Chapter 9

********Connor's POV********

When I first met Ariel, I thought I liked her. Maybe even started to like like her. But I don't know anymore. I met Angel when the guys were getting me ready for my date with Ariel. She was a cashier at a store and we were flirting. She put her number on the receipt and we have been texting ever since. There really is no explanation for what I have done. And, honestly, I don't know what to do.

After Ariel slammed the door in my face, I texted Angel and asked if we could hang out. She agreed and she came to my place. We watched a couple movies and Angel eventually passed out on my chest. I needed to talk to Ariel, so I got up from the couch and laid Angel down. I went to a guest bedroom and FaceTimed her. It was 2 am, so I didn't know if she would answer. But, 2 rings later, her face appeared on my screen.

"Ok. It is currently 2 am and I am getting a FaceTime call, from a cheating bastard. What do you want now?"

"I thought we needed to talk." I looked down. I know I kinda cheated, kinda meaning we were only going on our first date, but she was being a little too harsh.

"Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. What's your excuse?"

"Well, I don't really have one. But we need to talk."

"Connor. Just go on already. Your lucky you are even talking to me right now. So, hurry it up." She rolled her eyes. Typical Ariel thing.

"Well. I am seeing someone right now, but I-"

"Oh. The girl I saw you kissing, right?"

"Yeah. Her name is Angel. I met her at a store. On the day we were gonna have our date."

"Wow. That makes me feel a lot better."

"She is at my house right now, too."

"Oh my gosh, Connor. Are you trying to make me jealous? Because I don't want to listen to this right now." She looked down and away. I felt bad. I knew that Ariel was the girl for me. Not Angel. 

"Hold on. I will be right back. And please. Stay on."

"Okay. Okay." I left my phone on the bed and went downstairs to the living room. I got all of Angel's stuff and woke her up.

"Connor. Why do you have my stuff and why did you wake me up?"

"Because I'm ending this."

"Excuse me?"

"Yes, Angel. It's over. I only love one person and it ain't you. So get out of my house. Right now." She yanked her stuff out of my hands and ran out the door. Slamming it shut.

I ran back upstairs to see Ariel half-sleeping.

"Ari." I laughed.

"Look who's back."

"Just letting you know, I just ended everything with Angel." Ariel widened her eyes.

"Are you serious?"

"Completely." I smiled knowing that I was now "single".

"You realize that I'm not going to take you back, until you show me that I'm the only one that matters." She playfully glared, but she was being serious.

"I'm willing to risk my life for you."

"Alright. Well, get all the guys together tomorrow. I wanna go to the beach. 'Kay?"

"Got it. See ya tomorrow." I hung up and went to my room. I set my alarm clock for 9 so that I could get ready and look my best. Even though we were only going to the beach.

********Next Morning********

I got up, took a shower, and got ready. I texted the guys at like 10 telling them to come over and bring stuff for the beach. I made breakfast, for everyone and they all came right when I was done making it.

"Let me guess. We're going to the beach?" Kian said. Being his sarcastic self.

"Yeah. Well. Here's breakfast. We have to be there at like 10:30. So, hurry up." Everyone ate all their food really quick, so we could leave at 10:15. Surprisingly, they were done in like 10 minutes, because they got here at 10:05. I texted Ariel to meet us at 10:30. 

I drove with Ricky and Jc, while Sam and Trevor went with Kian. We got there. I saw Ariel, standing with Halee. Her looking...perfect. I guess everyone noticed I was staring because they all starting laughing and pushing me towards her.
