More Than Best Friends Chapter One Hundred and Forty Five
Elena rolled over on her bed. It was already another day. Twenty-four hours since she saw Matthew board the plane and go far away from her.She had spent the rest of yesterday crying her eyes out and regretting saying those words she had said to him that she had to get a drink as she usually does whenever she was sad, only that the person who always rescued her, the one who always took care of her when she was drunk, was the main reason why she drank.She groaned loudly and stretched her hands. Her head hurts badly and her stomach was gurgling loudly. She was hungover and felt like throwing up.She stood up from her bed gently, trying not to upset her stomach more. She had drunk more than her usual limit and had no idea how she came back home or how she was able to get inside the house without her mom's knowledge.She was sure that her mom had no idea she was drunk because if she did, she would have come in and asked her questions. Maybe she knows, maybe she knew the reason why she dr

She was right! Her mom had no idea what happened last night how I'm Earth was she to find out what happened? Who was that man who drank with her? "What happened to your face? It wasn't looking this way last night," Clara said, looking at her worriedly. "Nothing. What do you mean it wasn't looking this way last night? Did you see my face last night?" "Didn't I? Oh..by the time I came back from my shift, you were already asleep. Maybe I didn't notice it." "You came home late from your shift last night?" Elena asked, nodding her head as she realized the reason why her mother hasn't had her neck yet. "Yes, why are you acting strange? Didn't you know? You were at home alone till I came back." "Really? Oh...I must still be sleepy, can't remember a thing," Elena said, avoiding her mom's eyes. "Hold on. Come close to me. I smell something," Clara said, raising her brows. "Huh? Oh, mom, I forgot. I need to get something inside the room and I'll be back," Elena said, turning to leave.

Craig stared at his phone while he was eating. It's been two days since he saw Elena last and she hasn't picked up his call or even bothered to come to school.He was starting to get worried about her. Elena might be stubborn and love doing whatever she wants to do but she barely ever missed school.He found it suspicious also that Matthew was not coming to classes ever since the day that he was asked out by Sarah.He knew that there was probably no connection between Matthew's missing classes and Elena's missing classes but what Sarah said to him the other day was still stuck in his head somehow.He kept trying to stop himself from thinking about it but Elena ignoring his calls was not helping matters.He needed to speak to her to confirm by himself what Sarah was saying but at this point, he can only be sure of one thing, Sarah was right about Elena hiding something from him.He stood up from his seat and poured the remaining contents of his plate into the sink. He had lost his appe

He knows her house and he was sure that her mom was going to let him in, what he wasn't sure of, however, was Elena's reaction if he shows up at her doorstep to pick her up.Knowing Elena and her unpredictable mood, she might get mad at him for not calling her before coming to pick her up and might refuse to get in the car with him, resulting in a waste of his own strength and gas.He sighed loudly again and leaned his hand against his chin. What should he do? Should he call her again? If he calls her again and she refuses to pick up his call he would feel so humiliated.But if he doesn't call her and goes up to school without picking her up and he ends up seeing her in school, he might feel guilty.Hold on. What's there to feel guilty about? She was the one at fault. He has been calling her since and she refused to pick up so if there was anyone who was supposed to feel guilty, it was her not him.He stood up immediately. Yes, he had no need to feel guilty about it. Elena was hiding

"What's this about, Sarah? It had better be something worth it because I don't get why you would ask Gaby to leave," Craig said, folding his arms under his chest."Oh, it's something worth it, Craig. So? Have you asked Elena yet? I noticed that you have been avoiding me for the past two days. Why? Is it because of what Elena told you?"Craig rolled his eyes at her. Who does she think she is for him to be avoiding her? He had only been too focused on looking to see if Elena was in school to notice that Sarah had been watching him.What did she mean by him avoiding her because of what Elena told him? Was there really something Elena was supposed to tell him or was she just trying to play mind games with him and make him doubt Elena?"Because of what she told me? What was she supposed to tell me?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at her."She didn't tell you? Well, it's not so surprising. She would rather keep it a secret from you than let you know," Sarah said, shrugging."You know what?

He had told himself, "Why didn't he thinks of it first? Why did he allow Matthew to gain a point ahead of him?"Now he no longer has any problem with that. Matthew was gone and would no longer be in his relationship with Elena.If Elena dated Matthew, which was unlikely judging the way she always treated him, then it was a thing of the past. Matthew was now a thing of the past to him.His main focus right now was on strengthening his relationship with Elena and caring for her."What do you mean? I get that you don't want to be told anything and I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to try and protect you from getting hurt and to let you know what type of person you were dating."" You knew exactly what you wanted when you called that's why you excused Gaby, knowing she won't support your gossip. So stop acting like you had pure intentions. You of all people should know that doesn't work on me." Craig said disgustedly." If you don't do anything now, Matthew would steal your girlfriend and you

"Elena," Craig called as she walked past him without looking at him, "Elena?"She turned to face him, her face blanks and her eyes swollen. She looked really tired and exhausted like someone who had put up an all-nighter."Oh, Craig... I didn't see you. How are you doing?" She asked, staring at him blankly."I'm good," Craig said, looking at her confused.Why was she behaving like they have been seeing each other as if nothing had happened during these past two days?She literally ghosted him for two, no that's not right, three days and she was here acting as if nothing happened.Why was she looking like she was the victim? She looked like she had been ignored by him. Her eyes were so swollen and red like she had been crying for a while.No way! They were close friends but she wouldn't behave this extremely because of Matthew, would she? She couldn't have been crying for the past two days because Matthew left the school without telling her."Good," She said quietly and turned to leave

Darn it! He just never gives up, does he? Here he was thinking of using his team and coach as an excuse to escape playing for the volleyball team only for Jeremy to ask his coach for permission in his absence."He did? Why on Earth would you ask him that in my absence? He might think that I sent you to buy myself some free time and then give me an earful when I see him," Craig lied, rolling his eyes at Jeremy."I'm sorry. I didn't think of that. We'll get it sorted out later. So? What do you say? You'll play for us, right? For the school?" He asked, raising his voice."Craig is gonna play for the volleyball team? Really?" One student asked, looking at him astonished."Guys, Craig is gonna play for the volleyball team this weekend. Who wants to watch him?" A friend of Jeremy's said, attracting the attention of other students."Guys, listen, I haven't decided yet if I would play or...." Craig started to say but was interrupted but the students praising him for trying to bring honor to t

After a while, he turned to everyone in the class and wore a fake smile.“We will have to end today’s class here,” he said, and walking out of the class or rushing out of the class would be better. Dani flung her bag over her shoulders as she attempted to rush outside but someone blocked her way.“Hey Dani,” the guy said with a small smile and Dani sighed.“How may I help you, Adrian?” Dani asked and the guy smile.“Today is John’s birthday so we made a small party for him and invited a few people, I was wondering if you wanted to come,” Adrian said and Dani scoffed.

Damien wiped his sweaty hands on his jeans as he drove into the garage. He turned off the car and sighed.“Are you that anxious to meet my mom?” Dani asked as Rai burst into laughter.“I’m not anxious just careful” Damien replied with a smile as they got out of the car.“Careful my feet” Dani sneered as she burst into laughter. Ria smiled at Damien as she took his hand.“Don’t mind Dani, my mom is not that scary” Ria said and Damien laughed.“I know right,” Damien said as they walked into the house.“Mom, good evening,” Ria said as she pecked her home.“I see you brought a friend,” Mrs. Mahmata asked with a small smile.“Yes,” Ria said with a smile.“Mom, this is my boyfriend, Damien. Damien, this is my mom” Ria said as Damien debated on which expression he was supposed to make. He ended up making a weird expression as he greeted Mrs. Mahamta.“Good evening ma’am” Damien greeted as Mrs. Mahmata narrowed her eyes at him. Damien could feel the sweat running down his back as Mrs. Mahmata

Ria twirled her pen as she turned to Damien “I was waiting for you to come back that’s why I haven’t filled out my application yet” Ria confessed.“Jason told me you hadn’t so I didn’t even collect my form yet,” Damien said and Ria smiled.“We think alike too much” Ria cooed and Damien pecked her before tapping her nose.“So which uni are you doing?” Damien asked and Ria shrugged.“I was about to ask you” Ria replied and Damien wriggled his eyebrows at Ria.“I’ll go anywhere you go” Damien replied and Ria chuckled as she opened her phone and scrolled through the list of universities.“What do you think about TAS?” Ria asked and Damien shrugged his shoulders.“Anywhere you want to go baby” Damien replied as Ria shook her head.“Bristol Univeristy then,” Ria said and Damien shrugged. They both brought out their forms and started filling them out. Damien filled his form with his right hand as his hands found Ria’s skirt. His hands went inside her skirt and Ria sucked in a breath as she

“It’s everywhere on the school forum,” Ava said as she scrolled her phone.Damien shrugged his shoulders as Ria fed him a fry “You know how active the school forum had become since Hazel became the president” Damien said and the girls burst into laughter.“Arianna Mahmata!” Zara yelled as she stormed into the cafeteria startling everyone. Ria frowned upon seeing Zara and Penny.“How shameless will you become? You stepped down from being the captain as if you wouldn’t do anything. What the hell did you tell the cheerleaders?” Zara asked as Ria slowly rose to her feet.“Shameless?” Ria asked as she stepped out of her seat.“If anyone should be asked who is shameless I think it should be the both of you. I thought you guys were my friends yet all along I was called a snake and a viper by my friends. I gave everything and did all a friend does and gives to her friend as a friend, I helped you every way I could but what did you guys do? You stabbed me in the back neatly” Ria said as she tu

Ria was the first to get to school the next day. She smiled sweetly at Ava who started clicking pictures of her immediately.“Girl you are glowing” Ava exclaimed and Ria laughed.“Is it because he asked you to marry him yesterday?” Ava asked with a smile and Ria’s smile grew wider.“Maybe, who knows?” Ria asked as they sat down.“Where’s Janet?” Ria asked as Ava scoffed.“She’s like you. if you can’t find her, you won’t see Jason” Ava replied and Ria laughed.Ria raised her head when she saw a shadow fall over her and she snickered seeing Gabriel. As Ria had said, his popularity had hit rock bottom after that day, his friends stopped talking to him, and he was also benched by the soccer team. If he didn’t play in any matches soon; it would really be hard for in to get into a soccer school and talk less of a top-notch one.He had no option but to seek out Ria again. They definitely had to date again even if it was for show. Gabriel gave Ria a small smile as Ria glared at him.“What do

Ria held Damien’s hand as they walked out of the old house. Ria took one last look at the house as they walked outside the house. Ria looked around and was surprised at the number of black cars in front of them.She easily recognized the dragon tattoo on the cars as the same one on Damien’s stomach. She allowed Damien to pull her towards one of the cars and the window was slowly wounded down.“Is it all taken care of?” a voice asked in the car and Damien nodded.“Yes, boss” Damien replied.“Hmmmmm,” the voice said.“Thanks, boss” Damien said his voice solemn.“Take care of yourself, Damien,” the voice said as the glass went up and the cars sped out of sight.“Who were those?” Ria asked and Damien smiled at her.“People you don’t need to pay attention to,” Damien said as he led Ria to the car and he drove off. Damien couldn’t express how he was feeling. He didn’t feel free, he was just calm and he tightened his grip on Ria’s hands as he drove toward his apartment.He had her beside him

Damien rubbed Ria’s back comfortingly as he pulled her along and walked after the burly men. Ria watched as they led them to another part of the fighting ring.The area was surprisingly well-lighted and bright. There were rows of burly men with weapons making Ria latch herself to Damien.“He’s inside,” One of them said as Damien pushed the door opened and stepped inside the room.It was a large spacious office and there was a fan rolling as Damien and Ria stepped into the room. Three men were seated on the sofa in the middle of the office.“Damien, have your seat,” one of them said with a smile and Damien sat down and pulled Ria with him.“Mr. Lee, I have fulfilled our part of the agreement. I have as well also repaid my father’s debt. Isn’t it time to let me go?” Damien asked calmly as one of the men laughed.“It’s hard to let one of our strongest fighters go just like that,” he said and Ria frowned as she looked at the man disgustingly.“Just like that? Viper, I fought for a year” D

Ria watched calmly as Damien wore his gloves. She had watched Damien fight two times after the first time he brought her to the underground ring and she knew how good he was. But considering that after today he wasn’t going to be fighting again; Ria felt weird about it.She knew these people weren’t going to let him go just like that but Damien had assured her that he was going to be fine so she couldn’t do anything about it. She could only pray in her mind.“Don’t look like that, I’ll really be fine” Damien said and Ria nodded as she dropped a small peck on his lips.Damien tapped her nose as they walked out of the room. Everyone was yelling at top of their voices. He walked into the ring and raised his hands at the referee who checked him and Damien turned to his opponent. It was a young man who was a few years older than him. Merely looking at him, Damien knew he was the real deal. He chuckled lightly; these people had finally pushed him to the wall.He walked at Ria who was lookin
