ELLIEWho the heck was she? And why was she speaking to Aiden in such an endearing manner? I didn’t know if it was still the booze or just sheer jealousy. But then, why would I be jealous? He was my freaking stepbrother for crying out loud.“Ellie, just calm down for a second, alright?” Aiden looked like he wasn’t going to back off anytime soon. “What the heck has gotten into you lately?”“You wanna know what has gotten into me so bad?” I had lost coordination of both my words and my body as well. “Yeah…” Aiden maintained, still trying to keep his voice down in order not to create a scene right there and then. “Why don’t you go away, then I might just get better, because the last thing I need right now is having you around me,” I said, not knowing why I was so mad at him. Seeing that girl still standing beside him was making me even angrier by the second. Why wouldn’t she back away even though she saw that we were arguing? She still stood, staring like she was enjoying the scener
ELLIEThe three boys were coming at me with hostility in their steps. I couldn't see any way out for me as the fourth person was coming at me as well. Things were about to get even more fucked up as it looked like I was going to get. “There’s nowhere to run sweetheart. It's just us in here.” The ringleader of the boys repeated as they were closing in on me. My first option was to get something to defend myself with. But I just couldn't see anything in sight. It was almost looking like it was just a lost cause. “Come here…” he was closing the distance between us in a quite frightful manner, but I was able to get myself moving through the right spaces in between the rows of seats. Soon enough, my courageous spur of energy was snuffed out by one of the pervs who had closed in on me from the other side. Before I could turn, I felt one of them against my back. “Let go of me…” I let out, as I felt an annoying pair of hands come on my breasts. He squeezed with such voracity, as he was t
AIDEN“Put her down…! Now!” I let out angrily with a folded fist.Surely, a volcano was about to erupt within me as I watched Ellie being wrapped up in Kai's arms like they were a romantic couple that couldn't get enough of each other.The sight of them being together seemed to spell out the hopelessness of the dream I had of having Ellie to myself. There just wasn't anything that could be more painful at that point. “Aiden, could you just relax so I could explain everything to you?” Kai requested, being totally unaware of the volcano that was brewing up on my insides. “She was in danger and I just happened to be there in time to save her from those goons that tried to forcefully screw her in the basketball court.”Those words did little to water down the anger that nearly ate me up from inside. It felt like she was going to be his for life. There just weren't any words to describe what exactly I was feeling at the moment.I noticed the look in Ellie's eyes, which almost looked like
ELLIE“We're here…” Kai announced as he looked at me with a smile.My heart knew no peace until Kai pulled the car over in front of the house. It had been a suspense-filled ride, as I had laid flat in the backseat, hoping that we weren't going to get caught by Aiden's mother or even worse get pulled over by the cops.“For real? That was fast…” I let out as I finally sat up in the chair and looked around to make sure I hadn't been taken to the wrong location. “You surely are a delivery guy.”“Well, I just know the quickest ways to get things done,” Kai said as he was in a hurry to get out of the car. He hurried and opened the door for me to head out. “Do you still need me to carry you in my arms?” He asked teasingly. “Maybe…” I wouldn't mind being carried all the way into the bed in my room. My body was longing for that feeling of security that only Kai's arms could give me. “Just one last time…”“Alright then,” he said, with his arms ready to receive my body into them one more time.
ELLIE“Who could that be…?” I asked, as Kai and I were beginning to scramble out of the bed and the room to know who it could have been. There were just too many things on my mind for me to be able to think of a way out of that predicament.“Oh fuck…” Kai let out as he made for the door. “The car probably got spotted. I have to go now.”“But we don't know who it could be…” I was hoping that it hadn't been Aiden at the door. I knew just how destructive he could get if he saw just me and Kai all alone in the house. “There could be a lot of trouble if it's Aiden.” He had totally read my mind with that statement. “I have to head out through the back while you check out who it is.”“Alright…” I said, as we both hurried out of the room and made our way down the stairs. My heart was racing almost as fast as my feet were. My mind was racing with the thoughts of the worst-case scenarios. The doorbell chimed again and that shot in yet another dose of urgency into my feet as I hoped it wasn't
AIDEN“I told you never to show up here again. What the heck are you doing here?” My anger amplified with each passing moment, at the sight of Sherry standing right there. I had snuck out of school so I could come to see Ellie and make things right with her, only to be met by one of the stumbling blocks of my past… a couple of months.There had been some other stumbling blocks, but I was trying my very best to get myself away from them. It was just one of the many habits that I was trying to get over as soon as possible. But now it was starting to become my downfall. I was trying to leave my old playboy ways, but it was now coming after me in ways unimaginable. It was going to be hard getting Ellie to be quiet about it in the current state of things between us. “Aiden, I'm really sorry that I was harsh towards your sister… I just couldn't bear the thought of seeing you with someone else.” the way Sherry muttered those words like we were some sort of couple was rather annoying. “Ple
AIDEN“I’m almost there, alright?” I said on the phone, as I was walking through the neighborhood where the weekend party was happening. One of the biggest kids in the school was holding a birthday party and had been anxious to have me over there. Ellie was almost not talking to me at all ever since the last kiss we’d had. The house was suddenly the most uncomfortable place for me to be. I was almost trying to get as far away from the house as I could. I was tired of being in the same house with the cause of my pain. But then, I still had my eyes on Kai. I hadn’t seen him getting closer to her in recent times. Even at that, I was still sure that they could have possibly set up a couple of secret meetings in school. The thought of it all had me drawing closer to the brink of losing my mind.Hence that night was very necessary for me to get a lot of things off my head. I wanted to get wasted and get out of my present predicament, even for a couple of hours before coming back to face i
ELLIE“Are you sure about this?” I asked again, feeling unsure of the sudden decision to hop in on the party. But then, there were just a lot of things that made me want to stay. One of them being the free liquor.“Trust me, Ellie. I'm here with you, alright?” Kai reassured me. He had been able to sneak me out of my room through the window to get me there. That turned out to be the outcome of the back-and-forth texting we had been doing in the last couple of hours. I was beginning to get quite used to having Kai around and I wondered if that was a good thing or not.I had told him that I had been feeling a bit down and that I needed some company. The news of my mother's release had me doing all sorts of odd things to get away from the harsh reality that awaited me. And that party happened to be one of them, even though Kai was taking it as some sort of outing for us to bond. All those secret thoughts I kept to myself were bound to keep me from enjoying the moment like I was meant to
