Deluged - The Teenage Love ✔️

Chapter 26

~Nova~

The jammed channel wasn't opening. I was trying my ass out to open the channel and it was stuck due the rusting iron. That's what I hate about it.

Finally after two minutes of pushing my tiny body against the motion of the channel and keeping my things on the side cupboard, I made my way through the hallway.

I was too tired of going out. It is the worst thing that I could do all day. It's better to be at home rather than going out. Plus, everyday I have to go out to drop Sophia to school.

She sees hundreds of people there, parents hugging and kissing their children to bid goodbye, while some of them cry with the handkerchief pinned to their sweaters and their parents consoling their child to be brave and carry on like other children do.

When, Sophia sees those children and their parents, she always looked up to me with the same emotions. She likes when I take care of her like other parents do.

Her first day of school had been very nervous. She felt intimidated by the size of the campus of the school, but then after spending a month there, now she feels like home.

I am glad that she's made a lot of friends.

Her smile means a lot to me!

I removed my sandals and made my way to my room. I love the rooms on the second floor. The same as I had in my uncle's house. But my health doesn't permit me to walk through the staircase, so Sophia told me to occupy the room that is next to the guest room.

She is another ball of sunshine that I have in my life.

I opened the door to my room and locked it from inside turning my back towards the door.

"What the fuck are you doing here?", I yelled when I saw a half naked figure of Ella. I wasn't as shocked to see her naked but what sent a chill down my spine was that she was fiddling with my meds.

I rushed towards her side and snatched the meds away from her hands. I couldn't believe that she was spying on me. That too naked?

"Hey! Don't take it like that. The edges are sharp.", she said in a caring tone, but that didn't make any difference to my anger.

"What were you doing with them. First go and wear your clothes.", I snapped back at her. I am so pissed with her behavior. My health is another reason for me getting pissed with little things..

"I just wanted some clothes. Mine are still in the jeep and I forgot to bring them along. Jeez, there was no reason for you to burst in rage for such a petty thing. I haven't come hear to tolerate your anger", she hissed at me.

I felt hurt. I wanted to tell her the reason of my behavior. The reason that drived me crazy for fiddling with my meds and the reason for everything that has ruined my life.

But I decided to keep my mouth shut. Just like the kid who got beaten up by her parents for creating a scene in the market for arguing over a small toy.

I handed over some clothes to her that could fit her well and she made her way back to her room, hiding herself with a towel, slamming the door at my face.
