"Talk to me." I whisper again and he turns in my hold to face me
"He married that woman. He secretly married her today in a fucking county clerk office."
"What?" I ask dumbfounded "a secret wedding?"
"Yes. She's moving in tonight with her son." He closes his eyes and I place my hand on his cheek.
"Am here for you Ron, I won't leave you to deal with this alone."
His face looks pained, when he opens his eyes I see a lost boy and not the star Ronan.
"I Should go home." He brushes his hands through my hair
"You want me to come with you?" I examine his face
"You'd do that for me?"
"Of course." I place my hand on his chest
"I love you." He says and plants kisses on my forehead
"Me too."
I sit still in his bedroom,my hands fidgeting as Sera the fifty seven year old nanny places my favorite cookies on the bedside table, I've never found anyone who makes delicious cookies like her.
"Oh sweetie, are you sure you're okay? You look so nervous,maybe you should get some air."
"No nanny it's ok-"
"You will respect my wife Ronan! If you don't I won't have any choice but to strip you off your trust fund."
Ronan's father growls from the other room
"You can't do that! I am your son!" A bang follows
"Then start acting like one! You will respect me and you will respect Lydia and her son."
Silence, deafening silence
"Well I hope you'll be happy with your new perfect little family dad."
"Ronan!" A door slams making both me and Nanny Sera jump. I've always found mr Jonathan scary despite the warm smiles he gives me.
"Oh dear, this is bad." She places a hand on her chest and leaves,
A few seconds later Ronan enters the room, his angry face makes me hesitate whether I should touch him or not. He seats on the bed,his shoulders tense and head hanging low.
"He's already choosing them over me." He says with a strained voice, I kneel beside him
"Just give it some time, your dad loves you,maybe he just wants some sort of peaceful ground in this house."
"Peace?" He scoffs "they will not be peace in this house I'll see to it."
"What if they're nice?" I try to make him reason because that heated conversation just scared the shit out of me.
"Tha fuck? Are you seriously trying to defend them? Who's side are you on Kimberly?"
"No no. Am on your side, I just want you to maybe..feel some sort of comfortability." He shakes his head letting out a sarcastic laugh
"Not gonna happen."
I reach home exhausted, I throw my purse on the couch and take a seat, letting out a long breath I reach for my phone and scroll through my messages, replying to Noah's from three days ago.
Noah: just be careful,He's bad news. I hope you know what you're doing.
Me: Noah..if it makes you feel better, ok I will. Thanks for being concerned about me xo.
I massage my feet and head up to my room,sleep takes over in no time.
Five days go by swiftly.
"Shit!" I lift from the bed and look at the time on my clock hanging on the wall, 7:36am.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" I rush to the bathroom and slip on the tiles
"Ouchie...oho-ho."
I cry out, Hurts like a bitch, it takes me a few tries to get up, I limp to the shower and it's the fastest I've ever taken. I rush into the closet and I hear Sam's car honking, I move to the window and peek down,
"crap! I overslept and it's a Monday..."
I singsong the last part.
I pull on my stockings quickly,the motion sending me flying backwards
"Whoa,whoa,whoa..!" Thump
"Kim honey are you okay up there?"
"I'm okay." I pant while putting on my shoes from my position on the floor,I get up and grab my backpack.
Rushing down the stairs I round the table and snatch an apple from the basket
"Your food box honey."
"Oh!" I rush back and grab it
"My kiss Kim!" Killian shouts
gosh! I rush back again and kiss him on the forehead.
"Bye!" I shut the door and run to the car, Sam groans
"You're late,now I'm late too."
"Best friends Sam remember? Best friends no complaints." I slam the door shut.
"Easy there, this is my baby." I roll my eyes.
We rush in the hallway,a few students linger there, mostly girls, giggling and whispering
"Did you see him? O.m.g!"
KIMBERLY
"Did you see him? O.m.g
"He's so hot! Those eyes!"
We walk past them and find another group huddled in the corner applying glittery lip gloss
"I'd do him any day."
"He's like the hottest guy ever, I heard he plays ball"
"Yeah,the best at his previous school and the whole region."
And another group, the cheerleaders team b, rivals to the main cheerleaders who are part of the Elites
"I never thought I'd see any guy hotter than Ronan walk these walls."
"He's like a Greek god, man I Wana climb that man like a tree."
"Teris..you're such a whore."
"What? It's true!"
We round the corner, I push open the classroom door and heads turn towards us ,the teacher stops whatever he was saying
"Ms Monoa, you're late and disturbing my class."
"Sorry we're late." Sam pants from beside me
"You too ms Reed."
"We're sorry sir, it won't happen again."
"As it shouldn't."
We slip into the seats and the class resumes.
"What's the whispering all about?" She leans closer to me.
"Uh Sam, you're whispering too." She makes a show of looking me up and down
"So are you. Well I think Some hotshot guy who's transferred here I guess."
"Yeah..I think so to-"
"Ms Green and Monoa, if you keep whispering I might ask you to leave my class." We straighten
"Sorry."
"So..you're seating with the Elites again?"
"No." I frown "just because I'm with Ronan again doesn't mean everything will be back to normal."
"Okay." She nods with a smile
The cafeteria is packed,we look around for any empty seats but can't see any
"Sam!" Noah stands and waves a hand at us "over here, I kept some seats for you." Sam and I groan at the same time
"Well bitch,we have no choice."
She hooks her arm in mine and we start walking towards the table
"Hey Kim." Jonathan greets
"Hi."
The chatting continues,some are standing rolling balls on their fingers,some are seated on the corners of the table.
"Why's it so packed today?" Sam asks
"Well it's football season Sam, we'll be competing against Rosoul High."
"Oh." She says, Rosoul is a school from the next town,they're good,so competing against them Is kind of a big deal.
"We've got practice today."
"Maybe that new guy can join in too,I've heard he's really good, he might be useful in the game."
"Yeah I heard so too."
"We're not risking the championship with someone we're not sure plays good." Ron says
"Oh but he is good."
"I've actually been to one of the games his school played. Three times championships
"Huh."
Ronan scratches his chin in thought. He seems like he doesn't want to give the guy a chance even if he's being praised, if I'm right he seems..jealous?
The whispers start,guys twist their heads and girls comb through their hair,re-apply mascara and lip gloss on their already shiny kips. Some even go to lengths of riding their skirts up their thighs, how ridiculous.
"Well this might be the time to ask if we want that championship." Marcus another football member says.
"Did I hear the word Championship?" A deep male voice speaks from behind.
Sam's eyes widen as she stares behind me,her mouth slightly open.
