I look up at Jasper, only to get lost in his eyes; I had always loved his eyes. They were brown, but the longer you looked into them, you could see hints of orange in them, which had always reminded me of autumn.

   I hadn't realized it, but memories of our past began to flash as we gazed into each other's eyes...

   The brisk morning air bit at my skin as I slowly made my way to my school, a slight smile dancing on my face. I could spot Jasper leaning against the school's building once the school came into view," Jasper!" I called out as I quickened my pace. 

   His head snapped towards my direction before a smile graced his lips. He opened his arms to me and I quickly dove into them, his arms wrapping around me as I enjoyed the warmth radiating off him," Morning Riley~" Jasper sang in my ear, causing a giggle to escape my mouth," Miss me?"

   I looked up at him, my chin resting on his chest," Of course I did!" I replied, smiling brightly at him. He smirked before leaning down, pressing his lips against mine. A blush dusted my cheeks from this action, but I didn't care, I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me.

  " Alright love birds, you can stop sucking each other's faces off now." Jessica teasingly stated, her arms crossed on her chest as she looked at us with a sly smirk.

   I pulled away from Jasper, blushing a darker shade of red before burring my face into Jasper's chest. He chuckled, causing his chest to rumble," Morning to you too Jess." Jasper greeted, smiling at her.

   " Yeah, good morning..." I said -muffled by Jasper's chest- still embarrassed.

   "  Just in case you guys don't know -I'm looking at you Riley- I'm holding a party at my place tonight, and I want you guys to come!" Jessica stated, excitement gleaming in her eyes," So wha'cha say?"

   I turn my head towards her," I don't know..." 

   She pouts," You never go to parties...! Just go to this one! Please~?"

   I ponder for a moment," Come on babe, it'll be fun~" Jasper commented, smiling down at me.," I'll be at your side the whole time, I promise."

   I blush a bit, looking down," I-I guess we can go..." I stutter out; whenever Jasper called my 'babe' or 'baby' I couldn't help but blush!

   " Yay!!!!" Jess squealed, jumping up and down in happiness," You guys are the best!"

   Both me and Jasper laughed at her childishness. Before the conversation could go any further, the bell rang, echoing through the halls of our school," Better get to class, see ya'll later!"Jessica waved to us before darting off to her class.

   Jasper let go of me, causing me to shiver from the loss of heat," You cold?" he asks, looking down at me with slight concern.

   I nodded, my cheeks a but red," I-I forgot my jacket again..." I mumbled, looking away embarrassed. Jasper smiled before taking his leather jacket off," Y-You don't have to-"

   " I want to Ri." Awww...he used the nickname...

   Jasper swung his jacket around me and placed it on my shoulders," T-Thanks..." I stuttered out, looking away flustered.

   " No problem." he leaned down and kissed my cheek, causing me to blush once again," god you're cute when you blush."

   " S-Shut up..." I stuttered as Jasper smirked," W-We should be heading to-

   The bell rung once more.

   " CLASS!!!" We both yelled in illusion, darting off to our classes.

   " What to wear, what to wear...." I mumbled to myself as I gazed upon two outfits I had chosen for the party," Gah! I don't know." I plopped myself down against my bed, my arms crossed on my chest as I wore a frustrated expression upon my face.

   Cassidy always helped pick out my outfits since I usually had no fashion sense.

   I smiled, recalling the memory of her picking out my first day of school outfit for freshman year. She had always been the type to help people, and that always included me. With her happy and goofy personality, she was the perfect shopping buddy.

   " But she's not here now..." I said to myself, a frown now appearing on my face as I pushed myself off the floor," So I have to do it."

   I randomly grabbed option number one, which was very basic: a black v-neck long sleeve shirt, jeans, black and white converses, a choker, and my black earrings.

   Once I finish getting dressed into my 'party' outfit, I grab my phone off its charger and flopped onto my bed. I checked through some of my apps, trying my best to make the notifications go away. 

   I guess I was doing that for awhile since I ended up getting a text from Jasper, saying he was outside my house waiting. I quickly got up and made my way out of my room, grabbing Jasper's leather jacket -that I had forgot to return at school- in the process.

   I said my goodbyes to my parents before walking out the front door. As I walked outside, I could see Jasper leaning against his parked motorcycle looking at his phone. A smile spread across his face once he noticed my walking towards him," You look great babe," He says with a smirk, wrapping his arms around my waist once I reach him," I see you decided to put your earrings in?"

   I nodded, my face dusted red," Y-Yeah. I kinda grew fond of them."

   He let out a chuckle, leaning down and pecking my lips," I told you that you wouldn't regret getting them." He commented, smirking at me; I was really against the idea of getting them. I thought it'd make me more 'girly' looking then I already was. But he persuade me and now I have them. And I gotta admit, I love them!

   " Whatever..." I mumbled, looking away from his gaze. 

   Jasper chuckled again, amused by my reaction. He leaned down once more and planted a kiss on my cheek," You're so cute when you pout like that." I grumbled a 'shut up' in response; he loved to do this to me, making me blush and stutter. But he really doesn't need to try very hard, I would blush and stutter over the tiniest of things," Let's get going, shall we?"

   I nodded in response, not wanting to stutter anymore. Jasper hopped onto his bike, pulling an extra helmet out from his backpack -that I forgot to mention he had- and handing it to me. I pulled the helmet over my head, Jasper doing the same, before climbing behind Jasper, wrapping my arms around his torso," Hold on tight."

   I scoffed playfully," Jasper, I've ridden with you before, you don't need to remind-" Jasper squeezed the motorcycle clutch lever with his left hand all the way to the grip before pressing the start button with his right thumb, the engine roaring before shooting off," ME!!!"

   I hugged Jasper for dear life, scared that I might fall. I could hear him chuckle through the wind blowing by us as he drove," What's so funny?" I shout to him as he drives.

   We slow down at a red light. Once we came to a stopped, he turned towards me," I love it when you hold me like that." I could tell he was smirking from underneath his helmet. 

   I looked away flustered. But from the corner of my eye, I noticed the light had changed," Jasper! Green light!" he cursed under his breath before shooting off on his bike.

-----

   " Do you always have to drive like a maniac?" I ask, leaning against Jasper's bike for support,"...I'm so dizzy..."

   Jasper chuckled, walking over to me after locking our helmets to his bike," Well we had to make it on time." he said, bending down to place a soft kiss upon my lips. I immediately melted into it, wrapping my arms around his neck while his were placed on my waist.

   " Why do I always catch you two making out?" Jasper and I pull away and face the owner of the voice, which to no surprise, was Jessica.

   " W-We weren't making out..." I stutter in defense, my hands now placed on Jasper's chest.

   " Whatever you say Riley," she stated with a teasing smile," but you guys look great!"  we both smiled and said thank you, but I could clearly see Jess eyeing Jasper a bit; when me and Jessica became friends, she told me flat out that she had a thing for Jasper, but that was before I told her we were dating. And she understood that, but from time to time, I can catch her checking Jasper out.

   " Now how about we get inside?" Jessica asks as both me and Jasper nod in agreement. She smiles at us before walking towards her house with the two of us trailing behind her.

   Once we enter the house, I'm greeted by loud music, bright lights, and of course the smell of alcohol and sweat. Jasper must have noticed my reaction to this, and decided to grab my hand in comfort," I'll be by your side the whole time, alright?" I nod before we go deeper into the crowd of dancing teens.

-----

   I don't know how long it's been since I've entered this party, but I'm regretting my decision SO much right now. I've been sitting on Jessica's couch, hugging my knees to my chest, for hours it seems.

   Oh, and don't think Jasper ditched me, he would never do that. Jessica had came over and asked to talk to him in private, which I did not abject to. But he's been gone for a bit, and I'm growing more nervous by the second.

   I had been fine up to the point Jasper left, and now, I sit on a couch alone with the smell of alcohol burning my nose," Hey there~" I turn my head to see Jack, the school's football captain, sitting down next to me with a drunken look upon his face," What's a pretty thing like you doing all alone?" Drunk. Definitely drunk.

   " I have a boyfriend." I state plainly, turning my head away from him.

   He grabbed a hold of my chin and made me look his way," That's not what I asked." He leaned forward and kiss me right on the lips.

   With wide eyes, I push Jack away, almost falling off the couch in the process," W-What the hell are you doing...?" I question, wiping the taste of alcohol from my lips," Do you not understand the words 'I have a boyfriend' or what?"

   He smirk at me, trying to reach for me, but I stood up," What's the problem? I thought you'd like that."

   I glared at him," I would never enjoy a kiss from you." I state, venom in my words, but he didn't seemed fazed at all.

   " You know very well that your boyfriend of yours ain't gonna stay with ya forever. I mean, look at you," I look down at myself; I wasn't much to look at. I was skinny and girly looking, and my mitch-match eyes didn't help my case either," You think he'd stay with you?  He'd be better off dating someone else, Frankenstein." Those words went straight through my heart.

   I hadn't been called that name since middle school. It was a horrid name kids would call me.

   I could tell I was on the brink of tears, so I turned away and pushed my way out of the house. I let out a sigh once I made it outside, I never smelt such fresh air. But now, tears streamed down my face," I-I need to find Jasper..." I said to myself, now walking around for him.

   I searched the backyard but found no sign of him, and when I was about to give up and call him, I heard a noise come from the side of the house. Out of curiousity, I walked closer. The noises became more clear and sounded like...muffled moans? I grew more nervous as I peeked around the corner, scared to see who was making those sounds.

   But my heart shatter into a million pieces at what I saw.

   Jasper was making out with someone, but not just anyone, Jessica, having her pinned to the wall.

   I didn't want to believe what I was seeing, I wanted to believe this was some sick dream I was having. But it was all too real.

   Tears gushed down my face," Y-You jerk..." I mumbled, but they didn't hear me. Anger build up in me, and I didn't try to contain it," YOU CHEATING SON OF A B****!" They both looked at me with wide eyes, but their expressions both quickly changed.

   Jasper didn't dare make eye contact with me, and instead looked away, as if ashamed. But Jessica, she smiled at me with an evil smirked.

   As tears continued to stream down my face, I quickly took of Jasper's jacket -which I ended up wearing instead of returning it to him- and threw it to the ground," H-Have your jacket back you cheating bastard." And with that, I left.

   I walked all the way home, crying from the aching pain in my heart.

   I cared for him.

   I loved him.

   He was my everything.

   But I guess I wasn't his...

   " Riley! Are you alright?" My mother asked, worried out of her mind when I got home. But I wasn't. I wasn't alright, I was the complete opposite.

   I ended up staying home for a week after that dreadful night. Jasper tried to call me -he tried everyday- but I never answered. I didn't need to hear his stupid excuses. When I did end up going back to school, I went back to my formal self; the lonely outcast.

   Jasper broke my heart, and I couldn't forgive him.

   I had no one to talk to.

   No one to comfort me.

   I. Was. Alone.
