Book 2 of The Adeline Series
after a while of silence. It was just us beneath the billions of stars, then Tom pointed his hand to a bright shining star
" that star is called Adeline," he said, marking my name.
I laughed loudly and shook my head...

" Don't walk away from me and tell me what I saw is nothing! " I shouted.
Tears stream down my cheeks as I watch Tom turn his back from me and walk inside our room without saying anything
" so now you're letting another woman be close to you!?- "
" Vanya just needs comfort! How hard are those words to be put inside your head? She needs help! " he shouts back at me.
I feel my heart breaking into millions of pieces as I watch the love of my life raise his voice in front of me
We never really have any heated arguments like this. But after I came back to our suite minutes ago and saw Vanya sitting in our bed
close to Tom while his arms were wrapped around her. It hurts my feelings
"Help?! Help? What do you mean? Haven't you noticed that she's fine for almost an entire week now? " I protested.
Tom looks away while his breathing gets heavier, it's been one week since Vanya has been staying with us.
None of us like her, except Tom who thinks she needs help after her parents kicked her out of their house, but me and the others have already seen that she's acting it all up
And yet he thinks I'm lying
" she's lying- "
" lying! How can you accuse someone like that Adeline? If you are in her state I already know that you're gonna walk up to someone and ask for their help! " he shouts.
His words made me stop. Suddenly, all of the memories of my father abusing me, and the memories of me begging for help flooded into my mind. I look down at the ground while tears fall
Tom went quiet until his footsteps went away.
" w-where are you going? " I asked worriedly and followed him.
He grabbed the keys and left our suite without looking back at me
He left without saying any words
I fell to my knees and cried the pain out. Broken sobs come out from my lips as I place my hand on my chest, feeling the pain in my heart while I can't think of anything that can calm me down
" t-tom " I cried his name silently.
I stood from the ground and ran out of the suite while tears wet my cheeks. I ran to the nearest restaurant and bars just to look for him
People were turning their heads and watching me but I ignored their stares. I pulled out my phone and dialed his number, biting my lip as I anxiously waited for him to pick up his phone
