In the car with Roland, as he drove and the heavy music blasted I leaned my head on the window, lost in thoughts. I felt like I was slowly drifting away from my mom."Hey baby, what do you wanna do? Go shopping first or go to bed eat?" Roland asked, tapping the steering while waiting for the traffic light to turn green."Um...I think let's go shopping first," I replied and he winked at me, "Okay bay," he hit the pedal and zoomed away. We arrived at the shopping mall where I was given his card to use and I got everything that I liked and wanted.After the shopping Spree, we went to get something to eat and then we returned home. On getting out of the mall, Roland decided that I come over to his place and that I agreedAs we got to his house, he decided to take his baths first. As he got into the bathroom, his phone pinged and I picked it up, it was a message and the headline caught me.Luckily his phone wasn't locked and I decided to invade his privacy, my mouth widened in shock as I r
"And what do you mean by holidays?" My mom let out, huffing and folding her arms as she watched me. It seemed like she was deeply surprised. "You guys don't want me here or what? Look I'll just go over to my room and enough of these questions!" Mom and Aiden looked at themselves in surprise as I walked past them. I went back upstairs to my room, as I dropped my small purse on the table a thought entered my head."That's true!" I let out. I picked up my phone to check my account balance. "Would this money be enough for rent or maybe I should just buy it?" I wondered as I stared at the two million dollars sitting prettily in my bank account.I thought about getting myself a house and moving out fully. My phone flashed again, "SIXTEEN MISSED CALLS FROM ROLAND." "Does he want to kill me for goodness sake? If you call twice and there's no response isn't that enough to not call again? But here he is acting like he really cares!" I angrily said.Who in the world said don't search your par
Throughout that day, I never left my room. While Roland called severally but I didn't pick up his call. The following day, I woke up around ten o'clock. I went into the bathroom and quickly took a shower. On coming out of the bathroom, my phone rang and I opened it to check who it was it was Aiden. "What does he want?"I dropped the phone down and he called again, "Hello, Roland!" I said on the phone. "Hello honey, why haven't you been picking up my call? You just left like into the thin air without saying a word. How far was that?"I sighed and kept mute, "Hello, are you there?" he asked and I coughed. "What is wrong baby girl? Are you okay? Is everything okay with you or do I come and pick you up?" He asked and I replied."I am okay, I am at my mother's place. By the way, I am sick and tired of this relationship!" I said. "Why? Is there anything I have done to offend you or have I not been spending enough? Tell me the problem or I come pick you up now?" He replied on the phone and
Two weeks had passed by since my mom last came home. She stayed at the hospital, walking day and night while I stayed at home with Elias and Aiden. I was always in my room, with the door shut and blasting some music through my ears, reading and sleeping.The only time I went out was whenever I wanted to get food. Elias on the other hand, stayed in his room always too while Aiden remained the balcony man. Throughout my stay there, I made sure I limited anything that would lead to an unnecessary conversation, especially with Aiden.One day, I decided to step out of my cave and I went to the living room and sat, switched on the TV. Like a monitoring spirit, Aiden came downstairs and walked quietly, and sat down.My blood boiled, not because he came and sat in the living room but because he sat next to me. "I don't think you should still be here," Aiden let out.I looked away from the screen to his face, my mute remained mute as I returned to watching the TV. "Why are you still here?" Aid
"What are you doing Dad?" Elias asked, "I mean, I am sorry to bump into you but it's urgent and I need you right now!" "Please come now!" Hurriedly I jumped from the bed at the sound of his voice, I was worried, "What's the problem?" I asked and went behind him while he rushed and I followed him hurriedly as he didn't answer me.I had just fear, it shouldn't be."It's Becky!" his voice rang and he ran to Becky's room while I followed with haste. My heart thumped with fear, "What could be wrong?" Opening her door, I saw Becky sprawled on the floor helplessly with her eyes open. My heart shook with fear as I saw her helpless body on the floor. "Quickly, you know how to drive right? Go and start the car while I bring her now!" I commanded, lifting Becky into my arms.With a nod, Elias ran out and came back, "Where's the key?" "Check on top of the table in my room! Oh see hers here, pick it," I said as my eyes met the key on Becky's table.Swooping her off the floor, I carried her in
"Hey Becky," Elias said with a low voice and Elias gave a faint smile at him. "I'm so happy you are fine right now," Elias said and I just sat down Wonder why she was smiling.More like I was expecting a frown from her but it was different. I sat down quietly watching her and Elias talk. I had to wait for more minutes to see if this was the fast-tempered girl I knew."What would you want me to get you to eat?" I spoke to her for the first time since I came in. I knew hunger must have already started to deal with her." Anything at all," she whispered calmly. "Something is wrong. This is not the girl I knew, ever! Maybe a hiss from her or a side eye would do," I screamed in my head as I was so alien to this part of her.Standing up from the chair, I went out of the room and got out to get her food. Getting into the car, I drove to the nearest supermarket, bought some fruits, and got her food with low oil or fatty contents.After buying, I paid for the bills and left for the hospital. A
Becky's POVWalking back into my room, I felt so unusual, like this wasn't me. "Why was I smiling at Aiden that way at the hospital?" I asked myself in amusement."He seems nice, maybe cute on the inside beautiful, or handsome," I whispered to myself as I slowly walked into my room and lay on the bed."He came to save my life? I wouldn't dare if he were the one! I'd rather prefer he rots and dies!" I screamed in my head still in surprise as if Aiden had not been helping me since day one."Forget about Aiden, you don't like him," I concluded in my head then a knock came on the door. "Come in," I muttered, my voice barely audible but the door opened and my mom walked in"How are you baby? I'm sorry I didn't come, see Aiden didn't tell me about it and I usually have. busy schedule st worm. At least I would have squeezed out the chance and come see you. I love you don't think I don't want to see you alive. I know I may not have been a good mother but please, forgive me and I honestly do c
"Why? I made it for you. Drink first, or you don't trust me?" he asked looking at the cup and back at me with a smile on his face."No drink it, I am not drinking it anymore. Have your Coffee, imagine I made that for you as a hate date drink, and drink it," I cooed as passed it on to him.He smiled and took the drink from me with a smile on his face. "Okay," he muttered as he took the cup closer to his mouth. He looked at me and smiled as he gulped down a bit"Here it is, take and drink too" He handed it over to me but I didn't get it from him."That's it, now can you please leave my room? I don't want to see you again," I said, my voice stern this time around.I wasn't feeling comfortable smiling at him again or maybe I just wanted to set my boundaries. Not too many smiles cause too many smiles bring problems.He stood up, with his two hands on his lap, "Okay.."I added, "Take the coffee about with you too," he shook his head obediently and carried the cup outside."I can feel myself
