Never That Far **Finished** Prologue

Im Sorry

no."

"What do you mean no?" He whined, but I wasn't backing down. I've made up my mind and I was sticking with Garrett. Why on earth couldn't he get his head around it.

"Axel i'm not in the mood to explain this." I sighed. "I'm not going out with you tonight and you're not coming in here. Now please just leave me alone."
