*Zander's POV*

As I make my way to practice I couldn't help but hear a sudden voice from afar.

"Jake stop we can't do this anymore. Look it's either you break up with him or it's over. I can't do this to him anymore, I really like you but I can't." a women's voice says.

Jake? I shake my head in disbelief. It can't be my boyfriend right? Surely not. The voice sounded too familiar to not be curious.

I move closer to the voice and stumble into the door of the janitor's closet? What the? I put my ear against the door to try to listen in.

"Come on Hailey, we both know I can't do that it would crush him." Jake says.

"No I just can't do this anymore, I feel horrible." she says.

Hailey? My very own sister and my boyfriend? No- this can't be happening. I put my hand on the handle and opened the door.

"Jake?" I say as I see them. My mind was foggy. How could Jake do this to me? Suddenly anger overwhelms me.

"What the actual hell Jake! You and my step sister? And I can't believe you Hailey, we're supposed to be family!!" I yell loudly even the people in the hallway could hear me but I didn't care.

Silence slowly fills the room. "How long?"

"3 Months" Jake mutters.

"You piece of shit..."

"Zander I can explain-" Jakes says. I run off before he could. Tears filling my eyes, my vision blurry. Soon tears are rolling down my cheeks as I hear both Jake and Hailey yell my name. I ran to the bathroom a crying mess everyone stared at me but I didn't care. I quickly went into a stall and cried for what seemed forever.

I get a notification. I pick up my phone to see who it is.

——————————————
2 Missed Calls From "Luke 🧡"
6 Texts From "Luke 🧡"

"Oh shit-" I mutter to myself. Trying to wipe my tears. But they kept coming down. How did I not hear the calls and messages before?

Minutes later I hear a voice.

"Zander? Are you in here?"

Soon the stall door opens.

"You never learn how to knock do you Luke?" I let out a small chuckle

"I guess I don't" he says with a small smile as he sits down next to me on the bathroom floor.

HELLO ITS ME EL (AGAIN) sorry this chapter was shorter than i wanted it to be I want to make shorter chapters and publish them faster. And honestly with my schedule with school it works perfectly for me. I will try to publish another chapter later this week possibly Friday. And I will try to make a longer chapter when i can. Writing is so fun and making them longer can be a hassle. Also THANK YOU FOR 20 READS i know it's not much but it means the world to me this is my very first book and i didn't think anyone would read it so it kinda shocked me. ALSO WERE #9 IN MUSIC FREAKS SHNDNDN. OMG IM SO GRATEFUL. Again this is my first book so it won't be the best but i still hope you like the story as it unfolds.
