Alana novel Chapter 30

Alana's POV

We wish for things we cannot see.

We leap and we fall.

But know exactly who you're leaping because they might just pick you up.

I wake up feeling drowsy and I unlock my door, padding to the kitchen. I stop in my tracks as I find Aiden laying on the couch sleeping.

I sigh and walk over to him, planting a soft kiss on his cheek.

Some people won't understand why I would take such a chance after what happened seven years ago but it's exactly that.

It happened seven years ago.

I knew sometime I would have to let my walls down to be truly happy and well, I guess now's the time.

It isn't as easy as it seems...opening up, but I understand what where he came from.

Doesn't mean I'm not gonna make him pay though, he pressured me a bit too much last night.

I walk towards the kitchen and start preparing breakfast. Soon I hear his footsteps approaching. I don't turn around, just listen.

I expect him to stand next to me or something but instead, he grabs me from behind and buries his head in my neck.

"I'm sorry for pushing you baby." He apologizes and I try to hide my smile.  Letting go and I spin around. He gets down on his knees and I raise an eyebrow at him. He hugs me, placing his head on my stomach and I sigh placing my hand into his hair.

"It's okay." I murmur. "I understand...where you came from but next time please don't pressure me...my past isn't exactly an easy place to revisit."

He stands, nods, and grips my waist pulling me into him, planting a lazy kiss on my lips.

"Something's burning." He mutters and my eyes widen.

"My eggs!"

"You know I still have a company to take care of right? And so do you." I remind Aiden as he suggests up spending another day together.

"Oh, fu-"

"Language.

"30.75." The cashier tells me and my mouth drops open.

"For a small bowl of chicken soup?!'

"Look, its either you want it or you don't." She snaps and I raise my hand in mock surrender. She hands me my change and my meal and I walk soundly back to the pastry shop and dig in right away.

Thirty minutes later, I'm hunched over the toilet vomiting. I see black spots and I swoon, reaching to flush the toilet. I shakily stand and walk over to the sink rinsing my mouth.

I wiped my face and flinched at how cold the seemed to be. I leaned on the sink and stared at myself. My eyes were getting more red by the minute and my throat was beginning to close up.

Panicking, I try my best to make it to my office and me fine Aiden there thankfully.

"Sunflower?" Worry etched through his voice. I reach for him, nearly falling and he grabs me.

"Help...me..." I murmur, my eyes begging to be closed and I start slipping.

"Hey? Alana stay with me!" He slaps my cheek lightly but I only cling on to him as everything starts going black.

"Aiden?" I call out softly before everything goes dark.
