Chapter 71
It’s been three days and I haven’t heard from Alex. Not even a text. Maybe he hasn’t seen the voicemail. No that’s not possible. He must have seen it and chosen to ignore it.
How’s he doing now. Where could he be and what is he doing? He’s probably with some girl now that’s for sure.
“Honey!” I heard my mum call from downstairs.
“Coming mum” I responded and quickly got up from the bed. I straightened up my clothe and made my way down to the living room.
“Here she comes” My mum said as I approached her. Beside her stood Hailey who shot me a smile which I reciprocated.
“Hey Liv” She beamed at me.
“Hi” I smiled as I got to where they both stood.
“Uhm… I’ll leave you girls to it” My mum said and we nodded in acknowledgement as we watched her leave for the kitchen.
“Come on” Hailey said as she pulled me towards the door.
“Hey! Where to!” I yanked her hand off me.
“We’re going shopping” She smirked.
“There’s no we, it’s just you. You are going shopping. Alone!” I pointed out.
“No, we are going shopping. Together” She stated.
“Keep dreaming… I’ll be in my room if you need me” I said with humor as I turned around only to be pulled back by her.
“Come on girl, you need to go out and have fun. It’s been long you’ve been to New York. You should at least go out and have some fun. You really need it and it will do you some good and probably help you forget, you know who” She did have some point but I really do not wanna go anywhere.
“You’re right Hay, but I really do not want to go anywhere right now.
“Liv, I know you’re still recovering from your past and you’re struggling to move on. But the only way you can achieve that is to go out and refresh your mind. You’ll find out that there’s a lot out there than to stay in here all day thinking about some stupid guy that gives no shit about you and your feelings. Please just consider my request. Let’s just go. You’ll like it” She tried to assure me. Little did she know that the reason I didn’t wanna go out is far from Alex.
Though yeah I’m still hurt by him but that’s not the main reason I’m avoiding going out. It’s Aiden. He’s been stalking me for the past three days. He will stop at nothing until he makes me forgive him but I really do not even intend on doing that. I just can’t bring myself to forgive him after what he did to me.
“Hay, I know you want the best for me and I appreciate that. Trust me I do. But I really don’t wanna go out now. It’s not just about Alex. It’s about Aiden also. He’s been unto me since I came back and I really can’t forgive him for what he did.
“Aiden? He’s back in town?” She seemed surprised.
“Yeah, you didn’t know?” I’m surprised that an up to date gossip like her didn’t know he was in town.
“No, I haven’t seen him. When did he return?” She asked.
“That night after I left your house I went to Nana’s place and I was equally surprised that he came home. Ever since then he hasn’t stopped disturbing me about the past. Something keeps bothering me though. He looks so thin and out of shape” I said to her with worry.
“You don’t know?” She asked me.
“Know what?” I asked the most obvious question.
“Aiden has been involved in dealing of hard drugs and illegal substances. He takes all sort of drugs and smokes all kind of substances” She said it like it was no big deal.
“What?” I exclaimed though I wasn’t really shocked seeing his appearance. That much was obvious but I really wished it was something else.
“Rumors said he’s doing all these shit because of the issues with his Uncle. He’s even been arrested two times already but got released by his Uncle. You know his Uncle has the power”
Yeah I knew Aiden and his Uncle never got along right from time. After his parent’s death he moved in with his Uncle who took care of his expenses and all but he and Aiden started having problems which caused Aiden to move in with Nana. Aiden hates his Uncle. He despises him for reasons unknown to anyone.
“Arrested?” I gasped.
“Yes he’s been arrested twice already and even almost got kicked out of college once if not for his Uncle’s intervention” She told me.
“Does Nana know about all this?” I asked curiously, the question that has been bugging me the minute she informed me about his illegal activities.
“Yes of course. That’s why she’s been paying extra attention to him since. She’s been trying her best to get him to stop but he wouldn’t” She said to me, much to my amazement.
“Wow… Aiden really got himself into some shit” I said in amusement.
“Deep shit” She added.
“Yeah, it’s really surprising” I said to her.
“Well enough about Aiden, let’s get going already” I thought we’ve discussed this already?
“Ha….”
“Do not try that button with me or else I’ll march over to Aiden’s place and tell him you love him and want to see him” She threatened knowing fully well that that’s the last thing I want right now.
“You won’t change your mind would you?” I said tiredly.
“Never” She smirked.
“Fine” I sighed. “Let me go up and get dressed, I’ll be with you shortly” I said to her and she nodded in response before I left for my room.

“I think the blue would fit you more” Hailey said as she handed me a blue mini gown.
“Nope, I still go with the red. I think it looks hot and way better” I said to her and I fitted the cloth around my figure.
Yup, definitely the red.
“Well, whichever you prefer then, I’ll go with the blue” She said and placed the blue gown around her figure. It fits her perfectly.
“Wow Hay, it really suits you” I complimented.
“I know right” She grinned excitedly.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes, I really like it” I smiled at her.
“Yeah, come on let’s go try out all these clothes” She said eagerly grabbing my wrist as we headed down to the changing room.
“I think this lingerie is sexier” I said to her.
“No, I prefer the black” She said as she placed it around her figure.
“You keep picking lingeries for no just cause” I rolled my eyes at her.
“Well I think Tiffany will love them on me” She smiled brightly.
How did I forget she’s a lesbian?
“Wait, you guys are still together?” I rolled my eyes again.
“Yup, together forever” She grinned. There’s this spark in her house whenever she talks about Tiffany. Even after all these years she still has the same spark in her eyes.
“Does she still have those piercings?” I asked curiously.
“Yup, she even got one on her pussy recently. It’s so cute” She smiled. Her dirty mouth never seem to surprise me.
“Oh shut up” I said playfully as I put on my red pair of lingerie. It’s simple yet sexy with the black dot and strips.
“And who are you buying those for?” She teased.
“Why? Can’t a girl wear sexy underwear without having a boy to see her in them?” I shot her a playful glare.
“Yeah whatever” She seemed less concerned as she tried on a few more pair of lingeries.
Once we were done trying out on the clothes we purchased, we made our way out to the cashier. I paid for both of our items despite Hailey’s refusal.
“Thanks for your patronage” The cashier smiled at us as she handed us our bags. We returned the smile and made our way out of the store. Just as we were about getting into the car, we were stopped by a familiar voice calling out to us. The guts of that bitch.
“Olivia, Hailey!” The slimy bitch yelled and we turned around to see her approach us.
“Elsa” Hailey said to her as she approached us.
“Hey girls” She smiled one of her fakest smiles.
“Look we have here. If it isn’t th……”
“Liv” Hailey whispered as she patted my back trying to stop me.
“Do not call me, this bitch needs to hear it” I yelled angrily.
“Excuse me?” Finally her true colors are coming out.
“Oh I’ll excuse you with a very dirty slap across your stupid ugly face if you don’t leave my presence this minute” I yelled.
“Pardon?” She stared at me with equal venom.
“What do you mean by pardon? Don’t you get it or you think we don’t understand your stupid game already. You’ve been coming to us just to rub the fact that you slept with my ex boyfriend on my face, you conniving slut!”I yelled again.
“Hey Olivia, I won’t stand here and watch you throw insults at me” She yelled back at me.
“Oh look, the devil finally comes out clean. What are you afraid of hearing the truth? You really have guts you know. You dare walk up to me, acting all nice and friendly after sleeping with my ex boyfriend” I yelled angrily.
“Olivia I’ll take anything from you but not this false accusations, why would you accuse me of such nonsense and which ex boyfriend are you talking about?” She feigned innocence.
“Just shut up and cut the pretense, I’ve had enough of you and your pretense already” I said angrily.
“Hailey what is she talking about?” She faced Hailey who just stood there without saying anything all this while.
“Look girls, this isn’t the place to discuss all this. Please will you just stop this” Hailey complained.
“Hay? Are you okay? I thought you were with me on this matter” I stared at her.
“I still am but this is a public place and you could get into trouble for fighting here, let’s just go home and we can sort it out later” She said to me.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” I was highly infuriated.
“No Liv, I’m only trying to do the right thing here” She said to me.
“What’s going on here, I don’t understand any of this. Will anyone tell me what’s going on here”, The bitch spoke.
“Why do you keep acting like you don’t know what we’re talking about” I glared at her.
“That’s because I have no idea what you’re talking about” She stared at both of us in confusion.
“You pathetic liar. Don’t you have conscience at all? You mean to tell me that you didn’t sleep with Aiden back then!” I yelled angrily.
“What are you talking about. Look Olivia, I’ll take anything from you but not to be called a Whore” She yelled back.
“But that’s exactly what you are, isn’t it?”
“Hailey what is she talking about. When did I sleep with Aiden?” She stared blankly at us.
“Liv, I have something to tell you” Hailey said to me.
“Well that can wait until I’m done putting this bitch in her place” I yelled angrily.
“No it can’t, it’s important” She said calmly.
“Fine. What’s it about” I folded my arms.
“Please don’t be angry. It wasn’t intentional” Hailey apologized.
“What wasn’t intentional?” I stared at her confusedly.
“It’s your mom. Your mom made Aiden promise to break up with you”
