Lance

===========================================================================

Lacey's POV

After Greg met Kate at the ice cream parlor last week they have been inseparable. They're so cute! Tonight he's having a party. But he lives near Varsity so I wouldn't be surprised if rich skanks and manwhores showed up.

Me and Jase get to Greg's party and walk inside. I see him look over at his football friends who are doing Jell-O shots and playing beer pong.

"Hey J you can leave and go hang with your friends." He looks over at me.

"Really?"

I nod, he kisses my forehead then walks over to his friends. After a few minutes of dancing with random strangers I walk to the kitchen where no one is and grab a bottle of water. Then I feel someone's arms on my waist. I turn to see Nate. Lance's cousin and best friend. He has dirty blonde hair and brown eyes.

"Hello there Lacey." He slurs in a husky voice. It would be hot if I were attracted to him. But I'm not.

"Hi Nate." I greet back dryly not in the mood to talk.

"Wanna go have some fun?"

"No."

"Aww come on babe." He pushes me against the counter and starts to kiss down my neck. I get disgusted and push him away from me.

"No thanks. Fuck off Nate."

"Lacey stop being such a prude. I know you fucked both Lance and Jase what's wrong with me?" Nate pries my hands away from his chest and puts them against the counter as he moves in to kiss me again.

He smashes his lips onto mine and tries to pry his tongue into my mouth. Squealing I try to pull my arms out of his grasp but he holds on tighter. I groan painfully as he squeezes my wrists and grinds his pelvis into mine.

Please someone come help me.

Anyone.

He pulls his lips from mine and holds both my wrists in one hand behind my back. With his free hand he grabs the zipper of my shorts.

"Take your hands off my girlfriend, Nate. Or I'll do something both of us will regret. " I turn to the side and look into those alluring grey eyes.

"Whatever you say cousin." Nate pushes me away into the counter then walks out of the kitchen leaving me and HIM together.

"Thank you," I say while wiping my lips and fixing my clothes back.

Looking at the ground, I try not to have eye contact with him. Trying not to bring back any memories. Trying not to be putty in his hands.

"No problem. Can you please look at me?" He asks in that low, calming voice that I remember. I look up and see my ex staring right back at me even more intensely than the other day with Jase. I tilt my head to the side and raises an eyebrow. Maybe if I act like a bitch to him he'll finally leave.

"Why are you here?" I ask right to the point.

"Oh well uhh I don't know how to uhh tell you this-" he nervously scratches the back of his neck, averting his eyes from my gaze.

"Just get to the point please!" I groan from annoyance.

"Well you're looking at one of Alpyne Highs new students."

"What? Wait what!? You're going to my scho-school now!?" I yell as I look up at the ceiling. "God? why do you hate me?"

I need to go... I need to get out of here before those unwanted feelings come up. I worked so hard to keep them closed up behind a wall but slowly that wall is breaking down with every little thing that reminds me about the past.

"Lace chill I'm not gonna-"

"Lace? Lace?! Don't! Call me lace. Only my friends can call me lace! You lost the right to call me Lace 2 years ago. " I start to walk off when he stops me by grabbing my arm.

"Lacey. I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry! If I could take it back I would. But I can't and if I could go back that would've never happened and I think we would have still been together or maybe even friends. "

"Well I'm not the one who made that horrible mistake and ruined everything!" I start to cry so Lance hugs me and slowly I start hug him back. I breathe in his familiar scent while squeezing him in a warm memory retrieving hug.

"I know you hate me and if you want I will avoid you for the rest of senior year." He suggests while patting my back and he kissed my forehead. "I miss you. You meant everything to me... you have no idea. And I lost the best thing that anyone could want because I was an idiot and believed that bitch."

"I miss you too... I still love you, but I don't want to. You really hurt me."

God damn my walls are now demolished...

"I know baby. I was a complete idiot and believe me everyday I wish I could take back what I did. But I can't. But right now I will do anything to get you back. However its up to you really I just want you to talk to me again but I also want you to be happy."

It felt like forever and I still hadn't answered him. I really do miss him and, though I tried not to, I still love him. Now that he's back I don't think I would have an easy time trying to ignore him. Plus any girl that tries to flirt with him would meet my fist. So I tell him my answer.

"Alright I forgive you, but I still hate the bitch." He laughs and I look up at him. He leans forward and rests his forehead on mine then takes his hand and wipes the tears from my eyes.

"I am soo sorry I hurt you beautiful." He looks me straight in the eyes and kisses me, which only lasts for a few seconds. "That's especially something I missed... Do you want to get out of here?"

"And go where?"

"To your favorite resturant of course!"

"Sam's Diner?!?"

That was where we use to go all the time when I went to Varsity. It became our hangout and if someone was in trouble or something then there would definitely be the place we would go.

"Where else would we go?"

"Hell yeah! Let's go!!!" I grab his arm and walk though the tons of drunk people and out the door. We get to his black mustang and he opens the door for me.

"What a gentleman!" I laugh from the sarcasm I used.

"HA HA you're so funny gorgeous." He closes the door, runs around the front of the car, opens the drivers side, and gets in.

The ride is a comfortable silence and then we get to the diner. He gets out and opens the door. I grab his hand as we walk through the entrance. The waitress leads us to a booth in the back of the restaurant and we order two milkshakes and french fries. The waitress comes back with our food and I take a french fry and dip it into my milkshake. As I look up I see Lance doing the same.

"I miss this!" I laugh and look at Lance and he joins in and laughs.

"Me too."

"Sooo"

"So uh is this like just friends hanging out or can we start from where we left off?"

"Uhh well I really did miss you. I mean like a ton. But Duke and Jase both hate you and want to murder you. Plus I still don't know if I can trust you enough to be back together right now, so I guess we can work towards getting there. Right now we can start by being friends. " He shouts yes and fist pumps the air. I laugh at him. He's such an idiot sometimes. We both start laughing. He drives me home when we finish eating. He comes inside and I change into my pajama pants and T-shirt.

"You can stay if you want." I tell him as I sit on my bed.

"Just like old times?" He takes off his jacket and shoes and lies next to me. His arm wraps around my waist.

"Yep just like old times. Hey Lance?"

"Yeah beautiful?'

I turn around and look at him. "I'm going to be honest with you. I like Jase. Before there was nothing going on because I had you but then we started getting closer. We were never together but I realized that I am pretty attracted to him... But that still doesn't change the fact that I love you."

"I understand lace. I just want you to know that I love you regardless. And whatever decision you make is okay with me as long as your happy. No matter how much I can't stand Jase."

"Thanks Lance. Goodnight." I say as I fall asleep in his arms.

"Night gorgeous." I hear him say as fall into darkness.
