Chapter 15- The one where I go with the flow.

[ C A R A 'S  P O V  ]

When I returned back home, Wendy was on the couch with Will on her lap. I sigh, this was my family now. This was my present. I carry Will in bridal style and lay him down on his bed. I wrap him up in his comforter and get Wendy's blanket from her room and cover her in it.

I let her sleep on the couch because I couldn't carry her to the bedroom. I go upstairs and I notice the looked room opposite my room and let out an easy breath. I go to my room and take the key out and go unlock the room.

I check to make sure no one had seen me and slip into the room. This was mom and dad's old room. Dad has never stepped into this room after 6 years. When Del left, when mom left, Dad knew he couldn't sleep in that room again, let alone enter it without getting shook. 

I enter the room and the smell of flowers hug me. I choke on my voice and my breath, it had been a while since I got in here. "Hey mom." I say to the empty room and cuddle myself into her blanket. Her warmth, her aura, her scent embracing me. "I'm staying the night with you, mom." I say and choke on my words.

I give the room a sad smile and close my eyes. I never had to pretend with mom. I never will have to because mom isn't just a Leviane. She's Bianca Leviane, the woman who doesn't buy the bullshit and who handles it better than anyone.

I walk past the glances of my classmates as I take my seat. Reggie and Nancy rush into the class. A few of our classmates shout insults at them but they don't care, they are headed to my direction. It was the first time they were seeing me after I disappeared on them.

"OHMYGOD YOU ARE ALIVE." Nancy says and gives me a side hug. I awkwardly give her a hug. "Stand up and come give your old man a hug." Reggie says and I ignore him. Hell fucking no. I was gone for a day. They definitely knew how to over act.

I see Aiden walk to his seat. His eyes studying all of us but I don't let his eyes connect with mine. They can't know. They can't know I was with Delivigne. They can't. She's my old hiding spot. Reggie pulls me up and crushes me into a hug. I groan but hug him slightly.

Nancy joins in. I groan again. "Cut it out you guys. I'm still mad." I say and the both of them scoff. "We missed you so much." Nancy says and I can't help feel slightly lighter. Someone notices my absence and presence huh?

"GET TO YOUR SEATS. NOW." Our professor starts. All of us scramble to our seats. I let Reggie and Nancy sit together but they won't stop talking to me. I'm lost in my own head. "Silence the three of you or all of you will have detention." Our professor starts. Reggie and Nancy straighten up and don't bother disturbing me.

I feel a slight kick in the back of my chair. I leave it alone. It happens over and over until I snap and my head spins to that direction. My jaw clenched, my eyes burning, my hands now in a fist. I start in a low and aggressive voice. "You better have a good fucking reason to piss me off, jerk head or I'll make sure you don't have anything to jerk off later." I say and my eyes meet Aiden.

His eyes are twinkling. I don't back down. I keep my spirit. "I just wanted a pen." He says softly. "Ask someone else." I say and when I'm about to turn back I let my menacing voice continue, "Don't try to piss me, jerk. You'll have another thing coming for you. Capiche?" My eyes are filled with anger.

Note to self: therapist. Need him. Where's the dude when you need him?

I need to calm myself down. Count to 10, slow, think of the beach, think of the waves, think of puppies, think of the park. Think of anything other than sad and depressing thoughts.
