Hey here is a new story that I'm working on. Critiques welcome and let me know if I should continue with it.
Broken Road Chapter 1
Beep, beep! My phone sounded, alerting me of a new text. I glanced up from my book and grabbed the phone, '1 New Message' the home screen read. I slid the bar across the screen and entered my password. The new message popped up after a moment and I noticed it was a picture. I pressed the picture to enlarge it and was confused by what I saw.
Rachel had sent me a picture of two people kissing. The girl was a brunette and the guy was blond. At second glance there was something very familiar about the guy, after a moment I realized what. Below the picture was a message, 'someone has some explaining to do!'
Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the picture of Aidyn kissing another girl. Grief filled my body, so much that I thought I was going to drown in it. I started to choke on the tears that were streaming down my face, the pain of betrayal broke my heart into a million pieces.
I fell back onto my bed and layed there, numb. I heard my phone ring but I didn't care enough to answer it. I didn't understand what was happening, my mind was still trying to process everything that the picture had meant.
Aidyn and I had been going out for five months. He was my first real boyfriend, my first love. He was even the first guy that my parents had approved of, which was a shock in itself. He was tall, handsome and athletic, the typical "Prince Charming" that is in every fairy tale, except there would be no "happily ever after" this time.
Just thinking about him brought on a wave of hysteria. As I faught back this demon that had been released, time had no meaning. In my personal hell seconds felt like hours, minutes were like lifetimes. The tears fell like a never ending watrlerfall, draining my energy as they fell. My body couldn't comprehend this pain, it literally felt like my heart was breaking. All I could think of was 'Why did he do this? Was it my fault?'
When I was able to claw myself back to awareness, it was 3 in the morning. My body was exhausted and I knew I needed sleep, but that seemed impossible. I rolled onto my side and curled up into the fetal postion as a few more silent tears fell, and, surprisingly, slipped into a light, fitful sleep.
The next thing I remember is rolling over and seeing the clock that read 8:05. I blinked but didn't make any move to get up. After a moment of complete silence, my phone rang. I grabbed it from the night stand next to my bed. I noticed it was Rachel, but I didn't want to talk to her so I just pressed 'Ignore' and layed it back on my pillow. As I layed there a few tears managed to slip past my control and I began to drown again. The phone lit up again, playing a cheerful tune that did not match my mood. I was about to press the ignore button again when I realized it was Jared.
"Hello," I managed to croak, wincing at how bad my voice sounded.
"Aub? What's wrong?" Jared asked, his concern for me leaking into his voice.
I knew I couldn't lie to Jared. We have been best friends practically since the day that we were born. Sometimes I'm pretty sure that Jared knows me better than I know myself.
I choked on my tears, making a gagging noice. "Aub? I'll be right over." Jared said before he hung up.
The minutes passed slowly seeming like hours. The tears continued to fall and all I wanted was for the pain to end. Eventually, I felt the bed shift as someone layed down next to me. "Hey Aub" I heard Jared whisper in my ear.
I rolled over to face him and looked up into his blue-green eyes. I could tell that they were searching my face, looking for a answer. "Can we go to your house?" I asked, wanting to escape the prison of my house.
"Sure," he answered, as he rolled out of my bed, pulling me with him.
I untangled myself from his arms and walked out of my room. As I walked down the stairs and out of the house a small part of my mind realized that my sister, Ashley, and my mom were gone. 'Good,' I thought 'at least they won't know I'm gone.' I climbed into Jared's truck and leaned against him as we drove in silence. Jared wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I finally felt safe.
I must have fallen asleep during the short drive because the next thing I remember is waking up in Jared's bed with his arms wrapped around me. I turned over to find him loking back at me, waiting patiently for me to wake up.
"What's wrong Aub?" Jared asked, his concern obvious in his voice and his eyes.
I grabbed my phone from the pocket of my shorts and scrolled through the messages to find the one from last night. Careful not to look at it, I handed it to Jared so he could see. I could feel his arms tighten around me, and his whole body went rigid when he realized what he was seeing. When I heard his breath get caught in is throat, I knew he was mad.
The tears started to fall again as my mind started to think about Aidyn. "Shhh, shhh. It's ok, he's a jerk and a huge idiot. He doesn't know how great a girl he had, a girl other guys would kill to have." He whispered in my ear, trying to soothe me.
When he spoke that last part I felt him wince but didn't think about it too much, I was too wrapped up in my pain. As he spoke more about how stupid Aidyn was, I started crying harder. I didn't want to know that Aidyn was a jerk, I just wanted to forget about him. The tears fell faster and faster down my face and I cried my heart out again. When there was no more tears left in my body I fell asleep, exhausted.
**********************************************************
My heart broke as I watched her sleep. Even the escape of unconsciousness wasn't able to erase all of the pain from her beautiful features. I brushed a piece of her purple highlites from her face laughing, remembering when she had gotten them. Everything about her made me smile.
Every fiber of my being was dieing to tell her the truth, I couldn't deny my true feelings for her anymore. Even though I wanted to tell her, I knew I couldn't. Not now after that bastard had broken her heart into a million pieces. I mentally kicked myself to make my body calm down before I screamed, which would wake her up. I didn't want to desturb her, she looked exhausted.
It was about a year ago when I started to fall in love with Aubrey. We were the best of friends, we would tell each other everything but I started to feel more than just friendship. She was the only girl I ever wanted to be around. I tried dating at first, just to try and get her off my mind, but it never lasted long because every girl would get jealous of me and Aubrey. Finally I stopped dating and decided to try waiting for Aubrey to see how I felt.
It had broken my heart when she told me that she liked Aidyn Daniels, but I tried not to let it show, for her sake. But it had almost destroyed me when she told me that he had asked her out. She was my best friend and I knew I couldn't lose her over something this stupid, so I hid the pain from her. I tried to be happy for her as long as she was happy with him, no matter how much it hurt me. But now he had broken her and it killed me to watch the consequences of his stupid decision. How could he have cheated on someone as beautiful, sweet, and funny as Aubrey?
I tightened my arms around her pulling her tighter against my chest and gently pressed my lips to her forehead. If I closed my eyes I could pretend, if only for a moment, that she was mine and that I had a right to do this. But when I opened my eyes there would be the same reality as before, with the same heartache that has been there the past year. I sighed, my breath washing over her face, and leaned my head against the girl I loved and wished for the thousandth time that she was mine.

I am going to keep reading, if you keep writing! 
Basically, I just want to see more of him in the story, like either one at every chapter, or even one out of two would be his POV. If this is too much for the story and the feel you are going for, you can always do the first and last chapter?
