Ayden 13. Jay
Nottingham Few Years Back That evening Ayla was more cheerful at the dinner table than she was in the entire five months of her stay at Nottingham. Her step brother, with whom she never shared at least a two minutes of conversation was burning like a volcano which is going to be burst at some point. Apparently, he was beaten by someone and her father was as furious he was. Ayla wondered if her father would react the same way if he know that Ayla has been always bullied. Deep inside, she knew that the answer is no. He never noticed her agony and fears. So, he probably wouldn’t give a damn about her happiness. Evelyn is almost in tears for her bruised son. There was certain tension in the family that Ayla has felt like an odd man out. She had no one to share her happiness, no one to listen about Jayden Knight and Mason Gray. For a second, she envied Jack. He has perfect mother and father in full health. She dragged her feet to upstairs trying not to interfere in their family affairs. K
Ayden 14. Biased
LONDON PRESENT DAY “Jay? Is that a short form for Jayden? Cool, isn’t it? I can’t believe that he actually did that with her.” Vanessa curled her hands into a fist and shoves it to Ayla’s face who is turning the steering wheel with her eyes fixed on the road, brain thinking about the truck that has always haunted her and the ears hearing the same word, ‘Jay.’ What is it about that word that is so familiar? Why is she feeling odd and thinking about the accident? She is in a driver seat. She is not supposed to have another panic attack or any visions of her forgotten memory. But, “Watch out.” That piercing scream of her friend made her foot press the break and her car stopped amidst a lonely street with a taxi before their car, which Ayla almost crashed into. The driver cursed something while Vanessa is stroking Ayla’s back. All the time, “I am sorry.” Is all Ayla managed to let out. “We almost got hit.” Vanessa bent her
Ayden 15. Rumour
LONDON PRESENT DAY “He probably thought that you are not fit here. After all, you are not the employee of Knight & Gray. So, you were put at the copy machine and coffee machine. I wonder what you offered him.” “He is taking your side and praised your work.” The least Mr. Cliff made the world believe is that Ayla is totally unfit to work there and has offered something to the CEO in order to keep her job. A few hours at canteen is all it takes for unbelievably believing gossip. “I have seen her go to that floor many times. I never thought she is fucking the” They didn’t pronounce that name instead show the word with their fingers C E O. “The secretary of Mr. Knight herself fetched her once.” “No wonder they kept her. She dares to speak against Mr. Cliff’s words.” “She thinks so highly of herself.” “I think she copied my work. She once asked me about it. She was
Ayden 16. Stay
Ayla’s breath became quicker when she found herself in her boss’s dainty office once again. What is so intimidating about this room- Nothing but being alone with Jayden Knight behind the closed doors. Momentarily she lost the anger she held before he dragged her here as her eyes started to appreciate how masculine he smelled and seemed confident behind the sumptuous black suit. Unlike last time, this fabric looked like it is worth of her one month salary. His gaze is deep, intense and mesmerizing that she thought one could easily get lost in them. All the time, she didn’t realize that she is gawking at him, he scrutinized her enough to allow a lazy smirk swept across his beautiful face. She quickly averted her gaze. The little action made himself knock him mentally. He is not supposed to be proud by the fact that this girl, the girl who betrayed him in the name of love, is fascinated by his charm. They both shared an awkward moment for another eternity seconds. “Sargin.
Ayden 17. Distance
PRESENT-DAYLONDON "Why is a traitor assigned to work with me on the new project?" Mason battered the ball with much force with his bat. The next ball is thrown at Jayden which he missed. "You are losing it. Ain't you?" Mason hit another ball. "You are going back to those days. What were you thinking?" Jayden kept his bat in position. When the ball is thrown, he struck it hard. "I didn't lose it. I was being professional." He wipes the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand. "It has been six years anyway." "Exactly, Jayden. It has been six years. You still didn't get over her. And if I am right, you never stopped loving her." "You don't know a shit about me." "If anyone knows any shit about you, it's me." Jayden tossed his bat
Ayden 18. Mason & Yeona
She wished it was a spam call whenever her phone rang. Being an introvert and surviving high school in a different country is one of the hard things one could endure. She always sat on a bench that was far away from the pupils and quietly had her sandwich with her headsets on. It was another passing day, another boring day, and another day in Nottingham. Ayla observed a silhouette of a girl walking towards her from the corner of her eye. She has no friends there and the mess Blake has created has slowly cooled down, so no one bothered her. And no one will. But she couldn’t help but pray that whoever was coming shouldn’t be for her. To her misfortunes, the pair of legs stood exactly beside the bench she sat on. She removed one of her earbuds slowly when she heard a vague female voice. &
Ayden 19. IT WON'T GO AWAY
PRESENT-DAY LONDON “How’s your over boring work?” Blake shouted amidst the loud music playing around them. “As awful as a work can be,” Ayla replied with the same loud voice. “What did your boss say?” Ayla shook her head while looking at the crowd gathered on the dance floor. She wondered if they are really happy and peaceful like they seem or if this pub is their only escape? Do they carry voids, unsettling feelings, and an unknown homesick as she does? If they do, would they find an answer? The only answer she once had is her job which was now become the biggest question in her life.
Ayden 20. Something Happened
PRESENT-DAY, LONDON He had many reasons to justify why he did what he did. He was angry that his rare peaceful moments were once again, invaded by Blake and Ayla. It wasn’t fair for him that they are sitting together and enjoying while he was left with so much emptiness. His plan for an uninterrupted evening had failed. So he walked out containing all pain and anger for feeling that hurt even after all these years. And again, there she was stumbling on her own feet. He didn’t like how Blake left her like that on her own. She was rolling drunk. And again, he wasn’t supposed to be upset about how Blake was treating her. He has to get into his car and leave for his home. He couldn’t. His heart pounded wildly when he saw the truck. If he was a second away, she could have hit and possibly died.
