ELLIE

I found myself waiting for practice to be over, as I couldn't wait to get along with Troy who had shined in the practice like he had promised to. It was quite hard for me to notice anything else in the environment besides him at that point, and that gave me some concern.

“There are just too many of them that you get confused…” Jasmine and her friend Zaya had been conversing about all the hot boys on the school's football team that they fancied.

It was an almost inexhaustible conversation as every single one of them seemed to be such a hotshot. I was wondering why I had never been frequenting that part of school ever since.

At that moment, it almost felt like my eyes were slowly opening to the parts of my life I hadn't been enjoying because of my affair with Aiden. I was almost feeling like a bird set free.

“Here you are…” Troy had me a bit scared as he suddenly poked me with his index on my shoulder, causing me to turn to see him all dressed and ready to go. “Shall we…?” He

    ELLIE“What…?” I tried to play dumb for the first couple of moments, but it was clear that I wouldn't be making it out of that with those cheap tricks. “What are you talking about, Aiden?”“Of course, you know what I'm talking about…” Aiden wasn't going to back down easily as he had seen all of it. He had probably seen everything that night he hid under my bed from his mother. “I saw all those vodka bottles you had stuffed under your bed.”“What vodka bottles…?” I was pushing my luck farther than I was meant to at that point and I wasn't sure what Aiden was going to do in turn as he seemed like he was trying to make something out of the bottles he had seen under my bed. “Don't tell me you've been on something all this while.”I hated the fact that I was having that conversation after such a long day. His mother could be anywhere listening to that conversation. If she happened to find out about my secret habit that would go a long way in changing get perspective of me and she would be

    KAI“Come on man, you've been lying in your bed like that forever…” Kyle, my younger brother, walked into the room to see me in the same way he'd found me when he'd walked in before. I had been lying on my right side, under the covers facing the night sky beyond the windows. Peering into the blackness while thinking about everything and how everything had gone with Ellie and Aiden seemed to be more than enough therapy than I could ever get from anyone. “Don't tell me you're still stressing over that girl?” Kyle said as he sat beside me on the bed. If he had known just how much Ellie meant to me then he would have probably thought twice about referring to her flippantly as ‘that girl’. I said nothing to him as he went on with his pep talk to get me out of the sorry state I was in. Nothing had shaken my confidence as much as Ellie had done. That moment was quite harder than anything I had ever been up against. “You're taking things too far. Do you know just how many girls out there

    AIDEN“What do you want?” I asked, wondering just where Gina was going with all of that. It seemed like just another one of her histrionics to get my attention. “I don't have all night to listen…”“Alright Aiden…” she was stammering like she was having difficulty breathing. “I want… you…”I paused for a moment, took my phone off my ear and looked at the screen to make sure that it had actually been Gina and not someone else. The shrill voice was hers surely, but that didn't sound like something she would do. “Now you're about to lose it, Gina.” I was almost laughing at the fact that she took up her phone at night to tell me that. It was pretty laughable how some time ago, that voice was able to break into my stone-cold heart. She would make me leave home and sneak up into her window with those late-night calls.But that time, it did not affect me. It made me laugh and annoyed me at times. There were just too many things to make me hate her, especially the fact that she had come betw

    GINAIt was almost unbelievable the way things were turning out in my favor. It almost felt like I was in a dream that I wouldn't want to be waking up from anytime soon. Being in Aiden's arms had been like a dream come true for me as I was trying to get myself to enjoy the moment while it lasted. And indeed it seemed like it would be over real soon as Aiden looked like he was in a hurry to get it all over with so he could be free to do whatever he wanted to do with his life.The heat of the pleasure that was building up was quite unbearable as I was trying to catch my breath. His lips crashed on mine like they had done the first time we kissed as a couple.“Aiden…” I was short of words and short of breath as he was doing all of that to me. “Don't say a word…” he said with a wicked, possessive tone that I found appealing somehow. There were just too many impulses ebbing through my body as he said that to me. I grew even more wet, as I could feel the lower part of my dress soak in t

    AIDENThe air of pleasure was slowly clearing from the atmosphere as I was holding the mini camera in my hand. I had been suspecting a setup until the moment I was holding her in my arms. But then, it turned out that suspicions had been right all along. There had really been no deal and was trying to strike among the both of us.“Aiden… I can explain…” Gina was muttering as she was trying to find her dress which I had already torn in the heat of my pleasure. “I wasn't going to do anything with that, I promise….”Those were all hideous lies and I knew that more than anyone. She was probably going to show that to the people she had been deceiving into thinking that we had been in a relationship. Even worse, it could have all been a plot for a scandal that she was going to use against me over and over again.Without saying another word to her, I was soon slipping back into my sweatpants, feeling stupid as I still held the small camera which I wasn't going to return to her any time soon

    ELLIETroy had given me a new reason to look good in the morning. I was staring at myself in the mirror, making sure I was looking my best, with no flaws visible to the eyes. I made sure my long hair was hanging down and was looking its nearest as I imagined the smile that would come on Troy's face after seeing me looking all beautiful and appealing. I was sure he would be proud of having me by his side.In the meantime, I wasn't going to be sneaking into school early to get a few sips of vodka. I feared Troy would see me as absurd if he saw me doing that. I wasn't ready to ruin my first and only chance to get along with someone who loved me and wasn't my stepbrother.“All good…” I said, as I was finally feeling satisfied with all I was seeing in the mirror at that point. “You're ready to slay.”I would go downstairs and sit with them for breakfast, like a normal girl would do. It was time for me to get a bit girly as I was ready for a serious relationship with Troy. I was conscious

    AIDENI kept my eyes peeled for any signs of Kai or Ellie. I hated the fact that I was beginning to get desperate while seeking them. Everything seemed to get on my nerves that morning. After a terrible night's ordeal, I woke up to see that Ellie was beginning to get close to someone else. First, it was Kai, now it is Troy. I was still thinking of ways to come at him as a physical confrontation was the worst option I could opt for. He and his teammates would simply beat the living daylights out of me as they were all football players. At the same time, I was trying to steer clear of Gina's path, as I didn't want to remember anything about the shameful ordeal we had last night. There were a lot of things unsettled in my head about the camera that was still in my drawer up till that moment. I hadn't deleted the footage just yet and that gave me a bit of a concern. “Aiden…” Kai seemed like he was the one who found me first among all my targets. I turned around to face him as he was

    AIDEN“Please… stop…” I turned to see Gina as she walked in on the confrontation which was on the verge of getting quite physical, as I had made it to turn out. The temperatures had been about to flare up to even more unbearable heights and she had suddenly brought them to an all-time low with her interference.“What is it, Gina?” I asked as I was wondering what she had come there to do. “Are you here to take his side again like you did the last time?”“No, Aiden… that's far from it…” it was quite unbelievable the way she still had the boldness to speak after all that had transpired between us the night before. “So, what then?” I was ready with a defensive response for her if she was going to bring up anything about me and last night. I only feared the fact that I wasn't with the camera, as that was my ultimate proof and my ultimate weapon.“You don't have to fuss over that video, Kai. I intentionally filmed a random moment of them just to make you flare up and turn against Aiden

    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
