SINFUL ATTRACTION

CHAPTER 6

{ LUKE }

......

"He's okay but I can only talk to his family." The nurse affirms.

"For crying out loud she's his Girlfriend!" I shout at for a second time since she has a hearing problem or so.

Immediately after I set my eyes on Martin, I couldn't wait any longer. In the company of Liv, Nat and Camila we drove him to this hospital. And since we arrived barely clocking an hour right this second we've received no news whatsoever.

They only want the family and won't talk to Liv, that's according to what the deaf nurse is implying. One thing that I've learnt about Liv and Martin, despite my short stay here, is that Martin's parents don't approve of Liv.

The former hate her to bits. Reason being, I don't know. No wonder she was reluctant to call them and Camila had to step in her shoes and call Martin's parents for Liv.

Liv is restless, walking here and there, sitting from seats to the floor, leaning from walls to next to me. My assurances of everything will be fine doesn't seem to help.

Nat and Camila walk back with coffee for each one of us. Where are Jake and Alex when they're needed?

"Thank you." I say as I grab hold of mine and so does Liv. She's really not okay. My phone rings amidst watching over Liv, checking the caller ID, it reads Alicia. It now hits me that I was to accompany her over to her therapist.

I'm about to inform Liv about it, when...

"My son has been brought Here." My ears hear a worried voice. "His name is Martin McArthur." And I turn around to see the said person, who is talking to one of the attendants on the registration desk.

Clearly she's Martins Mum. That goes without saying. Her sight alone is just a bad sign. Immediately so, Liv gets up from beside me and walks over to Martin's Mum. Without hesitation or lapse of second, a strong slap lands on Liv's cheek, which has the entire room scared.

Nat and Camila can affirm that.

In no time I'm up on my feet and next to Liv.

"This is all your fault!" The mom angrily says. "Time and time again I've warned you to stay away from my son!'

"With all due respect, nobody knows what happened to Martin. He's even lucky that we showed up in time otherwise who knows what could have happened. So if you want to blame someone, blame your son!" That came out correctly as I didn't want it to.

Pulling Liv aside, I embrace her in a warm hug because tears were clouding her eyes.

"I'm sorry." I say as she pulls herself from me, wiping her tears.

"Thankyou." She says with a slight smile.

When I'm done explaining that Alicia needs me, Alex shows up, worried sick. Walking towards Liv to hug her, she instead curves him.

"You and Jake don't like Martin, so I don't understand what you're doing here." That's Liv. "I don't need you here!"

After what seems to be a careful thought, Alex doesn't move an inch.

"You're right. And I'm not here for him, I'm here for you." Alex says before staring at Martin's Mum. "I'll take you to my place. You'll stay there, you can't stay here with Martin's Mum around."

"If it was up to me, I'd rather Luke. He's caring enough to watch over Alicia who for the past months has been battling depression." That's Liv and Alex doesn't say a word, but instead looks shocked. "Last time I checked, You and her were cozy, and after Jake found out, you left her like she meant nothing." Liv isn't holding back.

" Come to think of it, Jake has every right to be mad at you and from now on so do I!" And Liv walks away as I and Alex stare at each other.

{ CAMILA }

What started as a peaceful night, a get together, a fun night, turned out for not what I thought or expected.

Because here I am, in the company of Liv, heading to her home. For one reason or another, Nat was held up, but I don't buy that. She has other plans, I'm sure. Luke on the other hand was needed elsewhere and for Alex, Liv hates her. I could only stare at Alex as Liv was angrily addressing him.

I didn't know that both of her brothers hate Martin. One thing is for sure, when Ash mentioned that Liv had devils for brothers, tonight that was slightly confirmed.

My phone beeps amidst my thoughts. It's a text message from Alex

Take care of her.

How thoughtful of him.

For the short time I've known Liv, she's really a good person, and I don't want secrets to come ruin our friendship. She has been so open about herself than I have been to her.

"I need to tell you something." I say, and she spares me a glance before focusing on the wheels.

"Alex and I had a one night stand on the very first day we met."

But she remains silent.

"Come on, Liv say something."

"So long as you didn't cheat on your partner."

"I don't want secrets to come in between our friendship. And I don't have a partner."

She just smiles. That sure enough is a good sign.

She promised that her mom doesn't bite and when we arrive it's the only thing that is bugging my mind. Their mansion is humongous, for lack of a better word. Their gateman, so generous as he offers to drive and park the car after letting us in. His name, Bill.

"She's not in. She travelled for work." Bill responds after Liv inquires about her mother.

Liv helps me carry my bag since she drove me to my place, had me pack for the entire weekend and since Ash was who knows where, I left her a text and she just replied 'have fun'

That's not my sister. She rarely lets me go out but I on the other hand was meant for out. I'm a partyholic, I do drink, controllably and uncontrollably, I hate relationships, since my last boyfriend...

"Welcome." That's Liv opening the door for me.

Helping me with my bag, she leads the way to the guest room and I have to say that my bed is way too small compared to this.

"I hope there's alcohol in the fridge, I need to drink this night off." She says.

"What about Martin?" I ask.

"I can't call him because his mum will just hang up. Since he's okay, I'm sure he'll call." She says as I follow her downstairs. "Enough talk about me, why don't you have a boyfriend?" She asks.

Everyone has scars that we all hide deep. Scars that are meant for me and me alone and that scar is what she just asked about...

Vote💙

what could that scar be about? What is Camila hiding?
