Reborn

Chapter 17|Basketball

I raise my eyebrows at him, "what do you mean?"

"The way you two looked together, it's pretty obvious. I felt he was going to rip my head off because of you," Leo says with a laugh.

I can't help a small smile form on my face. "Him and I where a long time ago," I explain.

"Love can last for a life time, baby," he sings and I roll my eyes at him.

"I'm pretty sure the love has died," I tell him sadly.

He shakes his head, "say what you want, but that's not what I've seen."

After that we didn't speak for a minute. "Can I join?" I ask, catching him by surprise.

He smirks slightly, "go to bed Bianca."

A pout forms on my lips, "but I don't wanna," I whined. I noticed his eyes briefly brush through my lips. "We're cool, right? I don't want things to be awkward between me, you or Hazel."

He smiles, "we're cool. But you should talk to Hazel," he says.

I nod, "I will."

"You still want to play, shortie?" He teases while spinning the ball on his finger. I roll my eyes.

Show off.

"I'm 5'9, I'm really not short," I snap at him before I slapped the ball away from his finger. I'm not the best in basketball but at least I know the basics.

"Well I'm 6'4, so to me you're short," he says.

I roll my eyes and jog into the court. "Take it easy on me," I tell him sternly as I start dribbling the ball.

Leo and I played all night. I was honestly having so much fun I didn't even notice the sun come up, soon enough we were walking back into the house at six in the morning sweating like we were thrown into a pool.

When we walked in I noticed only Caleb and Shawn in the living room.

"Where were you guys?" Caleb asks.

"Basketball, why?" Leo replies as he makes his way out of the room.

"We're about to start training," Caleb says. I nod at him and find my way up the stairs.

I'm exhausted and training does not sound good for me right now. Why did I play for so long?

I lost three hours of sleep on that court!

Just as I'm about to go into my room I hear someone call my name. When I turn around I find Asher a few feet away from me.

Why is he still here?

I instantly roll my eyes and turn back to my door without thinking.

"Just hear me out," he asks.

I don't reply and open the door but stops me from going inside of my room.

"You can't seriously be blaming me for all this," he says suddenly. "I just wanted to help you do the right thing-"

"Shut up," I interrupt sharply. "Shut. The. Fuck. Up."

"I'm not-"

"There were literally so many ways you could have 'helped' me do the right thing and you choose the absolute worst?!" I snap. "Asher I never asked for your help! This wasn't any of your business."

"Yes it was!" He exclaims.

My eyes widen sarcastically, "oh really? Please enlighten me! How are my feelings for someone else any of your fucking business?"

"Because it bothers me! Okay? I just... I don't like you with him!" He replies, a deeper frown forming on his face.

"It bothers you? Who do you think you are? My boyfriend?" I ask him with an angry laugh. Who does he think he is to interfere with my life or feelings for someone else.

And he can't even apologize?! So he's going to blame me for what happened last night.

His frown visibly faltered at my words, "of - of course n-not, I-"

"Well it's a good thing you know, because you lost that title a long fucking time ago!" I snap at him, my rage growing.

"Don't say that-"

"Don't say what Asher? That you lost the fucking tittle when I found out your lying ass killed my mother!?" I yell.

Immediately when those words left my lips I felt like punching myself in the face. What the hell did I just say?

I could see the hurt in Asher's expression, it was obvious he didn't try to hide it because I know he is capable. I felt my heart clench at his expression and tears brimmed my eyes.

What the fuck did I just say?

His lips formed into a thin line as he visibly swallowed, "you're right. I-i'm sorry I messed everything up."

My mouth fell open, I was in shock because I couldn't even believe I'd say that to him. I don't mean it.

"A-Asher I didn't mean it," I tell him softly. He starts walking away but I try to catch up with him. "Asher you know I didn't mean that, right?"

He lets out a strained laugh and it broke my heart, "yeah, I know. But it still hurts, Bianca."

"I'm so sorry-"

"Just leave it-"

"Ash-"

"Leave me alone!" He yells. I take a step back from the shock and keep my mouth shut. Without wasting another second he storms away.

I try to blink back the tears but fail miserably and take in a deep breath. I'm so stupid.

I turned back towards my room and find Hazel's eyes on me. She's glaring at me but also looks somewhat sympathetic.

"We need to talk," she says sternly before grabbing my wrist and pulling me into my room.
