Chapter 1

Fitz's POV.

All I wanted was to get back at Sophie for getting with Keefe. But, oh man, did that turn into a big hot mess.

Dex and I, we have an okay relationship. But, not intimate. All I did was ask for him to help me get back at Sophie, and he agreed, but...

Well, let me explain what happened first. Sophie and I were dating for a while, and we never really openly to each other called it quits. That's when she told me about her and Keefe.

That got me fired up. I came to Dex, who is Sophie's best friend, and asked him to help get revenge. By revenge, I mean making her feel jealous by making it seem I moved on easily. And me and Dex, we had uhh. Now, if I said this out loud to my family, they would freak. But, Dex and I had sex. (Author here! I am internally screaming, my first time mentioning something like that in a story.)

It wasn't terrible, but I don't know what 'good' was in terms of that. So, a few days went by, and Dex and I were so embarrassed about what we did that we couldn't even look at each other. I did start to grow a bit worried because I am an Alpha and Dex is an Omega. I haven't had the courage to tell Sophie about it, and I know that if I don't, then what Dex and I did goes to waste. But, I can't bring myself to.

Five days went past. Everything was, in terms of what happened, normal. Dex and I kept our distance. I played like I didn't have anything to say to Sophie and let her live her life. Keefe was bugging me non-stop about what a perfect date plan would be. But, I refused to tell him. Instead, I usually change the subject to homework or something Biana did.

The one person I did tell about what happened was Linh. She was surprised but told me she wouldn't tell a soul.

But, on the eighth day after what happened. Sophie stopped me outside of our telepathy lesson.

"What's up with you, Fitz? You've been avoiding me, and not only me, but you've been avoiding Dex a lot as well," Sophie told me. I hesitated. Should I tell her? No- I-I can't! That'll only worsen our breaking relationship.

"You know, I could just read your mind. But that would be wrong. So, just tell me what's going on with you, and I'll stop pestering you," Sophie told me jokingly. But her smile faded when I didn't say anything.

"Does it have something to do with both Dex and me?" she asked.

I felt my face go dark as I turned away.

"It's nothing, I swear..." I told her, but she wasn't buying it.

"Oh, c'mon! It couldn't be that bad! Did you break something of his or what?" Sophie tried.

"I said it's nothing!" I snapped at her as I headed to my next class. Leaving her standing there, gawking.

--------------------[Time Skip]------------------

I lay on my back in my room. I'm not on my bed, I'm on the floor. I stared at the ceiling for what felt like forever. Finally, I rubbed my hands over my face. Something felt amiss. I felt... lonely. I laid my arms spread out on my floor and sighed.

"What am I missing?" I asked myself. As if the ceiling was gonna tell me anything-

I let my mind wonder. What if Dex was keeping something from me? What if what we did was wrong? What if...

"Gah! Stop that! Stop thinking about that. You know what you did wasn't right, but it was worth it!" I scolded myself.

"Why are you talking to yourself?"

I jumped out of my skin.

"Biana!" I yelled.

"Ah, sorry. Should I say... scolding yourself?" she rephrased.

"Wha- no! What are you doing in here?!" I asked as she appeared into vision. Biana smirked.

"Oh, don't think I don't know what you and Dex did. He couldn't keep a secret like that from me!" Biana laughed. I decided to test her.

"What secret?" I inquired. Clearly pushing her buttons.

"Uh, the one about you two having-" she squirmed around, "You know, that," she finished.

Okay, yeah, she knew what we did. I looked away from her. Not bearing to look her in the eyes. She frowned.

"Fitz... You do know that Dex is an Omega. Why would you do that with him? And risk getting him pregnant?" Biana sympathized, walking over to Fitz and rubbed his shoulder.

"I know, Biana, I know I made a stupid choice. But, I didn't force him to do that with me!" I told her. She took that into consideration.

"So, he wanted to risk getting pregnant? I didn't know he wanted something like that..." Biana whispered.

I nodded. Biana rubbed my shoulder even harder.

"Just... Just promise me that you won't tell mom and dad..." I stammered. Trying to keep my composure. Biana nodded as she stood and exited my room.

I broke down into tears. I felt more emotionally vulnerable than ever. What did I do to make myself this way? I felt cold and broken. I reached for a blanket off my bed and wrapped it around myself. I didn't move. I cried and I cried until my eyes were red and no more tears came. I laid down on the hard wooden floor. My eyes felt heavy and I felt tired. My eyes closed and I slept.

------------------[The Next Day]----------------

My eyes were red as I sat down for breakfast.

"Oh my, Fitz. You look terrible! Did you sleep at all last night?" my mom asked me as I rubbed my eyes. She set a plate of something that was green in front of me and I grabbed my fork.

"Yeah, I did, don't worry," I told her. I did sleep. But, I cried myself to sleep. I picked at my breakfast and pushed it away. I got up and got ready.

At school I managed to talk to Dex at least.

"Hey, uhm... did Sophie say anything to you?" Dex asked as he tapped me on the shoulder. I found it cute how short he was compared to me.

"Uh, yeah she did. Why? Did she say something to you as well?" I answered. Dex shrugged.

"If she did it was in hints I didn't catch," Dex told me as we started walking. I laughed at the comment.

"The Black Swan is rubbing off on her. Speaking in riddles and clues," I chuckled. Dex smiled. His dimples becoming apparent. I felt a small blush spread across my face. I looked away.

"I've got a few gadgets I need help with, so do you mind stopping by tonight if you get the chance?" Dex asked. I felt my heart skip a beat. He was asking me to come over!

"Yeah! I'll be there!" I told him. I couldn't ignore my face. It was a shade of magenta.

I never thought of myself ever having a crush on Dex, but maybe it wasn't too late to consider it.
