chapter five

/ arya /

as matthew continued to drive, i was looking out the window and observing the buildings i haven't seen for a long time, especially i always stay inside our house. more or less, inside my room. i am not the type of person who goes to a lot of parties, has a lot of (fake) friends, or anything like that. i'm just...me.

"deep in thought, huh?" he lowered the volume of his car radio.

"yeah." i replied, without any emotion at all.

he pulled up to a stop beside a mall, before removing his key from the ignition and removing his seatbelt around him. i was confused at first, of course, but i followed him instead. he didn't say anything, he just hopped out of the car.

i hastily hopped out too once he did.

i walked up to him on the other side as we went inside.

-

the mall was dead priceless. people were everywhere, like you won't be able to walk freely. "so," i leveled up beside him as we were both walking. "what're we doing here?" i asked, removing my sling bag and hanging it on my left shoulder.

"because it's your birthday, i'm going to buy you anything you want." he looked down at me and ran his fingers through his soft hair as he smiled.

before i could speak, he interrupted me. "what do you want for your eighteenth year, princess?"

by just the sound of it, made me cringe. no one has ever called me "princess" and i would rather be called by my nasty middle name.

"please stop calling me that," i rolled my eyes and started to walk farther away from him.

"arya wait," he sprinted and grabbed my forearm, stopping both of us from walking. "i'm sorry, i didn't know you hated it, but it won't happen again, i promise."

"don't make promises you can't meet, okay? but yeah, i forgive you." i widely smiled at him. "can you send me home?"

"sure, but don't you wanna eat anything?" he gave me a sympathetic look.

"no, thank you, let's go play some xbox in my house and chill." i grabbed his wrist this time and dragged him all the way out of the mall back to his car.

once we reached his car, we both hopped in and wrapped ourselves with the seatbelts. he placed his key to the ignition as he drove away.

-

the whole car ride was just composed of songs dramatically playing in the background. no words, just nothing but the two of us deep in thought.

the thing was i was curious on who he really was. and how he knew about me. i was starting to get worried about everything, especially i didn't even know what his surname was. stupid. i knew that we met for a specific reason, but i guess this was not the right time to know. i admit, it's pretty scary but cool at the same time.

all of a sudden, matthew pulled to a stop and i did not even realize that we already reached our destination which was our house until he snapped his fingers in front of me. i blinked a few times before hopping out of his car.

i led the way to our front door. i searched for my key inside my bag and when i successfully found it, i hastily opened the door, but only to reveal the most disgusting things in the planet all happening inside our house.

the smell of smoked marijuana and beer combined entered my nostrils and made me nauseous. arsyn was making out with a white haired guy i have never seen before. jack and jack were using my xbox while they were high as the statue of liberty. or maybe way higher.

i immediately cringe by just looking at them. and it revealed who my sister was.

"okay motherfuckers, party's over!" i yelled, as i felt matthew leveling beside me.

they all stopped what they were previously doing before looking at me all at once with their weed red eyes.

"oh christ," i shook my head. "yo arsyn, you might as well explain, right?"

"no explainin' for you, bitch!" she stood up, trying to search for her balance but soon failed.

my blood boiled, and her choice of words just made everything worse. i did not want to argue because everything would just end up like shit, especially arsyn was high. and i was still shocked because i never knew she could do such horrible thing.

matthew whispered something in my ear that i wasn't able to hear because the music turned all the way up without anyone controlling it.

my body stopped for a minute, and felt like the time stopped, too. everyone stopped what they were doing, like someone pressed the "pause" button.

shit.

what the heck is going on.
