Chapter 27
🚩 Melissa's POV 🚩
Adrian, her Mum and I got into the house and I saw my aunt and uncle sitting with Mr Kendall, Aiden and a woman I don't recognize in the sitting room. Adrian greeted her dad and Aiden came over to greet me.
"Hey, beauty", he said grinning. If you need someone that deserves a gold medal in teasing, then Aiden is your guy.
I smiled back at him and moved to my Aunt. 'What are you doing here?', I asked her.
"You'll know soon. 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 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?

🚩 Adrian's POV 🚩I woke up when someone was pulling the covers from my body. 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. Get up', she said and pulled the covers completely from my body. 'As from today, you have to wake up by 6 to get ready for school.'"What?!", I said almost shouting but she didn't say anything and went out the door.I took that as an opportunity and pull the covers back to sleep but she came in again holding a bottle of water.I laughed sheepishly.
