Bad news

       Entering the living room, a deep frown befell Arizona's face.  The scent.. He knows only one person with such scent. He frowned harder, 'She's home'. 

      Instead of being happy like any other child would be, he grew annoyed instead. 

He decided to go into his room to avoid bumping into her or something. 

      As he walked past a particular door, he heard loud screams... More like moans, "ah! Harder! Yh.. Right ther..oh fvck!"

       Arizona clenched his jaws,both in disgust and anger. She's at it again. Bringing numerous men to sleep with,neglecting him like he's not in existence at all. After ruining his life. After almost making him lose all he has. After almost separating him from his family.

          The recollection made him even angrier as he barged into his room and slammed the door. 

    "ahhh!" He heard her distant scream and he vexed out his anger by throwing a hard punch unto the wall behind him. 

    "Dang it!" He cussed, his mind engulfed by rage as he threw another punch at the wall. He could kill the both of them right now. 

       Arizona felt his knuckles sting painfully, but it didn't match the rage in his heart. Warm liquid trickled down his hand, onto the floor,staining it red. 

         He hates her with burning passion!

'Calm down... Just few more months... '

  He thought to himself, calming down.

        He walked towards the table in his room, not far from his window. He settled down on the chair and began to search among the pile of books on the table. 

     Soon, he pulled out a hard covered blue book and opened it. Picking up his pen, he began to write even though the blood was staining the book. 

      Writing... It's the only way he quenches his anger. 

   'Just a little bit more' He chanted subconsciously. 

     ⭐⭐⭐

  Arizona woke up a little later than usual but it didn't bother him. It's Sunday after all. 

      Getting up from the bed, he heard a deep growl and realized he didn't eat dinner last night because of his anger. And his right hand was aching like, but he didn't care. 

     He went to wash his face and brush. He wore his glasses and make way downstairs to eat something at least then leave the house as early as possible.. To avoid her. 

       Entering the kitchen, the sight that greeted him made him annoyed. 

     A man pinned a lady to the wall, kissing her like there's no tomorrow, making disgusting lewd sounds.

       Arizona ignored that, walking over to the coffee maker. 

       The lady heard the sounds and looked up, pulling away from her lover, 

    "Arizona! You came home. Were you late? I didn't hear you come in." She said. 

      Arizona said nothing. Her voice irritates him. 

     "Arizona! Can't you talk!?" She snapped. He once again ignored her, turning to walk out of the kitchen with his coffee. 

       Now infuriated, she tried to hold him but he yanked his arm off her touch, "Don't touch me with those disgusting hands." The degree of his voice was literally 0.

So so cold and hateful, which would surprise those that usually hears his cool, soft voice. 

    She scoffed unbelievably, running her fingers through her short Brown hair, "You have to humble yourself before me! I am your mother you know!" 

   Ari scoffed then snarled, "You don't deserve to be one. Leave me alone. Go ahead and fuck whoever the hell you want to! I don't care! Just leave me alone!!"  The volume of his voice was rising

gradually till he was yelling at his mother. 

    Eyeing her contemptibly, he stormed out of the kitchen. 

  "Arizona! Arizona!" She called him back but he ignored her. Her lover placed a hand on her shoulder, "Let him be, Susan." 

     She sighed worriedly, "But..." 

"He's not a baby. Leave him alone. Now, can we pick it up from where we stopped?" He grinned, grabbing her ass. 

    Susan chuckled, immediately forgetting she even has a son, "As we were"...

⭐⭐⭐ Arizona let out a deep breath as he entered his room. It took him all he had not to jump at his mother's lover and punch the living daylight out of him. 

        To be frank, he hates his mother. She is a good example of bad news. She's the reason their family separated. 

       The family was happy. He, his twin brother and their little sister. Susan was never a good mother right from time. She neglects her children, always focused on her business and numerous lovers. She often cheats on their father, George Black. He found out but didn't care. He took care of his children and made sure they got love and care even though he was a very busy man. 

        One unfortunate night, Susan's neglect and nonchalant attitude towards the children led to a tragedy. George had to leave for business reasons on an emergency and had no other choice than to let Susan take care of them for the night. 

      It was horrible... Very terrible and that led to Arizona's hatred for her. He'll never see her as a mother because she has failed as one. The moment her child lost her life under her watch yet she doesn't seem to care... 

   That night , his little sister whom he so much loved and cherished,died. 

   And that led to their parents divorce. He was separated from his twin brother and father because of Susan, who insisted on leaving with her children. 

     Despite all that happened, Susan didn't change her ways. She got even worse. 

    Arizona hates her, and he made sure she knows that.. Not that she cares anyways.

   ⭐⭐⭐

    Wearing his glasses, Arizona walked out of the room. He was glad he didn't bump into Susan. 

   He got to the living room and called, "Rose!!!" 

    Almost immediately, a middle aged woman came running in. She bowed slightly as she reached him, "Master." 

      Arizona said, "I might not come home tonight. Don't make my dinner." 

      Knowing his exact reason, Rose bowed, "I understand, master." Her eyes scanned him, looking for a bruise or something. It's always like that, "Are you okay though?" 

       Arizona nodded and turned to leave, "Goodbye." 

    "Goodbye sir" 

⭐⭐⭐

  Areum frowned worriedly. She's been in the park for almost an hour now, yet no sign of him and his phone is switched off. 

   "He's always on time. I wonder if he's okay." Areum said to herself in worry.

    She decided to try his digits again. Fortunately, it rang this time around. 

⭐⭐⭐ 

    Arizona felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He'd just switched it on few minutes ago when he got himself. He's been blank all morning. It always happens and this calms him. This particular place. The gentle rushes of the waves... 

     Bringing the phone out, he saw who the caller was. Immediately, his eyes widened. Damn it! He's forgotten about his outing with Areum!

    "Areum!" She heard a familiar voice call her name. She turned and she smiled in relief. He's here. He rushed up to her, "I'm so sorry. You must have been here for so long. Gosh! I'm..." Areum held his hand,stopping him by saying, "It's okay, Ari. Are you good?" Arizona nodded, "Yh. I'm fine." Areum nodded. She noticed his bright blue eyes aren't so bright. He looks different... Downcast... "Ok. That's nice. I was actually worried when you didn't come..." Areum said to him as they walked over to the small ice-cream kiosk. Arizona blinked, feeling a tiny flutter in his heart, "Y.. You were worried about me?" Areum sent him a strange look, "Why not? We are friends after all. And even if we aren't, it's good to care for others." A smile spread on Arizona's initially black face, "You are different you know." Areum made a funny face, "Different? How do you mean?"

Riel, whom she sat behind, rolled her eyes. Diego, who sat next to Riel smiled, "Obviously looking for her Prince charming, Arizona. Right?" Areum blushed, "Wrong!" Riel scoffed but Areum ignored her. Just then, he entered the class. The classmates noticed him but didn't make a big deal out of his entrance. It's just some nerd boy. Except for Areum. Her beautiful face lit up immediately he stepped into the class. His bight blue eyes behind his specs wandered around and met Areum's. Their hearts skipped a beat simultaneously. Areum smiled at him and he smiled back. Meanwhile..

    Luella walked into the class,her eyes roaming around. They fell on Arizona and Areum, who were working and chatting. She frowned and walked over to her seat. She'd seen the text but decided to ignore it. Arizona watched Ella sit down and bring out her book. She was paired up with two other students. He sighed. Areum gained his attention, "Arizona!" He turned to look at her, "Yes, Areum?" She said, "Uh. I won't be able to come to the café today." She said. His face turned worried, "Why? Are you okay?" Areum nodded, "Yh. I just... I'm hanging out with Kanye. So..." She suddenly felt awkward saying it. Why? It's not bad... "oh. Ok." Arizona nodded, his concerned face fading into a blank one. "yh..."

    Evening Yul's Café. Arizona and Areum were working in silence. Yes. A very uncomfortable one at that. Areum wasn't talking, smiling or even looking at him, and he felt bothered. Why? When she even got here, she barely greeted him. Has he done something wrong? He couldn't bear this attitude anymore, so he asked, "Areum. Can I ask you something?" Areum didn't look at him, she only hummed. Arizona sighed, "Are you mad at me? Did I do anything wrong?" Areum looked at him, her green eyes narrowed dryly, "What makes you think so?" "I don't know. Are you okay though? You usually aren't like this. " Areum nodded," I'm good. Thanks for noticing me this time around. " The way she said it, made Arizona realize something had happened. He nodded and they continued to work. " Should we go out later this evening?"He asked suddenly, making her stare at him in surprise. He's never asked her out. Arizona felt his cheeks flame in embarrassment. She's looking at him like he

    It wasn't good at all when Arizona got home. Because immediately he stepped into the living room, the sight that greeted him made his anger increase. Susan sat there, a man roaming his hands all over her as she giggled. Arizona clenched his jaws. 'Do not let your emotions rule over your mind ' he's always chanted in his mind anytime he sees things like this. As he made to walk away, he heard his mother call, "Arizona! You're home." Of course he didn't pay her attention. She smiled at him, "Why are you so late? Anyways. I decided to surprise you by coming home. Did you miss me?" "he sure did." Her newest lover smiled. Arizona felt angrier, "Did you bring him home so that you could mock me?" Susan chuckled, "No. I brought him home to relax. It's Melody's death anniversary soon." Arizona gaped at her. How can she say that so carefreely!? "Now you want to mourn her? When you killed her!?" Susan frowned, "She died herself, Arizona!" "No

    Arizona was alone in his room, reading his robotics book when he heard the doorbell ring. He checked the time, wondering if Luella decided not to take her extra culinary classes anymore since she's here. She's the only one he's expecting. He decided not to go to school today, knowing he wouldn't be able to face Areum after what he'd done the previous day and he won't be able to avoid her beautiful eyes either. So he preferred to stay at home and miss her while moping in guilt. Arizona walked downstairs, running his long fingers through his already dishevelled hair. He reached the door and flung it open, expecting no one but Ella, but then... Her beautiful smile that never fails to make his heart beat weirdly came into view, her green eyes sparkling at him, "Hi!" Arizona blinked, "Hi... Hi." He stammered. To be honest, she's the last person he'd expected to be here. Areum smiled in admiration. He looks so much different.. First of all, he's not using his glasses.

    Areum ignored the whining from Riel. "Can you just consider Kanye and leave that... Nerd!?" Areum eyed her, "I am not interested in Kanye and he isn't in me either! Stop all these Riel!" Riel said, "You're letting this guy come between us, Areum" Areum rolled her eyes, standing up from the bed and picking her bag, "No! You're letting him come between us. Because i don't see the problem in making friends..." Riel cocked a brow, "You're my best friend, Areum. I can tell, you like him. But he's not the best for you. I mean... He's... He's just so..." Areum raised her hand to stop Riel from completing that, "You say you are my best friend, Riel. But it's a lie. Because if you truly are, you wouldn't act like this towards me just because of Arizona. And what if he's not the best for me? It's me,not you! So leave me alone!" To be honest, she's really mad at Riel. How could she? Riel scoffed, "What are you trying to say, Areum?" Areum

    Crystal Academy Literature class. Arizona sat beside Areum, his b right blue eyes trailing the students that were receiving their project marks. Some were happy while others were scowling in annoyance. "Team Kapi..Kapicron..Ka...what is this?" Mr Oliver glared at the two boys that approached him. "It's Team Capricorn." The taller one said. "Now, I see why you failed! Is this the spelling of Capricorn!" Mr Oliver snapped. The boys lowered their heads and the classmates laughed. Mr Oliver gave their book to them. On it, was a big F. They grumbled, walking back to their seats. "Team Untouchables..." He sighed. They walked up to him... "Team Variella... Ok, where did you all get these names!" He said in frustration making the students giggle. Valerie, Larissa and Luella walked up to collect their book. They had a B. Happily, they skipped to their seats. On her way, Luella looked over at Arizona, who immediately looked away, obviously avoiding her.

    "I think I'll just go to the bank tomorrow, Daddy," Areum smiled at her father, brushing his now grey hair off his forehead. The urgency of his operation weighed heavily on her mind; losing him would be the worst thing imaginable. James Kyung held her hand, squeezing it fondly. Tears glistened in his eyes as he spoke, "I'm sorry, Areum."She shook her head, tightening her grip on his hand. "No, Dad. It's not your fault. Please.""It is. I was so consumed by work that I neglected myself, turning to alcohol as a crutch. Now, I've put you in a difficult position when you should be living freely. I'm so sorry, Areum.""Please, Daddy. It's okay," she sighed, hoping to deflect his self-blame. "It will be over soon, I promise. I'll secure a loan, and we'll pay it back after the successful operation. Just stay strong for me, please," she urged, to which her father nodded."I won't let you down, Areum. Not this time," he vowed.Areum offered him a faint smile, reassured by his determination. T

    Areum could hear screams as she walked down the halls. It was a guy and a girl obviously and the guy's voice sounded so familiar that it made her heart skip. But then she concluded it was the terrible conversation with Mr George that's affecting her. It didn't go well for real.The further she walked, the louder the voices got. "You're annoying me! I want to sleep!" She heard the guy's voice. She frowned now. That sounds like... Arizona. 'Is it him? 'She could never mistake his voice for anyone else's." Why?! It's not like you want to use female accessories! " The girl screamed and that was when Areum reached them. Surely it was Arizona. She didn't see his face but the back view was enough to convince her. He barked at the pretty girl before him, "I have a girlfriend okay? And its hers."Her heart fell. Did he just say he has a girlfriend? Areum watched as he pulled something off the girl's hair. He turned to Areum, causing her to freeze.Immediately Arizona saw her, his ey

    After Areum pulled herself together, she walked up to her father, "Daddy." "Areum... Did you see the doctor... What did he say..." Areum sat with a frustrated sigh, "It's too much, daddy. We can't right now. We can't." She looked like she was about to cry again. James sighed. The two drowned in the uncomfortable silence, lost in thoughts. Suddenly, James asked "Darling, there's a solution and I want to know if you'll be willing to..." "... Why not?!" Areum cut in. She's willing to do anything for her father. James nodded, "You'll have to go to his house." Areum raised a brow, "His? Who?" "George Black." Areum looked genuinely confused, "Who is George Black?" James frowned at her, realising Arizona hasn't told her everything. James sighed, "He's someone I used to know. He's behind all of these." Areum stared at her father in confusion. George Black is the one behind all of these? Then how about Arizona and Kanye... "Here. " Areum heard her father say, giving her

    Arizona flew up from his seat in alarm, screaming into the phone, "Hospital?!" Kanye frowned, "Hospital?" "What happened to her? Why is she in the hospital?!" Arizona rushed out, his heart pounding at the possibilities. Did she hurt herself? Did she try to... His heart shook. Immediately, he asked, "Which hospital?" "GoldBlue General. Are you going over?" "Immediately." Arizona said, rushing up the stairs of the mansion. Kanye rushed after him, worried also. They entered Arizona's room and he began to search through his wardrobe. "What happened to her?" Kanye asked him. "I don't even know." Arizona murmured, his voice trembling. He wore a shirt and jeans as fast as lightening. Picking his phone, he dashed out of the room. Kanye went after him, down to the garage. Arizona unlocked his car and was about to rush in when Kanye grabbed his arm. "Before you go,you need to keep something in mind. She might push you away." Arizona's heart fell, "I know that. But I st

    Luella poked her head in to the living room and scanned around. The television was on but mute, leaving the house silent and gloomy. Arizona sat on the floor, his head casted down. She walked to him, squatting before him, "Arizona? Are you okay? What happened to you?" Arizona didn't reply but his shoulders trembled, making Ella frown, "Arizona. Please tell me. Then I can know what to do. I saw you with Areum earlier and..." "... She's gone." He whispered. He looked up to see a surprised looking Luella, "Gone? Where to?" Arizona closed his eyes and threw his head back, chuckling like a crazy person, "She left me. She's gone like...gone!" He barked at Luella, who flinched. "Oh my! I knew she was bad news immediately you started hanging out with her. Is that why you've been moody these days? What happened between you two?" The way Luella asked, her voice and facial expression would clear her off any suspicion. Her act was so perfect like she knows absolutely nothing about

"I'm not interested." Arizona growled at his brother. How can he talk about their father now? It's annoying. "Come on Arizona! It's important!" Kanye snapped making Arizona roll his eyes. Before he could say anything else, he heard footsteps. Looking up, to his surprise, he saw Areum... . . . Areum's eyes widened when she saw the two of them. Her throat became dry as she looked down, hating to see them right now. "Excuse me." Areum murmured with the intention passing between them and going her way but she should have known better. Someone stopped her by grabbing her arm. The touch was electrifying but she was so sure it's the anger working. "Let go, Arizona." She spoke with a low voice, trying to hide the pain. "Areum... Please, listen to me... " Areum rolled her eyes,

The stage was bathed in a warm, golden light, ready to welcome the next generation of graduates. As the ceremony commenced, the air grew hushed with anticipation. The performances began , each class getting reading for their own presentation. Mr Blooms and his students were getting prepared to go on stage and sing their hearts out for the guests. He looked around frantically, "Okay! Areum is here! Dallas too... Indie.... Where the heck is Kanye?!" Indie looked at Areum, who looked away immediately. Indie found that weird but she replied Mr Blooms, "I'm sorry! I'll call him now." and she excused herself. Areum also left the waiting room. She went to the restroom to co

    "Good evening, Young master Black." The beefy bodyguards bowed as Arizona stormed into his father's office. He didn't acknowledge them which was unusual. They stared at each other and shrugged. Entering the office, Arizona met his father and brother, discussing. George smiled immediately he saw Arizona, "Son! I was just about to call you. Cornard Bills is proposing a contract and I'd like you to handle it while Kanye works on Gold Blue's project. What do you think?" Arizona clenched his fist, "I'm not interested." Kanye raised a brow, "What? It's a big contract, stupid." He teased a bit but that didn't change Arizona's hard countenance. Arizona scoffed, facing his father, "Are you satisfied now?" George Black narrowed his gaze,wondering what his son was so mad about. He's never been this angry at him. "What do you mean? " Kanye asked, now confused. "Because you couldn't let go of the past, I've lost literally everything! What I thought

    Arizona stands there, frozen in place, his own emotions swirling inside him. He doesn't want to leave, but he knows he has to respect her wishes. Slowly, he steps back, his eyes never leaving hers. He can see the hurt and anger in her eyes, and it breaks his heart. He steps through the door, closing it behind him. Arizona leans against the door immediately, sliding to the floor, his head in his hands. He can hear Areum crying on the other side, and it feels like his heart is being torn in two. He wants to help her, to make things right, but he knows she needs space. And so he sat there, listening to the sound of her grief, feeling powerless to do anything to make it better. His head throbbed with a headache, the pain only adding to his distress. He felt sadness and regret. But he needed to give Areum space. She's too angry and sad to listen to him now. Maybe he should let her calm down... . . . There Areum sat, against the door
