The Us Between Chaos The Past
SydneyA week had passed when Hade and I had gone to the bookstore. And he didn’t contact me for that goddamn week. He didn’t even see the message I sent him that night. I could still feel the horror I felt when I saw her in person for the first time. She looked so beautiful. I never felt insecure about my physical appearance in my entire life, but when I saw her smile and walk toward us, I almost loathed myself. I watched Hade stare at her and felt something raging inside me. I could clearly still remember every word and every movement they had during their conversation in the bookstore. When Victoria walked towards us, I saw how Hade pulled the hem of his sleeves and stood straight. He smiled awkwardly when he met my gaze. I glanced at Victoria, and she was smiling at me—genuinely.“Oh my god!” she exclaimed, facing me with her hands on his mouth. “You must be Sydney?” she held his right hand for a handshake. “Victoria.” she introduced herself. I stared at her hand for a while, the
The Us Between Chaos Was fear really just an illusion?
I shivered when the cold wind blew, I was sitting on the floor on my balcony inside my room and was thinking about what mom said. It was three A.M, and I was still wide awake. I wanted to drown myself in drinking. I became obsessed with this feeling of being drowsy and unaware of my surroundings. The blurry vision, and loss of balance, it's hard, but it really feels good.I hugged myself and looked at the starry sky. Would it be a great idea if I sneaked out right now and went to a club? I bet mom wouldn't like it. I stayed on the balcony for a few more minutes and just found myself walking in the crowd. The music was so damn loud. It was three A.M, yet still many people were partying. But most of them were already drunk.I walked straight into the bartender station and asked for a drink—something that would make me drunk in a first shot. He stared at me, waiting to say just kidding, but I just stared at him, picked up my wallet, and slid my credit card onto the table. I tapped it and
The Us Between Chaos Reaching out
When I woke up, I felt something stinging on my arm. I opened my eyes and saw Enzo sitting on the side of the bed, putting cream on my wound. I glanced at the window; the blinds were down, but I could see the sun peaking on it. Enzo stopped and stared at me for a moment."Did I woke you up?" he asked. I nodded, not trying to lie. He stood up, put the cream's lid on, and secured it. He scratched the back of his head and smiled wryly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up." He walked towards the sofa and picked up something on the table. He was holding a bed table with a portion of food and drink. "Sit down." He commanded. I don't know why, but I followed him. I groaned as I moved. He put the table down on the bed beside me. "Here, eat this and take medicine after."I stared at Enzo for a while and wondered if I didn't see Hade's ghost and didn't agree to help him and transfer to school, what would be my life now? Maybe Arnie wouldn't think of reaching us out, but would I prefer that
The Us Between Chaos First step
What I learned about Enzo was he acted based on who was the people in front of him. For example, at school, he acts giddy, cheerful, and childish, but when he was around Kurt and me, he was all mature, caring, and protective. He was friendly yet authoritative when he was in front of their staff. And he looks cool when he acts like that. I thought he was just dumb. He was similar to Hank. I've been thinking of the reason why I hate him. I hate him for being someone I wanted myself to be. He's patient and caring, he's not a whiner, he has discipline, and he thinks before doing any action, unlike me. I am the complete opposite of him.I gave up on mom. I did, and I even think of them as extra baggage. I cannot help but too because she never wanted to get better. She never tried to help herself. She was just sitting watching television, didn't want to eat food that was good for her, and ate the food she wanted, which was not good for her. I cannot rest entirely because I keep thinking abo
The Us Between Chaos Brother
HADEHonor has been quite normal for the past week. He doesn't throw any tantrums or just goes berserk. We thought we were doing pretty great on handling him, not until we let him visit Hally and Dad. He started throwing everything he could reach in the living room. He destroyed our television, PS5, the mirror, the vases, everything. Our home was a mess. Hank and I—even our helpers can't do anything. Jarred came over to help us handle things, but Honor just didn't want to listen to anyone.He screamed, screamed, and screamed until his voice became hoarse. I glanced at Hank and Jarred talking to his butler about maybe what happened during the visit. This wasn't the first time we let Honor visit Hally and Dad, but this was the first time he got so agitated right after the visit. I wonder what Hally did to the child."This is all your fault, Hade!" Honor yelled as he started stomping toward me. Hank instantly yanked Honor away from me. "If you just died, mom and dad will never be taken a
The Us Between Chaos Doubt
I walked out of the class as soon as I saw Jarred's message. Grandfather called an emergency meeting without Hank and me, and they will now vote for the next owner of the Agnello's empire. I thought we had decided to talk about this when we graduated. Why are they rushing it now? I stepped on the gas and glanced in the rear mirror.When I got in there, Hank was already standing beside grandfather. He was yelling at Hank. I walked inside and stood beside Hank. I stared at the Whiteboard behind my grandfather, and my eyes widened when I saw how many stocks I owned in the company. When did these stocks go up? I glanced at Hank, and he looked so serious. What were they talking about when I wasn't still here?"I'm going to put all my shares at Hank," Grandfather said. Everyone started to whisper around each other."We are against Hank, and you know exactly why Chairman Agnello.", one of the boards said. Grandfather shook his head and slammed his hand on the table, shutting them all up."Ha
The Us Between Chaos A mix of emotions
Sydney's P.O.V.When I got home, mom didn't talk to me. She kept distancing herself whenever I tried to start a conversation with her. I wonder if she knew what happened to me or if she learned that I've been sneaking out every dawn just to party. I'm not really partying thou. I was just sitting there, letting myself drown from the alcohol, music, and people. That's precisely the definition of partying, isn't it? I leaned my back on the sofa and rested the back of my head on top of the sofa's back. I stared at the White High ceiling and our mini chandelier and smiled. I thought it would take me decades before having this kind of life. I thought I would never feel my mom's warmth again. I was so scared about Paris' future, and now I don't have to. Mom has her flower shop, and Paris can have whatever she wants without overthinking. Dada was doing great. Also, he handed Paris and me a credit card without limit, and they usually hang out weekly with Kurt. I think Paris and Kurt were alre
The Us Between Chaos Push
Enzo and Kurt have been hanging out in our house lately, playing PS5 with Paris. Mom told them not to bring cakes anymore whenever they wanted to hang out because they had already brought a lot. Nazi and mom have been stressing out where to put the cakes Enzo and Kurt have been bringing. Nazi brought already four boxes of cakes to their house, but the cakes were unlimited. I stared at the stock of cakes inside our fridge. Luckily, I got us a big fridge with two doors. I like sweets, so this view was heaven to me."Sydney, bring us some Red Velvet Cake.", Enzo yelled from the living room. I peaked at the kitchen wall dividing the living room. Their backs were facing me, and they were busy playing."Get yourself your goddamn cake Enzo.", I yelled back and saw him turn his head to face me. I stuck out my tongue at him and rolled my eyes. I returned to the fridge and got myself a slice of Red Velvet Cake. I was about to walk toward the living room, but something came to mind. If I wanted
