Tangled Love

Three years ago.Jace's POV.Life is unpredictable.Typical, right?Maybe but not always, not with me at least.Every single one of us have dreams, my dream was to play football in a stadium full of football fans screaming my name everytime I do a touchdown.Football was my only dream but that dream just got killed by an injury, I had this injury last year and I didn't take it seriously. I continued playing without seeking medical help and when I did seek medical help, it was too late.The doctor said I might get a fucked up little limp for the rest of my life if I continue playing so I guess what I'm trying to say is that tonight's my last night on the field and my last night being team captain.That lasted like sixty seconds.No one knows that information but I intend on telling them after we win.And on top of all that shit, I walked in on my girlfriend being fucked by one of my teammates last night.Also typical.My girlfriend- scratch that, ex-girlfriend Sandra was controlling an

Present Day.Olivia's POV.I get easily bored when I don't have classes in the morning so instead of sitting around in my apartment and watching Netflix, I go for morning runs.I always stop by Christy's on my way back home, I'm so obsessed with their iced coffee.Which is why everytime I walk through these heavy glass doors to the Café, which might I add is very close to my apartment and to campus, I'm always greeted by the lovely aroma of rich coffee beans which fills my nostrils and the welcoming sound of customers around the Café chitchatting, even though Christy's is both a Café and restaurant, many people come in for the coffee, especially students, we all just need coffee.My eyes scan the whole place and I feel like everyone's now staring at me.I'm wearing leggings and a sports bra, I don't know what the big fuss is about but if it's about my bleached hair then jokes on them cause it's fake."Jack." I reach the counter, smiling at the employee who I only know from my ethics c

Three years ago.Jace's POV.Turns out, getting suspended is worse than getting arrested. I always get bailed out the next day after getting arrested but this suspension gets me stuck at home, with my mum who doesn't want me to lock myself in my room and smoke weed all day, she wants me to help her out at the Pizza restaurant and smile while I'm at it.I spend the whole day glancing at the clock, waiting for the time everyone gets off school.I don't know why I'm nervous and anxious at the same time, it's not like I'm going on a date with her.But then again she said that her parents are away and that painting someone takes hours. That means we'll be alone in her house for hours.I've had three encounters with this girl, and I've wanted to kiss her twice during those encounters.The clock hits five and I sneak out the back without notifying my mother, she objects to everything.I hop on my bike, turning on the engine and taking off.I'm used to facing the consequences of my actions,

Present Day.Olivia's POV.There are some days I wake up feeling depressed, I don't wanna get out of bed early, I don't wanna talk to anyone and I definitely don't wanna answer my phone or get the door.My Mum told me that we all go through that at some point, that it's the circle of life.We're happy today, we're sad tomorrow.I hate this feeling, it makes me think about myself way too much, it crowds my mind with curious thoughts and then it goes, like for instance, today, I woke up thinking that maybe, just maybe, Olivia Conner one flipped the car on purpose, maybe it was a suicide mission.I don't know how I would feel about that one, I don't even know why I've been thinking about that accident a lot lately.Anyway, moving along, my new roommate Izzy from Britain moved in a week ago and lucky for me, she's not a bitch, we actually have so much in common, it's almost like we've known each other our entire lives.I spend the day in my painting room, painting my thoughts away while l

Three years ago.Jace's POV.Diego and Blair insist we go somewhere more fun but I'm not in the mood and Cassandra's mum keeps ringing her phone so we both end up declining. They both go ahead without us, taking Diego's car. Cassandra offers me a ride back to Olivia's house, where I left my bike.She's headed in that direction anyway since the Richardson mansion is right after Diego's neighborhood. I've never crossed the Richardson's gates but Diego and I used to ride our bikes right passed the estate when we were younger and every time, we'd stop to stare at the mansion, it just made me feel like my parents were doing something wrong with their lives.Weirdly, I feel like that right now.Cassandra Richardson looks like money, hell, she even smells like money. Her hair is golden silk, she's wearing diamond stud earrings, I know her matching outfit was designed by some expensive designer and she's wearing sneakers but even they look fucking expensive.Why did I ever think that I'd ge
