Pretty girl wasn't pleased when she found us hugging each other behind the food truck. 'I guess you have an explanation for this?' She asks Noah, sounding angry.

This is humiliating... 'Maybe I should go now.' I say after a few minutes of awkward silence. The girl glares at me, 'yes you should.' I want to walk away, but she grabs my hand and gives me a honeysweet smile, 'and before I forget, Jay Steele asked for you.'

No, no, no. I see the growing confusion on Noah's face. 'What does Jay Steele want from you?' He wants to know, exactly the question "pretty girl" waited for. She turns around to face him, 'don't you know? The two of them were spotted while they were kissing, all the magazines write about it. They think Reighley and Jay are secretly in love with each other.'

She smiles at me for the second time, 'they would be a lovely couple, don't you think Noah? The little sister of a famous DJ and the rockstar... sounds like a love story to me.' I look to the ground, wishing I could vanish into thin air.

'Is that true?' Noah asks softly, 'Reighley?' When my eyes meet his, it's disappointment that I see. 'He didn't kiss me, I swear!' But then she shows him a picture on her phone and destroys thereby my credibility. I immediately knew what he saw on that picture and when it was taken. It was the moment Jay kissed me on the cheek and told me "to see it as an act." He was right about that part, everything was fake, just like the picture. It was taken from the perfect spot, a corner in which it really looked like we kissed. They should win an award for it.

'I guess you're not only playing with my feelings.' He couldn't look at me anymore and I didn't know what to say. 'You can go now, your boyfriend is waiting.' His date says to me. 'Noah?' My voice is shaky and small. 'Just go Reighley.' He says and pulls "pretty girl" closer to his body, wrapping his arm around her. It hurts, but I guess I deserved it. I blink away the tears in my eyes and ignore the stab of jealousy I feel. This is your own fault.

He kisses her right in front of me, so I turn around as fast as I can and I walk away. I manage to hold in my tears until I'm out of sight and then break into sobs. How could I be so stupid?

'There you are!' Abby runs towards me when she sees me, 'are you okay?' She asks and I just want to hug her and cry into her shoulder. 'Not really.' I tell her and manage to laugh. I want to tell her about Noah, but I'm too ashamed. I know she wouldn't judge me but I don't want anyone to know. Abby looks at me with concern evident in her eyes and I have to look away.

'Do you want to go home?' Yes! I want to say, but instead I shake my head, 'no, I'm fine, really.' She quickly gives me a hug. 'Everything will be alright, just get yourself some alcohol and dance with me.' I laugh, roll with my eyes and watch her walking back to her friends. They were throwing their arms up in the air and danced like their lives depended on it.

'Reighley?' It's Jay. Of course it is Jay... No. Don't answer him, don't look at him. Ignore him. I repeat to myself. 'Reighley?' He says, louder this time. I walk away but he simply follows me. 'Don't speak to me Jay.' I say through my teeth and still avoid looking at him.

'Oh come on.' I can tell that he is laughing at me.

'I mean it, leave me alone!' My tone is harsh but I don't care. 'I can't, it's about Alec.' What? My heart drops and I am panicking inside. I turn around and look at him in anger, 'if this is some kind of sick joke, than I swear–' But I can't finish my sentence, because he immediately interrupts me before I can say more.

'I would never joke about something like this. I promised you something and I will keep my word. Your brother isn't alone, you're not alone in this Reighley.'

I sigh and try to calm myself, 'how bad is it?'

When I look at him, I see different things flashing in his green eyes. God, those eyes...

'I think you need to see it for yourself.' I nod and together we rush to his car. 'What happened?' I ask when we drive away, but Jay doesn't answer my question. 'Jay!' His knuckles were white as his hands gripped the leather bounded steering wheel harder than necessary. 'He is completely out of control Reighley.' His eyes are focused on the road and he refuses to look at me. Why did I get the feeling that something wasn't right about this? 'Jay...' I whisper, 'why am I really here?'

Last week, my brother went too far on that party. But after that he acted normal again. Yes, he tried to avoid any conversation with me and never spoke of his little setback. But that was fine by me if he wouldn't do it again. And he silently promised me he wouldn't. He didn't have to use words for that, I just knew. So why was I here, in his car, with him?

'Stop the car Jay!' I yelled and he inhaled heavily, still not answering my question. 'Tell me!' I demanded. Why is he doing this? My heart was beating rapidly when he abruptly stopped the car on the side of the road. 'I just had to see you.'

His eyes met mine and he was...breath taking. I was completely, absolutely, and irreversible enamored, captivated and infatuated by him. It was impossible to describe what I felt in that moment. There were no words for him.

How can I fall in love with two utterly different persons? God, I hated myself for it, but it was true. With Jay it was love at first sight and Noah... Noah was my prince charming.

The things I felt were life changing. I really have to get out of this car! If I didn't, I would do something I might regret afterwards. I opened the door and got out, inhaling the cold air.

He was Jay Steele. He was way out of my league. I couldn't be with him. I didn't even want to, he was an awful person, an arrogant bastard that made fun of me every time he saw me. The only reason he knew who I was, was because of Alec.

He was rich and famous, untouchable, from a whole other world. I could never be part of that. After a few minutes of peaceful silence, Jay got out of the car too and walked over to my side.

'Reighley...' He whispered and before I could react, Jay did something unexpected. He grabbed my waist with excess force and used his own body to push me against the car.

Then, he kissed me, desperately and almost aggressively. He grinded his hips against mine and his lips assaulted mine with passion. One of his arms snaked around my waist and forced me to press my body against his. Barely a second after my body realized what was going on, I did the first thing that came to my mind.

I slapped him.
