A/N; It's two chapters update. So if you haven't read Chapter 19, please go back to read Chapter 18. Thank you for reading Love and Secrets.Author's POV"Aw, are you okay?" Jake asked with a smile."This is not funny. But what was I to expect?" She grumbled and took her sneakers to wear it.What was the point of getting up again? She has already fallen on the hard floor, her butt was aching so why get up before she wore her sneakers?"Come on." He added stretching his arm to her and she eyed it suspiciously. She looked up at his face her eyes squinted as he was standing right beside the sun.She looked back down and tied the lace of her sneakers. Once it was done, she looked back up to see his hand was still stretched to her.Was he serious? What fool would take his hand after he had just offered her help only to drop her a few seconds later?Jake understand the look in her eyes and he rolled his eyes. Everyone would think that."I'm not going to drop you again. That was payback. So

"What are you doing?", Navaeh asked blinking at Quinnel who was facing her with his lips pluckered and his eyes shut.That made Quinnel open his honey coloured eyes to stare back at her. He then looked down at his hand to see he was still sitting in his seat and her in hers. Which meant, they didn't kiss. Nothing happened. Their bodies didn't attract to each other like a magnet. And he was just imagining everything?!"Quinnel, are you okay?""Huh?", He asked when he saw her mouth moved."I said are you okay? You're looking like you're sick or something", She repeated."Oh, I'm fine. Just a little bit dazed. Uhh, I think it's a good idea if we go back to class before the twins start to look for us", He said and without waiting for an answer, he stood up and walked away."Hey, wait up for me!", She yelled after him and pushed her body up from the chair and ran after him.Quinnel slowed his pace and they walked side by side into the school.•••"Hold on, what are you even supposed to pa

"You guys are matching", Quinnel said pointing at Zaire and Ashley who looked at each other like they didn't know they were matching or didn't leave the same house. Then they turned to Quinnel and grinned at him. Navaeh chuckled and took a sip of her warm coffee. "You got coffee?", She asked before she could even bring the Starbucks cup down from her mouth. "Uhh, yeah. Quin got it for me", Navaeh drawled out and both Ashley and Zaire eyes turned to Quinnel who sipped away looking elsewhere like he didn't know two expectant eyes were waiting for him. Ashley then stepped back and looked at them grinning. She pulled out her phone and took a shot before the two of them knew what was happening. She liked they way they were both standing and holding a Starbucks coffee. They looked like a couple that she knew they would be. Quinnel still had coffee in his mouth as he held the cup close his lips while Navaeh played with the black cover of the Starbucks coffee with a smile on her face. "

"Coach! I need to use the bathroom!" "Pee in a bottle or something.""In the bus?!""She's a girl.""Just stop the damned bus!""We need to move our limbs!""Guys, I can't feel my legs!""We've been going for hours! We're tired!""Stop the bus!""Stop the bus!""Stop the bus!""Alright alright then. We're taking Five!" After traveling for five hours in the bus, the students were tired, hungry and tired!The coach who was the one following them, didn't see anything to be tired about. He saw it in the perspective that the only person that had the right to complain was the driver."Oh finally!" Everyone yelled in frustration.The coach rolled his eyes at the students who he thought as lazy people. Once the bus stopped and the door was opened, everyone immediately walked out to stretch their body."Hey, Quin... The bus stopped." Navaeh said shaking the guy that had fallen asleep on her shoulder."Hm? Five more minutes.""By then, the bus would be gone." "Dude, get the fuck up. At least

"Hold on, Coach said Breakfast?" Navaeh confirmed as she unpacked her clothes into the closet."Yeah?" Ashley replied facing the beautiful silver lining ceiling while lying on her soft bed comfortably while dangling her legs to and fro since it didn't touch the ground."Is it not supposed to be like Dinner?" She said and Ashley stopped her dangling for a second before she continued."I guess the travel overworked his brain." Ashley said with a chuckle."Crazy girl." She replied before she pushed in the drawer."I'm going to shower", Navaeh said again walking to the bathroom."Hold on, are we going out later?" Ashley asked lying on her side."I don't know. If there are people going, we can. Ask in the group who is going." She said and walked into the bathroom.Ashley lied on her stomach and took her phone. She opened her chat and sent a message into the group chat.A:Who is going on a tour later?Immediately, her phone dinged as a reply came through.Y:I am! But I'm taking a nap first.

Navaeh's POV"Hey, Get in there. Quick." I said and pushed Jake into the opened elevator. He raised a brow and I turned around to immediately close the elevator. I went to hide behind Jake so his taller and broader build would cover me and the elevator closed right when Amelia looked into it.I breathed a huge sigh of relief before I realized I had to explain to someone. I turned my head to Jake who was already giving me a 'What just happened?' look."What?" I asked with a grin and faced the elevator that was counting downwards. It stopped at the Fourth floor and people swarmed into it.Jake immediately pulled me to himself as a man rushed into the elevator so it would not close on him and then he would have to wait for the next one. That or he took the stairs.I looked up at Jake to see him already looking down at me. I grinned and clutched my phone in my hand.What's wrong with me? Why is my heart beating erratically.A phone rang and everyone looked around like they didn't know t

What the heck did I just say?! Brain, that's what you'll later result in?! Why did you do this to me?"What?" We all said.Even I said it. I just said something stupid and embarrassing. I could feel Quinnel's eye boring into the side of my head but I didn't have the courage to turn my head to look at him.I just couldn't find it.He then chuckled and I heard him say something to the waitress. She laughed and I raised a brow. Why was she laughing?Quinnel draped his arm lazily over my shoulders before he pulled me to him. I looked at his arm that was radiating warmth into my neck before looking up at him."Yeah, two apple juice." He said his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. My eyes lingered on his Adam apple before I moved my eyes away just when he was about to turn his head.I felt warmth spread through my whole body. I didn't know which one caused the warmth. His arm around my neck or my flushed body from the embarrassment I would have felt if had been caught checking out a boy's Ad

"Good Morning guys!""Good Morning Sir!""Trust you all had a pleasant night rest?"Even I didn't talk. I just want to go back to sleep! Ugh!"Lazy as always." He muttered lowly but I heard him clearly since I was standing in the front and close to him.I slipped my hands into my hoodie pocket just when the elevator dinged as all eyes turned to it and it slid open to reveal two hot guys who knew they were hot and showed it off gladly."Ah! Ashford and Hemple! I was starting to think you won't join us for breakfast." Coach said and I rolled my eyes not even bothering to look over to them again."Of course not, Coach." Zaire replied and I smiled a little bit.I looked up to see Quinnel was busy looking for someone in the crowd. I looked away before he found out someone was looking at him and then he would look to me!"Since you're both here, let's go for breakfast." He said again and Ashley tugged at my arm right when he turned around.Calm down girl, are you really that hungry? I follo

Love and Secrets Epilogue
In the school hallway that led to the auditorium. Students were filing out of the auditorium with shock on their faces. They discussed what they had just heard in twos, threes, groups... Even people that had never talked to each other in their whole lives talked to each other! "I can't believe Amelia would do something like that." "I know right? It's really confusing. She didn't seem to hate Navaeh. She greeted her once in a while." "Exactly. Those you never think would do something are the ones that stab you in the back." "Those that chose to believe Navaeh are really wise." "I know right? The poor girl had to work to cater her siblings need and someone used that against her? How horrible." "But I have to give kudos to Navaeh. I have trouble babysitting my junior brother that is even 10! But she has to take care of her two siblings that are half his age! And they're two!" "Me too! She's really trying." "I pity her. How could a hardworking student be called a slut just like t

"So this is the house where the IP address was tracked to?" Navaeh asked turning to Quinnel who gave me a nod. They were all standing in front of a house that was constructed with wood that had almost fallen unto the house. The woods had been eaten by woodpeckers yet it seemed someone was living in it since there was light in what they presumed to be the kitchen."Ready to find out who it is?" Zaire questioned Navaeh and she nodded her head."We need a plan first. Whoever is in there won't just say they indeed did it, you know?" Ashley asked and Navaeh nodded her head slowly."Okay, Jake and Zaire... You guys should go maybe into the person's room, get the person's phone or a laptop of a sort... Any device the person might have used to post it.""Why?" Jake asked Ashley."We're going to need evidence you know? You can't just barge into the school and say so so is the person that framed our baby. No one would believe you without an evidence. People would think you're desperate to cle

"Who do you guys think did it?" Jake asked looking at Quinnel and Zaire.Zaire looked at Quinnel who shook his head lightly."Maybe we can get a hacker to help us track down the IP address of the poster?" Jake asked and Zaire and Quinnel looked up at him immediately.Presently, they were in the cafeteria with students chatter all over the room. And the word on their lips was about the post.No one. Absolutely no one could guess who posted it. They thought Navaeh was someone loved by the whole school so something like this happening was absurd."IP address?" Zaire asked foolishly and Jake shook his head."Yes. An IP address is your house internet address of a sort. It's like, when you have that number... You already know whose house the internet is coming from. Simple as that. But you can't just randomly find it. Cause the IP address is like the key to your house internet. But, a hacker can access the internet and find someone that posted it by tracking down the IP address. Simple as t

Navaeh's breath was laboured as she scrolled down the article reading it. Her head was muddled yet her brain could process the words she was reading.Her tears had started to choke her threatening to fall off her eyes and roll down her cheeks but she blinked them away and continued reading."Everyone knows the queen diva, right? Navaeh Thatcher. The awesomely straight A student. Her first position has never been threatened not once but not for long.What if I told you, she isn't all she seems? All perfect and all that? What if I told you, it was all a facade? What if I told you her parents neglected her?Not only her... Her siblings included. She has always had to cater for the needs of her siblings all by herself yet she comes to school like all is well.Making so many people jealous of her! It's unfair! She's the one with the wrecked home! She's the two faced one.All of you who call yourselves her friend, have you ever for once been to her house? Met her parents? Have you seen her

"Hey guys!" I called pushing the door to the house open.I had planned with Beatrix the day before to drop my sister's off at our house instead of going to her home.I meant to give them a surprise so I didn't tell them I was coming home even when we talked this morning. So they have no clue and today is Saturday so it's really the best."Did you hear that?" I heard from upstairs and I grinned."Hear what? You keep hearing things." "I'm not hearing things! You're the one with the bad ears.""I don't have a bad ear." "Yeah sure. I'll believe you when it doesn't snow on Christmas.""You know that's impossible.""Exactly. "I shook my head and pushed the door to their room open. Immediately, before I even step in, they shrieked out loud."Help!""A burglar!""I told you I heard something!""Well? This is not the time to argue! And defend your point or whatever it is you're doing! We're about to get burgled or worse, kidnapped!"I rolled my eyes while shaking my head and threw my duffel

Who do I know in New York? No one. Absolutely no one.So imagine my surprise when I hear, "It's really you guys."I'm like, what?! Am I about to be kidnapped by someone who claims to know me? Oh, Quinnel is here to help. But what is he is whisked away as well before he gets to say a word?! Ah! Stop being dramatic!I turned around to come face to face with a brown haired woman beaming with smiles. Directed at us. Woman, I don't know you!I subconsciously gave the woman a once over and nope, I don't know her.I glanced over at Quinnel to see his brow was already raised at the woman's face in confusion.He doesn't know her. Wait, he is supposed to know her. Why won't he know her? Cause I don't know her!So how does she know me?"Were you talking to us?" Quinnel asked and the woman's smile faded."Aren't you... Leo?""Leo?" Quinnel repeated in shock and she nodded her head vigorously.She turned her head to me."And she's...""Not the person you're looking for." I cut her off before s

With an angry sigh, I walked up to them like a jealous girlfriend. God, I feel like a jealous girlfriend! "Hey, Nell." Did you seriously have to use that nickname? Ugh! I'm mentally face palming myself right now. "Hey, Heaven." He greeted with a smug smile that I knew too well. He was going to tease me about it later on. Stupid hunk! I turned my eyes away to the girl that still had a smile on her face. "You must be Heaven. I'm Rose." She said suddenly stretching her hand to me. Though feeling awkward, I accepted her hand with my eyes on Quinnel demanding an explanation. He shrugged in return and I rolled my eyes at him. Never helpful! "Guess I don't need to introduce myself anymore. I'm Heaven." Is that even my name? It's Quinnel that calls me that! "Nice name." "Could say the same about yours as well." I replied with a tight smile. "Well, I guess I'll get going then. See you guys." She greeted waving at us. "Never." I muttered once she was gone out if earshot. Quinnel

After we left the cafe, it was in the evening when Coach said he wanted to show us all something.We obliged and dragged ourselves out of bed, well I did, and trust me while I say this. It was indeed worth it!We stopped when we got to a brightly lit place that was bustling with people despite the fact that it was in the evening.Different companies and shops had their front light on and it wasn't white! It was more like neon colors. Well, it was beautiful.I saw a neon sign of McDonald's. This was a very beautiful place! It would be a waste if we didn't get to see it before we left!"Times Square is a major commercial intersection, tourist destination, entertainment hub, and neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It is formed by the junction of Broadway, Seventh Avenue, and 42nd Street. Together with adjacent Duffy Square, Times Square is a bowtie-shaped space five blocks long between 42nd and 47th Streets.""Brightly lit at all hours by numerous billboards and advertiseme

The song that was playing in the background had changed to Let Me Down Slowly by Alec Benjamin. "How did you guys find us?" I asked before moving the cup of my strawberry smoothie towards my mouth. "He asked." Quinnel replied nudging his chin towards Jake who was looking at the steam of his coffee get off his juice. Then his eyes would follow it until it disappeared before he looked back down at the cup to follow it again. I blinked at him before Quinnel slapped his arm lightly. "Hey, steam boy... You okay?" He asked and Jake blinked at us looking round the table before he nodded slowly. "Yeah, why? And why are you calling me steam boy?" "Uhh... Cause you were using your eyes to follow the steam?" I asked and he smiled at me before his smile fell and he looked down looking all pouty. Ashley sighed rubbing his back. I was about to say something when I saw the pink haired girl stand up. She gathered her load stuffing it in an off white coloured tote bag before she stood properly.
