Secret Love

Chapter Seventeen

Chapter Seventeen

“What the hell Ari? You do realize you’re going to get in trouble for that.” Just as Elliot said that there was a knock on his classroom door.

The principle walked in with Candy a tissue to her nose; I could see bruises formed underneath her eyes.

I couldn’t help the smirk that formed on my lips.

After everyone left it was just the principle, Candy and I in Elliot’s classroom.

“Arianne would you care to explain yourself?” he asked giving me a stern look.

“What’s there to explain, she was winding me up about my dad and I just couldn’t take it anymore.” I lied.

“What? No I didn’t I didn’t say anything to you.” She said.

I continued to lie “That’s bullshit stop lying you are already a skanky home wrecker, don’t add liar to it too.” I shouted.

I knew the guys were listening outside.

“Arianne please you’re not helping you’re case. But with you two having so much history I’m going to suspend you both for a week.” He stated.

“What?” we both shouted in unison.

I glared at her. Damn I really didn’t want to be suspended for a week I will go mad and plus I will have to spend all my time with Joe. Don’t get me wrong he’s a great man and I’m thankful he’s helping me. But he gets to much when it’s just the two of us.

I groaned and picked up my bag.

“Fine, do I come back Monday?” I asked.

“Yes come back Monday and I would like you both to leave now.” He stated and opened the door making Stacy, Jake and Toby fall to the floor.

I smirked and walked over to the door.

“See you later.” I said and ran off. Not before bumping into someone in the crowded hallway.

“Oh sorry.” I looked up and grinned.

“It’s quite alright Miss Celeste.” Elliot grinned back.

“I won’t be in your classes this week but I hope you can make it up for me Ell- Mr. Gold” I winked covering up my slip up.

He gave me a look telling me we will talk later, before walking away.

I ran to my car and drive fast back home.

“Hello, Joe?” I shouted throughout the silent house.

Obviously, he didn’t know I was going to be home early and for once in a couple of weeks I had the house to myself. I sighed and jumped on the couch.

About half an hour later, I heard something drop through the letter box. I paused the TV, I was catching up with the episodes of True Blood.

I looked down and the sure enough there was a letter on the door map.

Curious I picked it up noticing that it only had my name on.

“It was hand delivered.”

I stopped before I opened it, what if it was a letter from Peter.

“Oh god it might be a bomb.”

I ripped it open getting over my nervousness and stupidity.

Dear Arianne,

Peter is back in town, I write this letter to you to warn you. He is not going to stop until he gets you, he doesn’t want to lose against your dad. You need to watch your back extra careful now.
I think you already know that Candy is his niece, watch out by the way she talks about you. Watch out for her, she’s not as stupid as she looks.

Louis.

I gulped and re-read it about ten times.

“What am I going to do?”

 I slumped to the floor and felt the tears stream down my face and I didn’t bother to wipe them away.

Maybe I should run away and change my name so no one will know where I am and I can hide from Peter and Elliot can come with me.

“No Ari, you are not going to run away you need to face this, head on.” I took a deep breath.

I suddenly came frightened that I was in this big house all by myself and I didn’t even know whether someone was lurking around.

One thing for sure is I needed to watch my back and keep an eye out for Candy she is going to be difficult.

Taking another deep breath, I stood up wiping my wet cheeks and went to sit on the couch. Repeating in my head don’t worry everything is going to be fine over and over again.

I wasn’t doing a very good job convincing myself.

I jumped again when the door bell rang.

I felt my heart beat against my ribcage at a hundred miles an hour.

I slowly made my way over there and opened it really slowly hoping that would make a difference if I was being attacked.

I was making things worse for myself. Damn it.

When I finally got the door open I looked around and nothing was there. I frowned.

“Stupid kids.”

I was about to close the door when I noticed something on the doorstep my frown increased.

“What the hell.” I picked up the parcel.

It didn’t have a name on it, it could be addressed to anyone.

“Maybe its from Louis.”

I set the box on the table and when I opened it I screamed until my voice gave out.
