Chapter Twenty-Five |Part 1|

Kayden's Pov

Were my eyes betraying me ? I blinked a few time but the caramel skined girl was still in sight . What shocked me even more was the fact that she came with Aubrey .

The Aubrey that would bad talk her behind her back and agree with every nasty and hateful word I directed towards her .

Was she bipolar or just really in love with me to the extent where she'd agree with my every decisions , thoughts and actions . The lather I presume .

I watched as every boy in the room heads' turned to her . A few of them whistled causing her to blush and shrink away in shyness .

"Damn who's the hotty?" A voice said from besides me .

I was so caught up in anger that I didn't realise it was a girl's voice and raised my fist to punch them .

"Cool your horses bro." Veronica screamed with her arms still bracing her face from my impact .

My eyes widened at the idea of hitting Veronica and I immediately began to apologize .

"Nah it's nothing , now tell me ......... who is that girl and why are you acting so protective ?"

"That's the Natalie I told you about ." I simply responded and heard a loud 'Ohhhh'

We both remained silent and watched as Aubrey led Nat to the kitchen , most likely to get drinks .

"Imma be right back ok ?" V asked .

I just nodded and took another sip from my cup . Guess who's gonna get drunk tonight 🙋

- Flashback

I knocked harshly on her door and prayed she was home . After a good few seconds and no response , I sighed and was about to leave when I heard her loud and carefree voice bawl "Who is there?" .

"Kayden ." I replied weakly as if I had just finished crying.

The door immediately flung up , hitting me in the process and out came Veronica .

"Oh my gosh ! Are you ok , that's a really hard door ." Her hands frantically searched my face but I quickly reassured her of my wellbeing .

"C'mon in ." She moved aside and let me pass. "So what's up ? You good ?"

"Yeah I've just been heartbroken , but besides that I'm peachy ." I spoke monotonous .

I expected for her to gasp or some girly sh*t like that but then I remembered she was cold hearted and empty woman. Her previous reaction wad rare , getting sympathy from her was even harder . That's why I liked her .

Veronica you can say is a tough dog who had a tough life. Her pretty name is the only thing that ties her to being girly of any sort . She's the most rebellious and down to earth person you can find in this day and age .

Despite being bad influence and one of those people your parents warns you about , She's the best thing thats ever happened to me .

She understands me in ways no one can imagine .

V has probably the coldest heart known to man but somehow it's like she's taken a liken to me and has decided to take me under her care - not physically but mentally .

She's the parents I always needed . Despite her past actions and life , she acts as a motherly figure and makes sure I don't fall into her past bad habits . She wanted better for me and that's something I can't say for anyone of my blood relatives .

I remember 2 years ago when I met her in an ally . School was getting really hard and my father was stressing me out .

I heard from this kid in class where I could get some bud . He gave me the address to an alley where I could meet up with his dealer .

Little did I know I would meet Veronica .

I thought the process was just pay and receive but instead Veronica wanted to ask questions like "Why would the son of the local minister be buying drugs " and "Aren't you supposed to be a good kid "

I ended up snapping at her and she refused to sell me . Imagine how I felt , I mean she was the only dealer on this side if town and she refused me .

I felt so desperate that I started to beg . Finally she said let's make a deal , ' You seem like a good kid , hang with me for one day and I promise to sell you whatever you want and with a slight discount ' .

Of course I agreed and the next day I went to her apartment . Apparently she was some kind of super mind reader genius and was able to talk me out of purchasing the bud and we actually became really good friends .

From that day on she helped me with any emotional state I was in and kept me out of trouble .
