Chapter 1
It’s been 4 years, 4 years since I started to act as if nothing was wrong, as if I have been living my best life. It is true if you see me in another person’s perspective, but somethings are better left unsaid. There was no happiness in my life anymore. Seeing that nobody believed me when I said the truth. Yes, it is hard to believe something like this, it is true that it might just seem as if I just made things up but how could the whole world forget about him? Even his parents had gone. Everyone who knew him just continued with their life as if he never even existed. I felt alone again after a long time of feeling that someone cared about me, about my health, my existence. The reason for me to be happy was taken away from me once again. The promise he made me when he left was the only thing keeping me alive
4 years ago….
’’yeah! Like I said I can’t live with you anymore, I stayed all this while only because of my kid” Alexi’s mother shouted. “It’s not just your kid she’s mine too, and our whole family knows about how much you care about Alexi, so much that you buy branded clothes with my money when our kid is sick” shouted her father back. Listing to them fighting was now a habit for Alexi. Her life has never been easy for her. She started working part time jobs to fulfil her needs when she came to know that her parents didn’t even care if she died the next second. It has always been like this ever since her younger sister died in an accident when they were playing out. Her parents always blamed her for aria’s death. She was now 16, even though she was beautiful she didn’t have any friends, not any whom she could trust. She always kept to herself.
ALEXI’S POV
‘It’s a Monday again, I am happy as I can go to school today. No more screaming in my ears at least’ I thought. The last 2 days has been hell for me like all the weekends. It’s always better at school, at least no one would bother me there. Sitting alone in silence is something I like the most. It gives me time to think and make sure that I am stable with my inner self. The bell rang and the teacher came in with a boy, by the look in his face he seems like he is going to be a pain in the ass. “Good morning students as you can see the boy standing next to me is a transfer student. Introduce yourself” the teacher said politely.
“Hi, myself Aiden, it actually means little fire but I’m big”, he winked at the girls who blushed, “I hope to have a good relationship with you all” he said smiling.
PRESENT
Eyes filled, smiling I remembered the first time I saw him. He was handsome there was no denying that
