CHAPTER 9- AUNT....

FLORA'S P.O.V

After a day of classes as a freshman in College, Noah and I were heading towards his scooters when I stopped and pulled on his hand to stop him as well. He turned around, giving me a questioning look.

What’s wrong? He asked.

What are we? I replied.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean, you keep on giving me compliments and I keep on blushing. I like you and I’m very confused on how you feel about me.

Holy shit. Did I just say that? I was still looking at Noah’s face, very nervous on what his reply was going to be when a determined look crossed his eyes and he grabbed my face in his palms and kissed me and I immediately kissed back. He pulled back when we started to run out of breath. I was very much disappointed that he had pulled away but I certainly didn’t want to die this moment as well. Was it even possible to die because of kissing?

Did that answer your question?

Yes. I answered still in a daze, the stupid grin never falling off my face.

Good. He replied. Smirking, he grabbed my hand and walked us over to his scooter.

After he dropped me off home, I went to the door and knocked. My mum was supposed to be home and her car was in the driveway so no emergencies at work. She works as a nurse at the local hospital so she always gets emergency phone calls incase another nurse couldn’t come in or does extra shifts to pay for the bills and food.

Before I could knock again my mum opened the door but she had a frown on her face. “Your Aunt Felicity is here” That was the first thing she said when she opened the door, no wonder she was frowning. Aunt Felicity was my dad’s sister and she always disliked my mum whatever my mum did to make herself liked by her. After what had happened, she always had blamed me and the reason she came a few times a year was to make me even feel worse about my self and the guilt buried deep in my chest come forth again. She was here the night it had happened so she knew everything, more than what the others knew.

My mum never blamed me for anything when she should have but she only told me that his time was up in this world and he had to go and that every living creature in this world is bound to die one day or another. I sighed and went inside dreading to find out what would happen.

I went into the living room and there she was, sitting on the edge of the couch like she was sitting in a disease-infected room.She was dressed up in a red skirt, white shirt and a red blazer; she was a brunette with a bob hair cut. Her head snapped up when she heard my footsteps and gave me a scrutinizing stare, it felt like I was shrinking, only a few seconds left for me to become 5 inches.

“How are you Flora?” She asked me while practically snarling my name. I was about to sign to my mum so she can tell her my reply but before I can she spoke again. “Oh wait, I forgot that you’re mute, my apologies.” Ouch. James unfortunately wasn’t the only one in the group of bullies in my life. I could tell that she wasn’t sorry at all but I wasn’t going to fight with her for dad’s sake because he never liked fights, especially the ones between family members so I kept quiet and just kept my head down and stared at the floor.

“It’s getting a little late, don’t you think Felicity? I think it’s time for you to go.” Thank you mum or I would have melted like butter under her glare. Aunt Felicity just huffed in annoyance, got up and slammed the door shut on her way out.

My mum hugged me and whispered in my ear that it wasn’t my fault but I couldn’t stop the tears from coming but I had learnt to control them after a while so I wiped my eyes and nodded at my mum that I understood and believed her and went upstairs into my room. I checked my phone and saw a text from Noah.

5:12pm, Noah: Do you want to go somewhere after school tomorrow?

8:10pm, Flora: Sure, where?

8:11pm, Noah: The coffee shop we first met at.

8:13pm, Flora: Can’t wait! Goodnight.

8:14pm, Noah: Goodnight.

8:16pm, Flora: Sweet dreams.

8:17pm, Noah: Only if you’re in it.

He even has the capability to make me blush through text messages.
