AIDEN

“I told you never to show up here again. What the heck are you doing here?” My anger amplified with each passing moment, at the sight of Sherry standing right there.

I had snuck out of school so I could come to see Ellie and make things right with her, only to be met by one of the stumbling blocks of my past… a couple of months.

There had been some other stumbling blocks, but I was trying my very best to get myself away from them. It was just one of the many habits that I was trying to get over as soon as possible. But now it was starting to become my downfall.

I was trying to leave my old playboy ways, but it was now coming after me in ways unimaginable. It was going to be hard getting Ellie to be quiet about it in the current state of things between us.

“Aiden, I'm really sorry that I was harsh towards your sister… I just couldn't bear the thought of seeing you with someone else.” the way Sherry muttered those words like we were some sort of couple was rather annoying. “Ple

    AIDEN“I’m almost there, alright?” I said on the phone, as I was walking through the neighborhood where the weekend party was happening. One of the biggest kids in the school was holding a birthday party and had been anxious to have me over there. Ellie was almost not talking to me at all ever since the last kiss we’d had. The house was suddenly the most uncomfortable place for me to be. I was almost trying to get as far away from the house as I could. I was tired of being in the same house with the cause of my pain. But then, I still had my eyes on Kai. I hadn’t seen him getting closer to her in recent times. Even at that, I was still sure that they could have possibly set up a couple of secret meetings in school. The thought of it all had me drawing closer to the brink of losing my mind.Hence that night was very necessary for me to get a lot of things off my head. I wanted to get wasted and get out of my present predicament, even for a couple of hours before coming back to face i

    ELLIE“Are you sure about this?” I asked again, feeling unsure of the sudden decision to hop in on the party. But then, there were just a lot of things that made me want to stay. One of them being the free liquor.“Trust me, Ellie. I'm here with you, alright?” Kai reassured me. He had been able to sneak me out of my room through the window to get me there. That turned out to be the outcome of the back-and-forth texting we had been doing in the last couple of hours. I was beginning to get quite used to having Kai around and I wondered if that was a good thing or not.I had told him that I had been feeling a bit down and that I needed some company. The news of my mother's release had me doing all sorts of odd things to get away from the harsh reality that awaited me. And that party happened to be one of them, even though Kai was taking it as some sort of outing for us to bond. All those secret thoughts I kept to myself were bound to keep me from enjoying the moment like I was meant to

    AIDEN“Whoa…” the whole room went.My heart was thumping rapidly as I was watching the one thing I had been expecting the least. It felt like I was watching something that they had been rehearsing for a while before making an open show of it there in front of everyone.Kai was obviously having the time of his life as he was about to almost swallow Ellie with his kiss. For some reason, they looked like they would end up making out in front of everyone as Kai's hands went down from her face to more interesting places, of which the first was her neck. He held her like he was choking her while making passionate love to her. Then Ellie let out a slight moan and that ticked off the time bomb that was within me. There were a lot of things that could go wrong at that point as his hand was almost going down to grip her breast.He looked like he was about to ingest her whole. But for some reason, Ellie slowly pushed away from him. That reason had most probably been me. She barely raised her

    ELLIEThe morning came with light that made me feel quite weak. The night had passed by in a flash and had given way to the weekend. I didn't feel the need to get up from my bed after everything that had happened back then.I was weakened by the happenings of the night, and by the news of my mother's return, and by everything… I looked over to my bedside to reach for my phone to see that Kai had been trying to reach me. The strength to return his calls was just simply lacking as I felt the need to be alone for the time being, and beyond. He had sent texts but I just didn't feel like replying to any of them. I just didn't feel like doing anything that would involve me having to talk to someone. Deep down, I couldn't tell just why I had been so hurt about seeing Aiden with that girl from last night. That had me thinking what exactly was going to become of things between us. It was going to be weird living in that house with him for a while. That had me seriously contemplating moving

    KAI“What the heck are you trying to say?” I was sure that he was back to smoking pot as that could have been the most rational explanation for his sudden change of character which was quite questionable.At some point, I was waiting for him to tell me that he had been bluffing all that time. But nothing like that seemed to be happening any time soon. His eyes were burning with an intense anger which I hadn't seen in a while.“I said what I just said.” Aiden seemed really serious. “It's time you take your eyes and your mind off of my stepsister, and I really mean that.”For a couple of moments, I stared blankly at him as I almost couldn't believe the words reaching my ears at that point. “Tell me you're messing with me right now.” I was starting to suspect he had something to do with Ellie not replying to my texts and my phone calls. Had he threatened her the same way he was doing to me? He could have poisoned her mind about me as well. “You're kidding, right?”“Do I have a fucking c

    ELLIE“No…” I said, but my body was spelling yes to him in capital letters. That had me feeling quite low as I was compromising on my vague standards which were suddenly evaporating in the heat of the moment. “Aiden…” I meant to call out his name for him to stop, but it ended up coming out with a seductive tone that spurred him further into action. He slammed the door behind him and turned to lock it before he lifted me into his arms with seamless effort. There just weren't any words that could describe how I felt as he carried me to the bed. He was soon on top of me, taking my breath away with those kisses that had me breathless. I couldn't refuse any of his gestures as he came at me with full intensity, irresistible to any female alive. He was about to get really wild with it as he pulled away for a moment to yank off the shirt he had on. It was quite a feeling to be remembered when my hands went up his chest and his almost flawless abdominals. He seemed to enjoy the feel of my

    ELLIEThe weekend made me feel a bit refreshed and rejuvenated— especially because of what Aiden and I had over the weekend. He eventually snuck up to my room yet again and made me explode twice as fast. I still didn't have the words for what both of us were to each other, but then, I was sure that we did have feelings for each other. There were just too many emotions involved for me to try ruining it by asking those serious questions that would ruin everything.Aiden had slowly become a coping mechanism that helped me get my mind off the disheartening news of my mother which had weakened me for the past couple of days. But he had suddenly filled me with a new feeling of life that made me feel strong enough to face everything. I didn't need a mirror to tell me just how beautiful the smile I had on my face was. I took out my phone and dialed Aiden who happened to have placed a bet with me that he would be in school before me. Those fifty bucks we had placed on the bet would go quite

    ELLIE“I thought that was your locker…” Aiden's words couldn't make me feel better about what looked like a setup to meet with Kai. He pointed at some locker far away from mine, having a look of disappointment on his face as he was trying to explain himself in vain.“What did you do to him?” I questioned angrily as I stared at the person whom I had just been head over heels for, just a couple of moments ago. “What did you do to Kai?”That question had been burning in my head throughout the classes. I had been unable to understand why Kai suddenly loathed me like I was the reason for all of his pain. I had screwed up big time by blatantly ignoring his calls and texts throughout the weekend and I was ready to own up to that. But then, he said something about me and Aiden doing something to him and that made me curious to learn what Aiden has done.“Speak up…!” I said impatiently with my arms folded across my chest. He was finding it hard to speak up with all the pressure I was putting

    ELLIE "Kai, what do you mean you're here to take me out?" I asked, trying to hide the confusion and surprise in my voice. I could feel my heart beating faster, not because of excitement, but because I knew this visit wasn't going to end well. "I'm serious, Ellie. I mean every word I said, I want to take you out," Kai replied, his smile widening, reaching his eyes. "I wanted to spend some time with you. Just the two of us. Away from everyone else." I crossed my arms, trying to appear nonchalant. I didn't know what to say or do. As Kai spoke, my eyes didn't leave the door, as I was afraid Aiden might walk through it. I hated these kinds of visits. "Kai, this is unexpected. You should've called first." I swallowed. "I'm sorry for that, I know," the blue-eyed guy apologized, covering the space between us, "But I needed to see you. In person. And to be honest, I didn't want to give you a chance to say no over the phone." I sighed, glancing around the room as though searching for an

    AIDEN It felt like my heart was going to be right out of my chest as I was seeing my tears happening right before my eyes. The phone in my hand grew shaky even though I was still filming the scenery of my mother's betrayal of Ellie's father who had probably trusted her enough to leave her all that time to go handle business somewhere else. Regardless of what I felt while watching my mother kissing another man who fortunately wasn't the cocky Dylan who had tried to have a go at Ellie. But it was still as painful as the betrayal that it was. I didn't know what it was that had me feeling just as hurt as the one who was being cheated on. There just weren't any words for the pain in my heart. With total disregard for repercussions and consequences, I drove the car right to where the car which my mother had been parked. I was speeding like I wanted to hit it from behind. There were just too many things that made me feel like I was about to create the biggest scene ever. The tires

    AIDEN There was nothing cinematic about the moment as Ellie had remarked over the phone. The pressure of the moment was simply palpable on me as it was all feeling like I was going to get caught or I was going to catch my mother doing something that wouldn't leave my head in a while. For the past couple of moments, I had been following her from behind from the safest distance possible. There had been a few times when I had been close to losing them in the Manhattan traffic, but I managed to stay on track somehow and that had been something to be proud of as I was simply too good at that. Every single moment had me recalling back when I had been following Ellie and Troy. The heat of my jealousy back then had simply been over the limits and that had me feeling like I had been some hopeless stalker, not knowing that ability would come in handy in an even more important predicament. “Please don't be Dylan…” I had lost count of how many times I had muttered those words to myself and

    ELLIE "I just hit the road now, and I'm hot on her tracks as we speak," Aiden said through the phone as though he was in the middle of a theft where he was being pursued by a troop of cop cars. "The target vehicle is in view as we speak." "You are sounding like some secret agent right now…" I teased from my end of the line even though the situation was quite a serious one which would tell him all he needed to know about his mother's deeds. "You can say that again. I'm giving her as much space as I can. I just want to see where this car goes from here." "Are you sure this would work?" I asked, still wondering if it was worth it after he had seen some other women like her. I felt like he would be going on a wild goose chase if he would insist on following her to where she was going. "What if you get caught?" "Ellie I followed you to Troy's house one time and you didn't…" Aiden took hold of himself at once as he just realized that he had given himself away with that misplaced stat

    AIDENA new day had come and I wasn't sure of the plan that I had in mind as I was soon trying to get myself ready to face my mother who had been the reason for my fallen mood. It was quite annoying and embarrassing that my suspicions were looking to be true at that point, even after all the drama she had used in trying to get away the last time. As I walked down the stairs, to head for the court at the back, I had my eyes open and ready for any signs of my mother. I could almost tell how it would all end if I dared to confront her upfront. There was simply no means of telling that she had been on the phone with some guy named Dylan to whom she had confessed love. That would lead me to defeat all over again. I would possibly have to apologize when she was the one who was at fault. That was one of the worst predicaments for me. "Be smart…" I said to myself as I was simply trying my best to keep it all cool and calm as I had the ball in my hands ready to take out all of the mixed fe

    KAIThey were up to something. I just knew it but I just couldn't prove it. That was the main source of my frustration as I held that ball in my hands while I was still trying my best not to take my focus off the ball and the hoop which was the only thing that I could control at that point..But it was hard not to think of Aiden having a good time with Ellie. There were just too many things on my mind as I was trying not to think of anything that had to do with Aiden and that one girl that wouldn't leave my mind. "Ugh…" it was all feeling like I was stuck in some sort of cycle that just wouldn't end. The cycle always began with the sight of Aiden and his so-called sister whom he claimed not to be screwing. After seeing them, the thoughts would just stick in my head and I would need basketball to get it off my head.I sank the shot, but I still wasn't feeling the satisfaction that I used to get from the sport before it became a means for me to get my mind off Ellie. The only thing tha

    AIDEN"I think your mother is seeing someone else…" Ellie said with such a sad look on her face.At first, I had been relieved that it hadn't been the news of my scuffle with Gina. But then, I was even more troubled by the fact that a suspicion that I had allowed to fallow when it had caused a lot of trouble the first time, was now popping up from a source that wasn't me. That aroused all my suspicions which had been buried beneath the layers of my conscience. I had swallowed them up the leg time because of my mother who had been hurt by it. But it was all popping out again. There were a lot of things that had me feeling like I was getting to the bottom of the whole thing that had taken place in that awkward weekend which had happened in almost a blur.The memory of the texts was coming back to my head. The words and the emotions that seemed to have been behind them when they had been sent. There was no way that moment couldn't stay etched in my mind which seemed to be susceptible to

    AIDENThere was a rush in my very being as I was trying to make sure that I could get to Ellie before the news of me and Gina would get to her. It felt like my rush would all end up being in vain as I was trying not to let it all get to me. At that point, I was beginning to rehearse the words I would use in explaining myself, just in case it turned out that I hadn't been quick enough. I was almost pulling over like I had robbed a bank. I just hoped I wouldn't be asked too many questions about that as all of that was beginning to make me lose my cool. I was willing to do anything to make that save happen.There wasn't any time to look back as I got out of the car and made my way to the front door which I opened with my key, as I felt like knocking would only go on to waste the little time I had even more."What's all this about?" Mother asked as she was thinking of what could have been making me run like there was some fire I was trying to put out somewhere. "What's gotten into you?"

    SANDRA"How dare she?" I muttered to myself as I realized that she had hung up on me yet again as she was making a show of her youthful arrogance. Everything about her seemed to remind me of her father, and it was simply annoying that all I could do was stay behind those bars all day and all night while complaining about how miserable being in there had been for me. The thoughts of her father brought me pain, shame, and regret, and that was exactly what came to mind each time I thought of Ellie. That had been why I had gotten so ticked off when she pointed out that I always took it out on her. It was hard for me to think straight at that point.Right there at that moment, I was feeling the pain that came with all of the memories which I had been suppressing all that time. It felt like the canister that had been holding it all together had been popped open by the way that my daughter had spoken to me. I just couldn't wait to get out of there and come teach her a lesson. Ellie had gro
