Part 25- A Chance

I was about to ask him what is going on but he suddenly grabbed my hand and made me follow him.

"We will definitely come back another day" Aslan said to them.

"Okay dear, drive safely" Ayla's mom said before we left.

We made it outside of their house. I was fuming in anger. How dare he try to stop me?!

"Leave my hand!" I said jerking his hand away from mine.

I looked at him in disbelief.

"Why did you do that? Don't you get it?! Ayla is not-"

"Yeah I get it okay! You don't want your friend to make the same mistake as you did to marry the wrong man which is me? Right? That's all you can think about? About your friend that's it?! Well let me make it clear to you, I can do the same. I care about Miran like my own brother and he deserves to get the girl he loves" he said cutting me off. He looked pissed. He barely ever raises his voice at me, but he did now.

Did I heard him right?

"I know that Ayla doesn't know about us, I know that. But then tell her. Go be a good friend and tell her who's the heartless jerk you married and who's also in love with her. But if you're talking about stopping Miran from wanting her then I'm out." he added.

"I hate you" it came out without me even wanting to.

"Yeah I know, I hate myself too" he said before walking away to his car.

I can't believe he just said that to me and walked away. Does all he knows what to do is hurt other people's feelings?

Miran came out of Ayla's place getting me out of my thoughts.

"Oh Adalina? What are you doing here? Don't you have an appointment to be at?" he asked me.

"Tell your friend I'm not coming home tonight" I said to him before getting back in again.

I'm sleeping over to Ayla's today, I'm not staying around him.

"Adalina?" Ayla was right in front of me when I came in.

I don't know why. But this time, I hugged her tightly. Slowly, my tears were making their way out.

Why am I crying? Why do I feel so sad?

Is it because he's right? Or is it because I'm upset with him and myself as well?

"Adalina?...what's wrong? Why are you crying? Is it because of what's going on? Don't worry! I didn't say yes yet! Please stop crying I feel bad!!" she was freaking out.

I pulled away a few seconds later and looked at her with my teary eyes.

"Can I stay over for today?" I asked her.

She agreed immediately. She gave me a pair of her clothes as I changed immediately into them to feel comfortable. We spent the rest of the day watching sad movies and eating unhealthy food.

Her parents didn't bother too much because they understood that it's a girls time to not disturb.

We were in the living room with all the lights of the house shut down. Only our faces were brighten by the big tv screen that was disposing one of our favourite movies. I was focused and I was also enjoying my chips.

"Are you going to tell me what's wrong?" she asks me randomly.

"About what?" I decided to play dumb.

"Come on Adalina, I should be the one feeling terrible right now because I'm getting married but why do I feel like you're more depressed than I am?" she asked me.
