I guess my harsh treatment got through to her. She stopped bothering me. I didn't see her every morning, running to my car with food in her hands. Nor did she hang around me on campus and stared at me longingly. I finally got rid of her.
I saw her walking to her class a few times. She looked away when our eyes met and kept walking.
"I guess she finally got the hint, huh?" Macie said. We were sitting in the cafe after class.
Author's note: Hey, guys. As you can see, this story is written mostly in Aaron's POV. However, it's important to know Bella's perspective, so I will sneak her POV once in a while. There won't be too many, only when it's necessary.Bella's POV.When I first saw Aaron Morris, I was in shock. It was like seeing a ghost. It was
"I'm not sulking," I declared."You are definitely sulking," Macie said. "guys?" she turned to Jake and Jane."He is sulking," they said at the same time.
I went back to my car with a heavy heart. She said no. Bella Davis was actually rejecting me! The same girl who had been crazy about me. Who shoved all those love letters in my hands. Did my words affect her this much?I should just forget about her. This was a blessing. She was gone.No...
I dragged her inside an empty room and slammed the door shut."Aaron! What...""Why are you doing this?" I demanded to know."Doing what?" she asked. Her eyes were big with surprise.
Bella's POV.He used to say my freckles were like sprinkles of sunshine, and I shouldn't be self-conscious about them. So I wasn't. I took everything he told me to my heart. He was my biggest supporter. My best friend.Elijah.
I didn't have any plans today, so I decided to stay home and napped. It felt like it has been a while since I got to stay home and relax. That was when Jake called me and asked me to hang out with him at his apartment.At first, I was going to say no, but I changed my mind. Ever since Macie and I broke up, I've been kind of lonely, so I figured why not. Jake can always cheer me up.
"Don't do this to me, Bella. I need you!" I said and looked at her desperately."No," she looked at me, unwillingly to change her mind."If I don't have the boardwalk, I won't be able to build more hotels!" I exclaimed.
I woke up in the morning feeling pain in my back. Stupid couch. I would rather sleep in a nice soft bed, next to a pretty redhead. I smirked at my own ridiculous thought.I wondered how much of last night she remembered. Probably forgot everything, I sighed.I decided to go check on her. Jane went to work, and Jake had a morning class, so I was left alone with Miss drunken mess.
