13. Forest green
In the last couple of days, Damien had really become like a family.
How?
Whether you are eating, taking an afternoon nap, or just brushing your teeth. This guy would be there. He would pop out of nowhere at times just to greet me and let me know that he would be helping my mom or just playing video games with Joey.
And guess what? My parents don't mind it at all. Damien is way more in my house than he is in his own. You would be walking down the stairs and he would be walking upstairs casually saying 'Hi' like he belongs here.
Not like I mind. But it is bothering me a lot than it should.
At times, I cannot help but wonder that a day might come when I'd walk through the front door and my parents would be like, "Do you want anything?" And I'd be like, "Come on, I live here."
No seriously.
I was snapped out of my train of thoughts when mom placed my breakfast in front of me. I glanced up at Damien who was digging in his food. He looked u

I stepped out of the car and sighed looking down at my feet. Damien came and put his hand on my shoulders, "Don't worry. We’ll look into it later, okay?" I nodded at him. I am thankful I have him right now. We entered the school together. I didn't even take two steps when Valentino appeared beside me and slung his arm around my shoulders, "Hey Amelia, how are you?" I looked at his arms and raised my eyebrows at him. He noticed it and raised his hands in mock surrender, "I won't do it if you mind it." "I won't mind it if it is in a friendly way." He grinned and threw his arms again on my shoulders, "It is then." "Where are Shane and Max?" I asked. Valentino sighed while Damien beside me tried to not laugh, "what is it?" I asked. Valentino growled, "All these jerks, who call themselves my friends are too busy with their girls to give me any more attention. I'm like
Broke My Heart 15. Cherishing the moment
I knocked on the door and entered. Dad who was sitting suddenly jolted up. He looked at me nervously, "princess?" "Dad, can I borrow your laptop? Mine has gone for repair and I need to do my assignment." He looked at me nervously. Don't worry Dad, I won't ask you. Not right now. "Sure... sure princess take it. You don't have to ask." He shot me a smile that didn't reach his eyes. I nodded at him and taking the laptop I stepped out of the room. As soon as I stepped out I heaved a sigh. Mom and Dad are hiding something from me. About me. Today in the morning too, I could see it. What if I am... No, I can't be! It can't be! I can't be adopted, can I? I need someone to talk to. But who? Damien? But he was still not back from his detention. Then who? Joey? He is the only person who doesn't have anything to do. I made my way for help towar
Broke My Heart 16. I am not your sister
"Are you fine?" Damien asked breaking me from my trance. The car had stopped, I looked around and found we were back home. It was late at night as I could clearly see the stars. I turned my head towards him and forced a tired smile at him, "Yeah I'm fine, what made you ask?""Well, since we left your grandmother's place, you've been very quiet... and as much as I wanted to ask you what happened in there, what she said. I kept quiet because I thought you didn't want to talk about it at that time... But seeing you like this is killing me. So, what is it? What did she say?"I was fidgeting with my hands when he put his hands on mine, I looked up at him, "What did she say? That's the problem, Damien, she said her mother never wore contact lenses. Do you know what that means?"His grip tightened on my hand before slowly nodding his head in caution.I sighed, "I don't know why she is lying to me. And when I asked grandma about the reason for this," I pointed to
Broke My Heart 17. Let me go
I looked around the room once again and finally turned to the only person I wasn't expecting here. Indeed a surprise. I moved towards the exit where Elena was standing. I didn't want to talk to her right now. No one in their right mind would do. Just as I reached the handle, Elena took hold of my wrist, "Aha," she shook her head, "Where do you think you're going? Sorry sweetheart, you ain't going anywhere." I crossed my arms, "Cut the crap already... I have to be somewhere." She looked me dead in the eyes, "And where is it?" I sighed and told her that I had to be with Ms Hayes right now. After hearing me she laughed. She freaking laughed! I'm sure I didn't crack a joke. I looked at her confused. Her smile disappeared, "What did you think? Ms Hayes called you?... Of course, she did, if only I was her." Realization dawned upon me. I wasn't in the wrong room. I was very much in the right room. I was just called by the wron
Broke My Heart 18. He would have what?
My mouth gape open seeing the person in front of me. I looked at Elena, her face had turned pale. All the colours from her face had drained away the second Damien stepped into the room. "Damien," I whispered, my voice still muffled by the cloth. His eyes flickered to mine and in that moment warmness spread through me. His blue eyes were holding so much warmth that they reminded me of the calmness of the ocean, but not before they turned a shade of raging storm. His eyes found their way back to Elena's. I could clearly see her gulping. She took a step back, "I can explain t-this," Damien raised his hand out in front of him and that was enough to shut her up. I had never seen Damien looking this murderous like he could kill anyone. I watched between the two of them as none of them moved. Finally, Damien took a step towards her in a threatening way. His eyes flickered to mine again then back to her as if not able to decid
Broke My Heart 19. He would have what?
"He's my father." I said in a low voice, if it wasn't quiet in the car, mom wouldn't have heard it at all. Mom tensed beside me, "What are you talking about?" I faced towards her, "You know very well what I'm talking about, mom. He is my father, isn't he?" Her grip tightened on the steering wheel, "Yes." She said. And that little word was enough to make me sure. That little word was enough to break me. Break my trust. "What happened?" I asked her. She ran one of her hands through her hair, "It doesn't matter." "Of course, It does." I practically yelled at her. She looked at me surprised before looking ahead. Sighing, she stopped the car just right in front of our home. But I didn’t move an inch. She clicked her seat belt then turned to face me, "You want to know what happened?" I nodded at her to which she gave me a small smile. "Jerome," she started, "and I were extremely in love with each other. It all
Broke My Heart 20. Love is a smoke made with the fumes of sigh
"I'm sorry," Damien said. I looked up at him, "Why are you being sorry? It wasn't your fault," He looked down at his hands, "If only I wasn't so curious that morning, you wouldn't have been here like this." I took his hands in mine and squeezed them, "And I would have never come to know about this. If anything I should be thankful to you." I gave him a reassuring smile. He looked at me and I noticed the flecks in his eyes which reminded me of snow. How did I not notice them before? He leaned in a little closer, "You." Then leaned in a little more, "Are." He further leaned in that I could practically feel his breath fan my face. I took a deep breath— min and lemon. "Absolutely." Our lips were just inches apart. A little closer and our lips would be touching. "Amazing." He added smirking. And right when he was about to close the last few inches between us, the door to my room swung
Broke My Heart 21. Not blue
I looked around and noticed expensive paintings hung up on the walls. His house was just as spacious as Damien's. But still the walls here had more light in them. Like the walls ik Damien’s home didn't get many moments to hold in them, craving to hear those touches of family laughter. Maybe because Damien was almost alone every night. Evan came running down the stairs, almost jumping and skipping all the stairs. Smiling wide he came and stood in front of me. Then as if not sure, he came near me and poked me with his finger. When he realized that indeed I was here, he let out a sigh of relief, "It's you." "In the flesh," I replied back. "Mom told me that you were waiting for me. I couldn't believe her so I ran here just to check if it really was you." "You satisfied?" "Very much... Anyways would you like to have something?" He asked. I just had some bread before coming here, so I shook my head in denial. "Come on, pizza?"
