Two years ago… 2015

Adam’s POV

What is home? Home for me is not four walls and a ceiling. Home for me is the love of my life Aria. It’s been six years we’ve been together.

How we met? In university, first year medicine to be exact. She caught my attention when she first tripped over my legs causing her nose to start bleeding and blame my so called “long legs”

Since then Aria and me started spending more time together, mostly doing our lecture work together and doing weird couple shit she loves, like matching clothes, or screaming in harry styles concert lyrics I don’t even know of - I mean I don’t even know what Aria loves about this singer but I’m happy if she’s happy.

So what I’m saying is… I do really love her. So I’m proposing to her in two hours.

Super duper nervous but be cool because she doesn’t like seeing me nervous or scared.

So how do I introduce myself to her parents

Hi? I’m Adam Grayson, 6”2 uhh… I love studying… yeah.

I’m a geek.

Anyways Aria doesn’t seem to mind me being a geek. She only tells me to go hide when the bullies come near me. It’s to protect me from them hurting me again, She’s such an angel.

I’m finally in my sixth year studying medicine with Aria and right now I’m on my way to our scheduled meeting spot. Yes Aria is very busy lately so I have to do this quick.

As I’m walking to the restaurant I can feel my legs shake from anticipation. How will she react? Is she excited like me? I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.

There she stands, tall and confident, just what I love about her. She’s wearing red high heels and a black strap dress. I will not lie I prefer women who show less skin but if she’s comfortable wearing that then I’ll love her for it.

She turns around looking a bit anxious “Adam why did you call me here? You said it’s urgent? If it’s nothing important I need to go I can’t waste my time today”

I hesitated, how silly of me I should’ve let her find a date that works for us. We rarely have free time, either one of us have to go on placement or run errands.

“R-Right so I was th-thinking we were together for a very long time and..and-“

“Can you like hurry up I don’t have time for you to mess around today”

“Right so *ahem* w…will you…”

I get down on one knee and finally say the words.

“Will you marry me, Aria?”

Time stands still… almost too still.

Why is it taking so long?

10..11..12 is she going to say no…

All of a sudden she turns around and walks away. Wait, what did I do wrong?

I get up and run after her, “Aria! What’s wrong? Are you rejecting me!?”

She turns around and smacks me on the chest.

“I can’t believe I spent six years with you! I thought you knew we were never taking this forward! It was never about marriage you fool, I was only using you for your notes because you’re the top student!”

W..what?

I stopped in my tracks, my heart dropped.

“You don’t mean that Aria tell me.. tell me you don’t mean that”

“I’m sorry I really needed to boost my grade and you were hard to approach so I had to do it the long way… don’t worry I won’t lie the sex was good.”

Am I hearing wrong, the love of my life just told me I mean nothing to her except her golden ticket to success.

What is home, I ask myself? Is it not a person, a heartbeat, a sweet- no a terrible, disgusting person named Aria?

I’m not sure what home is or where it is.

I watched her walk away like she hadn’t dumped a bucket of boiling hot lava on me. Words I never hoped to hear.

A fool in love.

I walk back home and as bad as my luck gets it starts raining too.

My phone vibrates in my pocket and I monotonously answer it and wait for the other person to speak.

“…brother? Are you there? It’s raining like cats and dogs outside, where are you! Mum sent me to come pick you up I’m on the highway just send me the address”

No I can’t let my sister see me like this or she will fight the whole school and Aria… I can't let Aria get hurt even after everything she did to me…

“I don’t need a sister spoon feeding me just leave me the fuck alone and don’t come after me”

“Hey! Don’t speak to your sister like that. I'm 10 minutes older than you! And what’s wrong with you? Did someone try to pick on you again? I’m comin-“

“Did you not hear what I said? Just fuck off-“

There’s some sounds on the other end of the line, sounds almost like a… crash…

No… god please no…

“Lia? You there? What was that noise”

I panicked when I didn’t get a response.

“Amelia Grayson tell me right now what just happened? Amelia, talk to me please! this isn’t funny anymore!”

No answer. This can’t be real please no…

Highway, running towards it.

But by the time I reached the scene there were Police. A lot of them. They were everywhere.

Under the heavy rain that trickled down like teardrops it was very hard to distinguish between actual tears and the rain.

I confirmed it was tears… when I saw a body laying on the floor covered in blood.

A name card: Amelia Grayson.

Walking towards her, she must be alive, please be alive to scold me again, I want to hear your annoying voice please… at least one last time.

My parents were there somewhere I could hear the police tell them to fill in paperwork but my mind has gone blank. It’s all my fault. If she didn’t come pick me up… if she was still alive I would get on my knees and ask her to forgive me for the way I spoke to her… the last person she spoke to was me… oh how I hate myself for taking my anger out on her.

I especially hate women. Because of Aria I wouldn’t have wasted my time here… she wouldn’t have come here…

I fucking hate Aria Smith. She better wish she never comes anywhere near my sight.

    Present day2 years later, in 2017Adeline’s POV:I awoke suddenly with a distasteful sensation. The domino effect of first seeing where I am; home? Check. What’s that awful smell; alcohol breath? Check. That toe curing sensation; migraine. Lavishing, amazing, lovely! I would say I would never go within a 5-meter diameter with alcohol but who am I kidding, I’ve said that since freshman year in university.I would say it's a coping mechanism for most students, especially law students who feel like they had a small nuclear attack inside of their brains so there needs to be alcohol to ensure a destination because if I'm being honest at this point I would be lost if I didn't have a Sunday night wild party. So yes it's a Monday afternoon now so I get up and the first thing I do is to go flopping towards the bathroom trying to fit in my other slipper at the same time. I'm very surprised mum or dad didn't run in here complaining about the same thing over and over again, and it's the latest

    Adam’s POV:Beep beep beep. What is that annoying noise?Beep beep beep.This better be important, otherwise whoever is calling me on this bloody phone is looking for death.Oh. It’s dad. I answered the call while still half asleep. “What’s up dad? Why call at this unholy hour” I can practically imagine how he’s glaring at the phone “unholy? Son it’s 4pm. Don’t tell me you’re spending your university days off hooking up with girls.”I chuckle, and then roll over to my left and see a woman’s body veiled with the comforter. Her vanilla skin illuminated under the darkness of the room, her back faces me but I know by her uneven breathing she’s awake but pretending to sleep. Is she waiting to see if I kick her out? Come on, I'm not that heartless.“Dad, what else would I be doing, you know me too well.” I stretch and get out of bed, I put on my glasses, and put on my bathrobe. “As you said I have 3 weeks off so I also need to catch up on leisure time and satisfy my desires.” I pause and

    Adeline’s POVIt's been two weeks since the topic of marriage was laid out on the table and since then it's been quite hectic in the Carter household.There's been an obvious change in the atmosphere like everyone is walking on eggshells around me. I know they are being very cautious with words especially prohibited words, like Axel...I stare out of the window in the lecture hall and breathe out a sigh... A bit too loud... Wait. Oh crap the mic is on. Squeezing my eyes shut and then opening them again, I look around pretending like I wasn't the one who did that and just when I thought my plan would be a success, I take a second glance and see everyone staring, at me. Even the professor.“Miss Carter, you have something to say? You let out quite a sigh, I'm sorry do you find my lessons boring?”Great, now I've been put on the spot. Silly me I didn't even know this mic existed, imagine I said something else like the professor has a nice booty- uhh I mean... Anyways...I stand up, “sor

    Adeline’s POV The sun started setting by the time I reached home, I pull up to my driveway and turn off the ignition. I let out a sigh feeling anxious. I know once I step foot in the house mum and dad would begin the whole conversation of the whole marriage ideal. I mentally pull up my big girl socks and hop off the car and wiggle my hips in an attempt to brush off the slight pain from the fall because of a certain Mr arrogant and handsome who has a beautiful body but a questionable attitude. Anyways I shut the car door and walk towards the main entrance. The doormen greet me and open the door for me, to which I gave my recognition to them for doing their job. By the time I got to my room I was pulled to the side by my mother to which I gave her a look of confusion, she looked back at me with what looked like worry and sympathy in her eyes. “Mom, is everything okay? Why are you giving me that look?”The only reaction I get is a tut as she shakes her head “oh sweetheart, we are only t

    Adeline’s POVSeveral days later…As I stepped into our grand dinner hall, my heart raced with anticipation. The soft glow of candlelight danced across the ornate walls, casting intricate patterns onto the polished marble floors. My parents had spared no expense in preparing for this evening, determined to make a favorable impression on our future in-laws.I smoothed down the delicate fabric of my gown, a vision of ivory silk and intricate lace that had been painstakingly tailored for this moment. The corseted bodice hugged my figure, while the full skirts swirled around my ankles with every step. It was a gown fit for a princess, or so my mother had insisted, and yet, as I looked into the mirror, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at my stomach."Adeline, darling, you look positively radiant," my mother gushed, her eyes shining with pride as she adjusted the pearls around my neck.
