Aanya CHAPTER 30
Aanya’s POV: 2 weeks have passed since the ball, and today, I am very bored since I don’t have anything to do. I don’t have the energy to read books, cook, or go out, but I have the energy to be childish. My idea of childishness is getting high on sugar and pulling pranks on others. So that is exactly what I have been doing right now, but I am confused as to whom to prank. I can’t prank Ryan – he is busy, can’t prank Charlotte – she is also busy, can’t prank Ashley or Naomi – they are both busy with their boyfriends… … … Cooper and Max [Evan’s dog] came in wagging their tails. I haven’t seen them in ages. We became kind of close when I started living here. I have a very good relationship with Cooper and a love-hate relationship with Max, let’s just say Max is less accommodating sometimes. That’s when I had an idea of whom to prank. Evan has been working overnight since the night after the ball, maybe even before that, but I don’t know. So, as a good wife, I should let him rest, but
Aanya CHAPTER 31
Aanya’s POV: I woke up, and it felt like I had been sleeping for hours, but I could still sleep. My body feels hot. I looked down to see I was covered with a blanket, but not only that, I had a needle in my right hand. I look up the wire, and it leads to an IV. Am I dreaming? How come I didn’t feel anything when it was inserted into me? I can’t stand the sight of needles, so I remember every single encounter of mine with needles. “Go back to sleep. You have to take good rest.” I looked to my left to see Evan sitting on the bed next to me. He was reading a book. “What are you doing?” “Helping you get better” The sun is still shining bright outside “What’s time?” “It is the 3rd of November, and the time is 5 past 2 in the afternoon.” Oh, okay “Wait, I slept for a day?” He sighed and closed the book he was reading and turned to me “You have got a fever. I called the doctor this morning, and he said that with the correct medicine and rest, you will be better soon” No wonder I fee
Aanya CHAPTER 32
Aanya’s POV: “I am home!!” “Father/Mother is home” “I have to go back home” Sometimes, people use the word home so many times that the word loses its meaning and feeling. As I have read in many stories, a home is not a building with 4 concrete walls and 3 levels full of many different rooms with different purposes. Rather, it is where you feel like you belong. Some people find it right next to them while others find it by travelling to different places to get that feeling. In simple words, home is where we find a meaning to define ourselves and who we believe ourselves to be. At the age of 16, I found my home to be in books – thanks to Ashley. Ashely Shoved It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. She was obsessed with that book, but I didn’t like the ending. When I knew there is going to be a second book called It Starts With Us, I was more than excited and when I read the story from Atlas's side I knew It Ends With Us ended the right way. I felt like Lily’s mom stayed because 1. she c
Aanya CHAPTER 33
Aanya’s POV: I tossed and tuned in my bed, trying to fall asleep, but my mind was open and loud. I lay there thinking, thinking of all the possibilities of what would happen if indeed I fell in love with him. Would he accept it? Or would it be one-sided? Would we tear up the agreement and start anew? Or would he leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere, with no hope? I lay there and think of all the people who walked into my life without much effort but also disappeared without much effort. I get déjà vu from this, but the last time I was awake all night was when I had my GCSE. I remember during the easter holidays, I would sleep in the afternoon just so I would be able to stay at night and study without disruption but when I woke up I would still be sleepy and much more tired than before. It was a time when I was so emotionally drained for an unknown reason. Soon, the sun starts peeking through the curtains, making me sigh, no sleep today, I guess. I am going to Ann’s company for
Aanya CHAPTER 34
Aanya’s POV: I think I am dead. It is not the best statement in the world, but nonetheless, it is the truth. The last thing I remember is the unbearable pain in my shoulder, and trying to move my shoulder now seems like a bad idea since I can still feel the unbearable pain. I don’t know if it is a good sign, but I am not dead. Do I pity myself? Maybe. Looking back, it was a hard week. Fuck that, it has been a hard life. If my life was put in a graph people could probably see how bad my life went but I know out there, there is someone who went through more pain than me. More torture than me. My eyes felt heavy like it was stuck together with super glue. I heard the continuous sound of the heart machine beeping. The things I would like to do to that machine. The bed I was in felt like stone, it was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in. With a bit more determination and strength, I opened my eyes to a ceiling that is made of polystyrene square laid on a grid frame. The lights
Aanya CHAPTER 35
Aanya’s POV: It was a sight to behold, with its sleek black exterior gleaming in the sunlight. The car was low to the ground, hugging the pavement with its sharp angles. The doors opened upwards, like wings, revealing a plush leather interior with bucket seats and a high-tech dashboard. The engine purrs to life with the slightest touch to the gas pedal. It was the kind that turned heads wherever it went, a true symbol of luxury and power, but not anymore. The sight beholding Lamborghini was not screaming luxury or power anymore. Rather, it was screaming trash. Same with Aston Martin. Aston Martins was a stunning work of art with its white exterior. It had a low profile and a long, elegant body. This one's door also opened upwards, revealing a luxury interior with plush leather seats and a high-tech dashboard. The car engine hums softly, ready to leap into action at the slightest touch of the gas pedal. While the Lamborghini symbolised luxury and power, this boy excluded class and s
Aanya CHAPTER 36
Aanya’s POV: As soon as we reached NYC, we booked a hotel for a week and got some rest. The flight was tiring. We thankfully got a room together for all of us and the first day was spent cooped up in our hotel room, eating junk food and watching different series. The next afternoon we were all charged up and all of us were struck by the energy and excitement of the city. We spent the whole day exploring Times Square, taking in the bright lights and crowded streets. We sampled street food and shopped at local boutiques, taking advantage of the unique experience that NYC had to offer. On the third day, we visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, walked through central park and took a ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. We again tried new foods and explored different neighbourhoods, taking in the sight and sounds of the city. As time went on, we all bonded with each other very well, I and Ann also bonded well over our common interest in designing. I bet we all looked like 5 crazy te
Aanya CHAPTER 37
Evan’s POV: “What did you enjoy? That you trashed my car for fun? Or that defied me? Or is it that you like New York? Huh, what did you enjoy?” I questioned her right after we got to the room and closed the doors. Behind these closed doors, she looked so small, so fragile. I could see the fear swimming in her dark black eyes. Black usually reminds me of my soul, my tortured past but her eyes remind me of the whirlwind of emotions she makes me feel and only one other person could do that. The human being in front of me made me want to experience things that would usually be my destruction. Yet her scent alone makes me feel different. I can feel the hot burning molten lava pumping through my veins as I look at her with so much hate and disgust. They are not for her, they are reciprocated to me. I hate myself for allowing myself to feel like this but I can’t help it. She stumbled back as I took a step towards her. I was looking at her like she w
