? Adrian's POV ?
This is surprising. I know Aiden's friends. The first guy I saw was the guy I met at the mall and the second guy was the one I met at the cemetery. I was really surprised.
"Adrian, you've met my friends before?", Aiden asked.
"This is the guy I met at the mall", I said pointing to the guy. "And this is the guy I met at the cemetery", I said pointing at the second guy.
"Is this your sister?", the guy I met at the mall said looking at me angrily.
"Yes. Adrian this is Anthony, my friend", Aiden introduced him. "And this is Adam, my other friend."
"Hi, I'm Adrian", I said and smiled sheepishly at Anthony but he looked like he is gonna kill me anytime soon. "Adam, I'm Adrian. It's nice to see you again."
"The pleasure is mine", Adam said and kissed the back of my hands.
"Ugh... Can we just go now?", Anthony said obviously annoyed.
"But I don't see anyone holding you", I said raisin
? Adrian's POV ?"How was your fisrt day at school", Mum asked during dinner."It was great, Mum", I said grinning.We continued eating but I noticed Mum was feeling uncomfortable like she have something to say."Say it mum", I blurted out and Mum & Aid looked at me."What is it?", Mum asked."You look like something is on your mind. Tell us about it.""Oh! I have something to tell you two", she said and Aid sat upright to listen. "Don't freak out.""We won't", I promised and Aiden nodded."From now on, you'd be going everywhere with bodyguards.""Bodyguards?", Aiden asked confused."Yes baby. You won't go anywhere without bodyguards with you.""But why?", I asked her."It's for your protection darling", she replied."Protection from what?", Aiden asked."You know what?", Mum said and we listened. "The both of you won't ask any mo
? Adrian's POV ?I woke up feeling a heavy hand on me. I opened my eyes and saw Aiden sleeping peacefully beside me. He was very handsome even with his messy hair falling on his face. Then I remembered when Mum came into the room yesterday, she was worried. I pushed the thought to the back of my mind and woke Aiden."Aid", I called shaking him gently. "Wake up. It's morning.""I don't want to. I still want to sleep", he responded still sleepy."No, you won't. We have to go to school.""I don't feel like going to school. Let's just take the day off.""No, we won't take the day off. Get up", I said pulling him but he didn't respond. I went to the bathroom and put water in my right hand and placed the left hand under it. I went back to the room and sprinkle the water on him."Hey. What's that for?", he said jumping out of bed."It's for you to wake up out of your sleep and get ready for school", I said
? Adrian's POV ?I have been at home for a month now. School's been amazing. I still frustrate Anthony but it has reduced a bit. Dad is still not back from his business trip. I kinda miss him but I'm happy he is not around. The security around the house has been doubled if not tripled. Bodyguards everywhere except the rooms.I've been thinking about the girl that looks like Karen since the day I saw her. I've even tried looking all over the school but it's like she is not in existence.I woke up that morning feeling like something good will happen. I was really happy that I didn't get mad at Aiden for getting up late. I just shrugged it off.We got to the school really late and the students still shout as usual. I wonder if they don't have anything to do because they are always there when we arrive. I checked the group of students checking for the Karen lookalike and still didn't see her. "Maybe it's just my imagination", I tho
? Anthony's POV ?"Babe don't go. You are my oxygen", I said mockingly but I truly mean it. Aiden and I laughed really hard and I noticed Adam was not even moved by my joke. "What's wrong man? What's with the long face?""Nothing", he said looking away."Ohh! Did the almighty Adam Sussman get himself rejected by a girl?", Aiden asked playfully making Adam glare dangerously at him. "Woah! This is serious", he said and moved closer to Adam."It's obviously serious", I responded and moved to Adam as well. I wanted to touch his forehead to check if he has fever but he slapped my hand away. "Chill man, what have I done?"He didn't reply and left the classroom slamming the door making the classroom shake."What the hell was that?", Aiden asked."I have no idea. Did I do something to him?""You should ask him.""He's like that because he likes Adrian and the both of you are making fun of her", Eric s
? Adrian's POV?"That girl is beautiful", Ruby commented on our way home."She really is. Just like Karen", I told her."I think you should clear your name off Karen's murder.""What do you mean by that?""You know what I mean, Adrian. You do.""Of course I do but I'm not sure.""Follow your instincts girl. That's where your answer lies", she said and continued driving. "Training starts today. You'll go home and change and I'll take you to the training center.""Why can't we train at home?", I asked."Oh! You want your Mum to chop off my head for harming her daughter, right?""My Mum is not like that, Ruby.""Really? Have you met your Mum? She would kill anyone that tries to hurt her children. Even your Dad.""Have you seen Dad before?""Your dad is a great man. He helped me through school. My parents couldn't send me and my brother to college but your Dad did and t
? Adrian's POV ?I woke up feeling really tired. It feels like my bones are broken due to the training the day before. Thank God it's Saturday. I can't bring myself to go to school. I opened my eyes reluctantly and I noticed I was not in my room. I slept in Aiden's."Are you kidding me? You guys are still in bed. This is 11 o'clock", Mum shouted as soon as she came into the room. "Now get up." She pulled the cover."Mummy. Today is Saturday. Let's just sleep a little bit more", Aiden said and I totally agreed with him."Mum, just go to work. We'd be fine", I said dragging my words."I took the day off to spend sometime with the both of you. Now up", she said this time hitting us very hard. "Lazy bones."Aiden and I groaned out of frustration but we got up. I went to my room to bath. I lie in the tub for long that I didn't even realize how many minutes I used in there."Adrian, how many minutes does it take you to bath? You've been in
? Adrian's POV ?Mum fainted."Cassie!", Dad called and rushed over to mum's side."Mum!", Aiden and I shouted but Mum wasn't responding."Someone get the ambulance!", Dad shouted to no one is particular and Aiden picked his phone to make the call. " Cassie", Dad called again.The ambulance arrived and Mum was carried to the hospital. Dad, Aiden and I took a car and followed the ambulance to the hospital.We waited outside the emergency ward for the doctors to be through with attending to Mum. None of us could say a word, we just stood waiting. I was silently sending prayers above for my Mum to be safe.The doctor, a man probably in his late fifties with brown hair having a few strands of grey and putting on a lab coat, came over and we moved closer to him."How is she?", Dad asked impatiently."Calm down, Mr Kendall. Your wife is perfectly okay. She just had a heart attack but it's just a minor one. She is currently asle
? Anthony's POV?Adrian looked at me with glassy eyes and she ran off. I just can't believe she beat me up. Wonderful! I wanted to stand up but couldn't. I felt pain all over my body.Aiden and Adam came over to my side to help me up."I'm sorry about that", Aiden said."It's okay but what did I do? I don't understand.""Let's get you cleaned up first. You look horrible", Aiden said and Adam chuckled."What's funny?", I raised an eyebrow."I can't just believe you got beaten by a girl.""Ha ha. So funny", I said with a high level of sarcasm. I started walking and with every step I took, it's like my bones are broken. We went to the school clinic since we were still in the school premises. The nurse cleaned my wounds and gave me some drugs to use. I went back to the changing room and changed back to my clothes."So, will you tell me what that was all about?", I asked Aiden.He sighed and said. "You might want to sit
