JUNIPER
I pressed the ice wrapped in a cloth against Axel’s face. His lip was already swollen from his fight with Asher. After I put my stuff in my dorm, I got anxious waiting for Axel, so I went to find him. I wasn’t expecting to see him and Asher fighting the way they were.
Asher left before I could say anything to him, so I focused on taking care of Axel. Neither of us had said anything, other than me ordering Axel to sit while I got the ice. I didn’t know what to say.
I hated seeing Axel and Asher fight like that. I didn’t know who started the fight, but after Homecoming, I knew Asher was the safest bet. After our last conversation, I thought things would improve between us. I thought maybe with time we could be friends again.
Then he saw me kissing Axel. I knew how it looked. Bar
