Cole and I entered the mansion together and found his classmates partying inside."I swear I'm gonna fucking kill Griff," Cole said angrily."Calm down. You should have some fun." I said. "And don't worry about me so much," I said while smiling at him."I leave you alone for one minute and the sharks swoop in." He said softly."They can swoop in all they want but they're not you," I said softly."Okay, you have officially convinced me not to worry about you that much." He said slowly."And don't hit anyone. Try to talk it out or just walk away." I said in an educative voice."Yes, boss." He replied with a clean smirk on his face."Liv!" Jade called."Gotta go. And don't fuck with any other bitches." I said before walking away from him.Jade linked our arms together before leading us upstairs."Where are we going?" I asked her."This is your room." She said while pointing at a door. "Open it." I opened the door while looking at Jade in suspicion. When I entered it my mouth hung open.
I yawned tiredly while stretching out my limbs. I rolled over and onto my stomach and my hand hit something hard. My eyes shot open and I looked to my side and found a smiling Cole next to me."Good morning sunshine." He said before smirking.I buried my face in the sheets and laid dead still. I heard Cole chuckle so I hit his arm."Did we do anything?" I asked and Cole shook his head before looking at me in disbelief."I may be a dick, Liv. But I would never take advantage of a girl." He said before running a hand through his curls."Then I guess you brought me here last night," I said painfully. God, I'm so embarrassed I'm never partying this hard again."You're the best company when you're drunk," Cole said in a teasing tone so I glared at him before burying my face in the blankets once more. "So the sober me is boring?" I asked insecurely."Not at all. I'm just saying you have no filter when you're drunk." He said through his chuckles. "It's cute.""Why did I come on this trip?" I
At twelve o'clock we went downstairs to the lobby and found everyone else already there. "What's up! What's up!" Principal Clark also known as Big T asked while coming into the room. "Big T!" The kids yelled in one voice."Griff, would you do us the honors?" Uncle Tanner asked with a smile on his face and Griff stepped forward, causing everyone to yell and clap hands for him."We're going zip lining motherfuckers!" Griff yelled and everyone bursted out into cheers. "But first we have to go on a hike to get there. Once we're done doing all the shit in the mountains we get to go down to the waterfalls and chill the fuck out!" He said and everyone cheered him on. Why is everyone so excited about this? I go zip-lining and hiking almost every two weeks."Pack your bikinis girls!" Griff yelled and I rolled my eyes at him. "Cause we're about to fuck!" He yelled and Uncle Tanner just shook his head at him.I looked over at Cole standing across the room who was staring at the madness playing
Later the rest of the students came to the waterfalls. I was there alone because Cole had to unwillingly go back to his villa for a while. The music started and everyone jumped in the water. I was wearing my two-piece now. I got out of the water to grab myself a drink from the cooler bag that just arrived and heard a few whistles. I just shook my head and went to sit on a rock. I dipped my feet into the water and watched everyone else having the time of their lives. Cole soon arrived and sat next to me. I smiled broadly when I looked to my side. He was shirtless and his curly hair was a mess on his head. I stared at his beautiful brown eyes and pink lips.I moaned lightly. This is my paradise. Cole looked down at me and smiled in amusement. "Liv." He said in a warning tone and my cheeks turned red."But I begged you earlier," I whined and he chuckled before smiling at me. "And I had my reasons for saying no. You're special." He replied softly. And then I realized that with every w
I saw Cole sitting on a big rock in the middle of the woods so I walked towards him. I ran a hand through my hair before going to stand in front of him."Liv." He said in a husky voice."I'm mad at you," I replied pointedly and Cole frowned at me."For what? For protecting you?" He asked wildly."For not keeping your promise," I said in disbelief."I'm sorry baby." He said when he looked up at me. He pulled me towards him and placed his head against my waist. "I know," I said softly while rubbing my fingertips against his scalp."I won't do it again." He said softly."I know," I replied softly and allowed him to hold onto me. "I love you." He said against my belly and I couldn't help but smile."I love you more," I said softly."I want you to put whatever happened between you, Griff, Tyler, and Rook in the past," I said and he pulled away from me."I love you but no." He said cutely and I chuckled."Please put your pride aside, Cole," I said softly."They messed with you, Liv." He sa
My phone started ringing so I went out of the bathroom to pick it up. I held the phone against my ear and listened."I'm outside." Uncle Ian said through the phone and I let out a breath of relief."I'm on my way," I said before ending the call. I went outside and locked the door behind me. When I turned around I found Cole standing in front of me.He placed his hands on my shoulders holding me in place."Let go of me," I said angrily but instead he pulled me into a hug. He pulled back and placed his hands on my cheeks but I ripped them off my skin."Don't touch me again. Don't speak to me again." I said before pushing past him."Liv!" He said in anger."You have no right to be mad!" I yelled at him. "So don't," I warned him."I have every right to be upset. You refuse to listen to me. Your best friend threw herself at me." He said in frustration. "Stop being so gullible." He said."Fuck you!" I yelled before walking to his dad's car. He pulled me back by my arm and I pulled away from
My eyes fluttered open and I saw my mom hovering over me. I looked at her and frowned at the teary smile she was giving me."She's awake Ian call the nurse." My mom said while briefly looking away from me. "Where's Cole?" I asked before trying to sit upright. "Lay down honey." My mom said softly. "Cole isn't allowed in your room until the doctor says otherwise." She explained. "He's outside in the hall.""What? No. You need to keep him away from me." I said and my mom looked away from me. "Mom?" I called and she sighed."I'll see what I can do. It's Cole we're talking about honey, he's not going to leave and you know it." She said before pinching the bridge of her nose."What happened to me?" I asked curiously and my mom pursed her lips together in a thin line."You had a panic attack." My mom said softly. "You haven't had one since-""Ajay's death." I finished her sentence and she came down to place a kiss on my forehead."You didn't lose him too, Liv. He's still here." My mom said
Later that day I was discharged from the hospital. I made sure that uncle Ian made Cole go away because I knew I wouldn't be able to handle seeing him.When we got home the house was quiet. I went up to my room and took a hot shower before getting into my PJs.I went into my mom's room and laid down next to her. She put on a movie before covering me with the blanket.The rest of our weekend flew by and soon it was Wednesday. I pulled on my cheerleading outfit and tied my hair into a ponytail. I slipped into my white sneakers before applying my face cream.I went downstairs and ate a slice of toast before I heard honking outside."Bye, Mom," I said before placing a kiss on her cheek. "Bye Uncle Ian," I said before hugging him from behind and skipping outside.I feel happy today and free. Maybe it's because I haven't seen Cole yet."Morning sunshine." Griff greeted me while holding a milkshake out to me."Morning, thank you," I said before sliding onto the seat. Tyler and Rook were sitti
