*Laken's Pov*

My date with Anton went amazing. I was beyond happy to have him back in my life again. I was in love with him. How was I going to tell Bradley? I didn't know if I could tell him. I don't want to lose our friendship, or whatever our relationship is now.

What had I gotten myself into? This was bad enough two years ago. What am I doing with my life?

I sighed and pressed my back to the door, sliding down it. I hear my dad chuckle and I smile.

"Bradley came over. He was looking for you." He said, picking me up off of the ground and setting me on the couch.

"Oh. I guess I'll talk to him tomorrow?" I said quietly. I couldn't see him tonight. I wasn't ready to tell him yet. I wasn't ready to break his heart.

*Anton's Pov*

After I drop Avanelle off at her house, I drive home myself. I am only rewarded with the constant feeling of guilt and self pity. I screwed everything up even more on that date. Why didn't I just tell her? Instead I made out with her once again. I felt so stupid. I was just getting myself into more and more trouble. At this rate, I wouldn't have anyone who loved me. I feel like I always seem to mess things up.

I pull into the driveway of the house I had just bought in France. I bought it so I could be closer to Ava...

I open the door to be greeted by my girlfriend. She hugs me tightly and my guilt seems to get even deeper.

"I love you." I say, ruffling her bright red hair. She smiles her beautiful smile and tells me she loves me too.

*Laken's Pov*

It's almost impossible for me to fall asleep tonight. I'm sweating from head to toe even though I don't have any of my blankets on. My nerves were sky high and they wouldn't come down. I take a drink from the glass of water on my my bedside table, hoping it might calm me down a bit. When I finally get to sleep it's four a.m. I end up crying myself to sleep.

When I wake up, Bradley is sitting beside me on my bed. My eyes open wide.

"Hey, you're awake." He smiles at me and grabs my hand. I fight back the tears in my eyes.

"Hi...What are you doing here?" I ask with a forced smile.

"Your dad let me in." What is it with my dad letting everyone into my house?! "He said that you could talk to me today."

"Oh. Yeah, I forgot about that.." I trailed off, sitting up on my bed.

"I'm so glad I can actually talk to you...without you saying that you don't love me that wa-"

"Bradley...stop." I said quietly, cutting him off. I felt horrible. I had to tell him.

"I-can't do this. I'm in love with somebody else." I blurted out. His face looks shocked at first and he chuckles a bit. I look up at him and he frowns, realizing I'm serious.

"You-you-but...who?" He stammers. I look at my hands. I shook my head and squeezed my eyes together.

"What? You can't tell me?" He's mad.

"Anton. It's Anton." I choke out.

"Who the hell is Anton?"

"The dj...Zedd." I tell him.

"Isn't he like ten years older than you?" He curses and grabs my arm tightly.

I tell him everything. How this all started...everything.

"That is messed up. That's illegal." His fingers dig into my arm even more.

"Bradley-"

"Shut up." years are flowing from my eyes by now.

"You're hurting me." I whimper. He throws my arm into the bed and leaves the room. I hear the front door slam. I cry for hours.
