Chapter 21

~~Stupid Assumptions~~

I felt a pounding headache when I a little of my conciousness started coming back to me. I slowly started feeling everything around me. My body was positioned in a sitting postion and the air around me was silent. My eyes flickered open and I noticed my surrounding. It was morning time.

I shifted my eyes in front of me and noticed that I was in a gas station. Than I turned my face hastily to the left and noticed that driver seat was empty and I was in Helia's car. Suddenly, I felt like a hammer had collided with my head pretty hard and I yelped in pain.

"Oh God" I muttered, bringing both of my hands to my head and holding it with my palms.

Before I could think of anything else, a burning sensation rose in my stomach which swiftly shifted to my throat and my eyes shot wide in horror. I quickly jumped out of Helia's car and bolted to the nearest wall.

I placed my palms against the wall to hold myself. It didn't help much because I started coughing up and my eyes started swimming around.

"Oh, no, no,no _" I coughed one more time loudly and then all the contents in my stomach came rushing out. I coughed once more and then again vomited.

The stretched muscles in my body loosened up and I fell back on my hips when the headache came running back and the little strength in my body faded out. The thought of my sprained ankle also came back which lead to the shots of pain in my foot because of running.

"Gross" I panted slightly.

I looked around to see where Helia was. My eyes scanned the whole gas station. Only two cars besides Helia's were there. I was still scanning when my eyes caught a glimpse of midnight blue hair.

Helia was running toward the car and he had two kids in his hand. I focused my eyes on them and realised that he had brought Alec and Kaya with us. It made me smile despite the fact that how irritated I was feeling.

"Flora?" Helia called out when he approached the car. He was panting heavily and his face was red.

His smile turned upside down when he looked at my empty seat and put Kaya and Alec down next to the car, whispering something to them. They nodded and stood by the car like soldiers.

I giggled which made my head to throb a little harshly. Why was I feeling this way anyway? "Over Here" I waved my hand up for him.

His cut in the direction of my voice. He darted to me when he noticed me sitting down there. His concerned look changed into a laughing one.

"Why are you sitting here?" He questioned.

I pointed in front of me. "Just came out to clean up my stomach" I laughed but then held my head groaning.

"Oh shit" Helia mumbled. "Let's take you back to the car and get you some medicine" He didn't even wait for my response and scooped me up bridal style.

I felt like I've given him a free pass to hold me anytime he wanted.

"Thanks," I said, gratefully. I looked down at my clothes and saw that I was in an overly larged shirt but the jeans was my own which I had worn under the dress last night.

Last night.

What happened last night?

I remembered going to the wedding of Noah and Stacey and then to their party, sitting with everyone, then Kyle and Helia's performance, Dylan coming to me with a drink and asking me for a dance, Helia approaching me and making me dance on his toes, him saying something to me and then my passing out.

My brows knitted together. What made me pass out last night? I didn't drink or anything in the party other than what Dylan gave me.

My eyes widen when realisation dawned on me.

I squeezed my eyes shut and groaned inwardly. He offered me a spiked drink. That jerk.

"Flora?" Helia's concerned voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

I opened my eyes and found his gaze fixed on my face. He had a concerned look in his eyes. "Are you feeling extremely sick?"

I laughed a little at the use of his words. I shook my head. "I've a headache, my body is now extremely low on food and my mouth is dry. Please, get me things which I ate last time"

Helia rolled his eyes. "Wait in the car, I'll bring you the food and the med is in the car, Foodaholic"

I snapped my head in his direction, when he set me down next to the car. "I'm not a Foodaholic, Mr. I'm- obsessed- with- my- hair"

He narrowed his eyes playfully. "Touchè" He murmured. He turned his attention to Kaya and Alec who were busy whispering to each other.

Aww, they looked so cute.

Then a guilty feeling splashed on me. I didn't spend much time with them in the last few days. What kind of a big sister I was? I didn't give Kaya much attention since we went to Chicago but Brandon and Stella literally gave all their attention to them. I was now going to make it up to her and a little to Alec as well.

"C'mon kids, let's go to the store" Helia took their hands in his.

"Again?" Kaya yelled, cheerfully.

They had moved just a few steps, so I was still listening to them.

"Last time you two ran off" Helia scolded in mild tone.

My brows shot up at this. "What do you mean by that they ran off?"

Helia turned his head slightly to look over shoulder and at me, sheepishly. "Ummm,..." He started.

I shook my head and bent down to get the bag placed next to my seat. It was the same bag which Aisha had packed for me. Aww, I loved my friends. "I'm waiting, Helia" I said, sternly.

"Stella packed it for you" He dodged my question.

I rolled my eyes while limping toward them with the bag in my hand. "Don't dodge my question, Knightly. I'm coming with you, you can explain in the way to the store" I gestured for him to move and Kaya's hand in my free one.

"It isn't necessary, Lora" He started walking slowly next to me.

"Helia" I sighed. "I'm not going to kill you"

Alec laughed beside Helia. "Helia is scared of Flora"

I laughed looking at him with Kaya while Helia shook his head. "I'm not and I'm not telling her because you'll get scolded by her"

We had just reached the store now but I stopped them outside and narrowed my eyes at Kaya and Alec. "What did you do and why you ran off?"

Alec rubbed his hands together and Kaya laughed sheepishly. "When Helia stopped the car here and went to get us things from the store he didn't take us, so Kaya and I decided to go after him but we noticed a girl of our age crying and we went to comfort her" Alec looked so apologetic that I just broke out in a grin but refrained.

"What's your story?" I arched a brow at Helia.

"I came back to the car and found that you were still snoring and both of them had gone out. I ran after them and caught them playing with a girl near the bathroom. I took the girl to her parents and they left and I came back with these mischievous kids to our car"

I nodded my head and slapped him on the arm. "I do not snore in my sleep and kids," I fixed my gaze on them. "What you did is a very wrong thing. Don't ever do it again, do you understand me?" I said, softly.

They nodded their heads. "Helia said the same thing and he said if you did this again some bear will catch us and take us to the forest forever, is he right?" Kaya said in a low voice.

I nodded my head with a serious look on my face. "He's absolutely right" I turned to Helia. He was wearing a serious expression which I knew was fake."Take care of them this time," I said with a firm voice.

He was about to say something to me when a voice coming out of the store gained our attention.

"Look there" A middle aged woman coming out of the store pointed at us and then looked at a 13 or 14 year old girl next to her.

Helia and I looked at each other with confused looks and then back at her. She was standing in front of us now.

"That's the exact thing that happens when you've boyfriends in your teenage years" She gave me an apologetic as well as sympathetic look. My mouth flung open. Helia stifled a laugh. I glared at him.

She pointed to Helia, who stopped his poor attempt to control his laugh and turned serious, and then at Kaya and Alec. "Look he got her pregnant with twin kids and by the condition she's in now, I guess she's pregnant with the third child"

My jaws literally dropped to floor at her stupid assumptions and I darted my eyes in Helia's direction. His eyes were wide and his cheeks were as red as tomato.

Kaya and Alec were looking confused while the girl was shaking her head in fear. I felt so pathetic but at the same it was so much funny that I cracked up into fits of laughter.

"Seriously?" Helia screeched at me but then bursted out laughing himself.

I dropped my bag to the side and held Helia's shoulder for support and went into another fits of laughter.

She seriously thought that Helia and I were their parents and I was pregnant... AGAIN?

I didn't even have my first kiss and here the lady was making me the mother of two and an unborn one.

Helia was laughing hard and it was so contagious that I laughed more and more and my stomach started hurting along with my head but it wasn't stopping me.

"What's so funny?" The middle aged woman questioned in a slightly annoyed voice.

Helia and I looked at her at once and tried to control our laughter. Helia recovered more quickly than me and composed himself to answer the woman.

"This little guy here is my brother and this little girl is her sister, Ma'am" He pointed to Alec first and then Kaya and told her. Then he pointed at me. "She's not pregnant, she just have a hangover and we are only friends" I nodded my head.

The woman facepalmed and looked at us apologetically. "Oh, I'm so sorry, kids, I noticed the girl here throwing up earlier and assumed that she might be pregnant and then you came to her with the other two kids and I saw her scolding you three, so I assumed..."

I laughed a little. "It's fine, Ma'am but please, never assume such things again" I clasped a hand over my head.

"Yeah Mom, you made us look so pathetic" The girl took her mother's hand and started dragging her.

"I'm really sorry about her" She yelled over her shoulder while forcing her mother into the car.

"What was she saying to you both? We didn't find anything funny" Alec huffed.

"Oh Forget that, Kiddo. Let's get inside the store" He scooped Alec in his left arm and then looked at Kaya, she was looking at him.

"You too, little lady" He took Kaya in his arms as well. She giggled.

Then Helia finally turned his attention to me. "I'm taking 'our' kids inside the store, and you can go and change. You might want to look a bit presentable instead of a poor teenage mother-to-be" He said the last part in a babyish tone which made me laugh.

I thwacked him on his arm playfully. "You better take care of the kids otherwise I'll_" I warned still in playful manner.

"Or what? You'll kiss me?" Helia mouthed. Suddenly, a smirk played at his lips and he winked at me.

Blood rushed to my cheeks and made my cheeks go really hot but I managed to keep up a cool eye contact, never flickering my eyes to avoid his intense gaze.

"Or I'll make Veronica kiss you" I mouthed back with the same cocky expression as him.

His smirk turned upside down and he huffed. "I won the bet, remember?" He jerked his face closer to mine and rolled his eyes.

Something clicked in my mind because of his words and I blinked my eyes. He blinked his eyes back, still keeping his face real close to mine. "What were you to tell me last night, Helia?" I questioned.

His eyes widen at my question and he jerked his head back in the blink of eye. He composed himself immediately. "What? When?" He played innocent.

"When we were dancing" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Umm, you know, What? Go get fixed up first, I'll tell you later" With that he bolted inside the store, leaving me behind confused as well as irritated.

"Ready?" Helia questioned, approaching the car with a bag full of food and Alec and Kaya beside him.

I nodded, stretching my arms out for the food. He rolled his eyes while tossing me the bag and then began putting Alec and Kaya in the back seat.

"You changed already!" He exclaimed in disblief and sat down in the driver seat.

I stuck my tongue out at him and then turned behind to look at Kaya and Alec. "Did Helia buy you alot of sweets?"

"No, he didn't. He said we'll get cavities" Kaya huffed and Alec nodded in agreement.

I giggled at them. "He's right, kids. Do you want to go school without teeth?"

Kaya's expression changed into a horrified one. "No, I'll look so bad like that, right Alec?" She turned to Alec.

He nodded seriously but then shifted his attention to me. "She's a drama queen" He mouthed to me.

I laughed but then my head started hurting, so I held onto it tightly. "Ouch" I mumbled.

"Are you alright, Flo?" Kaya questioned with a concerned voice.

I smiled at her. "I'm fine, Ky"

"Did you take the med?" Helia asked with firm voice.

I looked back at him and found his eyes slight turned in my direction. "After eating something" I said, shifting in my seat.

"And when are you gonna eat?" He raised a perfect brow, his mouth forming a thin line.

"Right now, Sir" I faked a shudder and started taking things out of the bag to eat.

"Good" He chuckled and tossed me my phone.

"Turn it on. Brandon is really concerned for you" He sighed.

I shrugged and turned on my phone. As soon as it turned on, it was flooded with texts and missed calls. My brows shot to the sky, I had never received this much texts and calls in a short period of time.

I started going through the calls. They were all from my friends but 21 calls were from Brandon. I decided to call him right after going through the texts.
The first one was from Musa and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets when I opened it.

It was a picture of Dylan with a black eye and swollen lips and above it was a video of 14 seconds. I lowered the volume to zero and played the video. As the video started, Helia was punching Dylan in eye and then Brandon came out of nowhere and punched Dylan on the lips and with that the video ended.

"Oh My God" I whispered, my mouth hanging open.

I turned to Helia with a look of disblief. He was staring back at me. I couldn't say anything else, so I raised my phone in his face.

He squeezed his eyes shut. "Shit" He murmured, slightly opening his eyes and peeking at me.

"What happened after I passed out Helia and what were you going to tell me during the dance?" I threw my hands up in the air, exasperated.

He squeezed the back of his neck and slowed down the car to give me his full attention. "Uhh, Let's make a deal, Flora" He whispered.

I gazed back at the kids, ignoring Helia for a second. Kaya and Alec were both busy in their own little worlds. I went back to Helia. "What kind of deal?" I whispered back.

"I'll tell you one thing in detail, you can choose which one you want to hear" He again whispered.

I pursed my lips. I knew what was more important to me right now. I sighed. "What happened after I blacked out?"

"Good choice" He let out a breath in relief which was quite unnerving but I let it go.

"Okay, after you collapsed in my arms, all of our friends rushed to us. They started questioning how it happened and then Bree came with Nick and told us that she saw Dylan giving you a drink. We checked your glass and it was really spiked. Then I left you with Bloom and we all went to look for Dylan. We found him in the parking lot talking on his phone..." He fell silent after that.

I sighed. "And you punched him in the eye and Brandon on his lips. What happened after that?"

He cleared his throat, as he ashamed of his attack. "We asked him why he spiked your drink and he replied it was to unnerve me and Bree, so I punched him again. It was really late, about 2 or 3 a.m in the morning. We all went back to Stacey's house to get our things and leave. Bloom had taken you there already and changed into Brandon's shirt because your stuff was packed and she was extremely tired to get anything else"

He took a deep breath and continued again. "I got you into my car and also Kaya and Alec because I knew you wanted them to come with us" He chuckled a little.

"I'm not a violent person, Lora" He said after a moment of silence. "This is the second time, I've ever punched in my whole life"

I blew you out and smiled. "Pacifist?"

"Pacifist" He nodded. "You're mad at me and Brandon?" He murmured.

I shook my head. "Not at all. I'm mad at Dylan for spiking my drink" I fell back in my seat, adjusting my head againt the seat.

"That's a relief. Now eat, Miss Linphea. You've to take the medicine too" He fixed his gaze back on the road, after giving me a last dashing smile.

I took out a pack of oreo and began munching on one. "What were you going to tell me, Helia?" It was really itching me and I couldn't keep my mouth shut because curiosity always got the best of me.

"Eat, Lora" He responded, not breaking his gaze from the road.

"Please?" I pouted.

"Eat" He said, firmly this time.

I shut up instantly and picked up my phone to tell everyone that I was fine.

My eyes flung open on hearing the sound of my glass door, which lead to the balcony, getting open. The whole room was illuminated with light, suddenly.

I didn't get scared because I knew it was Helia. Only two persons had done it since I started living here, Musa since we became friends and Helia when he pulled a prank on me.

I knew for a fact that it wouldn't be Musa because she had gone late last night from my house and she didn't get up early on Sunday mornings. I doubt that she would be up even in the afternoon because tomorrow was Monday and we were going to start our school back after taking a long vacation for Noah and Stacey's wedding.

"Morning, Miss Linphea" Helia greeted, pulling my covers away from my body and exposing me to cool air.

I sat up immediately, glaring at him. I adjusted my shirt on my stomach. Thank God, I was wearing a loose shirt.

"Good Morning, Helia" I said and then frowned at him. "You sneaked into my room because?"

I looked up and down at him and noticed that he was in sweatpants and a sleeveless shirt, exposing his muscles. His hair were messy and he was certainly looking like a greek god.

He seriously hot.

He shrugged. "I was getting bored, so I decided to come to your room"

"Through the balcony?" I arched a brow. I got up from the bed and fumbled for my shoes.

"Yeah, What's the fun in coming from the main door?" He chuckled.

I rolled my eyes at him and giggled. "So, we should remove the front doors of every single house in the state and instead use windows to get inside everyone's house?" Sarcasm laced my words.

He smirked all of sudden. "That's a great idea"

I laughed and went out on the balcony. I sat on one of the two seat which I had on the balcony. "You should probably see a doctor soon."

He came out on the balcony but instead of sitting he went to the edge of it and turned to me. "Nah, I'm better off without a doctor"

He was about to jump off of the balcony but I stopped him. "I've never seen your room, Helia and you've seen my room twice" I told him.

He chuckled. "Thrice actually" He corrected. "And you can barge into my room anytime"

I laughed, throwing my head back. "You're such a gentleman, Helia Knightly"

He grinned and turned his back on me to jump off of the balcony. He moved swiftly next to his balcony, climbed the metallic pipe next to it and jumped on his balcony.

He then turned around to face me. "Can you come into my room like this?" He arched his brows, folding his arms across his chest, challenging me.

I nodded my head in affirmation. "Yup, I can but I prefer the main door" After saying that, I gave him a quick smile and went into my room.

My smile dropped to the floor and went to hide behind the curtains when my eyes fell on Brandon sitting on the edge of my bed, smirking. Well, from the look on his face, he definitely saw Helia and me. But it was really unnerving to see his sudden mood swings.

One time he's happy about our relationship even though it was a stupid thing to tease each other, the other time he's acting protective of me and wanted me to stay away from him. I can't seriously handle his mood changes.

"Good Morning, Brandon" I muttered, plopping down on the bed next to him.

"Morning, Morning, Baby sis" He pinched my cheek and held it until it was turned pink.

"Ouch," I jerked my face back and narrowed my eyes. "Why are you being so bubbly?" I slapped his head.

He grinned and wrapped his hand around my shoulder. "I was in a pretty bad mood when I woke up but it was changed when I came to your room and saw you laughing with Helia on the balcony"

I chuckled. "You can't walk into my room like this?" I playfully pinched his nose.

He held his shirt with a hurt look on his face. "And Helia can?"

I frowned. "How do you know that he sneaked inside?"

"Well, you wouldn't invite someone this morning in your room, will you?" He ruffled my hair.

"Hmmm, good point. So, you're not affected by the fact that your friend is sneaking into your sister's room?" I fell back on my bed and forced him to do the same.

He gave me a you-must-be-kidding-look and waved his hand in the air. "Nah, because I know he has no bad intentions but if it were another person..."He cleared his throat and whispered. "I would've beaten the sh*t out of him"

He looked at me with a huge smile on his face. "You didn't say anything on Stella and I being together, so I've no right to stop you from dating my friend. It's your life you can do whatever you want to do but I'm here as your big brother, always for protecting you"

I kissed him on his cheek and sat down on the edge of the bed. "We're not dating, Brans" I sighed but it was barely audible.

Brandon stood up from my bed. "Not for long" He mumbled, reaching for the door.

He didn't say it to me, He was just declaring something in the air which I highly doubted would become true but then the flash of Helia and I dancing together rushed through my brain and I groaned out in in exasperation.

Brandon was gone when I groaned, so I stood up and crawled inside my bathroom to clear out the stupid thoughts which were trying to plant something inside my head.
