Natalie's P. O. V
Xander and Xavier were on the floor, but when Xavier rolled over, I realized he had taken the bullet for Xander. Xander just lay there, shocked about the whole thing. Who knew this would happen?? The gun had long dropped from Lucy's hands when she managed to process everything and she stood there dazed. Then began to mutter little incoherent things to herself while twisting her hair." I just murdered someone!" She said out loud before finally passing out, falling to the floor. I just stood there, dazed. Xavier's painful groan brought me back to the room. He was already bleeding." Oh, my God. No! " I muttered quietly as I went out towards him. He was shot in the stomach and when I tried to touch it, he groaned out loud. I stopped, my lips quivering." I'm sorry," I mumbled and looked up at Xander, who was still staring at everything as if it was a movie. I walked up to him as well, shaking him roughly." Will you at least get yourself togeTricia's P. O. VI bowed my head out of shame as my mum reprimanded me. After the most embarrassing moment of my life at the hospital, I was taken to the police station where I was put into a cell. " How could you do this to your sister! What if she died??" my mum yelled at me and I cringed." She's not my sister!" I shot back, tears filling and streaming out my eyes." Really? What is she then?? Your maid? For goodness’ sake Tricia, I warned you. Even if she doesn't see you like one, she's never done anything to hurt you. Her dad might not be much of a father to you, but he isn't much a father to his daughter as well. She lives miles away from him!"I choked out, sobbing quietly." I just wanted something of my own. Something that I could point out as mine... And I didn't have any." I blurted." And you have that." My mom said gently. " If you were a little nicer, you'll know that you had that. You have friends, family... We might not be th
Natalie's P. O. VI was on my way back to Middesville but this time I didn't go alone; I went with my newfound friends and boyfriend on a bus. Today is my birthday and instead of celebrating it with a bunch of crappy people I didn't know, I decided to go to a place where people knew me well and I was allowed to do whatever I want. Darren and Mira were behind us acting all lovey-dovey, Xander was in front and I'm guessing he was face timing Lucy while Xavier laid on my shoulders, operating his phone while I listened to music with my earphones.I have to admit, sometimes our relationship still surprises me because we are so different in so many ways. While I liked to do everything hard and rough, which almost always got me into trouble, Xavier was more of a cool guy... Something I didn't think I was ever going to manage. It's weird how we get along just fine and not get into tons of arguments as people expected us to." For the last time Natalie, why didn't you invite a
Natalie's POV"Hey Natty! Won't you wake up!? Get your ass down here!!” my brother yelled downstairs. I groaned on the bed, turning to my side. The alarm had gone off minutes ago but I still wanted to get more moments of sleep. We had a leaving party last night, and it was a blast. Yeah, I'm leaving middesville to New Orleans.My door burst open, revealing the hunk of a brother."Natty, if I come to get you there, you'll punch the wall 60 times as your punishment...""I'm up, I'm up. And I am not punching the wall. I need my hands when I'm carrying those boxes." I said, sitting up."Good. I need you downstairs in the next 5 minutes, no more no less."I took a proper look at my brother and frowned."What are you doing in my room without a shirt?” I asked. He raised a brow, confused."Huh?" He looked down, later smiling and revealing his fang-like teeth, which always made him look devilishly handso
Xander's POVWaking up with a slight migraine, I looked down, slowly pushing the body that lay on my chest. She was still fast asleep. Running my hands through my hair, I let out a huff. Last night was the same as all other nights. Get drunk and get laid. Same pointless sex.Wrapping a towel round my abdomen, I walked to the bathroom to have a quick shower. I needed to get my thoughts together as I stayed beneath the shower for what seemed like forever. Eventually, I was done and turned it off. Getting out of the bathroom, I met the girl already seated. I don't even know her name."Hi, good morning." she greeted shyly. I'm sure she must be feeling on top of the world for being in my bed. If only she knew it meant nothing to me. I put up a smile and played along."Good morning. How are you?" I asked."Fine. Just a little sore." she added, pouting."Sorry, I'll leave you to freshen up."Okay."I went to the wardrobe and pic
Xavier's POVI watched as her expression went from anger to surprise, but nothing close to shock. Damn! She's pretty."Anyway, I still think you should apologise. I could have been seriously hurt there," she said, glaring at me. She sure has some nerve, funny I haven't seen around here."Well, it's a good thing you aren't. Can you please leave? I'd like to go now." I said, frowning."Is it so hard for you to say sorry?""Go to Babylon for that!" I snapped and got back into my car, driving off. Watching her from my rearview mirror, I saw that she still stood there, probably surprised at my outburst. I must've made a very bad impression on her. A part of me wanted to apologise, so I slowed down, but as usual, I waved it off and drove away again. I've gone past caring about people feeling's. Who needs them anyway??***Natalie's POVI stood still, completely shocked. Isn't that the same guy Ariana is always drooling ab
Xander's POV"Dad called." Xavier announced on the dining. We've been sitting opposite each other for a while now, neither of us saying anything, and suddenly he announces this."Did he?" I asked."Yes. He said he wanted to check up on us. See how we were faring." He answered."What did you tell him?""We're fine.""Okay..." I muttered and continued eating. I have a feeling he's not done yet. " Xander, he's heard. People are telling him." he suddenly said, peering at me. I raised my brows as if I wasn't concerned."Heard what?" I asked."Your consistent partying. He made a long speech about that affecting his image....""It's all about his image, isn't it?" suddenly snapped, cutting him off. " Everything is about his image to the press, isn't it? He doesn't come home, never calls and when he finally does it is to tell us it's affecting his image.... Seriously?""It's not about that, Xander. You should
(Same day: evening time)Natalie's P. O. VI'm in my room staring at the uniform I got in preparation for my resumption to Ambrose high school tomorrow. The parcel had arrived earlier with a few other things and I was in my room trying to get it to sink in. Putting the clothes on my body and staring at the mirror in front of me, it looked perfect. I sighed. I'll never get used to it.Throwing it carelessly on the bed, I took up my phone and called up Ariana. She picked up at the first ring." Hey, girl." I greeted." Wassup? How's my favorite baby doll doing?" She greeted cheerfully. " First off, I'm not a doll. Second, I'm not so good. Missed you guys like hell," I said into the phone." We missed you too. Everyone has been mopping around since you left."" Aww. Say hi for me."" Will do. Soo... Any gist?"" Not much... Oh, I met the Anderson brothers."" You did!! Ariana shrieked and I frowned as I put the phone away from my
Natalie's P. O. VThe visit to the principal's office earned me an ID card with a small piece of book that contained the school rules, which am positive no one follows around here. Mira had earlier wanted to accompany me to class, but I dismissed her, I can manage on my own. She's been enough help. Walking through the now-empty hall as the bell had rung and there were all in their classes, I looked for my class and finally found it. Taking deep breaths, I relaxed and pulled the door open, entering into my class.First things first, the class was huge. The chairs seemed comfortable and spacy as well, not cramped like my former school. Not that I hated it, I especially liked jutting into people's seats for the fun of it. Sucks I won't be doing it here. The class immediately went quiet the moment they saw me, checking me out. They must have wondered where I come from. I glanced around the class and saw Mira; she was waving and pointing at the empty seat beside her. There were
