ADRIAN'S POV I raised a brow as I sat up and only then did Austin rubbed his face and sighed. "What is it? Why are you so sad? Why are you not sleeping?"Before I slept off, I could remember seeing him close his eyes as if he was going to sleep too and I thought he would so why was he awake?He smiled at me, the smile was bright but it was obvious it wasn't a happy one. "Adrian," he called calmly and I replied by raising a brow. "I'm sorry." He mumbled, causing me to raise a brow. "You're sorry?" I knew he was talking about what happened to us and he was starting to blame himself for it. I hated something like this and Austin blaming himself, I hated it more. I shook my head "Please, stop. This wasn't your fault, it was purely mine. I was childish back then, thinking I could make things better by sacrificing myself and not thinking far ahead. I'm sorry that I made us lose our childhood. I'm sorry that I parted us with my foolishness and I'm sorry I didn't fulfill my promise of
ADRIAN'S POV"Soulmate?" Kelvin asked with shock written all over his face. Who wouldn't be shocked?I was shocked too and even more so than others because a few hours ago, Austin still hated me with gut and now he called me his soul mate...Tine looked at me and his eyes glint with coldness before he turned his back and walked toward the door. "Where are you going to?' I was forced to ask as the urgency in his step was concerning.He turned to look at me and the anger on his face increased. "To call the doctor. Something is wrong with Austin." He replied coldly and left the room.I stared at the closed door for a while without saying anything and returned my attention to Austin who was smiling away as if whatever happened had nothing to do with him."Austin, Are you sure you're okay?" Jason was the first to ask as he sat beside Austin. He seemed very worried about him.Austin sighed slowly and closed his eyes for a moment. "As I said earlier, Adrian was my childhood friend and we wer
ADRIAN'S POV"I'm coming. I will be back soon." I told Austin as I made my way out of the room. I knew the ones in the room had a ton of questions to ask from him and he had a lot to explain too.I glanced at him briefly before leaving the room and he nodded his head slightly as if to tell me he was going to be okay.With that in mind, I left the hospital and boarded a cab as soon as I got to the road. Inside the car, I brought out my phone and called Knight."Hey, Man! Where have you been? You promised to meet me at Kun's place yesterday but you never showed up. I called several times and sent a lot of messages. I even went to your place but you weren't there either. Where have you been?" He questioned and I let out a deep breath.I already expected that much from him after I didn't answer their messages and calls for a long while. "I was in the hospital," I replied simply and there was silence for a while."Are... Are you okay?" His tone turned worried and I chuckled."Of course, I'
POV: Austin Brad " You like it, huh?" A voice whispered coyly into my ears and my whole body shook violently. My knees turned to jelly and my body went out of control. "What's this? What's going on? Why is my body out of my control?" My mind was messy and my brain couldn't process anything. I felt a hand on my waist and I looked down only to find two strong hands wrapped around me. " Who is this?" I asked myself but I found it hard to look straight into his eyes. " Adrian. Will you like me to go further?" The voice asked again and without knowing, I nodded my head. " Hm..." I groaned in pleasure as his rough hands squeezed hard on my br**st. It was a feeling I had never had before but it was a feeling I could easily get addicted to. " What have you done to my body? It's no longer in my control. " I grunted as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. It was a long passionate kiss that got my body jerking, his wayward hand wor
Adrian Beckett's Pov I never could have imagined that Austin would take the initiative to punch me like that. It was a complete surprise to me and I was shocked! I staggered backward with shock evident on my face and I wiped my mouth only to find out there was blood dripping from the corner of my mouth. " Austin!" His friend, Kelvin shouted and it was obvious he was just as shocked as everyone else that saw us. Austin was always the calm type and he would never fight me head-on in school because everyone knew and respected him unlike me who was known as the vagabond by everyone. I rushed toward him and grabbed his collar "Are you nuts?! How dare you punch me like that?!" I questioned with anger-filled eyes and I was ready to start a big fight right there but he looked to be ready too and I was very sure he wasn't going to hold back like he used to. Why? This was the question I wished to ask him but I knew asking such a question would only make me loo
WRITER Adrian walked out of the bar with a divided spirit. He wanted to tell his friends what he felt but he knew that would only make him look like a coward to them as they would take his sincere word as an excuse and use that to taunt him. He looked around him and let out a deep breath " I have no choice but to leave then. " He said to himself and walked toward their school junction. The walk there was fast and silent but the fear in Adrian's heart immediately increased with every passing second and the moment he got to the junction, his heart tightened and he couldn't help but look around him with caution ~ Back at the bar ~ " We have to leave too," Kelvin said after he had waited for some minutes and was sure Adrian would be at the junction by then. He held the hand of Tine who was beside him and signaled for him to follow him. " Where do you think you are going? You already sent Adrian to that Austin and you want to leave too? Don't you think it wil
POV: AUSTIN BRAD I knew Adrian hated me so much but never in my wildest dream would I have expected him to agree to such an absurd request from our enemies. It was unbelievable... I couldn't believe my ears for a few seconds as I stared at Adrian's determined face as he requested for his hands to be freed. The talk about him and I being close friends from childhood was a blunt truth... A truth I've always wished was never right and that was the reason I've kept Adrian alive to date even though I've had many opportunities to get rid of him and take revenge for my father. It was because one part of me kept telling me he might not be my father's killer although I saw him with my own eyes and even got shreds of evidence against him. With my own hands, I kept the pieces of evidence that could have put Adrian in prison, all because of what? Till today, I was still just as oblivious but right now, I felt like I knew the reason. It was to kill him with my bare hands because he was
ADRIAN I watched patiently as Austin faced the two huge men like a ferocious boar that was ready to kill and destroy everything. With the way he was hitting them, I felt my body rise as I imagined him beating my friends and me that way. Well... That was the main reason we never faced them squarely because we knew we were no match for him and his friends. "So, you freed him to beat us? Do you think two of you are enough to fight us?" One of the middle-aged men asked and I frowned. "Two of us? Who told you it's the two of us? Austin alone is enough to teach you guys a big lesson." I boasted with an evil smile on my face as I watched the men glance at each other. I thought I had won when they were unable to talk for some seconds but I realized I was wrong the moment they nodded their heads and laughed. "I will go and call them in." One of them said and turned his back to leave.Call them? Call who? "You think I would give you the chance to call anyone?" I asked as I readied myself t
