Christian Turners' Upward Fall (BXB)

The Other Side

I feel like this POV is LONG overdue 🤭 so here ya go. Hope it puts some perspective on the story and how certain characters feel 🤷‍♀️

Samuels POV

I just had what I would like to count as my first real date. Despite it being at Christians apartment and involved greasy pizza it was better than any other so called "date" I've been on with my previous boyfriends. Or sorta boyfriends.

River was wrong. He liked to argue that my obvious crush on Christian was absolute bullshit. He even went so far as to say I was a masochist for liking someone so-how do I put it, preoccupied with his own problems? No that isn't right. Perhaps someone so mysterious? A player?

River liked to rope Christian in as a "fuckboy". Although this claim could almost technically be true based on the rumors about his sex life, but I couldn't help but think Christian was better than that.

Christian got nervous and anxious a lot, though I don't know if he knows that I notice these things about him. He's confident but at the exact same time anxious. He's an enigma. A little bit of a mystery. A puzzle I would like to solve.

When he told me it was a date I felt like I wanted to throw up. Not because I didn't want to go on a date with him but simply because I couldn't help but think his reason for having the "date" was to get in my pants.

I know he has a record of sleeping around. I know he hooked up with some guy at some stupid party and I know he cheated on his girlfriend, I also know he slept with someone just last night but the next day asked me on a date. Did these things make him a bad person? Hopefully not.

If he's truly a bad person than I must be an awful judge of character. But how could I possibly think he's bad after all the time I've spent with him?

Hell he took me along to visit his dead brother for gods sake. He talked about his hometown with so much hostility, yet his voice was still warm and filled with this sick love I couldn't quite comprehend.

So now I'm currently laying on my bed trying to decipher what exactly it means to have been on a date with Christian Turner. One of the most well-liked person in our school.

It's sort of funny how people treat Christian. They treat him like any other student but for some reason love him to death. The whole student body wants to know him. Yet they keep their distance. Christian think he's normal and not well-liked or anything. If only he knew how wrong he is. I'm not sure if the knowledge would cause him grief or simply flatter him.

I find it difficult to talk to Christian sometimes. I'd like to brag about how I know him really well but I don't think I can. I never know what certain things I say do to him. If I flirt would he reciprocate? Who knows. Sometimes he does and other times he doesn't.

The date. He didn't try to kiss me. Nor did he even touch me without me touching him first. He was the perfect gentlemen. Rivers gonna flip his butt when I tell him.

My eyes widened at my way of making my previous thought more PG. Christian had commented on my inability to curse. Was that a good thing? God I hope so.

Christian was for the most part the opposite of me. He drank alcohol and attended parties. I did neither of those things. But despite our differences everything about Christian felt so refreshing and overwhelmingly soft.

Anytime Christian was honest with me or opened up to me I felt incredibly lucky to be seeing a side of him I'd never seen before.

Something about Christian scares me though. I can't forget about the people in my past relationships and how they treated me.
