Chapter 46:My World ||
Broken Walls
Playlist:
As soon as the car roared to life, I took out my phone from my bag to check the time. Once I pressed the power button and it never came to life, I knew it was dead but I'm in such a good mood that I didn't care.
I continued looking out the window deep in thought feeling all peachy yet nervous inside.
"What are you thinking about" ash asked bringing me out of my thoughts and my cheeks reddened for spacing out.
"I just... Your one of the least people I would have expected to date at RKC, we were so different yet alike" I said not facing him and he took me hand entwining our fingers and kissing the back of my palm while he drove.
"I guess the best kind of love are the ones you never expect...we're gonna be the school's power couple, we're so gonna beat nat and Elliot" he smiled at me.
"Hey! they're our best friends" I said pinching his hand a little.
"Yeah but I like to win" he said nonchalantly with a sly smirk of his face.
He's smirk never seems to get unattractive.
"Ash what's the time" I asked him and he shrugged giving me permission to check his phone as he's busy driving.
"Wow 2:50...but at least it was memorable and I do feel a little sleepy"I said yawning.
â â â â â
Once we were back home, I plugged my phone and changed into my PJs with his hoodie on and checked my phone.
"uggh 3:38...I wonder what time I'll wake up tomorrow" I said rubbing my eyes while ash comes out of the bathroom shirtless with his boxers hanging dangerously low and I try not to drool gawking at him.
"You should really stop staring its rude" he says cockily and I scoff.
"I wasn't staring... You got something on your..." I thought of what to say.
"Abs" he smirked walking up to me. "Don't worry, I'm all yours" he said holding my neck and stuck out his tongue kissing me then claimed the bed.
Shaking my head I looked at my phone again and my eyeballs nearly left my sockets.
"6 miss calls from mom, 2 from dad and 12 from Mary.... Holy shit what happened" I nearly screamed and ash sat next to me worried. I scrolled over to see which voice note I'll listen to first and I decided on mum.
"Hey dear...got a surprise call me back" my mum's business formal voice spoke from my phone. "Why aren't you answering Darling" and I continued to open. "I'm dying to tell you just pick up" she said as I opened more. "Uggh ok since you don't want to pick your phone...the deal was sealed faster than I thought so I decided to surprise you and come home today instead of Sunday but I couldn't hold it in me" the message almost shattered my heart. "BTW I'm coming by around 6am so you would most likely be asleep" she said
Its official, I'm dead.....Ann Parker, loving daughter, niece,cousin and granddaughter...died from her mother's cruel punishment...it couldn't get any worse
I was frozen, looking as hopeless as ever when I was brought back to life by ash touching my shoulder.
"Hear the rest" he urged and I opened dad's messages.
"Hey sweety, you wouldn't pick up but I just wanted to tell you that I'm coming back today...how exciting right and I bought lots of gifts, anyway bye love you" my dad's voice spoke and I opened his last one. "Oh and yeah it's gonna be really really early so you would probably be asleep, so when I wake you don't punch me like last time" he said and ash chuckled a little and I shot him a glare making him shut up and be serious.
I stand corrected... This is worse
Well I should probably listen to Mary's messages. "Hey code royals ...code royals...get your ass back" my assistant screamed.
"Ok okay...calm down...pheew I'm calm....no I'm not pick up your fucking phone...oh shit I'm gonna be fired" she panicked.
"You parents are on their mofo jets...they may arrive at any moment...please I like my job" she started sobbing lightly. "I just wanted to say that I loved working for you, your a good kid, I love you" she said sniffing and the rest was her crying and talking about how she's gonna get fired. "You and Liam better get married cause I lost my job for him" she said angry now and I just placed my phone on the bed rubbing my temples to think.
"I'm dead" I said lowly and ash jumped out of the bed.
"No your not,I have a plan...your going home" he said
"But how, there's no time, what about my clothes, my stuff" I said shaking my head.
"Fuck it for now, I'll send it to your house later...the important thing is getting you home" he said wearing his black jeans with a black top on it wearing a black leather jacket and black Vans.
"But its 4am we won't make it" I said but he didn't flinch.
"Oh yes we will...call Mary and tell her we're on our way...I'm taking you home" he said and I wore my flip flops following him downstairs.
Once were at the garage he walked to one of the small closets while I walked to a car waiting for him.
"What are you doing" he asked me as I looked at him wearing black and blue gloves.
"What are YOU doing" I asked back as he walked over to a blue and black power bike, getting on it. Turning it on blue lights came from beneath it making it even more intimidating and cool.
"No way I'm I getting on that death trap" I said admiring it.
"Its the only way to get there on time" he said in frustration.
"But I'm scared...I can explain to my mum..please let's just use a car" I begged and he got off cupping my face.
"Do you trust me" he asked looking into my eyes and I nodded slightly making him smile.
"I promise nothing would happen to you, I'll get you home safely" he said Pecking my lips then my forehead he guided me on the death trap.
He got on it with ease then got off again walking to a corner coming back with 2 helmets. "Safety first" he said putting the black and blue one over my head and strapping it while he wears the black one.
Once the thing roared I held him tighter in attempt not to fall. "Are you ready" he asked amused.
"I don't wanna die...I'm too pretty" I cried and I felt his body shaking meaning that he's trying not to laugh.
The bike started moving slowly at first but it caught speed in no time. I felt the breeze in my hair giving me goosebumps all over my body but I just pressed my face further into Asher's back, too chicken to look up.
"Look up" ash said
"No" I screamed.
"You said you trusted me...now trust me and look" he said and I slowly lifted my face and once I was fully aware of my surroundings my face lit up at the beautiful city view movie before my eyes at high speed.
"Like what you see" he said and I grinned.
"Yes"
"So can I go faster" he asked taking me back.
"This isn't fast" I said and he chuckled.
"You haven't seen anything yet" he said and accelerated making me grip him tighter... He seemed so calm, like he has done this a million times.
"Don't be afraid, feel free, have fun" he said carefree. We moved so fast that I wasn't able to comprehend what we were passing
"We can make it, we can actually make it....woohooo" I said in glee letting the breeze flow through my face and hair. "Woooo you only live once bitches" I screamed putting my middle finger in the air.
"Yeah" he screamed back.
"This is amazing"
"Its about to get more amazing... Look ahead" he said and I looked ahead and saw a traffic jam.
"Oh no no no...we don't have time for this" I said panicking.
"Hold on tight...I know another route, Its about to get dangerous" he said sounding dangerously amused. I gripped tighter and once we were near enough, asher made a sharp turn with so much force that I thought I was gonna get thrown off and our bodies nearly touched the ground but once we balanced our selves once more I yelled in relief.
"Yes...woooh we did it, I feel alive" I screamed.
"That's my rebel...now time to Dodge" he said and I saw lots of cars scattered around. We overtook every single one leaving them speechless moving forward.
We passed lots of familiar stores and restaurants meaning were getting closer to my house and I started thanking God when the excess breeze made me realize something while I calmed down.
"Stop stop STOP" I screamed making ash slow than and finally parked beside a café and removed he's helmet looking behind and down at me.
"What the hell is your problem" he said angry.
"I need to pee" I said jumping down and he face palmed himself.
Entering the cafe, I called Mary telling her to wait outside while I did my business and left getting strange looks...well I don't blame them, I'm wearing black sleeping shorts and a hoodie. I took my helmet and put it on.
"Ok 5:50 am...10mins ride, we can make it" he said helping me on. Once we were all set and ready, it started and we took off leaving smoke behind.
"Ok once you enter the street, my house is the last one" I said and he nodded.
We raced through almost killing a pedestrian animal and I squealed seeing my house ahead and pointed.
"That one" I said and he moved towards it slowing down. on seeing Mary standing in front of the gate once it was safe to jump down and almost kissed the ground.
"Yeah we did it" I said triumphantly.
"Oh thank God.... I might keep my job after all...quick they went to pick your parents from the airport lie an hour ago, they would be here any second" Mary said in relief. "Thank you" he said to asher as he takes he's helmet off.
"No problem" he said and I was about to go inside when ash called me.
"Ann" he called out and I looked back. "I love you" he mouthed and I walked over to him kissing him.
"I love you too" I said and i sighted my mums car at the end of the street and ran inside hearing him ride off.
Mary and I sprinted to my room, telling everyone to act natural and I jumped on my bed while Mary tucks me in and I said a little prayer in my mind while I wait for my mum. "6am...Thank you Jesus" I sighed snuggling into my bed realizing it was all over.
Moments later I heard and saw my mum's shadow along side Mary's at the other side of my door and braced myself putting my good acting to use.
My door pushed open and my mother gracefully enters my room sitting on my bed while I laid there.
"Hey honey" she purred stroking my hair then kissed me on the cheek. "Honey I'm home" she said shaking me lightly and I tried my best to look sleepy waking up.
I sat up rubbing my eyes and when I saw her my eyes widened and I jumped on her hugging her and she fell back giggling. "Oh my god mum...I've missed you" I said kissing her all over her face and winked at Mary behind her,making her smile.
"Missed you too honey...how was home" she asked as I got off her and she sat up straight again.
"It was aiit, little boring tho" I said and she looked surprise and started grinning then chuckling and I followed her contagious laughter.
"Yeah ha ha what's funny" I asked confused making her laugh even more.
"I'm sorry, I can't pretend anymore...how did you get here so fast" she tried holding back her laughter.
"What?...I'm confused" I admitted.
"Let me explain" she said taking my flip flops. She did something to the sole and held up a tiny metal thing.
"You see this" she said giving it to me. "This is a tracker... I knew you were with that boy" she said making colours drain from my face and Mary almost collapsed.
"I'll start packing my stuff" Mary said leaving the room.
"Hold up don't go yet" my mom stopped her and she was rooted in her spot while I kept on looking at the chip.
"But why..how" I muttered.
"Its in all of your shoes and some of your clothes... That's why I always ask for the things you buy. I'm not checking for anything inappropriate, I'm planting trackers" she said then cupped my face.
"Your a princess, we love you so very much...your an asset, meaning your also a target. You can get kidnapped at anytime by your Father's enemies...remember last time" she smirked and I laughed.
"Yes..omg worst experience ever" I said.
"You see so I did it just for your safety, but you got here quick tho...I was practicing my 'you got busted' dance" she said milly rocking then stood up to orange justice.
"Ok ok stop...I got busted" I said covering my face and she sat back down.
"Don't scare me like that next time...I was really freaking out" I said punching her shoulder.
"Hey don't hit me like that...I'm not as young as I used to be, plus your getting stronger" she said punching me back.
"Ooouu and what is this fine piece of jewelry" she said taking my right hand admiring the rings.
"Shit" I muttered face palming myself.
"Ash gave them to me a few hours ago...I'm officially a girlfriend" I said shyly.
"Aww that's cute, but the rings are way too expensive but ok...you really like the boy don't you" she said holding my hands to her heart and I nodded with a blush.
"Aww my baby is all grown up...It's cool, mostly because I know his parents" she said and we laughed.
"And as for you...come" she said to Mary and she knelt in front of her showing her respect.
"I'm sorry my Queen, it's was the devil's hand work" she blustered out and I started laughing while my mum just held her hand high signifying her to shut up and looked at her making Mary tremble.
"Its ok" she said calmly.
"What"
"My daughter is growing up...she can make her own decisions, I trust her....sometimes" she smiled at me and I took what I could get.
"Thanks mum, I love you"
"And as for you, your forgiven" she said and Mary was so happy she hugged her which I gasped to but my mum slowly hugged her back and I let out a sigh of relief.
There was a knock on the door and one of the most handsome faces popped out."hello" he said peering in.
"Daddy" I squealed jumping on him.
"Oh my...baby I'm not as strong and youthful as I used to be...plus your growing" he said but I just snuggled into him more before jumping down.
"Daddy I've missed you so much"
"Me too pumpkin...you cousins and other relatives sent their greetings and we might go to France for Christmas" he said ruffling my hair.
"Ooouuu cool"
"Your things are in the car...your mum just has to check them first... You know for inappropriate things" he whispered the last part poorly to me.
"She knows Donald" my mum said.
"Oh really ok, its for your safety honey" he said kissing my forehead and my mum stood up kissing my father.
"Oh how I've missed you" my dad said kissing my mum again.
"You know we'll be back honey, I need to tell her something... In the bedroom" he said smirking.
"Eww omg don't ever say that again"I said making them laugh.
" we'll talk to you later...and get ready, we have to get you ready for school" she said kissing my cheek and left the room.
"Yeah, I'm gonna go too" Mary said and left leaving me alone when my phone chimed.
Bae: see you in school...missing you alreadyð
Me: omg you won't believe morning, gist you later. Miss you too, see you tomorrowð .
Pocketing my phone I walked around it my room admiring it and the pretty things in it. I walked over to my light blue desk and sat down opening one of the drawers and looked through. I finally found it and held the bright red ball in front of my eyes.
"Its been 4 years...I wonder where you are" I said bouncing it on the the floor hard at a particular spot,hitting the wall then the ceiling and back to my hands.
"I remember when you taught me that" I whispered, remembering.
Flashback
It was a hot afternoon, 8 years old me walked through the cells in a delinquent center in Spain. I felt scared and intimidated by all the glares I got from the sad kids in the cells but yet excited. I knew I was meant to be getting a lesson but I was curious and decided to explore. I heard noises coming from some cells down the hall and I went towards it.
There I saw a boy with light curls and raggy clothes sitting on the floor with his head down and bouncing a ball on the floor, to the wall then the ceiling and back to he's hand. He looked as if he was meditating, the way he bounced the ball, full of anger but skillful.
I shifted slightly which he sensed and looked at me glaring at me hard but I was too scared to do anything.
"Ann, why aren't you getting ready" Mary said entering my room without permission interrupting my thoughts.
"I'm sorry, and next time knock...I'll be ready soon" I said and she left closing the door behind her.
"I hope your safe" I whispered and dropped the ball back, changing into my towel to take my bath.
