CINDERELLA NEXT DOOR

CHAPTER 7

Crystal's P.O.V

"Fine" I said, I know she likes him and soon I'm goingto make her accept it. I know her past is still haunting her, but she has tomove on, she can't be like this for all her life.

I turned to mirror for the last time to check my hair as we'releaving then suddenly I saw Alice's face, she looked terrified and the way shewas looking at her phone made me nervous. Before I could ask her what's wrong,she fell to the floor. "Oh my god, Alice what happened, Alice" Itried to wake her up but it was no use. She was unconscious; I quickly took outmy phone and called Max and Aiden.

"What happened to her" Aiden yelled holding her up aswe rushed out of the restroom. "I don't know, she got a text and afterreading that she fainted" I whispered terrified to see my friend like that."Ok guys, first let’s take her to the hospital, then we will discuss thethings" he said and we nodded running to the jeep. Max quickly starteddriving to the nearby hospital. After reaching hospital we took her to thedoctor and he told us to wait as they took her inside, so we did. Aiden wasworried and Max was talking to him, then I thought of seeing Alice's phone tocheck who's message was that.

I took her phone out and opened the text messages, after seeingthat message I was in shock "this can't be, he's back" I whisperedloud enough for Aiden and Max to look at me. "What’s wrong crystal,who's back" Max asked rushing to me and before I could answer the doctorcame out. "Doctor is she ok?"Aiden asked him, the doctor nodded"yes, she's fine, just a panic attack. You guys can meet her and she cango home" we nodded and went to her room. "Alice" I went to herand hugged her tightly "he's back" she said and I nodded "I knowAlice, we have to tell them" I said to her while pulling back. She gave mea confused look "oh god, please girls will you just tell us who'sback" Max yelled and Aiden was looking at Alice to get answers. "Wewill but please let’s go home first, i don’t feel good here" Alice saidand Aiden nodded.

After we all reached home, "I think we should stay withgirls tonight" Max said. "That’s a good idea" I said glancing atAlice and she nodded. We entered our apartment and I made Alice sit on thecouch."Max let’s bring something to eat" I said and dragged him out"Aiden look after Alice we'll be back in 15 minutes" I said and leftgiving Alice a look motioning her to talk with Aiden, she sighed and nodded.

Aiden's P.O.V

"I will get some water for you" I said and went to the kitchenbringing a glass of water for her "here drink it and relax" I saidhanding her the glass. She drank the whole glass in a gulp and looked at me"I think I have some explanations" she sighed "yes you do, butfor now you have to rest" I said taking the glass from her and sat besideher. "Aiden" she whispered, I looked at her as tears were fallingdown her cheeks "hey why are crying?" I frowned holding her face inmy hands wiping her tears" I'm scared" she whispered betweenher sobs, I sighed and hugged her tightly "why are you scared" Iasked rubbing her back "I scared of losing people who are around me, Ilost my parents, my brother and now I'm scared that I'll lose you all" shesaid which made me smile, she's scared that she'll lose me "Alice, nothingwill happen. We all will be with you and you'll not lose anyone and mostimportantly you won’t lose me okay my dear Cinderella” I smiled still holdingher.

She was still in my arms, her head was resting on my chest andshe was holding my shirt as if I'm going to leave her. I glanced at her faceher cheeks were dry with tears. I kissed her on forehead holding her closer tome.

Hearing the door open I saw that Crystal and Max were back "shh she'ssleeping" I whispered motioning them to keep calm. "Take her to bedAiden" crystal said, I got up and took her in my arms walking towards herroom. "I'll keep some food in the oven, if she wakes up you guys caneat" she said.

I laid her on bed and pulled blanket over her she held my shirtand didn't leave it. I smiled at her and got under covers pulling her into myarms, "i don't know who made you so scared in your past Alice, but I'm goingto stay with you and I'll never leave you" I whispered and kissed her onforehead. Smiled I drifted to sleep by holding her in my arms.

Alice's P.O.V

I woke up feeling warm and protected, suddenly I realised that someone isholing me in their arms. I looked over my shoulder and saw Aiden, I didn't knowwhy I was comfortable in his arms I was never this comfortable around someoneafter my family died. He was something that I couldn't run away from. I smiledas I touched his face he was cute while sleeping, I didn't know why but a partof me wanted to kiss him "good morning Cinderella" he smiled with hiseyes closed and I pulled away from him suddenly feeling shy. "good morning”I said and got up from bed. It was 1 in the night, "ahhh Aiden, I’m hungry"I said as my stomach growled "come lets go to kitchen, crystal keptsome food for us in oven" he said and we walked to kitchen.

"Sit here Alice, I'll get some food "he said"I'll get it Aiden "I said but he glared at me "Alice it's fineyou sit there and I'll get the food" he said, I sighed sitting on thecouch. He went to the kitchen and brought food for me, my stomach was growling,I smiled shyly "wow, too hungry huh, well this is all for you to eat"we both sat on the couch silently eating. I felt like he's staring at me,"Aiden why are you staring at me" I asked as i noticed him, he stillcontinued to stare with a smile on his face "is there something on myface" I asked confused "Alice" he said leaning towards me, myheart skipped a beat, I bet my face was turning red and I looked at his lips.He ran his fingers on my lips and removed something from the tip of my lips. Iwas still looking at his lips "Alice, you are so beautiful, like aprincess" he said "that's the reason you call me Cinderella" Iasked him smiling. We were too close now, I could feel his breath on my face"yes, you are like my princess Cinderella Beautiful and Mysterious" hesaid holding my face in his hands.

I don't know what I was doing but I felt like kissing him, he came more closerthat our foreheads were touching, I felt his warm lips on mine and without thinkingtwice I kissed him back.
