Chapter 53: Chapter 53

"I am sorry, what did you say to me?" he was in disbelief of what he just heard. He got up and bend over me, glaring in my eyes like he was giving me one last chance to change my tone and apologize.

"I said, get out of my room TUCKER!" I muttered and glared him back in the eyes, not afraid or regretting my decision. The look on his face was yelling that he didn't expect me to do that.

"This is my house!" being shocked at my outburst, when he had nothing sensible to say, he went with the most childish statement ever.

"Do you want me to call uncle Ben to help you know whose house this is?" I folded my arms across my chest, looking him straight in the eye and not feeling bad about anything. I have no idea where did I get this strength from but honestly speaking, the feelings I have for him once were now dying.

"Why are you hurting me?" he changed his tone quickly, it was a hint for him that he was losing the debate, his charms weren't working and neither was his aggression.

"You left me there with those boys bullying me and got guts to ask me why am I hurting you?" I talked back to him, his eyes were roaming here and there, he didn't want to fix his stare at one particular thing.

"Because if had done so, they would have used against you over and over again," he explained but I wasn't satisfied with his explanation.

"I want some time alone, Tucker," I mumbled in my mouth and looked down. I was really lacking energy for debates, there was something else bothering me to this point that I decided to misbehave with Tucker, but it was for justice.

"Okay!" he said, looking at my face and taking a step backward, he now had his eyes fixated on me. He finally turned around and exit the room. I let go of the breath I was holding in and sat on my bed.

"I didn't do anything wrong!" I whispered to myself, "but If I am not a bad person then why does Steven hate me now?" I shook my head and stared at the wall ahead of me, why did I say it? Why is Steven in my mind right now?

Maybe because he was suffering from too much pain and isolation because of me? Yup! That has to be the reason.

I picked up my phone and when reached Steven's Facebook, I was blocked. My heart pounded in my chest, my lips quivering at the fact that he now hates me.

Being stubborn, I have become with time, I checked the whole gang's Facebook, and guess what, I was blocked. That was the perfect moment to grit my teeth in anger.

Me: Dina?

I was raging with anger, not because they blocked me, but because I did things that made them block me.

Dina: What?

It was strange how she hadn't blocked me yet and would still answer my single text.

Me: Why has Steven Blocked me?

Dina: like you don't know?

Me: Dina, I want to talk to him.

Dina: Oh! Did your boyfriend tell you to make him confess things he hadn't even done?

Me: You think I will do that?

Dina: Didn't you already?

Me: Fine. Yes! I was an idiot.

Dina: And what changed now?

Me: :/

Me: Dina, please let me talk to him.

Dina: You are acting like he is with me and I am stopping him from talking to you.

Me: But he listens to you, maybe if you tell him to unblock me?

Dina: On a serious note, he hasn't answered me as well, so we are kind of on the same page.

Me: I get it, he is upset, but we shouldn't leave him alone in this situation. He needs his friends by his side right now.

Dina: Sadly, the orphans are still mad at him.

Dina: He doesn't wanna talk to Sid and jeopardize his position with the orphans.

Dina: He doesn't wanna talk to me because he respects my father.

Dina: And you! umm, maybe he doesn't want you to accuse him of anything else :)

Me: Okay.

I said straight in my bed and sighed.

Me: We need to go to his mansion.

Dina: What?

I left my phone on my bed and quickly grabbed my coat, putting it on and getting prepared. My phone started ringing like crazy when I didn't pick it up for the first few times and it was Dina.

"Are you kidding me?" she yelled from the other side of the phone.

"Nope!" I replied, peeking downstairs in the lounge, and Uncle Ben was there, watching TV. "I think I can climb down the window," I said in my mouth.

"Elle! Listen to me." she said and it gave me pleasure to hear her like that, like old times, "did you take drugs? Are you high?" she was worried and that was evident from her voice. Obviously! It wasn't usual for me to risk sneaking out or to do anything insane.

"I just want to go and see if he is doing okay," I uttered, analyzing the window and the height of the room.

"What if he doesn't even wanna see you?" she was worried I will end up in a mess, if Uncle Ben finds out I sneaked out through the window, I was done.

"He has the rights to be mad at me." I stated, "Okay, I see you tomorrow." I mumbled and hung up on her. What is the best way to climb down the window?

"Google it!" I mumbled to myself and googled it. My phone rang again and I rolled my eyes, Dina was really doing too much.

"What now Dina?" I asked, irritated because I was in the middle of something important.

"Are you serious? I mean, is this the same Elle I used to know? Are you sure you are not scared?" she was asking all those questions that I had no answer to, I just had no idea where the hell did I get all this strength from but I was ready for it.

"I don't care about the consequences Dina," I muttered, impatiently pulling the sheet off my bed.

"Don't you care what people will think about you?" she hit the spot, that's what I have been afraid of my whole life.

"Honestly speaking, I don't see any reason to care or think about any of them. I should have cared what Steven would think about me when I bluntly hurt him." I stood shocked, what changed me? "Anyways, you are wasting my time Dina," I uttered and began making knots of the sheet.

"Okay, listen! I am coming. Don't do anything stupid, once I get there, we will think of something to help you escape the house, forget about this window plan, please." she babbled in haste, now that was actually cool.

"Cool, I am waiting," I uttered, and hung up. Waiting for Dina, but somewhere in my heart, I wanted to do something on my own, for once in my life. I opened the window and let the cold breeze play with my hair, looking down I gulped, it was deep but I can do it. I tied one end of the sheet to my bed and began climbing down the window, it took me a while but I did it. My hands were hurting now, but there was confidence raised inside me.

Walking down the road, I realized that I never did that for Tucker, I always waited for an easy way, but I took a major step to go and see Steven. As I was walking down the road like a real winner, I saw Dina walking towards me with a shock in her eyes and Sid behind her. Why did she call him?

"How?" she gasped, watching me determined and focused.

"Window and why is he here?" I frowned, looking directly at him.

"He is my friend." he pointed at his chest and moved his body forward in aggression.

"This is my idea and I don't want a bully near us," I muttered and his eyes bugged out in shock.

"Oh, she can speak now." He scoffed, shaking his head in sarcasm. "You hurt my friend," he stated, angrily.

"And what about my friend?" I lunched at him with the same aggression and Dina came between us, his face fell at the mention of what he did to her. I have done wrong, but that doesn't mean they were angels.

"Let's forget about it," Dina looked away from Sid and folded her arms on her chest.

"Shall we go now?" I stated and with a delay but they two nodded. I was excited but scared at the same time because I had a feeling that Steven wasn't going to be the same as me like he used to be before.
