Chapter 44 Ending

• Alayah’s p.o.v.
• Topaz is still laughing her ass off and I am still in shock about blurting out my comment on Noah and a blow-up doll or maybe it is his comeback that has me in shock. I need to get my mind on something else and I rush up the stairs to see Grandpa, I will ask him something that I need an answer to and that will distract me form the blow-up doll.
• Nikolay keeps holding on to my hand as I rush into the living room, skidding to a halt when I see Mom and Dad making out. “Looks like they scared the rest of already.” I mumble as I turn towards Nikolay and hide my face in his chest, while he wraps his arms around me. Nathan is making gagging sounds as he walks into the living room and Mom throws a pillow at him, missing him by a long shot.
