Her Volkovs #Book 1 novel Chapter 25

Belle's POV

"You got us all worried B!"

"I'm sorry A. I miss you so much!"

"I miss you B. Let's go inside."

We are inside Amy's room. Dylan hurriedly cooked dinner for us while Amy and I are on her bed cuddling each other.

"You have lost too much weight. You look like you have not eaten for like forever. What happened to you B?"

I remember everything that has happened to me. I asked the heavens what I have done wrong to deserve all these. I sob. Amy knows that I'm not ready to talk about what happened yet. I feel like my whole body has been slammed a hundred times to the wall. My eyes are tired and my heart is shattered into pieces.

The following days Amy and Dylan did their best to make sure I ate and regain my strength. My bestfriend looks exactly the same the last time I saw her. Her straight brunette hair, skinny figure and those charming eyes did not change a bit. Amy's dad is half Chinese, while Dylan's dad is American. One can never tell that these two are half-siblings.

"B open your mouth."

"I'm not hungry. I want to sleep."

"You are going to sleep after you have eaten. Now open you pretty mouth."

I tried to cover my mouth with my hand.

"Okay then we are all going on a hunger strike. You won't eat? We will all not eat."

I can't believe she's using this trick again. Dylan just looks at us in amusement.

I slowly remove my hands from my mouth.

"Good, because if that did not work, I will be forced to call your parents. We'll see who's ass is going to be dragged back home."

I love Amy but she can be so hard on me sometimes.

My eyes flickered from the ray of light coming from outside. My head still feels heavy, my legs feel like I ran a marathon, and my eyes don't seem like opening at all.

I slowly walk out of the room barefoot. Nobody is in the living room or in the kitchen. I decided to go outside to breathe some fresh air. I walk towards the main door, all the way out. I want to feel the grass on my feet so I took several steps towards the lawn. I stood still and savored the feeling that I'm grounded to the earth. I can feel the cool breeze on my cheeks. I look at the skies above. The clouds are moving calmly.

Suddenly I feel droplets of water touch my face. The sprinkler went on slowly soaking me wet.

I see from the corner of my eye a familiar silhouette and the familiar black car, but everything is a blur. I took a step forward but the water is getting in my eyes so I try to wipe it off.

Seconds later, I saw Dylan park his bike on the street. He hurriedly ran towards my direction.

"Belle! What are you doing outside?"

Dylan quickly grabbed me. He carried me in his arms back inside and back to bed. He wiped my face and body with a white towel.

"Amy's coming. She just went to the hospital to file for a leave of absence so she can take care of you. Belle, you have to keep it together. It's not the end of your world. There are a lot of people who loves you. There are people who protects you Belle."

"Hey am I interrupting something here?" Amy is at the door. She's carrying a grocery bag and she looks puzzled. "B, why are you soaked?" Amy paced towards the bed hurriedly.

"I'll just prepare our lunch." Dylan quickly left the room.

"B, tell me what happened to you." Amy said while changing my clothes.

"Nikolai never loved me. He never loved me A."

"B. I'm so sorry." Amy hugged me tight.

"He told me himself. He just played me."

"Well, fuck him! It's his loss B. You are the sexiest, coolest, kindest, smartest, most amazing woman in this whole damn world. Assholes like him don't deserve you."

"Apparently, I was not very smart A."

"Good point, being smart goes down the drain when it comes to love. All is fair in love and war B."

"Have you been drinking? Why do you sound like a love guru all of a sudden?" She just brushes off my comment.

"Let me guess, he said he did not love you after getting what he wants from you am I right? The basic dickhead move. I have seen that many times, B."

"We did not do it A."

Amy gasped in surprise.

"You mean, nothing happened between the two of you? B, it's when the penis of a guy goes inside your vagina."

I gave her a duh look.

"I know how it works."

"Wow..sure he said he played you but normal assholes would have taken the ultimate price before screwing over. It's weird and so gentlemanly of him.."

"Whose side are you in again A?"
