Jax's POV:

Aspen and I have been moving along pretty well. Skylar is completely okay with us dating because… Skylar is dating Wyatt. I'm not complaining or anything. Unlike Marcus, I've let go on Skylar. Aspen and I are really happy together and that's a good thing.

I mean, it's not like Aspen and Skylar aren't friends anymore. They still are. But I like the idea that Aspen probably talks about us a lot and makes Skylar jealous. We even tried double dating once.

And don't get me wrong, it's not like Skylar and I aren't friends, but we're nothing more than that. I'm happy here. I'm just hoping that Marcus is happy enough to stay because to tell you the truth… I really don't wanna go back to Florida.

Kaz's POV:

So guess what? I finally told Oliver and Chase that I liked Aspen. They laughed and told me they knew. I was kind of confused. Was it really that obvious? The only part about me liking her is… She's happy with someone else. (Reason number eight hundred and fifty-three of why I hate Jax.)

I'm kind of trying to deal with the expectations versus reality. I want to be with Aspen, but I know she doesn't wanna be with me… Feeling suck.

Skylar's POV:

I had no idea Wyatt and I would get this close. I mean, where has he been all my life? Jax and I are like, ancient history. Wyatt is like… my soulmate. He's sweet, he's cute, he understands me, and he's really smart. We're happy. And I'm glad that Jax and I have moved on. Even though he moved on with my best friend…

Bree's POV:

So, the party that was about a week ago was fine… I tried avoiding Marcus and Jolene the whole time but somehow, they kept showing up like, everywhere! I couldn't take it anymore. I tapped Owen, he turned around and I kissed him passionately on the lips. (Making sure Marcus was watching). When I let go, he was gone. Jolene gave me a dirty look and left. I smirked. I had taken care of that problem.

I haven't heard or seen Marcus since then. Jolene hasn't even been in our penthouse. I don't care what everyone says. I'm happy. Nothing and no one can change that.

Marcus' POV:

Jolene and I… "broke up". We were never really together in the first place. I've been spending this past week in my bed. All I do is watch Netflix in my bed and eat pizza. It's the only thing that satisfies me. I haven't showered in a few days, actually…

I don't even know why I'm this depressed. Just seeing Bree kiss Owen again… hurt. I explained to Jolene that I couldn't do it. I couldn't date anyone. I wasn't ready. She did her best to comfort me, but it didn't work. She feels really bad and she keeps apologizing but it's not her fault… It's mine…

I turn the volume louder on my new favorite TV show. Then, Jax came in. "Hey bud! We are going bowling tonight! Wanna come?" He asked. "Define we," I said, but didn't bring my full attention towards him.

"Just the usual… me, Aspen, Skylar, Wyatt, Chase, Jolene, Kaz, Oliver… and Bree and O—" "I'm out," I told him before he could finish. "Come on, man!" He exclaimed as he sat on my bed. He picked up the remote and switched the TV off. I gave him an annoyed look.

We were both silent. I was staring at the TV in deep thought. Then, I spoke, "I—I think it'd be best if I went home." "Home? You are home," Jax reminded me. "No. Home, home," I replied. "Dude! You can't! You still have—" Before he could finish, I pointed to the calendar.

"It's been that long already?" He asked in a whisper. I got out of bed and pulled out a suitcase from underneath my bed. "I'm not expecting you to come with me. Nor do I want to force you to," I started. "You can't just run away!" Jax protested. "This was a part of the agreement. I'm sticking to my part. I'm leaving it up to you to stick to yours," I replied.

"But, I found happiness. Why can't you? Why can't you just move on? What's the big deal? I mean, I did!" Jax asked. "BECAUSE!" I yelled. Jax looked at me in shock. I was surprised I could yell that loud.

I tried again, but quieter. I was trying my hardest not to break out in tears. "Because, Skylar didn't break your heart. She didn't break your trust. She didn't…" I was starting to lose my voice. But I choked out the last word, "Cheat."

Jax was still in shock. He looked like he was about to cry. "I'm so sorry," He whispered. I looked down at my hands and started to cry. I didn't sob though. My tears were silent.

"When are you gonna leave?" He asked. "As soon as I can get a plane ticket. Which shouldn't be too hard," I replied. "Well, you're at least going to say goodbye to everyone… right?" He asked. I was silent for a minute. My sadness turned to anger as I said without reason, "No."

I was done with happily ever after's, as far as I was concerned, they didn't exist for me… Maybe for some but to me, it was all just fairytales.

There are gonna be like two chapters left. There will be a sequel, but I wanna finish a few fanfics before the new one.

Alright, I'm out,
