Love You More

CHAPTER 11

Days passed, months passed and a year passed. A year in which I got to go home just ones. I never imagined that the house I was tired of seeing everyday would become the dream I would wake up to everyday.

By now I have become a full on English women. I have got accent which my mom finds hard to comprehend. I am no longer afraid of parties, but still I cant handle more than one party in two months.

I was starting to love my schedule of college and work. Studying the course I always wanted to and doing a comfortable job that dealt with all my expenses without bothering mom and dad. What more could I ask for. The exposure that this job gave me was really huge. It helped me know how to deal with people. How to deal with tough situations and stressful days. I was exposed to so many different people, views and opinions that my thinking and attitude started molding itself.

Our hostel was now more like a big joint family and Eva was for sure my sister.

This was actually the first time I was staying in a hostel and my first is the best. I couldn't have asked for a better roommate. Her endless talks were my constant companion on nights that I missed being home. Now we just had a single wardrobe, this was actually my biggest dream. I always felt that I could have shared my wardrobe had I had a sister, but now even that dream is fulfilled. And the best part, I have successfully learnt to put on decent makeup. That day when I actually got ready all by myself for a party, I felt my chest swell with pride.

Slowly I was forgetting the fact that Aunt Rachel was not actually my Aunt, she never ones made me feel that I was a stranger. She helped me in every little things, be it altering my dress when it became too tight or be it helping me with the studies. She seems to know me well. When my tone changes she knows if I am happy or sad. She knows my favorite food, movie, song, place or maybe in short just everything. Sometimes I felt she knows me more than my mom does.

Drake. The first time I saw him at the party I wouldn't have believed if anyone just came up and said that he would be the same guy I would spent countless nights with on the terrace gazing at the stars and talking about dreams. That he would be the same guy who would take me around the whole the town. Or that he would be the guy who would help me out with numerical or that he would be the one who would stay up all night listening how much I hate my professors ,how much I miss dad and mom , how stressed I am or how pissed I am. More than anything else I would have never thought that I would trust a person so much that the worlds thoughts about him wouldn't make me leave his hands.

I learned a lot about his life in this one year. Obviously, not everything. Everyone must have their fair share of secrets and thats healthy. He told me ones about how he ended up here.

His nana has two sons his father and his elder brother, before they moved here his nana lived with them in the ancestral house. His social life was so happening. He had dozens of friends and went to all the partys he could he was not the center of hatred. But instead josh was the silent one. He was the not so friendly guy and their mother always felt bad for josh and would always care for him more. And when their mom decided to move away to town, to a more luxuries life Drake begged her to stay back with nana and Josh begged to be shifted to the town as fast as possible were he would actually start living his life. From then on his life change. Just after a year in the town Drake and Josh had switched their characters (the reason for which he never mentioned), their nana started losing her memory and Drakes dog passed away. This much was surely enough to shake the life of a fifteen year old. He was bullied all the time. and the thing that hurt him the most was, in his own words now I was the needy one, not josh so I thought that at least now mom would love me. but no. now her reason was that I was peculiar and that I needed to fix myself. At the end of the day she is going to choose Josh over everything.
