Never the Same

Forty

RYDER'S POV

"That's Alison's room. They'll be in there. Alison normally sneaks down or goes on the balcony," Jaydon says and points to a room on the side of the house.

"How often do you do this man," I ask him because he seems to everything about this.

"Maybe three times a week at the least, grab a pebble and throw it out the window." I stare at him like he's a mad man but I do as he says.

"What do you want," Alison asks when we comes out onto the balcony after we each threw 20 pebbles. I'm not gonna lie, Alison is really hot but she doesn't compare to Aspen.

"Why are you mad at me?" Alison looks like she's been crying, red puffy eyes and all the signs.

"Keep your voice down." She places a finger on her lips and looks down.

"Where's Aspen," I ask Alison, not to quiet but not to loud.

"She's not here." Alison's tone was confident and almost full proof.

"She's biting her nails, she's lying," Jaydon whispers to me, I nod my head.

"Who's there," a voice from inside her room asked, I could tell that voice from anywhere, Aspen. Her voice cracked and it sounded like she's been crying, that breaks my heart.

"No one. Pause the movie and don't come out here," Alison says and looks between me and Jaydon.

"You're a horrible liar," Jaydon says and smirks up at her, she just swallows the lump in her throat and continues biting her nails.

"You need to leave and never come back Jaydon. Do you understand me? I bet that you were a part of that bet too. God you were probably about to win tonight! It's not happening. Go home faggot." She walks back into her room, slamming the balcony door behind her.

"That was a bust," I say and start to head back to my bike.

"Are you seriously not gonna go up there and tell Aspen that you love her and kiss her? Because that's a dick move bro. Bye," Jaydon says and starts climbing up the side of Alison's house until he reaches the balcony. He knocks on the door.

ASPENS POV

I sat on Alison's bed crying and screaming into her pillow with her comforting me. Then there was a knock on her balcony door, she froze and I say up. "What do I do," she whispered to me and I shrug.

"I'm gonna answer it," Alison whispers and stands up slowly. I wipe my eyes and she tiptoes to the door and opens it.

"I love you," the person on the other side of the door says, Jaydon. My heart sinks as he grips her by the waist before she could reply and he kisses her.

"Where's Ryder," I ask softly, causing them to break apart and Alison give Jaydon the death glare.

"Being a coward," Jaydon says and smiles softly at me. I fall back into her pillow and groan.

"Move." I push Jaydon away and look out the balcony, I could only see Ryder driving away, stealing my heart with him.

"Hey Cam. Can you pick me up at Alison's," I ask into the phone, I wanted to go home so I called him.

"Yeah. Give me the address," Cam said in a lazy voice. I told him the address and he was here in five minutes.

"I'll call you baby. Tomorrow we can have another ice cream day. My treat but your house," Alison says and hugs me, I sigh. She's lucky that Jaydon came back, god knows what they're gonna do tonight.

"Leave room for Jesus you two," I say sternly and grabbed my heels and dress.

"Hey," Cam says when I hop in the back seat because Nash was in the passenger seat.
