spending summer... can't be good! 17

"Hey Giselle," Axel said, running his fingers through his hair. He looked like a mess. There were dark circle under his eyes and he looked so tired like he hasn't been getting any sleep at all.

"Why are you here?" I demanded. He stepped forward, closer to me, but Seth shoved him back and gave him a menacing glare.

"Leave," Seth said through gritted teeth, clenching his fists. Bray looked pissed too. I sighed and stepped in front of them. I want to know what Axel wanted to tell me.

"It's alright," I told them. I motioned for Axel to talk. He smiled.

"Can we just talk?" he asked. Should we? I mean, with what we've been through, I guess I can give him this much.

"Yeah," I said. Bray and Seth stared at me in disbelief.

"What's going on here?" Liv asked. She saw Axel and a murderous glare flashed on her face.

"I'm just going to talk to Axel," I said calmly. Her eyes widened.

"Why would you do that? Don't waste your breath on him!" Liv said. I shook my head.

"I'll be fine," I said and walked out to the front porch. Axel followed me out.

"How are you?" he asked, sitting beside me.

"Surprisingly better than I thought," I said. He nodded.

"I'm sorry," he whispered. I turned to him and shook my head.

"That doesn't change anything," I said.

"I know, but I just wanted you to know," he said.

"Is that all you came here to say? That you're sorry?" I asked. He shook his head and laughed without humor.

"That's not even half of it, G. I know that sleeping with Lauren was a mistake. It was a stupid mistake that I wished I could take back," he said. I started tearing up.

"I can't believe you cheated on me. To tell you the truth, we just weren't working out, but it hurt that you cheated on me," I said. He nodded.

"I'm an idiot, okay? I took you for granted. I thought that maybe with whatever I did, it'll be okay because I'll still have you around. But I know I lost you for good now," he said. I stared up at the sky.

"Remember when you asked me out?" I asked.

"Yeah," he murmured.

*Flashback*

"Hey Giselle, want to know something?" hotter than hot Axel Deery asked me. He was one of the top 10 people at school that were always wanted. We were sitting on the grass just staring up at the sky. It was dark but lit by the millions of stars.

"Sure," I said, looking up at the beautifully lit sky.

"Isn't tonight beautiful?" he asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, it's so calm," I said. His hand brushed my cheek and I blushed. If anyone told me that I would be sitting here with Axel Deery just looking up at the sky, I'd tell them to "get out of town" but now, here I am.

"Well, the stars should be ashamed of themselves," Axel said all of a sudden. I looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" I asked.

"They cannot even begin to compare to the goddess that is sitting beside me," he said with a grin. I blushed furiously. He leaned closer and kissed me softly on the lips.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked.

*End of flashback*

It was perfect. And so sweet.

"Look Giselle, everything I said was true," he said. "I do believe you're more beautiful than the stars and I can assure you, I do love you."

"Axel-"

"Don't say anything, G. Just let me finish," he pleaded. I nodded. "G, I messed up when I slept with Lauren. To tell you the truth, it wasn't the first. I slept with 2 others during the relationship." My eyes widened. I wasn't expecting that.

"How could you?" I asked. He looked away.

"I don't know. Like I said, I took you for granted and I wish I hadn't. Giselle, I come here today to talk to you. I'm not going to ask or beg for you to take me back because I know it's impossible. I know that I lost my chance. Besides, I know your heart belongs to another," he said. I froze.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm not stupid, Giselle. I know how you feel about Braydon. I guess I cheated because I believed that you were going to leave me anyway and I had to move on. I know it's not an excuse but I did it anyways. Giselle, all I want is for us to be okay. We don't even have to be friends. I just want you to forgive me. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but please just forgive me one day. Even if it takes you a decade, just please don't hate me forever. I wouldn't be able to live with that," he said, his face full of desperation. He even started tearing up. I smiled.

"I'll forgive you one day Axel, I promise," I said. It was true. I would forgive him one day. It might take awhile, but it would happen. He smiled.

"That's all I ask for, G. Will you do me one last favor?" he asked. I nodded.

"Sure," I said.

"Tell Bray how you feel. I wouldn't want him to miss out on someone as great as you. And make sure you let him know he's one hell of a lucky guy," he said. I smiled and hugged him.

"Bye Axel," I whispered.

"This isn't goodbye, Giselle. We'll see each other one day and I hope that when we do, you will have already forgiven me," he said. I nodded. He stood up and gave me a short peck on the cheek and went into his car and drove away. I went back into the house in tears. Happy tears.

"Did that ass hurt you?" Seth asked. I wiped away my tears and shook my head.

"He hurt no one but himself," I said. Seth gave me a confused look. I smiled and headed upstairs. On the way, I saw Bray. He gave me a short hug, but that hug meant everything. It made me make the decision that I would tell Bray how I felt before this summer ended. I needed to. Axel may have ruined this summer, but he also may have just made it better.

I know all of you must hate Axel, but I hope after this, you don't hate him as much :)
