He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

Chapter 3

Someone begins knocking on the door.

"Go away," I manage to say through my tears.

"It's Abigail, A, just let me in."

Abigail. I almost forgot she was even here. I open the door and she immediately comes in and slings her arms around me. "Oh honey, I'm so sorry."

"You shouldn't have fucking left me."

"I'm sorry I just-"

"Screw you Ab." I push past her, grab a beer, and head outside. I sit outside where no one else is at and take a drink. I normally never drink, but I think tonight deserves an exception. I've been absolutely humiliated. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten so mad at Ab-

"Mind if I sit?" I look up to see Tony Reynolds standing over me. I nod and he joins me on the porch. "Are you okay?"

I shake my head. "I'll be fine."

"I'm sorry about my brother. He can-"

"Your brother?!"

"Yeah. Jake Reynolds? That's my brother."

"I'm sorry for you."

He laughs. "He's usually at least tolerable."

I laugh. "I honestly can't imagine that."

Tony puts his hand on my knee. "Well I'm still glad you came tonight." We sit in silence for a moment. I end up getting lost in those amazing eyes of his. Tony leans in and I meet him in the middle. When our lips meet, it's not the kind of kiss I had expected from him. I thought his lips would be soft. Instead I find them to be rather rough but I don't mind. I put my hand on top of his and allow his tougne to access my mouth. He puts his other hand on the back of my head and messes with my hair. Our tougnes do a magical dance as our lips move roughly together.

"Looks like you've downgraded." Tony and I immediately stop kissing and see a smirking Jake Reynolds and friends. I barely know this guy but I've had it! I jump up and ignore Tony who is tugging on my hand.

"I'm sorry, I don't recall asking for your input."

Jake laughs and raises his eyebrows in surprise. "I don't recall inviting you to this party."

"Please, if I got invited by you I wouldn't be here."

"Lex! I think it's time to go!" Abigail yells

"Yeah Lex. It's time to go," Jake smirks.

Before I can respond, Abigail is already dragging me to her car. "What the hell was that!"

I shrug as we pull away from the Reynolds house. "I had enough."

"Not with Jake Reynolds."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Abigail sighs. "He's just not someone you mess with."

"I'm sorry but someone needs to put that boy in his place."

"That boy is one of the most popular guys in the school, hun. Just be careful."

I nod. "Thank you. And I'm sorry I got so mad at you."

She smiles slightly. "I get it."

Abigail drops me off at my house and I head inside as quietly as I possibly can. But not quiet enough. "I wondered when you'd come home."

"Dammit Tyler, you scared the shit out of me, don't do that!"

"Well, when my sister is out with Tony Reynolds I tend to get worried."

I sigh. "Oh my Lord Ty mind you're own business." I begin to walk towards the stairs.

"You don't know him like I do. I'm just trying to protect you!"

"Stop trying to protect me and let me live my own life."

"Alexis, you're gonna get hurt!"

"Tyler, I don't need your help!" I glance down at my phone to see a message from Tony.

Tyler gives a slight laugh. "And I bet you that's him now."

"So what if it is?"

"Wow." Tyler pushes past me and heads up the stairs.

Why does Tyler hate Tony so much?

So this chapter was eventful!

What is up with Jake? What do you think will happen with Tony and Alexis? Why is Tyler so overprotective with Tony?
