Life Ain't fair

Chapter 17

[Edited]

4 days later

It's been five days since me and Alex went to that diner and I can say that we have gotten closer. We have our night talks at the cliff everyday. We talk about everything and nothing. But he hasn't uttered a word about his mother yet. I keep waiting for him to do it but maybe he does not trust me enough or maybe she just is out of the country. But then he would definitely speak about her.

Me and Amelia had our shopping sprees at the mall along with Layla who is now added to our friends circle I mean she already was in Layla's before I came. Austin and her have a weird friendship. It's like a kid commenting on his elder sisters friends. It's actually hilarious. The comments they throw on each other are hilarious too.

Victoria hasn't bothered me since. I have seen her walking along the hallways along with Bianka aka fake brea*ts. Looking at her bruise I feel proud but still upset that I wasn't the one who inflicted it. I know I should feel bad for her but I don't.

Me and Austin still have our fights and talks. And I have also seen the friendship between him and Alex they are almost like brothers . almost?. My inner voice scoffs at me. Yeah they are brothers. May not be related by blood but yet love each other deeply even though Alex won't accept it.

It's Saturday today and I just came home from school to see that Mason was already home along with his friends Playing video games. I am not that into them but you know once you have a brother you gotta try it atleast once.

I enter the room and greet him.

His friend looks over at me and stares for a little while.

"Hey do you have a name or could I call you mine" he smirks.

"Eww asshole that's my sister there " Mason kicks his friend.

God teenagers these days.

He ignores Mason and continues.

"Are you lost cause heaven is far from here" this makes me chuckle.

" Are you a camera cause every time I look at you I smile"

God this is guy has them by heart. I wanted to stop his misery and told

" Well this is actually the first time you met me and don't worry you're not my type" I wink at him.

" Yeah brown haired males are " Mason mutters.

"What" I ask turning toward him.

He caught me and Alex going out on his bike once . It's not exactly caught but the fact that we were on a bike is making him tease me. Kids are definitely annoying.

"He's my friend Mase . Nothing more." It sucked to say those words but I knew that they were needed to be said. Because I am sure that there is nothing more. He is a player and I am the nice girl and he will never like me so I will not either. And after that moment the other day. Nothing ever happened between us both . We are just friends. However amazing he is he is an a*s. Spending too much time with him definitely gives me a headache and him amusement.

I went upstairs and completed my homework when I got a message from Alex

Asshole - hey

Me - hi

Asshole - watcha doin

Me - homework

Asshole - ever the nerd?.

Me - ??. Am not.

Asshole - are too.

Me - forget it Asshole.

Asshole - okay chill. I just wanted to talk 

Me - pissing me off is not talking

Asshole - okay. I just wanted to say that I have a surprise for you tomorrow.

My mom called me in the meantime to have dinner

Me - hey my mom's calling we will talk later.

Asshole- well I'm sure that she is the one going to give you the surprise. Bye . We aren't meeting today 

Me - okay?. Bye

I was still unsure about what happened so I went down confused and sat at the table.

"Well we want to say something." My parents began. " Well two things . One is that we are going to dinner with to my friends house tomorrow."

"Wait didn't your friends just come home last week"

"No they were just my old business partners. Now we are going to go to my best friends house" my dad says.

Oh god no. Please no. Even on the weekend

"Who's it" Mason groans. 

"The James" .

I wish he does not bite my head off. Don't get me wrong he is an amazing friend sometimes. He is a pain in the a*s a lot more. Yes we have had our talks but that's only in the dark admist the trees.

"Well there's something else" my mother nervously begins.

"What now" me and Mase groan

They look at each other and continue

"We are moving out" they say.

Wait what . Im shocked right now

"Are you serious" my brother asks. " Again".

" No well yes but no we are just moving out of this house. We rented this house only temporarily but now we found a house and we shall move" they say.

This relieves me a little. I always sucked at making friends until I came to Rosetown. Before it was only Cassie for me but now I have got Amelia Layla Austin and Alex . And I am so damn grateful to have them in my life after all the s**t I've been through.

We nod our head but I decide to ask 

"Where"

The answer they give me is seriously disturbing. I am facing mixed emotions right now. A part of me is so damn happy that seeing the place but another part of me is dreading that thought. It's actually scary.

I walk upstairs and before sleeping I see a message waiting for me.

Asshole - surprise neighbour

Me - f**k off.

Asshole - you are that disappointed living beside us. Am I really that bad.

Me - it's not you Asshole. It's just the moving. Im not found of it.

Asshole - ohh okay then. It's not going to be that bad. Maybe I could help.

Me - you would do that.

Asshole - anything to be near you sweetheart ???

Me - Asshole. Good night

Asshole - good night ???.

I turned it off and began to dose of into sleep praying that I am not blessed with any nightmares.

___________________________________________________________________________________

I am f*****g cranky right now. I got not more that 4 hours of sleep and it's driving me insane. I f*****g need my sleep. I woke up again covered in sweat. Panting and trying to get my breath back to normal. It is always the same but it was more today.

I went down for breakfast and Mason was his usual self trying to piss me the f**k off. I almost rammed his head on the counter. The only thing kept him alive is the fact that I love him.

I went to school along with Layla today. Imagine who I met first at school today. Nahh you guessed wrong it wasn't the she devil. It was the devil himself.

He came over to me and placed his arm around my shoulder. I was already pissed I did not need him to add himself to the list of people to die today.

I held his hand and twisted it.

"God what's gotten into you. You certainly woke up on the wrong side of the bed to today" he said. I tightened my grip

more

"Oww. That s**t hurts Sophie let go" he grits.

I come out of my state and start apologising to him. We had calculus for first period and Alex kept bugging me what was wrong with me. I finally told him that I did not get enough sleep. I could never tell him about the nightmares.

He decided to cover for me and told me to sleep in the class. Either way that was what I was going to do in his class. I got my much needed sleep from the class and I was finally no longer cranky.

Finally it was lunch and I walked to the cafeteria along with Austin.

We sat down along with Layla and Amelia . Alex hasn't come yet. God why am I thinking about him. I seriously need to get him off my head.

"What Austin missing your girl toy over there because she scared of my baby here" Amelia says hugging me sideways.

"Jealous much" he grumbles.

"You wish Hill. You wish" she says. And they both start to fight.

Her relationship with Peter is going well. But something does feel off about him but I am not able to pinpoint what

exactly is that. So I decided to let her tell me when she wants to. Maybe it's the fact that he is John's Friend. But I don't see them together often.

It was Saturday today and were going to Alex's house today for dinner. I was kinda dreading it as we will be moving in tomorrow. Well my parents already packed half the house and moved out. I was just too lazy to notice all of that.

I went home and completed my homework. We were supposed to be there by 6:30. And it was already 4:30 so I began to get ready. Don't get me wrong it's not because I need to put a lot of effort into getting ready. I actually hate it but like I said Cassie loves it hence I try to love it too. Maybe I did gain a little liking towards it because of it as I still try to follow what she taught me even if I don't need to. I need more time cause I suck at it.

I wore a black shirt along with a golden brown skirt and low heels. I curled my hair and left it down my shoulders.

I was finally ready at 6 and went down my mother looked at me and hugged me.

"My sweet little baby" she kissed me all over my face.

"Mom what happened. What are you doing" I ask.

"Nothing. I Just wanted to say you look beautiful" she said.

I smiled at her. And complimented her back. And well my father complimented me too. I don't know what has her in such

a state but she was really emotional. But I just ignored it and sat in the car. We finally reached after a few minutes.

And the sight of the house had my jaw dropping again. Yes I know that I have already seen this house but no amount of times can make out the beauty of it to be any less amazing and amusing. Last time most of the lights were off but now they weren't so it was even more beautiful in the night sky.

We went through the driveway and parked our car and got down and rang the bell. A few minutes later we had someone on the other side trying to open the door but failing. And then we heard a voice.

"Emily baby it's not like that. Come on let me get it"

And then the door opens to reveal a man tall and kinda intimidating. Just like his son.

He looks a lot like him too. And in his arms the cutest girl I have ever seen in my entire life. She is just so nice. She sure looks like a bundle of happiness.

" Hey Harold" he greets my father.

My father hugs him and greets him back 

"Hey Dante."

"Where's my Sophia first" he asks

I go in front of him.

"God you have grown so much come here" he says extending his arms wide open.

I walk into them and hug him. I might not remember much but him I do. His lovely hugs and soothing words always do wonders to me.

We all walk inside after a little brief introduction. Mason does not remember anything as he was only 8 years at that time. And he was more of the shy type. He opened up when he was in india but it was the opposite for me. In India I was mostly closed off but here I was always open. I had many friends. Like Ryan, Tori who is forgotten now. And my frenemy Alex and I was close to his father .

After we walked in I was searching for Alex but a hand on my left shoulder made me turn but I saw no one but I heard him from my right side.

"Searching for me sweetheart" he asks. My heart starts beating frantically after hearing his voice so close to mine that I can feel his breath on my ear.

I turn around to almost die but my eyes are almost out of its sockets. Kill me already.
