Chapter 40: Relationship Trial's

Astrid POV

"Soooo you and Cohen seem pretty close" Arista teases wiggling her eyebrows. I roll my eyes trying to hide the red hue on my cheeks. I stretch my legs out on the floor, the doctor advised me to stretch as I had been in a coma for weeks. The doctors also handed me a new set of hearing aids, which took some convincing.

I'm proud of who am I and whether I am deaf or not I realize I am capable of anything. It's just sad my father didn't have the same beliefs.

"Nothing is going on between me and Cohen... besides I don't think we would work out anyway," I say candidly. It could work out you are just being a punk, the little voice in my head taunts me. It's not that I don't want to try it's just...

"Are you shitting me, you would have to be blind not to see the chemistry between you two. Seriously if you don't want him I'd like to have a go" Arista jokes. Something about that statement sets my heart on fire.
