Chap 48: Promises are broken

Chap 48: Promises are broken

I sneak out of my room with a red wig so when he looks for me he won't recognize me because some promises are broken, like meant to be. I go to the coffee shop and Andrew is there smiling.

"Hey Aspen."

"Hi."

"Sneaking out aren't you?"

I laugh,

"You know it, we should hang later?"

"Yeah I'll give you a text,"

I smile and walk out Graham's calling me.

"Where you are?"

"Coffee."

"We have a coffee machine."

"I go somewhere else it's better than regular bullshit I'm in France!"

"True. Come back."

"Yeah yeah bye."

I put on my wig and I told Andrew I'd be wearing it, I sip my coffee and browse around some shops. I find a bench and sit. I quietly close my eyes and decompress, no noise.

My wig has been off and someone starts shaking my shoulders, Graham.

"How do you always find me-"

"Coffee," he smirks

"F you," I laugh.

He holds my hand and it feels good he kisses my hand now and I smile. I drink my coffee and I can tell he's staring at me.

"What?" I ask questioning

"You're gorgeous Aspen."

I look off and I nod my head.

"I'm just like an other ordinary girl-"

"That's bullshit and you know it."

I nod and sip I stare into his eyes and he kisses me. I'm nervous because I feel as if we're aren't together.. He tastes of coffee as I'm guessing the same for me. I scoot closer to get warmth and I'm lying on him now. I stare at the bay and smile.

We walk back into the hotel and sit for lunch. I order salad and he does the same and we split pizza. I see breaking news on the television.

The commentator begins.

"According to the judge Reese Mathers her trial will begin Thursday for convicting a kidnap by the name of Aspen Jackson. This is the latest on Americas news."

Almost everyone instantly looks around and one person screams.

"It's her!"

Everyone stares and I eat my food. I put on my wig and they stare weirdly.

"I swear it was-"

"Me too!" someone chants.

I walk up to my room after and I'm alone. I am pissed, Andrew is gonna think I'm a psycho.

I call him and he sounds concerned.

"You're the girl that was kidnapped?"

"Mhm."

"Im coming to your hotel room."

"Okay."

He arrives and I open it. He hugs me instantly and brushes my hair from my face.

"Are you okay?"

"Always," I give a tight smile.

"When are you leaving."

"Possibly tonight."

"Then we're gonna have one hell of a night."

He opens champagne and I grab classes. Yeah I know I'm still underage but you live once.

"Got anything stronger?"

He grins and hands me Jack Daniels whiskey. I grin back and take out shot glasses.

"Cheers."

"Cheers Aspen."

We drink and it burns.

"Fuck."

I laugh. I take 4 more shots as I become more and more crazy. I wanna do something with Andrew before I leave.

"Wanna play truth or dare?" I ask.

"You know it babe."

"Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Kiss me."

He pushes me on the bed and he's so tempting his fingers tip toe to my collar bone and I try not to moan. He kisses me softly and smelling of Jack Daniel's

"Done."

I lick my lips.

"Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Take 3 more shots."

"Alrighty."

I do my first two easy and my last I gulp down with a burning passion. He begins to clap.

"Well done my friend," he laughs.

"I'm so drunk."

"I know."

"You can crash here," I say.

"You have a boyfriend."

"But you did kiss me."

"And I'm gonna do it again."

He grabs my face and we kiss he's a really good kissed, his lips cool against mine and we stop.

"Goodbye Aspen."

I watch him leave as I mysteriously go to Graham's room. I knock and he answers.

"What the fuck happened to you?"

"Whiskey," I cry.

He takes my hand and I fall on the bed and he craddles me like a baby.

"Why am I such a wreck lately?" I ask.

"You're not, you're just confused."

"About what?"

"I don't know everything."

I cling onto Graham as I wonder to myself.

Who the fuck have I become.
