Aaron's pov.Contrary to how my parents and lovely sister advised me to act towards Solene.I acted differently.When I received the invitation from Vale, the first thing that came to my mind was, this is an opportunity for me to fix things between us.Nothing was broken in the first place, I wouldn't say we were friends.Sometimes, she doesn't even treat me as a friend. Just someone she bumped into and had an encounter with.I immediately asked Vale if Solene was going to be there as well.“You bet she will, I'm sure she's looking forward to seeing you as well.”That was how I found myself, looking for the perfect outfit to wear for the party.I'm not really a party person, except on occasions like the corporate party that Alfred Campbell hosted.I am well acquainted with that type of party due to my family's involvement in several.When she opened the door, I just couldn't play along with what I had in mindA new version of me replaced the one that wanted to be in Solene's good grac

Solene's pov.People started filing into Vale's apartment when the sun was a place orange in the sky.Most of which were his hockey teammates from school and some of Anika's friends as well that came to grace the party.No one came from my side, I wouldn't actually count Aaron as he didn't get his invitation from me.Anika has dragged me to a corner in the kitchen when the number of guests had increased to about fifteen.Vale decided that it was time to start with some soft music to keep the party alive.Right before the heat would be tuned up.“So.” She screeched excitedly.“How did it go while we were away?” I rolled my eyes in annoyance, if only they knew how bored I was out of my mind.Aaron just busied himself with doing a couple of things on his phone, which I knew was boring To him, watching how penguins mate was more interesting than holding a conversation with me.“The worst decision you and Vale ever made was to leave me with him, shit didn't happen.”Her eyes became sombe

Solene's pov.I have only been with one person my entire life, maybe two. But I wouldn't really count what I had with Vale as some kind of relationship.So, it's difficult for me to understand how the minds of guys work.I already spoke to Susan Mathews and she clarified that Aaron had nothing to do with me getting the internship into her program.I decided to wait for an entire day before I called him.All day he didn't pick, and twice he sent it to voicemail.“What is he trying to do? Okay hard to get.” I asked and answered my own question.I was at Vale's place. Anika and I were helping him set up his apartment for his birthday party.He's the only friend I have and the only one I can rant to.Alfred would have been nice to have this kind of conversation with.Whatever he knows about my lovelife,would be related to Noah.The last thing I wanted was Noah butting into my love life.“Would you really blame the guy?” Vale said from the ladder he was on. He was arranging a fancy lime al

Mallory's pov.My mouth hung open in the biggest surprise as I listened to Barbara relay how uncle Alfred has helped her come up with plans before handIf I wasn't impressed, then I was bloody lying. Who knew she had it in her? “Wow, mom, you've completely and totally rendered me speechless right now. Are you for real?”She flung her hair back stylishly, her eyes glowed with so much excitement.I am so glad she took this bold step, I would have been cooked for real.She touched my face with the rip of her fingers.“You called me mom.” Tears were at the brim of her eyes.I shrugged my shoulders.“Well, you are my mom, what else was I supposed to call you?”The tears spilled out of her eyelids ceaselessly “You haven't called me mom in years.”Damn, who knew Barbara could be such a cry baby, she always held her head high like she didn't give a shit about anything.I realised I haven't given her a proper apology for the things I put her through.“I know the past years.”She put a hand t

Mallory's pov.I'm going to kill him, that stupid Dean, he used me.Made a fool of me, wasted my years of efforts and commitment on him.My elbow grazed the block when he threw me out.I packed my hair away from my face, fuck.No one in the neighborhood came out despite my cries and shouts.They are all so fucked up.I stood up and brushed the dirt off my body.The tears refused to come out of my eyes.It was lodged in my throat, in my chest.I was shattered beyond recognition, I can't believe this is actually happening to me.I let myself be used by a man, used, and torn apart like a piece of rag.My feet crunched something metallic as I made to leave.Staying in the same atmosphere as Dean was choking me more than the betrayal.I had to leave.On a closer look, it was the key to the car.I let out a puff of air from my lungs, it was draining to even breathe.So, this was the only thing I gotOh god. Barbara's going to make so much fun of me.She warned me, they all did.Noah, uncle
