Chapter Thirty-seven
Elena’s pov
I glanced after them in shock, why would Mac hold her by the hands like that and why would he walk away with her in such a manner, I thought to myself as everyone turned to me.
But I didn’t care about that, I didn’t care about the cameras that were in my face and the whispers that had started to disseminate around.
No. What I cared about was what Tisha had said. It was obviously about me the way Mac had dragged her; it confirmed that there was something I didn’t know and Mac didn’t want me to find out.
“But why?” I asked myself
A part of me was confused, while another part tried to think of what it could be. If it was about his family, Mac was already starting to open up about it, little by little.
So what else was there for him to hide? Suddenly, Vee’s words resonated in my head and I started to wonder if truly Mac had too many secrets that he didn’t want me to know about.
I shook my head as I dispersed every thought about it as the school bell rang above us, sending everyone rushing to their lockers to grab their books.
I sighed, looking after where Mac and Tisha had gone, her minions had left after her.
Mac was going to tell me about it later.
There was something in me that just wanted me to trust him and I did. Because I knew he wouldn’t hurt me.
Later that evening
Upon coming home, I was shocked to discover my father’s old car parked outside, which indicated that he was there to see me, hence I rushed inside.
Upon entering I found out it was none other than my dad’s new wife, Miss Bennett.
“Oh! Hey dear Elena” She said with much happiness in her tone.
I was glad that I was seeing her as it would be the first time in a while.
I was guessing my mom was out otherwise, she wouldn’t be sitting on the couch right now. Maybe that’s why she decided to wait for me.
I didn’t know what came over me, but I decided to ask the most bizarre question.
“How is Dad’s relationship with yours going?” Bennett gawked at me like I had suddenly grown two heads of some sort. Gosh! Knowing that she could probably see me as a weirdo, I just wanted to know.
“Well, your dad is cool and I am glad I met him” We both chuckled and there was an awkward silence between us. Then we started talking again. She told me about how she met my dad and kept on discussing.
A few moments later, I heard laughter from up the stairs and I was certain it was Dylan, my ex-boyfriend, and my mom.
Upon coming down the stairs their eyes met both Mum and Miss Bennett and I could see the irritation in my mom’s eyes.
“Oh hey there, I thought you weren’t around,” Miss Bennett said in the most polite tone possible.
“What are you doing here?” mom asked as she turned to look at me
“Why did you bring her here?” She had that pissed look and I was going to retaliate if she dared to do something stupid.
“Babe, you have to calm down, it’s fine” Urgh I can’t believe the nerve of Dylan, calling my mom his baby in my presence. “wow just wow”.
It was one of the most twisted tales I would ever live with.
“I just came to visit-” Miss Bennett tried speaking as Mum cut in.
“Get out!” Mom yelled out loud literally trying to pull down the roof.
Miss Bennett hurriedly picked up her bag and I followed her out the door.
“I am sorry for what my mom did, okay? It is utterly stupid but then you have to ignore her, I beg you” She halted her steps and turned around to take a good look at me, before smiling and saying
“It’s alright there, don’t worry I will send good tidings to your father” I smiled back at her and watched her enter the car she had brought and I waved goodbye to her..
Upon getting inside, my mom was seated on the couch with Dylan trying to console her.
“You did this, didn’t you? You brought her here” my mom pointed accusatory fingers at me.
“Mom I did not bring anyone here and you know what, you are just scared. You are scared that anytime you see something or someone relating to Dad, you cannot stand the person, it’s really bad that you birthed me” I said those words with raw emotions.
“And wow, am not shocked to see you both together. The only thing that surprises me is that you both are so shameless,” I said to both of them.
“don’t you dare call me-” Dylan tried to speak as Mum held him back.
Oh, how much I hate both of them if only they knew.
“Elena dear calm…,” Mom spoke as I shut her up.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“don’t you ever dare call me your dear again else you won’t like my response,” I said to her.
I gave both of them a disgusting look before heading up the stairs to my room without looking back.
As soon as I got into my room, I locked the door and dropped to the bed crying and remembering the happy days when my parents once experienced love, it was all gone and all I am left with is ruins.
Mac’s pov
Nothing beats a good old basketball play with some of my guys. I scored most of the baskets and my guys could not get the least out of me.
“Have you seen the little nerd as of late?” I stopped and turned to see Blake speaking to Seth and the fact that they mentioned ‘nerd’ picked my interest.
“What you don’t know buddy is that she is next on my list” Blake
“You have a fuck list,” Seth asked, amused by the things his friends do
“Yeah, every playboy has registers, where they mark the number of girls they smashed. I am telling you bruh, Elena is next on my smash list” I felt every anger in my fibre coming to light as I approached the dude.
“Who did you say you want to fuck next?” At first, Seth looked surprised by the type of voice I was using but the idiot still dared to mention her name.
“I said Elena is my next Vic..” I quickly threw a double jab up on his face and he fell to the ground.
“What the fuck man!” Seth ran to help his friend. Blake had blood on his nose and upon seeing it, stared at me.
“What did I do man?”
“This should be an appetiser of what is to come if I ever see you even an inch close to Elena” By now, the rest of the boys had gathered and were shocked to see Seth with blood on his nose.
“You hit a bro because of a girl?” Seth asked and I turned to look at him and said “Would you stand to watch your bro have his way with your girl” Everyone gasped upon hearing what I just revealed.
“That nerd is your girl?”
“Girlfriend actually….. and I want you all to know that she means a lot to me. If I for any reason believe that any of you is trying to get close to her, I would have your balls in a pot, cooked and fed to the dogs”
I saw the look of disgust on their face before I stepped out of the basketball court. No one, absolutely no one would touch what is mine, Maeve is mine and not even Liam would dare want to touch what is mine.
Speaking about Liam, I knew he was preparing for the finals and I was ready to whoop his ass.
I lost to him last year and he has been taunting me with it, however, this year will be different and I am ready to go every mile to ensure that I beat him.
Yes, he taught me how to play football and basketball but I became more technical after having to develop myself and I don’t see him being equally matched with me.
I wasn’t the type to brag but I knew with determination and hard work, I would win eventually.
