Chapter 51
11 was Sunday, in the middle of the afternoon. Sofie and I laid on her bed, both of us staring up at the ceiling
“Tim starving” I groaned, rolling over my stomach.
“Same here, it feels like I haven’t had breakfast this morning” Sofie says, rolling onto her growling e stomach as well.
“You are always hungry, Sofie, even if you ate thirty minutes ago, you would still be hungry! We both laughed, lying there looking at each other.
“That’s true,” she murmured, agreeing with me. “I don’t know if there is any food in the fridge; why don’t you go check!”
“I feel so lazy, beside its
e its your b
house. Why
hy don’t you go
you go down and check?” I groan, laying on my back again.
feel so lazy too, it’s too much effort. She sits up from her bed. ‘Ill text Maddie to bring us a pizza on her way here.”
Maddie and Dylan finally had a talk yesterday. After we left Oliver and Solie yesterday, we had a girl talk along with Josephine, Oliver’s cousin. It did a lot of pep talk and a lot of convincing before Maddie could swallow the nerves she felt. Josephine and I decided to give her a little moral support, so when she drove to Dylan’s place, we waited in the car for her
The two had talked for quite some time, and when Maddie came out, she had a smile on her face. It was obvious things were finally okay between them, and I’m so happy for her,
“Okay, Maddie just texted back. She will be coming around, but a little bit late..” Sofie nods.
I nod and close my eyes, enjoying the feel of the softness of the mattress and bed beneath me. I felt the bed deep beside me, and my eyes slowly opened. Sofie was lying by her side, scrolling through her phone.
“I’m curious” I said as I rolled to my side, leaning my head against my hand. “What happened with Oliver and you yesterday! Any progress yet?”
What do you mean? Oliver and I are just friends” the replied, trying to look innocent, but her act didn’t fool. I mean, I have known her since preschool. There was no way she could fool me.
“Oh, please, you guys look like you were in some kind of trance outside the mall yesterday, and Oliver already made it clear that he likes y what is it? Why aren’t you making any effort?”
you so
“First of all, nothing of that kind happened yesterday, and secondly, I don’t know,” she paused. “I know about Oliver having feelings for me, he already confessed.”
“Then why aren’t you guys together? You like him; he likes you. So what is the problem?” I urge
“What’s this an interrogation!” She laughs guilidy
“Basically, now tell me what’s wrong demanded.
v mom
She sighed when she saw that I wasn’t going to give up. “I like him. I know I do, but I’m scared. What if the same thing that happened to my happens to me?” she whispered in a low tone. I wouldn’t have been able to hear if I wasn’t laying this close to her
“Oh, Sofie” She groans, covering her face with her hands,
“I know, I know. It isn’t certain yet. But you have seen the way my dad is, after my mom passed away, he is barely himself. I don’t want the same thing to happen to someone I love, just like how my dad is after losing my mom to cancer?
*Safe. What happened to your mom isn’t going to happen to you. You and Chris already got yourselves checked after she died, and you were cleared” I tried to soothe her nerves.
“I know, but like the doctor said, it can be hereditary. For Chris could have it in the future.” She fiddles with her finger, and a sad smile crosses her
face.
“My God! Soße. A familiar voice said, stepping into the room.
The two of us both sat up on the bed to see Maddie walk in with a box of pizzas. She placed it on the desk, then made her way to the bed. She dragged Sone in for a hug, patting her back softly before pulling away.
How did you get in?” Sofie asked, puzzled.
“If you can have a key to my place, why can’t I? Maddie answered, rolling her eyes. “Right now, that’s not what’s important. You can’t let fear ride your judgement; I know what happened so your mom must have hurt you a lot, Sote, and not just your father.” She says it softly,
“Mackle is right, Sofie. You are scared; it’s understandable. But would you go on living your life with the fear of the unknown! You aren’t your mom. and you have a great life in front of you. I know you don’t want anyone to go through what your dad went through after your mom’s death, but
Chapter 31
Oliver really likes you a lot, and he isn’t your dad. Don’t take the right to choose from him; tell him the truth, and let him be the one to make the choice by himself, not you” I watched the tears fall from her eyes as she used her hands to wipe them off
Maddie pulled her in for another hug, and this time I joined. The three of us were locked in a group hug.
“Why didn’t you tell us earlier what was going on with you? 1 feel like Bree and I have been so selfish, coming with you with all our problems when you were going through something like this alone.” Maddie cried ou, and I nodded.
“You always try to solve whatever problems we have. We are best friends, Sofie, which means your problem is our problem as well. Never keep anything like this from us again.” I said it sternly, wiping away the tears that had escaped my ryes
“I won’t, I promise.” She laughed through the tears. “Thanks guys, what would I do without you?” We hugged again, smiling-
“Best friends forever” I say pulling away.
“Best friends forever” Maddie and Sotie said it at the same tinte. The three of us smiled amongst each other, falling back on the bed, hands in hands.
Hayden Pov.
I tried getting some sleep but couldn’t, and I kept tossing and turning on the bed. I turned on my phone to check the time and saw it was 1:00 am. in the morning 1 sighed in frustration, rubbing my hands through my face.
I miss Bree already, and it has only been a few hours.
I can’t take this anymore. I got out of bed, changing my clothes. I walked out of my room, making my way to the parking lot 1 took my key to my bike and timbed in. I put on my helmet, inserted the key, and then drove out of the mansion.
I parked three houses down from Bree’s, then walked over to her window. I climb up the tree, sneakily opening her window. I successfully entered the bedroom, and there should have been. My angel was lying on her bed with cover grazing her chin as she tightly held onto it.
She looked so small, wrapped up like a foetus. Her eyes were loosely closed, and her kissable lips were slightly open. I slowly approach her. admiring her features. I lay on the bed, tracing my fingers from her face to her lips. I removed my hund from her face, wrapping my arms around her waist and welcorning her warmth.
She shifted, and I noticed the change in her breath. Her breath is still, and slowly her eyes shut. When she noticed another presence on her bed, she jumped off the bed, holding her reading light in her arms as she frantically looked for the intruder. I watched in amusement when her eyes landed
on me and she appeared relaxed, dropping the reading lamp back on the table.
The room was dark, and the only source of light was the moon shining through the window. She walked towards me, stopping a foot away.
“What the hell, Hayden? Don’t ever do that again: you scared the crap out of me.” She whispered a yell. “What are you doing heret Shouldn’t you be asleep?” she asks, moving past me to turn on the light. She walks to the door, locking it with a click.
I took a moment to admire her features as I roamed over the tight pyjamas singlet that had her nipples pecking out, down to the pyjamas shorts that barely covered her ass. I sall couldn’t get over how gorgeous she looks, even after seeing her naked so many times. I subconsciously licked my lips, and Bree rolled her eyes, snapping her fingers in front of my face.
“You still haven’t answered me. I had just managed to get some sleep before you decided it was a wise decision to sneak into my room at She paused to look at the clock before continuing. 1:58am in the morning.”
I moved to where she stood, embracing her in a hug. My head was buried into her neck as she rubbed my back.
“I tried, babe, but I couldn’t sleep without you by my side. I mumbled against the crook of her neck.
“And you thought it was a wise decision to sneak into my room this late at night, almost giving me a heart attack. She retorts, giggling.
1 shrugged my shoulders, slowly placing open, wet kisses against her soft, delicate skin. You smell so good, and your body feels so soft. I murmured as I kept on trailing kisses on her neck.
“Hmm” she moans, running her hands on my tangled hair. “Hayden, as much as I would love to continue this, it’s already two in the morning and also a school night” She said, and I hummed against her skin.
I pressed my lips on hers for a brief moment, then backed away groggily. I smiled at her, and she did the same. She moves away from me to back down on the bed. She wraps the duvet around her body, stiding out a yawn with her eyes closed off.
It was time I also got some sleep; tomorrow was Monday, and I had practice after school. I quickly rid myself of my shirt and trousers. Folding thens neatly and on top of the desk in her room
I turned off the light, using the moon shining through the window as a source of light as I stepped slowly to the bed. I took my steps carefully.

Chapter 51:
trying not to make any noise. I lay on the empty side of the bed, resting my head on the pillow next to her head. I pulled her swiftly close to my chest, she moved around a little, trying to get comfortable. She used my hand as her pillow, snuggling close to me.
“Good night, baby girl 1 whispered, kissing her forehead, and my eyes slowly shut.
