Bad boys, bridges, and troubled love.

Chapter 6

Of all the apartments in this God forsaken city, he lived next to mine.

I made it in the door just before he saw me.

Shit.

Alex hadn't noticed him so I didn't have to answer any of his questions.

"Hey how was school?" My mother seemed very eager to hear about our day. I told her about my teachers and classes and about the girls I've met, but not about him. My mum would be horrified.

After grabbing some food, I went up to my room and collapsed on my bed. Tyler lives right there. What have I done to deserve this. It can't be that bad. He doesn't know.

But he will.

The thought makes me shudder. It will take him a while before he finds out.

I got off my bed and sat down at my desk to start some homework. I looked at the beautiful skyline to my right. I faced forward and I almost passed out from what I saw.

Tyler staring at me threw his window.

He seemed as stunned as I was.

Even better, the little perv can watch my every move. He realized that this was something of an advantage to him, and a smirk kissed his lips. I scowled at him and went down stairs.

I need a drink.

"Alex, basement, now."

He followed suit and when we got down there, I went straight to the bar.

"Ok you're getting a bit too crazy. What's up with you?"

"Are mum and dad going to work?"

"Ya they are leaving in 15 minutes why?"

"Good. Drink this." I handed him a vodka shot.

"Slow down, two of these and you'll be gone." I can hear the concern in his voice.

"Just do it whimp."

"Ana please tell me what's wrong." I don't want to start drama right now. I have enough of it as it is, and I don't need an angry twin with it.

"I'm fine Alex. Drink this so I don't have to be drunk alone." he still looked worried, but did the shot.

"Now let's get some music going." Our new apartment had a sound system throughout it so music plays everywhere.

We danced like complete idiots for an hour. More alcohol helped with the dancing.

"I'll be right back I'm gonna change into my sweats." I almost tripped on the stairs. Jeeze, drunk Ana is messy Ana.

I danced into my room and over to my dresser. I found my sweats, and started to take off my skirt.

I decided that dancing in my underwear was a good idea for some reason. Burnin up by Jessie J was on, so I was into it. I spun around having some fun, and when I opened my eyes, there Tyler was.

I was horrified. This boy met me once and is seeing me dance in my panties.

I grabbed my pants and ran.

I really need to put up my curtains.

Alex turned the music off. Why?

"Alex what are you doing! Come on turn it back on!"

"Ana, sit down." His words were firm but gentle.

"Listen Ana, I don't know what's going on with you, but I don't like it. You're heading down a path and it doesn't look good for you. You're drinking all the time. You can't just get drunk if you don't feel good."

He's getting all big brother on me.

"I'm fine. I'm just adjusting. I'll be ok I promise."

He looked at me like I was a hurt little kid. Why is he so worried?

"Ok well sober up. Go do some homework."

"Ok ok."

I got on the train the next morning and didn't see Tyler. Thank God.

My first few classes went well and I went down to lunch where I met up with Monica and our friends.

"So who's this Tyler kid?" They all looked at me like I was insane.

"Tyler Vern? He's only the most popular kid at this school."

"And he's the quarter back of the football team." ah the jock.

"He's friends with Matt. He is a huge player and never hears the word no."
Matt is Monica's boyfriend.

"So has he been with a lot of girls?"

"Pretty much half the school."

"I know guys like that. I dated one in England."

"Dish!"

"What?" Why did they say dish?

"It means tell us." ah ok.

"So this boy Cam and I dated. He was the school player. He had been with a lot of girls and when he wanted to have sex, I wanted to wait. I wanted to really know the person I was loosing my virginity to. He dumped me."

"Aw Ana! I'm so sorry."Jackie put her arm around me.

"I got over him. I don't need someone like that in my life."

"Very optimistic. I like that."

"I'm glad I don't have to deal with with him on Friday night."

"Has he bothered you?"

"Yea he kinda, well he... he kissed me in the staircase."

"Was it the one by the science classes?"

"Ya how did you know?"

"Let's just say Jackie knows that staircase well." They all looked at Jackie and giggled.

"You and Tyler?"

"Yea last year. I thought he was nice and he's an ass."

"Don't worry, he'll get over you."

"Oh I forgot my lunch in my locker! I'll be right back."

I ran up to my locker and when I got up there, I saw Tyler.

"Are you following me?"

"No. But I like your little black panties. You should wear them more often."

"You're so gross." I closed my locker and he leaned up against it.

"You know you liked me watching you. Come on admit it. You danced like you knew I was watching." he has this creepy smirk on his face.

"No I was drunk and I didn't see you."

"Oh British gets drunk? Didn't expect that."

"Stop calling me British. I have a name."

"Fine. See you later Anastasia." he walked away and slapped my ass again.

"Stop doing that!" This boy knows how to get under my skin.

I went back to lunch and ate my food.

I had to go home alone today since Alex was getting food with some friends.

I put my headphones in and went on my way. It was pretty nice, just me and my music.

I was way to consumed in my music to notice Tyler leaning against my front door.
