Trials and Consequences of Love

Chapter 14

Summertime Sadness – Lana Del Rey.

"So, before you go, was there something I could've said to make your heart beat better? If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather. So, before you go, was there something I could've said to make it all stop hurting? It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless So, before you go" "Before You Go" Lewis Capaldi.

*Trigger Warning: there is mention of suicide in this chapter*

"Buenos días" Emily sings hopping into Alexandre's living room.

"Buongiorno amore" I turn from my spot beside Alexandre to face her.

"Ohayō utsukushī" Teresa winks at her.

"Bonjour bébé" Aurora greets her with a wide smile.

"Buenos días mi amor" Kyle nods at her.

"Bonjour" Alexandre smiles at her, coming closer to me in an attempt to make space for her on the bed.

"It's in moments like this that being a native Englishman feels so bland," Carter says rubbing his palm against his forehead.

"Can I tell you?" Aston says, fiddling with the ends of Aria's jeans skirt.

"Aston you're half Jamaican, you know Jamaican creole; if you were to speak that then you'd have to explain what you were saying to us. I am just an Englishman, everyone knows English; there is no diversity in my speech"

"Creole is not that hard to understand it is literally broken English"

"Wait Aston is half Jamaican? That's so cool; our grandmother is Jamaican" Alia turns to Carter.

"Good morning Emily," Aria says ignoring the bickering men and Alia.

"You seem happy this morning, what's got you in a good mood?" Alia turns to Emily; slapping Kyle's hand from the ends of her hair.

Those two are so weird, I heard them arguing this morning and I swear I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I heard Kyle tell her that if she wanted more than what he had to give she should go ahead and be with some person named Luca or Lucas I don't remember. I've even seen them going into the same room a few nights since we've all been here and whenever Kyle has to go on the road for whatever reason, Alia is always the first to volunteer to accompany him and vice versa. I won't jump to any conclusions though because friends can be that close, besides I might have heard wrong this morning.

"I don't understand your question," Emily says sitting beside Alexandre.

"Aren't I always in a good mood?"

"No!" we all shout; the unison making me laugh lightly.

"Whatever do you mean?" she asks smiling innocently.

"We've been in this house for four days now and you're angry every morning" Kyle explains to her.

"And you're such a bully too" Carter whines.

"And you're always hogging the bathroom" Teresa complains.

"And you never eat my food" Aurora hisses.

"I have no recollection of said events" she laughs lightly shaking her head.

"I'm sure you don't" Aria smiles resting her head on Carter's shoulders.

"What are we having for breakfast?" Emily asks resting her head against the back of the couch.

"We are having the classic American breakfast; you are having a pineapple ginger smoothie because all you do is waste the food in the mornings" Aurora rolls her eyes at her.
