KAI

Things had gone sour between my brother and me, and that made the house full of dead air as we hadn't said a single word to each other ever since we got back from school.

While shooting and rebounding all by myself, I was reflecting on the short episode that had happened between me and Ellie after school that day. I felt bad that I hadn't approached her properly and I felt terrible for that.

I was still all about finding out what was happening between Ellie and her brother. But then, I didn't want her getting hurt because of me.

That made me stop to pick up the phone and try reaching her.

AIDEN

There weren't any words to describe the kind of silence that haunted the drive home. It was almost feeling like someone had died but then, it was just Ellie in the backseat of the car.

I drove carefully and slowly so I wouldn't cause her body to roll away from the seat, and at the same time, I was trying to steer clear of the authorities as that would bring a lot more attention tha

    AIDEN“What the heck…?” I was ashamed at the fact that Ian had been the one who had gone in first and not me. That made it all absurd that a stranger had been the one to witness their shame before me. There were just too many things that had me feeling like I was about to be put under fire for what had just happened. But then, it hadn't been my fault that they were having it in my room. What in the world had happened to their room? I wondered. They had probably been thinking that they had the whole house to themselves. That had been quite a costly assumption for them to have made. “Come on… let's go upstairs…” I said, pulling Ian out with one hand while keeping Ellie on my shoulder with the other. I felt bad that he was still there watching them. Good thing for them that they were under the covers.At once, I was well on my way up the stairs, still with Ellie on my shoulder. It was quite hard to have her stay on my shoulder for all that time. There were a lot of thoughts going thro

    AIDEN“Alright…” I said with a sigh as I had my hands up. “Before you judge me, just realize that I wasn't expecting that unexpected encounter just like you both weren't. I was thinking that I would be at the party for a while…”“What happened, then?” She asked with a sigh as she looked embarrassed. My mother was usually the shy type, and that had me wondering just how much she could have been begging the bed to swallow her while she was on it. The shame was simply unbearable and I was sure that could have been why Ellie's dad stayed inside and wouldn't come out for even a second. It was such a demeaning moment for all of us. I wanted to make a smooth entry but ended up getting busted in the process. “The thing is…” I went over the lie I had been rehearsing in my head as I was trying to make peace without getting Ellie in trouble at the same time. “When I got into the party, I saw that Ellie was drunk already and I had to get her home as soon as I could.”I knew that story wasn't go

    ELLIEThere were no words to explain what I felt as my eyelids cracked open for me to see the ceiling of my room. I had been lying the same way I had been when I had passed out after the familiar stranger had saved me from the dealer. I had been expecting to have been left for dead out there in the woods under the tree with no one to help me out. But there I was, under the roof where I lived. Just when I was about to try sitting up in bed, the door went open with Aiden coming through it. He had a tray in his hand which he was nearly dropping from the shock of seeing me awake. It almost felt like he hadn't been expecting to see me awake by that time. I glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table not too far away from me. There were a lot of things that had me feeling like he had everything to do with how I had ended up there. “Ellie…” he quickly got in and shut the door behind him like he didn't want anyone to know that I was in there. He hurried to the table where he kept the

    ELLIEI woke up after a while after I had taken the medications and freshened up. I had missed that day at school and I was quite sure that I was left all alone in the house. Aiden surely wouldn't miss school or practice for anything at all. Jasmine was bound to be worried sick about me, as she had called me a lot of times and I hadn't picked up at all. I just wasn't in the mood to take any calls at that time. I didn't know what it was about that moment that had me desiring to be alone with either the right person or all alone completely. But then, there was no way to tell who that right person was exactly. I was confused and I didn't know just when that unbearable uncertainty would come to an end. A part of me believed that it was all part of the repercussions of the poisoned booze that the dealer had given me. I still couldn't believe that I had been so close to being victimized. It was the most uncomfortable thought, having to imagine myself getting plowed by that bastard. It

    ELLIEIt almost felt like I was about to have a brand new start as I was waking up the next day. I had to admit it was weird waking up next to Aiden— weird but great. Who wouldn't want to wake up to that charming pair of eyes that could lighten up any heart with just a glance? He was still asleep when I woke up. Had he forgotten that we still had school that day? He was usually up, shooting at the hoop by that time of the day, but he had sacrificed it all to be there with me. That made me feel loved in a way— a feeling I had been estranged from for a long while. “Rise and shine, sleepyhead…” I mused as I put my head in his chest. There were just too many things that made me feel like that moment could go on forever. But then, I recalled that my forever could be cut short by the presence of our parents who could come in at any time and bust us right in the act. That would surely be an absurd end for our love ballad, and that had me sitting up in bed and trying to shake Aiden from h

    KAI“She's not in school again…” Jasmine said to me with a voice full of regret and that had me weakened. There were a lot of things that made me feel like something wasn't right. “What about Aiden?” I recalled that I hadn't seen him in practice yesterday and that he hadn't been in class for most of yesterday. “Is he in school today?” My suspicions had been heightening ever since as I just couldn't understand why both of them had been absent the day before. “He's not in school either…” Jasmine said as she was about to get going. “I'll be swinging by her house to check on her. It's got to be something really serious. She hasn't been answering any of my calls at all. That's very unlike her.”“Indeed….” I couldn't agree any further as I had also been a victim of her unanswered calls which were hard to tolerate. It felt like I was some sort of wrong number trying to reach her. “Maybe I would pay her a visit as well as that's the only way that we could find out what's happening.”“Yeah…

    ELLIE“Who could be at the door?” Aiden asked as he was soon about to get up from the bed and slip into his clothes which had been all over my room. He seemed quite angry from the interruptions that had hampered our time together. “Are you going to get yourself so worked up over some unexpected visitor…?” I asked as I walked up to him and kissed him one more time before we headed back down to the door. “By the time we're done with the visitors, then we can get back to our action…”“Sure…” Aiden said as he kissed me while grabbing my ass hungrily. “So, who's going to get the door? I don't want anyone suspecting that we are up to anything.”“Right…” I said as I wondered if I would head down and get the door. The sound of the doorbell had my mind going many places at once and it made me feel even more tense as I suspected that it could have been someone I knew who had come to check on me. “Alright… I'll go. You pretend to be sick and I would pretend like I was playing ball.” Aiden qui

    AIDENThere were just so many words I could say in that moment, but I held my tongue as I was watching the scene that was going on between Ellie and Jasmine who seemed like she couldn't get enough of her friend's company. I was almost tearing up at the emotions from the moment. I would have teared up, but I was Aiden Castro. There was no way I could be caught doing that. I watched, holding that ball impatiently in my hand and hoping that it would finish sooner than it was taking. As they went on and on about everything, I noticed that Kai was stepping out of there with a neutral look on his face. I had been following the conversation that had been going on between the two of them that made me feel like stepping in there and telling them to beat it so I could return to my even more serious session with Ellie which their impromptu visit had caused. Soon enough, Kai turned around, heading in my direction. There were just too many things that had me feeling like I was about to get to

    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
