As soon as I got to my room, I slammed the door shut and made my way to the bed. I placed the box gently on my bed and went into my closet to take off my clothes, after which I had a hot bath in the tub. Once I was clean to my satisfaction, I got out of the tub and reached out for my towel hanging on the wall mounted towel rack. I wrapped the towel around my body and made my way back into the bedroom and then to the closet. I took out a pair of camisole and pink shorts which I put on immediately and left the closet. I blow-dried my wet hair and wore a bonnet over it after combing it.
I made my way back to the bed and sat down, I took the box from beside me and placed it gently on my lap. I was about opening it when I heard my mum's call.
"Coming mum!" I yelled back and stood up immediately. I took the box along with me and placed it on my desk before making my way out of the room and down the hall,towards the stairs. I climbed down the
After a lot of insults and persuasion from Hailey, I finally decided to change my outfit. I fixed myself up before we both left for the living room where my mum sat with her phone in hand as she typed freely."Hey mum, I'm going shopping with Hailey" I informed her as soon as we approached her."Okay sweetie, have fun" She said without looking away from the device in her hand. Whatever she was doing has clearly taken over her that she didn't bother looking up at us.We both walked past her and made our way out of the house. Once we got to Hailey's car, I sat at the passengers seat while she sat at the drivers and turned on the engine of the vehicle.In no time,we were already driving down the road in high speed."So,what about Aiden. How's things going between the both of you?" She asked with her eyes fixed on the road."We're good" I simply said.
"Hey Nana" I said immediately I picked up the call."Hello sweetie,are you home?" Came her cheerful voice from the other end."Yeah,any problem?" I asked as it was rare to have Nana call me."Can you come over, I'm feeling quite lonely and Aiden isn't home" She told me."Aiden isn't home? Where did he go to?" I asked immediately."I don't know dear,he got up this morning and left,he didn't tell me where he was going to" She said to me."Oh" I said quietly. I haven't spoken to Aiden or seen him since that day at the lake. It's been four days now and I do miss him."Can you come over?" She asked once she noticed my silence."Yeah, I'll be with you shortly" I managed to say."Oh thanks darling, I'm waiting" She said in excitement."Okay Nana" I said and ended the call. I got up f
Aiden's POVI pulled off my t-shirt, leaving only my pants as I made my way towards the toilet. I was about entering the toilet when I heard a knock on the door."Come in" I said immediately and the door pulled open. To my surprise, I saw Liv standing by the door."Hi" She stood there with a shy smile on her face."Hi" I stared blankly at her. Oh God I missed her this past few days but my ego didn't let me talk to her or visit her."Can I come in?" She asked shyly."Of course" I said and watched her come further into the room as she locked the door behind her."Can we talk?" She asked once she was standing only few inches away from me while fidgeting with her fingers."Sure" I hung my t-shirt on the door of my toilet before making my way to the bed. I sat down on the bed and then patted the spot beside me in ges
"Alex?" I said after taking a deep breath to collect my thoughts and make sure it's not a dream."Can we talk please" He sounded different."What for?" My anger rose immediately."Please, I'm outside" He said calmly."Outside where?" I rolled my eyes."Your house" I almost laughed."How much did you drink tonight Alex? We both know that I'm in New York" I stifled a laugh."Come outside, I'm at your door" He said in a serious tone."You're drunk Alex, I'm in New.... Hello?" I pulled the phone from my ear, only to find out that he had ended the call.Yup, still a jerk.I dropped the phone on the nightstand and lied down on the bed collecting my thoughts.Why did he just call me after all these weeks. I kept calling and texting him all this while but he never
"What did my mum do?" For some unknown reason, I felt my anger rise immediately."It was back then in California, before your birthday, she paid me a visit" *****Flash back*****Alex's POV"Hello Alex" She said with her charming smile still on her face. Liv really looks like her mom. So elegant and beautiful."Hi Ma'am... Um... My mum isn't home and my dad is also out" I informed her."Oh that's okay Alex, I'm not here to see your mum, I'm here to see you" She smiled."Me?" I was surprised."Yes, you... Can I come in?" She smiled brightly at me. Something about her sudden visit makes me uneasy."Yeah" I stepped back for her to come in. I closed the door shut before leading her to the living area where Blake was seated.
"Aiden I...." I pulled away from Alex immediately as I stood there like someone who was just caught cheating. I stared at the boy standing few meters away from me and I could see the look he had on his face. It wasn't a pleasant one."Who's he?" Aiden asked as he approach us, taking each step carefully."He's...." Alex cut me off before I could even form a presentable sentence."I'm her boyfriend so I should be the one asking you that" Alex said with a scowl on his face as he stood in front of me, blocking any chances of Aiden's further approach towards me."You have a boyfriend?" Aiden ignored the warning sign Alex was giving him as he moved further to my direction."Aiden it's not what you think,we....""Not what he thinks? Who cares bout what the fuck he thinks,Man who the hell is this dude!" Alex was stepping on Aiden's nerves and I could see it."Hey you watch your asshole mouth I'm talking to her not you" The look on Aiden
I was pulled after from him before I could even register what was happening. I stood there frozen in my spot with a blank head. It took me a while to recover from what just happened and that's when it registered on me.Once I was back to my normal state, I stared over at Aiden who was no longer standing on his two feet but was lying helplessly on the floor with Alex on top of him, throwing several punches non stop at him. I couldn't move, I couldn't say anything. I couldn't bring myself to say anything. I was still in shock.Aiden was making lame attempts at punching Alex whereas Alex was doing that which he promised to do. He was hitting Aiden's head profusely on the floor. He punched his face and stomach continuously without mercy. If he wasn't stopped immediately, he'll actually keep to his promise of murdering Aiden.It was a bitch ass thing for Aiden to do by kissing someone's girlfriend right in front of him. But I
"Is she awake?" I heard voices from my background."I think she is, don't know for sure" A familiar voice said."Doctor how's she doing please?" Another desperate voice asked."Will you shut your damn mouth and let him do his job" The voice I recognized to be Alex's,spoke."Hey man, I'm sueing you don't forget it" I recognized this to be Aiden's voice."Fuck off already, haven't you had enough?what are you even still doing here" Alex yelled at Aiden I suppose."One more word from both of you and I'm kicking you out of my house" I recognized my Dad's voice."She's conscious" An unfamiliar voice said as I pulled open my eyes slowly."W.. what happened?"Are my first words as soon as my eyes fly open to see a room filled with my parents,Hailey,Elsa,quite a shock. Alex,Aiden and someone in uniform who seems to be a doctor.
