Voir plusADRIAN'S POV The word regret was an understatement. I decided to help Austin live right after the death of his father but never did he imagine that he only worsened the case. All over the years, he had been hurting, crying and feeling bitter but he thought he had made the right choice, in as much Austin could be happy. Each time Austin fought with him or talked to him harshly, his heart would ache but there was always a part of him that would always commend him for a job well done until he saw Austin in the bar alone that night. While he was taking him home, a tear suddenly ran down Austin's face and he was surprised to see that so he asked. "Are you okay?" Austin looked at him and smiled bitterly "I just miss my old friend. How I wish life wasn't so cruel on us like this." He mumbled and closed his eyes as another tear rolled down. "You see, I wished I could turn back the hands of time and stop that incident from happening. If only I hadn't gone inside to write my assignment that
AUSTIN'S POV When I opened my eyes, my head was bandaged and I was lying in bed in a hospital! I looked around with surprise written on my face. Why am I here?The last thing I remembered was driving and then... Everything went blank. Did I hit someone? I clearly didn't. Did I crash my car? Maybe that was the case~I was still deep in thought when I heard the door open and a doctor came in, accompanied by Adrian. I stared at Adrian for a while, my mind messy and my heart ached. His hands were stained with blood which I knew was mine. "You saved me?" I asked softly and he nodded. The doctor finally got to my side and checked me "I'm glad you are up, Austin. You were almost..." He stopped and let out a deep breath "I've never seen anyone who would happily embrace death like you before. It was like you had no will to live anymore and no matter how hard we tried to wake up, you refused to wake up." The doctor seemed frustrated as he scolded me. of course, after what happened then, I
AUSTIN'S POV"What do you have to say? How dare you talk about that day again, Adrian?" I asked him, disappointment obvious in my tone. "Do you know what my only regret is?" I asked but didn't wait for him to reply. "It's that I didn't hand you over to those policemen then and that I didn't tell my mother or anyone about what you did to my father!' I yelled, grabbing his clothes."Do you even know why I did that?" A bitter smile lingered on my lips. "It's because..." I stopped and laughed bitterly, tears rolling down my eyes "Even though I saw you killing my father, I still saw you as a friend. I still wanted to protect my only friend and even though I knew my father would hate me for it, I chose you over my father, Adrian!" I yelled, pushing him away.I staggered backwards as more tears rolled down my eyes. I had been finding it difficult to accept that word since I lost my father. I couldn't believe that I really chose Adrian over my father as it was the silliest thing a kid could h
AUSTIN'S POV After a while, I stood up from the bed and entered the bathroom. No matter how much I felt sad and guilty toward my father, I knew I had to visit him as he would be lonely without me. I could get there and ask for his forgiveness while also letting him know that I would discard any silly feelings toward Adrian, his killer. He loved Adrian so much when he was alive so he might not be too angry with me. I took a bath and returned to my room where I wore black trousers and a shirt, keeping my gun on my waist. According to Jason, I shouldn't go anywhere without my licensed gun especially when I had been receiving threat letters for days already. I got the first one in training and the one who read it was Jason, I got the second one in school and the third one was received today. I wondered who the coward was but it didn't matter. If they happen to show up in front of me, I wouldn't hesitate to put an end to their miserable lives and make them pay for trying to bully me wi
AUSTIN'S POVTwo months later.Adrian and I continued our weekly lovemaking, sealing our deal. At first, I hated it and it made me hate him more but as time went on, I no longer felt the anger anymore... Sadly, I at times waited impatiently for that day.Tine continued acting strange, always fighting with Adrian's friends while telling me to stay away from Adrian. He would sometimes waylay them to beat them up with other guys. So many times, I would want to chastise him but I wouldn't be able to... It was complicated. I feared that if I defended Adrian and his friends, They might find out about my feelings toward him and that was something I wasn't ready to deal with.It was my father's death anniversary and like every year, I needed to visit him but I was just too scared to do that. I had betrayed him and disappointed him by having things to do with the person who killed him. I was even developing feelings for that kind of person.I was supposed to bring his killer to justice but not
TINE'S POVAustin being an introvert did not leave us many choices about his victory. If there was anything that could tip the scale in his favour, it would be his good looks and his gentle smile but with that half-blind director, I felt like that might not work either. Everyone stared at him with bated breath, hoping he would at least try his best while also hoping that the Director wouldn't insult him the same way he insulted others who didn't do well. However... Everyone was stunned by his acting. No one believed he could be so good at acting. His confidence, his actions, his demeanour, and even the way he handled the sword were great! Fantastic! Even the Director seemed stunned. The way Austin swirled under the dim light, the reflection of his face under that light was hypnotizing even for a guy like me. I felt my heart racing repeatedly, drawn in by his face and my eyes fell on his lips, causing me to swallow hard. Kelvin held my hand and I turned around to look at him "Austi
AUSTIN'S POVAfter an hour, the hall outside Jason's dressing room was already filled with actors and actresses who came to audition for the drama.I turned around to look at Adrian, who seemed undisturbed by everything that was happening, unlike me, who was slightly nervous about the whole thing. Seeing so many people at a place and all of them looking so different from each other."It's time." A man came in to tell us and we all nodded.I had been learning the script for a while, trying to perfect my actions with the help of John and Jason. Adrian was practising his top and according to them, we were doing well although I knew Adrian did better.They finally called Adrian away and my heart started racing, we all followed him to the audition room and sat down there to watch him.Adrian went on stage. "I'm Adrian Beckett, Auditioning for the role of Alexander." He introduced as he picked up the script.He stared at it for a second and signalled for a man to come over. He handed the sc
AUSTIN'S POV It was strange, my body started reacting strangely the moment I set my eyes on Adrian. I was supposed to hate his presence in the room but somehow, I loved it...Looking at him around me made me feel relaxed and that was when I realized it had been a while since I last saw him. I missed him and even though I had been denying it, I knew deep down in me that I wanted to see him again. I was secretly staring at him until Tine suddenly lost his mind and decided to beat him up. It was nice at first as I imagined seeing him getting beaten would bring me back to my senses but with everyone in the room, I couldn't let that happen. I had to stop the fight even though I was unwilling to and soon, he walked over to me and called my name, asking me to come with him for a talk. Being alone with him triggered something in me and before I knew it, I was kissing him as if my life depended on him and he kissed me back until I remembered where we were and had to stop the kiss. As much
ADRIAN'S POV I had no idea what was going on in his mind but before I knew it, he kissed me so passionately that my body burned. I felt hot from within and I couldn't control myself. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back, deepening the kiss while my right hand moved down her back. He pulled back a little and held my shirt, he removed the first button and moved his lips down my chin, wetting and kissing my chin. His hands found their way to my head and he moved his mouth down, kissing my neck. He was just deepening the kiss on my neck when he suddenly stopped and pulled away. "What? Why?" I questioned, staring at him with raised brows. He turned around abruptly and ran his fingers through his hair. "That was my mistake." He mumbled and walked toward the door, ready to leave. Unable to take his silly attitude after what he did to me, I rushed after him and stood in front of him. "Mistake? Your mistake? Have you lost your mind?!" I yelled at him. Fortunately, the
