Henry POV
“You must have some questions”, Alice breaks the silence and caught my attention.
“I do”, Abbey says and I nod my head in agreement.
Devin takes a deep breath and has a sip of his coffee while Alice hugs her mug in her hands.
“Mum, tells us the story from the beginning please”, Abbey says and I look at Alice that looks at Devin as if asking for support. He squeezes her knee lightly and Alice takes a deep breath.
“Did your dad ever told you how we met?”, Alice asks looking at me and I shake my head. He probably did, but he probably made some lie.
“I was an escort”, Alice starts and I open my mouth in shock. I would’ve never thought that Alice was an escort. She is such a posh lady.
Abbey opens her mouth as to speak and Alice cuts her off.
“This is a part of my life that I don’t like to remember, but because of it, it brought
Let me know what you think.
Abbey POVToday is Henry’s birthday, and I haven’t talked to him yet. It’s only ten in the morning, but I have Richie already here cuddling up to Roxy as we talk about the party. Richie has been spending all of his spare time here. He and Henry spend more time here than in their own house, and I even say they are our new roommates. Penelope keeps moaning that she doesn’t want them around anymore. She says our bills are going up, and she can’t afford to spend more money. We get that, so we offered to pay the extra, but she still moans.In the last couple of weeks, Penelope has been trying to pick up arguments and fights with everyone. Something is going on with her, but she is not willing to tell us. Because of their behaviour against the boys and the way she is treating us, we decided to leave her out of organising the party. She is invited but not organising it.“So, how about catering?” Roxy asks as I
Henry POV Today is my birthday and I have agreed to see my mum, as soon as I wake up I get myself sorted saying goodbye to my sleeping beauty next to me and I walk out. I need to get my mum to help me financially. I am working part time but the money is short to the kind of life I was used living. It will take me some time to try and cut down on expenses. I go home to change into one of my suits as she expects me to be wearing a proper attire for the lunch with her. I have a quick shower and pull my hair back with some hair wax and put on a three piece navy blue suit. I look at myself in the mirror and I see my dad. I shake my head pushing away the thoughts of how much we look alike. He has darker hair and is a little taller. I blink my eyes a couple of times before grabbing my car keys and driving to meet my mum at the restaurant she has booked us in for lunch. I park the car and when I get in I see m
Abbey POV “Is it true that you made a bet that you would Date Abbey and then dump her?”, Richie says and I can’t believe what I am hearing. A bet? Is that what I was to him? I look at Henry that is now trying to focus his eyes on me and I don’t give him the chance to say anything. I pull my hand away from his and I run out of the room. I can hear Roxy calling my name but I don’t stop. I run into the bathroom and Roxy closes the door behind her as soon as we walk in. I rest both my hands on the sink and I look at myself in the mirror. “Stupid, I’m so fucking stupid”, I let out as I cry looking at myself in the mirror. Roxy hugs me from being whispering in my ear that I am not stupid and everything is going to be okay. I can’t believe I fell for his crap. I can’t believe I trusted him. I believed in him. I turn around facing Roxy and she wraps her arms around my body keeping me from falling on the floor. I can hear Henry slamming his hands agai
Henry POV I open my eyes and I am instantly hit by a horrible headache. Drinking my weight doesn’t feel like a good idea right now, it did the last few days. I have kept myself drunk almost into a comatose state for the past few days. I am not dealing well with this entire thing. I turn to the side hugging my other pillow and I take a sniff out of it, it smells like Abbey. I close my eyes tightly and I roll on my back. I rest my arms behind my head and I take a deep breath. It’s been two days since my birthday and I haven’t been able to talk to abbey, her phone is off and Roxy doesn’t let me into their house. Richie moved out and is living with them. Fucking cunt. I get out of bed and walk into my bathroom turning the shower on. I am going to get Abbey to talk to me. I need to see her. I get myself sorted in there and I walk into the small dressi
Abbey POV “You love me? How dare you? You don’t know what love is, you are a dick Henry, you made a bet, I was a bet, don’t you think I had the right to know? You humiliated me, I am the bet girl,. How am I supposed to face people now? I am the stupid girl that was a bet”, I shout at Henry allowing all of my anger and frustration to leave my body. “That’s it baby, let it all out”, Henry says and the condescending prick thinks he is better than me, I start hitting him bit he doesn’t even flinch. My anger is taking over and I need him to feel as much pain as I am feeling right now. “Fuck you Henry, just leave, go be with some slut that won’t mind to be your side piece”, I say as he grabs my wrists bringing my body closer to his. He close his eyes as he feels my body close and when he opens I feel as if my legs stopped working, his clear blue eyes starring deep into my soul “You are the o
Henry POV“Hey man, come on, one drink”, Alex says and I shake my head. I really can’t be fucked to go out.“Na, I’m fine mate”, I let out and Alex sits next to me and pats me on my knee.“I know this is fucked up. But you can’t let this get you down, you’re Henry Payne, everyone wants to be you or be with you, get out of this flat and let’s go get a drink”, Alex says standing up and pulling my tea mug away from me.“Hey”, I protest and he takes it to the kitchen. I guess he is right. I can’t just stay here closed. I need to go out, Abbey told me with all the letters to leave. She told me I am just like my father. I know I am nothing like him.I shake my head and put my shoes on following Alex out of the door.“Where are we going?” I ask him and he laughs pulling me to a taxi down t
Abbey POVToday is the last day of class before easter break. Mum and dad went to Italy as dad had some business to attend to and I decided to stay behind. I have some catching up to do in some classes. I have been extremely distracted. As much as I try to get Henry out of my mind I can’t. I am not going to lie, it has become easier as he hasn’t been around. I haven’t seen him in a couple of months and I am not going to lie. It is helping a little. Mum and dad weren’t very happy about how I have been distracted and how I don’t want to go to Italy, especially because I have been avoiding going home. There are too many memories there. My bedroom is completely different, I went on a shopping spree a couple of months ago and got everything new. I didn’t want the reminders that I had about Henry constantly smacking me in the face.“Hey Abs, we’re going”, Roxy says and I nod my head giving her and Richie
Henry POV“Hey, you’re back”, Alex says as soon as I open the flat door. I am hit by a horrible stench.I look around to see dirty laundry and plates everywhere. He hasn’t clean since I left. I can see that. As I take one more step, I accidentally kick a can of beer, and I clench my fists on my sides.“What the fuck, Alex?” I let out, and he laughed.“The cleaning lady quit, and I couldn’t afford to hire another one”, Alex says, and I shake my head, picking up a pair of underwear from the back of the settee. Anger bursts through my body as I feel it vibrating.‘Get this place cleaned right now, or leave”, I shout at him, and he looks at me wide-eyed.“Come on, mate, it’s just some plates and clothes”, he says“It stinks in here.
