CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

MADELINE'S POV:

I was sitting at airport waiting for the flight to departure. My uncle and aunt convinced me that I need to come New York with them to meet my other relatives.

They told me that I don't have to worry about the payment of flight or anything. They were literally taking my care like I'm some fragile baby, asking every minute if I want to eat anything and I was politely telling them no.

But after an hour they both forced me to eat despite my protest while rambling about how essential it's to take at least three meals a day. They think I'm too thin and need a fattening up.

I know it's there way of showing love and care but I still feel little on the edge as I'm not used to people treating me like a priority. No one ever came this close to me except my friends and I miss them.

I haven't talk to Milly for two days because she's been asking me which university i decided to go. I know I'll not be able to hide a truth of my love from her for long and I really don't want to spoil her happiness by making her worried for me.

She's really happy in Australia and got a apartment near campus where she's living with Mac. They Skyped me three days ago and showed me their apartment. I was extremely happy for them and become overwhelmed by just looking at them.

My eyes landed on my cellphone and my hands itched to dial Brandon's number and talk to him. I just wanted to hear his voice that I haven't heard for two and a half weeks. I wanted to tell him that he need to stop fighting with me on petty things. I want to hug him and tell him if he doesn't feel anything for me except friendship then I don't mind one bit. It'll hurt me to see him with other girl but I'll cope because that's what I've been doing all my life, coping when people decide to leave me all alone.

I picked the phone and searched Brandon's number feeling tears brimming in my eyes. Will he receive my call this time or I'll get the same response I got last time I tried to talk to him.

I'll have to call him and hear his voice before I leave Boston for how long I don't even know or if I'll ever come back here.

I touched his contact name and his  photo appeared; he was smiling at the camera while trying to choke me because I'd eaten his Kitkats. He and I both love chocolates. We're in love with all kinds of chocolate and anything that have chocolate in it. So when he found out that I've stole his chocolate from his bag he came to murder me.Me and Milly were sitting on bleachers waiting for him to come so he would drop us home. But when he came he started choking me without using much force but his firm fingers around my neck send the tingling sensation in my body making me blush and Milly thoughts it's really funny to see my face red due to the the lack of oxygen so she snapped our few  pictures.

There was nothing especial in the picture except the mischievous smile that's stretched on Brandon's face reminding me the day when first time my eyes landed on him on the first day of our kindergarten.

Just thinking about that day making me smile that how jealous my four year old self to see Brandon sitting beside Laura and when he kissed her I felt like punching both of them.

I don't know why my four years old self find only Brandon attractive out other thirteen boys in the class but from day first he'd some kind of a effect on me and he still have it after fourteen years.

With the blurry vision I finally get the courage and dialed his number to her that my calls can't be connected until I'll pay my last month bill.

I laughed after hearing the operator and a single tear rolled down my eyes. Shutting off the phone I threw it in my pocket and stared at nothing particular.
