Her Freezing Heart

Chapter 3- Amara

Asher’s birthday is tomorrow and I don’t know why but I am having a really bad feeling about it. There

is this nagging feeling about tomorrow that I can’t really place. Am I thinking too much? But it feels like

something is breaking inside me. Am I overreacting? That must be the case. I mean what bad could

happen on my boyfriend’s birthday. It’s a happy day. I should just celebrate it. It doesn’t matter if I am

not with him. I can still celebrate from here. He will understand. Will he? Geez snap out of it. It’s going

to be just fine. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

These past few days have been…. well weird would be a right word. Steven was actually home all

these days and Austin was with him. I didn’t think he would listen to Cassidy. He did bring some girls

home but he was still here. Weird, isn’t it? Well both flats are one bedroom so whenever Steven was in

action, which was almost all the time, Austin would be seen outside in the hallway or downstairs.

Where do Steven even get these many girls to sleep with? Is he an escort or something? He must be

reeking with STD. Well it’s none of my business.

We invited Austin in our apartment a couple times when we were home. At first he denied but he came

in eventually. He is really fun to be with. He would help us around the house. He is even eating dinner

with us for two days. Steven, well he is in his own world and I prefer it that way. The only thing he does

whenever he looks at me is glare and his nose is scrunched up in disgust. It feels like I rolled in

something smelly whenever I am in his presence. Well back at you buddy. I am not a fan of you either.

After dinner, Austin went back to Steven’s apartment and Aaron and I were off to bed. I have taken

tomorrow off of work just so I can atleast talk to Asher without being in a rush. Tomorrow being Sunday,

Cassidy and Grayson will be back by the evening. Aaron is going to work but is coming back at two. He

was like ‘I will disappear if I work anymore’. His words not mine. Both of us have been so busy with

classes and work that we didn’t get to talk to our mates properly since we arrived here. Tomorrow we

will be focusing just on our other halves. With that thought in my mind, I closed my eyes drowning

Aaron’s loud snores.

I woke up to the sun shining on my face from the window. I jolted up and checked my phone. It’s eight

forty in the morning. I climbed down the top bunk to find Aaron sleeping with his mouth open in a very

weird position. The sunlight did not even faze him. I shook him to wake him up but he swatted by hand

and turned over continuing his slumber. I went to the bathroom smirking to myself and filled a bucket

with water. I tip toed back to our bedroom and poured the entire bucket full on his face. He jumped out

of the bed blubbering like he was drowning till his eyes fell on my bucket carrying self, sending me a

glare.

“Oops.” I whispered acting innocent.

“YOU….” he bellowed.

Before he could say anything or catch me I dashed outside the bedroom, Aaron hot on my tail.

“COME BACK HERE AMY.” He shouted making me run even faster.

Suddenly a pillow smacked me right on the back of my head and I fell flat on my face with my famous

unlady like shriek. That bitch.

“Oops.” He said mimicking me and started laughing at me. “You should have seen your face when I

smacked you. That was the funniest thing ever.” He continued cackling like a hyena.

I will let him go this time. I did start this anyways. I have a call to make in the first place.

“I will start with the breakfast.” Aaron said grinning at me. He is enjoying himself too much. I will get

back at you in due time. “Go call your boyfriend.”

I got up from my embarrassing defeated position and went to the bedroom to get my phone. I dialed

Asher’s number and waited for him to pick up. Well he didn’t on the first call. I called him again and he

picked up this time.

“Hey Asher. Happy Birthday.” I said smiling to myself.

“Thanks baby.” He said gruffly. He must be still sleeping.

“So how you been?” I asked.

“Good I guess. Been busy with work and pack stuff a lot.”

“Yeah Aaron told me about the vampires. It’s going to be alright.”

“I hope so too. So don’t you have work today?” he said quite snappily. Ouch!

“Nah I took a day off so I can talk to you without having to rush. How about you?”

“I am going to party with my friends in the evening.”

“Really. That will relax you out. I mean you have been stressed lately.” Why does everything feel so

awkward?

“Amy I have to go. My friends will be over soon and I have to get ready. I have to meet with the pack

too.”

“Oh.” That really hurt. “Can I skype you later?”

“I don’t think I will be home all day. Maybe some other day.” Does he not want to talk to me?

“O..Okay. Happy Birthday once again. Enjoy your day. I wish I was there with you. I love you. Bye.”

“Yeah thanks. Love you too. Bye.”

And he hung up. What is this empty stabbing feeling in my chest? I am just overreacting I think. He is

just busy. I got up and entered the living room which was filled with the scent of bacon and eggs. I

dashed to the kitchen counter which we use as a dining table. Aaron started laughing his head off

making me pout. He served a plate to both of us and plopped on the stool beside me.

“You done talking to him already?” Aaron asked with a mouthful.

“Eww gross. Don’t talk with food in your mouth. That’s disgusting.” I teased. He rolled his eyes at me

and swallowed the food.

“Well?”

“Yeah. He is really busy today. He is going out with his friends to party and he has to meet the pack as

well. So yeah he hung up early.”

I think I am assuring myself though that that’s the reason he hung up early. We haven’t really talked to

each other since Aaron and I came here but he still didn’t talk to me properly. Amy you idiot. He is just

busy. It’s his birthday. Who doesn’t want to party and enjoy with their friends on their birthday. I am

being a pathetic now. He has a life and he is enjoying it. But then what is this feeling? Why do I feel like

crying? Geez I am being hypocritical. He understood when I was busy and here I am, acting so

immature. He is just busy….right?

“AMARA” Aaron shouted in my ear making me topple of my stool.

“What the hell!” I said rubbing my precious butt. “What the hell did you do that for?”

“I have been calling you for like five minutes and you didn’t reply so…” He said laughing at my

expense.

“So you screamed in my ear?” I said irritated.

“Amy are you alright?” Aaron asked suddenly looking at me with concern.

“Yeah.” Why am I so irritated?

“Is it that time of the month?” he joked.

“No.” I replied laughed. “Aren’t you getting late for work?”

“Oh shoot.”

Aaron gobbled his breakfast in record time and dashed to the bathroom. I sat down and started eating

my breakfast slowly, enjoying the show thoroughly. Aaron came out of the bathroom in five minutes,

dripping wet with a towel wrapped around his waist. He ran in the bedroom and came back wearing a

black t-shirt and blue jeans. I took our plates to the sink and washed my hands. Aaron threw me a

towel and sat down on the couch. I dried his hair with the towel as much as I can and then went to take

a hair drier. Yup! He still can’t dry his hair properly. After his hair were completely dry, he put on his

shoes and dashed outside yelling 'bye' on the way.
