Illusions (Alt. Ending)

Chapter 11 (PRESENT)

ALESSANDRA'S POV

I forcibly kept myself in my bed upto eight but I was half asleep, not really, I was just pretending to be asleep.

I pulled the duvet over my head completely when the sounds of wild kissing along with some sounds I don't want to describe, just didn't stopped coming from near the door. I was thankful to whoever had arranged the dorm rooms had the idea of putting the beds at the far ends from the door, near to the balcony doors.

The sounds became wild. It cringed me. My skin crawled and i splendidly controlled my strong urge to throw up right there. Instead, i pressed the thick duvet on my ear holes tighter than before.

Now, I'm regretting my decision of lying here, faking to be asleep when I'd woken up hours before.

Last night, all the students had a blast, atleast everyone had, except me and Ervin maybe. The old gymnasium that was lying abandoned behind the boy's dormitory, all of them somehow had successfully turned it into a party venue within a few days span.

I did have walked inside the party along with Vanessa and Ervin, Kaiser was already there waiting for us. Then, all of them had drinks, I refused but Vanessa forced one glass inside me, probably two. Then, she joined her gossip girlfriends on the dance floor, of course she did tried to drag me there with her to dance but I stayed unmoved. She tried to convince me a little longer before she gave up, finally. Kaiser was long gone when few of the boys had came to him to check on something, as he was the head organizer of all that chaos.

So, it was just Ervin and me who sat bored on the bar counter. I carelessly sipped on another glass of drink and then another but I kept the count. I'd total of five glasses. Ervin realized I was getting tipsy when he took me outta the party.

The fresh air filled my lungs replacing the alcohol contaminated air and I breathed in as much as I could fill in my lungs.

Ervin and I walked on an old path, beginning off a little away from the gymnasium gates. Both of us strolled down the path and ended up in that old park I'd seen from afar that day while coming out from the back of the boy's dormitory.

The park was dimly lit from all that bright party lights coming from the gymnasium.

We took a seat on one of the benches by the pond. The moonlight formed a trail of sparkling diamonds on the water surface. We sat in silence for a while, it was a peaceful silence before Ervin broke it. " Red, should I not go back home and stay here, with you? "

I turned my head to look at him. His genuine eyes made my heart melt into liquids.

I love his eyes. Ervin's eyes are deep blue shade with brown central heterochromia. I love his eyes. I love- no. It's not.

And before my not-in-control mind would've done anything stupid that I had have regretted later, I removed my gaze away from his.

But my fingers found his finely built muscular arm and wrapped themselves around it as I kept my head resting on his shoulder. The warmth his presence radiated made me felt home. The home I'd forgotten what it felt like. Even his scent has a calming effect. I know.. I know he-

I closed my eyes and exhaled heavily before I opened them back. " You should go home. I will be fine, don't worry about me and get stuck here. "

He kisses on top of my head before he says, " I promise I'll be back soon. If you ever feel alone just send me a text or call, I'll be standing right infront of you. "

I felt the rush of blood in his veins beneath my fingers. Felt the heavily beating pulse on his wrist, under my touch. His heart was racing, I could tell, by his pulsating blood vessel.
