Chapter 23.
"Will you finally tell me where we are going?" I ask, glancing at him after my curiosity gets the best of me.
I mean he pretty much asked me to be his ditching Buddy, the least he owed me is knowledge of where we were headed to.
" Away from there," he says, not giving me the answer I'm looking for.
I decide to not ask any further, but let to him have his way for now. For the rest of the trip we remain in silence, and all I do is watch trees become the only thing, I get to see around us.
Entering into a dirt road brings a frown upon my face. We've long gone a little way out of town, this trip reminding me of times Aiden and I ran. When at a distance, a beautiful cabin house comes into view, I steal a glance Wesley's way.
" I needed to get away," he says, the minute he parks in front of the cabin house, which is beautiful by the way and quite big.
" Are we trespassing?" I as

" Is it here already? " I ask Anita, when I notice her in the kitchen, ignoring the sound of footsteps chasing after me.She turns around, wiping her hands dry." Well yes -------------" I don't even wait for her to finish, before starting for the door." Chloe, wait!" I hear him call after me, but I ignore him.Right when I reach the door, I open it, only for it to suddenly get slammed shut, I'm soon spun around and caged between the door and a panting Wesley." Wait."" Leave me alone Adams." I say in warning, trying to push him back but his hands on my shoulders, prevent me from doing anything." You're mad at me," he states." And I wonder why?" I arch my brow." Look, I just ----------"" You used me Wesley, you bloody used me!" This time when I push him away, he staggers back in surprise.

" Language, Chloe!" One of them scolds me, and I definetly identify him as the real Owen.Owen literally hates any foul language coming out my mouth, whenever he scolds me, he scolds me like a father would have done.Owen, the real Owen without the cap, steps forward." I'm happy that you are back. We've been so worried about you. I've been ------------"" Who is he?" I ask, gesturing to the stranger that looks identical to him.The stranger, wearing a cap, which reminds me of that night, steps forward, and I don't miss the cut on his lip." He is my twin brother, Davin." Owen answers, not tearing his eyes away from me.Since when?I didn't know that he had a twin brother, one who's violent when drunk, just like Luis." Hello Chloe." Davin says, holding out his hand.I don't shake his hand but look at him.

" Not even a goodmorning or goodbye, you're just going to leave?" He asks, speaking up and breaking the tense silence that had taken over." Morning." I mumble, not meeting his eyes." Chloe, I'd like for you to look at me when we are talking."No, that's one thing I can't do right now. I'm embarassed about everything right now.He sighs when I don't look at him." Chloe." He steps forward and that's when my head snaps to him.Before either one of us can say anything, we hear footsteps come downstairs." I have to go." I say, quickly getting out of the house before both of them say anything.I sigh and head down the porch steps, to meet Wesley, who stands leaned by his car." Morning." I say, heading over to get into the passenger seat." Morning." He calls over his shoulder.When we both

" You aren't ready yet?" Aiden's voice knocks me out of my thoughts.I glance away from the window and turn to him. " No, I uh........" I pause when I notice him glance down to my exposed arms." I won't do it again, you know." I mumble, walking over to my bed to take my gown, so as to cover up.He sighs, earning my eyes." I don't like the fact that you did it in the first place." He mentions." Will it make it all better if I tell you that it was my first time doing it?""Knowing that it was the last time, eases me." He says, not tearing his eyes away from my arms, even though I have covered them." Aiden, they will disappear soon." I say, mentioning the marks." I know that." Somehow he looks like he doesn't believe his own words." What's the problem, Aiden?" I ask through a sigh." You did it, that's

I knew that at some point, once I started hanging out with Wesley, glances and stares, wouldn't be a foreign thing.It's proven by how much I've both caught and felt, people stare at me. I don't understand why they won't just mind their own business, seriously.To think at some point in the past, I would have told Wesley to stay away from me, if I was faced with such a situation, but now things are different. Wesley and I are friends.And I value that.So I won't be intimidated by people openly staring at me. Wesley's friendship is above feeling uncomfortable right now. It's unfortunate that we aren't sharing a class right now, because I don't know how he's doing. He isn't covered by his hoodie today and therefore, he is at the centre of everyone's attention.I just hope he can handle this and hold on until the end of school. A sigh of relief takes over when the bel

WesleyI want to call him but I'm afraid to. I'm afraid that the impact of Aiden's words, that were thrown at him, were too much of a weight on him.Aiden lost control of himself and was downright mean. I know that there was more to just scolding us and making us see our wrong, in skipping school, but the way he went about everything was not right.Yes, things had been left under tension between us, but I just can't understand, what else could have set Aiden off. There were times when I would watch Aiden and worry, that he has invested himself too much in being my parent, rather than being my brother. That is where we find ourselves riding on tension, because sometimes he loses that sense of understanding me.He can forget at times that I also have my own life, to better understand myself, to make mistakes, and to experience what life has to offer for me. He also has a life and as

Leaving again.......The idea alone makes me to think really hard, on what mine and Aiden's next move would be. Moving is nothing new for us because we've been running, for most of our lives.We've never remained in one place for as long as we have here, we were starting to get comfortable, and I believe it's what has scared Aiden a little. I've found myself questioning our level of comfortability when it came to this place.Preparation for leaving at just about anytime, has never been lost from me, but I must say that being here, has felt more at home than any place we've ever stayed at. I can actually picture long term in regards to this place, but Aiden's happiness and peace of mind holds more value, than everything else.So, if it's time for us to leave, I'll accept without any protest. I'm putting him first, just as he has always done." Penny for your thoughts?" I snap ou

If someone told me that I would one day, much sooner, might I add, that I would come downstairs to see Wesley Adams, in a new haircut with brown highlights, no hoodie, white shirt and light jeans, I wouldn't have believed it.He looks nothing like the guy I last saw, he neither looks like the captain everyone knew, and totally not like Wesley, the guy who wanted to disappear and stay unnoticed. He looks refreshed, if that's the right word to use." I'll uh, leave you guys to talk." Ingrid says, leaving the room.I don't respond, not that I've said anything since I saw him, I've basically been staring openly at him." Chloe -----------" He steps closer." Who are you?" He stops in his tracks, his brows pulling together." Uh, Wesley?" He says, with a cute, confused look on his face." You look different." I let out without thinking, causing his face to fall
