"You don't know what I went through!" I yelled at him, angry tears streaming down my face. He stared at me for a long time before he spoke.
"I loved you but you fucking left me Scar!" he yelled back with tears glistening in his eyes.

Scarlett...
I slowly open my eyes, the morning rays are hitting on me and I open my eyes completely. The first thing I see in the morning is Asher's peaceful face. Wait what?! Oh my god me and Asher are cuddling, CUDDLING! I slowly try to get off the bed without waking him up but he grabs my hand and pulls me back to him “don't go scarr” he whines , his raspy voice gives me butterflies
“Asher” I say it's barely a whisper . He pulls me closer and he snuggles into my neck. I can feel his breathing. Well my breath just stopped. His hand went under my hoodie and started drawing circles on my bare stomach making me shiver. Oh I so gotta get out of this bed before things escalate. “Asher- i need to get up” i say in barely a whisper. “Five more minutes'' he whines and pulls me closer to him. A phone rings making him groan and roll over to his side. Oh thank god. It's his phone and not mine. I look at him to see him groan at the phone and answer. Deciding to give him some privacy, I go to the bathroom and get ready. Since I don't have any clothes I'm still in his hoodie. He told me there was a spare brush in the bathroom so I use that for brushing my teeth and I wash my face. I could hear faintly what Asher was saying.
“Yes Olivia i have reached, no she cant hear us, she's in the bathroom” he talks in a hushed whisper but i can still hear them. Are they talking about me? Oh, I'm more intrigued now. I guess he ended the call because i can't hear him talking anymore and just so he doesn't suspect anything, i turn on the tap so hopefully the water running sound will make him think im doing something.

It's around afternoon now and after the whole encounter with Asher and Olivia, I quietly slipped out of his room while Asher was bathing. Our teacher decided to take us to a museum then let us pick a place for lunch ourselves as long as it's in the neighbourhood. Me, Charlotte, Olivia, Ryder, Noah and Ashe picked out a cute and small restaurant around the block. Its very inviting and delicious aromas are coming out of there thus resulting in us picking it. We picked a table near the window. I sit next to Ryder with Charlotte on my left, Asher sitting across me with Olivia next to him, making a tinge of jealousy flood through me but I push it away. Soon enough the waiter comes and gives us our menus. I order a plate of fettuccine Alfredo and Ryder and Charlotte get the all famous California Pizza. Rest of us order. While waiting for the order I notice Asher and Olivia talking in a hushed whisper. I pushed it aside thinking that they were just talking about something which wasn't important but boy was I wrong. The food just arrived and it smells heavenly. God, I can't believe I forgot how good food used to taste in California.
“ I love food here man!” Ryder exclaims with a chuckle. “I second that” I reply with the same enthusiasm. I see Asher give me a smile and I smile back. As I am about to eat my food, I see a familiar face, a one that I haven't seen in days. Ethan did not see me yet, so just to see if my mind wasn't playing tricks on me, I nudged Ryder with my elbow and I pointed towards him. Ryder’s eyes widen momentarily before a smile takes over his face and he calls him over. My eyes widen at his action and I cover my face with my hands. Ethan looks over us with a surprised look before walking towards us. All the others look over at where Ryder was looking to see a tall brunette man walking towards us. Although he was walking towards us, his eyes were fixated on me. Asher seemed to notice that and looked at me with a questioning gaze and clenched his jaw.
“I’ll be damned. Ryder Albert and Scarlett Jones. Never thought i would see you too in California again.” he says with a goofy smile making me and Ryder smile back at him and asher’s face is dripping with jealousy making me let out a small chuckle. Me and Ryder get up to give him a hug, Ryder gives him a bro-hug kind of thing while I give him a side hug.
“Long time no see scar” he tells with a huge grin on his face. “Yea good to see you, how are you?”I ask with a soft smile. “Yea I am doing good, what about you?” he asks, completely blocking out Asher’s glare at him. “Great” he says, making me and Ryder chuckle. Before I could reply, Asher beat me to it. “Who the fuck are you?” he asks, the glare on his face intensifying. Wow. Blunt.
“Scarlett’s boyfriend” he says with a smirk making all of our eyes widen including mine. I look at him with a questioning gaze but he just gives me a wink and a knowing gaze. Of course! He always likes to play pranks on me and others when I used to live in California. Oh this is so not gonna end well. I look at Ryder who has a smirk on his face, he has caught on and I roll my eyes.
“What?!” Asher exclaims so loudly making a few people turn to stare at us making my face turn red. He turns to me with a murder look. “You didn't think oh I don't know, tell me about him?!” Asher takes a deep breath and asks, his voice still raised while the others just stare at us wide-eyed.
“Look mate, she doesn't have to tell you everything about her life” Ethan says while swinging his arm over my shoulder and giving me a kiss on my cheek. This whole encounter is funny and I decide to play along.
“He’s right, you know? I don't have to tell you everything '' I say with my eyebrows raised. “I thought we had a moment- you know what, I'm not gonna even! It's not like I didn't expect it!” he says, making my eyes widen for a second and I go back to my blank look. I would be lying if I said that sentence didn't hurt but I let it go cause he is just saying these things out of anger.
