Touches or Stares (Bada Lee AU)

Chapter 26

Bada's POV

I haven't gotten enough sleep after last night I've been trying but I couldn't... All I can think about is Maddy.

She left a few minutes ago for her errands I wanted to drive her but she refused and she has been avoiding me so much. 

I don't have any face to show her to be honest... I just keep on taking the blows, when she's mad or when she's hating on me. I feel like in a way I deserve it. I left her, without explanations, without hesitation...

I kept telling myself that it was for her, that I waited but to be honest it was just reasons, because I was scared about how long will she be in love with me, that I'm waiting for something bad to happen or for something to fuck up our relationship and when everything went down I had a reason and that once and for all I might have something I actually regret... So I hesitated. 

If my Mom would ever know what I did her yells would be heard around the street

"Hey..." I raised my head to see Minah taking off her shoes and closing the door behind her

"Hey... How was Dad?" I asked her as I shuffle the channels on the television

"He's fine, did Maddy go out already? The snow is starting already" IShe said as she sat down beside me 

"That's good to hear..." I said as I bit my lips to ask about Maddy

"You know at first I thought I was just being stupid when I felt like there's something between you and Maddy" She started with her eyes glued on the TV screen

"What do you mean?" I asked her 

"Unnie I'm not stupid... Of course, I asked your Dad about someone that you were seeing back in LA, and he said that the name of that girl is Maddy... Explains why you two are so awkward together" She said giving me a small smile

"You don't have to worry I'm not going to make a move on her" I said as I leaned back on the couch

"You're funny... Maddy and I aren't in a relationship Unnie, it's just a no-strings-attached thing, we're really good friends, she's afraid of relationships now after you and I don't want to force her, I just want to remind you that she's my friend and I hold her very dear to me Bada, I don't want you to go around her and to treat her the way you did again" She warned me and I sucked my teeth in annoyance and I don't even know why 

I guess her being protective of Maddy is somehow pissing me off in a way that I don't understand

"You know I won't do that to her" I said to her

"I know what kind of pain you went through because of Maddy, Redlic told me everything... But you have no idea what kind of pain you caused her, you weren't there, even if I don't know that you are the one who caused her that kind of pain and even if she was trying her best to hide it from me, I can see and feel all of it" She added and I felt like I got punched in the gut by what she said

She was right I wasn't there, how dare I act like this?

"But... Given that she can't date anyone after you says that she hasn't moved on yet... If you want to make it right this time... I won't stop you" She smirked as she side-eyed me and I laughed 

"This is why you're my favorite step-sister" I said hugging her on the side

"I am your only step-sister" She replied rolling her eyes as she stood up and grabbed a bottle of water

"Where did she go anyway? I thought she's teaching classes at UGX at 3 it still early?" I asked her turning my head to her

"You still haven't told her that you'll teach there today too? You're such an evil... She's going to the hospital" I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion, she looked fine earlier, why did she need to go to a hospital?
