Chapter 20

|| Savannah's POV ||

Holy Shit! I bet they cheated this time!

Aria rumbled angrily, pushing her curls aside to jump off the couch. She was hurt more likely. During this entire evening, she was quite expectant about this announcement as she firmly believed that Ares would be chosen by PK again. But things took a turn surprisingly.

I pinched my palm painfully. Honestly, somewhere the decision affected me too as I knew what football meant to Ares. Although he was picked by the second top, the thought of seeing him brokenhearted touched my emotions. He was supposed to belong to the top club.

Surprised by my speculations, I fell into a deep dilemma.

Did I begin to care for Ares?

I didn't know how long I lingered in those thoughts until Aria's worrying voice pulled me back to earth,

" Ares must be very sad. It was his dream to perform as a PK member."

In a snap of a moment, I forgot everything about how stupid was I thinking of Ares's affairs. My heart began to panic anxiously. I blurted out impatiently,

" Did he say that to you?"

Aria puffed her cheeks out, rolling her eyes back in irritation. She stated in a bitter tone, scoffing,

" Do you think that he needs to spill anything? He isn't okay with the fact that Finn has taken away his righteous position. He is feeling down. Ares.... is easily broken and twisted. I don't know what he is facing right away."

My heart sank deeper after Aria elaborated on the seriousness of this situation. She wanted to see him on top but looks like, Finn had done something again. She exhaled heavily, staring at the doorway blankly,

" I think, he will come back. Let's wait for him."

Two hours later, Ares didn't return to the house still. It didn't put my heart at ease. I kept sending him texts, hoping to see his flirtatious reply,

" Where are you?"

" Aria is worried about you!"

" Ares!"

Disappointed, I dropped the phone aside, looking over at Aria who just fell asleep on the couch. She was having a bad stomach and mental exhaustion. I concluded these two factors because of her early sleeping today. Naturally, she didn't sleep early at night at other times.

Sighing heavily, I walked down to Aria and tugged her carefully under a warm blanket. Picking the key to their house car, I headed for the garage, challenging my guts for driving this late at night alone.

I couldn't stay in one place at home! I just wanted to know that Ares was safe out there or maybe a phone call!

It sounded unbelievable to me that I was running for Ares but who could stop a heart?

A night welcomed me outside. Late night cool breeze blew through my curls, sending shivers down my spine. It was getting cold out there but I could care less at this time. I needed to find Ares.

But where could he be at this time of hardship?________

|| Savannah's POV ||

After wrecking my brain hard for the longest period, I called his teammate once to know where Ares could be doing right now. He sent me a location that seemed like a local bar. I turned on my wheels to go back to the opposite road and find Ares.

Annoying music welcomed my ears when I entered the bar, obviously not liking this place. Everything seemed like a mess and I couldn't understand why these rich players would pick the cheapest bar in the city today.

Shouldn't they go on celebrating in five-star today?

As my eyes followed the expectant face amidst the crowd, Kevin waved his hand from a stool. My eyes caught him and I strode over to him, finding no one else besides.

" Where is Ares?", I spoke, finally breathing safely. It had been a hectic journey after searching for him for hours. Kevin hesitated for a brief second until pointed back at somewhere in distance,

" Umm.. there.."

He held some hesitations behind his tone which I couldn't understand until my eyes tracked the place and froze midway, finding some whores playing over Ares's lap. He looked like he was enjoying himself. My blood turned warm beneath my skin. All the nerves getting awakened by anger as I stared at them stupifying.

What the heck was he doing with them?

I screamed mentally and marched forward, not caring about whoever saw us together. My presence alarmed the two girls who possibly recognized me as his girlfriend. My voice turned loud as I yelled at Ares,

" What the hell are you doing here, Ares? For fuck's sake, your sister was getting worried to death."

Ares finally snapped his eyes, staring up at me stupifying. He didn't expect me to be here either did I. It still bothered me to think that how much I cared for him. But one thing that caught my attention today, Ares looked vulnerable, sad, and especially broken.

I swallowed hard to avoid those blank eyes. For some apparent reason, I felt that I was the reason behind it.

Did Finn do something to kick Ares out of Jk's team?

Pushing all the negative thoughts beside me, I glared at those girls, threatened coldly,

" Time's up, girls. Get off, bitches."

They made a scoffing noise before standing up and disappearing from my sight. Thank heaven that they didn't end up arguing with me. I was sure that I would have beaten them black and blue if they made any noise.

Ares looked blank-headed when I dropped to sit on his side, furrowing tightly. He mumbled reaching for another glass,

" You are here, Princess. I am celebrating!"

I snatched the glass from his grip. Though, I knew that he had great abilities to stay sober after drinking a lot, something told me that he had devoured more than enough of his capabilities. My voice came out scolding,

" Enough, Ares! You aren't enjoying it. Aria is worrying for you. Here you are getting drunk like a sick man."
