Riley's P.O.V.I wander into her room as she suggested me to sleep in her room and she will stay in Lisa's room. The bed is clean where the duvet is pulled over the mattress neat like it's been ironed, the things in the room is arranged in a away that you can remember the position of every thing inside at a single glance. I stroll over to the table by the window, the object which caught my eyes placed at the edge of the table, the frame. I take the frame, the clear glass contains no dust, the family photo of four in it. My lips spread to a grin when my thumb fondle on the picture of the little girl, the charcoal small eyes still attractive... She looks to be around twelve I guess... She is standing in front of her mother and her father is beside her mother and the young boy next to Aiden.He is thin and tall his features taking after her mother, maybe this the brother whom she mentioned. I replace the frame when she enters."What are you looking at?," She asks standing beside me.
Third Person P.O.VThe twilight sky with the fading moon and stars makes the outside still chilly. The door of Aiden's room still ajar. The little gap gives him the view of the living room and the shut wooden door at the other side of the living room. Riley bends himself as he peeps through the gap, his feet tapping the floor impatiently. He has not slept in peace, for once he laid on the bed but sat up straight immediately when his alarm of three rang.He waits by the door holding onto the knob, as it's already half past five in the morning; his eyes never leave the door in his sight. The creek of the door in the silent atmosphere energies him, a spontaneous smile forms on his lips when Aiden walks out, and he examines her attire of the blue suit. He stands straight and takes a deep breath, letting it out... He pushes the door open and walks out with slow steps. "You're leaving?," He asks drowsily as he scratches the back of his neck and let's out a nervous laugh, “What a coincident
"Why the hell on earth you came here?," Aiden yells as she yanks the door of Chloe's car and gets in the driving seat."I received a call and," Riley buckles the seatbelt "They told me you're kidnapped,""Kidnapped?," She repeats aloud as she hits the steering wheel "Do you think that I can be kidnapped?," She snaps."I didn't think about it at that moment," he utters in a low voice."You could have called me right?,""I did it, numerous times but there was no answer,""You did?," She frowns taking out the phone from the blazer coat’s pocket, she switches it on "There was no signal I guess, luckily it worked for once," she inserts the phone back in the pocket "I'll get someone to take your car," she starts the engine."Whose car is this?," He breaks the long remained silent."Chloe's," she blurts her eyes never leaving the windscreen."Had a great time together?," Riley asks.The red light illumes by a roundabout, she faces him "Not bad.""Not bad, does it mean it's good?,"She takes a
“Why does he look stunning all of a sudden? Why are my eyes taking a glance at him every second?” Aiden thinks, her eyes never leaving Riley who stands forward.Aiden sits among the three families who helped them to open a lawsuit, the families who were effected by the Aim’s chemical. she keeps her legs in place as it spreads beyond her control, she definitely would have purchased a men suit if her size was available but unfortunately it wasn’t... It’s really uncomfortable... Harry enters the room after the request of sudden witness is granted, he stands in the witness box and looks at Aiden, she passes an assuring smile... The questionnaire begins...Harry declares his identity of being an employee in the warehouse, he was working in the lab testing the medication, he offended when he found something wrong which put his life in danger. He explains that Johnson has nothing to do with the drug added because it’s one of the stock purchased by the company.Aiden moves forward in int
Aiden’s gaze swivels around the almost empty ward, the noise of sliding doors and footsteps only to be heard, her pounding heart echoes in her ears as she stares at the red bulb above the door, the room in which Blake is treated. She is seated on the five row of chairs in front of the door, Lisa beside her. Her left cheek on Aiden’s right shoulder, her left arm wrapped around Aiden’s waist and her right hand on Aiden’s lap buried in her palms.Aiden moves her hand away from Lisa’s, she lifts Lisa’s head slow, holding onto her she stands. Gently she lays Lisa on the connected row of chairs. She squats down and removes Lisa’s shoes, she lifts her legs on the chairs. Riley stands straight moving away from the wall, he watches Aiden with knitted brows. He holds her hand when she walks pass him.“What are you doing?,” He asks stepping closer.“I gotta go,” Aiden snaps, rage flaring in her veins.“Where to?,” Riley looks at her for a second “I’m going with you,” he sighs.He lets g
Aiden’s P.O.VTwo days passed since Harry’s funeral, Blake came back to consciousness last night. I look straight at Riley, he focuses on eating, his abnormal silence makes me uncomfortable, he really releases the gloomy aura. That night after the hug he uttered no word unless I ask him any questions. He just coldly answers in brief and ends the conversation, he has been slamming the doors shut and sometimes dropping things to the floor but when I ask him what’s the matter he says nothing... I get his message, he is mad at me... I tried to talk to him but didn’t have the time as I spent more time in the hospital to let Lisa rest.Riley does his dishes and walks out the kitchen like I never existed. Letting out a low sigh I stand to follow him.“Riley,” I call out... He doesn’t stop and walks to my room.“Riley, wait,” my voice comes out loud this time, he finally stops near the bed.“Why the hell on earth are you so mad?,” I look at him when he turns around to face me.“Don’t y
Third Person P.O.VThe moving vehicles are watched by the pair of charcoal orbs for a while, Aiden lets out a sigh and gets up from the bench when the bus to home arrives, she looks around one more time and keeps a step ahead, she stops when the familiar sound of horn hits her ear drums... A smile sweeps across her lips as she spins, she walks to the car her eyes never leaves Riley who watches her through the windscreen... She gets in and buckles up the seatbelt...“Are you mad at me?,” Riley asks.“Nope, Why?,” her thin brows meet, she moves forward from the seat and looks at him curiously.“Because I’m late,” he shrugs.“Why should I be mad just because you are late? It’s obvious that you’re late because you went to get the car,” she raises her brows questionably.Riley curls in his lower lip with his tongue and stares at her for a second, his mind trying to analyse his next statement “Never mind,” he exhales, scratching the back of his head he looks straight at the windscree
Aiden scurries in pulls the man who was about to beat Eric’s head with a baton in his hand, she turns him, her fists clutter on his face and puts a hole in his stomach. The man hits the ground and the other four men march towards her. Before they lay a finger on her, Riley lunges in and throws a punch at the man closer to her. Eric looks up taken back, his eyes wide surprised, the only question in his head: What are they doing?The five men fight against the two but couldn’t lay a finger on them. One of the men steps aside and tramples nearer to Eric, he pops a pocket knife. Eric pushes him when the knife cuts his hand meat, the man cocks the knife and hops forward. In a blink of an eye the man is pushed to the wall, Riley gets a good hold on him and shoves him against the wall. The five men flee out. Riley adjusts the collar of his shirt, he clears his throat and turns to meet Aiden to question about her actions.“Aiden sissy,” the little boy runs to her. He hugs her legs and looks
