《DDLG Academy: Double Life》Chapter 30
Advertisement
Liam, Jayson, Natalie, Nick, and Rosie all left a week ago. I felt sad knowing they wouldn't be near me anymore. It was honestly so fun having them here now it's so bland.
I dropped them off at the airport and got to see them leave at the gate. I first went to go say bye to Nick and Rosie seeing as they weren't head to the U.K. Rosie was heading to Washington and Nick was heading back to New York. Natalie lives in Canada but is headed to the U.K just so she can sign the lease to where she'll soon be living with Jayson and Liam.
While we waited on the plane we talked a bit about me coming to visit them soon and that the school year is almost over so I wouldn't need to worry about my grades slipping.
Before boarding the plane Jayson stayed behind to tell me something.
"So I'll see you in a couple of months I guess?" I gave him a simple smile.
"I guess you will, but you know that you could always come and live in the U.K with us after this school year is over," He told me.
I gave a small sigh, "This is barely my first year at this school and my parents want me to do all four years so I don't think I'll be able to move in with you guys any time soon,"
"Yeah...I know I shouldn't bud in or anything, but you literally make millions a year. Who knows how much a year because you haven't told anyone. And you're 18 about to be 19," he said seriously.
"And you're the one paying for your school so is it really your parent's decision to make you stay?" He questions me. I don't know what to respond back to him. He is right about that.
"I didn't want to say anything but seeing as I'm leaving now. I just wanted to say, this place is really messing up your mental health Carmen. I feel like you're going back to the same place you were a couple of years ago," his voice gets sincere when he says that last sentence.
I part my lips to say something but nothing comes out. I can't defend myself, maybe what he is saying is true...

"Look if you change your mind, you can always call Liam, Natalie, or me. And that room at the house will always be open for you," he gently holds my hand in his.
"I'll see you in a couple of months," he kisses my hand softly. The feeling of his lips on my hand felt somehow comforting. We look at each other and give each other a small smile and then we hug. I watch him board his plane. I take a breath in and out.
Then the plane takes off and they are gone...
I look over to grab my phone and check the time 6:24 AM I really don't wanna get up but I have to. I need to get up to get dressed and go eat breakfast. I move my blankets off of me and feel a bit of coldness first. They were so warm...I really wish I could stay in bed.
I get off my bed and go over to my closet and grab my Uniform. As I head over to the bathroom I hear a knock on the door. It's too early to deal with people right now...
Yeah, I'm not gonna answer that, I head to the bathroom and shut the door locking it. I turn the hot water on then hop in. I take a quick shower then come out. I dry myself off and put my uniform on. I get my hairbrush and hair tie and pull my hair back into a ponytail. I don't feel like having my hair in my face today.
Once I'm done I leave the bathroom and go into my room throwing my dirty clothes in the hamper. I get my bag and pack the things I need for the day then put it on. I give myself one last look in the mirror then exit my bedroom.
When I get to the living room part of my dorm I see Zane standing there looking out the window. As soon as I'm in the living room he turns around to face me. It's as if he can tell every step I take.
He gives me a soft smile and opens his mouth to speak but I beat him to it, "How did you get into my dorm?"

"I have a key, I am your caregiver so they gave me a key to your dorm," He shows me a key to my dorm then puts it back into his pocket. I simply nod to him and mumble an okay. I go over to the coffee table to grab some papers and put them in my bag.
"So how was your visit to your parents?" His voice sounds very hesitant. I begin to walk to the door and grab my keys from the table by the door. "Fine," I simply say to him. No context or anything.
Jayson was right I can't let them think they won or got under my skin. I open the door and Zane follows behind me. He closes the door behind me and we walk to the elevator. I press the button to go down. "Do you want me to carry your bag for you? It looks a bit heavy," He tells me reaching for my bag slightly.
"No," My grip on it gets a bit tighter suddenly. I keep staring at the elevator and avoid making eye contact with him. The elevator finally opens and we both enter. The elevator ride was quiet the whole time and very awkward. Thank god it was only a couple of seconds.
As soon as it open I got out of it fast. I tried walking faster than him but he easily caught up to me. As we walked to the dining hall he tried to hold my hand but I pulled it away from him.
"Are you okay Carmen?" He questions me as we walk.
"Yeah I'm peachy," I open the door to the dining hall and go straight to get my breakfast. I grab my own tray. I really don't want him touching anything of mine.
I get my breakfast and head to the table. I sit down by Avery who looks to be in little. I smile slightly at this. She's very adorable in her little space. She's playing around with her food and singing some sort of song? Casey is trying to make her be a bit more quieter but is failing miserably at it. Casey still is smiling though that Avery is having fun.
I poke at my food for a bit. I take a bite out of the egg wrap and chew it slowly. I could feel someone staring at me, most likely it's Zane from across the table. I get a spoon full of strawberry yogurt and eat it. Honestly, I'm not really that hungry right now, but I still gotta eat something.
"Are chu otay?" Avery turns to me with jam on the side of her lip. I smile at her softly.
"I'm fine Avery," I tell her simply. She gives me a look.
"Bwut...chu wook sad tome," She says as she gives me puppy dog eyes. Do I look sad...?
"You know mommy says, whenever someone sad dey needs a nappy! So...mwaybe...chu need nappy?" She says giggling towards me. The jam on her face is really bothering me. I grab a napkin and wipe it off her face.
"Tank you!" The bell rings and Casey gets Avery's attention. We all get up and put our trays to be cleaned then exit the dinning hall. As I walk to class I feel Zane behind me. "For someone who is supposedly 'fine,' they don't seem fine," He said.
"Well I am good actually and maybe you should just worry about being my caregiver who does caregiver things instead of trying to be my fucking therapist,"
He walks faster than I then walks in front of me getting in my way. He stops in front of me and makes me look up at him, "What did you just say, please I would love to hear you say it again!" He says sarcastically. I cursed in front of him, right that was one of the rules 'no cursing,'.
You know what? Go big or go home I'm I, right?
I take in a deep breath and yell loudly towards him, "FUCK, FUCKS, OF FUCKING, FUCKS!" I put all my anger out in those. His face gets all serious and he just nods.
He swiftly picks me off starts walking off to the dorms. I'm in deep trouble right now but do I care? No...let him give it his best...
