Chapter 14: Chapter fourteen- former best friend

Adira Skylar's Pov:

Mathew was still standing outside my door. I didn't invite him inside. He should understand that I didn't even want him breathing anywhere near me. He was looking at me in the eyes. I didn't break the eye contact. I also kept looking at him. When some minutes passed and he still didn't start any conversation I tried to close the door. But he stopped me.

"Sky, we should talk." He said trying to smile.

"Don't call me that. Don't you dare call me that ever again! It's Adira for you. Not sky anymore. " I told him not to show any emotions. He sighed. "Look Sky, I didn't know that they were doing those things to you. I didn't. If I knew, I would have never let them come near you. I would not have trusted them. I know I have made a grave mistake. But please give me a chance to be with you again. I really can't stay without you." He said. I could see tears forming in his eyes.

"Why are you here after so many years? Why couldn't you hug me that day and told me you weren't a part of it? " I cried out.

That day-

Adira was in the classroom of hers while waiting for Mathew who told her to wait for him. The whole school was empty by now since it was almost six in the evening. For some reason, she was feeling uneasy because some friends of Mathew have been catcalling her for some time now whenever she was alone. They would also touch her in inappropriate places whenever they got the chance. She tried to tell Mathew but couldn't get the chance. Since it was their last year of high school they were all very busy. And since Mathew couldn't spend time with her he entrusted his friends to stay with her. As time was clicking, Mathew was nowhere to be seen. She kept calling him but he didn't answer. When the clock hit 7 pm, she took her bag and decided to head home without him. While going towards the door of the classroom to exit, She saw Mathew's friends coming in. She got scared but immediately made a straight face. There were four of them. Oliver, Apollo, Leo, and Jack. Leo came near her and whispered in her ear, "Guess what princess? Mathew told us to give you company. He will be late. He told us to do anything with you we want. What should we do? Should we give you a good time?" And before processing anything she was trapped between him and the floor. Everyone was laughing and tried to click photos. She kept struggling and screaming for help. Suddenly, the door unlocked. Mathew entered with a smile on his face but his smile vanished immediately when he saw the scene before him. Feeling the presence of someone, Leo's grip loosened. Adira pushed him and ran away from there "Never dare to come near me again, Mathew Adams. Everything is over between you and me." She told him before leaving. And that was the last time she ever talked to him.

Adira Skylar's Pov:

"Sky, I was embarrassed. I was guilty. I felt so guilty that I thought of never showing my face again before you. But here I am. I can't stay without you. Give me another chance to stay with you, please." He said holding my hand.

I just held back his hands and stood there crying.

We need to cry, to stop our hearts from drowning.
