Shattered

Chapter 29

Alina's POV.
I've gotten discharged from the hospital yesterday not too long everyone came to see me, sometimes I just wish that my parents would come and see me when I'm sick, injured or even just to see me personally. There is tension between us where they always looked down on me, thinking that never in a lifetime would their only daughter would be able to financially support herself and they also took me as an stupid person which always affected me mentally.

Right now Leo was playing outside with Mr. Ben on his bike, the funniest thing happened today where he made Mr. Ben scooter around to follow him and the fact that he was able to persuade the much older man to comply was priceless. Nathan and me were sitting on our porch on the patio swing, it was nice and comfortable with all the pillow mattresses giving us cushion. We both might of added some new things to the house to make it feel more cozy for family friendly gatherings, Nathan was sitting watching Leo while I was relaxing beside him with my legs draped across him.

It was a beautiful day today where it was sunny, tomorrow is Monday, the day where my son will be starting at his new school and I have to go out to buy him some school supplies tonight. There were a bunch of materials that were required to be provided, since the move, there was no sign of his old supplies anywhere in the few boxes that were open.

I had to buy him some new materials, this week I'll be at home for two days then start at the new law firm, the doctor insisted on me to take it easy for a few days and Nathan also tried to persuade me to stay home to relax. I have a job to attend to as well and not showing up on the first day is a horrible first impression, so while using my negotiation skills at least I was able to manage working three days this week. Only Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the other two would require me to stay home, but I'll be unpacking.

I was wearing some light blue jean shorts with a form fitting black tank top, one of my comfy light grey cardigan and my pair of cream coloured flat velvet peep toe sandals that ankle straps crossed over.

This was my comfy casual outfit that I would wear throughout high school, basic outfit, that was my style, only needed jeans, a shirt then throw on a cardigan and call it a day. After being with Nathan, the more elegant side of fashion was introduced to me, and when working at the law firm I either wore pants suit or pencil skirts to maintain a formal exterior.

Nathan was still looking good, he barely wore jeans, only once in awhile but still today he looks as sexy as always even though he was wearing grey trousers, a form fitting dark blue t-shirt, probably expensive for just a normal designer brand shirt, and grey sneakers.

His hand rested on my leg, as we enjoyed the relaxing time until the week started over again, "Nathan?"

"Yes baby?" He reply's with his eyes still watching every move of Leo's.

"I need to go to the store today to get some supplies for Leo tomorrow," I inform him in advance so he doesn't ask where I've gone off to.

"How about we all go together then we can also pick up some fries to spoil that little one for a snack then we come back home for dinner?" Nathan suggests to me.

"That's sounds great, I'll make my Roman-style chicken pasta and maybe I'll do some baking with Leo tonight for school tomorrow, he could bring some in for his classmates." Some baking would be a fun activity for me to do with Leo, I want his first day of school to be the best. My experience with school wasn't as great as I'd liked it to be, my name was apparently pasty ghost girl because I wouldn't leave my house, I never left my house in middle school or high school mainly since my parents always expected me to study my whole life, the name calling and mean gestures people did to me was too much for me to handle. My skin was so pale that people used that against me, no matter how good you are people just don't seem to accept you with your flaws...
