ELLIE

Who the heck was she? And why was she speaking to Aiden in such an endearing manner? I didn’t know if it was still the booze or just sheer jealousy. But then, why would I be jealous? He was my freaking stepbrother for crying out loud.

“Ellie, just calm down for a second, alright?” Aiden looked like he wasn’t going to back off anytime soon. “What the heck has gotten into you lately?”

“You wanna know what has gotten into me so bad?” I had lost coordination of both my words and my body as well.

“Yeah…” Aiden maintained, still trying to keep his voice down in order not to create a scene right there and then.

“Why don’t you go away, then I might just get better, because the last thing I need right now is having you around me,” I said, not knowing why I was so mad at him.

Seeing that girl still standing beside him was making me even angrier by the second. Why wouldn’t she back away even though she saw that we were arguing? She still stood, staring like she was enjoying the scener

    ELLIEThe three boys were coming at me with hostility in their steps. I couldn't see any way out for me as the fourth person was coming at me as well. Things were about to get even more fucked up as it looked like I was going to get. “There’s nowhere to run sweetheart. It's just us in here.” The ringleader of the boys repeated as they were closing in on me. My first option was to get something to defend myself with. But I just couldn't see anything in sight. It was almost looking like it was just a lost cause. “Come here…” he was closing the distance between us in a quite frightful manner, but I was able to get myself moving through the right spaces in between the rows of seats. Soon enough, my courageous spur of energy was snuffed out by one of the pervs who had closed in on me from the other side. Before I could turn, I felt one of them against my back. “Let go of me…” I let out, as I felt an annoying pair of hands come on my breasts. He squeezed with such voracity, as he was t

    AIDEN“Put her down…! Now!” I let out angrily with a folded fist.Surely, a volcano was about to erupt within me as I watched Ellie being wrapped up in Kai's arms like they were a romantic couple that couldn't get enough of each other.The sight of them being together seemed to spell out the hopelessness of the dream I had of having Ellie to myself. There just wasn't anything that could be more painful at that point. “Aiden, could you just relax so I could explain everything to you?” Kai requested, being totally unaware of the volcano that was brewing up on my insides. “She was in danger and I just happened to be there in time to save her from those goons that tried to forcefully screw her in the basketball court.”Those words did little to water down the anger that nearly ate me up from inside. It felt like she was going to be his for life. There just weren't any words to describe what exactly I was feeling at the moment.I noticed the look in Ellie's eyes, which almost looked like

    ELLIE“We're here…” Kai announced as he looked at me with a smile.My heart knew no peace until Kai pulled the car over in front of the house. It had been a suspense-filled ride, as I had laid flat in the backseat, hoping that we weren't going to get caught by Aiden's mother or even worse get pulled over by the cops.“For real? That was fast…” I let out as I finally sat up in the chair and looked around to make sure I hadn't been taken to the wrong location. “You surely are a delivery guy.”“Well, I just know the quickest ways to get things done,” Kai said as he was in a hurry to get out of the car. He hurried and opened the door for me to head out. “Do you still need me to carry you in my arms?” He asked teasingly. “Maybe…” I wouldn't mind being carried all the way into the bed in my room. My body was longing for that feeling of security that only Kai's arms could give me. “Just one last time…”“Alright then,” he said, with his arms ready to receive my body into them one more time.

    ELLIE“Who could that be…?” I asked, as Kai and I were beginning to scramble out of the bed and the room to know who it could have been. There were just too many things on my mind for me to be able to think of a way out of that predicament.“Oh fuck…” Kai let out as he made for the door. “The car probably got spotted. I have to go now.”“But we don't know who it could be…” I was hoping that it hadn't been Aiden at the door. I knew just how destructive he could get if he saw just me and Kai all alone in the house. “There could be a lot of trouble if it's Aiden.” He had totally read my mind with that statement. “I have to head out through the back while you check out who it is.”“Alright…” I said, as we both hurried out of the room and made our way down the stairs. My heart was racing almost as fast as my feet were. My mind was racing with the thoughts of the worst-case scenarios. The doorbell chimed again and that shot in yet another dose of urgency into my feet as I hoped it wasn't

    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

    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
