Their Dark Angel

Chapter:14

Third Person POV:-

Both of them had time to spare so they went to the game room.

"Let's play this" they both started playing. Andrea was playing it aggressively as if the ball ruined her food. She hit it in anger while maintaining the poker face with clenched jaws, the ball got crushed. It repeated several times.

"They aren't good quality ones," she says staring at the poor ball.
"If you didn't beat the soul out of them." she just rolls her eyes at the response.
"You know what let's just go to my room," he says.

"Are you okay?" River asks.
"Yup, they were mere bruises," Andrea says
"I mean emotionally." Her eyes said it all.
"Not really" with a small humorless chuckle truthfully. Why do I always feel compelled to tell him the truth? She mentally whines to herself.

She entered his room and it was a grey basic kind but neat one, surprising.
"Wanna talk about it?" He asks her. Both make themselves comfortable.
"Some memories which are just stuck in my head, I try to forget but can't."
"I can understand," he says knowingly.

"You know when you come to know that life isn't easy. It is like a deep black hole and you feel shallow and empty inside." She looks up and he was staring at her with intensity.
"Like dry and dead," he nods.
"I just hope things would change but it's impossible. There you feel utterly alone even when surrounded by so many people. I don't know how I am supposed to live with the burden on me. It feels like a rope tied on my neck and I don't know how am I supposed to breathe."

River just stars at her not knowing what happened to her. He knows one thing for sure it wasn't her stepfather's death because he did a background check on him. He was a freaking drug addict and does illegal business. He knows for sure that she didn't have sunshine and rainbows during her childhood and feels guilty and angry.

"I don't make any sense, do I?" She rolls her eyes thinking she said too much.

"I know that feeling too well. I once trusted and loved someone too much but she betrayed me in the worst way possible with someone I hate too much." He scoffed and remembered his ex.
"Backstabbing bitch" she said with venom.
River looks at her amused as he smiles at her.

"You shouldn't keep everything in Rea, it's unhealthy."
"Look who is saying." She scoffs.
"Shut up" he rolls his eyes at her.
She chuckles lightly.

There was a knock on the door and it was a maid.
"Dinner is ready" by saying this she goes outside.
They both went downstairs and everyone was seated there except for Rhett who might be with Ares.

"How was your school Sorella?" Ales asked
"Fine, nothing new"
"And we heard you skipped two classes. You weren't even in school. Where the hell were you? We told you the rules right." Enzo says with annoyance.
"I didn't say I was going to follow them and FYI, I saw a nice cafe and spent my time there." She says with sass.
"You don't have any manners."
"No shit sherlock."
He was going to say something but Ales cut him off.

"Ignore him, did you make any friends?"Ales asked giddily.
"Nah," Andrea says.
"Ya, she pretty much ignored everyone. She is much like girl version River." Rhett says while entering with Ares.
Andrea and River look at each other. They raise an eyebrow in unison and look away.

"Who are you?" Ales completely changed his tone to businesslike as soon as he saw a new face.

Rhett smiles wide and introduces him, "He is Andrea's friend and he is such a fun guy, he even helped me record and all and-" he was cut off by Andrea,
