🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

☠️ Aiden's p.o.v☠️

I turned on the bed, feeling weak like I did something strenuous?

I sat upright and massaged my head.

Stupid hangover..

I looked around the room...

Can't really remember entering here...

I must've drank too much...ugh!

I heard the shower running from the bathroom and i furrowed my eyebrows.

Then my eyes landed on a black lacy female underwear on the bed.

I pulled off the duvet covering me and saw that i was only in my boxer shorts.

Did i.....?

Darn it!

I tried to think of where i could've dropped my phone.

Mom's gonna be super worried about me. I didn't tell her i wouldn't be able to go back home yesterday.

How could this even happen?

I made a total mess of myself yesterday...and to think I later ended up in bed with...who the hell is the b* by the way?

Who the freaking hell does she think she is to lay with me?

Perhaps a whore?

I pinched the bridge of my nose as I groaned in frustration.

I stood up from the bed and searched for my clothes.

I'll just drop some money.

The bathroom door opened and a lady came out with a white towel..

"Oh..you're up boo". She cooed and i cringed when i got to see who it was.

The fuck?!

"Courtney?" I muttered, in a state of disbelief as i thought i was hallucinating.

"Yes sweetie". She replied, walking up to me.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I asked in distaste.

"Whoa! That hurt my feelings". She pouted, placing her hand on her chest.

She looked down at my bare body and i rolled my eyes.

I forgot i was practically naked.

"Hey! It's rude to stare".

"Not when you're my baby". She said and closed the gap between us, then bit her lip.

"You were so sweet last night...I missed that...I missed us". She said in low tones, then loosened the grip on her towel and let it fall, leaving her stark naked. I stared blankly at her.

She wrapped her arms around me and pressed her body against mine.

I simply pushed her away...

"I wasn't in my right senses, and you took advantage of that". I said.

Speaking of that...I felt really dizzy when i sipped my drink last night. Normally i could take four bottles straight up and still feel kind of sober.

But i just took two glasses and I became dizzy.

"What did you do?" I asked her.

"What do you mean?" She asked in return.

"What did you do to me last night?"

She's a sly fox...she could've done something to me.

"What are you talking about?" She scrunched up her face.

"Cut the act out already". I sighed..."I know when you're pretending".

"How can you say that?" She feigned innocence.

She walked up to me and began to caress my face.

"I know you probably hate me now  because i hurt you...but I'm really sorry babe".

There she goes... changing the topic.

"We could start anew and put our past behind...forgive me please". She muttered, embracing me.

"Don't go all intimate with me...step aside." I said, but she only tightened the embrace.

"Please babe...pleaseee". She sobbed.

This is sickening

"Just stop the crap already!!" I yelled at her.

"I won't stop! You hate me... I don't want you to hate me...I can't live with it". She cried.

"Get off me, while i'm still being nice". I said calmly.

"No.." She murmured.

"I want to hear you say you love me, again".

She's crazy...

I scoffed. "You want me to lie to you?"

"Even if it's a lie, just say it". She muttered.

"Truth is, I don't even want to say it as a lie...now get off". I grumbled.

"You said you loved me...you told me you couldn't live without me...you loved me, what happened to the love? What happened to us?" She sobbed.

"I loved you and you hurt me...to be honest, I was a fool back then, and at least I learned a lesson...thanks for that". I said.

"How can you say that? I didn't mean to hurt you.. please Aiden, you're hurting me right now". Her voice broke but it didn't matter to me.

She's really good at pulling up some acts and I can't be fooled a second time.

"I've forgiven you...but don't think we can go back to the way we used to be". I said.

She detached from the embrace and held my face. Her eyes were misty...

"I love you Aiden..." She muttered.

Back then, those words meant a lot to me coming from her, but now it just sounded so off and dishonest.

"No you don't.." I murmured.

"You should stop deceiving...."

She brought her face closer and cut me short...locking her lips with mine.

It was so sudden, i didn't even have the chance to back away.

She deepened the kiss, while i just stood transfixed. I didn't return it...I just let her explore my mouth..

I've never tasted a more tasteless kiss.

It was nothing compared to the kiss i had with the kitten...it might've been a meaningless kiss then...but i suddenly crave for a kiss with her again...okay why is that? And why am i thinking about her right now?

I gently pushed Courtney.

"Stop". I said..

"What's wrong?" She asked, feigning innocence again and it was vexing.

"Just stop all these okay? you're annoying me the more". I grumbled.

"You know you love me...you just don't want to accept the fact you do". She said, in a pissed tone.

I sighed..."Shut up".

"Just accept the fact goddamnit! Tell me you love me!" She snapped all of a sudden and it irked me.

"No i don't.." I said.

"You do".

"No.."

"You love me!" She yelled

"I don't fxcking love you! How can I love you when I love someone else?!" I blurted in anger, then bit my lip...

How did it slip from my tongue?

Silence filled the room as she stared at me, unbelievably..

"Who is it?" She asked finally, breaking the silence.

"None of your business".

I shoved her aside..."Put on some clothes and stop making a fool of yourself".

"It isn't that pesky bulldog is it?" She scoffed.

"Where's my phone?" I asked, ignoring her question.

I saw her face lit up as she wrapped the towel round her body...

"I believe Bella has it". She replied

"Tch...the pesky bulldog!".

Why does she have it..

"Bella?" I asked surprised.

"Well....last night, I think she wanted to give you your phone, but then she came in and....well, I don't know what came up..she suddenly left the room, without doing so, when she saw us." She said and i saw her try to hide a smirk.

Wait...what?

Sh*t!

Why did she have my phone anyway? 

I ran my fingers in my hair and sighed deeply.

Goddamnit! Why did she have to see us like that...

"You planned all these... didn't you?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow.

"Wh-what are you talking about...you can't just accuse me falsely". She said with an angry pout.

"I'll get to the bottom of this...and if I find out you set this whole thing up...". I paused and tried to calm myself.

"Stop making me feel like I'm the worst". She grumbled.

I walked to the bathroom..

"Aiden...I love you". She said.

"To hell with your love". I murmured.

🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

I left the hotel few minutes after Courtney did and i headed for my house to go change my clothes, then I went to school.

"Where the hell have you been bro? I called your number countless times". Jerry gasped out when i got to class.

"I don't have my phone". I said grumpily.

"You suddenly left us last night without telling us". Lucas said.

"I'm just glad you didn't go kill yourself considering how wasted you were..". Carlos grumbled.

I scoffed and looked towards the kitten's seat, she wasn't there.

Raven and the Redhead weren't on their seats either so I presumed they were hanging out somewhere..around.

"Where's Raven?" I asked, facing the boys.

"The field...it's sports time". Lucas replied

"Oh.."

"You guys aren't going to the field?"

"Nahhh... I'm exhausted...last night was hot men!" Jerry said

"I'll be back". I said and stood up, leaving the class.

"What's up with him?" I overheard Jerry ask the others.

I approached the field and scanned the area in search of Raven...

The kitten will definitely be with her.

"Aidennnn..." I heard some girls scream and they rushed to me.

Tch..

"Aiden...you were so awesome at the court yesterday".

"I've missed you Aiden...where were you since?".

"Can I walk with you Aiden?"

"Aiden, will you be my date for the prom?".

"Aiden can you hold my hand for a few minutes?".

I sighed and poked the inside of my cheeks as i ignored them and continued  searching for Raven with my eyes.

"Aiden are you busy right now?"

"Can i have your number?"

"You're my favorite senior".

"Who are you looking for?".

I stared at the girl who asked the last question, while the other girls were touching my biceps.

"I'm looking for Raven". I murmured.

"Omigosh! He replied me!!". She screamed, then paused..as a look of horror took over her face. I mentally face palmed myself.

"Ra..ven??" the girls asked, in a shaky tone.

"What's the prob...??" I heaved a sigh of relief when I heard Raven's voice.

The girls scurried off...on her arrival.

"Where the hell have you been?" She asked folding her arms.

"I spent the night...out". I grumbled and looked behind her.

"Looking for someone?" She asked, her famous naughty smile on her face.

"Where's she?" I asked... Thankfully she understood who i was looking for.

"Someone is behaving freakish... what's your secret?" She wiggled her eyebrows.

"Cut it out...tell me where she is".

"Over there...why are..." I didn't let her finish her statement, I brushed past her to the direction she pointed.

"Aishhh!" She hissed.

*

I felt a tug on my shirt from behind and turned around.

"Here....Chloe said to give it to you" The kitten said in a low tone, her eyes downcast as she held out the phone to me.

I collected the phone from her and she turned to leave...

"Wait.." She didn't stop... She continued walking away, quickening her steps.

I sighed and stared at the phone...

Chloe??

*

"How the fuck did you get my phone?" I growled at a shivering Chloe who held out her hands, joining them in plea for her life.

I had dragged her all the way from the class to the Janitor's closet.

"I...I..um...you mistakenly dropped it". She stuttered.

I scoffed..."next time try using another lie...now tell me how you got my phone!!"

"You dropped it...I...I promise".

I sighed deeply and glared at her...

"You're fortunate that i don't hit girls...if you don't fxcking tell me the truth...I'll make sure i don't hit you but make you beg me to kill you". I growled, clenching my fist.

She whimpered, trying to feign innocence.

I punched the wall close to her face in anger and i didn't even care if i bruised my knuckles.

She yelped and closed her eyes...

"CourtneygavemethephoneandshetoldmetogiveittoBellabecauseshewantedhertowalkinonbothofyouwhileyouwereonbed!"

The words came out pretty fast from her mouth as she mumbled and jumbled them up without taking a chance to breathe.

She opened her eyes, breathing heavily..."I'm so sorry...I never wanted to be part of her plan...".

"What did she do to me?" I asked.

"She...she drugged you". She joined her lip together and stared at me with pleading eyes.

"When we got to the counter to get the drinks... She made sure she separated one of the bottles and kept it specially for you...and then she mixed it in the drink, then poured it out in a glass for you".

I cringed as i remembered i accepted a glass of wine from her last night.

That bitch!!

"I swear on my life....I did nothing but give your phone to Bella as she ordered me to...please...spare me....I'm too young and pretty to die".

I casted a glare at her and stormed out of the closet.

♥️ Bella's p.o.v♥️

"Wait.." he called out, but i ignored him, walking really fast away from him.

He was prolly looking for his phone and not me anyway.

I headed for the restroom.

Stupid of me to think he'll actually have feelings for me.

Or maybe I should dye my hair blonde...and wear blue contact lenses. Guys seem to be attracted to girls who possess those qualities.

I sighed and ran into Courtney and Claudia, they were coming out of the restroom.

"You stupid bulldog...how dare you leave those broken pieces of glasses on the floor? Were you trying to get I and Aiden hurt?" Courtney asked.

I ignored her and wanted to walk past..

She bursted out laughing.

"I actually enjoyed the look on your face...it was priceless".

So she was awake huh?

"You actually thought Aiden would like a low life like you? Scuse you... you're clearly not his type. He can stray away all he wants but he'll come back to me you see... he's mine and only mine". She said with a smirk.

"Didn't your mommy warn you not to take what belongs to others?". She cooed and pouted.

"Aw...did that hurt your feelings? Ayy he was amazing last night... unfortunately you didn't get to see how amazing he was..." She licked her lips and flipped her hair to the side.

"You're no match for me...just back away. He will never like you". She let out a snicker and pulled Claudia, and they left.

I bit my lip and tried to stop myself from tearing up. I dashed into the restroom.

🌞Third person's p.o.v🌞

"Arrrghh!" Courtney yelped as her head was yanked backwards and her neck bone cracked.

"How dare you?" Aiden growled, increasing his grip on her hair.

Their classmates watched in shock...

"Ow...ow.. you're hurting me" She cried out, tapping on his hand to release her.

"I asked you about what you did last night...but you lied about it...you pretended like you did nothing to me! How dare you drug me?!" He yelled at her, ignoring the gasps of his classmates.

"What are you talking about..ah"

"Stop pretending!!" He pulled her hair hard, making her head bend backwards. "How about we ask Chloe again".

"Chloe?" She whimpered.

"I...I...am sorry...let go of my hair". She gave in finally as she couldn't deny what she had done anymore.

His hand trembled as he gripped her hair....he was so angry he didn't even know what to do to her.

"I told you.. I'll get to the bottom of this...didn't i? You stooped so low to drug me just because you wanted to lay with me? How stupid can you be? You're tryna make it clear that you're nothing but a dirty, disgusting whore!" He spat, angrily.

His classmates began to murmur...

"I will never forgive you for what you did". He said, releasing his grip on her hair.

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry....I promise, nothing happened between us...you fell asleep and i didn't do anything...I just simply laid close to you... please... nothing happened". She cried as she fell on her knees, pleading.

"I know.." he grumbled. "Even in my subconscious state....I can't allow you touch me". He smirked.

Bella came into the class, her head hanging low, totally oblivious to what was going on.

"Apologize to her". Aiden muttered suddenly.

"What?" Courtney asked.

"You heard me right".

"Why should I?"

"You touched her man".

Loud gasps filled the class.... Bella looked up, popeyed.

"Wh-what?" Courtney stuttered.

"Didn't your mommy teach you not to touch what belongs to others?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

She looked at him in horror as she remembered she had used that line on Bella, some minutes ago at the restroom.

He left her and walked to Bella who was still transfixed, standing at a spot.

He took her sweaty hands in his and stared into her confused eyes.

"I'm sorry". He murmured.

She opened her mouth to talk but nothing came out..

"Don't be mad at me please" He continued.

Still, she tried to talk...but no word came out.

He pulled her to himself and embraced her..

"I love you Bella". He said.

Okay...that was the last straw that broke the camel's back.  She became totally speechless as she stiffened in his embrace.

The three magical words rolled out beautifully from his mouth.

The three magical words she was dying to hear.

The three magical words that made her heart stop for a second, before racing.

The three magical words that made the whole class dead quiet like a graveyard.
