27- Adrian

Bella's POV

The first person I wanted to see when I woke up was Ashton. I thought after the accident he would put whatever thing I did to him behind us and visit me.

Sadly he didn't, I've been in this hospital for two days wishing that every single person that walked through the door would be him. My mom and dad already figured out something was wrong, although I wouldn't tell them what was happening because I don't even understand what's happening either.

Liana, Aubrey and Mark have been keeping me company. My parents give me whatever I request for, it almost feels like I should remain sick forever. For the first time my brother cried because he thought I was going to die, I never knew he cared about me that much.

"We just spoke to the doctor and he said you're coming home tomorrow," My mom announced.

"Sure, this hospital gets a little boring at times," I said.

A knock was heard on the door and after a few seconds Adrian came in.

"I should go," She said, dragging my dad with her.

"We need to talk," Adrian said.

"There's nothing to talk about. You left me on the road after you hit me with your car, if it weren't for the people passing by I would have died"

"I said I'm sorry. It sounds stupid but I got scared and I regret doing that to you" He apologized.

"I've forgiven you. Tell me about the girl on your Instagram the day we broke up, did she agree to be your girlfriend?" I asked excitedly.

"Actually, she didn't want a relationship,she said she was only with me because she wanted satisfaction while she was staying in Hawaii" He said with a frown on his face. I suddenly felt bad for him.

"It's going to be fine, you'll meet someone who will love" I assured him.

"I've already met her but I was so stupid to let her go" He said with a smile on his face, please don't tell me it what I think it is.

"Adrian," I said. I'm completely speechless, what do I say.

It might not be me.

"I still love you. I never stopped loving you, I'm sorry I cheated on you and broke up with you like that and I regret it, but please know that I love you" He said kissing the back of my palm.

"But I don't feel the same way about you" I said, shifting away from him.

"What?!"

"I love someone else, I'm sorry" I said.

"You're lying. I know you still love me" He said.

"Please leave," I said as he crept closer to me.

"I'm not going anywhere" He said, brushing my hair from my face.

"You will be mine" He said, grabbing my face between his fingers and forcing me to kiss him.

"Leave me alone, please!" I yelled as I tried to push him away, but he was too strong.

My hand couldn't reach the button used for calling the doctors in case of emergency so I did the most logical thing I could think of. I spat in his eyes.

He quickly let go of me and cleaned his eyes with his shirt, while I pressed the button and screamed for help.

My parents were quick to come in and rescue me from this imbecile.

...

After what happened yesterday my mom wouldn't let anyone see me until I was discharged. My rib nearly got damaged and I couldn't really walk well so I had to use clutches, I still had minor injuries on my arm but they were healing fast.

I tried to beg my parents to let me go back to work but they want me to be fully recovered. My parents also filed a restraining order against Adrian, just so he stays away this time.

Ashton still hasn't bothered to check on me. It hurt to think that whatever grudge he's holding against me is greater than what we feel for each other.

Maybe I should stop thinking about him, would that make it easier to move on?

"Bella! Dinner is ready!" My mom yelled from the kitchen.

I picked my crutches and went down the stairs. Going down the stairs with crutches is very hard, I almost fell down twice.

"I'm here" I announced, taking a seat beside Mason who looked exhausted from doing all my chores.

"How are you doing four legs?" Mason teased.

"I'm getting a bit better, I don't think I need these crutches anymore" I said.

"Good, because I'm tired of doing all your chores," He said.

For dinner today we were having chicken stir-fry vegetables with rice noodles. Everything was good about this food except the broccoli.

We ate in silence, for the first time. I think everyone was too exhausted to talk.

"I have to go, see y'all later" My brother said, staring at his phone as he walked towards the door. I looked at my mother confusedly, she looked like everything was normal.

"He's having a sleepover at his friend's house today and tomorrow and the day after that" My mom said.

"Why?" I asked.

"I think he wants to bond more with them," She said.

"Or he wants to get away from doing chores" Dad reasoned.

"Oh no!" Mom said.

"Sorry, looks like you're gonna be doing all the chores" My dad said patting her head.

"You're going to help me. Since you go to work by 7am, I'll make sure I wake you up early" My mom said with a smile.

"I don't want... I will do it, I'll do as many chores as you want me to do, on one condition" My dad said.

"What is it?" My mom asked.

"I'll do all the chores in the house every morning if you promise not to put that tv show about disabled cats" He said.

"Why?"

"It's weird and creepy"

"Ok. I won't watch it" My mom promised.

After dinner I went up to my room and decided to try a new diy hack.

I tried to make a few designs on one of my old shoes but it didn't turn out well so I decided to rest.

I lay on my bed and tried to fall asleep as I recalled everything that had happened throughout the day.

I was on the verge of falling asleep when I heard my window open. I wanted to look over at it but I was too sleepy and too scared, it could be an armed robber.

"Hey" The familiar voice I have been longing to hear spoke. I wanted to hug him but I realised he thinks I'm asleep.

"I'm sorry for not coming to visit you at the hospital, it's so rude of me to do that. I love you so much and when you wake up... " That was all my brain could collect before I succumbed 1 to sleep.

...

"And you heard him talk to you?" Liana asked one more time to be sure I was telling her the truth.

"Yes. He said he loves me and he's sorry for not visiting me at the hospital, I didn't hear what he said after that" I said.

"That's weird. If he still likes you then why is he ignoring you?" Aubrey asked.

"He's probably just playing hard to get," Liana said.

"I don't think so," I said.

"I think you should try to talk to him again, maybe he'll tell you what's wrong. For now let's forget about it and talk about my cousin's party tonight" Jessie said.

"I might not be able to make it because I have to help my mom" Aubrey said.

"I'm totally down for it" Liana said.

"And you?" Jessie asked.

"I'm not sure"

"Come on, he's expecting you" Jessie said.

"Sure, I'll come" I surrendered.

"This time don't get ran over by a car, ok?" Liana asked.

"Sure, momma" I laughed.

Jessie, Liana, Aubrey and I hung out for a few more hours before preparing for the party. Aubrey had to leave later on.

We walked into the house where Mark was throwing the party, the place was packed with people, a lot of people. The waiters were serving drinks and snacks and people were dancing in a very sexual manner. Eww...

I followed Jessie and sat with her, Liana had gone to dance or probably find a new boyfriend.

"Bella?! You're really the one" Someone called, I liked up at the person and found out it was Brent.

"Hey! It's been a while since we talked" I said while hugging him.

"Yes, I definitely missed you. Are you here with your friends?" He asked, when we pulled away.

"Only Liana and Jessie. Aubrey is having some problems right now" I said with a frown, the look on his face changed too, I could tell he was hurt.

"Is she alright?" He asked.

"She is, she is! No need to worry, her mother is just having a little issue with money" I said. He nodded and sat.

"I haven't introduced you to Jessie yet. She's my friend from the diner" I said.

They both exchanged pleasantries and talked for awhile before Mark came to join us.

"Hey shawty" Mark said, sitting beside me.

"Don't call me that" I whined with a smile on my face.

"And if I do what will you do?'he asked.

"Eat all your cookies," I said.

"Good thing I hate cookies," He said.

"Are you human?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Wanna dance?" He asked, I nodded and followed.

There's this pfeeling I get when I'm around Mark, it basically how I feel when I'm around my besties. Mark makes me feel at home and makes me feel like I can trust him.

He's flirty, but easy to put up with. Dating him for a night was fun and if it could get my mind off Ashton then I'm down for it.

"You're not moving," He said.

"That's because I'm bad at dancing," I said.

"No you're not. Do whatever I do," He said. I nodded and let him continue.

"We'll hit our elbows against each other twice and then we'll do a roll with our hands. It's really easy," He said.

I tried to do what he said to do I gotta admit for a moment I thought I could dance.

"Let's try grinding" He suggested.

"Are you drunk? You're creeping me out right now" I said.

"I'm not drunk. And I was only joking with you, I would never ask you to do that" He said.

"Ok" I mumbled and continued dancing.

After some time of dancing Mark and I started talking, our conversation was going great until he tried to kiss me.

I'm single so I can kiss him if I want to, but I'm not that type of person. I closed my eyes and leaned closer to him, it's only for tonight.

Before I could kiss him someone gripped my hand really tight and dragged me away from him.

"What do you think you're doing?" Ashton asked.

"Let go of me" I yelled, immediately we were outside.

"You were about to kiss Mark" He said.

"So?"

"So stop. You have me or have you stopped loving me?"

"I have you? You distanced yourself from me and didn't talk to me for nearly a week"

"I had a reason," He defended.

"Reason? Then tell me what it is" I commanded.

"It started five years ago " He started.
