Preston's POV

"Just a summer fling?" Tyler says as I blew my nose.

"Just a summer fling," I say the tears falling.

"Preston, I know you're lying, you can let it out," Tyler says,

"No..." I say holding in.

All my thoughts and feelings are a fucking mess

Damn you Tia

"Celestia," he says, "she was a girl. A girl who fucked you up. Now all your drinks and feelings are a fucking mess."

"She's something else," I say sitting in the car.

"There's life after this, you know?" He says.

"How would you know? You have Morgan," I sigh.

"After I've been in love before," he says, "you need to find someone like her."

"Like," I say, "not her."

Tia's POV

"Oh Celestia, it's so nice to see you," Marina says as she helps me unpack.

My mother had just left me to unpack my things with Marina.

"So," she smirks, "any cutie Hawaiian boys?"

I grinned at the comment.

"Yes," I say, "one. We had a fling, I did cut it off though. Besides, I'm only there for my dad."

She grins looking at my purse in the room.

"Marina, can you hand me the bed sheet?" I ask, "Marina?"

"What's this?" She asks holding the Polaroids.

"Oh, um, I don't... no... it was just an adventure," I say moving my tv onto my bookcase, "it wasn't anything."

She sighs placing the photos on my desk.

"So, how about now? College parties and trying marijuana?" She laughs.

"I guess so, isn't that what college is about," I laugh as I glanced at my phone.

Tyler Martinez tagged you and four others in a post.

I opened my phone revealing a picture of me and Morgan together. Swiping I see a picture of Preston and another girl...

You want her, you need her, and I will never be her...

My heart shattered. Was it really a fling? How'd it turn out this way? How...

"Tia!" I hear Jack's voice.

"Jack!" I laugh hugging him.

Jack was my friend since middle school. He helped me throughout my entire hardship.

Jack had brown hair and blue eyes and fair skin.

"Thought you'd never be back," he smiles, "I'm so glad we're all going to the same school."

"I am too," I say.

"Well guys, I better get going back to my dorm, I'll see you guys later," Marina says, "night."

Marina walked out into the room as I see Jack stay.

"So, Tia, you maybe want to go out sometime?" He asks.

"What? Jack, you've known me for years. I don't date," I say.

"Because you're broken," he says, "let me fix you. Please?"

"Okay."

Preston's POV

"Preston, meet Jenna, Jenna, this is Preston," Jake says, "y'all should get to know each other. Have some chats."

Jenna's pale skin and blonde hair went hand in hand. Her light green eyes had me out of whack.

"Hey, I'm Jenna," she smiles.

"Preston," I say as she hands me a drink.

"Hey Pressy," she says, "I know you. The one player."

"Not anymore," I say, "I'm turning over a new leaf."

"Really?" She says surprise, "what do you say about you and I?"

Maybe there is life after Celestia.

"Yes," I say, "let's do this."
