CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

Chapter 22

- Mia White -

When I walked back into the classroom, I was glad that the teacher gave them assignments for work on so their attention wasn't on me. Alright, there were a few people who looked up front their sheets.

I sat down at my desk, which was in front of Ace. I felt him lean close before he threw a folded piece of paper on my desk. I made sure that the teacher wasn't looking, and opened the crumpled piece of paper.

What did they want?

I looked at the teacher again, and when they were busy facing the whiteboard, I wrote a brief summary of what happened. I lightly threw it behind me, knowing that Ace would catch it. I heard him open it, and scribble something down before the paper was back on my desk.

Fuck his orders. He doesn't control you.

I rolled my eyes and put the paper in my notebooks as the bell rang. Ace grabbed my hand and dragged me outside of the classroom.

I told him that I was going to miss class when I realized he was dragging me outside of the school. He just grunted, and said I can miss one class.

But knowing my parents, missing one class was a very big deal to them.

Ace stopped when we reached his car before he let go of my hand. He opened the door, and looked at me, telling me to get in,

"Why?"

"We're going somewhere," he simply replied. I sighed, hoping that wherever we were going was going to be good. I'm skipping class for this!

I already know that Ace isn't going to tell me where he planned on taking me, so I just sat silently in the car. I looked out the window, and my heart hammered against my chest when I felt his hand on my thigh. My brows furrowed together in confusion when I noticed he was driving away from town.

The car stopped in front of what looked like an old abandoned area, and I would be lying to myself if I said I wasn't afraid. I'm not a fan of horror movies, and I definitely don't plan on living one.

Ace got out of the car and walked over to my side before he opened the door. He extended hand which I immediately took. When he closed the door behind me, he led me to the fenced area. There was a part of it bent so people would walk through, so I'm guessing people have been here before.

"Don't worry, you're safe with me," Ace assured me when I squeezed his hand. He gave me that heart melting smile of his and helped me get through the fence.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see," he chuckled.

We kept walking until we reached a wall covered in vines. I looked at him with a confused look which he only laughed at. He moved the thick vines with his hand, and I realized that the vines were covering an archway.

We walked through, and that's when my eyes widened at the place in front of me. A large tree stood in the centre as small flowers of all kinds surround it. Attached to the tree was one of the best tree fort I've ever seen, and beneath that was a small picnic area with what looked like all my favourite kinds of foods.
