50 parts Complete MatureA spin-off to Lemonade After Midnight by @Faisal_Writes
Look, I didn't mean to turn my college life into a crime scene of almosts and bad decisions.
I was supposed to be the quiet girl with ink on her fingers, writing poems about other people's heartbreak. Not the one hiding a boy in her bathroom while her boyfriend asks if I love him. Not the girl who falls in love with her best friend's moody, mystery-eyed "emotionally unavailable" boyfriend and then writes poetries on why he's a terrible idea... and still wants him anyway just because he calls me Red.
My name's Misty. I say yes when I should say no, apologize for things I haven't done yet, and apparently collect complicated men like guilty verdicts. Ashton is my golden boyfriend, theatre kid, the one who calls me "his" in front of everybody to whom I don't have the guts to say no to. And Fabian is an artist, soccer star, the one who writes poems about me without ever saying my name, and is... My best friend, Tara's boyfriend.
It's not a love triangle. Perhaps a parallelogram. Or maybe it's a knot.
Champagne toasts in the afternoon, confessions at midnight, stolen moments, the other side of the doors. If love is a test, I'm turning in three blank pages with my name scribbled on all of them.
But honestly, what's the worst that could happen when you're writing poetry about a boy you should hate, saying "yes" to a boy who loves you too much, and watching the girl who trusts you the most hang stars on his wall?
Oh. Right.
...
