All Tyla Hemmings wanted to do, was to finish high school, go to college and perhaps get married to her best friend, and boyfriend, Colton Adams. But all of that changes when she unexpectedly meets a handsome stranger one afternoon, and a serial go...

After Alexander left with my brother and Jay, Jasper and Allison came to my room. Sitting on my bed, wrapped in my fluffy blanket, I can't help but think about how close I was to kissing Alexander. This isn't me. I don't cheat. How did I come so close to kissing him? I have never felt the way I do around Alexander. It feels like there's some form of a magnetic-like pull between us. It's like we're drawn to each other, at least, I'm drawn to him. I wonder if he's also thinking about our almost kiss. I wonder if his heart dropped when it didn't happen, just like mine did.
"What are you thinking about?" Jasper pulls me from my daunting thoughts. I shouldn't be thinking these things. It doesn't matter. Alexander and I will never be in this situation ever again. I can't allow it to happen again.
"I... uhm...you know, stuff." I mutter weakly, knowing he won't really buy my pathetic answer, but I can't think of anything else to say.
"So you and Zander eh?" Allison pries, clearly noticing my discomfort. I instantly feel my cheeks flush as she pushes to know more about Alexander.
"I mean... no we just met yesterday and then I kind of hung out with him after I ditched... there's nothing going on between us though. You know I'm with Colton" I say, leaving out the details that we almost kissed or the fact that I visited him in prison. For some reason I want our moments to stay just that, ours.
"So you wouldn't mind if I decided to go for him?" She asks and I instantly feel my heart drop. Of course she'd want to go for him. He's the most handsome guy alive and he's single not even to mention that she's perfect in every way. I'm sure he will go for her in a heartbeat.
"I thought you liked Jamie?" I squeak out, attempting to contain the sudden urge to cry.
"I do, but I mean come on. Zander is every girl's dream guy. I'd definitely like to at least have a casual fling with him. Who knows, maybe we end up to be the perfect couple? I can see myself tying the knot with that hunk of a man" With each word she utters, I feel a stronger urge to strangle her. Okay no not really, but I do wish she would stop putting mental images of her and Alexander together in my head. Why do I even feel a burning jealousy when I think about them together? He's not even mine... Why does it bother me that he might be interested in her?
"Yeah... sure, I mean... if you want to." I say dejected. I can't forbid her to try anything with him. I'm with Colton so I don't really have any reason to tell her to back off. I can't admit to her or even to Jasper that I might like him more than I should. She claps her hands together, happily. I just hate that she's sexualising him so much. I mean, sure he's attractive, but that's not all there is to him. He's so much more than just his good looks.
"Ty, do you want me to massage your head?" Jasper asks when he notices me rubbing my temples. He always does this. Whenever I don't feel good, he does something to help. He's a great friend, it's too bad that I can't ever feel something more than brotherly love for him. I'm sure he'd be the perfect boyfriend or even husband, but I can already feel that there's a certain name branded on my heart. It has been claimed by Alexander and that thought alone frightens me to no end.
