All Chapters of Tangled Hearts: A forbidden Romance: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

ELLIE“I'm sorry, Ellie…” Jasmine's apologies weren't amounting to anything as I didn't want to hear them to begin with. She sounded like she was more focused on justifying herself instead of making up for her misdeeds which had left me helpless at the hands of a stranger. I had been trying to tell myself that I wasn't affected by it, but then, I knew more than anyone that it was going to take quite some time before I would get to trust Jasmine ever again. “There were a lot of things that happened, and I was pressured into making that decision… It wasn't entirely my fault. They threatened to leave me behind if I didn't join them… Ellie, please say something…” “You know more than anyone that there's nothing for me to say…” I said as I was trying not to get even madder than I was already. It would possibly lead to me saying things that I didn't want to. Words couldn't describe how I was feeling at that point, as I was trying not to see Jasmine as an enemy even though she had treate

ELLIE“The rules…?” I was wondering to myself as I was making my way back to the house, feeling half disappointed and half pleased. I hadn't been expecting Dylan to be such a handful. He was making himself look like a mystery which I would have to make out time to crack. The more I told myself that I wasn't interested in digging into it, the more I found myself wanting to find out what could be going on with this mystery character that I had run into.I was almost made to feel like I was the guy trying to get a girl's attention, and I hated being put in that position. I strongly believed that it was meant to be the other way around. There were a lot of things I wanted to find out about him, but my pride wouldn't let me ask of it. I didn't want to look so desperate. He was meant to come after me with all he had and hoped that I would be able to open up to him. Why was he such an… I didn't even have the words for him at that point.“Ugh…” I sighed as I opened the door. The fact that I

AIDENAt that point, I was praying the weekend would be over sooner rather than later. I was thinking of what could have probably gone wrong with my phone that made the pictures of the chats suddenly get deleted. It was the strangest kind of shit I had ever experienced. I was trying my best not to lose my cool just yet. Though I didn’t want to admit it just yet, my existence was beginning to get a bit boring without a friend by my side. And even worse, without Ellie. I couldn’t make any new friends, and at the same time, I didn’t want to go back to my life of being a player, even though I could easily pick up from where I had left off. Just like I had done with the basketball team and I was doing pretty good at it. All I had for the time being was that ball and there was nothing else to it. It was beginning to get quite boring, but I wasn’t ready to admit it just yet. I missed having people around me, but then I was about to also push away the last person whom I had by my side at e

ELLIE“And ta-da! The dinner is ready to be served hot...” Emily said as we were finally done with the Italian dish she had been experimenting with in the kitchen for the past couple of moments. It had been quite a grueling session void of any fun or dialogue. The happenings that had taken place earlier in the day made it almost impossible to say anything or to start up any form of conversation. Emily had been continually pushing her luck as she had been trying to bring up some hot topics for us to talk about while we were preparing the meal for dinner. But each time she would, I would end it all with close-ended replies until she got the fact that I wasn’t in the mood for any conversations. I hated the fact that I was so cold and unresponsive to all she had been trying to do so far. “Do you want to have a taste of it?” Emily asked with a smile as enthusiastic as that of a three-year-old. It almost felt like her niceness was a facade aimed at hiding something. I didn’t know why I

AIDENWhat was that cocky bastard doing there? I kept wondering to myself as I was staring at both of them, in the hope of finding out what could have been wrong with the picture I was staring at. “Aiden... just calm down for a couple of moments...” the way Ellie was quick to step in for him the moment my voice had risen to an unfriendly timbre. “He just swung by at the wrong time, but look, he’s on his way home right now.”I stared at him and he stared back as he walked away almost as if he had a lot of words that he wanted to say to me but was just unable to. He stepped into his car and drove away. From what I noticed, I had to conclude that he had to be some sort of spoiled kid, who simply got everything the way he wanted it with his parents and was probably thinking that he could have it that way right there. But I would be ever ready to burst his bubble. I couldn’t tell why I was feeling like my territory had been invaded. I made up my mind to keep my cool that time around. “
