Riele's POV

"You guys what?!" Cree asked staring at me with wide eyes.

"Jace and I kissed" I said again looking down at my hands that were fidgeting in my lap.

"Wait, when did this even happen? Because last time we talked everything was fucked up between you two" She asked arching an eyebrow.

"I know but he came over to my house yesterday and he confessed that he is in love with me and that he broke up with Isa for me!" I exclaimed.

Cree pulled up to the parking lot of the mall and parked the car. She turned off the engine and turned in her seat to face me, "He broke up with Isabela for you?!" She asked smiling.

I nodded my head, "I know I couldn't believe it either like he really cares about me" I said.

"Does Isa know that he broke up with her for you?" She asked.

I shook my head, "No I haven't even talked to her in forever" I said.

"What about Caleb?" She asked me.

"He doesn't know anything, right before you picked me up he told me he loves me and I wanted to physically curl up and disappear from the world. I fucked up big time and I fucked up even more when I lied to him and told him I love him back" I said trying not to start crying again.

Cree reached over and rubbed my back, "Oh babygirl you gotta tell him" She said to me making me nod my head.

"I know I know, I'll tell him tomorrow. Let's just enjoy our shopping spree before my life turns to shit tomorrow because of what I did" I said stifling a laugh.

"Yes please, I wanna get this cute lingerie set from Victoria's Secret for Thomas" Cree smirked quickly getting out of the car and yelling at me to hurry up. I laughed and opened the car door before closing it behind me to catch up to her and enjoy our day.

Jace's POV

"Bro are you okay? You're acting so weird" Sean asked making me look up form the pool water. We were lounging at his house by the pool. Brent Faiyaz was blasting through the speakers and I was pretty relaxed other than the issue I have going on with Riele.

"What?" I asked.

He arched an eyebrow, "I asked are you okay" He said taking a sip of his beer.

"Yeah I'm fine, why?" I asked him.

"It's just that somethings off, did something happen with Isa?" He asked me making my whole body tense up. "You just tensed up, what the hell is going on dude?!" Sean exclaimed.

"Okay fine, but what I am about to tell you, you cannot speak about it okay?" I asked him.

Sean's expression was hard to read and he cocked his head to the side signaling for me to continue.

"I'm going to talk and then after I am done you can speak" I said to him.

"Jace you're making it seem like you killed someone and you're scaring me man" Sean said with worry in his eyes.

"I didn't kill someone you dumb ass" I said grinning. "I just...I broke up with Isa" I said to him.

His eyes widened and his mouth dropped, "You broke up with Isa? For what dude I thought you really loved her" He said making my heart ache thinking of the pain that I have caused Isabela.

"Me too but there is some else" I said to him.

"Who?" He asked me.

"Riele" I said making me gasp and accidentally fall into the pool. I laughed as he flailed his arms in the water and was gasping for air.
