♡ chapter 12 : family reunion ♡

[ warning : this chapter contains a suicide attempt ]

6 days after the wedding, at nighttime, at Garroth's rooftop :

Aphmau's Pov -

I walked back and fourth, biting my lips.

"Aphmau. Calm down." Garroth said, sitting on the edge of the rooftop. "You don't have to go. I can just say you couldn't go."

I stopped. "No! I should go. I should go. But..."

"But?" He questioned.

"I don't know how to be around my parents after being free from them." I told him.

"What do you mean?"

"I always had to be perfect during my modeling time. I couldn't be myself around anyone, except my friends. But, now that I don't have that stupid habit anymore, I don't know what to do around my parents after these changes."

Garroth got up from the edge and hugged me. "You'll be fine, I promise you. I'll be there, Zane will be there, Vylad too. You have nothing to worry."

I buried my face onto his chest, listening to his heart beating. It was quite calming. "Thank you."

He chuckled. "No problem, Aph."

Next day, in the afternoon, outside of the Ro'meave Mansion :

As I got out of the Garroth's car, I stared at the huge building with my mouth wide open.

"You coming?" Garroth questioned, placing his hands in his white pants' pockets.

I straightened my black long skirt and fixed my sleeves of my purple off the shoulder long sleeve. "Yes! I'm coming!" I walked next to Garroth.

He fixed the collar of his royal blue polo. "Just stay next to me and everything will be fine."

I nodded. Then, my phone started ringing. I looked to see that Aaron was calling me. "Uh, Garroth, I need to take it."

"...Okay." He said.

I accepted the call and placed my phone on my ear. "Hey, babe."

"Babe, where are you?" Aaron asked.

"At the Ro'meave's place, for a family reunion. Why?" I asked.

"Can you come here instead? I feel lonely." He said. "Please."

I sighed. I've literally saw Aaron everyday, from morning to evening. The only times I don't see him are at night when I'm with Garroth. He has become very clingy and I don't really like it.

"Hello?" Aaron said.

"Aaron, this is important to me. I'll come tomorrow, okay?" I told him.

"Why not tonight?" He asked with furious tone. "Is it because you'll be spend time with Garroth and shit!"

"Aaron, what are yo--"

"You know what, whatever. See you."

"I lov--" The call ended. I sighed once more and placed my phone back in my purse. I walked next to Garroth. "Let's go."

Garroth grabbed my hand and walked to the front door. "Welcome to my home." He smiled widely.

"Wow." I looked around the place and everything looked so fancy and expensive.
