Chapter 3
"Do you have to say this?" I asked, looking toward the floor. I could feel my eyes filling with tears, which were already making my heart feel apart.
"Ayla..." dad touched my shoulder, but is this even effective now? This is hurting me damn much, which is stopping my words from coming out. That’s how much it is hurting me.
I stayed calm and went toward the car and sit inside. I didn’t say a single word on my way. I don’t know if Jace and dad worried about me or not, but I’m sure if I just open my eyes they are going to see my tears, which will only make me look like the weakest person. No, I don’t want that.
While I was thinking about all this, I felt the car stop.
"Ayla, we reached", dad said while I came down.
"Ayla, listen to me", he said, bringing me toward him.
"Please promise me if something happened to you in school, come and tell me first. I will always listen to you, no matter what it is. No matter even if it is against you, got it?" he said while I nod and walked inside. I could feel the more I keep taking steps inside, the more I feel Jace walking after me as if he is guarding me.
"Now what?" I asked, turning toward him.
"What?"
"That’s what I am asking. What? Why the hell are you following me? Did I ask you to?" I asked.
"No, but you told me yesterday, so I’m doing it so that you won’t feel alone." He replied, making me feel more annoyed than I already was.
"That was yesterday. It’s today, so go ahead to your class and have fun with your friends. I’m all ok alone. Did you get it?" I said while I felt a hand on my shoulder.
