-let's crash it-

Lili's PoV

"Ryder-this isn't right. We...we can't do this to Kyle. I can't do this to him." I sigh and got back on my two feet.

"He doesn't have to know." He says with his arms still around my waist.

"I'm sorry, Ryder. It's just wrong." I say and put my hands in his chest.

"Liliana, I'm sure he'd understand." He says.

"What is this? What do we have going on? Sure we made out a couple of times, but are you sure you want this? You and I both are players. This," I motion to the both of us. "is impossible."

"Fine. Whatever, then."

He let's me go and walks out the room frustratedly.

My heart is still racing and I slowly hear it crack.

Why was I feeling like this?

He's just another guy. Right?

Why does it hurt so much?

I take a deep breath and let it out.

It's okay, Ava. You're okay.

I sat back on the bed and pretend like nothing happened.

I'll be fine. Everything will be fine.

"Happy birthday Caleb Cakesy!" I giggle at how cheesy that sounded.

He kisses my cheek. "Thanks, Silly Lili."

"Open my gift!" I say excitedly.

"It's so small." He pouts.

"Well it's bigger than your di-I'm kidding." I laugh. "Just open it."

He opens the little box and a huge smile spreads across his face.

"It's...the best present I've ever gotten..." He says.

It was a ring with our initials carved into it with a heart;

C + L

He hugs me and I hug him back.

Little did we know, hapiness was only temporary.

I was in my room, studying on my bed.

Yes, I, Liliana Ava De Ville, is actually studying.

Believe it or not, studying gets my mind off things so when I can't handle everything, I study. It's as easy as that.

My door slams open and I jump with my heart racing.

I look at the doorframe to find Sam looking at me like I have the words 'I'm pregnant' on my forehead.

"Hey, Sam. What's up?" I say.

"Are you...studying?" She says with disgust.

I fake a laugh. "Well, you don't see me pole dancing in my room, do ya?"
