Adelle's P. O. V :
I sat on the ground, and started to sob.
I know it wasn't the time to cry, but I just couldn't hold it in anymore. It was too much for me. Too much pressure.I didn't hear anything but silence, and I didn't want anyone to talk to me. I wanted to stay like that, for a moment or two.
But then, I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I didn't look up, knowing that it would be Barron.He kissed my hair silently, and squeezed me closer to his warm body.
I admit, it was comfortable, and reassuring.
"It's okay, goddess. It's going to be okay."
He said, rubbing my shoulder reassuringly.I sniffled, sinking my head into his broad shoulder as he continued to comfort me, kissing my forehead gently.
Then I felt another hand squeezing my shoulder.
"Adelle, I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt your feelings like that, I was just upset. I appreciate what you're doing for the rest of us."I heard Rajwan mutter, squeezing my shoulder.
I let go of Barron, and looked into the younger one's eyes, my eyes still full of tears.
"It's fine, I guess."
I said nonchalantly, wiping away my teary eyes.
"You guess ?"
He asked, merely smiling. I nodded.He then wrapped his arms around me in an apology embrace, the one that says 'I' m sorry' without having to say the words.
I hugged him back.It was about time we went back to the location. Rajwan convinced me not to send the money, and I listened to him, knowing that he was right.
"So we don't send the money ? Well, what about the videos ?"
Barron asked as we walked back, his arms wrapped around me.
"I don't know, but we'll figure it out. Pitbull already has a bad reputation. If the people knew about him, he'll be done for."I said, and glanced at my brother. He looked back at me, and gave me a small smile. A small reassuring smile.
As we entered the set again, I saw Basma, holding her phone high to her eyesight, and texting someone.
I didn't guess who it was. I didn't want to. Maybe it was Caleb. But in a time like this, she would probably talk to someone else. Maybe because she hadn't known Caleb for so long.I sat on a bench next to Millie, Barron sitting right next to me.
Hold on..
Millie ? When did she get here ?
"When did you get here, Millie ?"
I asked as I turned to my best friend, who was concentrating on the situation that was told by Allison and Hayden.Wow, I miss a lot of things when I go away for five minutes.
"I came literally five minutes ago. Allison and Hayden told me everything. Listen, we'll sort this out."
She said, hugging me."Yeah, we will. We won't send the money anyway."
I said confidently, taking a glance at Rajwan.
"You literally just changed your mind after Rajwan told you. What did he say ?"
Allison said sassily."Nothing, but because he's right. Pitbull won't know what hit him."
I spoke, smirking.To Be Continued..
