The Wrong

VII

Asia's POV

After school me and Andrew had a small pointless conversation. He tried to win me back, but a sweet speech and buff arms around my waist was not going to get me back at all. I was worth more than that. When I was done hearing his bullshit I gave him a peck on the cheek and headed to practice. Today was a varsity-only practice so I had no choice. Besides that, I was co-captain! Roxy, the captain, was not coming because she had internship so that meant I was in charge.

When I got there I saw the girls running their laps. A regular captain would've done the same, but I however, was not about to run those long laps. I sat at the bench and took out my phone. I had six messages and they were all from Andrew.

"Babes I miss you." "Please forgive me." "I can't live without you." I rolled my eyes and shut my phone. As soon as I was about to get up, I felt someone's arms cover my eyes. "Guess who it is," they said. Immediately I removed their arms and turned around. It was VJ. He was wearing blue and black Adidas shorts with matching sneakers. He had on his football t-shirt with his beanie on. Someway somehow, VJ always managed to make every outfit bomb dot com.

"Why are you here?" I giggled. I started to feel comfortable around VJ. We were spending so much time together that I started to forget what he did to me last year.

"Came to check on you."

"What you mean?" I gave him a wary look. I guess he got tired of standing because he pushed me over and sat next to me.

"Ain't I tell you I gotchu?" He gave me a smirk. I busted out laughing. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't take VJ seriously. "What's funny," he asked.

"YOU!" I started laughing even more. "You know you just want to spend some time with me. No need to lie and tell me "you got me," I said adding quotes around the you got me.

"Oh I see your workkkk," yelled one of the girls running their laps. I rolled my eyes and cursed at her. I didn't want anyone thinking I liked VJ because I didn't. I mean, I didn't know if I liked him. I was spending all of this quality time with him so I was pretty confused. Maybe I did like him...

"Don't act like you don't want me age." He smiled at me.

"Who's age? My name is Asia. Boy get it right." I laughed again. His presence just kept making me happy.

"That's my nickname for you." I rolled my eyes and got up, but he grabbed my fingers.

"Give me a kiss." He whispered. Was he crazy?

"How would Andrew feel about that?"

"I honestly don't care how he would feel about it age."

"Don't call me that," I hissed.

"C'mon, just give me a kiss." He got up and started to hold my hand. His hands were so warm. I looked into his eyes and thought for a second. Was this right? Did I want to kiss him? Was it worth it? I didn't know the answer. The girls kept running past us saying slick shit, but I didn't care. I backed away from VJ.

"You don't deserve one." I said jokingly.

"Don't tell me you're still hung up on Andrew!" VJ was right. I loved Andrew with all my heart. I spent five months with Andrew! Why wouldn't I be hung up on him? All of our small memories started to fill my mind. Why didn't I just accept him when he came to me? Why did I have to play hard get? I was so confused. It seemed like one minute I loved Andrew and the other minute I loved VJ. What was wrong with me. "ASIA!?" VJ yelled. He disrupted my thinking. "You still love Andrew don't you?" He asked. His voice got weak and I could sense the pain in his heart. I hated hurting people. I felt like if you hurt someone, you'll get hurt in the long wrong.

"No," I mumbled. I was lying so hard, but I couldn't let VJ know that. If he knew I still loved Andrew he would be heart broken. I didn't even understand why I cared if he was heart broken or not. VJ hurt me before. He made me cry blood and shed tears. Why was his heart so important to me? He smiled at me and asked for the kiss, but I kept backing away.

"If you don't love him no more, give me a kiss." I looked at him and kissed his cheek. I couldn't kiss VJ. Well at least not after our conversation. I didn't want to hurt Andrew even though he probably wasn't ever going to know about the situation. I loved Andrew and the love I had for him was defiantly more then the love I had for VJ.

VJ's POV

I didn't like Asia. She belonged to my brother. The only thing I wanted was to wreck her and Andrew's relationship. I always told Asia in the past not to trust an upperclassmen, but she kept walking on the path to failure. There was a point where I actually did have love for Asia, but those feelings have died down. Players don't catch feelings, we swerve and brake them.

When Asia told me she was over Andrew she completed my plan. I went over to the court with Andrew after leaving her practice and gave him the news.

"Yo!" I hollered. He ran to me and we did our short bro hug.

"Wassup?" He asked out of breath.

"You need to get over Asia man. That's wassup." He gave me a crazy look, but I kept my composure.

"What are you talking about? You know she's my first true love. I can never get over her."

"Well she's definitely over you and to make things worst she tryna get with me." When I said that he dropped the ball in his hands and sat me down.

"You lying."

"On my moms! She told me she was over you and then kissed me."

"What the fuck!" He yelled. I could see the anger in his eyes. He started to ball up his fist and close his eyes. When he opened them I spotted small tears form. I tried not to laugh. Andrew was really bitching over Asia. She wasn't even all that to be honest. I swallowed my laughter and put my arm around him.

"Bro chill. You deserve better. I knew she wasn't right for you the second I met her. It's not your fault. You know you can get any girl you want."

"But I don't want no other girl, I need Asia." I gave him a look. Why couldn't he just hate her already? I started to get annoyed so I made up an excuse and left him.

Andrew's POV

VJ told me about the kiss with Asia and I couldn't help but brake down. I loved Asia so much. First she slept with my bestfriend and now she wanted to get with him. I've never gotten my heart broken before, but I have to say...that shit hurts. I sat on the bench crying my eyes out. I didn't feel like going home. I wanted to die. Kill myself and die. I couldn't deal with Asia and her bullshit. I couldn't stop crying. I wasn't a cryer, so I knew that these tears were real. I hated crying in front of my boys too. It made me look like a little bitch, but honestly I didn't care. I loved Asia and if crying took the whole world to understand that, than it was fine.

Author's POV.

Sometimes we don't realize how important it is to watch who we surround ourselves with. Andrew went home that night and swallowed thirteen pills. He couldn't bare the fact that his one love did not feel the same way. He invested so much time with Asia. He loved her so much. Words couldn't describe. He didn't think there was any point of living anymore, so he took his own life. His mother later found him and rushed him to the hospital.

Friends these days are your biggest enemies. They are the ones wishing for your failure while you are struggling so hard to get to the top. No one can be trusted. Like I said before, we sometimes think our enemies are the ones stabbing our backs, when really it is the ones we hold close. The people that we think will catch a bullet for us are the ones who are holding the gun. In Andrew's case it was the one he called "bro" that tore his life into shreds. This is only the beginning.

Happy reading.
