All Chapters of Once Her Bully, Now Her Beggar: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

NOVA “Thank you” I whispered when his car came to a stop in front of my house “Call me if you need anything at all,” he told me “Good night Dylan and thank you,” I told him with a little smile I got out of the car and walked over to the gate, I looked behind me at intervals to see that he was still parked there waiting to see me get in before he drove away. I turned the doorknob slowly hoping there would be no one around and I could get to hide away in my room and bury myself in the silence but the minute I stepped in I was met with my mom’s eyes. She turned to me and immediately rushed towards me like something had happened. “Why didn't you pick up your call? You had me worried sick” she scolded me “She is fine, that is all that matters,” Ricardo said, he was dressed in a full suit like he was about to leave for work or had just stepped in. From the corner of my eye, I saw his suitcase resting on the couch. Why was he back early? Did something happen? “What is goi

I returned to my room and stayed in my bed after my little conversation with Ricardo and I just kept staring at the ceiling letting my mind run wild. I switched off my phone and avoided it because I would only find myself looking for what people had to say on what was going on. There was a pressing need to have a conversation with Kelsey, I needed to know her reason for doing what she did.Did she always hate me? And just pretended to give a shit about meOr did something happen that made the hate grow? I needed answers to that.There was a soft knock on the door before the door slowly opened and my mom peeked through the door. When she saw I was awake she walked in with a little smile on her face.“Hey honey,” she said“How was your night?” she sat on my bedside“I couldn't sleep” I didn't bother pretending that I was okay because it felt like she understood the situation. I never told her things because I always felt like she wouldn't understand so I didn't bother but with this, i

“Hey May” I greeted in a high-pitched voice, I wasn't expecting to see her and it felt like I was caught doing something bad.“What?”“Why?”“What is-”She kept looking between us with her face squeezed in confusion “Don't you know how to knock? What if we were getting busy in here?” Dylan asked as he stood up“Getting busy?” May asked with her eyes wide in shock “Can you shut the fuck up!” I shouted at him “What the hell are you doing here?” she asked“He just appeared in front of my room” I confessed“I am pretty sure he broke in” I added“I walked right through the door, there was no need to break in” he winked at me“He didn't try anything funny did he?” May asked“What do you take me for?” He let out a fake gasp with his hand over his chest“Whose fault would that be? Definitely not mine” she rolled her eyes at him“I came to see how she was doing just the same way you came also” they kept bickering at each other“What relationship do you have with her that you think you can j

DYLANAfter agreeing to stay for dinner I got death glares from Nova and suddenly May, who was about to be out the door, decided to stay over too and even spend the night at her place just to spite me. I wasn't mad at it because the whole interaction we had and the back and forth brought Nova out of her brooding it, I saw her laugh and smile which made me seem like I did well enough and I was satisfied about that.I just had to make sure she kept it up and not allow the situation to weigh her down. I was going to make sure that happened one way or the other. She was warming up to me slowly but surely.And I was always looking forward to spending time with her, she made me smile and the guards I always had up around people were easily brought down around her. I loved to see her smile and loved watching her eyes light up whenever she laughed. If only I could go back in time and erase the bad history we had against each other I would do that in a heartbeat.“What are you smiling about?”

When I woke up, the sun had yet to rise, so I was finally able to sleep slowly. Although my mind kept replaying the horror in the hallway with Kelsey, I could snap myself awake sometimes and not have to relive it. I got out of bed and headed downstairs and I could hear my mom moving around in the kitchen. It was the day of the wedding. The house smelled of fresh pancakes and syrup, she was probably nervous and cooking to calm herself down. It was something she always did.Over two weeks had passed since what happened and I hadn’t returned to school yet. I just felt like I wasn't ready, the thought of walking past her without saying a word to each other, or not meeting by my locker to talk about how our weekend was, and also not eating lunch together. I wasn’t ready to deal with that just yet. I wonder how May was dealing with it, she made it seem too easy.Another reason why I avoided school was because of the lawsuit my mom threatened the school with. It forced the school to close d
