Living With The Bad Boy

Liv’s POV

“Hey, can I come in?” My mom’s voice interrupted me from the book I was reading.

“Sure” Was my silent response as I looked up to her and put the book away on my bedside table.

I sat up as I watched her come into my room, making her way towards the bed.

“Honey” She started as she sat down beside me.

“Look mum, if it’s about Alex I don’t wanna hear it, I’m fine” I was pissed.

“No dear, it’s not about Alex, it’s about you!”She said with a concerned look on her face.

“What about me?” I raised my eyebrow.

“You’ve been so moody all day, I’m worried” She said to me with a worried look only a mother could have.

I sighed. “I’m fine mum, I’ll be fine. You don’t need to worry about me” I told her as I managed to muster a fake  smile to assure her.

“You say you’re fine but you don’t look fine” She said.

“Trust me, I’ll be fine, I just….” I’m interrupted by my phone ringing.

I picked it up from beside me and looked at the screen to see the caller id. My eyeballs almost popped out of it’s socket upon seeing the caller.

Alex?

“Um… Mum… I need to answer this call” I told her and she gave me a smug smile.

“Okay honey, I’ll be downstairs” She said as she stood up.

Once she had left, I hurriedly picked up the non-stop ringing phone.

I know I shouldn’t pick this call since I have my self respect to attain but I wasn’t thinking with my head at this moment. I was thinking with my stupid heart.

I accepted the call and the one voice I’ve been dying to hear spoke from the other end.

“Liv”He simply said.

I felt my heartbeat increase immediately as I answered.

“Yeah?”

“How are you?”

Is he fucking kidding me right now?

How are you? Really?

Is this boy nuts?

We haven’t spoken for a while now and all he can say is how are you?

How does he think I feel right now?

“Fine” I decided against barking at him.

Very unlike me.

“Cool” He said casually.

Is this boy fucking kidding me right now? He’s acting like nothing happened.

What an asshole!

“Have you eaten?” He pissed me off yet again.

Seriously?

“Yeah” I paused. “What about you?”

“Same here” He paused before saying “Can we see?”

“Are we blind?” I was infuriated.

“Pardon?” He said rudely.

“No I should be the one saying that! Why did you call me Alex? To ask me this stupid questions?” I yelled angrily.

“Oh…sorry”

“Sorry! You think sorry will solve everything?” I barked into the speaker but there was no response from his end.

“Hello?” I asked. Still no response.

I pulled the phone from my ear and stared at the screen.

Did he fucking hang up on me?This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

No he didn’t!

He wouldn’t dare. He doesn’t have the guts.

He fucking hung up on me!

I angrily threw the phone across the room.

I’m loosing it.

I’m fucking loosing it!

Why the hell did he fucking have to call me if he was gonna hang up!

“I hate you Alex, I hate you!” I yelled angrily as I grabbed the lamp on my bedside table and smashed it angrily against my dresser. I watched as the mirror broke into pieces along with the lamp.

“I hate you!” I threw my pillows one by one across the room without care.

“Honey is everything alright?”I heard my mom’s voice coming towards the bedroom as she pulled the door knob and walked into the room.

“Blood of Christ!” She squealed as she ran towards me on her tip toes trying to avoid any broken pieces of glass.

“Sweetie what’s wrong?” She had a worried expression but I couldn’t care less.

“Leave me alone, Get out!” I screamed angrily as I pulled my hair, making a mess out of it.

“Sweetie you….”

“Go!” I screamed.

“Jesus I’m leaving!” She squealed and I didn’t bother to look up as I heard retracting footsteps.

Zoey’s POV

“Thanks for coming honey, I really appreciate”Mrs Henderson said immediately I walked into the house. She looked really worried.

“I came as soon as I got your call, what’s wrong?” I asked with equal concern.

“It’s Liv”She said worriedly.

“What about her, what happened?” I asked her.

“She…”She was really being too quiet and my Patience that was wearing thin already.

“What happened to her!” I asked impatiently.

“I don’t know, I was with her about thirty minutes ago then her phone rang and I came downstairs, only to start hearing the sound of glasses shattering from upstairs. I ran up there to find her on her bed with the whole room messes up and tattered with glass.” She said.

“What the-, where’s she now?” I asked impatiently.

“Still in her room” She responded.

“Okay, I’ll go check up on her” I said and turned on my heels, only to be stopped by her call.

“Zoey”

“Yeah?” I  turned around to face her.

“Be careful dear” She said with a look of concern evident on her face.

“Don’t worry aunt, Liv will be fine. She’s just hurt” I assured her and she smiled.

“Okay dear, thanks for coming as soon as I called” She said to me.

“My pleased… always” I smiled at her and turned back on my heels as I headed for the stairs.

Liv’s POV

“Oh my goodness, what happened here!” I heard Zoey squeak. I raised my head up as I watched her carefully walk towards me.

“Zoe?”I said silently as I watched her fall on her knees on the floor where I was currently sitting. She inched closer to me and bombarded me with her questions.

“What happened, who did this to you, what’s wrong? Is it Alex?”

“Zoe?”I felt the tears roll down my cheeks for the one hundredth time today.

“Yes, I’m here baby” She pulled me to her chest.

“I hate Alex”I finally sniffled after what felt like forever while crying on her chest.

“I know you do “She cooed as she patted my back.

“He’s an heartless jerk” I sobbed.

“Of course he is” She agreed as she kept patting my back comfortingly and soothingly.

“He’s wicked” I mumbled.

“Of course, he is” She agreed yet again.

“Why does my stupid heart love him so much?” I questioned.

“It’s just nature, you’ll overcome this, you know I’m with you in this right?” I could only nod my head in response as we both stayed silent for a couple of minutes before she finally pulled me away from her.

Time for interrogation.

“What did he do? Did he call you!”She asked and I nodded my head.

“What did he say?” She asked with concern evident on her face.

“He….”I sniffled.

“He what?” She asked and I told her about the call from the beginning to the end without omitting a part.

“What? I told him to call you to make you feel a little better and not this!” She yelled angrily.

“You what?” I glared at her, my temper rising.

“I…err….”She was short of words.

“You called him?” I glared dangerously at her.

“Y… yeah”She nodded as she placed her hand at the back of her head, scratching it nervously.

“Why?” I growled.

“I went to his place to talk to him.” She calmly said, avoiding eye contact with me.

“You did what!”

“I’m sorry Liv…. I had no choice. It was killing me to see you like this. I had to do something. It really hurts to see my best friend suffer so much like this. I remember when Blake broke my heart. You stood by me even when I was undeserving. You fought him for me. I was only repaying your kind gesture. You really matter to me and it kills me to see you in this terrible condition. I had to do something”

Tears of both sadness and Joy filled my eyes as I stared at my best friend.

“Oh Zoe, I love you” I pulled her to me and hugged her.

“I love you too “She sniffled.

“Hey, don’t cry” I pulled away from her and wiped away her face.

“Why won’t I cry when my sister is hurting?” She sobbed, making my eyes watery.

“Please don’t cry Zoe”I pleaded.

“Only if you stop crying too “She said to me.

Oh I love this girl.

“Fine, I’ll not cry again” I wiped my eyes with my hands. “Now please stop crying”

“Ok”She broke into a smile as she also wiped her tears.

What more do I wish for when I have the best  sister and best friend in the whole world?

“Alex doesn’t deserve your precious tears, please don’t ever cry again “She said to me.

“Ok”I simply responded.

“Promise me” She said.

“I can’t promise that but I’ll try” I assured her with a forced smile.

“Hey gi…” My mum’s voice interrupted us as we looked up to see her standing by the door.

“Mum” I said as I stood up.

“I’m glad you both sorted whatever it is out” She smiled at us as she made her way towards us.

“I’m sorry for yelling” I said to her as she pulled me into a hug.

“It’s okay honey, I know you didn’t mean to” She said and kissed my forehead.

“Now I’d advice you go grab a broom and dustpan, this room wouldn’t tidy itself now would it?”

Yeah, that’s my mum. Still bossy even in this kind of situation.

“Yes ma’am” We laughed.
