Chapter Twenty-OneWhat Happened Last Night?≋I woke up when I was being shaken. My eyes slowly fluttered open, confused for a moment when I saw Noah standing in front of me.Noah was shirtless and in his black jeans from the previous night. His eyes squinted, a look of confusion and discomfort on his face as he probably had a brutal headache. "Tiffany? What are you doing here? And on the couch? What happened last night?"I sat up, the blanket falling in my lap. Noah sat down on the recliner in his room across from the one I was sitting on. After he had passed out I got out of his bed and took the recliner because I knew I wouldn't be sleeping much since I didn't have my pills."You came back wasted out of your mind." I told him although he already knew that part. "You didn't let me leave... asked me to stay the night?" My statement came out as a question, looking at him in inquiry as I wondered whether he remember a thing or not.Noah shook his head, answering my question. He ran a

Chapter Twenty-TwoWe're A Boy Band Now≋"Princess!""What the hell?" I was very lost when I was standing in my kitchen eating yogurt when a pair of arms wrapped around me, hugging me tightly as Luke's cheery voice rang through my ears."Luke," I exhaled, turning around to look at him smiling brightly. "Should I even ask what you're doing here?""Hey now, don't look more excited to see me," he mumbled sarcastically, grinning. "And no, you should be used to me being around. You weren't at school today...neither was Noah but he was hungover so where were you?"Leo, Charlie, Kai and Ezra walked into the kitchen."Hey, Tiff," Leo smiled. "Where were you today?""I woke up late and didn't feel like coming for half the day," I shrugged lightly. Ezra came over to me, looking at me with suspicious, narrowed eyes."What?"He shrugged, "Nothing. You look tired.""That's because I didn't sleep," I grumbled, picking my yogurt from the counter as I continued eating it."Is everything okay?" Ezra

Chapter Twenty-ThreeBad Luck Eventually Catches Up≋Friday night was more eventful than any of us would like to admit.Guess what?I was dragged to another party. It was bizarre to me when I thought about the fact that I was at a party considering that was the last place I would wish to be. I could be spending my time doing anything else but when we went out to get food and catch a movie, the plan changed when Leo got a text from someone about a party and the whole group decided they wanted to go. I couldn't bail because we were in the car and I didn't want to be the odd one who made them drop me home before going to the party so I kept my mouth shut.My plan was to get to the party, wait until everyone scattered off to do their own things and then I would call an Uber to get home. Pretty easy, right?We got to the party and I went off to the side, getting lost in the crowd so nobody would cling to my side. I had a feeling Luke or Noah would decide to hang out with me because they bo

Chapter Twenty-FourHellish≋"I hope that son of a bitch doesn't live to see another day. God, I wish I fucked him up some more, Christ sake I've never been this fucking angry.""Ezra," Jade's soft voice spoke in a calm manner. "Please, calm down. You're fuming and it's perfectly understandable but you put the kid in a hospital already. He could press charges.""Like hell, he'll press charges!" Ezra's voice was loud and angry as he snapped at Jade. "I already called the cops and reported what he fucking did and if they don't press charges I swear to God I will fuck him up much worse than we already did.""Ez, man," Charlie spoke softly, calmly. "Look, you roughed him up and we already reported him but there's nothing more we can do. Jade is right. The last thing we need right now is you being arrested."Ezra grunted in response but didn't say anything.It took me another five minutes after that until I was fully conscious and able to open my eyes. My eyes fluttered open and I blinked

Chapter Twenty-FiveOur Spot≋The next two days I stayed in my room avoiding everyone because I knew they were downstairs hoping I would come down.Charlie and Ezra had come to my room multiple times to see if I needed anything but I knew they were just trying to find an excuse to talk to me.I just... I felt so weird. My head was spinning; every time I would try to get my shit together and thoughts in order, I just couldn't stop flashbacks and things I did not want to think about from flooding my head.I felt disgusting in my own skin. I was mad and sad and so many things all at once.I just didn't want to talk to anyone because the pity and sorry and worried looks in all of their eyes made me want to squirm.They really thought this was the worst I have been through?Ha. That's funny.I just wanted to put up my rough exterior and forget about feelings all at once. If hadn't let my guard down and let myself feel pathetic and bad for ruining their plans by saying no I didn't want to

Chapter Twenty-SixLike Foxes≋"I hate to bring it up," Charlie spoke up, a sheepish look on his face. We were all sitting in the cafeteria as it was lunch. "But with the game being this Friday, there is no way the Herbrooke guys are going to come in here all civil. They're going to want bloodshed and tears - as intense as that sounds.""What are you saying?" Luke asked, his eyebrows pulled together in confusion.I guess it was safe to say that the Herbrooke guys would be mad - more mad than usual. Because we reported Taylor, they lost one of their players. Because of the rivalry, they were going to make this even more personal and come looking for a rough fight."They're going to want to start as much drama as they can." Charlie explained. "Being realistic, they're going to be looking for a fight. Even if Taylor dug his own grave, which he did, those guys aren't going to play easy.""I'm confused," Jade mumbled."They would play rough either way," Noah stated. "But even if they step

Chapter Twenty-EightDid We Win The Game?≋I woke up in a familiar room.Right when I came into my senses I groaned, shutting my eyes again, tightly. I sucked in a deep breath as pain shot through my whole body. My whole upper body felt sore and weak and almost lifeless."Tiffany," Noah exhaled, coming over to his bed that I was laying on.I squinted my eyes open as I looked at him. His hair was a disheveled mess, concern all over his face. "Hey, Ace." The words came out in a weak croak. I grinned at Noah who couldn't look more like a worried, sobbing mess even though he wasn't sobbing.I wondered why the hell I was at Noah's house as I tried to sit up but failed when the pain shot through my all my limbs again."Woah, take it easy." He said softly but in panic at the same time. "Let me help." Noah put one of my arms around his shoulders as he gently lifted me up so I was in a sitting position. He put a pillow behind my back before taking a seat on the edge of the bed beside me.I sm
