Chapter 14

Lydia's POV

(A day later)

I had finally arrived here. It was very weird to look at this airport. I was leaving for Sydney a month earlier and here I am now, to visit my parents.

Aaron and Lexi were standing with me. We took our bags and Aaron ordered an Uber.

I told mom not to send any driver to pick me up. "This is it" I mumbled as I sat in the car.

................................................

We were standing in front of my house. It was really nostalgic and I was feeling giddy.

Em squeezed my hand. Aaron was looking at me patiently. "Let's go" I said and gave them a forced smile.

No one knew at what time I was coming. I entered the house. The same house where I grew up and didnt want to come in.

The living room was empty. I went to the kitchen and my heart stopped, literally.

My mum and dad were sitting on the island chairs with Julia and Alessa.

"Hi" I said and all of heads snapped in my direction. My mom rubbed her eyes more than once and frowned.

"Am I dreaming?" She asked everyone and my dad shook his head. Julia and Alessa were frozen on their seats.

I nervously went to my mom. She hugged almost immediately. I hugged her back. It felt so good to be in her arms.

Then I hugged my father. He literally is the best dad ever. "How are Lydia?" My Mum asked and patted my head. I smiled at her.

"I am good mom. Dad, how have you been?" I asked and he smiled. "Even I am great. I am missed you, sweetheart" he said and hugged me again.

They then met Em and Aaron and I had completely ignored them till now. They were staring at me continuously in shock.

"I will go to my room now. Mum, can you show Aaron and Em their rooms?" I asked mum and she nodded.

I went back to my living room. All those days i had spent here growing up were just amazing.

...................................................

I woke up after a long nap. It was 7:39 which is almost the dinner time. I went downstairs and froze on my last step.

Nate and River were seated in the living room along with Julia, Alissa, Em and Aaron. I gave all of them a small awkward smile.

Up in my room, i was thinking about them continuously. Maybe i should forgive them. It is not their fault anyway.

Anyone would react the same way they did. I mean, if i were in thier place, even i would have to ignore me.

They didnt know i was doing this because of Davis anyway. They dont deserve to be treated in the way i am treating them.

Julia is my sister and Alissa is my best friend since the day i knew myself. Nate and River are like my brothers.

I was cut off by Em- "Lydia? Are you alright?" She asked me and then i realised that i had been standing and staring at them.

I nodded my head and ducked my head down blushing.

"Where is mother?" I asked them and Julia nodded towards kitchen. I gave her a soft smile and skipped towards the kitchen.

There is only one person that i havent seend till now....

Blake.

He is totally ignoring me. He doesnt have the fucking guts to face me now.

That is obvious because after i had shifted, it was clear that he had moved on. I sometimes dont understand that how could people fall out of love.

Anyways, i saw mom setting up the table for dinner. So, i helped her with it.

*****

We were eating dinner. I was sitting in between Em and Julia. We had not talked yet, we were in an uncomfertable silence.

"So, Lydia" dad started, clearing his throat. "How is Sydney?" He asked and i looked at him.

"Its awesome. I totally love it. And the condo that Aaron built for us is totally lit. You guys should totally visit us sometime" i said looking at all of them.

Dad nodded with a smile. "Okay then, after dinner if you guys want to catch up, you could go somewhere. Enjoy" he said as he stood up to anwer his call.

Even i had finished my dinner so i stood up. Em followed my actions and we went to the swimming pool area after washing our dishes.

I dont know why but it has become an everyday thing for me. Earlier when i lived here, our maids washed our dishes.

But, after i had shifted to the condo, it had become an everyday thing. We went and sat in swimming pool area, dipping our legs in water.

"When will you forgive them? They both are awesome" Em asked and i looked at her.

"I already have" i stated and looked at water. "Why dont you talk to them then?" She asked and i sighed looking at the sky.

"I will clear things out. I know they are going to talk about it" i stated and she nodded understanding.

.........................................

We were driving Alessa's house now. We decided to go to her house after grabbing our ice-creams.

I was against the plan the whole time. We had not talked things out till now. We reached her house and i sighed.

I have to face him anyways.

Its now or never.

I thought and got off the car. We went inside her house. Mr. and Mrs. Parker were seated on the couches.

As soon as Mrs. Parker saw me, she skipped towards me. Leterally.

It was so nice to see her again. We hugged followed by Mr. Parker's hug. He was like my second father.

We were sitting and chatting on the couch. Suddenly i heard a door open. I know whose door it was. My heart beat boosted to an uncountable rate.

I heard hos footsteps. I was waiting to see him. My eyes were thirsty for his sight all of a sudden.

My hands went clammy and started shaking. Em grabbed my hand because she noticed it.

And then, he came. He was typing something on his phone. Whatever Mr and Mrs. Parker were saying was no longer audible to me.

They might have noticed Blake so they shut up. He was coming downstairs in a swift motion. When Mr and Mrs. Parker fell in silence, he looked up.

His eyes met mine and i swear to god my heart stopped. He froze on his mid step, just staring at me.

Those chocolate brown eyes, i had missed so much, his soft browm hair, his plump pink lips, his perfect face that i had always love.

After two fucking months, i saw him. My heart beat was so fast that i bet, Em could hear it.

He was just standing and staring at me and i was doing nothing different. The negative thoughts i had about him, his pictures with other girls seemed no longer important.

Other people in this room seemed invisible. It was just me and right now. Just two of us. Staring at each other like we were never seeing eachother again.

Firstly, he was shocked but then something flickered through his eyes. An emotion that i could not decipher.

We snapped out of our world when Mr. Parker cleared his throat. Blake snapped out of his daze.

He looked at Aaron and he went to him. "Aaron my boy!" He exclaimed and they did their high-five bro thing.

He is ignoring me.

It is crystal clear.

Alissa introduced him to Em. Blake nodded towards her with a smile and she smiled back. "Wont you greet Lydia?" Mr. Parker asked.

Blake looked at his dad and then at me. Nate and River were looking at Mr. Parker with wide eyes. Which means, Mr. Parker knows.

He nodded towards me as an aknowledgement and i give him a small smile.

Why the fuck did i smile?

He then excused himself and went out of his house.
