Hudson's P.O.V.
I had never felt so... what was the word?
Betrayed! That's it!
My jaw dropped as I saw the skinny brown haired boy walk in to the coffee shop, racing towards Maya.
I was confused as fuck.
What was going on?
Then I heard the words "You're late for our date" and I felt sick to my stomach.
I hoped it wasn't true.
Date?
What the fuck? They were dating?
There could be the possibility that it was all an act and he was saving her from the girl who had a weird vibe to her.
And if it was an act, he should definitely pursue a career in acting.
They both dashed out the coffee shop, his arm around her.
I was so annoyed. If she needed someone to save her from the situation, why didn't she ask me?
I felt so stupid, I was practically chasing a girl who had no interest in me whatsoever.
She even told me to my face that she didn't like me.
And now her actions had proved she was telling the truth.
Disgusted with myself for being stupid, I went to Adrian's house.
I needed a distraction from her. I needed to stop obsessing over her.
I was acting like a horny teenager.
...
I was sat in a club with Adrian. Chloe was here with Zack, she was sat on his lap.
Zack was talking to Adrian about something. I was focusing on the drink in my hand.
I was angry, annoyed and pissed. I deserved this drink, I assured myself, gulping it down.
"You seem sexually frustrated," smirked Chloe, her lips were painted a deep red and they looked glossy.
I glared at her. Her blonde hair was stuck to her lips and they made smacking sounds when she spoke.
"I can help," she shrugged.
No thank you, I told myself.
Chloe was a fucking headache and plus, she was with Zack today. I couldn't do that to him. That would be breaking the bro code.
Maybe tomorrow, I joked to myself.
"So?" she raised her eyebrows, wanting an answer.
"You're with Zack," I said. He tuned in to our conversation.
"What about me?" he asked.
"You're taking Chloe home today," I told him. Adrian had now also tuned in to our conversation.
"Nah, you can have her. I've been taking her home with me for the past week now. Sharing is caring," he winked, pulling Chloe back on to his lap.
"I'm all yours lads. Who's taking me home today?" she bit her lip, looking at Adrian. "You're free to take me too, Adrian," she cheekily smiled, then turning her gaze to me. "Or if you want, we can all the spend the night together today," she smirked.
Fucking never.
Adrian rolled his eyes. "Good luck," he squeezed my shoulder and walked off.
He was still hooked on his ex.
