In A Heartbeat

Chapter 12

For the past few days Dayne has been giving me the cold shoulder,he even told the teacher that I shouldn't tutor him anymore and he has been a real jerk all this while I guess he is finally showing the real side of him.

My parents decided I stayed with Mom and visit Dad every weekend, dad will be moving on Saturday I am trying to understand things from their side believe me I am.

Am in school and Andrea is trying to set me up with a guy I don't trust her with this kind of things believe me the last time it happened it wasn't a good idea.

"Am serious ash give it a try you seriously need a boyfriend!"She said trying to convince me again.

"I don't need a boyfriend am not complaining right, and you know better than anyone I don't believe in such things, the last time I gave my heart to a guy it was awful."I sighed, I remembered my ex Cole,we dated for 2 years everything was still fresh in my memory like it happened today.

Two years earlier.
.............................................................

"I am ending things between us."He said while seating across me and looking down.

"W-why! Y-you don't l-love me anymore?"I stuttered as my mind went places.

"At this point I will be true to you know..... You were a kind of rebound to me....I was hurting at that moment and you happened to me there and I thought you are cool and you will help me move on........believe me I tried to love you but I don't know one can't tell the heart what to do."

A rebound.

Tried to love me.

"COLE WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY,IS IT THAT FOR TWO FUCKING YEARS I WAS A REBOUND YOU DIDN'T FUCKING LOVE ME."I yelled as I tried not to let out the tears that has welled up in my eyes but as I fought I lost the battle as hot-streaming tears flow out from my eyes.

"Please calm down I need you to understand."he said standing up.

I stood up and bang my hands on the table."Calm down,understand, don't you give me that crap,I should understand the fact that I was a rebound for two years and that you didn't even love me,what else did you have to tell huh."

"Am so sorry that you are hearing this but I have to tell you to get it out of my mind.... Well I was frustrated with what happened I tried to tell you but I was sacred on how you will take it so I resorted into cheating on you am sorry and I have found someone I love."

"Sorry,sorry,sorry what the hell are you telling me you two faced bastard,to think I even loved you all of you guys are jerks I hate you!"tears rolled down my check I was angry,hurt and broken.

"Ash....."

"Don't you dare call me that."He came over to me and hugged me from behind.

"Get your filthy hands off my body you good for nothing asshole."he didn't bulge he held to me tightly I muffed 'sorry'

Anger blinded me and I loosened his grip from my body,I gave him a slap across his face and kicked his groin,he bent over to attend to hurt and removed my heels and banged it on his head and left.

.............................................................
Present day:

I shook my head as that horrible incident played in my head.

"I know,but that shouldn't set boundaries for yourself so you are coming to the date no matter what the guy his hot."Andrea said trying to lecture me again, we've been on this topic several times already.

"If you think he's hot why don't you go on the date."I suggested.

"I have a boyfriend you know."she said giggling.

"Yeah that's right,that reminds me how his he Andre right."I said trying to change the subject."He his cool, but don't try to change the subject, so am picking you up by 5o'clock,what do you say."

"Can I say no?"I asked doing the sad puppy face."Nope."she replied popping the'p'."And please do not do that face."she said and I tried to frown but ended up laughing.

"Ok,ok I will go."I said pouting.

"Cheer up girl you will love him I know you will."she said slapping my shoulder playfully and I fake anger.

After school I decided to take a nap and relax for a while before getting ready for the so-called 'date',I rested my back on the bed and before I knew it I fell asleep.

I was sleeping until someone shook me hard but I decided to ignore the unknown person shook harder but I still decided to ignore."If you do not wake up I will pour water on you."that was all it takes for me wake up I dread being poured water on while sleeping.

I slowly opened my eyes and a pear of gray eyes shot right at me."Andrea,what are you doing here and how did you get in."

"I used the extra key under the mat and have you forgotten about the date."she said faking hurt.

"Date.....which date.... Oh."I yawned sleepily.

"Come on let's get you dressed."she said pulling me from from the bed."Andrea can't we reschedule or something am tired."I tried to convince her.

"No,now what to wear."she went over to my wardrobe."Haha wear this."she picked me,I wore it and looked at my reflection in the mirror, a bloody red gown which barely reached my knee and had slit in both sides and hugged my body displaying my curves with I wasn't really comfortable with the dress.

"No I can't wear this it's looks slutty."

"No of course not you just look hut that's all now let me do your make-up."

I sat on the seat in front of the seat and she started with my make-up I loved it because it was simple and she straightened my hair and left it down.

"Done,whoah.....you look.......amazing."she smiled at me and I and I smiled back."Shall we go know."

"Ok,ok fine let's go."I said picking up my purse.

I got to the restaurant,and Andrea pushed me inside leaving me alone I was nervous because this isn't what I wanted.

She told me he his wearing a white T-shirt and sitting close to the window.I saw him his back look somewhat familiar, I took few more steps and took a deep breath his back still has this familiarity.

After taking a deep breath I walked up to the guy and sat opposite him I raised up my head to see the person and it was......Noway..

"C-cole?"
