MARCH
[ ALLISON'S POV ]

My hand aggressively threw the pencil at the white brick wall causing it to snap in half.

My hands rested on my forehead feeling anger practically pouring out of me.

"Allison, just breathe." Carly put her book down and stood up from my couch-walking over to me.

"I can't fucking do it! I can't keep writing about our moments together!" My hand stressfully rubbed my temples.

Her hands grabbed onto my shoulders and started to massage them to help my body become less tense.

Carly is my manager. She's my age, but extremely smart when it comes to the literature business side of the world.

"I know it's hard to write about your past with him, I know it makes you miss him, but in order to finish the book, you have to write about your moments with him." She told me in a calm voice.

My chest breathed heavily in-and-out. "What I used to go through is something that no one knows about. Having to write out that the love of my life used to abuse me makes me sick to my stomach."

Her thumbs continued to press into my shoulder muscles, "You can do it. Think about the good things you guys have been through. All of the smiles, all the dates, being in bed." She said which threw me off guard.

My head lifted from my hands as I looked up to her in shock, "how do you know we slept together?" I raised my eyebrow at her.

She let go of my shoulders with a smirk on her face, "I might have read what you've got so far to make sure there was no spelling errors."

"You detailed sex very vividly. The way his gentle hands ran over the skin of your stomach all the way to your hips." She grinned evilly.

"I hate you." I shook my head while my tongue rubbed the inside of my cheek.

She giggled lightly while sitting back down into the couch. "So how far have you gotten?"

I let out a stress filled sigh, "well I wrote about our sex moment last month and I'm not much further on. It's taking a lot longer than I thought because of how stressed I've been."

She stayed silent not wanting to say anything she'd regret.

"Not having my phone was supposed to take a shorter time to write, but it feels like it's just taking longer." I complained.

"Just think. In June, you'll be able to see him again. You'll be done with your book and be back in his arms." She grabbed onto the handle of her coffee mug and put it to her lips.

She's right. If I just pull through with the rest of the book. I'll be able to see him sooner.

APRIL
[ KELSEY'S POV ]

"Are you gonna sleep at my dorm tonight?" I whispered into Jalens ear so he could hear me more clearly over the music.

I watched his lips as a smirk appeared onto his face. He licked his lips while his eyes pinned onto my lips, "Yeah."

I leaned in pecking his pink mouth while turning back to the conversation we were all having in the kitchen.

"No he almost hit my damn car! He would have been dead." Grayson crossed his arms angrily.

"Why are you worried about the car when you were inside the car?" Taylor raised her eyebrows confused.

"My car is sexy. If someone dents it, they are dead." He popped his knuckle then letting it a small chuckle to signal he was joking.
