Alessia's POVThe weekend had been filled with unwarranted drama, but it felt nice since the spotlight did shift away from me and talks about Patrick. But I felt sorry for aunt Ingrid, she had to be faced with their malicious threats of all the things that could go wrong the moment she leaves. But she left anyways, got herself lodged in a hotel. And only decided to affirm she isn't dead yet by responding to the numerous texts and calls Allen and I bombarded her phone with, this morning. Talking about how much she had some good sleep after what seem like ages. She really has an unhealthy reaction to things. If I had been the one sent out of the house and told never to come back. I would have sat by the gate seeking for mercy.But that is definitely the perks of having a job and your own money. Lesson learnt I should really get a skill incase I get thrown out of the house too. I wonder where Ashley and Collin are. It's lunch time and I have been waiting for them to join me. But they a
Collin's POVHearing the threat in Ariel's words, I know she wouldn't let this slide so easily. The main reason I had stayed away from her even when we attended the same school and were a bit close. Is due to how entitled and petty she is. It's beyond a pretty face for Ariel. If she wants anything, she wouldn't mind rolling up in the mud and splashing it over everyone just to get what she wants. I had avoided her enough due to her sour side. At the same time, she is a sweet person to be friends with. If one over looks the negative side to her. During the weekend, we had gotten an unexpected visitor and it turns out to be Ariel. How she got my address, I have no idea. At the same time I wasn't too surprised when I saw her and Seth giggling and chuckling. Seth knows nothing about courtesy and seeing someone's permission before giving them out to a probable assassin or what not. We decided to go out as suggested by Wayne, since Rodger would be leaving us soon. Ariel being around join
Collin's POVAriel had walked out on me right there, she did make an exit. I rubbed at my forehead, feeling a dull ache coming through. One thing I try as much as I can to avoid in my life, after seeing how much Wayne had to run from it all his life before finally settling with Annette; is girls trouble. I ran back to the school, to give myself off on the altar to Alessia before Ariel roasts me . Everyone who knew Ariel and I back then in the city we lived, all believed we might end up together. Mostly because, Ariel is super clingy and would stick to my side all the time. Ester was the first to notice she would be trouble and had clearly warned me to not go beyond the friendship level with her. When Ariel had come to the house during the weekend, ester clearly didn't feel comfortable. And now it's my turn to feel uncomfortable around Ariel. When I returned to the cafeteria, lunch was obviously almost over. I wonder how many minutes I was gone for. "Where did you go man?" Allen as
Alessia's POV"Do you mind, calming your nerves down abd stop prancing around the room?" Aunt Ingrid said to me, obviously tired of me disrupting her moment. After I and Collin had our altercation and I couldn't find him till the day ended, I felt a bit disoriented. Allen ditched me saying; he and Ashley have an outing together. I know I needed someone to talk to, or I might just lose my damn mind. No other person looks visible except her. I sat hurriedly on the bed edge, "how am I suppose to stay calm? He kissed someone else and I am suppose to act casual about it?" She raised a brow, "Errr, you haven't exactly told me how you went from Patrick to Collin. How about you begin with that first." I sighed in exhaustion,"aunt ingrid, maybe I thought I loved Patrick. But something different ensued the moment I met Collin. He is sweet, amazing, handsome." I chuckled at that. "He just makes me feel happy and special.""If you know all of this about him, how do you not trust him then?" Sh
Rodger's POVI had thought leaving my family would be a sad moment for me. But it's surprising how excited I am to explore the world outside. The excitement fills me up so much, I have been trying to hide it from them all to prevent them from being sad. Zipping up the bag that contains the things I consider essential and might forget if I don't area ge on time. I dumped myself into the bed, checking through my phone message notification. Ingrid had texted me saying she was almost ready.I didn't realize the time had gone that far. Sitting up with the intention of getting changed I heard a knock on my door."Who is it?" "Collin." Came the response. I should have known it to be him, he is only courteous male in the house. Who knocks before barging in on you."Come on in man." I called out excitedly, opening the door. His face looked gloomy. "What is wrong man?" Collin sighed laying his back on the bed. "I don't know Rodger, I am just having so much fear and concern for the future. I
Collin's POVDinner with the family and Ingrid went really well, we all had a good laugh. Seeing charlie and Ester, Annette and Wayne, Ingrid and Rodger all loved up despite everything going on around them and the flaws of each one of them they were happy. I had felt really hurt the other day when Alessia had looked me dead in the eye and not believe me. What bothered me the most was Ariel's threat of revealing who I really am to Alessia. I am less concerned about Ariel. What Alessia would think of me plays on my mind. "Ignore Ariel." My wolf scoffed. I guess i am not the only one irritated by her misdemeanor. Waking up this morning and making my way to school. I am determined to clear up the misunderstanding between Alessia and I. I don't mind having to follow her all through school like a lost puppy. "Someone looks lost." Patrick's voice bellowed from behind me.I had just made my way to the school hall after parting ways with Seth. Lost in my pool of thought, I didn't realize w
Alessia's POVMum woke up with a mood today, not her coming to pull me out of bed so early in the morning and asking me to get dressed. Not just any sort of dressing, but a smart one. My heart raced at the thought of me dressing smart, the last time mum had me out of the house. I was fighting for my life with the fierce looking men she and my uncle's locked me up with. I have been a bit slow lately and haven't been training right. It worries me that I might slack in a bit. Heading down the stairs, I saw Allen yawning endlessly by the couch. He looked like a sleep deprived racoon. I know I look better because I did use a mirror. As for him, he is nothing to write home about."Quit staring at me like that." Allen grumbled. Coming down the stairs with her tool bag in hand, she clapped her hands. "Get ready you both, Walter would be joining us this morning. But I need to test your speed first, and that is what we would be doing for this morning."I gave mum a once over, that woman look
Alessia's POV"Do you think we pushed them too hard?" My mum's voice sifted into my consciousness. I wonder what they are discussing. "Dad asked us to." Uncle Walter sounded tired. "We can't keep doing all that he wants. They are still just children, can't we fight this on our own without them?" Irritation laced Joxer's words. And I have never heard him speak so intelligently before. My throat felt try and painful when I tried to talk, my mouth tasted like bile. Ewww, what in the world was that? "Mum?" I called out."Baby." Mum said, sitting next to me. "She is awake!" "Water." I mused.There was a rushed movement, but I got given the water to drink. When I sat up, my head felt light. I had on to it, to keep it from falling. Even though I doubt it would, since I am no robot. Staring round the room into worried looking eyes, I asked. "What happened?" Mum sighed, "you passed out baby."That definitely was the obvious, when I looked around the room again. Allen isn't there. "Where
