Can't Help Falling In Love novel Chapter 5

I wanted to ask him what happened to his family and why he said his house is on fire? but I kept the questions to myself. I felt it was none of my business but I was so concerned. He will tell me what's wrong when he wants to.

"Here we are" He said.

I looked up to the tall building in front of us.. Boldly written on it: Eat - Rest - Relax, ERR restaurant.

"This is the restaurant" He said.

"How do you know I was referring to ERR restaurant?" I asked him

He smiled: "It's a popular restaurant. let's just say I guessed right" He said.

"Oh, thank you very much" I said and he smiled again.

"We are departing now, are you sure you'll be fine? " I asked him and before he could answer, I spoke further "See Kyle, I'm really sorry to have asked you a question that would hurt you to the marrow of your bone"

"It's okay, you are such a great friend, I'm glad we met" He said.

It's not even hard to make friends here afterall.

My first day in WHS, I made two friends - a favourite one who is standing right in front of me. Who knows? He might be the charming knight in my shining armor.

What did I just say? Ugh?!

"So Bye Kyle, see you in school tomorrow " I waved at him.

"Take good care of yourself" He said.

"Yeah, I will. You too" I bide him bye and watch him leave.

He is not bad as well..

I think he is more handsome than Mr Handsome, Simon.

I turned to the building which has sparkling beautiful lights.

I took a brief sigh and said to myself:

"Come on Audrey, you can do it" Then I walked into the restaurant.

T.B.C

Kyle's POV

"Mom, Dad.. I'm around" I said as I walked into the house but I was welcomed with quarrels and yells as usual.

It was Mom and Dad, they were quarreling again, there's no day they won't fight over the same issue, an issue one would just cry over and finally let it go.

She should have just told him the whole truth when it happened. Now Dad won't take it easy with her, he went ahead, closed down the mall and like it wasn't enough, he normally recall the issue day by day which will always result to chaos.

Meanwhile, mom was pregnant - Me. As a result of what she did, a form of apology.

Since I knew the truth, I have been on the fence because I don't know who to blame or who to take sides with. Is it my mom who lied to Dad and had sex with him so that she could bear him another child quickly or my strict, mean and harsh dad who cherish the first born more than anything else.

"Look for that child or you will never know peace" Dad barked.

My heart is in pieces. It's a day by day anthem yet I can't get used to it.

I walked passed them to the kitchen to get my dinner which I know mom would have cooked already -maybe before the quarrel - today.

Not even a welcome from them, I walked passed them avoiding to be hit as I went to my room with my dinner and a cup of juice. Then I locked the door.

I know mom would be the first person to come meet and welcome me when the conflict is over - for that day.

I'm so sad, when will all this be over - forever?

I drank a bit from the fruit juice then I suddenly remembered the newbie, Audrey.

I have never been so close with someone like that ever since I got to WHS, I made no friends except Elena.

No one wants to make friends with someone from the slums, since they came from a rich family and lacks nothing. I've come to realise that when one is wealthy, they tend to develop pride and they stay away from people different from them... Well, except for Elena. Yes, she is from a wealthy home but she is very different from others in terms of attitude.
