Chapter 14

Arabella

" We need to meet Mr. Parkinson " I ask the junior officer as we enter the police station.

"He's got something " I say as we stand in the corner .

"What ? " Ella watches around .

"Is everything okay " I ask I see the lines of worries etching on her forehead .

"Mhmm " I looks at her .

"Aiden did something " I suspect , Mr. Parkinson is taking a hell lot of time to meet .

"He's really an arsehole " I feel like killing him but Ella doesn't know that she already met him .

"How are things with Eli ?" she looks at me making me roll my eyes .

"Hello ! ladies how may I help you " Mr. Parkinson finally arrived and I turn to him .

"We want to drop the case about Isabella's suicide " I say and turn to gaping Ella .

"Okay , may I ask why is that ?" I can see that he is relieved and another man on the black glass behind us . My suspicion is right , we are followed . I see that the man is standing and talking to another man but his focus on us .

"We found the suicide note . Sorry to waste your time , Officer " Ella already walked off in anger and I see the man in passing , yes he is one of Xander's father's guard .

We get into the car and Ella is quiet .

"Parkinson is bribed , if any one of us is found guilty we both will be the only ones to go to jail " Her concentration breaks and we look at each other

"Bella look " I merely miss another car by seconds . I push the acceleration and turn the car . My head hits the window and then the steering and my vision goes black .

Ella

The car hits the wall . Bella lays unconscious , her head on the steering wheel. She isn't bleeding , she's just lost consciousness .

Somehow getting out of the car I walk over to the other side unsteadily . Taking a bottle of water from the back I sprinkle some at Bella . Her eyelids flutter and she slowly peels her eyes open . Relief floods me .

"Hey are you fine " I ask as I pull her out of the car and make her wash her face . She leans in against the hood and breathes heavily . Taking the phone out of my bag . I call Liam and Marcus .

"Hello Liam" my breathing is heavy .

"Hello . Ella . Where the fuck are both of you " he asks through gritted teeth. I'm in no mood of shouting at him .

"We are in an accident . We're safe but get my car . ASAP " I hang up without further talks .

I pat Bella's back . Ten minutes later two cars appear in my sight of vision . My car and the security's car . They stop before us. But who get out of the car make me go crazy with anger . Aiden and Eli .

"What the fuck happened here " Eli rushes to Bella who's still leaning against the hood , her head hanging down maybe because of a concussion .

"What do you think " I hold my head as the headache settles in .

"Fuck " Aiden swears under his breath . He walks closer to me and kisses my bruise on the left side of my head . It hit pretty hard on the window .

"I'm fine " I look at Eli who's currently holding Bella .

"I think Bella needs a doctor " I say as Bella's eyes starts closing again .

"I'm taking her . Callahan take her home " he points to me and carries Bella in his arm , after settling her in the car he turns to me and gives a curt nod before entering the car himself rushing off to the nearest hospital.

"Aide.." before I can speak blackness spreads infront of my eyes as I fall into his arms .

My eyes shot open when a pain pierces through me .

"Ahh!!" I scream .

"It's fine. You'll be okay in a few hours " the doctor says . Wait where am I and the doctor.

I try to get up but my head makes me lie down back .

"You shouldn't try to get up . You have a mild concussion " The doctor gets up and leaves the room and returns with Aiden . Who looks anything but angry . Why the hell is he even angry when I've done nothing wrong to him .

"She's fine , Aiden just a mild concussion . If she doesn't feel well call me" the doctor gives me a medicine that makes me go dizzy again .

"Thanks Dr. Malik" Aiden escorts the doctor out . My head feels light but my mouth feels like as if someone has stuffed cotton inside my mouth .

About hours of unconscious I wake up to the smell of coffee . It's dark outside . The house isn't mine . The table lamp is on . This is Aiden's room .

"Ahh . My head " I hold my head and sit resting against the headboard.

"So what were you doing . That both of you got into accident " Aiden comes into the room with two cups .

"What's there?" I ask as he places the cups on the nightstand. I eye it with suspicion

"Hot chocolate " he hands me over the cup .

"Why are you angry " I ask taking the sip . It's surprisingly yummy.

"Because . You were in an accident god damnit " he says through gritted teeth .

"You could've been relieved of me "I answer with a sass .

"Never . Only I'll be the one who gives you your death " he gives me a cruel smirk .

I suddenly stop sipping and look at him . Did he poison it .

"I will never kill you with a poison , if that's what you are thinking " he takes a sip of his own . I see that I am out of my clothes and in a shirt that smells like Aiden . That means he saw my scratch too.

"Are you liking it ?" he asks as he takes the sip of his own again .

"It's not like you made it " I chuckle but enjoy the chocolate .

"I made it . I'm good with chocolate " he doesn't look at me as he says. I'm scared even now . I can't understand Aiden at all . At one moment he's all angry and can do anything even kill someone and the next he is gentle and caring . That is too much of a duality for me to put up with .

"How can you change your demeanor so easily ?" I ask after finishing my drink .

"Because I play smart not strong " With that he takes our cup and exits the room .

"Who are you Aiden Callahan " I whisper and remember about Madeline Rose.

"Madeline " I find my phone which was on the other nightstand.

"You shouldn't be having gadgets around . It increase the headache " he takes my phone away even before I can type .

"Pleaseee" I plead sticking out my lower lip .

"That trick won't work with me sweetheart " his lips curve at the ends .

"C'mon Aiden don't be the gadget police " I throw the cover and try to get up but couldn't because of the weakness .

"You played me once . I'll never give you another fucking chance " he lays on the bed on his back .

"Atleast tell me where's Bella ?" I ask him irritated.

"Eli William's house . Now take some rest . What were you both doing that you got into an accident.

"We were bringing ourselves to orgasm . Happy " I smile widely flashing my pearly whites and notice his lips curve slightly .

"I could've done the work" he looks at me .

"I was kidding " I say through gritted teeth .

"Me too . Now sleep " he turns and switches off the sidelights .

Sleep was the last thing . I close my eyes trying to get some .

We are in a basement . I can hear voices . Familiar Voices . I can see people whom I've never seen . A hand holds mine and takes me out into the sunshine . Isabella kisses my cheek . The sunshine suddenly disappears and the heavy clouds cover the sky . Rain starts pouring down on us . Isabella opens her arm and embraces the rain . She turns to me and speaks .

'You're the best sister I ever had Ella . Don't let them take you way from what's yours . You are a special person . Remember everything isn't how it looks . I love you . Now and always . I love you . Now and always ' I reach out my hand to touch my sister but as soon as I try to touch her she disappears .

My eyes shoot open . Aiden isn't there . My headache is almost over . Swinging my legs out I walk out into the balcony . It's raining just like my dream .

"Where are you Isa? " I whisper cry . Tears flow down my cheeks . I extend my hand and feel the droplets on my palm . Closing my eyes I try to remember what she said .

'Everything isn't how it looks like' I repeat the words .

"Why aren't you asleep ?" Aiden's voice makes me turn .

"I had a bad dream " I turn away from Aiden towards the rain , he walks and stands beside me .

"Want to share " he looks at the rain calculatively.

"No . Why would I share my dreams with my destroyer " I answer him .

"Maybe your destroyer is your saviour" he shoves his hands into the sweats pocket.

"Just for once Aiden , decide what you want to be . Destroyer or Savior " I turn on my heels and go back to the bedroom .
