Waking up, the first thought that hit my mind was that of last night, I was looking up the ceiling, still wondering, can't really believe all that have happened, it feels like miracle, but I never braced up for it, so I didn't really know how to react to it, I just turned my phone off after watching that video and slept in, believing that the moment I wake up in the morning, the weight of the News would be much easier to understand.
Getting up from bed, I still decided to leave my phone turned off, even though I knew that my parents or siblings might possibly call, but I believe my Dad could understand really well why my phone was off. He gave me a lesson, telling me that whenever I am in a situation where I can't really get the feelings straight, I should turn off my device, that way, I can find peace within and also gets to think clearly for myself without any distractions. That's the secret of how to live a public Life like ours, since we all are public figures, so all the attention will always be there whenever we Make the headlines.
The video revealed that she saw the other girl tamper with my water, during that night when she wanted to apologize for the beef going on between us, she had injected something inside that water, knowing that, she's too disappointed in herself for keeping her mouth shut in such situation. She claimed that she herself should be punished too by law for allowing such humiliation and lies to befall me. Both of them were best of friends, she knew that the girl was about crossing the line, but she didn't try to stop her or talk her out of it, instead she decided to sit still and allow her best friend to steal my freedom away from me, steal something I love and work hard for away from me. She also stated that she hasn't been herself since that day until this competition, she tried to act like that was all nothing, that I deserve it, but no, that was wrong, and the truth needed to be exposed. She begged for my forgiveness through that post, and also begged for her and her friend to not be punished intensely, that they really regret their actions.
I possibly believe that's why that reporter had come to me in the restaurant, haven seen the headline, he wanted to be the first to get comments out from me. This was too much, the News was too much that I am scared to leave the building.
I turned my phone on, messages were full on my emails, just the way it was when I was charged with doping, but now, the truth have been revealed, it's possibly still the same people who have come back to say something else, I just minimized my email and left my home screen on, throwing the phone on the couch, getting ready for calls which would definitely be coming any moment from now.
It's almost noon, I've been answering calls after calls, even though there are just less than thirty people with my contact, I speak longer with some of them, especially my family members who were happy that the truth have been revealed, my conversation with Jade lasted for a while too, as well as Cameron who wasn't just happy about my justice, but have already gotten the information that Aiden an I are now back together, not just as friends, but romantically.
That was the conversation I did enjoy amongst them all, other conversations have been emotional, leaving tears in my eyes, but Cameron, Cameron balanced the whole feeling with his call, making me remember about the lovely night I've had with Aiden. With that thought in mind, I believe I should be the one making the next call now, rather than waiting to be called by someone else.
I called Aiden's line, he wasn't reachable, I tried a few times more before I decided to leave it, maybe he's in the patient care or in the Lab, anywhere he was, I believe he was actually busy and can't be reached, I was about dropping my phone when it lit up, the name on the screen was My All.
Yeah, I have removed his number from blacklist and have now removed Aiden and wrote it My All, not because I actually wanted to, but because that's actually what he was, my everything. When Dad told me about not being the leader all my life, I was kind of confused and wasn't understanding him, who can be compared with my Dad?, No one, I believe he doesn't know that, that was why he could have made that speech, but now did I happen to understand most of his teachings so far. Though I honor my Dad and all my family members, I feel more like I belong to Aiden more than them, when my family gives their requests, I consider them, but when Aiden gives his command, that's what I do without further questions. Did I saw myself choosing a man over my Dad, that's a typical no, but right now, I believe when that situation comes, the decision was going to be tough, I just pray it never gets to such scenario.
“ Hey Babe....”
I was taken aback by the name, I brought the phone out from my ear and looked at the screen to make sure it was My All, and not my Dad, confirming it was Aiden, I brought it back to my ear, really wasn't expecting the name, I was stunned, yet love it that he just called me that, there's a high chance that I am the only one that could have gotten that name from him.
“ Hello, Good morning..... I've been thinking about you ever since the idea of you crossed my mind....” I just spilled that out without him asking.
“ Wow.... Now I'm having goosebumps babe, do you want to steal my mind away?.... Don't worry babe, very soon I won't be crossing your mind, I'll live in your mind....”
