Chapter 3

Sidney's POV-

I stood in the kitchen when Devon came down. She looked like she barely got any sleep last night. She had on a cute pair of black shorts and a white see-through t-shirt that hung off of one shoulder with her bikini halter top peaking through.

“Girl, you look like you could use some makeup. Your eyes are so puffy!” I tell her as Shane came down shortly after and joined us.

“Not everyone can look perfect.” Shane throws my way. I rolled my eyes so Devon could see me and she chuckled as I turned to give my brother a nasty smirk.

“Dork, I wasn't talking to you.” I say. “By the way, you might want to scamper off around lunch time. Tony's popping by with Jarred.” He gave me a look of annoyance.

“Well, you ladies can go ahead and do your own thing by the pool; I'm staying put regardless.” He tells me as he steals the piece of toast from my hand and takes off with it.

“Hey!” I shout after him.

“Leave him alone.” Devon tells me. I give her a look and then pop another slice of bread in the toaster for myself.

Devon's POV-

We were by the pool when the boys showed up. Jarred sat beside me and gave me a smile while I watched Tony and Sidney wrestling with each other until Tony grabbed hold of her and threw them over the edge, into the pool. Jarred apparently thought that this was his cue to try and get me in the pool too.

“Come on!” He tried again after I pushed his hands off of me explaining that I didn’t want to go for a swim and if I changed my mind, I was more than capable to jump in myself. I didn’t want to get wet seeing as I was terrified that my bruises would end up showing through my already see-through shirt. “You're such a killjoy!” He tells me and then grabs me around the waist and pulls me up, over his shoulder, like a sac of potatoes and jumps into the pool. He let go of me while we were under. When I surfaced, he was already on me.

“You're so hot.” He tells me with a smouldering look in his eye.

“No.” I told him but he kept advancing on me. My stomach was churning. I thought I was about to puke my guts right then and there. Something wasn’t sitting right with me and I was feeling panic work its way down to my core. The minute I felt his hands on my hips, pulling my body towards him, instinct kicked in and I kneed him in the stomach and pushed him away with both my feet as I held on to the edge of the pool.

“You fucking bastard! What do you not understand about the word no?” I yelled at him. A look of bewilderment flash across his face. I knew he wasn't happy. I turned and jumped out of the pool.

“I'll be inside, if anyone needs me.” I yell out to Sidney and Tony who were now in the hot tub no longer making out. I stormed off into the house.

Shane's POV-

I watched as Devon stormed off after pushing that Jarred ape off of her. I was proud of her for standing up for herself but I also found myself struggling with the urge to go out there and drown the son of a bitch. The door opened and she stopped dead in her tracks after she shut the sliding glass door behind her. She let out a growl of frustration and anger.

“Easy Cujo.” I joked. Her head snapped up in shock and I registered her blush of embarrassment.

“Oh.” She paused and then gave me a quick smile. “I forgot you were here.” And she tried to make her way past me. I grabbed her arm to stop her. She looked at me. “I'm alright.” She said.
