All Chapters of Tangled Hearts: A forbidden Romance: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

ELLIEI took one last gulp of the drink from my bottle of vodka. I had gotten wasted and I had vowed to myself that I wouldn't be taking any more in a while, but then I wasn't liking the fact that I was back at it again.But what could I do? There was nothing else there to make me feel better about all of that moment. There was no friend or close companion that could get me to feel better in those horrible moments when I was facing the music all alone. “You are alright…” I said to myself as I stared in the mirror. “You don't need Aiden…” but the more I called his name, I felt even weaker. How could I have given up such a precious moment to such a jerk?But the deed had been done anyway. I exhaled heavily as I looked at the watch that clung to my shaky wrist. The alcohol was making me a bit dizzy at that point but I was trying my very best to get back on the track of sobriety.“You're good…” I said again, as I took my bag, loaded with books for the day and some food that I had taken o

KAI’S POV“There's much more to those siblings than we could tell…”Gina sounded like those annoying threads that would want viewers to read till the very end. I wished she would get to the point immediately, and set me free from the inexplicable suspense which was eating me whole.“What exactly did you see…? I don't have all day to sit and listen to you make your dramatic narration of events.” I picked up the ball again as I wasn't in the mood for any sort of gossip. “You are impatient and that could be what could stop you from getting what you want.” Gina was beginning to get on my nerves even more as she was beginning to sound like she was some sort of therapist and I was one of her helpless patients.I let out a sigh as all I could do was wait for her to say what her juicy secret was. “I'm listening, so take your time with it already.” “Good…” she said, smiling uncontrollably as she was in control of the whole thing. I couldn't help but wonder how Aiden could have been able to d

ELLIE“What's going on between you and your brother?”“I don't understand…” I couldn't help but wonder where that question was coming from. Was it from the pain of what Aiden had done to him? Or had he simply assumed that Aiden and I were up to something because of he was overly protective?“Of course, you understand what exactly I'm talking about…” he said with a conviction that just couldn't be explained. “Quit playing dumb with me, Ellie.”He had me frightened as I was trying to figure out where he could have gotten that idea from as it was almost impossible for anyone to come that close to unraveling the mystery behind Aiden and I.“I don't understand you, Kai. You ghosted me for a while and now you are here with some ridiculously unbelievable assumptions and accusations.” I got aggressive with my defensiveness, to give no room for any doubts. “What the heck have you been imagining for the past couple of days?”He was quiet for a while as he nodded with an angry look on his face a

ELLIEI found myself waiting for practice to be over, as I couldn't wait to get along with Troy who had shined in the practice like he had promised to. It was quite hard for me to notice anything else in the environment besides him at that point, and that gave me some concern. “There are just too many of them that you get confused…” Jasmine and her friend Zaya had been conversing about all the hot boys on the school's football team that they fancied. It was an almost inexhaustible conversation as every single one of them seemed to be such a hotshot. I was wondering why I had never been frequenting that part of school ever since. At that moment, it almost felt like my eyes were slowly opening to the parts of my life I hadn't been enjoying because of my affair with Aiden. I was almost feeling like a bird set free. “Here you are…” Troy had me a bit scared as he suddenly poked me with his index on my shoulder, causing me to turn to see him all dressed and ready to go. “Shall we…?” He

KAI“Come on man, you've been lying in your bed like that forever…” Kyle, my younger brother, walked into the room to see me in the same way he'd found me when he'd walked in before. I had been lying on my right side, under the covers facing the night sky beyond the windows. Peering into the blackness while thinking about everything and how everything had gone with Ellie and Aiden seemed to be more than enough therapy than I could ever get from anyone. “Don't tell me you're still stressing over that girl?” Kyle said as he sat beside me on the bed. If he had known just how much Ellie meant to me then he would have probably thought twice about referring to her flippantly as ‘that girl’. I said nothing to him as he went on with his pep talk to get me out of the sorry state I was in. Nothing had shaken my confidence as much as Ellie had done. That moment was quite harder than anything I had ever been up against. “You're taking things too far. Do you know just how many girls out there
