April shot out of bed, she was still in the clothes she wore yesterday as she didn't have the motivation to leave her bed. She went out of her room and could see the door open, which means she wasn't the first person going out the door.She was surprised to see some guys running away in different directions, what surprised her the more was Iver punching the hell out of someone. Orion was beside Iver, not stopping him.Knox was beside the car with the remote in his hands, the car soon stopped the alarming sound. The car has been brutally vandalized, the windows broken and the tyres slashed.All that could be heard now is the grunt of the person Iver was punching. Mr and Mrs Caddel rushed outside stopping beside April on the front porch. They were shocked at the situation of things.Iver raised his victim by the collar of his shirt and in that moment, the guy, who April recognized as Kylo, reached behind him and he was fast as he pulled out a knife and push it towards Iver's stomach.
'Kylo and his friend group,' April answered in her mind, her heart beating rapidly. April dropped her bag to the ground and ran quickly to the door, she got out and shut the door behind her, but Orion was already on his feet."Kylo, why would you come here?" she asked with urgency immediately she got to him.Kylo had rode to her house with the five males in their friend group, the females were absent and she guessed he really came like that because he was displeased with how he had stood him up the last time.Orion stepped out with Knox, standing on the front porch, observing the situation. Just then, Mr and Mrs Caddel arrived too, they had gone to visit one of their neighbors who just gave birth at the hospital."You are late. I figured you might decide to go missing like last time so I'm getting you myself this time," Kylo replied.Mr Caddel fumed at the realization that April wasn't going to meet with Blue like she had told him, she was going to meet with the guy he forbade her fr
He was by his car with the door opened when April caught up to him. She hugged him from behind. "Don't go. Let's talk, please," she pleaded.Orion was quiet for a minute, he shut his eyes and calmed down, then he exhaled. He removed April's hands that were around his waist and faced her. April looked away, knowing he was currently not pleased with her."Sorry for disappointing you," she said."No. I'm sorry, I overreacted," Orion said.April wasn't expecting him to actually apologize, his apology boosted her courage and she wrapped her hands around his right arm."Then come back and let's eat," she said, dragging him back to the house.He followed without resistance and Knox followed too.When they got back to the dining table, Iver winked at April, subtly giving her a thumbs up and she secretly smiled. He kept putting food on plate and she ate happily trying to keep it down this time, she was glad he didn't overdo it though.When they were done eating, Orion offered to drop Iver o
April woke up in the middle of the night, she put on a robe over her usual bralette and panties, not bothering to tie it. She was thirsty so she went to get water from the kitchen and drank. Just as she was drinking, her mind went to a few hours ago and she shut her eyes in embarrassment.If not for Orion quickly rushing her to her bathroom, she would have emptied the contents of her stomach right on the dining table. Apparently, she couldn't keep her food since she had unwillingly stuffed them down her throat. She was glad her parents didn't make it a big deal, they just thought she was coming down with something. An assumption only Orion knows wasn't true.She rinsed her cup, placing it back, before getting out f the kitchen. She almost had an heart attack when she found Orion in the living room. She quickly brought then ends of her robe together, making the rope useful. He was sitting there shirtless, his sword pendant necklace shining in the dim light, staring into nothingnes
She got up and walked out of her door. There was no one in the living room but she could hear voices in the kitchen. She was surprised when she got there and met Orion cooking with her mother. His jacket was gone, he was now in his black shirt with sleeves rolled to his elbows. From the look of things, they were almost done.She made her presence known."Go tell Knox to come in. Inform him we are both staying for dinner," Orion said.April rolled her eyes and left after saying 'okay'. He couldn't even add please, she thought. She walked out of the house and was right in front of the car when she remembered that she didn't even ask who Knox was. She had just assumed it was the person Orion came with.She felt too lazy to go back inside and ask. Besides, the man in the car already noticed her before she even got near the car, turns out he was very aware of his environment. She greeted him and asked if he was Knox. The man told her he is and she relayed Orion's message to him.She wa
She didn't make a mistake, the car was like the one she had seen earlier. There was a man in the driver's seat and she gave him a nod of acknowledgement, which was reciprocated.Orion was really back.She had doubted when she saw him earlier because he looked very different. She didn't have enough time to scrutinize and figure out what made him look different but he just was.April breathed in and out deeply for a whole minute, standing in front of the door. She finally gathered the courage to open the door and stepped in, shutting it behind her softly.She could see Orion's back facing her, her mom was in his arms as she hugged him tightly. Her Dad was sitting with Iver on the opposite side, happiness evident on their faces. She walked further into the room and they finally noticed her. Her mom released Orion, facing her with a surprised look on her face. She usually doesn't come back home that early and it's already evening. She looked away from the intense gaze of Orion and wal
