Chapter 51Alpha Grey's POV"What do mean that she fainted?! Was she hurt? I gave you guys one job and you... You know what? Never mind. You guys are dismissed for the evening. You've don't enough for one night."I cut the call and breathed deeply. It was dark and I stood at the window of the hotel and looked out. I was on the top floor and I had the most wonderful view of the city but even that wasn't enough to make me stop regretting how i failed to protect Bailey. I wanted her prom this year to be perfect but it was now ruined.I remembered how miserable she was last year. I felt sad seeing her come home in tears as she was the only one at the dance that didn't have a date. She was so lonely and she cried for weeks. She thought that no one wanted her. I felt miserable that I couldn't just wisk her there and blow everyone away. I wanted to make up for keeping her alone for so long. I wanted this prom to be extra special for her. I bought the dress and jewelries and called the most f
I woke up to a throbbing headache, feeling disoriented and confused. As I tried to gather my thoughts, my mother walked in, holding a glass of juice. "You had a little too much to drink last night," she said, handing me the glass.I accepted the juice gratefully, feeling a little embarrassed about my lack of self-control. But as I drank, I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. My mind was foggy, and I couldn't remember anything after leaving the party.As if sensing my unease, my mother sat down beside me. “I wasnt dreaming, So Jennie came after me?” “Yes, Miguel explained everything, she hurt you so much my dear. How are you?”“I feel pains everywhere.”“I am sorry, take this.” she handed me some pills and made me drink them.My mother went on to explain that Miguel had brought me home, but not before a group of professional bodyguards had appeared, claiming they wanted to take me back to safety. Miguel had refused, not trusting them or their intentions, and instead
Chapter 53Bailey's POVWe walked around and soon we stopped at a cotton candy stand. The pink cloud-like fluff looked delicious. Miguel saw me oogling and nudged me a bit."You want one?"I blushed. I didn't know how to tell him. He took my silence as a yes and went over to the stand."One cotton candy please."The standowner smiled and began spinning the cotton candy and I watched the pink fluff swirl around. It was mesmerizing. It looked like he was creating beautiful, pink clouds out of nothing. Soon it was ready and he handed it to Miguel and he gave it to me. I smiled and took a large chunk out of it. It was delicious and fluffy and then it just melted in my mouth with sweet gooey goodness. "Hey, didn't you get one for yourself?""Nah. I'm good."I felt bad and offered him mine. He smiled and took a big chunk out of it."Hey! I said have some, not eat the whole thing."We both chuckled adn continued to walk around the carnival. Everyone looked so happy and the rides looked awe
Chapter 54I couldn't contain my excitement as I watched the glistening waters of the water park ahead. I had been wanting to come here for a while but I wasn't ready to deal with the world but Miguel had convinced me to come along. We were both standing at the entrance, dressed in our swimsuits, ready to take on all the rides and attractions that awaited us.Miguel and I were becoming very close in these past few weeks I was thrilled to spend the day with him. As we walked into the park, we were greeted by the sound of laughter and screams coming from all directions. I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins as we made our way to the first ride.We started with the water slides, which were a blast. We screamed our lungs out as we went down the twists and turns, splashing into the pools below. Next, we went on the lazy river, where we lounged on tubes and floated downstream. We also went to the wave pool where we jumped waves and played games with other people in the pool.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm, groggy and disoriented. The events of prom night flashed through my mind and I groaned, dreading another day of the same taunts and stares.I dragged myself out of bed and got dressed, steeling myself for another day of school. I knew that the hallway would be filled with whispers and stares, and my heart raced at the thought.I was really happy yesterday because it was a Sunday, I had fun with Miguel and no one bullied me. I just hope that today won't be bad.Walking out of the pack house, I met Miguel's in his car waiting for me. He didn't have to come and pick me up but he did. He got out of the car and opened the door for me. seating in I took in a deep breath.He got into the car and turned to me."How was your night.""It was fine" I replied, forcing a smile. It was good to see a friendly face, but I still felt overwhelmed by the situation."How are you? You don't look good'' he asked, concern etched on his face."I'm okay, I guess," I said, sh
I couldn't stop the tears from falling down my face as Miguel held me close. My mind kept replaying the events of prom night over and over again, and each time I blamed myself more and more. Miguel kept telling me that it wasn't my fault, that I shouldn't blame myself, but I just couldn't help it. I felt so weak and feeble."I'll make it up to you, Bailey," Miguel said, his voice filled with determination. "I promise."I looked up at him, my eyes still wet with tears. "How?""I don't know yet," he admitted. "But I'll figure something out. Just trust me, okay?"I nodded, grateful for his support. We stayed like that for a few more minutes, just holding each other, until the bell rang and it was time for us to go to our next class.The rest of the day was a blur. I couldn't focus on anything the teachers were saying, and I just wanted to go home and crawl into bed. But when I got to the parking lot, Miguel told me that he was taking me somewhere first."Where are we going?" I asked, conf
I woke up to the sound of my alarm ringing in my ears, signaling the start of a new school day. I groaned and hit the snooze button, burying my head under the covers. I didn't feel like going to school today. I had a lot on my mind, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been with me since yesterday.Yesterday, Miguel had told me something that had left me feeling confused and unsure of what to do. He had confessed that he had feelings for me, and I didn't know how to react. I didn't know if I felt the same way, and I didn't want to hurt him.And today I didn't know why but I wanted to avoid him, I skipped my first few classes and wandered through the halls, trying to clear my head. But my thoughts kept circling back to Miguel, and I couldn't concentrate on anything else. I didn't even realize how much time had passed until I heard a stern voice behind me."Bailey, what are you doing here?"I turned around to see the Geography teacher Mrs Johnson, looking at me with a
After a long night, though it was a short one, but compared to what happened yesterday, it was more longer to me than to anyone else. What we did last night; I and Miguel, though I wasn't expecting it, but I thought of it to be a better option if I didn't get to think about it now. After a sluggish but energizing stretch, I felt good and not restrained by lazy muscles. I took my gaze to my phone, I had to check it, this was something I get to do every morning, literally there was no day I don't wake up without checking on my phone, it had turned out to be a hobby for me. I was stunned to see a message from Alpha Grey he was apologizing after last night's incident. I wasn't expecting that he apologizes after everything, but my thoughts were proven to be wrong. I released a smile when I got to glance at how he constructed his words, and to say that they were really beautiful. "Thank you so much." I muttered after reading the message, I then sent a reply to him. As I threw my phon
