AN EXES AFFAIR ➼ Max Tyler

08

Bella sat in bed and sighed as she looked to her phone. She knew how her head was a mess about everything with Max.

She knew how he wouldn't leave her alone. She knew how he was acting and treating her. She knew how she wasn't going to let it happen.

Bella knew that she wasn't going to let Max get in her head. He was getting to her. She knew she hated it.

Bella placed her phone on the side as she started to get dressed. She knew that she'd have to see him at work. And she wasn't in the mood.

Bella walked down into the kitchen and from as she heard Addison and Grace who were having a heated discussion. She frowned as she walked in and it went all quiet.

Bella frowned to herself. She looked around. "What's going on?"

"Nothing darling. You'll be late for work. I filled your flask up with coffee for you," Addison said.

Bella smiled and nodded. "Thanks mum. Are you coming Grace? I'll give you a lift in?" Bella asked as Grace went to talk.

"No she has an appointment. I'll drop her in later. Just let the school know for me," Addison said as Bella frowned.

She saw the look that Addison and Grace held a frowned. She was worried. She wanted to help.

She couldn't help but think that there was something that was being kept from her. And she didn't like it.

Bella couldn't help but fear the worst.

Bella got to work as she stood in her classroom as Max walked in. "Isabella."

Bella looked to him. She glared. "What do you want?" She asked. She knew that she wasn't in the mood.

"Grace isn't here."

"I thought that you want rid of her. She had an appointment."

"You mean that she is skiving?" Max asked.

Bella rolled her eyes. "No. My mum has taken her to an appointment take it up with her. Besides, I thought that you didn't want to be around her?"

"Well this is an important year. I just wanted to talk to her. Clear the air," Max said. He had an edgy look.

Bella frowned. "You are unbelievable. You know that. Leave her alone. And leave me alone. All you do is bully people say away from me. And stay away from my sister Mr Tyler," Bella spat.

She knew that Max was up to something. She didn't trust him for one second.

Bella stood in the corridor. She looked to see Grace as she stood in the corridor with her friends and frowned.

She knew how their mum had dropped her off at school. But Bella was worried about her sister.

She knew that there was something going on that she was being kept out on. She didn't know what it was. Her head was a mess over it all.

Bella knew how everything was a mess. She knew how she wanted to be there for Grace. No matter what.

But little did Bella know how Grace was keeping a secret. And once she knew, it would change everything.
