I'M IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND

🌿2🌿 Heidi’s POVDad was waiting for me in the living room when I got home, I jumped into his arms as usual.Dad was incredibly so young and handsome, and it wondered me how he has been able to escape the ladies.Well, that was to my own advantage. I still had my Dad all to myself. The last thing I wanted was a woman who’s not Mom to come into our house, and take away my Dad’s attention.“How was school?” He asked, pecking my hair before letting my feet touch the ground.I dropped my bag on a sofa, nodding. “It was great. Are you still going on that trip Dad?”Dad nodded. “I was waiting for you. Here’s my card. You know my pin, right?”I nodded. “Dad? Lucas is spending the night here.”Dad stopped, turned and looked at me. “Lucas? Rodriguez’s son?”I rolled my eyes at the unnecessary question. “How many Lucas do you know, dad? I don’t even have any other friend apart from him.” I replied, sitting down to remove my shoes.Dad came closer, sat beside me and put a arm around me. “Y

🌿4🌿 Heidi’s POVThe school’s concert of the year was coming up, and everyone was excited and getting ready to be picked as the main role for the school play.Mrs. McClure, our new coordinator for the concert came into the class after lunch break with her assistant, Miss Luna.“Okay, everyone. We are gonna be talking about the school concert for the year. The play is going to be based on friendship and love.”At the mention of that, the whole place lightened up with cheering while some only mocked at it.I had just one thought in my head as I thought about the play's theme. I thought about Lucas. It was as though, the play was gonna be about us.“The main and supporting roles will be chosen according to your outlooks and performances. Rehearsals starts immediately the bell rings.” Mrs. McClure announced.She left the class few minutes later, and everyone started talking about the concert.After classes were over, everyone started heading towards the school hall. I staye

🌿 6🌿 Heidi’s POV I still couldn’t believe she was who I thought she was, so I had to ask. “What are you doing here?” She flashed me a surprised smile. “Heidi! I really didn’t know I was coming to your house until I got into the street. It’s such a small world, yeah?” I scoffed, glaring at her. “First, it was you and now, it’s your mother who’s trying to force her way into my dad’s life?” The smile on her face disappeared. “My Mom would never force herself on any one. She’s beautiful and successful. She’s a lawyer.” “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bla bla bla.” I rolled my eyes, turned away from the door as I walked back in, leaving her standing at the doorway. Dad stared at me as I walked back to my seat. “Where is she?” “She what?” “She just knocked at the door right now, Heidi. When will you stop being so perky...” he stopped talking when he heard Daniella’s shoes making noise on the floor behind him. He snapped around to look back at me. “Heidi! When did you become so rude?” I g

🌿8🌿 🌿Heidi’s POV 🌿I stared on in shock as the ambulance left with the police van.Dad held my hand, squeezed tightly, helping me to calm down.It was as though, I was dreaming. Why would someone wanna kill an old quiet lady like Aryan's grandmother?“Dearie…you have to go in and offer Aryan some support. She doesn’t have anyone now.”I stared up at dad, nodded and made my way into the house.*I put a arm around Aryan as we sat together on her bed. We were silent. Everywhere was damn silent except for her sniffing.There was an unanswered question in the air. When I turned to look at Aryan, she was already staring at me.“Did she tell you what she wanted to say to me?” I asked quietly.Aryan shook her head and more tears fell off her red eyes. “No. And I think it’s related to her death. I think she found out something very serious, I think she saw what she shouldn’t have seen.”“And why would she choose to tell me instead? Why did she choose me?” I asked, really confused.

🌿10🌿 🌿 Heidi’s POV 🌿“Nate? Are you there?” I asked when the other line still remained silent.“Set…up who?”“Can you do it? I need to know if you will be able to do it.”“And what’s in for me, huh?” Nate asked after some time.I stood up from my bed, walked to the door and locked it before walking towards the window. “I will be your girlfriend.”Nate gasped from the other side of the line. “Are you serious right now? How do I trust you?”“I give you my word, Nate. I will go out with you.”“Okay. What’s the plan? Who am I setting up?”I smiled at the question. Exactly what I wanted to hear. TEXAS 🌿Cassandra’s POV🌿“Why would you do that!” I yelled into the phone, really flabbergasted.My hand trembled, really pissed off at the piece of news I was getting from the other side of the line.“Martha! This is going to complicate things! And before that happens, just know you won’t get a penny from me!”There was a sigh from the other side of the line. “I’m sorry boss, bu
