump slightly. Then, it began to drizzle. Cold raindrops started touchin
g my bare torso, making me shiver. Everyone with dry clothes on rushed to the pa
rking lot to their cars. Lau emerged from the water. Her eyes widened when she n
oticed the rain.
"Jules!" She cried out. "Our phones! Please take them to the car before they get
wet!" She pointed towards their clothes; they were lying on a rock.
"Ok!" I picked up her shorts, Jordan s and Shane s t-shirts. I wrapped the cloth
es around the phones to protect them. I looked up the rocky way to the parking
lot. Ok, that was not going to be easy.
"You need help?" Evan asked knowingly. I glanced at him, he was smiling at me.
"No." I replied securely.
I can do this. If I manage to resist kissing Evan a few minutes ago, I could def
initely do this.
Believe it or not, I did it. I managed to run through the rocks without falling.
The drizzle was turning slowly into heavy rain. Evan was following right behind
me, as if he was waiting to catch me if I fell. We reached the parking lot s en
trance when a familiar voice screamed my name loudly. I looked behind me to see.
..
"Jason?" I knew he would come to the festival but I hadn t seen him around.
"I... need... to... talk... to you..." he said panting.
"This is not the best time, I have-"

"I can take the phones to my car if you want." Evan offered, noticing the despai
r on my best friend s face.
"Okay." I gave him the clothes and phones.
"I ll wait for you in the car, it s right there." Evan pointed his black car out
before walking off. It was already raining heavily when I looked at Jason.
"This better be good." I warned, getting damp as I said it. Jason was resting hi
s hand on his knees, trying to recover his breath. He looked up at me.
"Helen..." He sounded breathless. "We re kind of back together."
"That s good. But, I don t know if youve noticed that it s pouring with rain! You
could ve waited to tell me that!" Jason straightened his body. He was shirtless
.
"I know. The thing is that she s been acting weird and I..." I couldn t hear the
rest. The rain was so heavy, it was getting hard to see or hear through it.
"What?" I shouted.
"I said..."
"I can t hear you!" I screamed, frustrated. Raindrops were getting in my mouth a
s I spoke. I spit them out, cleaning off my face. Jason stepped closer.
"I said I..."
"What?!"
"She... know... I... how..." All I got were fractions of words that made no sens
e. Jason must ve seen the confusion on my face because he wrapped an arm around
my waist, pulling me to him and leaned into my ear. "I said that I think she lik
es me." His warm breath gave me goosebumps. It was freezing out here.
"We already knew that." I said annoyed. Jason s body was pressed against mine ke
eping me warm. Anyone could have thought we were a couple, making out under the
rain.
"No, you don t understand." Jason spoke softly in my ear. "I mean, she really li
kes me."
"I don t get it." He sighed frustrated. The flow of air tickled my neck. I giggl
ed.
"It s not funny, Jules." he groaned.
"I know. I wasn t---Never mind. What s the problem?"
"I think she wants us to be official. You know, to have a relationship and all t
hat crap." I grinned.
"And?"
"I don t know what to do."
"Cause I ll never be with you." I sang, quoting James Blunt s song
iful . Jason pinched my waist.

You re Beaut

"I m being serious here."

"Fine, Mr. Seriousness. What did she say?"
"She asked me if I wanted to take our thing to the next level." he shrugged.
"And what did you say?" I coaxed.
"That I needed to pee." I rolled my eyes, laughing loudly but Jason remained qui
et.
"Wait... Are you serious?" I asked in disbelief.
"I freak out, okay? She s waiting for me as we speak! You better tell me what to
do." he said.
"I can t do that. It s your choice to make." I ruffled his wet hair. "It s simpl
e. What do you want to do?"
"I don t know." he murmured.
"Then tell her you need time to think about it." I said, squeezing his hand reas
suringly.
"I can t leave her hanging like that. You should have seen her face; she was so
scared of my reaction." he said, his eyes misting over as he remembered her expr
ession.
"Poor her! I wish I could tell you what to do but It s your choice, Jason." I sm
iled sadly.
"I know." He sighed, making me giggle again. "I just don t want any complication
s."
"Do you like her?" I asked.
"Yeah." he said with no hesitation.
"Is it just physical or is there something more between you?"
"I don t know." he shrugged.
"I don t know." I mimicked his words, holding his face to look at him. "You, my
friend, need to make up your mind." He smiled sadly at me.
"My head is a mess."
"You re gonna be fine." I assured, caressing his face.
"You really think so?" He looked so hopeless, so vulnerable. I pulled him into a
tight hug.
"Yeah, you re a good boy." I was nothing but frank. We both pulled away. "Just h
old her close, look into her eyes and then you ll know exactly what to do." I ga
ve him the wisest piece of advice I could think of. "Now, go back to her. She s
probably thinking she scared you away."
"Thank you." He gave me a genuine smile which I quickly returned.
"Go!" I shooed him, pushing his chest facetiously. He grinned, turned on his fee

t and left. I was glad he finally left, mostly because I was freezing my butt of
f out here. Rubbing my arms, I scanned the almost empty parking lot to find Evan
s car. When I spotted it, I rushed towards it. Evan was inside looking warm and
cozy while I was shaking uncontrollably outside the passengers door. He pushed t
he door opened for me.
"Get in!" he ordered loudly.
"But I m dripping wet! I ll ruin your seat!" Evan rolled his eyes.
"Just get in before you freeze to death!"
"No."
"Jules." he warned. "I ll drag you inside if it s necessary."
His tone was mandatory. I was sure my lips were turning purple. Reluctantly, I g
ot inside the car. The warmth welcomed me, calming my trembling hands and quiver
ing lips. I rubbed my hands together. It smelled really good in here, it smelled
like... Evan. I knew he was staring at me. I could feel it "Take this." he sai
d, offering me a blanket.
"Thanks." I grasped it, covering my frozen body. Silence reigned between us and
it suddenly became hard to breath. I could feel the tension forming in the air.
We re alone in his car... and it s raining.
Blood rushed to my cheeks as I remembered that passionate kiss we shared under t
he rain last week.
Don t think about it, Jules!
"Is Jason okay?" Evan s sexy voice broke the silence.
"Yeah." I nodded, averting his gaze.
"Jules." His voice was soft. "Look at me."
Nervously, I turned my head to him. We locked gazes and my heart skipped a beat.
God, he was so cute. Inevitably, my gaze dropped to his lips. Evan extended his
hand towards me; he cupped my cheek. My skin heated at his warm palm. I swallow
ed; everything about him was dragging me closer. His smell, his looks, his voice
, his thoughts, his poems... just everything. His eyes held so many emotions.
"Evan... I..." He pressed his index on my lips silencing me.
"I m sorry, Jules. I m truly sorry for hurting you." he whispered sincerely. " I
know I can be confusing. I don t want you thinking this is a game for me. I nev
er meant to play with you. I swear." I was shocked by his words.
"I just--", he leaned closer, "--I know Im not being fair to you. I m being a se
lfish bastard because I can t let you go even though that s the right thing to d
o."
"Evan, I-"
"I m not as strong as I thought I was." He cut me off gripping my face tightly.
"You re gonna have to be strong and stay away from me since I can t find the str
ength to get away from you."

He closed his eyes, our foreheads colliding together. The rain had stopped outsi
de the car. I could only hear our heavy breaths mixing since we were so close.
"But I-"
"You need to get out of the car now, Jules." he said softly.
"Why?"
"I won t be able to hold myself back for much longer." he breathed.
"What do you mean?"
"I want to kiss you so bad. I m dying to taste those sweet lips of yours again.
My hands are itching to touch you, to feel you." His words warmed my body. "So,
get away from me while you can."
How could I tell him I wanted the same thing? I opened my mouth to speak.
"Jules!" Jordan s voice made us both jump away from each other. It was like we w
ere in sort of trance and we snapped out of it. Jordan was knocking on my window
. I opened it.
"What?" I spat angrily.
"We have a problem, come out." he informed me, looking worried. I stepped out o
f the car worried. Did something happen to Laura?
"What s wrong? Where s Lau and Shane?"
"Shane left with some redhead and Lau is buying some souvenirs in the last booth
." Jordan s words calmed me "Well, the rain was pretty heavy."
"I know." I gave him a duh look. Evan joined us, interested in the conversation. H
e probably noticed Jordan s worried expression.
"Hey." Evan shook Jordan s hand.
"What s up, man?" Jordan smiled.
"What s wrong?" Evan asked straight-forwardly.
"Apparently, the rain was pretty intense and there was a collapse on the road. T
here s mud and a huge tree blocking the way back home." I opened my mouth surpri
se.
"Oh God!" I held my forehead. "What are we going to do? They re going to clean t
he road, I suppose, right?"
"Yeah, but, since it s nearly evening, the road won t be ready until tomorrow."
I blew a strand of wet hair out of my face.
"Great! Just great!" I exclaimed sarcastically. Lau strode towards us holding so
me bags. She didn t seem concerned about the entire road situation.
"Hey again." She greeted Evan. He simply smiled at her "So did you find a soluti
on, babe?" Jordan shook his head. "We can always stay in a hotel." she offered,
shrugging.
"Already called; they re full because of this entire festival event." Jordan ret

orted defeated. I rubbed my face with both hands thinking,

me .

Mom is going to kill

"Well, we could sleep in the car." Lau added trying to calm us down.
"And freeze to death?" I chimed in, annoyed. "Look at us! We re all damp and as
far as i know, we didn t bring any more clothes."
"Hey, don t get mad at me." she raised her hands in a peaceful sign. "This is no
t my fault."
"I m sorry." I apologized. "I m cold and hungry. Sorry for snapping at you." Lau
pinched my cheek.
"It s cool; our situation sucks."
"Yeah, it does." I agreed defeated.
"You could all stay over my place." The three of us snapped our heads towards Ev
an.
"Really?" Lau s face brightened up. I couldn t bring myself to say something.
"You sure, man?" Jordan asked cautiously.
"Yeah, my house is awfully big." Evan shrugged.
"Are you sure, man?" Jordan repeated his question "We don t want to intrude."
"It s cool, really. You can spend the night there and come back home when the ro
ad is ready tomorrow." Lau squealed excitedly and gave him a quick hug.
"Thank you." she grinned widely at him. "That s really nice of you."
"No problem." Evan glanced at me, probably expecting me to say something, but I
was mute. "I ll start the engine. You can follow me with your car, man." he said
to Jordan. "My house is not really that far from here."
"Okay." Jordan agreed walking to his car. Lau and I exchanged gazes.
"Go with him." Lau gestured me to Evan.
"No."
"Come on, Jules!"
"He said we should follow him;I m going with you guys." I stated stubbornly.
"Please. He s being really nice by letting us stay over his house. Keep him comp
any."
"Lau!"
"Go!" she pushed me towards his car. Growling in frustration, I walked with long
strides to Evan s car. He was already opening the driver s door. He spotted me
and smiled at me.
"You re coming with me?" he was amused.
"If you want to." I folded my arms across my chest. "If you don t, I can-"

"Don t be silly, get in." He jumped in the driver s seat. I remained still in fr
ont of the passenger s seat. Evan opened the door from the inside, pushing it op
ened for me.
"What are you waiting for?" he asked, leaning over my seat. I was nervous about
being alone again with him in his car after what happened a few minutes ago. Eva
n smirked up at me "Get in, I don t bite." he teased. "At least, not hard." he w
inked at me. My stomach did a major black flip. Swallowing my nervousness, I got
inside the car.
It was going to be a long night...

My Wattpad Love
Chapter 30
"Wow, he surely has a fine place," I heard Laura say as we all stood in front of
Evan s house. I couldn t agree more with her. We were facing a big two story ho
use with dark blue walls, white Victorian windows and a big front garden.

"Come on," Evan said walking past us. I stared at his back, swallowing hard. I c
ouldn t believe I was about to go in his house. I mean, he was the guy I met on
Wattpad. I never expected him to live thirty minutes away from my town, or to ha
ve these immense feelings towards him. When we were in the car, the tension had
been absolutely unbearable. It was a good thing he lived ten minutes away from t
he river, otherwise I wasn t sure I could have survived.
"Jules?" Lau waved her hand in front of my face "come on, move. It s freezing ou
t here." she gave me a little push.
We followed Evan through a path with small trees and flowers at both sides. I wa
s embracing myself, rubbing up my arms with my hands. It was already getting dar
k, and Lau was right, it was pretty cold here. Evan opened his front door and he
ld it opened for us. I was the last one to cross the door. He stared at me inten
sely as I passed him. We stepped inside the hall, and immediately I felt the war
mth receiving my cold body. I wondered if this was his parents house, but I kne
w I couldn t ask him that, at least not in front of Lau and Jordan.
Evan led us towards the living room. There were three huge brown couches, two la
mps, wooden framed paintings and a small fireplace. A curved wood-made staircase
was placed to our left. The entire place shouted warmth and comfort.
"Nice place, man," Jordan complimented checking our surroundings.
"Thanks," Evan mumbled shyly. We all stood there not knowing what to do.
Awkward much?
But of course, I had to be the one to break the uncomfortable silence. How? Snee
zing.
"Oh, you re probably all freezing," Evan realized, noticing our wet outfits "The
re s a bathroom down the hall," he pointed to our right.
"Jordan will take that one," Lau said pushing her boyfriend.
"No, babe, you go first," Jordan stated like a gentleman.
"You go, I m sure there s another bathroom here, right Evan?" Lau smiled at Evan
. What was she planning? I squinted at her.
"Yeah, there s actually two more upstairs," Evan replied hesitantly "One is in t
he hall and the other one is my room," Lau grinned like a Cheshire cat.
"I ll take the one in the hall if you don t mind," Evan opened his mouth to say
something "Thanks," she glanced at me with a smirk "You can use his bathroom, Ju
les." she winked at me and ran upstairs leaving us alone. I was so embarrassed.
Lau made choices as if this was her house.
"I m sorry, she s a bit... bold sometimes," I apologized, gazing at the wooden f
loor "I can wait for her or Jordan to finish... you don t have to let me use you
r bathroom, I-" Evan s warm fingers held my chin, forcing me to look up at him.
Our eyes met making my heart beat quicker.
"It s cool," he said in a relaxed tone "come on, or you ll get sick." He held my
hand, leading me upstairs. The dragons in my stomach were now soaring as I stru
ggled not to squeal like a little girl right there.
Hes holding my hand!

When we finished climbing the stairs, we found ourselves in a long hallway. Ther
e were doors at each side. I could hear the water running somewhere and realized
it was probably Lau taking a shower. Since when was she this bold, smarty girl?
She seemed to have everything planned to get me alone with Evan in his room.
That evil genius! Hanging out with Shane and Jordan was definitely making her mo
re avid and malicious. I was so deep in thought that when Evan stopped, I slamme
d into his back.
"Sorry!" I exclaimed ashamed. He didn t say anything, but instead pushed a door
open. He gestured me to go in first, but I hesitated.
"What?" He asked with a little smirk, "Little Jules is afraid of going inside th
e Shark s cave?"
"No," I replied with a flustered face, heat niggling at my cheeks. His words rem
inded me of the poem he wrote to me. Evan stared at me, making my breathing hitc
h. I looked away, and entered his room.
I couldn t see a thing until he
r. I can honestly say I d never
verything was black: the walls,
ror s frame, even the floor was
nd swallowing.

turned on the lights. My jaw dropped to the floo

seen so much black together in my entire life. E
the bed s sheets, the window s curtains, the mir
carpeted black. It made the room feel so small a

"Wow, that s a lot of black," I commented, my eyes still roaming around his cave
"you took the dark poet thing to a huge new level, huh?" I joked looking back a
t him. Evan was leaning against the door frame, his arms crossed over his chest.
Somehow knowing he was blocking my only way out was making me nervous. I was in
his territory, I was vulnerable. I waited for him to say something but he remai
ned in silence. His heavy gaze was making me uneasy.
"Hum," I started awkwardly "where s the bathroom?" Evan aimed his finger to a bl
ack door next to the drawers. I was about to move towards it when he stepped ins
ide the room, closing the door behind him.
We re alone in his room...
He just closed the door.
I m going to die of a heart attack.
I watched him walk past me and looked for something inside the drawers.
"You can use this towel," he handed me a dark blue towel. I grasped it with a sh
aking hand.
"Thanks," I pressed the towel against my chest and ran off into the bathroom. I
locked the door behind me and let out a long breath. Phew! I could finally feel
my heart getting back to his regular beating.
They say love is good for your health...
Good my ass! I was lucky to be young, otherwise I would have had a heart failure
a long time ago. I stripped from my damp clothes and jumped inside the shower.
It was a well-sized bathroom, nothing too big or too small. And guess what color
the pottery was?
Yep, you guessed right: Black. Warm water started falling on me, relaxing me. Ah
! That felt good. I grasped the soap and for a moment, I simply gazed at it. Eva

n had used this soap... He had rubbed it all over his hot body. The thought made
me shiver in delight.
Oh God, I need help.
Shaking my head at myself, I proceeded to continue with my relaxing shower. When
I was done, I grabbed the towel and wrapped it around me. It was then my not so
bright brain seemed to remember I didn t bring any dry clothes. I clutched my f
orehead with one hand and pressed the towel against me with the other. There was
no way I was leaving the bathroom like this. I glanced at my damp clothes lying
on the floor. No, I couldn t put them on again. I didn t want to get sick. Sinc
e I didn t want to leave the bathroom wrapped-up in toilet paper, which sounds l
ike something Lady Gaga would do, I didn t have a choice but to hope for Evan to
hear my precarious whispers.
"Evan?" I hoped he was still in the room "Hey, Evan!" Nothing. Maybe he went dow
nstairs. Arg! I unlocked the door and slowly pulled it open, sticking my head ou
t. Evan had his back to me and was looking for something on his night table "Eva
n?" he turned to me and grinned.
"Need help over there?" he asked suggestively. I glared at him, but couldnt help
the blood rushing to my cheeks.
"No, I just need some dry clothes."
"I figured. I brought you some clothes, he pointed his bed Theyre Helens, she left t
hem here when she visited me last week.
I dont think thats a good idea.
Why?
Well, Helen and I Evan waited for me to continue Never mind, I couldnt tell him his si
ster probably hated my guts.
Ill let you change, he stated, leaving the room.
Believe it or not, the rest of the night was boring. Evan avoided being alone to
be at all costs. We were all too tired to prepare something to eat so we got so
me chips and crackers before going to bed early. Lau and Jordan were of course sha
ring a room, therefore I was thrown into a lonely room. I was mad at Evan. Why
was he avoiding me now? I tossed around my bed trying to get some sleep. After a
n hour of futile attempts, I finally fell in dreamland.
**
I don t know what woke me up. I just had this weird feeling in my stomach. At fi
rst I thought it was hunger, but as I sat up I realized the feeling expanded to
my chest, constricting it. Something was wrong. I sneaked a quick look at the al
arm clock next to the bed: 1:27 am.
God, what am I doing awake?
I rubbed my face, swinging my legs out of the bed. I got up and went out of my
room, stepping into the dark hallway. Half-sleep, I headed towards Evans door. Ca
refully, I pulled it opened and stuck my head inside.
(Play the song now!)
He was there. He was awake. He was sitting on the edge of his bed, his naked bac

k to me. He was slightly bending over, his elbows on his knees. His face was bur
ied in both of his hands. He looked so lost, so vulnerable. I didn t know what t
o do so I stood there in his door frame motionless. His bed was a disaster as if
he d been tossing around repeatedly. His pale back stood out of the black sheet
s and walls. His dark hair was disheveled; each strand was pointing a different
direction. It was obvious he couldn t sleep, but why?
"Evan?" he tensed up at my voice. He glanced at me over his shoulder.
"What are you doing here?" his tone was cold. I took a step inside.
"I couldn t sleep," I lied.
"Go back to bed," he ordered looking back ahead of him.
"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly. Evan didn t say anything. I knew he wasn t ok
ay. It led me to wonder why do we always ask a person, who s obviously not okay,
if they are? It s a stupid unnecessary question. Grasping some courage, I slowl
y walked around his bed. I wanted to see his face. I was hoping his expression c
ould help me figure out what was wrong with him. I stopped right in front of him
, my figure was blocking the moonlight streaming through the window behind me. M
y shadow was fully coating him. He didn t look at me though, his gaze seemed los
t as if he wasn t there with me.
"Evan?" he looked up at me and my heart shrieked and sank in my chest. His eyes
were filled with so much sadness and pain I felt my eyes water. He wasn t hiding
the pain anymore, it was rolling off him freely. It was like he had taken the c
old mask off and for the first time since I met him, I was finally seeing his hi
dden side, and now I knew why he hid it, because it was heartbreaking to watch h
im like this.
There were bags under his penetrating dark eyes, my eyes roamed down his chest a
nd it was then I noticed the scars. I clutched hold of my chest and struggled wi
th not being surprised. There were many scars... on his chest and abdomen. I rem
embered Mom telling me about how he d been victim of abuse for years.
"They re repulsive, aren t they?" his voice brought my gaze back to his face. I
frowned at him for a second, not understanding his words. But then it dawned on
me, he was talking about his scars. I opened my mouth to say something but he cu
t me off "Don t answer that."
"Evan, I"
"What?" he got up abruptly "You what, Jules?" there was anger lacing his voice.
I stumbled backwards taken aback by his outburst.
"I m sorry," I mumbled. Evan stared down at me coldly.
"Why are you apologizing?" he frowned.
"I don t know, I just..." my eyes landed on his scars once again. God, there was
a large one that started on his chest and crossed down his stomach. He gave me
one last look before turning on his feet. He searched for a sweater inside his d
rawers and put it on angrily. He slammed the drawer closed, and stalked towards
the door.
He was leaving?
"Where are you going?" I asked following him. He turned to me.

"Stay here," he hissed through clenched teeth "I need some fresh air." I watched
him walk down the hall and disappear down the stairs.
Hell no! I wasn t going to let him go out like this. I ran after him, my bare fe
et moving across the cold floor and stairs. When I reached the living room I fro
wned, he wasn t around. The front door looked intact, locked and unused. Where d
id he go? As if on cue, I heard a door being closed. I followed the noise, it wa
s coming from the kitchen. I crossed the dark kitchen and opened the back door.
The cold night breeze met my skin. I shivered. The full moon was lighting up the
entire place as if it was daylight already.
There he was...
Evan was walking fast through his backyard. I chased after him. Rocks and stiff
grass were pinching my bare feet, I winced but kept going.
"Evan!" I yelled at him, trying to catch up with him. He didn t stop, but quicke
ned his pace instead "Wait!" I grabbed his arm but he slapped my hand away "Evan
!" I was already out of breath, catching up with him was a lot of harder than I
thought "Evan! Stop!" I grabbed his arm again, this time he whipped around fast
to face me.
"What?" he snapped rudely.
"Where are you going?" I was breathless.
"That s none of your business, go back to the house," he ordered, clenching his
fists as if containing his anger.
"No," I shook my head "No until you tell me what s wrong."
"Go back to the house," he repeated each word deliberately slow.
"Talk to me," I pleaded. I didn t bother to hide the despair in my voice. We loc
ked gazes and I watched him hesitate for a slight second.
"There s nothing to talk about," his voice was pure bitterness.
"Why can t you just tell what s wrong? I can help you, I"
"Help me?" he let out a fake cynical laugh "I don t need your help, I m fine."
"Stop lying, Evan. Whatever is bothering you, you don t have to face it alone, I
m here," I tried to reach for him but he stepped backwards. I ignored the pain
his rejection caused inside of me "I know you had a hard past, I know"
"You know?" he asked skeptically "You know nothing, Jules. You ve lived happily
in that dreamy bubble of yours! You ve had everything!" his tone rose "You ve ha
d a good perfect life, so dont come to me with that crap!" he was yelling now.
"My life is far from perfect!" I found myself yelling as well "We all have our o
wn problems, don t you dare say I had a perfect life because that s not true." h
e rubbed a palm over his face roughly.
"Listen, I just need to be alone, okay?" he whispered obviously struggling to ke
ep his calm.
"No," I said stubbornly "You need to vent your feelings out, Evan." I was desper
ate. It was killing to see him like this, so broken. He was hurting, I knew he w
as.

"I m fine."
"No, you re not."
"I m fine!" he clenched his fists at his sides, his knuckles turning white.
"You are not fine. Stop lying, stop pretending."
I m here for you...
"I don t wanna talk about it," he let out a long breath.
"Why are you mad at me?" I had to ask, he was still clenching his fists. He was
angry.
"This isn t about you." he shook his head. He stared at me in silence for a few
seconds. I stared back, expecting him to yell at me again. He sighed, relaxing h
is shoulders, "Come with me," he held my hand. I looked at him surprised as he p
ulled me behind him.
We walked around some pine trees until we came to face a lake. There was a small
boat dock there. The sight was beautiful. The full moon was reflected on the ca
lmed dark water. I could see the shape of mountains far away from us. He led me
through the dock until we reached the edge of it. He sat down, his feet dangling
in the air. I sat next to him, admiring the view. I stole a few glances at him
unable to help it, moonlight was brushing past his creamy skin. He looked so han
dsome it made my heart ache.
"It s beautiful," I said breaking the silence. Did he bring me here to distract
me? Was this his way to change the subject?
"This is where I come when I can t sleep," he said in a soft whisper. I glanced
at him but he was staring up at the sky, submerged in his own thoughts. I looked
back at the lake.
"It s so calm," I could still feel the tension between us, but he seemed collect
ed than before. The water was moving slowly and peacefully, the night breeze bru
shing past us and blowing my hair from my face. It was cold out here, but I didn
t care much about it.
Silence reigned between us. It wasn t an uncomfortable one though, it was a peac
eful one. It was like we were both calming ourselves down, enjoying the quietnes
s of this place.
"She was going to leave him," Evan said all of a sudden. I peered at him confuse
d "My mother." He clarified before continuing "She was going to leave my dad, sh
e had finally grasped the courage to do it after being abused for years," My eye
s widened. Was he going opening up to me? "She told me about her intentions a we
ek in advance. She wanted me to help her. She needed me to lie to Helen about th
e reason we were leaving since Helen had no idea of the things my Dad had done t
o us. I never let him touch one single hair on my little sister. I took all the
blows for her, he had already fucked me up. I couldn t let him ruin her, too." h
is voice was pure agony, it was killing him to talk about this. I knew it, but I
still wanted him to continue "Helen had a normal childhood, I made sure she had
it. I lost count of how many times I lied to her about my bruises, my absence a
t school when I couldn t even stand." A pained expression crossed his face "Lyin
g to her became so easy to me. That s why Mom asked me to deal with Helen. We ha
d everything ready to leave him," he looked down, his eyebrows knitted together
before speaking again, "The night before the day, we planned to leave. I woke up

from a nightmare and went downstairs. My Dad was in the living room all by hims
elf. He told me that he loved me, that we were everything to him. I was so stupi
d" he cut off abruptly, his lips trembled but he pressed them together to keep ta
lking "I believed him. I believed his words, I thought he had changed. I thought
there was a slight chance we could be a family again." He paused to take a heav
ing breath, "I told him about Mom s plan of leaving him. I was so stupid," he sh
ook his head, closing his eyes. My heart shrank in my chest. I grasped his shoul
der trying to comfort him.
"I m sorry," my voice was low and sad. Evan opened his eyes again, they were cry
stallized with tears. His chest was rising and falling heavily.
"He..." he trailed off, gripping the boat dock s edge tightly "He went crazy. He
started hitting me over and over until I was on the ground writhing in pain. Mo
m heard the commotion and came running downstairs. It was then he pulled the gun
out. Mom froze when she saw it. I tried to stand, but I only managed to get on
a sitting position against the couch. I knew I had some broken ribs, but I didn
t care. He was aiming the gun at Mom. I d never felt so scared in my entire life
," his knuckles were turning white as he tightened his grip on the dock s edge "
Mom tried to persuade him to drop the gun down. I tried to get his attention bac
k to me but it was useless. He grew angrier and angrier each passing second. Mom
was begging him to stop, I was yelling at him. And then it happened," he took i
n a shaky breath "I will never forget that moment, there was a click when he pul
led the trigger followed by a shot. Mom s body fell limp a few steps away from m
e. I tried to crawl to her but he got in my way. He knelt in front of me and pre
ssed the gun against my temple. I thought he was going to kill me, I closed my e
yes tightly not wanting to see anything. He forced me to open my eyes, Watch h
e said as he aimed the gun to his right. I followed his arm. Helen was standing
at the end of the stairs. I didn t get the chance to tell her to leave. He just
shot her and she stumbled backwards before finally falling to the ground, he..."
his voice was a mere whisper. My sight was blurred with tears, "He killed himse
lf after that," he finished, closing his eyes.
A tear rolled down my cheek freely "I m" my voice broke "I m so sorry."
"Don t be," he stated "it was all my fault. I shouldn t have told him anything."
"It wasn t your fault," I wiped my tears away.
"I should ve kept my fucking my mouth shut. Mom is dead because of me, Helen alm
ost died because of me. I was stupid!" he ran his fingers through his hair "How
could I believe him?!" He jumped to his feet. I imitated him "Fuck!" he kicked t
he wooden dock upset.
"Evan, it wasn t your fault, you"
"Stop saying that!" he yelled at me "She trusted me! She wanted me to help her a
nd I betrayed her!" he fell to his knees, breathing heavily "She was going to le
ave him," he muttered sadly. I knelt in front of him feeling his pain. I could o
nly imagine how much he d suffered all these years blaming himself. I held his f
ace with both my hands. Tears were streaming down my face.
"You can t blame yourself for this," my voice was raspy.
"She was going to leave him," he repeated with watered eyes. My heart was breaki
ng for him "I miss her."
"I know."
"She was... amazing, she was so strong. She was always there for me..." he close

d his eyes, his lips trembling "and when she needed me, I failed her." a single
tear escaped his eye, falling on my thumb. I bit my lower lip, holding back a so
b. I knew there was nothing I could say to make him feel better and that was kil
ling me. The man in front of me was not the cold, strong man anymore. That faade
had fallen off. His pale face was contorted in pain as if he fought the tears ba
ck. He bowed his head, hiding his face from me. What could I say? I wasn t even
sure I could speak without breaking into sobs. I held his face, forcing him to l
ook up at me. His dark eyes were filled with grief, "Now you re giving me that l
ook," he shook his head, smiling sadly.
I dropped my hands to my sides confused "What look?"
"That pity look, I hate it."
"I m sorry." I pressed my forehead against his. His hot breath fanned my lips.
"I have issues, Jules, for real. You have no idea," he whispered bringing his ha
nds to my face "I m seriously fucked up." his thumbs rubbed my wet cheeks softly
.
"You re not bad," it seemed so inappropriate to have this urge to kiss him now.
"I m not something you can fix," he affirmed, our noses touched.
"I"
"No," he interrupted me, closing his eyes "You re too young, too innocent for th
is."
"Evan, I swallowed. My chest was burning "I know I can t take the pain away, but
I..." the words stuck in my throat. How did it happen? When? I had no idea, I ju
st had to say those words before they burned my heart away "I love you," I whisp
ered, tasting the salty tears in my mouth. Evan s body went stiff. I kept my eye
s shut "I know I can t fix you. God, I don t even know what to say to make you f
eel better, but I love you and I will love every single shattered piece of you.
I know I will, I" he pressed his lips gently against mine, silencing me. The kiss
was soft but filled with so much emotion I felt my heart tighten inside my ches
t, my toes curling. He kissed me slowly as if he wanted to savor me. He tasted s
weet and tangy. I was in Heaven, I d never felt so complete in my entire life. T
he world around us vanished. All my senses were focused on the sensation of his
plump lips on mine. I knew he hadn t told me he loved me back but I didn t care.
Everything I needed was right there, in his kiss. I tangled my fingers through
his messy hair enjoying the softness of it. Reluctantly, Evan broke the kiss, hi
s thumbs brushing my cheeks. We stared into each other s eyes in silence. Someti
mes, words are redundant. We didn t need to say anything. I could see everything
in his eyes.
"I don t wanna hurt you," he said, honesty dripping from his tongue.
"You won t."
"How can you know that?" the dark pool of his eyes was filled with anxiety.
"I trust you." I gave him a short kiss.
"Why?"
"I just do," he gave me a sad smile.
"It s not going to be easy," he warned. I could see the fear in his expression.

He was afraid I would leave him.

"I know."
"Stand up," he ordered getting to his feet. I stood up frowning at him "If we re
going to do this, I m gonna do it right," he got on one knee.
"Oh God, no! no, no," I waved my hands in front of me in negation "you don t hav
e to "
"Shut up!" he exclaimed disapprovingly "You re ruining the moment," a smile crep
t to my lips. He looked so cute kneeling in front of me "Jules?"
"Yes?" I barely found my voice. He grinned up at me, sadness still lingering on
his expression, but it was soon being replaced by excitement.
"Would you do this passionate dark poet the honor of being his strawberry girlfr
iend?" I chuckled at his original way to ask me that. There was nothing conventi
onal about us. I nodded my head, feeling warm and genuinely happy. Evan got on h
is feet and wrapped his arms around my waist. He placed a soft kiss on my cheek.
"I guess that makes you Mr. Strawberry, huh?" I teased. He cocked an eyebrow.
"As long as you let me kiss you, I guess I m okay with it." I wrapped my arms ar
ound his neck.
"And if I don t?"
"I will steal kisses from you then," he shrugged.
"Is that so? Well let me tell you something, I may look small but I m " he slamme
d his lips against mine. He gripped my face tightly, kissing me passionately. Ou
r lips were moving together in sync. His long fingers tangled through my hair as
he deepened the kiss. I shivered as waves of electricity and heat embraced me f
rom head to toe. He pulled me closer. I felt his tongue slowly invade its way in
to my mouth. This kiss was different from the one before. It was wild, rough and
passionate; we were hungry for each other. We were both now breathing heavily a
s he sucked on my lower lip, stealing a soft sigh from me.
I loved him.
I wanted him.
All I wanted, all I needed was him and it was always going to be that way no mat
ter what.

My Wattpad Love

Chapter 31

"Stop it!" I screamed out of breath, tears of laughter were rolling down the sid
es of my face.
"Say it!" Evan ordered tickling my sides mercilessly. Playful evilness plastered
on his handsome face.
"Please!" I was breathless. My stomach hurt from laughing so much. Evan was on t
op of me, straddling me. We came back to his room when it got too cold out in th
e dock.
"Say it!" he repeated, his fingers moving faster on my sides.
"I can t-" I choked in my own words. The sensation was bittersweet. I was laughi
ng but my stomach was hurting and my lungs protesting from the lack of air. I co
uldn t keep this for long but I so didn t want to give up.
"I can go on forever, just say the words," Evan grinned wickedly.
"Never!" I shouted dramatically, pushing his chest. He didn t even budge. I wrig
gled beneath him like a wild anaconda but he simply chuckled as he continued to
tickle me to death.
"Say the words," he sang playfully.
I was going to die of laughter, literally. However, dying with Evan on top of me
didn t seem so bad to me. Evan intensified his tickling attack. I reached a poi
nt of laughter when no sound came out of my mouth and I knew I had to surrender
if I didn t want to die for real.
"Fine! I ll say it!" I gave in. He stopped tickling me to stare down at me expec
tantly. His dark eyes filled with amusement. I had a hard time catching my breat
h. My chest was rising and falling quickly.
"I m all ears," he said victoriously. Moonlight streamed through the window brus
hing his handsome features.

"You..." Arg! I hated losing. I definitely hadn t thought this through when I d
started a tickling war.
"Yes?"
"You are sexy poet," I muttered reluctantly. Evan s grin grew wide.
"And?" he pressed. God, he was enjoying this way too much.
"I am..." I looked away from him blushing. He held my chin forcing me to look ba
ck at him.
"Don t look away from me. I want to see you when you say it," he commanded leani
ng down to me. My heart pounded fast inside my chest at his closeness. We were s
o close I could see how his dark pupils dilated slightly. His uneven breath brus
hed past my lips. His nose touched mine in a slow gentle caress "say it," his to
ne was soft but demanding.
"I am completely yours," I stated breathless and this time it wasn t because of
laughter, it was because of my boyfriend s closeness. He closed the space betwe
en us and kissed me. God, I loved the way his lips molded against mine so perfec
tly as if we were made for each other. the kiss was soft and slow but it still g
ot my heart racing my chest. His hand stroke my cheek gently as our lips moved i
n sync. He tasted really good. I brought my hands to his face pulling him even c
loser to me. He sucked on my lower lip mildly, stealing a sigh from me. He took
the opportunity to slide his tongue inside my mouth. The kiss became more urgent
and passionate. I found myself tangling my fingers in his soft hair as his tong
ue explore my mouth. Our breaths were getting heavy, my entire body was tingling
in places I didn t know they could. Evan shifted in his straddling position to
lie on top of me. The sensation of his body pressed against mine was amazing. He
continued kissing me fervently. His fingers traced down my cheek to my neck slo
wly. The contact sent waves of desire through me. I wanted his hand to go furthe
r down. Blame it on my hormones, but I was dying for his touch.
I wanted him to touch me.
I arched up pressing my boobs against his clothed chest. Evan moaned softly in m
y mouth. The sound was sexy as hell, it was like fuel to the burning fire curren
tly running through my veins. I broke the kiss needing to breathe. He buried his
face in my neck giving me butterflies kisses everywhere. I let out a shy moan.
That felt good. I didn t know what s gotten into me but I flipped him over to st
raddle him. I gasped feeling how hard he was against my core. I looked down at h
is face. He was staring at me, his mouth parted as he breathed heavily. His eyes
held a glint of lust. His hands gripped my hips tightly. I bit my lip staring b
ack at him. He sat up, and rested his forehead in mine. We were both trying to c
atch our breaths. We knew we couldn t go further than this because God, I was su
re I wasn t going to be able to stop if we did. Evan kissed me shortly. My lips
were swollen and sensitive. He nibbled on my lower lip teasingly. I pushed his c
hest.

"Ow!" I whined, glaring playfully at him. He grinned, his signature dimples form
ing in his cheeks. I struggled not to squeal saying he s so cute he held my fa
ce with both hands and looked right into my eyes.
"Thank you," he said seriously.
"Huh?" I frowned confused.

"For being so damn stubborn," he smiled. His thumbs were caressing my cheek "tha
nk you for not giving up on me even when I was being a jerk to you," I held his
hand and kissed his palm not breaking eye contact.
"What can I say? I have a thing for sexy poets," I shrugged. He cocked an eyebro
w.
"So you re admitting I m sexy?" he asked arrogantly.
"Maybe," I shrugged again.
"Maybe?"
"Yeah," he pinched my waist "No! no more tickling! Please!" I begged, shaking my
head.
"You do realize you re in my dark cave alone?" he smirked at me. I swallowed, no
dding "Aren t you afraid of the big bad shark?" I shook my head "You should! Raw
r!" he roared. I burst into laughing.
"Did you... did you just... roar?" I asked still laughing so hard my stomach was
starting to hurt. Evan was watching me, amused.
"Yes, did I scare you?"
"Sharks don t roar, silly!" I stated, poking his forehead.
"Is that so?" he whispered pretending a dangerous tone "The shark feels insulted
! You shall feel his wrath!" he exclaimed dramatically. I shrieked as he pushed
me down, forcing me to lay on my back. He crawled on top of me, making growl noi
ses. I was laughing again.
"What are you doing?" I gasped when he buried his face in my neck, kissing, lick
ing and biting it gently. I wriggled beneath him.
"Rawr!" he purred in my ear, sending shivers through me. I loved this playful si
de of him, he was so funny.
I really loved Evan. I can t deny a part of me was sad because he hadn t said he
loved me back but I pushed all those thoughts away and decided to enjoy being w
ith him to the fullest.
**

It s so warm here...
Something warm was brushing my closed eyelids. It dragged me out of a good sleep
. I opened my eyes slowly, orange invaded my blurred sight. Orange? I frowned. L
ast time I checked Evan s room was totally black. After blinking repeatedly, I
realized it was sunlight brushing my face, it was coming in through a small gap
between the curtains. I yawned, sitting up. I looked at my side to see Evan. He
was lying on his stomach, his pale face was half-buried in his pillow. He looked
so vulnerable. I felt like cuddling with him and staying in bed but I needed to
pee, like right now.
I crawled out of bed careful enough not to wake him and headed to the door. Cold
air caressed my bare legs. It was then I looked down at my outfit, blushing fie

rcely. I was only wearing one of Evan s shirts. It barely reached my mid-thigh.
Yeah, I know what you re thinking! No, we didn t have sex. I just changed into h
is shirt last night because it was more comfortable than Helen s tight clothes.
We did made out like crazy, and let s just say, things got a little touchy but w
e were strong enough not to surrender to our needs. Basically, because it was il
legal and I really didn t want him to go to jail because of me. But also, becaus
e come on, he d just asked me to be his girlfriend and even though I loved him,
I wasn t going to lose my virginity so fast. I wasn t ready.
Yawning, I stepped out of the room, closing the door carefully behind me. I turn
ed on my heels ready to head to the bathroom. Unfortunately for me, Laura was co
ming out of the bathroom in that precise moment. Her jaw dropped to the floor. H
er eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Oh my God!" she squealed, jumping up and down.
"Shhh!" I placed my index on my mouth as I jogged towards her.
"Oh my God! Oh my God!" she repeated loudly. When I reached her, I pushed her in
side the bathroom, kicking the door closed behind me.
"Shut up!"
"Oh my God! you re wearing his shirt!" she chirped excited "Did you... Oh God! I
can t breathe!"
"Calm down!" I shook her by her shoulders.
"I can t! This is so exciting!" she fanned herself with her hands "His shirt loo
ks so good on you!"
"Lau! I m going to slap you if you don t calm down," I warned her but couldnt hel
p smiling at her reaction.
"Ok, Ok, breathe in, breathe out," she repeated this until she was slightly calm
ed.
"That s better," I let go of her shoulders.
She giggled like a five years old "What happened? You need to tell me everything
! Every single detail!" she demanded sitting on bathroom s counter. I sighed. Af
ter brushing my teeth and peeing, which can be very uncomfortable with Lau in th
e same room but she refused to leave, I told her the entire story. From waking u
p in the middle of the night, to how we ended up in his room. Lau listened to me
attentively looking sad when I told her Evan s heartbreaking story but then sq
uealing and giggling when I told her how he asked me to be his girlfriend. When
we reached the part of him and me making out, she bombarded me with questions.
"How was it? Did it hurt? I can t believe you lost your virginity first! I-"
"Whoa, whoa! slow down, girl!" I raised my hands "I didn t have sex with him," s
he stared at me confused "I m only wearing his shirt because it was more comfort
able," I explained further.
"But you slept with him?"
"Yeah,"
"And you didn t do anything?" she asked skeptically. I nodded "Anything at all?"

I blushed.
"Well..."
"I knew it!" she clapped her hands "Tell me!" I opened my mouth to say something
but then the door burst opened revealing a frowning shirtless Jordan. He looked
between Lau and me.
"What s going on here?" he folded his arms across his chest. His eyes scanned my
outfit and I felt the need to pull shirt down a little bit more "Is that...? Oh
," he said in realization.
"Come here, babe," Lau extended her arms to him. He obeyed, positioning himself
between her legs against the counter. She embraced him from behind, resting her
chin on his shoulder to look at me.
"What s up with all the squealing over here?" Jordan asked, amused "Did someone
have a wild night?" he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. I rolled my eyes.
"It s not what it looks like," I said sitting on the toilet bowl. Jordan chuckle
d.
"Jules was telling the details when you came in," Lau chimed in.
"I want to hear those details, too," Jordan said interested.
"I m not going to-"
"What the hell is going on here?" Jason cut me off, entering the bathroom. I let
out a long sigh
"What are you guys doing here?" he scowled at us and then took in my appearance
"Holy shit! You re wearing a guy s shirt!" he covered his mouth in shock.
"She slept with Evan," Lau informed him, grinning from ear to ear.
"She what?!" I swear, Jason just spitted me.
"Lau!" I whined, knowing Jason would get the wrong idea.
"Jules!" Jason grasped my shoulders, pulling me to my feet "What happened?!" he
asked, shaking me by my shoulders so hard I was getting dizzy "He took advantage
of you, didn t he? Say one word and I ll kill him!" Jordan and Lau were laughin
g their asses off.
"Jason, don-"
"Oh God!" he held my face protectively "My poor innocent Jules!" roughly; he pul
led me into a tight hug, caressing my hair.
"Jason, sto-" I muffled against his bare chest. He smelled like sex and a woman
s perfume. I pushed him away when I realized he d probably been having sex with
Helen all night since this was her house.
"Ew! Hands off! You stink of sex!" I complained, scrunching my nose in disgust.
"Says the girl wearing a guy s shirt," he shot back reprovingly.
"How was it? Did you enjoy it?" Jordan chimed in, enjoying this way too much. I
let out a exasperated sigh.

"Ew! Hands off! You stink of sex!" I complained, scrunching my nose in disgust.

"Says the girl wearing a guy s shirt," he shot back reprovingly.

"How was it? Did you enjoy it?" Jordan chimed in, enjoying this way too much. I
let out a exasperated sigh.

"I didn-"

"That bastard!" Jason muttered, clenching his fists as his sides "I can t believ
e you let him have his way with you!"

"Dude, it s not a big deal," Jordan shrugged.

"Not a big deal?!" Jason exclaimed becoming red "She fucking lost her virginity!
"

"You were a virgin?" Jordan looked surprised.

"Who s a virgin?" Helen asked, stepping inside the bathroom. Oh God! I clutched
my forehead frustrated. Helen scanned the place, when her eyes landed on me, she
squinted at me "Is that my brother s shirt?"

"No,no, I mean yes but... it s not-"

"You re screwing my brother?" Helen asked in disbelief.

"She slept with him," Lau corrected it as if her statement was clarifying anythi
ng. Truth was, it was only making everything messier.

"That s a nice way to put it," Jason commented angrily.

"It seems like it was a wild night, look at her hair," Jordan stated chuckling.

"That s my normal morning hair!" I defended with a stomp of my foot.

How we all managed to fit in this small bathroom, I had no idea.

"you and my brother," Helen mumbled, relief plastered on her face. It seemed lik
e she finally understood there was nothing between Jason and me.

"Tell me you at least use protection," Jason pleaded worriedly.

"What?" I seriously wanted to slap my best friend right now.

"Are you ovulating?" Helen inquired, probably concerned about being an premature
aunt.

"I... Oh God!"

"Oh God?" Jason imitated my voice "What does that suppose to mean?"

"Shut up!" I screamed at everyone "I did not have sex last night!" I clarified a
nnoyed "I am still a virgin!" I yelled at them.

"Good to know," a female voice said from the door. We all snapped our heads towa
rds the source.

"Melissa?" What the hell was she doing here? Great, I could officially say every
one knew I was a virgin.

Awkward...

"Helen," Melissa said, completely ignoring me "I need your help,"

"What s wrong?" Helen inquired focused on her.

"Shane," Melissa stated as if that was all she needed to say for Helen to unders
tand.

"What about him?" Jordan interrupted. Melissa sighed.

"I found him in a near-by bar a few hours ago. He was wasted. It took me forever
to drag him here but he refuses to get out of the car," Melissa explained tired
ly.

"Where s your car?" Jordan got off the counter, all playfulness gone from his fa
ce.

"Outside,"

"And you let him alone?" Jordan reprehended.

"He can t even move properly," she shrugged. I was too shocked to say something
I thought Shane had left with some red-headed. What was he doing in a bar getti
ng wasted all by himself?

We all headed outside. I, of course, stayed at the porch. It wasn t like I could
walk outside in this outfit. Jordan and Jason dragged Shane out of the car. Let
me tell you something, Shane was a mess. He was still wearing his jeans shorts
from yesterday. He was shirtless, his hair was disheveled. His eyes were half-cl
osed.

"I can walk!" Shane slurred slapping Jordan s arms. Stumbling and swinging from
side to side he came towards me. His eyes widened when he spotted me "Little min
ion!" he exclaimed opening his arms to me.

"Shane, you need to go to bed," Melissa recommended. I could see the tireless in
her eyes.

"Bed?" he huffed "I need another drink,"

"Bro, I think you d have enough drinks for the day," Jordan said grasping his sh
oulder.

"Psst! I m not going to bed!" he rubbed a hand over his face shakily "i m fine!"

"Shane," my voice seemed to catch his attention. his face softened.

"Yeah, little minion?"

"Go to bed," he grinned at me.

"Why?" he loom
"Got ya!" he said victoriously.

My Wattpad Love

Chapter 32

Was this a thriller movie?

Because I certainly felt like it was one. You know that moment when the victim g
ets caught by the killer inside a small area? Yeah, I was living it. I took a st
ep backwards scared. The back of my legs touched the bed, letting me know I had
no escape. Shane still had that wicked grin on his face. This room looked too sm
all for him to fit. What was he up to? He took a step forwards, determination pl
astered on his face. Although, his eyes seemed unfocused.

"Shane," I called him, getting his attention "what are you doing?" he didn t rep
ly, taking another step in my direction. It made me wonder if he was pretending
to be drunk to trap me like this. He wouldn t do that, right?

"Jules, Jules, Jules," he repeated my name deliberately slow. I scowled at him.

"What are you doing?" I was scrutinizing him, trying to see if he was lying abou
t being drunk. Shane s brown eyes were slightly narrowed as if he was having a h
ard time to see me well "Are you really drunk?" Shane s grin grew bigger but did
n t say anything. However, I got my reply when a very loud sound left his lips:
A hiccup followed by a drunken giggle. I rolled my eyes, relaxing my shoulders "
Let s get you to bed,"

"No," he shook his head stubbornly.

"Come on," I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him to the bed. Being obviously his
drunk-self, Shane lost his equilibrium and fell on the bed. I took the chance t
o pull the covers over him. When he finally was lying on his back, I knew it was
time for me to leave. Apparently, Shane thought otherwise because he held both
of my wrists, forcing me to sit next to him.

"Wait, don t go, I..." he muttered something else but I couldn t catch it.

"What?"

"I think Im drunk,"

"Really?" I chuckled "How did you get to that preposterous conclusion?" I said s
arcastically. He gave me a small smile.

"Because I want to say something I shouldn t say," I frowned.

"And what is that?"

"Why?" I gave him a confused look "Why him?" I froze.

"What are you talking about?" I scrunched my eyebrows together and tipped my hea
d to the side.

"Freaky boy," he said, moistening his dry lips "why did you choose him?"

"I"

"Wait," he cut me off "don t answer that." He demanded with a pained expression.

"Shane..."

"You were always getting under my skin, Jules. Somehow, you managed to crawl you
r way over my heart," he mumbled, eyes half-closed. My eyes widened. I stared at
him, waiting for him to laugh and say it was all a joke but it never happened.

Did he just... no, he was drunk. He couldn t be serious. He was Shane Mason, the
school s popular jerk... he couldn t be interested in me.

God, this is so clich.

I needed to get out of here, "You re drunk. You need to get some sleep," I strug
gled to get his hand off my wrists.

"You changed me," he whispered, eyes fully closed this time "I ve always been a
player. That s how I do things. That s who I am. I liked it that way, everything
was easier but then you walked into my life." he looked so vulnerable "You expe
cted me to be better... and that made me want to be better. You woke up my curio
sity. For the first time in years, I wanted to know how it is to have feelings,
real feelings. I realized sex is not the only thing two people can share. You ha
ve no idea how much you can affect someone, Jules," his voice was soft, almost a
whisper. I was frozen in my spot. I couldn t bring myself to say something. He
sighed, his lips twitched up forming a sad smile. He opened his brown eyes to l
ook up at me "Shocking, isn t it?" he let go of my wrists to cup my cheek.
"Shane, I" he pressed his index finger on my lips.

"You don t have to say anything," his eyes held so much emotion I felt my heart
falter. I swallowed "I just need to get this out of my chest," he paused, sitti
ng up clumsily. His face was mere inches from mine "I don t know what love feels
like, but I can t get you out my head and all I can think about right now is ho
w bad I wish you were wearing my shirt and not his," his thumb caressed my cheek
"I want to protect you, to make you smile. I want to make you happy. I know it
s too late for this but I have to say it," he pressed his forehead against mine
"I love you, little minion," his alcohol impregnated breath blew past my lips "I
have no idea how this happened, but I do. I love you, I love you," he gripped m
y face tightly.

"Shane..." I trailed off, taken aback by his words.

"God, it feels good to say it aloud," he slurred, chuckling. I closed my eyes, n

ot knowing how to deal with his. I wasn t prepared for this. Heck, I would never
have thought something like this would happen.

Shane said he loved me. To say I was shocked was the biggest understatement of m
y life. Instead of feeling happy, I felt terrible because I didn t feel the same
way at all. Sure Shane was hot and I may have felt physically attracted to him
a few times but that was it. In my eyes, he was my friend, nothing else. My hear
t belonged to Evan. It was the first time a guy told me he loved me. It felt...
strange. I wanted to hear those words so bad, but not coming from Shane. I wante
d to hear them from Evan. I opened my eyes, realizing Shane was leaning forwards
. I placed my hands on his chest gently stopping him.

"Don t," I pleaded, removing his hand off my face. I couldn t let him kiss me be
cause I would only do it out of pity and he didn t deserve that. Shane looked do
wn.

"I thought I would get a kiss after that embarrassing confession," he smiled but
it didnt reach his eyes.

"I m sorry," I said frankly.

"Not even a peck?" he asked hopefully. I shook my head "Bah, you re not like tha
t Bella girl from Twilight, are you?" I knew he referred to the fact, Bella s ch
aracter had feelings for two guys and she let the second kiss her betraying her
boyfriend.

"Sorry, I m a faithful girl,"

"I know," he fell back on the bed, hiccupping again "Im sleepy,"

I got on my feet "Sleep well, Shaney," I headed to the door.

"And Jules?" I heard him whisper from behind.

"Yeah?" I said, grasping the doorknob.

"If he messes up, I will be here for you," he slurred.

"Okay," I walked out of the room, resting my back against the closed door. I clo

sed my eyes, rubbing my face.

What the hell just happened?

The Anti-chips loved me? What had the world come to? Global warming didn t seem
to be affecting the environment anymore. It was having an effect on humanity.

"Jules?" I jumped at Evan s sexy voice. I snapped my head towards the beginning
of the hallway. There he stood, in all his morning glory. Jesus! That was one se
xy bed hair. I blushed remembering the events of last night.

"Hum... Hi the-there," I stuttered nervously. I knew I hadn t done anything wron

g but I still felt like I just got caught. Evan squinted at me.

"What are you doing down here?" he folded his arms across his chest.

"I was just..." I glanced at the closed door.

I love you, little minion

My brain was still processing everything, "I was helping Shane," I finished, pus
hing that thought to the back of my mind.

"You mean, you let him see you like this?" he gestured my outfit.

"Yeah but he was-"

"You can t just go walking around looking like this," he said disapprovingly. He
came closer to me "You re my girlfriend now. I don t want anyone else seeing yo
u like this, especially not him," he wrapped his lean arms around my waist.

"Sorry, I wasn t really thinking when I left the room," he leaned down to give m
e a short kiss. My heart raced in my chest, the wild dragons fluttered in my sto
mach. It felt so good to be in his arms. I got on my tiptoes, wrapping my arms a
round his neck. I loved kissing him. I loved the way my entire body tingled when

he was close to me.

"Get a room!" I heard someone yell. Evan and broke the kiss but still kept out b
odies pressed together. We looked at the source of that voice. Lau was walking t
owards us "I have good news and bad news," she informed us.

"What happened?" I asked curious, getting some space between Evan and me.

"Bad news: the road won t be ready until tomorrow, I m hungry and I don t want t
o cook and Jason and Jordan are eating everything in the kitchen as we speak " s
he said enumerating with her fingers "Good news: I ve already planned an awesome
day for all of us since we have to stay over another night,"

"Did you even ask Evan if we could stay over again?" I gave her a disapproving l
ook "It s his house, remember?" Lau grinned.

"I m sure he won t mind," she glanced at him "right, Evan?" he smiled at her.

"No, I don t mind. As long as she s here," he wrapped his arms around me from be
hind "I m okay with it," he kissed my cheek tenderly.

"Aww! He s so cute," Lau made a dreamy face. I couldn t help blushing a little "
but I was serious about you two getting a room. I mean, there are too many in th
is house. You don t need to make out in the middle of the hallway," Evan chuckle
d.

"Lau!"

"Fine! I m leaving," she turned on her heels, winked at me, and left.

"That girl is going to be the death of me," I mumbled. Evan tightened his arms a
round my waist. I could feel his body pressed against mine from behind.

"She s funny," Evan commented, kissing the curve where my shoulder and neck meet
. A pleasurable shiver ran down my spine. His breath was brushing my skin teasin
gly.

"Evan..." I whispered dropping my head back, giving him more access to my neck.

"Yes?"

"Let s get a room," I offered, closing my eyes.

Chapter 33

"Put these on," Evan stated as he threw some shorts at me. I scowled at him, unf
olding the shorts in front of me. They were too big for me. Reluctantly, I put t
hem on tightening the waistband so they wouldn t fall off. I kept scowling at my
boyfriend who was now putting a t-shirt on. Apparently when I d said Let s get
a room he heard it as Let s get you dressed because when we got back to his
room, he d only tried to get me to dress properly.

However, I wasn t complaining. I was watching how his muscles flexed as he pulle
d the dark t-shirt down his body. How could he look so sexy doing something so s
imple as that? My mouth watered as I stared at the sexy V in his lower abdomen u
ntil the t-shirt covered it down. I mentally whimpered, wanting to stare at his
sexy body all day. Jeez, I was turning into a pervert. But dear God, he was just
so perfect. I couldn t believe he was mine. I giggled happily. Evan looked at m
e, cocking an eyebrow.
"What s so funny?" He asked, closing his drawers.
"Erm, nothing," I waved my hands in front of me, smiling nervously.
"Then why are you blushing?" He inquired, taking a step closer. I backed away co
wardly.
"I m not blushing," I lied, lowering my head. Evan approached to me. His tangy s
mell hit my nose and I struggled not to sniff on him. His hand held my chin, for
cing me to look up at him. His deep dark eyes stared into my blue ones intensive
ly making my heart falter. I couldn t describe the way he made feel anymore. I j
ust felt... Complete. Like I didn t need anything more to be happy, just him. He
leaned forwards, his lips were merely an inch from mine. I was struggling not t
o close the distance between us.
"You look sexy with my shirt on," he stated brushing his plump lips against mine
.
"Really?" Wow, my voice was so husky already. Evan nodded before kissing me soft
ly. I eagerly kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his neck. My entire body
heated up quickly. I loved feeling him so close to me. Our lips moved in sync as
he gripped my waist tightly. I was becoming breathless while the kiss was getti
ng deeper and more passionate. I felt his tongue traced my lips, asking for entr
ance which I quickly granted. His tongue explored my mouth sending waves of hot
pleasure through every part of my body. Evan lifted me so I could wrap my legs a
round his hips. Instantly, I felt something hard pressed against me. I moaned in
his mouth. He grunted, cupping my ass with both hands. I didn t realize I was g

rinding against him until I felt something building up inside me. Evan carried m
e towards the bed. That should have alarmed me but I wasn t thinking straight. I
landed on my back with him on top of me. Our lips were glued together as metal
to a magnet. My breath was ragged and uneven, his wasn t any better. My hands se
emed to have a mind of their own, because they started tugging on his t-shirt un
til they pulled it over his head. My fingers traced down his defined chest and s
tomach. I wanted to feel the warm skin against mine so bad. Evan seemed to read
my mind because in a not-so subtle movement he took my shirt off, throwing it aw
ay. Our naked torsos made contact, causing both of us to moan loudly. I could fe
el my warm breasts pressing against his soft skin.
God, this feels so good.
He broke the kiss, leaning back to look right into my eyes. There was so much em
otion and need in them. He looked further down to my now bare breast. I was brea
thing heavily as I watched how his eyes darken with lust. I bit my lower lip, ca
ressing his face. He kissed me again with so much passion; I couldn t do anythin
g but respond. I knew we had to stop, there was a voice yelling at me in the bac
k of my head but God, it felt too good to stop. His lips left mine to trail kis
ses down my jaw until he buried his face in my neck. He licked all the way down
into the valley of my breasts. I was muffling moans as I arched up towards him.
I didn t stop him when he began pulling down my shorts. I knew I couldn t stop h
im even when that was the rational thing to do.
"Evan," I moaned his name. This seemed to excite him more because he groaned, li
cking down my stomach to my navel. His hot tongue felt so good against my burnin
g skin. I tangled my fingers in his hair, bringing his face up to mine. I kissed
him fervently, showing him how bad I wanted him through the kiss.
"Bro, have you seenOh my God!" We both froze at Helen s voice "I m so sorry! I m
so sorry!" She repeated, embarrassment cleared in her voice. Evan jumped off me
so fast I barely had time to cover my chest. Wrapping the sheets around my naked
torso, I sat up to face Helen.
"It s okay," I said out of breath. I knew my face was as red as a cherry but I t
ried my best to keep my expression normal. My boyfriend didn t seem fazed by the
entire awkward situation. He simply looked annoyed at the interruption.
"What do you want?" He asked dryly, putting his t-shirt back on.
"Well," Helen started awkwardly not even glancing at us "I was looking for Jules
,"
"Me?"
"Yeah," Helen kept her eyes anywhere but us "we re all going to hang out by the
pool and Laura told me you don t have any bathing suit so, yeah, I thought you c
ould borrow some of mine,"
"Oh," I said surprised. That was really nice of her "I ll be with you in a secon
d," she mumbled okay and stepped out, closing the door behind her.
We were left alone again. Evan s hungry gaze met mine and I just knew I needed t
o get the hell out of that room before we did something we could regret. Evan wa
lked to me and handed me the shirt I was wearing. I waited for him to turn aroun
d or close his eyes. I know it sounds silly since I was pretty sure he had seen
my breasts so close he could actually drawn them if he wanted to; But that didn
t mean I was going to be an exhibitionist now. I wasn t confident enough for tha
t.

"Can you..." I trailed off, not actually knowing how to say it. Evan stared at m
e curiously.
"Yes?" I caught the amusement in his voice. I swallowed.
"Could you turn around?" Evan chuckled.
"You re really silly," he shook his head, giving his back to me.
Hurriedly, I put the t-shirt on "Ready," I said, getting up from the bed. Evan t
urned to me, smiling. I narrowed my eyes at him "What?"
"Nothing," he shrugged.
"What is it?" he bit his lip as if holding back from laughing.
"Nothing,"
"Come on, spit it out," he chuckled.
"Well, you forgot there was a mirror there," he pointed behind him. My mouth for
med a big O when I realized he actually saw me changing through the mirror "It w
as quite of a view," he teased, grinning widely. I grasped one of the pillows an
d started hitting him with it.
"You should have told me!" I exclaimed, attacking him mercilessly. Evan was laug
hing his ass off. Apparently, my pillow s blows were only tickling him because I
didn t hear one single moan of pain from him "I hate you!" I growled ashamed.
"No, you don t,"
"I do!"
"You don t," he stuck his tongue out at me. I glared at him.
"You re so immature," I accused.
"Says the girls starting a pillow fight," he shot back mockingly. I held my pill
ow tightly and attempted to slam it on his face but he caught it in mid-air, sta
rtling me. He smirked, giving one strong pull at the pillow. I stumbled forwards
until I crashed against his chest. He wrapped his arms around me, keeping me pr
isoner.
"Let me go!" I wriggled in his arms, trying to fight for my dignity.
"No," he held me tight.
"Evan!"
"Yes, Jules?" his tone was teasing but I couldn t help shivering when he said my
name.
"Let me go!"
"Never," he whispered in my ear "I will never let you go, I-"
"Jules?" Helen s voice sounded annoyed at the other side of the door "I can come
back later," I had totally forgotten about her.
"No, I m coming!" I shouted. Evan released me.

"Go," he gave me a little push. I started heading to the door when he grabbed my
hand to swirl me abruptly. In a matter of seconds, his lips crashed into mine.
It was a soft kiss but it still got my heart racing in my chest. He pulled away,
caressing my cheeks with his thumbs "i ll see you at the pool," I nodded my hea
d, smiling up at him. He kissed my nose, letting go of my face.
I stepped out of the room with a stupid grin on my face. Helen noticed it becaus
e she smiled knowingly at me. She looked very pretty with her perfect straight b
rown hair falling at the sides of her face and her cute little green eyes. My be
st friend had a good taste with woman.
"Hey," she waved her hand. Her sudden change of attitude towards me wasn t reall
y shocking. I mean, she just found me in a very compromising position with her b
rother. If that didn t convince her about me and Jason just being friends, I did
n t know what it would "follow me," she started walking down the hallway. She le
d me to a pink room. When I entered, it felt like it was some alternative realit
y because everything was so bright and happy in this room. It was the opposite o
f Evan s room.
"I took all the blows for her,"
Evan s words came to my mind. It was pretty clear Helen was a happy person. I ad
mired Evan for taking so much care of his little sister. It was very brave of hi
m to deal with all those years of abuse and protect his sister at the same time,
making sure she had a normal childhood.
"Earth to Jules!" Helen snapped her fingers in front of me "I know it s a lot of
pink but what can I say?" she shrugged "I m a girly girl," I smiled at her.
"Your room is really pretty,"
"I know," she said smugly. For a moment, I felt jealous of her. Helen looked so
confident about herself, it was like she wasn t afraid of being herself.
After
en in
thing
out,

practically swimming through her clothes-she had the biggest closet I d se

my life- we chose a cute swimsuit and pair of jeans shorts. It was a good
Helen was almost my size. I used her bathroom to change and when I stepped
Helen clapped her hands.

"Perfect!" she chirped excitedly "You have a nice body, Jules."

"Thanks," I mumbled shyly.
"Ok, listen, there s something I need to say," she cleared her throat. I stared
at her curious.
"Yeah?"
"I m sorry for getting all bitchy with you. I just... I don t know. I guess, hea
ring so many stories about best friends falling in love clouded my mind. Jason a
nd you seemed so close to each other, I just... I m sorry." she ran her fingers
through her hair nervously.
"You love him, don t you?" she seemed surprise by my question.
"What? I"
"I can see it in your eyes," I cut her off. Helen opened her mouth to deny it bu
t then closed it, letting out a long sigh.

"I do. I don t know how it happened. It just... did,"

"Does he know?"
"No!" Helen jumped to her feet "And you can t tell him,"
"I won t," I held up my pinky "Pinky promise!"
We were in a pink room, making pinky promises. We were so cool.
Helen laughed shortly and poked my forehead.
"You re something," she shook her head, chuckling.
"Does this mean I have your approval?" I asked hopefully.
"My approval?" she frowned.
"You know, with your brother..." I trailed off purposefully.
"I think my brother is too old for that. You don t need my approval,"
"But I want your approval," I said honestly. Helen sighed.
"Fine," she shrugged "I guess, you have it then," I grinned "but if you hurt him
, I will personally kick your ass,"
"I know,"
"And I will have no mercy,"
"I know,"
"And I know Karate,"
"Okay,"
"And-"
"Okay! Okay! I get it!" I said exasperated. Helen s phone beeped.
"We better head out to the pool. They re waiting for us," She stated, checking h
er texts.
"Actually, I m kind of hungry," I admitted embarrassed.
"There are snacks there," Helen started walking out of the room. Snacks? My face
brightened up.
"Do you have any Ruffles?" I asked, following her close.
**
"Eureka!" Jason shouted as he jumped inside the pool, splashing water everywhere
.
"Jason!" Helen and Lau whined as water splattered on them. I chuckled, it was a
good thing I was a few feet away.

"Yoohoo!" Jason exclaimed as soon as he came up to the surface. He raised his fi

sts in the air as if he won some price. He was as excited as little boy in fron
t of a candy shop. Jason loved pools like really loved them. I remembered one ti
me when we were nine, we went to some ranch with a huge pool. Jason didn t get o
ut of it until it was nighttime. We had to drag him out, literally. I smiled to
myself, shaking my head at my best friend childish behavior. I was so glad to h
ave him in my life. I didn t know what I would do without him.
I was having a great time. Jordan had prepared delicious hot dogs with some sauc
e he made himself. Let me tell you, that boy knew how to cook. Shane had woken u
p and was currently sprawled in a beach chair like a stringless puppet. He was w
earing big dark sunglasses. The sun was his biggest enemy due his pretty obvious
hangover. I was sure a part of him was still drunk. I mean, he d slept like fou
r hours. I was sure alcohol hadn t left his system so fast.
To be honest, I d expected things to be weird between us but when he d came out
of the house he was his usual-self which means he annoyed the hell out of me and
teased me about my hair. Apparently, that s what you do after you tell someone
you love them. You make fun of them.
Very classy, Shane.
There was also the possibility of him not remembering what he said. And I was ob
viously not going to ask him if he did. What was I going to say: Hey, Shane. Thi
s morning when you came here wasted, you told me you loved me. Do you remember t
hat?
Awkward...
Sighing, I kept eating my Ruffles. I was enjoying the sight in front of me. All
my friends were there, having fun. Jason and Helen were splashing water to each
other in a flirty way. Jordan and Lau were kissing like the world was going to e
nd in a few minutes. Ok, that kiss was getting steamy too fast. I was sure the s
cene was going to turn Rated very soon. I scanned the ground around me and grasp
ed a ball we ve been playing with an hour ago. I placed my bag of ruffles on my
lap.
Rule #4 of Julie Ann Jones life: Always make sure the Ruffles are safe before m
aking a rough movement.
I threw the ball at them efficiently hitting Jordan s head.
"Let s keep it PG, guys!" I yelled at them. Jordan glared at me, rubbing his hea
d. I smiled innocently at him.
You re probably wondering where my hot boyfriend is, aren t you?
He was actually getting out of the pool at the moment. He had gone for a swim. I
gaped at him as he walked towards me; water droplets were running down his broa
d chest and defined stomach, drowning in the V formed in his lower abdomen. He r
aked his fingers through his wet hair, causing the muscles of his arms to flex.
He bent down to give me a peck. His lips felt cold and wet against my warm ones.
"Come with me," he whispered, his breath fanning my lips.
"I m not getting in the pool anytime soon,"
"I know," he said, holding my hand "I just want to be alone with you for a secon
d,"

"If this is some way to get me to stand so you can throw in the pool, I will kil
l you,"
"I m so scared," Evan mocked with a girly voice.
"I m serious,"
"Relax, I m not going to throw you in the pool,"
"Ok," I stood up cautiously. He held my hand tightly and pulled behind him. I re
alized we were heading to the woods behind his house.
"Where are you guys going?!" I head Lau ask from behind. I glanced at her over m
y shoulder and mouthed I don t know to her.
"Use protection!" Jason shouted loudly. My cheeks were tinted red.
"Jason!" Lau smacked him on the head.
"What? She s too young to have a baby," Jason told her.
"Oh God, shut up!" Lau pulled him under water "Have fun," she winked at me.
When we were a little deep in the woods, Evan stopped letting go of my hand. He
didn t face me though, he kept his back to me. I noticed how he was trying to re
lax his shoulders. What was wrong with him? He seemed tensed. Was he cold? I mea
n, he was dripping wet. Not knowing what to do, I took a look around. I spotted
a tree house.
"You re not afraid of heights, are you?" Evan asked, glancing at me over his sho
ulder.
"No,"
"Come on," he said, gesturing me to the wooden stairs hanging from the tree hous
e.
"Okay,"
We climbed our way up slowly. I wasn t afraid of heights but I wasn t a fan of t
hem either. When I was finally inside the tree house, I was surprise to find it
very comfy There was a small couch at the corner next to a carved window. There
were papers everywhere; there was also a wooden desk with a small battery lamp.
"Wow, this is so nice," I complimented.
"You re the first girl I ve brought here," Evan said all of the sudden. I looked
at him; he was using some towel to dry himself.
"Really?"
"Actually no," my heart sank in my chest "you re the first person I ve brought t
o this place," my face lit up.
"I feel special," I said, smiling at him.
"You have no idea how special you are," the sincerity in his voice warmed my hea
rt.
"Thanks, I guess," I replied shyly.

"This is the place where I write my poems," he added "I wrote that poem for you
over there," he pointed the couch behind me.
"You re a great poet," I said honestly, remembering his breath-taking poem.
"I know," he smirked smugly. I rolled my eyes "Come here," he opened his arms fo
r me. I jumped to his arms, not caring about getting damp. We held into each oth
er tightly. I loved feeling him close to me. We pulled away but stayed close to
each other. I looked into his deep black eyes, getting lost in them.
The moment was just so perfect. I wanted to stay like this forever.
Who could have thought I would find love in a eBook
hought writing a simple cheesy story would bring me
y life? Life was truly unpredictable. When it comes
ble. There are no limits, no barriers. My love was
ashamed of it. In fact, it was the opposite. I was
appy, that s all that matters at the end.

community? Who could have t

face to face to the man of m
to love, everything is possi
unconventional and I was not
proud and happy. If you re h

"Jules," Evan s sultry voice brought me back to reality "I wrote another poem fo
r you," his thumbs caressed my cheeks tenderly.
"You want to show it to me?" I was really excited about it.
"No," he grinned.
"No?" I scowled at him.
"I want to recite it for you,"
"Oh," I said surprised.
"You ready?" his deep eyes were holding me prisoner.
"Yes," I was nervous.
"It s sort of a continuation for The Girl and The shark,"
"Alright,"
"Look into my eyes. Never look away," he instructed, taking a deep breath in.
"Ok,"
He opened his mouth and then angel s music filled my ears as he recited the poem
for me.
"The Shark hopes for salvation,
Since the day hes found light,
Daring to risk everything,
Just for a taste of delight.

His soul is still marked,

Filled with scars and pain,

But now that hes not alone,
Theyre nothing but remains.

The girl was stubborn,

Her brightness blinding and strong,
She never gave up,
She kept fighting all along.

She saw beyond that mask of coldness,

She stayed even when she got hurt,
The shark admired silently,
Her big wonderful spurt.

Staring into those eyes of yours,

That are amazingly blue,
I open my heart to tell you,
How much I love you"
My heart melted. My eyes were filled with upcoming tears, tears of happiness, I
supposed. That was such a beautiful way to tell me he loved me.
"I love you, Jules," he spoke softly.
"I love you, too," my voice broke a little.
Then, he kissed me with so much love, I felt like I was floating away from Earth
to the planet of happiness. Ok that was a little bit cheesy back there but that
s me, I would always be cheesy Jules and he would always be my dark poet.
Remember...
Don t be afraid to be different,
Be yourself in all your glory,
My name is Julie Ann Jones,
and that was My Wattpad Love story.
THE END.
