Chapter-Three
Madeline POV:
My night was completely ruined after I came back inside. I couldn't
sleep for a second. Every time I try to close my eyes his face
appeared filled with confusion. I shivered thinking how intensely he
was staring at me last night like he was trying to solve the trickiest
math equation.
I still couldn't believe how I almost confessed my feelings towards
him, after being extremely conscious about keeping them secret for
last ten years.
I'm glad he didn't realized that my words held some other meanings,
the feelings I have been keeping hidden in my heart for so long came
pouring out tonight.
My alarm went off suddenly making me acknowledge that I've indeed
stayed awake all night thinking about "What if" and "I shouldn't".
Sighing I got up from the bed and went to get ready for the school. I
choose the lazy outfit which contain an oversize baby blue sweatshirt
with my black fitted jeans completely resembling with my state. I
didn't want to work on untangling my curly hairs so I left them open
and put the large black beanie on my head covering the mess.
Putting my black boots on I checked my bag twice to make sure I have
my assignment and notes that I want to give Milly.
Well despite being rumored that I have rabies, AIDS and what not
because of the courtesy of my evil cousin I still have friends and one
of them is Milly. She's sweet little thing with black straight hairs
and pale white skin that is flawless. She's Asian but moved here when
she was a baby because of her father business. Her boyfriend Mac is my
friend also and they're the cutest couple in the whole school, they
are lovely and funny.
Walking out of my room with my bag sling over my shoulder I venture
down and peeked outside from the lounge window to see Delia speeding
away. I guess today I've to walk.
After five minutes of walk I was panting like a dog who have run miles
away. I know weird assumption but damn I don't care at this point.
Putting my hands on my knees I took the deep breaths to calm myself,
my eyes were downcast and closed.
I heard the honk from the behind and straighten to glare the person
who's so impatient that couldn't wait for me to move aside. Snapping
my head I looked at the pink car and groaned internally.
The windows glass slid down and Laura's face appeared. She started at
me like two minutes with her mouth shaped in big "O" then she smiled
at me sweetly.
"Hi Maddy wanna ride with me?". She asked me in her overly cheery voice.
I hate when people call me Maddy but it's not like I'll tell them to
stop and they'll. It's like next to impossible for me to make everyone
forget this silly name after all these years.
"Um..If you don't mind". I said adjusting my bag on my shoulder.
"No silly. Why would I mind. Get inside". She said smiling and opening
a door for me.
I got inside hurriedly and the warmth of her car engulfed me making my
freezing hands and nose turning into normal temperature.
"So she left without you again". Laura said while driving. I nodded my head.
"You should've called Brandon. He won't mind giving you a ride to
school". She said with slay smile playing on her face.
She knows why I couldn't ask him to give me ride but still she makes
these snide remarks to make me realize how much power she have on me.
Laura knows everything about me, just like Brandon. We have known each
other for all our life but still all us have our own secret which is
hidden.
"How was your vacation?". I asked her glancing out from the window.
"Maddy I hardly call that vacation. My parents forced me to go because
they wanted me to meet some old aunt who I have never met before. She
was dying actually and just wanted to see me because I'm her only
niece". She told me making a disgusting face.
I didn't comment because it's useless to say anything to her and
change her opinion about old people's.
We arrived at school, she parked the car beside Brandon's parked car
in parking lot and we get out.
I went inside the school building hurriedly because I didn't want to
face Brandon yet so I made an excuse of going to my class early to
revise some test and left Laura.
The classes went like blur because I was sleepy as héll all the time
and wanted to close my eyes.
When the launch break come I went to the cafeteria and found Milly and
Mac posing for a selfie, rolling my eyes at their obsession on
uploading tremendous selfies.
Putting my bag loudly on the table I made them jump in their seats.
"Wow. Wow Missy. You scared us and ruined our best poses for the
beautiful selfie we were about to take". Milly said making me glare at
her.
I slumped down on the seat across them still glaring at their amuse faces.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed". Mac said making Milly giggle.
"Excuse me. Someone didn't sleep at all last night". I said putting my
head on the table.
"Oh that explains your zombie look". Milly said and Mac snickered.
"Mac I want burger go and get me one right now" . I said closing my eyes.
"He's my boyfriend not yours that you're ordering around. Go find
yourself one". She said playfully.
But her words stung somewhere in my heart making me grimacing at the
pain in my heart.
"I think I should help this poor damsel in distress. Until her prince
finds her". Mac said getting up to get me my lunch from the school
canteen.
"Why didn't you sleep last night?". Milly asked me.
"Because I couldn't sleep". I replied in a flat tone.
Then we heard the clicking of the heels coming in our direction.
Opening my eyes I saw Laura and Brandon standing in front our table
staring at me and Milly.
The big smile on Laura face made me little uncomfortable. When I moved
my head up from the table Laura screeched loudly in excitement.
"Guess what? We're officially together. He asked me to be his
girlfriend. Now I can kiss him whenever and wherever I want". She said
with full-blown smile and then kissed Brandon in front of the whole
cafeteria to prove her point.
I felt the bile rising in my throat at them kissing in front of my
eyes. It's not like it's my first time seeing them kissing so
passionately but every time I saw the feelings stay same.
The cafeteria was blatantly staring at them with their mouth agape. I
didn't have in me to watch more so I closed my eyes.
"Aww. Maddy. You can open your virgin eyes now". Laura said giggling.
I opened my eyes and started at Brandon and Laura. While Laura still
has a smile on her face Brandon looked confuse and uncomfortable.
I smiled little despite being falling apart inside and said
"Congratulations. You guys are made for each other".
At my comment Laura smiled more and replied lovingly "Awe. You're so
sweet Maddy. Thanks by the way".
I just nodded my head. My eyes caught Brandon staring at me intensely,
making me fidgeting in my seat.
Mac appeared with the tray in his hand which definitely contains my
burger. Putting my lunch in front of me he frowned and asked "Did I
miss something?".
"Laura and Brandon are officially together. Girlfriend boyfriend you
know". Milly said with the small irritated smile.
"Oh. Congrats guys". He said patting Brandon's shoulder.
Laura took the seat beside me and Brandon took the seat beside her
while Mac and Milly were sitting across us.
"Why aren't you eating Maddy. It's getting cold". Mac said pointing
his finger to my Burger.
Hesitantly I took the bite and regret it because now I couldn't
swallow it. The emotions I'm feeling right now making it impossible
for me to eat.
"You know guys. We just bunked the class before lunch and Brandon took
me to my favorite place where we had lunch then he gave me this long
lovely speech and asked me to be his girlfriend". Laura said smiling
dreamily at Brandon who smiled at her.
I felt my heart clenching at her words but I kept my face straight.
"Maddy you don't look good".Brandon said suddenly making everyone eyes
turned to me.
"Uh. No I'm fine. I just stayed up last night preparing the assignment
and now I'm sleepy". I replied feeling little nervous.
"If you want to go home I can take you". Brandon said eyeing to me.
"No. I don't want to miss school Mr.Obsessive. After break, I have a
test of history". I told him.
Thanks to God no one in my group shares classes with me so they
wouldn't guess I'm lying.
"Oh... But I'll give you the ride home. Laura told me how Delia left
without you in the morning". Brandon said with thick voice making me
gulp.
"Sorry Brandon but Milly and we're going to her house to hangout". I
hurriedly said.
Milly didn't say anything just nodded her head getting along with my lie.
"We've bought some smoothies for you guys with us from the place we
went for lunch. Go Brandon get them". Laura said.
Brandon nodded his head and got up to get whatever they bought for us.
Realizing that it's a good time to escape without looking a complete
jealous best friend I got up and said "I've to revise before a test so
I'm going please don't mind".
Looking at the uneaten burger I felt bad for wasting the food because
it's against my nature but today it's impossible for me to eat it.
Picking my bag from the table I said "Bye". And hurriedly left the cafeteria.
I ran inside the bathroom and tears started streaming down from my eyes.
Shít,shít,shít.. Why the hell am I crying?
Walking to the mirror I saw my tears filled eyes and wet face.
You shouldn't cry Madeline. You're tough.
I said to myself staring at the mirror. After staying strong for so
long, today I'm looking at the broken girl again. I have made myself
tough and unbreakable from experiences. This one little thing cannot
break me now.
Yes, it can. You wanted this little thing for yourself from so long.
I wanted this thing for me. Yes, I wanted Brandon to be mine. But you
can't always have what you want.
And he loves her not me. She loves him in return. They look good with
each other. Two beautiful creatures.
So who the héll am I to break them apart. I'm their friend and friends
don't hurt other friend.
Laura is territorial and she had claimed Brandon so long ago. She have
his heart from the starting for which I don't blame her. I don't even
blame Brandon for falling in love with her. It's not like you can
choose who you'll fall.
He loves me as friend and I appreciate it more than the other
relationship my brain dreams for.
Running the hand on my face I wiped my tears off.
You can do this Madeline. You can act happy for your friends because
they're in love even if it breaks your heart.
Sighing with the little speech I give myself to stop the immense pain
in my heart. Mentally I patted my back for stopping myself from crying
again.
I still remember my dad's voice telling me how proud of he's on me. He
always thought I'm strong like my mother.
If my mom was alive what would she said in this situation. She would
definitely advised me to kill the boy and get on the track back.
I smiled thinking about her and wished that I could have her and dad
again with me. I wish I could go to them and stay with them wherever
they're right now either above on the clouds or underground.
I miss my mother's lap where I used fall asleep after playing all day.
I miss my father's hugs after he came back from office.
I miss sleeping between them after having a scary dream.
Oh God! I miss my parents so much.
My train of thought was broken when the bathroom door opened.
I turned around to find Milly standing there with the blazing eyes.
Opening the tap I hurriedly splashed my face with water and turned to face her.
She looked at me with her scrutinizing gaze but didn't ask anything
and for that I was glad.
"Let's go. You've a class". Milly said dragging me out from the bathroom.
The voice behind me stopped me from walking, my legs turned frozen.
I contemplated between turning around and running far away.

CHAPTER-FOUR
Brandon POV:
I went to fetch smoothies from my car but when I came back to
cafeteria I found Madeline missing from the table. Walking towards the
table I placed the bag which contains smoothies jar on the table.
"Where's Madeline?". I asked them glancing around in the cafeteria to
see if she's sitting somewhere else.
"Well she have some test after break so she went to her class earlier
to revise". Laura replied, inserting the straw in the jar and passing
it to Mac.
I stayed quiet and sat with my friends chatting about here and there
but my mind was busy thinking about Madeline disappearance. I feel
guilty about ruining her night yesterday by going to her house that
late and seeking advice.
After few minutes Milly excused herself then Mac decided to leave
early for the class too leaving me and Laura alone.
"Laura you shouldn't have kissed me like that in front of whole
cafeteria". I said folding my hands on the table and giving her no
serious glare.
"Why? I just wanted to make sure that the girls know you're mine and
there's no chance for them anymore to steal you from me". She said
giving me flirty smile.
"Hmm...I don't think so anyone is brave enough to steal anything from
you Miss. Laura". I said.
"You're absolutely right Mr. Brandon". She replied and got up from the chair.
"I'm going to the class. See you later baby". She said and pecked my lips.
I stared at her moving figure stunned when she abruptly stopped in her
tracks making me frown at her actions. Then taking me by complete
surprise she turned her head to me and winked while biting her lower
lip in sexy style before continuing her way out from cafeteria.
Seeing her flirtatious behavior,it was clear that she's happy to be
with me and that's quite an achievement if you ask me.
My eyes landed on an extra smoothie left on the table and an idea
popped in my head.
Getting up I picked the smoothie and went on the search of its right owner.
Before I could enter in Maddy's history class I caught two very
familiar figures standing outside the school bathrooms, with the
discreet steps I walked towards them.
I was shocked when I saw who's standing with them and my jaw twitched
at the sight of Lucifer aka Connor standing there.
The three of them were still oblivious of my presence so dumping the
smoothie in the nearby bin I walked behind Madeline placing my hand on
her back little for support.
She gasped and turned her face to look at me. Her red eyes was enough
proof to show me that the bastard again succeeded in making her cry.
Tearing my eyes off from her sad, tired face I glared at the unwanted intruder.
"What the hell are you doing here Connor?". I asked him. My voice was
bitter, clearly telling him how much I hate his presence here.
"I'm back from London". He replied with the arrogant smile.
"Really? And here I was thinking that the last year of school will be
free from any drama and fights". I said with the sarcastic tone.
"Well Brandon it's hard to stay away from the beauty of Boston. You
see that's what dragged me back here". He said moving his eyes up and
down on Madeline body.
His lustful glance at Madeline body made me clench my fist. I was this
near of losing my calm and punching him straight on the jaw that's
when Madeline placed her hand above mine and made me still. Her
fingers started to create space between my clench fist. When the grip
of my fist loosen she intertwined our hands. Her hold on my hand
tightened.
"Try to stay away from my friends, specially Madeline". I said with
the threatening tone.
"And why? It's not like she's yours... Ah man you're acting too
possessive when she's not even your girlfriend". He said taking one
step closer.
Placing my hand on Madeline waist I pulled her towards me and said
"She's my best friend. I have hell of a right to act possessive
towards my girlfriend and friends... So it's a final warning Conner..
Back off before I made you". I said pushing him back.
"Let's go Brandon. It's useless to waste your breath on him". Milly
interfered first time in our conversation.
Getting in action she started dragging us both in the opposite
direction before we start to pummel each other. But my eyes still
stuck at Connor amuse face pining him down.
Madeline must have noticed my rigid face and rolled her eyes, telling
Milly to go to her class.
When Milly left giving us both of us cautious glances Madeline turned to me.
"Did he touch you tell me? I'm gonna kill him if he did". I said
taking a glance at the same place where Connor was standing earlier,
the bastard have disappeared.
"Brandon He was trying to agitate you... C'mon look at me I'm fine...
Relax". She said giving me a lazy smile.
"No. You're not fine. I'm taking you home so you can rest and have
your fill of sleep". I said with the force to make her agree.
Before she could create a lousy excuse to stay in school I said "This
is not up for more discussion".
She sighed and followed me to principal office where I signed both of us out.
Madeline stayed silent all the way to house making me nervous because
it's unusual for her to keep her mouth shut this long. She is a
chatter box always talking and smiling. I kept glancing at her somber
face while driving to her house.
When we arrived outside her house she opened her eyes and stared at it
with sad eyes.
Sighing softly she got out from the car and I did the same. Glancing
at me from her shoulder she asked "Would you like to come inside to
have a coffee or something".
I would have definitely declined her offer if it's any other day but
today is exceptional.
"Yeah sure". I said locking the car and following her inside.
Opening the door she called loudly "Emma, Emma".To make sure that
there's no one except us which is more than great for me.
I literally can't face her after last year incident. When Milly,
Madeline and I bunked the school to hangout and went to Madeline house
because it's usually stays empty in the afternoon. That day we caught
Aunt Emma in compromising situation with her lover in the house, doing
it on the couch. I shudder with disgust thinking about that day.
Closing the door I said "Either she's out with someone or knocked out
because of the excessive consumption of Alcohol".
"I really don't care... Not today". Madeline replied throwing her bag
at the table and slumping down on the couch.
"So what now?". I said staring at her slumped figure on the couch.
"I'm so tired Bran... Sorry for inviting you in when I can't even make
coffee". She said sounding weak.
"Then let's go to your room". I said pulling her up from the couch
because I know if she stayed here to long she'll fall in sleep on this
uncomfortable couch.
"Fine, Fine I'm up". She said getting up and taking lazy steps towards stairs.
I was quick to reach up by taking long strides when she was only
halfway. I waited for her to join me.
When she finally make it to me I said in a teasing voice "You've taken
your time". And received a glare in response.
Entering inside her room I smelled the most enchanting fragrance of
vanilla and roses. This fragrance is imprinted in my senses long ago.
Taking a deep breath I felt the instant calmness. Madeline, Laura and
I had spent so many days playing here, crying here after the fights
with mean kids in park and doing group studies with lots of fun.
Madeline straight went to her bed and slumped down again looking
drained while I'm still standing staring at her beautiful room. The
lime color wall was filled with so many pictures of us dragging me
back to memory lane.
She have a habit of taking pictures of every place and that's the
reason she have so many moments captured and placed on her wall.
The rest of the three walls in room are painted in off-white color,
nothing was hanged or placed on them.
White color silk curtain were draped on window and balcony giving the
room complete look. As usual her room was clean, too clean to even
guess if anyone lives in here.
Walking towards the bed I glanced at her face. She looked asleep, her
legs were dangling from the bed still clad in boots.
Amuse at the sight of her mouth open and droll coming out I retrieved
my cellphone from the pocket of my jeans and snapped her pictures to
tease her tomorrow.
Then as a good friend I removed her boots and pushed her legs up on
the bed. Pulling a comforter on her body I kissed her forehead.
"I promise Madeline... I'll not let him hurt you again----ever". I
murmured in her ear .
Glancing at her last time I left her house to go back to school to pick Laura.
