Chapter 51: Chapter 51

Padgett's POV

I kept staring at the wall clock, I was waiting for Cameron to return through the night but he didn't show up, I ended up sleeping on the couch, only for me to wake up with a duvet covering myself, I smiled remembering my mommy, it's almost a week, that I lost her, I still missed her; but the truth is; aunty Adrian, is the best and she is trying to make me, live with the fact that, mommy is no more.

Hey dear! What are you doing here? Aunty Adrian said as she hug me. Aunty, I thought...

It's the weekend, I have really neglected Cameron, so I thought that I could make it up to you two, now that I have you, I want to be the mother, that I am not, I really want to make it up to you, my princess and your brother, you should go dress up let's go out.

Is Cameron coming with us? I asked, my aunty is about replying me, Cameron walked in.

Son! Where have you been?

Nowhere! I just want to sleep. He turned to leave, I look at Mrs. Adrian.

Oh, dear! The thing is, I and your sister are going out, we are going shopping will you come? Mrs. Adrian asked.

Nope! I will be busy and she is not my sister. He said in anger then dash into the room, she looks at me.

Sorry dear, you shouldn't think about Cameron's action, I am sure, he will come around, go dress up, let's go out, we will have breakfast outside, let's call it mother and daughters day.

I was forced to smile, I run into the room, I am excited, to go out, it was a weekend, and going shopping is one thing, I haven't done in years. I bathe fast and got dressed In one of my simple wears, and in no time, I was out.

Oh my darling, you look beautiful, I think we should fix your hairstyle and the glasses, do you think, you really need the glasses?

Ma! The...

Fine, let's go, we need to fix you. Mrs. Adrian pulled my hand, I was really excited to do it, I heard it was fun, I and Mrs. Adrian and walked out of the house, right now we are in front of a fancy boutique.

Oh my gosh! I can't believe we are going to be shopping in this glamour boutique, ma, it's going to be...

Nothing is too expensive for you; my love. Come on, darling. She pulled my hand, as we walked into the boutique, trying different wears, she just sit watching me change into different wears, shoes, and accessories; they were all fancy, then we went for my hair.

I need you to change her hair color. Mrs. Adrian said, I look at her, and she run her hand through my hair and peck my forehead. Baby girl, you will be perfect, they will just change your hair color to brown and curly, this straight hair makes you look plain and we should change the shape of the glasses.

Go on with them. I walked into the saloon with them, and in less than three hours we are done, I walked slowly back to where Mrs. Adrian was sitting. Her mouth drops open as I stand in front of her.

How do I look? I asked

Whoa! You look more beautiful, you are extremely beautiful, I just can't believe that you are this beautiful. I smiled at her, she pulled me into a hug.

Thanks, ma!

Stop it, call me mom, and let's go for dinner.

We are eating out again?

Yes, it's mom and daughter's fun time, so let's enjoy it, don't tell me, it's not fun.

Of cause, it was fun. She grabbed my hand as we walked into the restaurant, it's a day I can't forget, this day was lovely, thinking of all the places and my new look was mind-blowing, at last, we are back home.

Son! Mrs. Adrian called Cameron who is having dinner all alone. How are you?

I am fine, welcome...

Son! You should look at your sister, is she... He pushed the chair, in anger after giving me a deathly glare, then dashed to his room.

Son! Mrs. Adrian called out to him in frustration.

Ma! Don't worry; I am sure, he will come around soon.

Not to worry, I know I failed as a mother, is like he had something bothering him but he doesn't want to let me into his life.

Don't worry ma! With time, he will open up to you and I know Cameron loves you, he missed you and I am sure, he will come around, just keep trying.

Thanks, darling, that is the reason, I also want you here and I am sorry about my son...

It's fine, I understand, I will go to bed now. I hugged her and then go to my room, I sighed inwardly, I know the reason he is mad, he told me that, he loves me, I know that my rejecting him, hurts him, I just wish we could go back to normal and now, he is avoiding me, through the weekend, when I come to the living room, he will go to his room; when I am at the dining, he is at the living room and he is on his headphones, we are in the same house but it seems it's a different house. I missed him, I really do miss him, I just wish that everything will go back to normal.

Now it's Monday, and I will be going back to school, I got ready, and I was thinking Cameron was going to drop me at school but it turns out he left very early, as soon as I enter the dining, I saw Mrs. Adrian.

Hey daughter, you should come to have breakfast, I will be the one to drop you at school today, Cameron left early, he said he had stuff to fix in school, so I will be your driver...

You don't have to, I could always get a cab or walked...

No way, I am not going to let you do that, no child of Adrian's should walk to school, so stop trying to persuade me; sit and eat, let's leave.

I nodded to her, there was no need to argue with her, I just eat fast and left with her, and she drop me at school, I was enjoying the lesson until we were interrupted by the principal.

Excuse me class; we have a new student, his name is Dennis, She said as my heart skipped a bit at the mention of the name, it seem I have heard that name before, it was him, as I pulled my head up to see who the person bearing the name

Dennis… I thought silently praying it wasn’t the same Dennis, I knew

Students meet Dennis Daniel; your new classmate….She said as he walked in smirking his face exactly the way I remembered him, I couldn't forget his face, those times he did video call with me, nothing really changed about him

I don't want him here because everything will get complicated, Cameron will get mad at me more because he felt that I am in love with him.

Although Dennis is cold, he is friendly, and I might probably fall for him, if I wasn't in love with Cameron, I just bury my head in my book, I know everyone is talking about me now, especially with the fact that Cameron's mom drop me off but there was something off, they were also talking about a girl, that is the supposed girl, I saw with Cameron a week before all my pains come in front of me.

Hi pretty!

Hi Dennis!

Happy to meet you again. I have no idea that you school here. He said, trying to sit beside me.

That seat is taken!
