Brielle's POV (6 Years Later)

"I have had a lot of moments that defined me. I thought I was so lost after my breakup with Colton, but the truth is... that defined me into who I am right now. So I can say I am glad that the Bad Boy was my tutor."

I took a deep breath closing the book setting it down on the table in front of me, I looked down to hear everyone cheering saying what a good book it was. In my opinion it could have been better, it could have been so much better. I don't know if reading it out loud brought back old memories but I am really starting to wish I didn't publish our story. He is going to find out. I looked down at the ring on my finger, don't ask me why I wear it... I just do, it helps me I guess.

"Ms. Kelly?" I shot my head up, "Yes? I'm sorry," My publisher Cady nodded her head toward a young girl in the front row who excitedly dove into her question, "I just want to say that I am a huge fan of "The Bad Boy Is My Tutor?" my question is, how did you write the chapters in Colton's point of view?" That actually was a really great question, "Well I think for me... I wrote what I thought he was thinking or what I had wished he was thinking at that time." She gave me a sweet smile nodding her head. "Next question."

"Hi... big fan! What gave you the inspiration to publish this book? Most people like to keep their epic love stories a secret. Why didn't you?" This thought always went through my head, I honestly didn't understand why I published it when I did. Maybe it was just in spite of him or... I don't know. "Why not? I mean being a writer we write what we know and what we love, sometimes our past is one of the only things that can give us inspiration... so in this case at the time C-Colton was my inspiration... love was my inspiration ." I sighed clenching the edge of the table, whispering to Cady to take no more questions. One question a little kid blurted out right before I left, the question I was dreading, "Do you still love him?" In all honesty I did, but I couldn't say that out loud here. "I'm sorry, no new questions. It's time for the signing." All of the questions at every stop would always be about him and why we haven't gotten back together or was this actually real.

These whole six years have been crazy blur, after I left for New York I started writing more and more. I guess you could say I had a lot on my mind to spill out onto paper. I continued working on mine and his story, I finished it, it wasn't the ending that I was wanting. The ending happened though. About a year after I was at NYU I got a call from a publisher who had said a recommendation for me had been sent to her and she would love to meet with me about publishing my book. I haven't been that stable I can barely even say his name, I haven't been able to sleep that well without medication, I don't understand why I took the breakup so hard but... I did. We haven't talked since then, six years. He is touring around the world though, that doesn't help any of my problems when I look up and see his name and face on a billboard.

In the pictures he still looks the same, just a bit older and rugged. Handsome. I try and I try not to obsess over the breakup or him or even think about it for that matter, but I still love him, I know that may sound silly to love someone even though you haven't physically saw them in six years... but I do still love him. And I hate myself for it everyday.

I'm on my book tour right now at my last stop, Seattle, Washington. I just want to do the book signing without any more questions about him.

Colton's POV

"Alright you ready for your last city?" I sighed nodding my head toward my tour director Calvin, "Where is it again?" He smirked, "Seattle, Washington."  My eyes widened I cant go there I know she's there. We may no have talked but I still have been keeping tabs on her the best that I can.
