MIA

For 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 t

    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

    XAVIERThey were in the living room, her father was laughing at something my father said and Marissa was at the end of the couch, sitting still. I had to try my best to make this look very believable, believable enough for them to ask to arrange the wedding again. The fact that I had no attraction towards her or any form of interest was going to make things weird. But I had to suck it up. My father noticed my presence and called their attention to it. “He's here, my son.” They turned around to look at me and I joined the conversation. “Welcome. I hope your journey wasn't too stressful.” Her father stood up and walked over to me, standing very close and giving me an intense look. I didn't want to meet his eyes so I just concentrated on his shoes. He stretched his hand out to me, a sign of peace. “You've finally come to your senses. That's a good thing. When your father called me, I was skeptical but you've proven yourself to be a man. Very good of you.”He moved out of the way

    XAVIER“If we move the safe, do you think it will trip the alarm?” The truth was that we will never know unless we did it. Did I want to risk it? Come on, Xavier. Think. Think of something else. “Mia, check if there's an outlet close to the safe.”I remained still as she walked over,looking arou

    XAVIERThere were guards coming up the stairs. We could hear their footsteps and conversations. Mia and I looked at each other with widened eyes. We needed a place to hide. There was no way we could go back outside to the roof because the door made a lot of noise due to the old hinges. “We need t

    MIA“Are you ready? You can't back down now.” Elara gave me a look and sighed. “I should be asking you that. What if you get caught? What will we say?” That won't happen. That can't happen. I won't allow it. Xavier surely won't allow it either. The plan was simple. Get in and get out. As simpl

    XAVIER“What-what are you telling me? What does that even mean?”My brain wasn't processing thoughts right now. And certainly not what she was saying. She remained silent, staring at me like she hadn't just said words that confused me. “I’m saying…she's here. Mia. Well, not her.”The frown on my
