River Haven

Chapter 10

Sasha was following Alexa as they made their way back towards the city.

"Why did you tell me that?" Sasha asked.

"I don't know, honestly.. Maybe I feel guilty for what my family did to your father." Alexa told her shyly.

Sasha gave Alexa a skeptical look.

"You thought that would make me feel better? Knowing that you're suffering?" Sasha asked.

"Does it?" Alexa asked.

"No, not at all." Sasha said.

Alexa looked up at her in confusion.

"Look.. I know I've spent the past ten years hating you but.." Sasha tried to say.

"But what?" Alexa asked.

Sasha took a deep breath.

"Maybe I was wrong to do that.. It's not right for me to blame you for you parents actions.." Sasha struggled to say.

Alexa gave her grateful look as she let out a slight smile. But suddenly, Adam pulled up and got out of his car.

"Let's go." Adam said with frustration.

Sasha watched as Alexa glanced back at Adam.

"I think that's your que." Sasha told her.

Alexa let out a small laugh.

"I'll see you around?" Alexa asked.

Sasha thought it over for a moment and let out a reluctant smile.

Adam stared a hole through Sasha as Alexa got in the car. Sasha looked down when her phone buzzed. She had three missed calls mom and six missed calls Ricochet.

"Where are you?"

-Bayley

"I'm worried."

-Bayley

Adam drove furiously back into town with Alexa in the back seat.

"You know my dad's going to fire you if he finds out you lost me again." Alexa said.

"I didn't lose you. You snuck off." Adam said.

"Either way.. He won't be too happy about you letting me ditch school." Alexa said.

Adam looked over at her with annoyance.

"So maybe we should just keep this little slip up between us?" Alexa asked with an innocent smile.

Adam shook his head in frustration with the situation.

Downtown, Aj brought Phil a cup of coffee as they met outside of Eddie's Cafe.

"So.. I was thinking we could go out for dinner tonight." Phil said as Aj put her arm around him.

"Oh yeah?" Aj asked happily.

"Yeah, I have a lot to make up for since I had to work last night." Phil siad.

Aj smiled to herself.

"Dinner sounds great, babe." Aj said as they stopped walking.

Just down the street, Dean was getting in his car when he saw Aj press her lips against Phil's. When they broke the kiss, Aj glanced over Phil's shoulder and saw Dean watching. He let out a small laugh to himself and got in his car. Aj faked a smile to Phil as Dean drove by with his hand draped over the steering wheel, giving Aj a sinister smile.
