Taken As Hers

Chapter.14 Rachel Became Mad For Me

I reached my house and started cleaning it, as it was the weekend for me.

As I worked, I thought about what Arnold said this morning, when we were jogging.

His parents dislike him because he was a gay. How cruel of them? They do not have any values.

I don't hate them, but i don't respect them either.

I know for one thing, how it feels to not have parents, for i never had any, and i did not choose it.

But Arnold choosed to be far from them, and I don't blame him. Even though I know how important and a part of your life parents are, you still can't help but hate them, when they do something awful to you. Arnold's parents are like that.

But one thing I observed this morning was, Jack seemed too close to Arnold, it's like he was protecting him, and Arnold was oblivious to it.

Whatever their problem was, will i ever know!

Emma was not back yet, and I regret shouting at her. But I don't regret telling her off. I should have finally had to say something to her, and I did it.

She didn't want me, and I will respect her wishes, just like I wanted Rachel to stay away. I don't like to be biased.

When I told Rachel to leave me and to stop loving me, how can I pressure Emmy!

I was sweeping the floor when I heard the sound of a car on the driveway.

I waited, and saw Emmy come through the doorway.

She was looking beautiful in her new dress, but looked tired at the same time.

When she saw me, she gave me a light smile.

I smiled back "Hey, you......, you ate breakfast?" I asked.

She nodded and came to sit down on the sofa slowly.

I can see the embarrassment between us. This is her house too, but the shouting that happened between us has made some unbreakable distance between us. And it saddens me.

I stood in my place "So.... that boy... Mr Trentino...."

"He is my friend Leo," She said fastly.

I shook my head "That's not what i was asking. I mean where is he now? Is he not coming here?" I asked.

She looked with her eyebrows raised.

"I mean.... I feel bad actually. The first time he came, I ignored him fully, and made him wait out and... it was rude of me." I explained.

Emmy started smiling, and soon she started laughing.

My cheeks tingled, and I stood silently while she laughed.

She stopped laughing slowly "Leo, you never change,  do you? Always so polite, and respectful  to everyone. Don't worry, he doesn't mind it, and you can meet him next time and give your greetings" Emma smiled.

Seeing her smile brought a smile on my face.

I nodded to her and resumed cleaning the house, while she sat with a comfortable silence between us.

"So... what do you say about, we both going out today evening to eat, it's been so long, since we have gone out. If you want, we can invite Trentino too" Emmy said carefully.

My heart stopped. And I am dead.

I felt dread creep into me, but not for the reason I thought it would for, that is when she talked about that Marco guy coming, but because there has been fighting, whenever I opened the talk about Ela.
