Shattered Truths

As Ace and I were sitting on his bed doing  homework some teachers gave out today. I was thinking if he would go to the party this Friday.

"What are you thinking about Lel's ?"

"Just about a party I heard that's happening this Friday."

He looked up from his laptop.

"Already? Isn't it the first week of school."

"That's exactly what I said but I was thinking we should go."

"Layla. You know what happened at the last party we went to. I don't want that to happen again."

"It won't I swear. I won't wonder to far again."

"I don't know. You were so upset. I don't want to see you like that again."

"I know and you won't. I will stick close by I swear." I gave him a smile.

"Fine, but I am going to keep an eye on you."

"Okay, dad" I said as I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up, You know what I meant Lel's and i'm serious. I don't want you to get upset again."

"I know and I won't."

We both nodded and went back to our homework.

Ace doesn't know what really happened when we went to that party last time together. He thinks I just wondered off into the woods too far drunk and got lost but in reality someone spiked my drink. I only get my drinks from Ace or I get them myself but someone must have put something in it while I wasn't paying attention.

I don't know who but I had a feeling it was Daxton because first off he is creepy and he was the only one I remember being next too when I woke up in the woods. I felt really sick and weak when I got up to.

I don't really remember what happened that night but I just know it's something I would want to forget if I figured out. It's another reason why I don't like Daxton or being around him much but he is Ace's friend so I gotta deal with him at times.

It was getting dark out and Ace and I both have finished up our homework by now so we ended up watching "Gossip Girl". Only because I wanted to and Ace just tagged along.

"I don't understand why they even care for this so called girl of gossip" he said while looking at me all confused.

I looked at him and started laughing.

"What?"

"You said girl of gossip" as I said laughing

"Isn't that what she is?" He said still confused.

"I mean yeah, but it's Gossip Girl not girl of gossip".

Same thing he said while putting his hand on my thigh.

I was shocked. Ace doesn't really put his hand on my thigh. I would always have to make the first move.

He moved his hand up and down my thigh softly. I started to blush. I covered my face with my hand so he couldn't tell. I was hoping he would move his hand higher and higher each time he moved his hand up.

"Layla why are you covering your face with your hand?" as he said grabbing my hand and moving it away from my face.

He moved closer to me and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. His face was so close to mine at this point. He looked at me and I saw something different in his eyes. They weren't sparkling like they usually would, it was something different and I liked it a lot. It had to be lust and I know it has to be but I didn't want to get my hopes up.

He moved towards my ear to say something until we heard a knock on the door.

"Ace and Layla are you hungry? I made dinner".

I tried to answer but nothing came out of my mouth. I tried but no words could come out.

"Yeah, mom. Layla and I will be down there in a sec".

"Okay, sweetie" Rachel said as her footsteps faded away.

Ace looked back at me and smirked and whispered in my ear "next time".

He got up from the bed and my mouth was dropped open. I didn't know what to say. This has never happened between him and I before.

"Come on Lel's before the food gets cold. I know you don't like your food cold."

I got up from the bed and we headed to the kitchen.
