? Adrian's POV ?
"Adrian?", I heard a low voice saying but I wasn't in the mood to wake up. The voice spoke up again and I noticed it is not a voice I'm familiar with. I've heard it maybe once or twice but it doesn't sound that familiar.
I heard rumbling as the person stood up from the bed and walked.
"I'm bored and there is no one that's gonna play with me", I heard the voice mumbling. Then I recognized the voice then.
Harper.
What is she doing here? I opened my eyes and true enough Harper was standing with her back to me and about to open the door.
"Harper?", I called her back.
She turned and looked at me. It was indeed Harper. She gave me a grin which melted my heart. "Adrian!", She shouted and jumped on my bed. She put her arms around my neck and gave me a bone crushing hug. "You are awake."
"Yes, Harp. Why are you here?", I asked because obviously, I was confused.

Just calm down", she replied.Why do I have a feeling that whatever the situation is, I'm not gonna like it? I nodded and went to Adrian's room with her. On getting to her room, I fell back on the bed and decided to close my eyes for a little bit because I was tired from all the shopping. Mrs Kendall really knows how to wear someone out."Tired?", Adrian asked and I nodded. "Me too. Mum is just too much", she said shaking her head.She fell on the bed next to me and groaned, picking up her phone.

I felt bad for her because I really believe that she looked for the baby. Frank is really a bastard. But how come my whole life is tied with Frank in it?"Mum, is all these true?", Aiden asked standing up."Yes, it is", mum replied."Then why didn't you tell us?""I had to be sure, Aid. I just couldn't tell you like that.""You should have told us you had a child before us, at least", he argued."But, I didn't-", she didn't get a chance to finish her statement because Aiden walked out of the sitting room and she burst into tears."Aiden!", I shouted but I was totally ignored.I looked at Mum again and I had no choice but to move closer and wrap my hands around her."You are not angry?", She asked looking at me with tears in her eyes."Angry?

I opened my eyes and Karlie Ann was standing with her hands on her hips raising an eyebrow."What?", I asked.'It is time to get up. Aren't you going to school?'I checked the time. "What? It's still early. This is just 6 o'clock."'Yes. And that makes it the time to wake and dress up for school.'"No! We wake up by 8 in the morning", I argued.'Well, not anymore. Things have changed.
