? Anthony's POV ?"Babe don't go. You are my oxygen", I said mockingly but I truly mean it. Aiden and I laughed really hard and I noticed Adam was not even moved by my joke. "What's wrong man? What's with the long face?""Nothing", he said looking away."Ohh! Did the almighty Adam Sussman get himself rejected by a girl?", Aiden asked playfully making Adam glare dangerously at him. "Woah! This is serious", he said and moved closer to Adam."It's obviously serious", I responded and moved to Adam as well. I wanted to touch his forehead to check if he has fever but he slapped my hand away. "Chill man, what have I done?"He didn't reply and left the classroom slamming the door making the classroom shake."What the hell was that?", Aiden asked."I have no idea. Did I do something to him?""You should ask him.""He's like that because he likes Adrian and the both of you are making fun of her", Eric s

? Adrian's POV ?I woke up feeling really tired. It feels like my bones are broken due to the training the day before. Thank God it's Saturday. I can't bring myself to go to school. I opened my eyes reluctantly and I noticed I was not in my room. I slept in Aiden's. "Are you kidding me? You guys are still in bed. This is 11 o'clock", Mum shouted as soon as she came into the room. "Now get up." She pulled the cover."Mummy. Today is Saturday. Let's just sleep a little bit more", Aiden said and I totally agreed with him."Mum, just go to work. We'd be fine", I said dragging my words."I took the day off to spend sometime with the both of you. Now up", she said this time hitting us very hard. "Lazy bones."Aiden and I groaned out of frustration but we got up. I went to my room to bath. I lie in the tub for long that I didn't even realize how many minutes I used in there."Adrian, how many minutes does it take you to bath? You've been in

? Anthony's POV?Adrian looked at me with glassy eyes and she ran off. I just can't believe she beat me up. Wonderful! I wanted to stand up but couldn't. I felt pain all over my body.Aiden and Adam came over to my side to help me up. "I'm sorry about that", Aiden said."It's okay but what did I do? I don't understand.""Let's get you cleaned up first. You look horrible", Aiden said and Adam chuckled."What's funny?", I raised an eyebrow."I can't just believe you got beaten by a girl.""Ha ha. So funny", I said with a high level of sarcasm. I started walking and with every step I took, it's like my bones are broken. We went to the school clinic since we were still in the school premises. The nurse cleaned my wounds and gave me some drugs to use. I went back to the changing room and changed back to my clothes."So, will you tell me what that was all about?", I asked Aiden.He sighed and said. "You might want to sit

? Adrian's POV ?"What?", Dad asked in disbelief."Dad please. I promise to be careful", I pleaded."No you are not going anywhere", Dad insisted. "Aren't you scared? There is someone out there that is bent on killing you and he said he won't stop until he does and you are telling me you want to go on a date tomorrow. Adrian please, I can't risk it", he said calmly."Dad, I'm not scared anymore. I was scared before and the fear got me nowhere. That's what he want, Dad. He wants us to be scared of him and we shouldn't give that to him. Dad can't you see what he is doing to us?"Dad sighed knowing that I'm right. "Okay, you can go but with bodyguards."I know he won't accept me going without bodyguards so I agreed. "Yes, Dad", I said and hugged him. "I love you.""I love you too princess but you have to be extremely careful."I'll be careful Dad", I said and went out of the study. I went to my room and saw Aiden sitting on

? Adrian's POV ?We got to the court in less than an hour and Anthony held my hand before we got down from the car."Don't fret, babe. Things will work out in your favor", he smiled reassuring."Okay", I said and we got down from the car.We entered into the court room and I sat between Mum and Dad. We waited for some minutes and Frank was brought in accompanied by 2 policemen. As soon as he entered, he looked around and his eyes landed on mine. It has been long I have seen him and he hasn't changed a bit since when I saw him except for his haircut. He smiled at me and I felt myself tense. His smile held many unsaid words and I was scared. Dad squeezed my hand from beside me and I looked away from Frank and to Dad. Dad smiled dryly at me and I felt relieved. We waited for some minutes and the judge came in. We stood up when the registrar called "arise" to honor the judge. After we greeted him, we sat and Frank looked at me again.The regis
