Chapter 42

*** Akali POV ***

"Wassup?" I answer the phone with a mouth full of food, "You just chased me away there is no way I am going to go back-"

"Are you okay?" Ahri interrupts me, "You take a lot of things way to seriously with me, I am not a witch-"

"I know," I pause the video as I cross my legs in the chair, "But why are you calling all of the sudden?"

"Worried about you," she expresses with a sigh, "You have this thing where you just bottle things up and then let it out with punching and kicking - are you sure you are okay?"

"Kinda."

"And? How is the situation at home? Do you need me to come over or do you want to come over here till he is back?"

"I am... kinda comfy here, besides you coming here is just going to make everyone's brains go numb - there have been a few gatherings but Conrad made sure not to tell them about me and keep them away from this side of the house."

"Are you sure? This is the same Conrad you said you didn't trust."

"He is a bit cooler now," I admit, "I am fine," I smile to myself, "I'll be fine, okay?"

"Alright, call me if you need me."

I nod to myself as I lean back into the chair, as if on cue I hear knocking on the door, "Hey, want something to eat?!" I glance at my snacks on the table and I have made a little bit of a mess.

I then call back, "The door isn't locked."

He opens it, "Sorry. Didn't want to bother, I am going to make food if you want anything?" he then looks at the table, "Good god you made a mess of the place."

"Tell (Y/N) and you are a dead man."

He lifts his hands in defense, "ALso nobody will be coming around for a while till the night before (Y/N) comes back - makes me feel kinda bad having you lock yourself up in this room and not being able to get out."

I then climb out of the chair as I state, "I don't mind - I am fine either way."

Three days have passed. Four days left. Please come home soon, I am starting to feel lonely.

*** Normal POV ***

Sitting in one of the recliners, my focus is on the three of them rather than my books in front of me. The past three tests were a breeze and they have been taking it not so seriously - I just feel like the group kinda... falls apart when nobody really is trying to involve me.

I don't really care, the air is awkward just because I am dating Akali. It either comes from trying to be spiteful or jealousy.

Then interrupting my thoughts, Grace taps the side of my leg with her fingers, "You have been pretty distant, put the books down and maybe hang with us for a bit?" I look at her as she offers me a smile.

"I could probably."

She then breathes out, "Nobody is going to force you but we are trying to enjoy it a bit - I mean you are already a top performer so you might as well take some time to enjoy yourself," she then leans closer, "Besides, they are a bit jealous of you.'

I chuckle, "Why tell me that?"

"Dunno. Though it would help boost the ego and the mood?"

I shake my head at her, "I don't think my ego needs boosting," I then twist my lips to the side.

She then tilts her head as she holds her hands behind her back, "Well. If this is because of what happened between us then don't worry - I mean I'd probably also choose Akali if I had to choose between you and her."

I furrow my brow at her, "Uhm?"

"Okay maybe this is getting a bit too weird?" she chuckles, "Come on, I am just trying to lighten it up between us."

"With awkward conversation?" I eye her suspiciously.

"At least I am trying," she then gestures, "Going to join?"

"Sure," I lift myself.

Might as well trick myself into enjoying it. I glance at my phone to probably tell Akali for the hundredth time that I really can't stand it being here and just want to get home to her... only for her to reply that I should admit to missing the PC just as much.

It is kind of unfair, I have known my PC for longer.

*** Akali POV *** 

The rest of the day has been slowly turning into just hanging out with Conrad, I did end up leaving to go and meet up with the girls for the night. But... it was still hard to just shake the thought.

I hate myself killing my own mood and probably theirs. Why am I worried? Would something really happen to (Y/N) making him not like me anymore? I don't think so. Will someone be able to steal him? I doubt it because it took so much work just to get the kid to touch me like I am his girlfriend.

I just miss him.

My own fault for not being able to enjoy myself. Arriving home I park my bike in the garage and head straight for the door - pulling it open I announce my return, "I am back!"

Conrad is standing in the kitchen with a beer in his hand, "Sup? Enjoy your night?"

And then there is that other guy... I already forgot his name, "Heya."

I ignore him as I state, "Kinda don't want to spend my night being in the room all night actually."

Conrad then looks at him, "Heard her, Justin. Go home."

He shoots him a gaze, "What? Bro I just came here and you are already sending me home?" he then looks at me, "Look I just want to hang out with my friend, I am just visiting some old friends for a couple of days. I promise not to bother you."

Conrad then lifts his shoulders, "Up to you."

I sigh, "Really don't care, do what you want to do."

I head straight for my room, putting the helmet in the corner I undress from my going-out clothes into something a lot more comfortable. It is his guest so I'd rather not be a bitch about it, but moving out is on my mind the moment (Y/N) gets home.

These random visits are seriously going to lead to a bad situation very soon - people think they can shoot their shot at celebs and think that despite my reputation I won't put them in the ground.

I wasn't raised that way, if you pick a fight you better be able to pull your punches.
