Chapter Fourteen

Blakely

How dare Jasper think that he has any control over who I spend my time with. I’m not sure who this guy thinks he is, but I do what I want, when I want, and with whomever I want. Just because we fooled around a little bit doesn’t mean that he’s suddenly my boyfriend. I don’t even want a boyfriend. Not even Levi. My goal right now is to get revenge on Petra. Only, Jasper doesn’t know that—not exactly, anyway. He knows I can't stand the girl, but he thinks that I actually want to be with Levi. Part of me always knew that it wasn’t Levi himself who I wanted; it was all because of my desire to stick it to Petra.

This vendetta with Petra started long before our fallout. She has been in competition with me her entire life. Our parents were in labor together at the hospital, she was born a mere three minutes before me. That’s when it all began. The race out of the womb became a race at life. Who will get the new doll house? Who will get the best car? Who will get the better grades? Who will get the guy? Although we were best friends, we were also the worst of enemies. It wasn’t until the incident with Wyatt that we called it quits for good—on our friendship, not on our competition. I’ll never admit it to anyone else, but she’s winning. She gets to me. She hurts me. She makes me bleed inside, and lately, it’s getting worse and worse. The thick red blood is beginning to ooze out and onto everyone I care about. My hatred for her has consumed me, and it’s beginning to put a wedge between myself and the world. I can’t give up, though.

I make one more attempt to reach Jasper, but he doesn’t respond. I don’t know why, but it bothers me. He’s ignoring me, and I don’t like to be ignored. A sudden knock at my bedroom door startles me out of my slumber.

“Blakely.” Knox rushes in. “Where is he? Where the hell is he?” His voice is loud, muffled, and he doesn't resemble the sweet Knox who I know. He looks like a rabid wolf ready to attack. He begins pacing my room, looking behind curtains.

I jump out of bed. “Knox, what the hell are you doing? What is going on?” That's when I notice his face. I clap my hands over my mouth. “Oh my God, Knox. What happened?”

“As if you don’t know.” He brushes past me, continuing to rummage through my bedroom like it’s his own personal space.

“I have no idea what is going on, but you better start talking.”

“Your new boyfriend. Where is he?”

“Jasper?” I question. Of course, that’s who he is talking about.

“Yes, Jasper. I know he’s here. His car is still in the driveway, so he couldn’t have gone far.”

“Jasper is not here. I haven’t even talked to him. Please, tell me what’s going on.” I grab ahold of him again, this time not letting go.
