Chapter 30
I snacked off some chips while trying to understand my conflicting thoughts but I ended up dozing off on the couch right after I finished the packet of chips. The TV was still on when I woke up two hours later. The haze of sleep dissipated from my eyes as I tried to refocus on the living room area. The empty packet of chips was lying down on the floor. It was already three o’clock in the afternoon. I drank some water and rinse my face before deciding that Lea needed to be woken up. She has been asleep for three hours now. She missed breakfast and lunch. She has to eat something.
End of flashback:
I dried up my hands once I finished rinsing the last plate.
I walked back upstairs to apologize to Lea for my past actions but I halted with my hand on the doorknob once I reached my bedroom. Should I just go in or wait for her to come out? I bit my lower lip as I lifted my right hand to knock on the door. After waiting for a while, I fro

Is it because I have never been in the same room as a guy?My father never allowed me to have any friends and has always been watching me and whenever some people talked to me back in my high school, he was already aware of it by the time I get back home. I never got the chance to tell him that I wasn’t the one who initiated the talk and that people was embarrassed to be seen with me. Only new students, who did not know that I wasn’t the person they should be approaching, stopped to talk to me or even spared me a glance. I never spoke back though. I was supposed to be mute. My father never gave me a chance to explain. He only shouted at me with his punches.So, having a relationship or even befriending a guy was just out of question. I never really thought of befriending one. I was scared of what my father would have done to the guy even if someone would have been interested with me. I knew no one really saw me as girlfriend material back at my high school

Ryder’s point of view:I clenched my jaw when I saw her stepping away from me.I wasn’t going to hurt her. I know that trusting a stranger is not easy but since Jason left her here for protection, she should at least have some trust in me. I agree that I should not have made that comment last night but still.Fuck this! I am going insane with my thoughts. They are messing with my head. Why should I worry about her? She’s here to be under the protection and care of my brother, not me. I just need to watch over her until my brother returns back from whatever unexpected case he had to fucking tend to.Thinking about my shitty brother, I’ll have to deal with him once he’s back.I fisted my hands as I felt a familiar emotion simmering from inside of me. I felt my jaw ticked in anger but I grounded my teeth together to rein in my anger. After a while of debating whether to just leave her in her misery or to

Ryder’s point of view:I mentally cussed at myself for forgetting the reason why I came upstairs in the first place. I needed to apologize to her for my comment last night, my behavior this morning and for making her wounded right wrist worst.I squeezed my eyes tightly shut before opening my mouth.“Look, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what I said last night. I’m sorry about my harsh behavior this morning and I’m sorry about this.” I apologized before I could have had a change of mind.After asking for forgiveness, I let out a breath that I had been holding in. I hesitated before eventually looking up.She pulled her right hand away. I let her hand slip away from my hold.“I-It’s o-okay.” She stuttered out cautiously as she glanced up.Our eyes met. I gulped. I couldn’t look away. She has the most beautiful electrifying blue eyes I had ever seen. Her drenche

Lea’s point of view: I walked downstairs towards the noise echoing in the silent house and it led me to the kitchen area. I stopped by the kitchen door as my eyes fell on Ryder’s back. He had a red kitchen apron on which was tied back around his waist. He was standing by the sink and chopping something. When he glanced over his shoulders to look at me, I couldn’t help but shiver as I played with my quivering fingers with my eyes casted downwards. I felt his stare on me, sending cold yet hot shivers up my spine. I swallowed hard as I felt a lump formed in my throat. I felt my heartbeats rise up when I tried to muster up enough courage to talk to him once again. I did not want to stutter but I did once I opened my mouth. After asking if I could talk to Jason, he dialed Jason’s number before giving me his phone. I hesitated before taking it out of his hold. I was afraid he might yell at me for asking to speak to Jason. Multiple scary tho

I have a hard time believing that Ryder isn’t what he pretends to be yet; I did not want to misjudge him for I have been wrongly judged my whole life by other people. I can’t misjudge someone else. I can’t become those people who simply judge someone based on what they see. I need to know Ryder before making any judgment about him. Yet, I was not ready to approach him. I felt insecure. I don’t know why but I felt like I wanted Ryder to have a good impression of me.Judging from his rigid back, I believe I just made the best impression already. He must have heard my conversation and I really hope that he wouldn’t be angry at me. Anyone else in his place would feel bad hearing me badmouthing them while staying with them in their own house. I bit my lower lip as I thought of how stupid I acted by complaining about him to Jason.Ryder’s point of view:What the hell? Yes, I am a stranger but come on; we haven&rsquo

Ryder's point of view:I winced when the large knife I had cut the chicken with slipped from my hand. It made a stabbing noise as it fell down by the side of the sink. Fucking hell! I picked it up to dispose of it in the sink to avoid any accidents. I washed my hands before checking on the soup. It was boiling. I stir it with a big ladle. I placed the cover lid on and reduced the flame to low. I checked my mom’s recipe. I had to leave it on low flame for about fifteen to twenty minutes.The moment I pulled the sleeves of my hoodie midway up my forearms to turn the kitchen tap on and continue washing the dirty dishes, I heard a clashing sound from behind me.Alarmingly, I swiftly turned around to find Lea falling down. I rushed to catch her. The moment I caught her, her body went slack with her hair covering half of her face. She fainted. She felt heavier than last night. I quickly wounded my left arm around the back of her knees and lifted

I really hope everything is okay with her. I sat down on one of the chairs aligning the wall, my eyes fixed on the closed door of the room where I had left Lea. The doctor was inspecting her right now. It was already six o’clock in the evening. My right leg bounced as I waited. I would always do this whenever I feel impatient. After five minutes of trying to sit still, I stood back up. Why was it taking so long? I thought as I glanced at the door while walking to and fro outside the room.A scream from inside stopped me in dead in my tracks.Without thinking, I burst inside the room to find Lea struggling against the two nurses trying to hold her to the bed.“What are you doing?” I asked, my voice raising an octave.“Who allowed you in? You need to step out.” The doctor warned me.Before I could refute him, Lea intervened.“Ryder!” She screamed my name painfully.Seeing her relaxed posture, th

“Don’t you dare hey me! Where the hell have you been, bro? I’ve been fucking calling you since like forever.” Jake exclaimed. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at his over-dramatic self. “I had my phone on silence.” I said. If I hadn’t lied, he would have never stopped complaining about my ignorant ass. “Did you forget?” he asked. “Forget what?” I frowned in confusion. I probed my mind thinking about what I might have forgotten. “Max?” He tried to see if I remembered by simply telling me about Max. Max? What about Max? Just then, I remembered that last night at the party, we had decided to pay Max a visit at the hospital today. “I’m already at the hospital. Where are you?” I lied as I squeezed my eyes shut. How could I forget about Max? The fuck is wrong with me? “What? You left without informing us. Anyway, we are almost reaching the hospital.” He said before cutting the call. He sounded
