High School: Way to Forever
Chapter 70: I love her!

Back into the Walker Mansion!

Jenra was shaken badly when Marrie slapped her. It was if something was echoing in her ears.

"Jenra....." Liam said she knew he will punish her. Jenra crossed her limits along with Jessica. No one will be spared!

"L-Liam, whatever I did was for us to be together. Y-You said that Marrie is never going to come back then we can get married then." Jenra tried to reason out with Liam but it was of no use.

She had touched his bottom line. "Jenra, be ready for your punishment."

.....

Back in the house.

Marrie slept after coming home. She was mentally and emotionally exhausted today.

Anna too decided to take a nap. But before, she got a call from Alex.

"Hey. Are you okay?" Alex asked on another hand.

"Hmm .... Alex, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, sure."

Anna took a deep breath. "Why we, as human beings have to suffer so much?"

This question put Alex in deep thoughts. They both also suffered!

"Maybe, because of its a cycle of nature. One has to suffer. No one can have a smooth life." this was all he replace the answer to the question.

Anna didn't reply.

Suddenly she asked a different question, "Why one has to leave their love for their children?" Alex can hear her voice becoming heavy. She wanted to cry.

He wasn't there with her. He can't give her his shoulder to cry and a hug to console her.

Alex didn't know the answer to this. He knew the situation in her home very well.

"Meet me tomorrow." Saying this he hanged up.

He was standing the balcony of his home with Scott beside him.

"Was it elder sister?"Scott asked while eating his ice cream.

"Hmm."

"Brother, you like her so much then why are you not telling her?"

Alex corrected him, "I don't like her. I genuinely love her."

"But what is holding you back?" Hearing this, Alex's eyes darkened. He was staring at the sky and the moon, then said

"Our families."

....

Next Morning, Anna had the same schedule.

But Mother Marrie didn't make breakfast. She was tired till now also so she asked Anna to eat outside.

"Mom, take care. We have a wedding to attend." Anna made her remembered.

"I know, you go and study. Please give a leave application for 3 days."

"But mom, then we have to attend Grandfather's anniversary too." Anna can't take too many holidays.

"At that time, it will be your vacation," Marrie stated and went back to her room

'I'm sorry mom.' Anna thought.

She walked to a nearby bakery to eat something and waited for Alena to come.

"ANNA!! Congratulations!" Alena gave her a big tight hug.

"Thank you, Alena. You know, it was fun." Anna told Alena what happened there, including their kiss.

"You kissed Alex? You kissed the PLAYBOY OF THE SCHOOL?" Alena knew that Anna will not be able to control herself for a long time but it was still early as she had predicted.

"You are in devil's trap, Anna."

"I don't mind, you know. In this, I am the real devil. Let's go to school now."

They both reached the school in 10 minutes and went to the washroom first because Anna wanted to wash her hands.

"Anna, have you seen Tia? It's been so long." Alena suddenly said.

Hearing this, she remembered that dressing room scene.

"Alena, I want to tell you someth-..."

They both heard some voices coming from the back of the garden.

"Anna, let's see what is happening there." to which Anna nodded. They need to check if everything is alright or someone is in danger.

They moved towards the back and saw something that shocked both of them.

"Alex, it's the perfect place for those things, you know."

Tia planted a kiss on Alex's cheek.
