Chapter 42 - What? Why? How?
Chapter 42 - What? Why? How?
Days went and came.
What was I doing exactly?
Let me tell you then.
One, I overslept... for like seventeen hours daily.
Two, I had to keep up with school so that I could graduate.
And did I mention that they accepted me into the cheerleaders team! Yay me, even though I couldn't
attend practice until I got better.
Three, I ate.
Four... I couldn't come up with more sorry!
Oh, wait, I took painkillers too!
It was all a blur but I was becoming better. I could walk using canes at first then without them. My hand
was getting better.
Frankly, everything was better... except for the fact that Ron didn't visit even once.
Maybe he had his reasons I kept telling myself... but there was a part of me that couldn't forget what
happened.
Did I forget to mention my appointment at the hospital?!
I'd remember if I mentioned something that stupid, I promise!
Let me tell you that Tommy and I were almost kicked out of the hospital. It all started with me saying
'This feels like a movie.' It was one simple sentence. Yet, the moment I said it, Tommy turned the
situation to a very very very, throw a few more very, dramatic movie.
He kept running with the wheelchair all over the halls and when we approached patients' rooms he ran
in slow motion. It was hilarious but I couldn't really giggle in a hospital!
When they were taking an x-ray to make sure I was a hundred percent healed, Tommy wanted to make
a peace sign in my x-ray. He said and I quote 'That would be a great selfie' Though I had no response
to that.
The few days before the concert were full of training. It had to be perfect. It had to be worth the wait.
However, Tommy had to come up with something to tell Sky since she was so excited that I was finally
agreeing to go to a concert. He was the one who agreed in the first place.
On the day of the concert, I was contemplating killing Tommy. When I asked him how would I go to the
concert as Elena yet sing as Cinnamon he just freaking shrugged.
I just lost it!
I was stressed enough and I needed to punch something. So, I simply put my self-defence courses to
good use and kicked him in the ribs making him wince in pain.
"Don't make me make this an even bigger crime scene," I warned.
He winced in pain but smirked nevertheless. "This room is practically always looking like a crime
scene, Twinkle. That's why your mom always tells you to clean it. That's why you always lose things.
That's why you always fall." I narrowed my eyes at him making him stop his rant. "Wait, I got an idea!"
He all but screamed. "My God, you're a genius!" What?! Did he finally go crazy? He swooped me into
his arms.
Yup, definitely crazy!
"What is it, you idiot?" I chuckled lightly.
He put me down. "I text you saying your house was robbed before your entrance and since Sky is...
nosy, there's no other way to say it sorry," He said making me double over in laughter. "She'll want to
know what's going on. You show her the text and leave." That was actually kinda smart! Chapeau! I
was about to praise him but then he had to make me swat his arm. "No need for applause, I know I'm
brilliant." Damn, that ego of his needed to be crushed and soon! "But seriously, what do you think?" He
asked sincerely.
"That's the best thing since sliced bread!" I answered. I bet you ten bucks he had no idea what I just
said.
He blinked. "What do you mean?" How did I know he wouldn't understand?!
"You're amazing, you idiot!" I smiled at him.
"You're such a nerd," He teased. "Imagine if everyone found out that this dork is actually Cinnamon."
He doubled over in laughter.
Why was he asking to be hit? Really!
Maybe this dork should kick him in his jewels and put some sense in his mind? Nah, he was still my
best friend... unfortunately!
The next day was so rushed in pretty much everything. I had to get ready as Elena and act excited
while preparing everything Cinnamon needs.
The thing that could make me balance my whole day was coffee. How so ever, I didn't find a drop at
home so I had to make a run to Starbucks which wasn't so ideal since I didn't like to drive before having
my coffee.
After having my coffee, I met Aurora who seemed informed on Tommy's plan. So, I had no reason to
worry really!
I spent some time with Aurora until it was nearly time for me to meet Sky.
Still no word from Ron. I was murdering him!
Now you could ask, why couldn't I just call him right? I mean it was the twenty-first century. Yeah no! I
wasn't breaking my bones then become the girl who calls her boyfriend begging him to check on her.
It was so weird when I got to where the concert was held. Being here and not backstage was alien.
People were huddled in groups whispering among themselves. Soon enough, I spotted the blue-haired Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Asian.
I made my way through the crowds until I reached her only to find her talking among the normal group.
Everything was going smoothly but I noticed that Louis was so freakin' tense all the time. I tried asking
what was wrong with him but he got super cocky.
Totally my fault to make sure the prick was okay!
I moved on to converse with everyone like a normal teenager... I was getting tired of the constant
chatting in things I wasn't really interested in.
Ugh! Where was Tommy all this time. I waited for over thirty minutes before I got worried.
I was starting to think I had to kick Tommy. He was practically giving me a heart attack not sending the
bloody text.
But then out of nowhere, he came storming towards me. What the hell was happening?
"Elena, how dare you do that?" He growled loudly earning the attention of several people around us. I
looked at him confused when it clicked.
"Tommy, let's talk outside about this, okay?" I replied quietly.
"The hell is there to talk about?" He shouted even louder. "You're so dead!" As if on cue, several
security officers were surrounding us.
"You want to fight here?" I snapped back. "Then a fight is what you'll get!" I lunged at him and tackled
him to the ground. The security parted us taking us towards the backdoor.
I smirked at him the moment we were out. "Stupid!" I shook my head making him smirk back. "What
happened to the texting plan?" I asked raising a brow.
"I had an even more brilliant one." He shrugged.
"I'm out!" I announced getting sunglasses in case I pump into someone before I reach Aurora.
On my way, I checked my phone which Sky was blowing up. I skimmed over her texts and to sum up
her 47 texts, she was wondering how the hell did I end up fighting with my best friend then she was
asking where we both went after since she went out to look where we went. All in all, normal Sky
curiosity drama!
When I reached my room, Aurora was there glaring at me in a way that makes me really frightened.
She could be scary sometimes. She headed to the stage while I changed as fast as I could ever
change. When we were passing next to each other just before I ascended the stage, I heard her
whisper "We'll talk about this later."
I nearly rolled my eyes but held myself. At the rear of the crowd, I forgot every single problem. Feeling
the adrenaline pumping all over my body giving me a hyper feeling. But soon enough, it was time for
the concert to end.
Time to deal with life again, I thought to myself. There was still time to kill until the after-party. As I
entered my room, Aurora was there waiting for me.
I got comfy on a couch before she could start talking about all the things wrong in the world.
"Did you really think that Elena Whitte fighting with the son of Cody Baker was a good plan?" She
asked shooting daggers at me. Umm... no? But that was Tommy's idea! Before I could respond she
was back talking. "Is that really what you want the news to talk about instead of your concert?" Her
tone was getting snappy.
"No." I managed to get out, my phone started ringing but I ignored it; I had to deal with Aurora first. "But
first of all, that wasn't the plan and secondly, no one really knows us; we're not famous as much as our
parents are." I huffed.
"You better make up for it when you meet the journalists."
"What do want me to do?" I asked exasperated. My phone was still ringing nonstop... a few texts were
also sent. I moved to put it on silent, all that ringing was from Ron. So now he decided to make an
appearance!
"Tell them some big news. Maybe that you're dating," She suggested as if it wasn't a big deal.
The fuck?!
