HERE FOR HER

CHAPTER 26- Hot tears

With every step I took with my eyes fixed on the road in front of me, memories of today's event flashed in front of my eyes.

You're mine.

His words echoed in my head.

I am not.

I stubbornly repeated in my head.
He made all those feelings come back in my life and hurt me like no one ever did before.
I would never want to be with him.
Ever.

And as for Aiden...
I'm not even sure why he's with me. Why he wants to be seen with me?
I have no idea.

But if he ever betrays me, I swear that would be the end me of..it would be the end of my soul.
I'm tired of people breaking me to the very core. I'm tired of being broken.
I'm the girl who's trying to be happy again, but can't because everything is so broken that she doesn't even know where to start. Its like there's a hole right in my chest. It's like something is always missing. No matter how hard we try, how much we want something.... Some...
Some stories just don't have a happy ending. It took me a while to digest it but somehow, I understand it now. Very clearly. And somewhere deep within me,  I was too scared to lose Aiden the same way.

With a deep sigh, I lifted my gaze to the empty sky above. Nothing but darkness enveloped the surroundings. The darkness seemed to be depressing and relaxing at the same time and it was the thing that made me realise how lonely I was even with the company of my loved ones.

Nothing could ever describe me better than the darkness of the night. 

I increased my pace. My heart started to pound inside my chest as if it would come out any second when I heard a car's engine behind me.

Damn, Bella. What are you doing here in the deserted street at this late hour all by yourself?

Disturbing thoughts started to corrupt my mind.
Who was it? The sound never seemed to leave my side. What if someone kidnaps me just because of my stupidity? I was getting worried and perplexed as the sound of the car getting nearer and nearer . I was already too frightened to turn back and see who it was. So I kept my gaze straight and walked even faster.

Suddenly, the car increased its speed and was just parallel to me. The driver was driving the car slowly so that we both were side by side.

Oh my god.

I was getting anxious by the minute passing. I wiped my tears away and walked, looking down at my feet.
I already had enough for the day and now, all I craved was my bed and nothing else.

"So where are the gifts your friends wanted to show you, huh?"
I heard a familiar voice. I turned my head to my side and saw the recognizable silver mustang.

"Hey, there." Aiden smiled at me, not his signature smile but a sarcastic one.

I turned my gaze back to the dimly lit street and kept walking. I definitely didn't wanted him to see me wrecked like that.

"So are you gonna get in or not?" He asked.

Silence.

With a sudden and sharp turn, he parked the car right in front of me, fully blocking my path. I could have just walked around the car. But I know this guy wouldn't gave it away so easily. He looked at me straight in the eye, his gaze never withering even for a split second. I tried to look elsewhere until it got really annoying.
At last groaned in frustration and walked to his car. I opened the door, sat in and closed it with a loud thud.

"Ouch. Girl, don't hurt Hailey, please!"

Honestly, I wanted to laugh at his comment but somehow laughter refused to leave my mouth. My eyes fell on my wrist and I quickly covered it with the sleeves of my sweatshirt. I looked over to Aiden and thankfully he hadn't noticed.
I started to look outside in the darkness. Well, nothing was visible to me, at least. It was awkward that he wasn't starting the engine.
