AUDREY’S POV“This is a bad idea.”“Bad ideas always turn out to be good, Rey. It'll be fun!.”“Can I just stay at home?” I groaned, my voice filled with reluctance as I thought of possible ways to skip out on another of her numerous wild adventures.Claire was unaffected by my tone, her eyes fixed on the mirror as she applied her smoky make-up and damn, she always looked fantastic in that.I loved Claire, but whenever she said the word ‘fun’, I tried to run for my dear life. Her fun times were mostly suicidal for me, and while I was over-exaggerating it, ever since I had known Claire, we have always gotten into trouble.“Yes and if I remember correctly, Lucas Kent, your sweet boyfriend, is the host of the party,” Claire said, rolling her eyes at me through the mirror.I ground my teeth in frustration because she was right. It was almost the end of summer and Lucas had suggested we had one last bonfire party before college resumed. I was gonna be as dramatic as hell when I had him in

AUDREY’S POVIt's been five years… Five years since I found out I was pregnant and that the father of my child was nowhere to be found. Five years since my parents disowned me and threw me out to the streets.What would I have done if Claire hadn't taken me in? Maybe I would have been dead by now-Stop thinking about the past, Rey. The past is in the past. Right now, I was worried about my present and future.“Claire, help me,” I whispered into the phone as I looked around to make sure no one saw me.“What's going on? Who's bullying you? Is Aiden alright?” She whispered and I let out a sigh as I sat on the restroom floor in the company I worked at.“What do we always say happens before nine in the morning at work?” I asked and I heard her yawn before she spoke up“Well, nothing but trouble comes before nine,” She replied and I almost burst into tears.“This definitely wouldn't be good. I have just been summoned by the scary boss.”“You exaggerate everything, Rey. What if he's calling

AUDREY'S POVMy heart was clenched tight inside my chest as I tried so desperately to breathe just like Claire told me to but it was almost impossible. My vision was getting blurry and even Claire's voice was fading away. There was a banging on the door but I couldn't reach for the lock to push it open.“AUDREY! Are you gonna leave Aiden here alone because of a dumb man!?” Claire's voice suddenly cut through my brain and I realized she was right. Was I just gonna let myself wallow away because of Lucas?“Breathe, darling. You can do this!” She said reassuringly and I clutched the phone tightly as I forced myself to breathe, thinking of nothing but Aiden.My son needs me. I can't give up now.“I'm okay… I'm okay Claire.” I said after multiple attempts of breathing in and out and I heard her let out a sigh of relief.“What are you going to do now? You know what, I'm coming over there. I'll give him a damn piece of my mind!” She said in anger and I let out a soft chuckle as I sat up.“Yo

Audrey's POV I swallowed hard, trying very to find the right word to say but my voice caught in my throat, betraying me. “Audrey, I don't like repeating myself, were you the one that bumped into Isabella yesterday yesterday?”, He asked again, this time his voice was louder. I closed my eyes slightly, squeezed my fist and took a deep breath trying to calm myself down. “Y-yes, I was the one”, I stuttered, feeling a flush rise down my cheek. Isabella beamed with smile as she took a glance at Lucas. Lucas expression changed as his eyes flushed with annoyance. “Audrey, I expect more from my employee, be more careful next time and remember what I said at the meeting, Isabella here, has the same right I have in this company so you must respect her if you want to keep your job.” Lucas said with his voice sounding with disdain. I felt goosebumps all over my body as my eyes swell up with tears. How could he speak to me like that? After all he had done and made me pass through in the p

Audrey's POV The doctor walked pass me and the nurses started coming out of the emergency room. My heart raced as I was full of concern over Aiden's health. One of the nurse paused and turned to me. “Madam, you can go in and see your son now”, she said softly. I took a deep breath and peeped through the door, exhaling my anxiety. I took the courage to open the door as I walked to meet Aiden. He appeared to be feeble and looked really pale. Moving ahead, I sat on the bed next to Aiden and clutched his hands. “Hey baby”, I said in a low tone. “Mummy is here and everything is going to be okay”. Aiden looked at me with a faint smile while blinking his eyes. I smiled at him while attempting to suppress my own fears. I held his hands and made a silent prayer for his recovery, “Aiden, you are going to be okay. I am here for you son”. As I sat there, my mind flushed back to all the times Aiden made me proud.
