Mated To My Stepbrother-Chapter 45

Aria pov

As the tim continues to tell me funny jokes. I couldn’t help but chuckle loudly. I was so happy he had lifted my spirits, and for that split second, I had forgotten what Jaxon had done to me.

I suddenly got tired of smiling at him awkwardly. He stared at me also awkwardly as we had nothing to say to each other.

"So, do you plan on forgiving Jaxon anytime soon?"Tim Asked me. I shut my eyes in frustration. I did not want him to ask me that, and now he had asked me. How was I going to answer a question like that?

"I am going to have to talk to him one day or another. I know why because my mother would be back, and then she would resolve the problem between us. I cannot continue to prove so strong-headed. I would have to accept it one way or another," I said to him,

but we both stared at each other awkwardly. He seemed a bit sad at the fact that I was planning to talk to him.

"Jaxon does not deserve Someone Like You. I cannot believe you have gotten so close to him so quickly."Tim said and at first, I did not understand what he had just meant. It wasn’t like I had shared any of my intimacy journey with him, but I decided to wash it off anyway.

The awkwardness continued between the two of us as none of us had anything to say to each other, but Tim, being the kind of person he was who always wanted to talk to me, suddenly spoke up again;

"but for real, do you plan on cutting down your hair? I knew I had been the first person to bring you hope for that decision. Still, after a few minutes of thinking about it, I changed my mind and did not want you to cut it off. Jaxon, the only person you seem to trust so much is pleading with you to cut it off and even convince the doctor that you should cut down your hair. Don’t you know that cutting your hair might change your identity?" Tim said he was right, but I did not want it to seem like I was procrastinating the issue that far.

"I didn’t want it to seem like the doctor had directly told me what to do, yet I did not do it. That is why I am being silent this way, or else I would have found a way to leave my hair like this. That was also one of the reasons why I was scared".

"No matter how often I stared at my reflection, I couldn’t help but see a different person in me. I did want to be different. I do not want to see a different person in myself; I just want to be that Aria everybody knows, but I don’t think that can be possible after what Maya did to me".

Tim stood up very angrily and hung his back around his shoulder. "What do you plan on doing?"

"You are being so nice and so silent, but I am going to face Maya and the others. I need to know why they are doing this. This was just so heartless. You were meant to report this, but you kept quiet, being the nice Aria you are," Tim said, and I felt a bit motivated like I wanted to report them, but I wondered what I would gain but more trouble from everything.

"I know you might think I feel so weak and don’t want to do anything to Maya and her Co, but I have a lot of things I plan to do, and not doing any of those things would cause nothing but more chaos and havoc in my life. I did not want them to keep stressing me out. If this was what they wanted to do for me, then so be it. I just hope I will not have any more encounters with them after this. I don’t want to be another pawn in their games again; I am just tired and fed up with it, which is why I said I should not. Do you even think the principal or anyone in authority would do anything about this? They had more authority over me, so I decided to stay silent."

Tim still seemed angry as he held to his bath tightly, not wanting to let go of it or sit back down, but I had decided, and I just hoped he would accept my decision and forget about it.

He stared at me for a while as he seemed emotional. I knew his kind of person, and I could tell he was feeling very emotional to me, but this was for the best. I needed to move on from this movie. I would have no choice but to want revenge, but if I cut them all out and start afresh, then I will forget about everything.

After a few seconds, Tim decided to sit back down. He held my shoulder tightly as we stayed into each other’s eyes. The gaze lasted for a long time. I knew he wanted to reassure me that I was safe with him,

"do not worry, everything will be alright, and even if we don’t do anything to Maya and the others, their fate will catch up with them, and they will pay for everything, so do not worry yourself," he muttered to me.

I nodded like a little child who had just been given daily happiness. Just then, the door creaked open, and Jaxon walked in. He seemed a bit silent and a bit shaken, and I felt pity for him. I could not believe I had pushed him away that way, but suddenly, he continued to work towards me like he had something else he wanted to say. I became puzzled.

"What is wrong? Jaxon "I asked, a bit puzzled.
