2024-10-29 19:42:56I 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

I let out a sigh before turning around to face Wesley. I've never seen him frown as much as he is doing right now." Wesley ------------"" Are you leaving?"" Maybe." I mumble, dropping my eyes to my feet, not being able to bear looking at the many emotions that cross his face." Why are you leaving?"I don't answer, feeling held back from opening up to him." Chloe, look at me, and tell me why you are leaving ?!" My head snaps up, to see a scary look in his eyes.He's not hiding how much he is upset." Wesley, I don't think you want to use that tone on her ever again, especially infront of me." Aiden's voice comes through, adding to the level of tension in the house." Aiden, please." I say, not wanting him to get involved." Look Wesley, about the other day, I was out of line and as for an answer

Silence had taken over quite a long time ago, after I told him the whole truth. I revealed about Luis and his controlling and abusive ways, my mother passing away and how it's always been Aiden and me. I tell him about how for most of my life, I've been moving from town to town, in hopes of safety and seeking refuge, long enough, that we would have a plan B." Don't look at me like that," I mumble, getting off the bed." I can't help myself because I care and I'm hurt. When you hurt, I hurt and I'm sorry." He says.I sigh, looking at the wall." Let me help you."And this is the reason why ladies and gentlemen, I didn't want him to know." No Wesley, I've already involved you enough just by telling you all this. I don't want you to get in, more deeper." I say, glancing his way." I don't care about me, your safety and well-being comes first." He says, risi

My patience is simply running thin with the stares. I thought it would pass, but nope, it has intensified, and now I've chosen to take refuge in the school library, just for the break.I didn't pay any mind to the few glances I've received when I entered the library, now with time passed, I feel like myself again. I know that Wesley meant well by what he did this morning, he didn't want me to remain under such attention, but I don't think he understands, what all this may mean.I feel him sit on the chair next to mine." I've been looking everywhere for you."" Well, you found me." I say, not tearing my eyes away from my book." Chloe, what's wrong?"" Nothing, just tired of the stares I've been receiving since morning."" Since when have you cared about them?" He says, his tone teasing.I turn away from the book to look at him.

" You've kept this for too long, she needs to know the truth. So if you don't say anything soon, I'll be forced to do it myself." This is what I walk into, Aiden saying or ' warning ' someone over the phone this morning.I watch him sigh before hanging up." Someone must have pissed you off this morning, huh?" I see him tense up from where he's standing.He turns around to face me and I take notice of some deep emotion, crossing his face before it disappears." You're not going to school today." He suddenly says." But Aiden ----------"" We need to go to the doctor and check if all is good."" I'm all good now, Wesley took care of me." I blurt out, making Aiden to raise his brows while my eyes widen in surprise. " Uh, what I meant was ----------"" I know what you meant."" No, I didn't ----------"

I can't believe I am sitting on the stands, watching both Wesley and Fin play basketball. Well, it's more like practise.Welsey is just helping Fin to get back to his groove and the enjoyment of the game, but I think what Wes doesn't realise, is that he is enjoying it too. I can see it in his face that he's been taken back to the good days, where basketball was his love.I am now back at school and I can't say I missed it very much, but it doesn't mean I have to skip alot. I just wish to finish already.I playfully roll my eyes when Wesley glances at me, throwing a wink my way before getting back to playing.Gosh, he is such a show off, I swear.I'm so fixed on watching them that I almost miss Callie and her cheerleading squad, along with a few guys from the basketball team enter the basketball court. I decide to ignore them and continue watching Wesley and Fin.I see the

" So, how do we do this?" I ask, turning around to face Aiden.I'm doing all I can to not let the tears fall." You know that this is not exactly goodbye."" It's not the same Aiden, and you know it....."He sighs, turning away from me and taking a seat at the edge of my bed. I join him after some time and we sit in silence for a few minutes." You really are pushing me to kick you out faster."" Wow, someone's eager to get rid of me." I say sarcastically." Yeah, I am, because it'll be much easier to watch you walk away."" Now, you're the one pushing me to run away." I say, looking away from him.I can feel my tears pushing to come out.He sighs. " So, how long will we keep doing this?""Until you tell me that you don't want me to go."" I want you to go."

" I love you." I say to a sleeping Wesley." You finally said it."Or not." You messed up my moment, Adams." I complain, flicking his nose.His eyes flutter open and I smile at him. I feel his hand reach under the covers to touch my waist." No, You cheated, you knew that I wanted to be awake when you finally said it."" I love you." He blinks at me.I see him lean close and I meet him halfway, to connect our lips. A small moan slips out when he lightly squeezes on my waist.I sigh in contentment, when he breaks the kiss and starts peppering kisses on my face. " My bluebear." He says against my forehead.I place my hand on his chest, right where his heart beats. He leans back to look at me, and we find ourselves simply staring at each other." So, nervous about today?" I ask.Tod

" Thank you." I hear Owen say, as he walks the doctor out.I touch on my bandaged middle, sighing in relief that it's not as painful anymore. When the doctor had touched and pressed the wound, the tingling was replaced by a shot of pain.Thankfully, he told us that I just need to take a better look after myself and not push too hard. I should not push too hard to fully recover, I should allow everything to take natural cause.I think Owen must be more relieved, when the doctor had said we didn't need to go to the hospital. I'm pretty sure that he has no desire to ever visit the hospital again. Not that I did.One of the things that the doctor was impressed by, was how well I've been doing, in terms of my walking pace and that I'm functioning okay, that the gunshot, didn't do any permanent damage.I get up off the couch, pulling down my shirt and heading to the kitchen. I take out a can of

Something soft touches my forehead, surely waking me up. I feel someone get in under the covers and wrap an arm around me, pulling me close. Knowing that it's no one else but Wesley, my response to him is snuggling into his chest." I thought I was being careful to not wake you up." He whispers above my head.I sigh, opening my eyes and tilting my head back, so I look up at him." I was wondering why you haven't snuck into my room yet, after....." I trail off, leaving the rest to hang in the air." I was waiting for the right moment."" What made today the right time?"" I don't know, maybe because I missed you a whole lot, and I just needed to be near you tonight."I reach out my hand to touch his face, letting my thumb to gently rub his skin. We spend some time just staring at each other, letting ourselves to get lost into each other's eyes.

~ Flashback~' I think she's warming up to me being her father.' I hear Owen say.I know that they think I'm still asleep, but I've long woken up now.' You've been waiting for the day she calls you dad.' Aiden says.'Yeah, but I know that I need to be patient, and wait for her to get comfortable around me again.''Owen, she knows that she has no reason to be uncomfortable around you. She's just getting used to the idea of being your daughter, don't ever mistake this for her being uncomfortable. I know my sister, and she'll come around. " ' Maybe I should give her some space.' Owen says after a while.' Owen ------------ ''She needs to let this sink in, without me sticking around. She

I shift on the bed, trying to sit up and do something, because I don't like the effect, that the silence seems to have on us. After what I said, Aiden hasn't been able to respond.He knows that what I said, is the truth.As I move, he is there to help me until I sit up, now being in eye level with him." I'm a ----------"" It was self defense." He cuts me off." He might have done the worst kind of things to us, but, it doesn't change the fact that I killed him. I killed someone's son."" It was self defence, Chloe! - He was ready to kill you, he'd been trying to do this for a long time and at the last moment....." He cuts himself short, rising to his feet and turning his back on me.I watch him run his fingers through his hair, releasing a sigh. " At the last moment, you put an end to it all. "My eyes drop to my lap when he turns around to face me. " You're a survivor, Chloe, that's why you are still

The light is shining so bright, almost blinding my eyes. I blink a couple of times until I can adjust to it. When I become familiar to the room, I recognize my surroundings and conclude, that I am in the hospital.Moving one of my arms because they feel a little numb right now, I frown when something restrains me. I glance down to my hand and feel my heart stop for a moment, when I realize that I'm actually handcuffed to the bed.What in the world?Why am I handcuffed?The door opens and my eyes snap to the person who enters. Two suspicious looking men, in leather jackets enter, and I feel very unsafe, just by being alone with them." Miss James, good day." One of the men speaks, he's tall with sandy blonde hair.I don't respond, but just look at them.I don't know who these men are, and they could very well be, Luis's friends.

Something is touching my hair and I've gone in and out of consciousness, fighting my way through waking up. I don't know how long I've gone through the same pattern, but one thing I know, is that I need to stay awake." Aah, look who's awake." I hear his voice.My body is exhausted and it feels heavy, I feel like I can't move because of where I've been shot. I know that this monster shot me.I feel numb almost, but I do all I can to resist letting myself fall unconscious again." I was getting bored here, good thing you woke up. Damn, you're stronger than I thought, you're still holding on." He chuckles.I want to punch him hard right now, so bad.I hear him shift, and by the squeaking sound, I know that he has me laid onto a bed. When he sits infront of me, I feel disgusted just by looking into his eyes." You're prettier than I remember, but I knew

My phone slips from my hand and drops to the floor. I'm too stunned and my feet are stuck in place.Heads whip in my direction and Aiden's eyes are the first I see, widening in shock. Chairs scrape at once, as they all rise to their feet, now facing me." Chloe?" I snap out of it and I stagger back, as my heart beats hard against my chest." Chloe, listen -----------"" S-stay away from me." I stutter, holding up my shaky hands in warning." What you just heard, you weren't meant to find out like this, look -------"I trip on my feet and land on my butt." Stay away from me, all of you.
