UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 151 – 160
The following morning , Alexa’s loud voice wake me up. She’s always too loud. We’re driving to Miami today and I’m still in bed.
” Ariel wake up.” Alexa shouts my name. She’s a damn lunatic.
I get up from the bed and saunter to the bathroom down the hall. I think her bedroom is the only bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The remaining two rooms share the bathroom down the hall. I wash my face and brush my teeth with the extra toothbrush. I go back to the kitchen to see Brandon helping Alexa cook. Piper’s watching TV. It’s actually a yoga class on tv. I roll my eyes and lean against the doorframe of the kitchen.
” You’re awake. So I’m thinking if we’re gonna drive to Miami then we’re thinking about using your car.”
” Can we drive to Miami ? Don’t you think it’s gonna be too far.” Piper says and I nod. That’s like a thousand miles.
” Fine.. we’re flying. Not a private jet though , we’re using an airplane.”
The doorbell rings. I roll my eyes and walk to the door. I look through the peephole and I couldn’t believe it’s her. I twist the doorknob and open the door. She looks really pale. Maybe she cried a lot last night because it’s obvious on face.
” Leslie.”
” Hi.” Oh! her voice is croak.
” What are you doing here ?”
She fiddles her fingers and look down. I blink my eyes and hold her hand to bring her in.
” No please , I can’t. I need your help , i want to talk to you private.” She plea.
” Ariel , who’s at the door ? Oh.. Leslie.” Alexa appears beside me. I turn to look at her and she’s grinning. Good God let her keep her mouth shut.
” I heard you’re still pregnant after you tried to killed the baby and professor Lawson is the father. Fuck..” Alexa says with a big smile.
” I’m sorry. She…” I try to speak.
” It’s fine.” Leslie chews on her bottom lip and sob.
” Damn , Leslie. Hayden wasn’t enough and you wanted more.” Alexa chuckles. Leslie couldn’t meet our eyes.
” Alex, that’s enough , please.” I say.
” Whatever. Don’t bring her in here.” Alexa warns me and go back to the living room.
I look back at the living room. How could Alexa say that ? I turn to look at Leslie and she’s trying to muffle her sob. I sigh and shut the door.
” Ariel , I need your help.”
I cross my arms and motion for her to go on.
” You know mom cut me out of the family because I ruin the family’s reputation…” she Inhales sharply and avoid my gaze.
” I called Lawson and told him i was pregnant. He denied it. Ask me to get rid of it and forget about whatever thing we did. He said he can’t accept whatever thing I’m carrying because he’s married and he doesn’t want me.”
” But why your professor ?” I ask.
She sighs.” I don’t know. Maybe because I wanted someone older.”
” Like father, hmm ?”
She bites her lip and keep quiet.
” I visited the hospital to get rid of it. The doctor warned me not to try or I might have complications.”
” Why did you have to get rid of it again ? Haven’t you tried enough ?”
” I can’t keep up. That’s why I am here. I don’t wanna drop out of college. What am I supposed to do with myself. Mom already said I shouldn’t come to the house and I’m pretty sure dad already agreed to it. You’re my only savior Ariel.” She sob as tears slide down her eyes.
” What about Hazel ?”
” She’s still angry at me. I can’t ask her to talk to Mom. You’re the only one who can help. Please Ariel..” she drop to her knees and that caught me off guard.
