FLASHBACK
"You're the best boyfriend ever," I say wrapping my arms around his torso.
He smirks, "thank you, sweetcheeks. Your one heck of a girlfriend." He replies taking a curl in between his fingers. I smile as I snuggle him. Keegan was the guy I could see myself with, a guy I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
He shuffles as he grabs the remote shutting it off. "Raevyn." He says while sitting up.
I get up and wait for him to finish his sentence. "How would you reply if I asked you your hand in marriage?"

What Do You Mean? A Cliché Love Story Chapter 23
Words are so hard to find. Its funny, humans learn a huge range of words in their vocabulary and yet when those life-changing moments occur they're speechless. I sat on my bed waiting for the words to tumble out my mouth waiting for the primary use of communication to knock on my brain and let me explain myself. But i just couldn't, mainly because I didn't want to. To stay silent was to allow time to pass and my memories to marinate in by unconscious mind.
I didn't want to forget any of the details of yesterday. His tall figure towering over me as his plump lips entwined with mine. It was all just perfect, the perfect date, the perfect guy. And yet as I lay in my bed the fantasy turned into a scary reality.
We kissed! His lips we're planted on mines and I never stopped him. I never pushed him away. I should have but God only knows that I wanted it. Maybe I've always wanted him. Ever since he came over my house on my first day and slyly kissed me on my cheek, I wanted him then.
Atlas, I was probaly just another name on his list he could scratch off. Another girl he could brag that he'd been with, but as I replayed his laugh and smile I knew that my heart ached with possibilities. So many questions of where this could lead, to how far it could go.
My thoughts are interrupted by my alarm and I get up to cut it off. I exit my clock app and click on Google Duo to video chat Noah. Since his departure we've stayed in contact, video chatting, calling and texting. He was the fourth person to know about my date with Levi, after my grandmother, Stony, and Cameron. I hurriedly texted to notify him and get his input. He was nothing but supportive and told me that he was happy that Levi finally asked.
The screen reflects my image until his face pops up on the screen.
"Hey babe." His voice rang through my electronic speaker and I couldn't help but smile.
"Noah! How are you?" I ask, cheesing like there was no tomorrow.
His golden chestnut hair laid flat on his forehead as his brilliant smile warmed me from the inside out.
"Screw that, how was your date?" He asks with a curious face.
I roll my eyes, "how rude! I am fine thanks for asking." I glance at my door making sure no noisy people were around.
He rolled his eyes at my response. "How was it? Was he awkward? He isnt good with his feelings."
''I'm not good with the sentimental sh*t,"
I laugh, from his nervous chuckles to his careful stares, Levi's opposition to reveal his emotions oozed from his body. I bite my lip in thought, "well..."
His eyebrows raise, "Rae, dont tell me you hurt my bro."
"What, no! No!" I laugh, "no the date was fine." I reply.
His face is quizzical as he stares at me through the screen. His hazel eyes glitter from the sun that hung behind him."Then what is it?"
"Nothing he took me out to this restaurant and then to festival and farm. It was different but sweet." I voice after some thought.
He raised a brow, "what aren't you telling me?" His face was so adorable it took a lot of willpower for me not to spill my guts.
"Rae, c'mon."
I sigh as my heart races and my breathing quickened. Before I could stop myself the words tumble out of my mouth. "He kissed me."
Noah's face showed many expressions from hurt, to happiness finally stopping at bewilderment. His mouth was hung wide open, "wow Levi kissed you on the first date?"
I nodded as my phone vibrated, notifying me that Stony was texting me. I glance at my tablet screen. "Hey Noah, I'll text you later ok?"
He shakes his head, "your just gonna leave me like that? What happened next?!" He asks.
I smirk as I wave goodbye to him. "I'll call you later!"
He pouts,"ugh fine, I'll talk to you later Rae. Love you."
"Love you too."
I end the call and look at my text.
Stony💙: Yo, did you hear about this sh*t?
Me: What happened?
Stony💙: Levi and Alanna! They're apparently hooking up. Look on his page.
I exit my messaging app and look at his account which featured photos of him and Alanna. In some pictures he was cuddled up next to her in others they were being silly. I'm numb, I click on her account as I stare in shock at the last photo posted two hours ago.
#boyfriend
"The difference is I shared my past with you, which I don't do with anyone. And I'm hanging out with a girl I like."
I only see red as I grab my jacket and walk down my stairs and out the door. My breath turns into clouds as my face is it with the wind.
"but you mean a lot to me Raevyn. My mom taught me that if something or someone good comes into your life don't let them go. And your someone good, your extraordinary and I don't wanna let you go."
I scoff as his words play in my head. He was just like every other guy, he was just like Keegan.
He wanna play games, but last time I checked I wasn't a toy.
-------------
In a empty warehouse.....
"You idiot! I gave you one job, and one job only, I expect it to be done." The shadowy figure says to the man.
"You expect me to kill someone?! I'm not like you, just because we're blood doesn't mean I'm capable of doing what you do!" He yells.
The man standing next to the shadow slams the other into the wall. The man with the scar gets up and punches the other guy, a minion. They struggle and fight on the floor until one of them pulls out a gun. The man holds up his hands, before charging at him. The man with the scar shoots the gun and the man falls.
"Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t." The man with the scar shrieks. The bystanders run to the fallen man, checking his pulse. They turn to the person who sat off to the side. The man with the scar breathes heavily while running his bloody hands through his hair.
"I didn't mean to-"
He sighs his eyes wide, "I'm dead if we don't get this cleaned up, they'll find me and kill me."
The person shrugs, "I hope you left me good sh*t in your will."
