tossed and turned all night, not getting a wink of sleep and that was mostly because I had slept for the whole day.Every time I replayed what had happened, I'd feel bad and guilty. I tried distracting myself by watching a couple of episodes of a show but then I soon got bored of it as it didn't really catch my attention.
It felt like a long night. It was really weird how you could sleep for eight hours on an average and still think that you just slept for a minute but when you're awake for the same eight hours at night it feels long and unending.
Once it was six in the morning, I trudged downstairs feeling much better now. Although I still had a little bit of cold it was still better than what I was feeling the other day.
No one was awake at this time, probably except for Ethan. He must be getting ready for the day.
As expected the kitchen was empty as well. Everyone was sleeping and I tried to be as quiet as possi
When we arrived at the said amusement park I instantly told Amelia to call Heather and ask where they were right now. She called Heather and walked a few steps away to talk to her. I couldn't really hear what they were talking about so I just waited for her to hang up. I should've brought my own phone so that I could've called her myself but I forgot it at home."They are in the maze." Amelia said after the call.I was intending to wait at the exit of the maze so that when the girls came out, we could talk about what was going on but my plans were spoiled when Amelia showed enthusiasm in the maze and dragged me in it. I could've stopped her but Amelia was so fast and I didn't even realize when she dragged us into the deep maze. I couldn't even keep track of which turns she took."Amelia! How are we going to get out?!" I screeched. Not only did I not like the maze, I was even feeling a little claustrophobic in it.She giggled nervously. "Sorry I was just r
I staggered back in shock but he matched my steps and pressed closer to me while wrapping an arm around my waist to support my jelly legs.My back touched my room door as he continued to kiss me fervently. My thoughts were a jumbled mess. One moment I was so agitated about Keith quitting his job and then they were quickly replaced with thoughts of how good it felt to be this close to Ethan. His soft and warm lips were moving against mine as if he was in a hurry. He was probably waiting for me to push him off and wanted to make the most of this moment before it ended. He wasn't even pausing to breathe and I wasn't even doing anything. I was just pressed against the door with my arms raised to my sides in surprise and my eyes wide.My initial instinct was to push him off and tell myself that it never happened until I believe it but there was this force which wasn't making it happen. It was so strong, I couldn't do anything for a long time except stand there like a statue
"Please don't misunderstand my intentions about Keith. Hear me out.""What other reason could be there for you to send him away? You were jealous and wanted him gone because you thought we liked each other, didn't you?" I was still not looking at him. I couldn't. I'd forget the whole reason why I was mad at him if I risked a glance into those captivating eyes."I'm not going to lie to you. It was one of the reasons albeit a small one. You remember the day we went to buy a birthday present for him and you scolded me for disrespecting him? I was feeling really guilty about it and I realized I was being immature and I didn't want you to think of me like that because I really am not like that. So I observed him and he's a good person. He's also very talented and it frustrated me because he was just letting his talent go to waste here, just because of money. He has so much potential and so many things to learn. Staying here was just a hindrance to his growth. I didn't want
At first I thought I was just imagining her, like I had last night. I even blinked a couple of times but she was still there, with the same expression of heartbreak and betrayal that she had last night in my imagination.It was Heather.I tried to say something but no sound came from my mouth. She was furious and her eyes were quickly welling up with tears."What's wrong?" Ethan asked, caressing my cheek. I didn't answer him and he followed my line of sight."H-Heather," he stuttered. "What're you doing here?"Her lower lip trembled. "How could you?"I didn't know to whom the question was directed to because she kept flitting her gaze from him to me."You're my best friend," she whispered and then the tears began to fall from her eyes. "How could you do this to me? How could you so easily betray me?"Ethan strode towards her and grabbed her arm. "Calm down."She pushed him away roughly. "I won't calm down! Do you have an
"Why?" I asked with a frown. Her reaction had scared me.She dropped her expression and smiled as if she hadn't looked beyond stressed just seconds ago. "Its just that she's very tired. We had a very fun night and she must already be sleeping. Let's not disturb her.""Oh," I sat back down. "Okay."Heather kept looking between us and then bent down to whisper something in my ear."We need to talk about you and Ethan but not now, he'll get suspicious. I'll come back again sometime today, maybe in the afternoon and we'll talk about what's going on between you two. Be prepared because I'm going to interrogate you as if you're a criminal."I gulped when she pulled away. Of course we needed to have a talk about what was going on between Ethan and I but even I didn't know what it was. I was sure Heather was going to ask if I was just pretending to like him for his money. I knew she was going to be harsh on me. But I didn't blame her. She was just protecti
Around midnight I heard a knock on my bedroom door. At first I thought I had just imagined it but then it came again and for a few seconds I was flooded with thoughts of a ghost doing that because everyone was sleeping right now and it was dark and quiet around so it did spook me out.I got out of bed and slowly twisted the door knob open, mimicking the way the actors in horror movies do because sometimes I get this sick enjoyment in imagining myself in that role, doing all the things I scream at the actors to not do.I saw a figure right in front of me when I opened the door. In the dark I couldn't see his face but I instantly knew it was Ethan. I breathed a sigh of relief."Ethan, what're you doing here?"He didn't say anything and
It was lunchtime now and I was sitting on the couch. Ethan was going to come home for lunch anytime now and I was dreading what I was about to do.I didn't really want to do it this way but the only way Ethan would be convinced is if he saw it for himself.When he did walk in, I immediately sprang into action. I grabbed Vince's hand and laughed at what he was telling me.I had called him right after Ethan had left and we decided to go out for lunch. He was going to pick me up but I told him to wait for a bit so that Ethan would see me with him. Of course I didn't tell him the reason."We should go now. I'm hungry." I told Vince and he agreed.We began to move out but met Ethan halfwa
Vince was very fast when it came to planning parties. Literally the next day I got a call from him saying that the party was tonight at eight. Everyone who was between eighteen to thirty years of age was invited.I was told that roughly a hundred and fifty people were invited. That was just how many people Vince knew. Amelia, Heather, Olivia, Tristan, Ethan were the only people I knew that were invited.Rachel and Antonio couldn't make it because they were overseas. Antonio had gone to visit his supermodel girlfriend, Audrey Wave. Rachel was busy travelling across the globe to advertise and promote her new clothing line.Thank God it was a masquerade party. I didn't even want to think about what would've happened if all the people who were invited to the party recognized me. I would make sure to pick a mask which covered most of my face to be extra safe.I hadn't seen Olivia much since she returned from her sleepover with Heather. Something was definitely
