MIA

I didn't want to go. If I was being truly honest.

With everything that had happened, the last thing I wanted was to be around other people.

My mood was just to curl up in bed and probably cry, curse Xavier out and hate myself for believing him so easily.

But it wasn't my fault.

He had made me feel safe enough to believe everything that came out of his mouth and my father believed him too.

That's why he called me that evening before we left.

“Why didn't you tell me that was the reason

    MIA“What are you talking about? What do you mean you want to go back home? When you say home, what do you mean?” He knew damn well what I meant but he just liked playing dumb. I was seated in his office at home, seeing him for the first time in almost two weeks. He had obviously been very busy with work, I could tell from the dark circles around his eyes. Even with me standing in front of him, he was still focused on a file in his hands. “I mean I'd like to go back to the pack. There's something I need to get there.” His frown deepened. “What is so important that you have to go back to the pack for? Tell me, I'll send someone back there to bring you whatever you want.”Somehow, I already knew he was going to say that but there was no way I would let my father trick me into staying here. What I wanted to do back home was very important to me, hence the reason for the trip. “Dad, I need to go there myself. It's very pertinent that I see to it myself. It's really very important to

    XAVIERWe stayed in one corner of the house, deep in the night. We had to be really careful to make sure that no one was still awake or able to hear what we were talking about. I stood at the corner while Marissa was busy trying to get him to come see me. They were supposed to come here thirty minutes ago but they were nowhere in sight and I couldn't call her because it was risky. My heart was beating because with the way my father was losing sleep over this issue, it would be very easy for him to walk down to my room to speak to me. I kept peaking out of the corner to see if they were coming but I couldn't even hear footsteps. The next thing was to call her because the more time we spent, the riskier it became. As soon as her phone started to ring, I heard footsteps down the hall. I put my phone back into my pocket to stop the light coming from my screen. “What took you so long? I was starting to get worried.” She was panting heavily. “I'm so sorry. My dad stopped me to talk

    XAVIER“What did he tell you?”She closed the door properly before turning to me. “He said the wedding must happen by the weekend. That's in two days. We need to find a way to call it off.”Madison and I have reached some kind of agreement. When I confronted her about the fact that I knew she didn't want to marry me, she didn't deny it. Instead,the first thing. She asked was how we would convince our fathers to see the same.I didn't ask her who she was in love with but the fact that I knew she didn't want to marry me was enough for me to work hard enough to see that this thing didn't happen. “Two days is time for us to think of something. Your boyfriend…is he ready? All you have to do is say the word and I'll help you get passports and everything you need to start a new life abroad.”She looked happy but at a loss. “That would have been the best option but he's hesitant. He has family here and they mean a lot to him. He doesn't want to leave them here. Coupled with the fact that

    MIAIn my bid to get my life back on track, I decided to focus on the one thing my life centered around. Getting to know and under my powers. Right now, the only person who could help me do that was Magma. From what I know, I was going to have to get My Book it Spells from my father. The last time I asked him about it, he said he didn't know what I was talking about. At that point, it did sound like he was telling the truth but I hadn't been focused since I was in the hospital. Maybe I should bring it up again so that I'd be sure of his answer. Last night, I reached out to him to tell him that I was fine and I'd be going to school the next day. He waited a moment before responding, breathing heavily into the phone as if he was trying to think of an answer to give me. Eventually, he responded. “That’s good. You should return to school. How are you doing?”“Good…good. Do you need anything?”Yes. A hug, maybe some ice cream. “No, I'm good. Just wanted to let you know. Also, I wa

    MIAFor the first time in almost a week, I turned on my phone. I'd left the house and rented an apartment on the opposite side of the city, far away from everyone I knew.It's not like I wanted to clear my head. No, I was running away from the truth. What I'd heard, my heart couldn't take it. After my father had told me what Xavier had heard in the office, a huge part of my heart was broken but the part that wanted to believe him and everything we'd been through told me that it was a lie and that I was imagining things. So I decided to go see him and confront him about it. Even though I knew that his father would be there and most probably make things hard for the both of us, I decided to go and hear him out so I won't just hear from everyone besides him. Maybe I should have just left the house without stopping by Falcon's room but the universe didn't want me to keep making a fool of myself so I overheard the conversation. She was on the phone with him when I heard her mutter. “S

    XAVIERDinner was just half an hour long but it felt like it was an eternity. Mainly because I and Marissa were the central focus. Our fathers hammered us with questions that we didn't know what to answer because it made us very uncomfortable. Half of my attention was on Marissa because unlike before, she was quiet even when her father teased her about finally getting married to me. She didn't say anything, barely smiled and just poked at her food. It made me think about earlier times in the garden. She was quiet and I had to be the one who kept pushing a conversation. At one point when we stood close, she moved away as if trying to maintain distance between us. Was she disgusted by me now and did she finally want to move on? It made me think about the whole thing but I didn't want to mount pressure on it just yet. “Xavier, your father has told me that you're very serious about Marissa and I've seen things for myself. I think it's time I huh emh blessing. After all, it's been lo

    XAVIERBy the next morning, things had been set in motion. Ark had made it to the police station and told them what had happened, along with proof. Texts, calls from her and her father the day she was shot and the money wire transfer as a job well done. The look on the detective's face will alway

    XAVIERWhen Mia informed me that they had come to her room to threaten her,I stood up immediately and went there. They had the nerve to go to her and tell her all sorts of things. “Did they hurt you?”She remained calm. “Quite the contrary. I gave their clothes some water to calm down. They didn

    MIAThe next day, I felt much more better than the others. My body felt stronger even though I knew that the moment I started to feel good, things would get jinxed. “Can we get pizza? I'm hungry and maybe some ice cream too, banana. Yeah, that would be nice. Something for the heat.”“We both know

    XAVIERMY calculations were right. Right before dinner,Xerxes and I were back at the house. There was nothing I told them they didn't already know. Madison stalked me and disturbed me for years even though I told her I wasn't interested in her. Never for once did I shower interest in liking her
