Unorthodox Love

》ChaPteR TWElVE《

I walked in to the corridor where Axel and Kaden had their fist fight. It felt as if it were months ago. I found it kinda funny to feel as of life has just passed on fast forward and we barely even felt all of it only until now.

Like that movie Clicked.

I remembered watching that movie all alone in my grey painted room on a rainy day while binge eating.

That movie told me about regret, a whole lot of it. And though it was solely comedy, I actually cried about it. Because I thought my brother could represent the main character, or my mother too.

I thought that maybe somewhere in their cold bodies there might be some warmth that actually made them human and make them care.

So human that they actually regretted treating me like an apprentice than family.

But the tears stopped when I found out the truth,

They were never going to regret it.

They were just like me. Full of so much pride that I couldn't be the bigger person in every situation. I don't regret. I just forget.

I forget about the problem. I forget about the people involved. And sometimes I forget my sanity, I forget that I still have it.

But that moment I did spot someone who definitely regretted something.

Kaden.

"Ava" he breathed when he spotted me. He looked like Shit honestly. His hair was messy and totally not in the attractive way, he had bags under his eyes and his once moist lips were chapped.

If I weren't mistaken he looked paler too, but I don't really know that.

I didn't regret leaving him in that diner. In fact, I enjoyed it. Axel and I had a delightful time and I bet it couldn't have been the same with Kaden.

I pushed pass him and pretended he didn't exist.

"Ava, please I'm sorry. Talk to me, please." He practically begged following me like a lost puppy.

The sight would've been funny to me, but I couldn't find a glimpse of joy, at all. I was livid. Stone cold right now. I don't know how I should feel. I certainly didn't do anything wrong, so I shouldn't regret whatever I was doing. If I lost Kaden, I wouldn't lose anything other than his presence which I didn't really appreciate at the moment.

Call me mean, but it's true.

"Please, just listen to me." He pleaded once again. He was saying other more things beforehand but those five words were the ones that struck me the most that it made me stop making my sneakers squeak against the floor.

My left eye twitched in both anger and annoyance. I was full of it, I had enough. I don't really snap at people but this situation was heading downwards from the beginning so he was probably going to expect it.

With my hands clenched to a tight fist I spun around cautiously.

"Why would I listen to you. When you don't even bother listening to me?"

He visibly flinched at my words but only a triumphant warmth filled my chest at his actions. He definitely deserved that.

"You don't understand--"

"And why wouldn't I?" I asked curtly.

He pursed his lips. "Because you don't know the whole story." He answered with his face devoid of any emotion.

Of course I had no clue.

"Then tell me, dumb ass." I muttered.

He sighed, running a shaky hand through his hair. "Axel... he... h-he" His voice wavered. He looked even more pale that he looked so uneasy, he was probably going to faint.
