Chapter 12

CHAPTER 12 “Aiden,” I said and sat up further. It was pitch black outside and all I could see was the slightest light from the moon since the drapes weren’t drawn. I looked at the clock and it was three at night. Aiden had just gotten back from wherever he had taken off too in a hurry before I fell a sleep. I rubbed my eyes and stepped down on the floor. Aiden was just standing by the window, staring out into the night and as I approached him he didn’t turn around. “Aiden,” I said quietly and walked closer. I gently raised my hand and touched his arm. A yelp escaped my lips as he turned around, grabbed my arm and pressed me back onto the wall. His hand gripped a hold of my jaw and he pressed into me. His eyes were obsidian and his breathing was ragged. My heart was beating quickly and it felt like it was about to pop out oy chest. My eyes were widely staring into his and he looked unhinged.

They were healing but I went over to Aidens side of the bed and removed the cover, I w the drapes shut and went back bed. As I laid down for a few seconds I felt the other side dipping down as Aiden got into bed. His arm came around my body and I was pulled back against him. hold. My body stiffened and I squirmed under his hold. His face nussled into my neck and he tightened his This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Please, just…please,” he said softly and relaxed his arm. I gulped and my body relaxed into his touch, he pulled me back further and I closed my eyes. When I woke up Aiden hadn’t gotten up. His arm was still hanging over me and his face was burrowed into my hair. The clock was ten and my eyes widened. My stomach growled and I desperately wanted coffee. In the most careful and slow way, I lifted his arm which weighed a ton and moved my body away from his. I placed it down carefully and got up from bed. He groaned and turned to his stomach as he placed the pillow over his head. I picked out my outfit for the day and as I looked outside it was sunny with a little fog so I opted for at long sleeve dress. I put on my channel ballet shoes and went downstairs. 111 J 2/4 HHAPTER 12 The chatter immediately slammed me in the face and I remembered yesterdays scene in the dining. hall but this time three people were added to list of faces I didn’t want to see. It was just as packed as yesterday but most of them had eaten and were just sitting around and talking. I took slow steps toward the table were Marie was sitting and talking to Cole. “Hey, Gabby,” I groaned and stopped when Melina stepped in front of me. Sam was siting at the table next to us with the other two girls and s no other people I hadn’t had the pleasure of meeting, and hopefully wouldn’t. “I just wanted to say thanks for the new outfits, they’re going to look great at the club tonight. Are you coming?” She asked sweetly but her underlying tone had an edge to it. She smirked and tilted her head to nerves were rising quickly. the side mockingly. I heard giggling coming from the table next to me and

I stepped toward her and lifted my head. hands on “No, i prefer good company,” I said, and smiled sweetly at her. Melina sifed and placed her h her waist and tilted her hip out. Her eyes shifted and she looked behind me, she flicked her hair over her shoulder and a cat-like smile grew on her face. “Hey, Aiden,” Oh shit. “Move.” He said and Melinas eyes fell as she stepped to the side. His voice was dark and husky, h must’ve gotten up just after I did. “See you later then,” she under her breath and the giggling stoped. I could feel their eyes burning in the back of my head but I assumed they came mostly from one person. Aiden placed his hand on my lower back and carefully nudged me forward. We sat down at the table and I turned my head too look at the table where the girls were sitting. Sam was glaring at me, Melina was scowling and talking to the others and no one looked happy. This was just what I needed. “You two slept in this morning, especially you, Aiden,” Marie said and her smile was somewhat worrisome as she looked at her son. “Is everything alright?” She asked him and took a sip from her coffee. Aiden didn’t answer, he poured a cup of coffee and closed his eyes as he drank it. “How is he?” Aiden finally asked and looked at his mom. “He will be just fine. Doctors said as good as new by the end of tomorrow,” She said and smiled 3/4 11:31 Tue, May CHAPTER 12 loinvgly at him. “Is somebody hurt?” I asked and looked around the table. “Nothing you ned to worry your pretty little head with,” Cole said and winked. I clenched my jaw and turned to Marie.

“Ouch,” Cole said and jumped in his chair. His eyes met Maries and her lips turned up in a smile. “There was a rogue attack yesterday and Bob was hurt badly but he’ll be okay,” Marie said. So that’s what Aiden had been pissed about when he came back. 4 4/4
