FOREVER MEANT TO BE MINE

Chapter five

"Hey we're here, wake up" I hear Ace repeat over and over.

"I'm up" I say almost asleep.

"Okay well I'll text you when you have to do a delivery, here's your phone" he says and he hands me my phone, I'm so thankful I have my phone back, I don't use it very often, but I feel kind of safe having it with me.

"Ok" I say and I get out of the car still sleepy, and not being able to think about anything. I go into my house, I take a shower, go check on Ellie, and then go straight to bed without a worry in my mind, but I know that will only be today because I can't think of anything that's not sleep right now. No matter how much trouble I got myself into, as of now I'm only happy I got to come home with Ellie, and sleep on my own bed.

I wake up to the sound of my alarm, and when I look at my phone it's 6:00 am. My mom is already home and Ellie is at her room. I go downstairs to make myself some breakfast, and when I'm done eating, I wash my teeth and start getting ready for school.

"I'll pick you up, we need to talk" I get a text from Ace. I believe he saved his number on my phone. 

"Ok" I text him back.

After I'm ready I tell my mom I'm leaving and I text the bus lady I won't be living with her today.

"I'm right outside your house" I get a text and I see it's from Ace.

I walk outside and I see his motorcycle parked on my driveway.

"Hi, can you leave really quick please I don't want my mom to see that I'm not leaving on the bus" I tell him hurried.

He takes off as fast as he can before saying anything, and then he stops when we turned around the corner.

"Put on the helmet" Ace says in a serious voice, I swear he's always in a bad mood, I don't understand how every girl in the school is crazy over him, I mean I get he's hot, but his personality sucks.

"Do you always have to be this serious?" I ask before taking the helmet.

"I told you to put the helmet on" he orders me.

I do as he says and I put the helmet on, when I do he takes off again, and I just stay in silence since his way of driving this thing really scares me.

He parks on the school parking lot and I get off and start walking away, he said we needed to talk, but hasn't said anything, so I take that as a good sign, at least it means I won't be having to deliver anything any time soon. But before I get to walk away he stops me.

"I said we needed to talk" he tells me.

"I know but then you just didn't say anything, and I'm kind of late for class, it's 7:25 and we start at 7:30" I say checking the time.

"The world is not going to end if you get to class late, what I was going to tell you was that you have a delivery to do today" he says, and in my mind I'm already as nervous as I can possibly get, delivering drugs has not ever been something I saw myself doing, and just because of some bad decision I'll have to do so now. If I get caught I can start forgetting about studying medicine, because which school is going to accept me with such thing on my record, I can start forgetting I have a family because they'll never talk to me again, and I'll probably end up being homeless, or you never know maybe I become a drug lord, after being traumatized by my life events, or maybe I could stop overthinking all of this.

"I can't today I have work" I tell him realizing that I work today.

"Get this straight, I'm not asking you if you can, I'm telling you that you have a delivery to do today, so be here at 2:45" he orders me rudely.

"Oh and don't you dare be late, if there is something I can't stand is people who are late for business" he says and walks away.

The time went by really fast, when I actually didn't want it to, I've been doodling on my notebooks the entire day, which is unusual for me, I'm always taking good notes and paying attention, but today I haven't been able to, this whole delivering drugs thing has me going crazy. I'm already on my last class of the day, which is AP English Literature.

"What do you think Chloe?" the teacher asks me probably noticing I wasn't paying much attention.

"Could you repeat the question please?"

"Do you believe desire is a dangerous emotion?"

"Well I don't exactly think it is dangerous, you can desire to have something, and it can inspire you to work harder to own it, you don't need to take it as far as Macbeth did, his desires were dark desires and he was willing to do anything in his power to get what he wanted" I simply explain.

"Thank you Chloe" she tells me and continues with the class, as I continue doodling.

"Class dismissed" the teacher tells us and we all leave.

I decide to go to the bathroom and call my manager to tell her I won't be able to go today since I hadn't been feeling well, she simply told me to get better and that it wasn't a problem. I'm so thankful to have such an understanding manager.

After calling her I look at the time and it's 2:34 so I decide to go buy some chips because I was really hungry, then I go to the parking lot and stand by Axel's bike to wait for him.
