Triplets (j.s.)

Chapter 3

How have you guys been? I have 250 math problems due at the end of the quarter and 16 weeks worth of IXL's due in language arts due after spring break. And I haven't done any🙄

Anyways haha, here's your chapter:)

_______________

He's grabbing my hips, holding me close, kissing my lips, but I know this is wrong. This is very wrong. I know I should be somewhere else.

Ever wonder why you gave certain dreams and/or visions? Just of random things? Well, I wonder that too. Lately I've been having these dreams, they're not normal by any means, but I don't know what they mean.

"Adeline? You dozed off again" Hayleigh told me while nudging my shoulder. I quickly remember what we were talking about and get back to the topic.

"I'm sorry. Repeat what you said please?" I ask, feeling bad for my action.

"I asked, how's Austin?"

"Oh he's good! Still going strong haha," I reply to her with a not to enthusiastic smile at the end.

"You know," she says as she pops a grape in her mouth, " if you weren't dating Austin, I probably would to be honest. Not that I would date ur ex."

My eyes pop out of my head.

"YOU WHAT?"

"ahaha I'm kidding, take a joke" she replies with a giggle.

"Oh. Well, I saw you got a text from Asher while you were sleeping. What does he mean by that?" I ask, really wanting to know the answer.

"Just asked him who is crush was. Since the triplets don't ever have a crush on anyone, I was just curious," she responded eating another grape.

"Oh"

I hated mornings.

Mornings involved me getting up out of my bed and functioning, something I didn't like to do. I didn't think getting up every morning even mattered after what happened to my brother.

I sit up and scratch my arms as I stand up on the floor. I walk over to my desk and pull out some makeup.

I always hated how I looked. That's one reason why I had depression and self harmed, but no one knew.

I pull out some eyeshadow and apply nude shadows on my eyes with a fluffy brush. I then apply coats of mascara on my eyes, trying to make sure it doesn't touch my eye shadow. After that I just do my face makeup. Concealer, powder, blush, and highlighter.

Austin

I can't take you to school today because Hayleigh needs a ride. Asher is gonna pick you up, okay? I love you!

Did he just ditch me for Hayleigh? And he's making me ride to school with his brother? His brother hates me!

Adeline

Okay. love you too

I roll my eyes as I get up and walk over to my drawers and pull out a pair of blue Nike shorts and a black tshirt, along with a pair of socks. I slip off my pajamas and throw on my clothes as I tuck my tshirt into my shorts. As I walk over to my closet and pull out my dirty white Nike shoes. I slip those on and tie them with a double knot. I walk back over to my desk and look at my rats nest. I grab my pink paddle brush and slowly brush through my hair, trying not to pull it out in the process.

I then grab my back pack and walk into the kitchen, searching for something to eat. I find the s'mores pop tarts and throw those into the toaster.

In the meantime, I go on my phone and find Asher's contact.

Adeline

What time will you be here?

I walk back into the kitchen as I wait for a reply and grab my poptart. I gobble it down and walk into the bathroom. I grab my pink oral toothbrush and crest toothpaste. I brush my teeth until they're minty fresh as I hear a knock on the door.

I spit out all of the toothpaste and walk over to the door.

"Ready?" Asher asks.

He was wearing Khaki shorts, black shirt, Nike socks, and Nike shoes.

Ya really couldn't get any hotter than that.

"Um yea" I say as I grab my phone and shut the door on my way out. I follow him to his car and open up the passenger door. I set my backpack on the floor and get in, buckling my seatbelt.

He puts his right arm on my seat as he looks behind him, pulling out of the driveway. He gets to the end of the street and takes a right, heading towards the main road.

I look down to my right and notice my wrists. I look around for one of my jackets, but can't find it. My heart skips a beat.

This can't be happening.

I look under my backpack, not there. I zip open my backpack, not there.

"The hell is wrong with you?" Asher asks as he peeks my way for a split second, then turns back to the road.

"I forgot my jacket," I say with nervousness in my voice. I don't want him to know. Austin doesn't even know.

"Why do you need a jacket? It's 80 degrees," he tells me, very straight forward.

"I just do!" I say raising my voice. His eyes get a bit bigger from my attitude. He's always knows me as the shy girl who is always nice.

"And why do you?" He asks, trying to get smart with me.

"Well, um, it gets cold in class," I say.

"You know, you're the worst at lying. But do you wanna borrow a sweatshirt of mine?" He offers.

"Yea, that'd be great," I say, going back to my shy self.

"It's in the back seat if you wanna grab it," he tells me. I just nod my head in response as I lean over and grab the black nike sweatshirt.

Asher POV

I glance over as Adeline pulls the sweatshirt over her head. I notice red marks on her right wrist. There were multiple and some looked newer than others.

Once she gets it over her head, she immediately pulls her right arm through the sleeve, seeming as if she'd be scared if anyone saw. Then she places her left arm in the other sleeve.

Her hair blows in the wind that's coming through the window. Her eye glisten in the sunlight.

Her profile was perfect to me. All of her freckles on her face were adorable.

Wait- did I just?

Well fuck
