How About Us (Us, Book Two Completed)

Chapter Seventeen

The feeling of rumbling, dizziness and headache is making me weak. I walk downstairs to unexpectedly smell a food cooked from the kitchen. To my surprise I saw Clark cooking for breakfast,

"Good morning!" He greeted with big smile.

"Good morning." I answered with a very tiring tune. "What happened last night?" I asked,

"Well! You just text me to go with you to have a drink and when I arrived at the bar your almost drunk and so I drive you home." Clark explained sarcastically, "Anyway, what was that for?" He asked,

"Nothing!" I defensively answered.

"Really?" Clark said, "Well! So your now keeping secrets from me." He said,

"It's not like that, Clark." I calmly said, "I'm not in the mood to talk about it, besides what's the reason of talking about it." I said.

"Okay! That's what you want then." He said, "Here let's get some breakfast." He added,

"Thank you!" I responded, "Can I have a hangover pill." I said trying to get rid the seriousness of the atmosphere between me and Clark.

"That's what you get." He said smirking.

We eat the breakfast together and talk some other things so I can forget what happened last night. It's so difficult but soon I'll recover from this. As the clock tic to eleven, I heard a knock on the door,

"I'll get that." Clark said,

"No! I'll get that." I insisted even though I'm still hanging and floating. As I open the door it's Andrea, what is she doing here?

"Roran?" She called while pretending myself to act normal though I'm still hangover.

"Andrea, what brought you here?" I asked,

"Hmmm… Can we talk?" Andrea said, I wanted to but for now I think I can't really dare to talk about Arielle and her misleading memories of me.

"I'm sorry, Andrea but I can't make it for now." I refuse,

"Please! Let me apologize what happened last night. I know it's hard but, please?" She insisted but my head is still dizzy to talk about it.

"Maybe next time, Andrea. I'm so sorry." I said and shut the door. It's difficult for me to do that but I don't have a choice.

I returned to the dining and,

"What was that?" Clark said,

"Nothing! Just a neighbor want to have a deal with their product." I lied.

Then another knock went to the door that starts to annoy me,

"What's that again?" I said scolding with annoyance, I open the door when, "What do you want?" I scolded and to my surprise it's Maya standing in the door.

"Are you scolding at me?" Maya asked.

"No! I thought it's…" I was about to say it's Andrea but I lied again, "The neighbor playing tricks again." I defensively said.

"Can I come in?" Maya said, I opened the door wide and she get inside and, "What's that annoying smell?" Maya said directly going to the kitchen,

"Oh my! Did you just say annoying smell?" Clark said being stunned.

"Who is this?" Maya curiously asked.

"That's Clark, and…" I was about to finish when Clark interrupted,

"Let me introduce, Roran. Hi! You must be Maya, I'm Clark Sanders, Roran's cousin." Clark flirty introduced himself.

"Hi! You sounded not like Roran." Maya said that made me smirk but my head aches.

"Ouch!" I react.

"What happened to you?" Maya asked worriedly.

"Nothing!" I said when Clark spoil it,

"Well! He just drunk too much last night and now his ending up dizzy and feeling weak right now." Clark said straight.

"Was that about what happened last night that's why you drunk?" Maya asked.

"Not to get into this conversation but what happened last night aside of him being drunk?" Clark ask annoyingly.

"Shut up!" Maya and I said together that made him shut his mouth.

"Fine! I'm sorry!" Clark said.

Maya and I talk went to the backyard to talk private while Clark decided to watch Netflix.

"So! What really brought you here?" I asked,

"It's about Arielle." Maya said,

"What about her again, Maya?" I said, "After what she did, all along I've been trying so hard to be on her side then what now, when she get up and call me Adam?" I said straight with annoyance.

"Could you calm down just a second!" Maya said,

"What else I should know, Maya?" I said,

"Doctor Smith said last night that usually after the coma they likely to be confused at first, but then they usually remember what happened before, and typically, there are some rehabilitation therapy is still needed to fully recover." Maya explained.

When Maya said that, I just remain quite and did not say anything.

"So! What are you going to say about that?" Maya said,

"Fine! I was just overreacting but I don't think if I can still handle anything." I said.

"Don't worry! I know Arielle will be fine soon. That also won't happen if without your help." Maya said. "So what do you think about that?" She added,

"Fine!" I simply answered.

"And about, Andrea. You should say sorry for rejecting her earlier. She told me that you didn't talk to her." Maya added.

"Okay! I'll talk to her." I answer.

Our conversation ended and Maya stayed for the day to help me with Clark and everything else then I guess, Doctor Smith made a clear statement for that. I'm just so embarrassed for reacting that much. I should have listened first before I jumped on conclusions.
