“Aki!” Mom called from downstairs. “Are you up? Nick’s here to see you!”
“I’m up.” I answered from my bed where I was finishing off my homework.
Nick’s smiling face appeared at my doorway and before long, I was engulfed in a bear hug. “Aki! How are you today? Does your head still hurt?” He gushed all at once.
“Nick, calm down! I’m fine.” I moved out of his embrace. “I’m fine, okay. Don’t worry.”
“You know I care about you, Aki. You matter to me.”
Because you matter. Ethan’s words reverberated through my mind. Why did I just compare them anyway?
“Alright, no more stressful thoughts.” Nick smiled that innocent smile—the smile I grew up seeing—of his that has the entire female population of our school, except me, falling at his feet. &ldq

Chapter 24: Thanksgiving DisasterDespite my moaning and groaning, mom drove me to school the next morning. I knew it had more to do with judging people’s reactions than not wanting me to stress out. And though I didn’t admit it out loud, I was glad for it as well. Having her beside me gave me the strength I needed to face everyone.It was only when no one pounced on our car or do something drastic that mom finally left. I thought the scene would change once I stepped out of the car, but still nothing. The only thing I got was polite smiles and a few good mornings from my classmates.Suspicion rising, I began my hunt for Ethan. Found him in his classroom.“Hey!” He greeted, looking up from a pile of project work.“Hi.” I shut the door behind me and pulled on the latch. I’d arrived early so there were still twenty minutes left for the first morning bell to ring. Ethan pulled me down on his l

Chapter 25: What the Heart Wants“Umm… hi, dad!" I smiled awkwardly at his glaring face.“I’d prefer if both of you explain yourselves now rather than after dinner,” he said calmly. Shit! It would have been better if he was mad. Now there was no telling what was going on inside his head.“We—”“We’re together,” Ethan cut in, wrapping an arm around my waist. “And I know you won’t believe me if I say that I’m in love with her, but that’s the truth.”I looked up at him wide-eyed. Was he nuts? Dad was definitely going to shoot him now. But I had to admit, my man’s got guts.“You are correct, I don’t believe you. Akira, go back to the dining table while I escort Mr. Whitmore out,” dad used his no-more-arguments-and-I’ll-deal-with-you-later-young-lady voice on me. I was aghast. This seriously could not be

Chapter 26: The Final LessonThe day after the event, Nick came to me to inform me that in two days he’d be leaving for Alberta, Canada, where he would finish high school and he had also been accepted into the University of Alberta for a bachelor’s in Ancient History.It was his way of telling me that he was sorry and he knew that no matter what happens, we can never go back to being friends or anything remotely close to how we used to be, because even if I forgave him for what he put me through, I had not nor would I ever be able to forget.He did visit me before he left with his mom, Silva having transferred to a hospital in Alberta, where she could spend more time with her son. He had dinner with my family and then parted from me on a remotely comfortable note. I knew that he still had feelings for me, if the way he kept looking at me with regret in his eyes were any indication, but I think he knew that there couldn&rsquo

Chapter 27: Goodbye Ms. OGI ran my hands through Ethan’s hair a couple times to wake him.“Mmm… Keep doing that, feels good,” Ethan whispered sleepily, so I obliged and continued to stroke through his silky blonde hair. Why was he the one with such nice hair?“So… if I do this, will you help me pass your chemistry project?” I asked hopefully. I hate organic chemistry and he’d intentionally given my final project based on that subject. Such a brat!“Nope!” I huffed at his declaration and went back to working on my laptop, leaving Ethan sprawled up in my bed.It was now February, almost the end of winter vacations, with the finals right around the corner and Ethan was here in my house lazing around since Dylan and Ember had taken over his apartment for the day, his words not mine.

First day of class in University and I was about to drop dead.Why you asked? Because right now I was hundreds of miles away from my boyfriend, in The University of New Brunswick, studying Creative Writing, while Ethan was still teaching chemistry at Clearwater High, Clearwater, Idaho.I asked him on my graduation day, with my entire life on the line, if he could at least move to a school nearby but he’d crushed my hopes and stomped on my heart.

I raised an eyebrow at him."Akira, we have two whole days to take part in the preparations." Ethan took his hands off of the clutch for an instant to take my hand and give it a light squeeze. "Don't worry, you'll be able to take part in everything that's been planned.""Okay!" I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. Okay, maybe I am being a bit paranoid, but I still can't believe that my sister is getting married!It's not that I'm the last one to get the news, but my semester finals ended the day before yesterday and all flights were reserved for that day as well as yesterday, so we had no other options but to catch the early morning flight today and then travel the rest of the journey via Ethan's car, so it's already 4.09 in the afternoon and we had just crossed over to Imphal."We're here."

Chapter 30: Now and Forever"And do you, Evelyn Sanders, take Luke Stone, to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest turned to Eva, who all but cried out, "I Do!""By the power bestowed upon me by God, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride."Cheers erupted from all over the room as the groom finally kissed the bride and flower petals came raining down on the alter, as planned by the bride herself.Mom and dad looked both delighted and sad at the same time. Luke's mother was reduced to tears while his father consoled his wife. Eva herself seemed to be wiping off heard of joy. Seriously, what's with all the crying on a happy occasion? Nick's girlfriend looked relaxed and happy now that she's seen me walk up to the isle with Ethan. And I was busy glaring at Ethan.I haven't been able to contact him the whole day yesterday and he even arrived late to the wedding with the excuse that he's had a bad hangover.

Epilogue “If you were ever given a chance to date any one of your characters, which one would it be?” “Any gender?” I laughed. “Then I’ll definitely choose Mia Weller!” “Mrs. Akira Whitmore,” another reporter called out. “Why did you choose Mia Weller as your preferred date? Any particular reason?” “Umm… yes, actually,” I answered truthfully, tucking a strand of red hair behind my ear. “I feel that Mia and I have a lot in common, personality wise we’re the same, reserved at first but when we make friends, we’ll do anything for them. We have similar tastes in men, too, handsome and the alpha kind.” “Is that why most of your male leads are blond?” A girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old asked from the audience, a knowing grin stretched across her face. “Absolutely!” I laughed. “I tried, I honestly did, but I can’t for the life of me, find someone who’s as handsome as my husband!
