Against All Odds (spin-off of The Three Queen Bees and Me)

Chapter 12- The Truth Always Comes Out

I wish I could say I woke up feeling well rested, but then that would make me a liar. Trust me when I tell you guys this I already felt bad for lying to Evelyn and Axial.

Good thing I came clean to Evelyn though it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Now only if I could tell Axial the truth without her raging out on me.

Like that was going happen anytime soon.

All I know even with the medicine given to me by my therapist it couldn't get rid of the guilt that is eating at me.

Knowing today was the day I have to drop off Axial at the ski lodge I grudgingly get up and get ready.

Heading out of the hotel room I notice Camila deep in her phone more than what I usually am. She aggressively types on her phone as I try to casually walk by her without her noticing.

This is Camila Steele we are talking about though, so of course she notices me trying to leave.

Camila looks up from her phone and eyes me for a minute taking in my blue winter coat and blue beanie I was wear as I look at her as she is wearing a pink coat and has a bag of I assume winter gear for the lodge.

"Evelyn and I will see you at the lodge." Camila repeats what she says last night except this time she mentions Evelyn making my hands clench tightly together.

"What are you planning?" I ask suspiciously as she always has something up her sleeve when it comes to Evelyn.

"I don't know what you're applying. I told you I was over these games with Evelyn. What I feel for her is real and I hope she chooses me." Camila confesses with sincerity in her eyes.

I never seen Camila like this ever in my few years of knowing her. She is serious about Evelyn.

"I think that's up to her to decide." I state giving her a small smile then heading to the elevator.

"That it is." Camila sadly says to no one as I already board the elevator.

Pulling in Cafe Ground parking lot I put my car in park while the engine still ran because I have no intentions of freezing my ass off.

My car read the time as ten o clock the time Axial said she would met up with me. As time goes by I can't help my anxiety as I begin tap nervously on my steering wheel.

Finally I hear her motorcycle pull in as she takes off her helmet letting her raven hair flow down to her shoulders. I couldn't help, but marvel at the fact of how beautiful she is.

Back when we were thirteen I noticed how pretty she was. Back then her raven hair was a little shorter and she wore whatever Alex picked out for her. Mostly to make her happy.

Her oceanic blue eyes that held more pain then what she lets on contact with my emerald ones and I feel my breathe catch as I swallow a lump in my throat. What was going on with me?

This was Axial Greyson. The annoying, cocky, notorious for being a flirt, Axial Greyson.

I have feelings for Evelyn. Then why did my heart speed up when Axial looks at me the way she was now?

Nothing makes sense anymore. Camila changing her ways for Evelyn. Axial asking me for favors when she has made it her mission to avoid me or mess with me since we been thirteen. I hated change. I hated adapting. I hated how I am currently feeling.

Shoving whatever I was feeling deep inside myself I give Axial a smile and in return she gives me one back. No smirk, but an actual appreciate smile.

Maybe this road trip with her isn't going to be too bad.

"Fields, you're lost." Axial annoyingly states making it a point to throw her combat boots on my dashboard.
