AUSTIN'S POV After a while, I stood up from the bed and entered the bathroom. No matter how much I felt sad and guilty toward my father, I knew I had to visit him as he would be lonely without me. I could get there and ask for his forgiveness while also letting him know that I would discard any silly feelings toward Adrian, his killer. He loved Adrian so much when he was alive so he might not be too angry with me. I took a bath and returned to my room where I wore black trousers and a shirt, keeping my gun on my waist. According to Jason, I shouldn't go anywhere without my licensed gun especially when I had been receiving threat letters for days already. I got the first one in training and the one who read it was Jason, I got the second one in school and the third one was received today. I wondered who the coward was but it didn't matter. If they happen to show up in front of me, I wouldn't hesitate to put an end to their miserable lives and make them pay for trying to bully me wi
AUSTIN'S POV"What do you have to say? How dare you talk about that day again, Adrian?" I asked him, disappointment obvious in my tone. "Do you know what my only regret is?" I asked but didn't wait for him to reply. "It's that I didn't hand you over to those policemen then and that I didn't tell my mother or anyone about what you did to my father!' I yelled, grabbing his clothes."Do you even know why I did that?" A bitter smile lingered on my lips. "It's because..." I stopped and laughed bitterly, tears rolling down my eyes "Even though I saw you killing my father, I still saw you as a friend. I still wanted to protect my only friend and even though I knew my father would hate me for it, I chose you over my father, Adrian!" I yelled, pushing him away.I staggered backwards as more tears rolled down my eyes. I had been finding it difficult to accept that word since I lost my father. I couldn't believe that I really chose Adrian over my father as it was the silliest thing a kid could h
AUSTIN'S POV When I opened my eyes, my head was bandaged and I was lying in bed in a hospital! I looked around with surprise written on my face. Why am I here?The last thing I remembered was driving and then... Everything went blank. Did I hit someone? I clearly didn't. Did I crash my car? Maybe that was the case~I was still deep in thought when I heard the door open and a doctor came in, accompanied by Adrian. I stared at Adrian for a while, my mind messy and my heart ached. His hands were stained with blood which I knew was mine. "You saved me?" I asked softly and he nodded. The doctor finally got to my side and checked me "I'm glad you are up, Austin. You were almost..." He stopped and let out a deep breath "I've never seen anyone who would happily embrace death like you before. It was like you had no will to live anymore and no matter how hard we tried to wake up, you refused to wake up." The doctor seemed frustrated as he scolded me. of course, after what happened then, I
ADRIAN'S POV The word regret was an understatement. I decided to help Austin live right after the death of his father but never did he imagine that he only worsened the case. All over the years, he had been hurting, crying and feeling bitter but he thought he had made the right choice, in as much Austin could be happy. Each time Austin fought with him or talked to him harshly, his heart would ache but there was always a part of him that would always commend him for a job well done until he saw Austin in the bar alone that night. While he was taking him home, a tear suddenly ran down Austin's face and he was surprised to see that so he asked. "Are you okay?" Austin looked at him and smiled bitterly "I just miss my old friend. How I wish life wasn't so cruel on us like this." He mumbled and closed his eyes as another tear rolled down. "You see, I wished I could turn back the hands of time and stop that incident from happening. If only I hadn't gone inside to write my assignment that
POV: Austin Brad " You like it, huh?" A voice whispered coyly into my ears and my whole body shook violently. My knees turned to jelly and my body went out of control. "What's this? What's going on? Why is my body out of my control?" My mind was messy and my brain couldn't process anything. I felt a hand on my waist and I looked down only to find two strong hands wrapped around me. " Who is this?" I asked myself but I found it hard to look straight into his eyes. " Adrian. Will you like me to go further?" The voice asked again and without knowing, I nodded my head. " Hm..." I groaned in pleasure as his rough hands squeezed hard on my br**st. It was a feeling I had never had before but it was a feeling I could easily get addicted to. " What have you done to my body? It's no longer in my control. " I grunted as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. It was a long passionate kiss that got my body jerking, his wayward hand wor
Adrian Beckett's Pov I never could have imagined that Austin would take the initiative to punch me like that. It was a complete surprise to me and I was shocked! I staggered backward with shock evident on my face and I wiped my mouth only to find out there was blood dripping from the corner of my mouth. " Austin!" His friend, Kelvin shouted and it was obvious he was just as shocked as everyone else that saw us. Austin was always the calm type and he would never fight me head-on in school because everyone knew and respected him unlike me who was known as the vagabond by everyone. I rushed toward him and grabbed his collar "Are you nuts?! How dare you punch me like that?!" I questioned with anger-filled eyes and I was ready to start a big fight right there but he looked to be ready too and I was very sure he wasn't going to hold back like he used to. Why? This was the question I wished to ask him but I knew asking such a question would only make me loo
WRITER Adrian walked out of the bar with a divided spirit. He wanted to tell his friends what he felt but he knew that would only make him look like a coward to them as they would take his sincere word as an excuse and use that to taunt him. He looked around him and let out a deep breath " I have no choice but to leave then. " He said to himself and walked toward their school junction. The walk there was fast and silent but the fear in Adrian's heart immediately increased with every passing second and the moment he got to the junction, his heart tightened and he couldn't help but look around him with caution ~ Back at the bar ~ " We have to leave too," Kelvin said after he had waited for some minutes and was sure Adrian would be at the junction by then. He held the hand of Tine who was beside him and signaled for him to follow him. " Where do you think you are going? You already sent Adrian to that Austin and you want to leave too? Don't you think it wil
POV: AUSTIN BRAD I knew Adrian hated me so much but never in my wildest dream would I have expected him to agree to such an absurd request from our enemies. It was unbelievable... I couldn't believe my ears for a few seconds as I stared at Adrian's determined face as he requested for his hands to be freed. The talk about him and I being close friends from childhood was a blunt truth... A truth I've always wished was never right and that was the reason I've kept Adrian alive to date even though I've had many opportunities to get rid of him and take revenge for my father. It was because one part of me kept telling me he might not be my father's killer although I saw him with my own eyes and even got shreds of evidence against him. With my own hands, I kept the pieces of evidence that could have put Adrian in prison, all because of what? Till today, I was still just as oblivious but right now, I felt like I knew the reason. It was to kill him with my bare hands because he was
