"What the actual hell is going on here?" Kiera huffed, as she put her hands onto her hips. "Ashlynn, you need to stop before you embarrass yourself further."

Noah looked completely dumbfounded as he looked between me and Ashlynn.

I glanced over at Hayden and I could practically see the anger pouring out of his eyes.

Ashlynn looked over at Kiera. "I just wanted to be honest." She laughed, then looked over at me. "I mean, if I were Hayden I would want to know if someone else had feelings for my girlfriend." She cocked her head to the side. "Love is a big word, Khloe. I'm pretty sure Hayden hasn't even told you that he—"

"So what if Aiden still has feelings for me?" I almost yelled out of anger. "I have no idea what you're trying to prove here." I shook my head. "I didn't tell anyone because I wanted to protect Aiden. After everything that he told me about you and your father, I felt very horrible."

"Khloe, are you insane? Aiden did cheat on you with her!" Kiera pointed directly at Ashlynn. "What are you talking about?"

"You guys don't understand." I shook my head.

"I don't have time for this." Hayden suddenly spoke, and I looked over at him. "We have to go to practice before the game starts." He said quickly, practically grabbing onto Noah's arm. "You know, Aiden's the team captain, and I didn't want to start anything so I kept my mouth shut about your relationship. But now I might go have a word with him. I hate the guy, I never had respect for him because of how he treated you, Khloe."

My eyes widened in fear. "Hayden... you don't mean that." I took a step closer towards him. "Look, I appreciate how you haven't confronted Aiden the whole time that you've been on the basketball team. I told you to keep your distance and you did, but you can't go do anything stupid now!"

"Just let him go, Khloe," Kiera added, and even though she was my best friend I wanted her to shut up. "I don't even know how Hayden keeps his composure, because if I had to play basketball with him every day, I already would have punched him in the face."

Noah grabbed Kiera's shoulders. "Please babe, you're not making this any better."

"Please, everyone just stop!" I yelled, and everyone froze. "None of you know what you're talking about!"

Ashlynn suddenly stepped in front of me. "You better keep your mouth shut, Khloe." Her gaze was cold and harsh. "No one can ever know about this." Ashlynn's voice surprisingly got lower. "Just shut up."

I choked out a laugh. "It's too late for all that. If you wanted to keep your business private, then you wouldn't have come here and opened your mouth."

Ashlynn rolled her eyes. "I did it because I was angry. I just told you that Aiden broke up with me—"

"Is everything okay here?"
