Forbidden Love

Get in the damn car

I open my eyes only to close them again since it was way too bright. After a few minutes i open them slowly to adjust with the lighting and i realised i was all alone in the nurse's home.

My headache was slightly better but not gone. I searched for my backpack, which was on a chair right next to the bed I was laying on and took my phone out the back pocket.

It was 12 45. How long did i sleep for? Lunch ended 15 minutes ago. I go to Ian's chat and send him a text message.

Me: Are you in class rn?

We have Chemistry with Mr Anderson this slot so if he's in class i doubt he'll be able to text back.

I place my phone on the side of my pillow and close my eyes. I hear the door being opened but i ignore it because i think it's the nurse. I shift a bit on the bed and i hear someone clear their throat. That doesn't sound like a nurse.

"You're awake". That deep voice again which makes me go still. I slowly open my eyes as if i'm just waking up. "No i'm not" i reply and he shakes his head.

I sit up from the bed when i hear footsteps coming near me. Mr Sanchez gives me a bottle of water and a bowl of chicken soup and i scrunched my nose.

"It's good for you" he says. "It would be good to have some actual food not this shi-" i clear my throat. "Stuff" i correct myself.

"It has a lot of benefits. Chicken broth is rich with essential fatty acids and protein which helps your body build and repair healthy muscle, bond, skin and blood. You should try some it's actually really good" he says.

"Then you eat it" i push the tray away and he narrows his eyes. "Miss Miller it's important that you eat because-"
"Fine" i cut him off.

I expect him to leave but he doesn't move a muscle. "Don't you have a class to teach?" I ask. "No" he simply replies. "Well shouldn't you be anywhere else but here? I'll be fine in here you can go" i tell him. "Eat Miss Miller" he says still looking deep into my eyes.

Sighing i take a spoon full of the chicken broth with little pieces of chicken and vegetables in it and put it in my mouth.

The flavor is flat, vegetal and a bit sour from the vegetables. But it is actually quite nice. I take another spoon and the flavour is really starting to grow on me. Mr Sanchez just stood there watching me until i finished the soup. I took a couple of sips of water and closed it.

I should probably go to class since i'm feeling a little better. I hop off the bed and put on my shoes. I check my phone for any messages from Ian and there is one. I click on it and it says:

Ian: Nope lol skipping rn. Can't bear the thought of being without you in my father's class. Get well soon <3.

I facepalm and shake my head at the message. I begin typing but pause when i hear movement behind me.

"Are any of your parents home?" Mr Sanchez asks. Parents. With an s. "My mom is at work and my dad... Urm...It's just my mom and I" I pause. He nods then says "Right. I'm sorry".

Omg he thinks my father's dead. If you can call him my father. He doesn't deserve that title, and who knows maybe he is dead. The thought of him being dead makes something stir in my stomach and i don't like it. But why? I don't even know him. I don't care what happens to him. Right? I convince myself.

Should i tell him about my father? That seems too personal to be sharing with your teacher right? I probably shouldn't.

"Well do you have someone to take you home?" He asks and i shake my head. "It's fine i'm feeling better i can take the bus home" i say. "Are you sure you'll be okay" he asks and i nod.

"Yes" i say and he narrows his eyes. "Yes sir" i correct myself and he sighs.

I grab my backpack and head to the door. But before i do i take out my phone, go to the camera app and look at myself. My hair is like a bird nest on top of my head. I finger comb my hair till it looks decent and i head to the door once again.

Mr Sanchez moves out of the way to let me open the door. Once I'm outside of the school i take out my phone to text Ian because i didn't get the chance to in the nurse's room.

Me: Thank you :). Heading home rn. Talk to you later.

After sending the message i start walking to the bustop and right then and there it's starts pouring. I didn't carry an umbrella or anything so i start to walk faster to get to the bustop. I hear a car honking to my side and i walk even faster. At this point i might as well run.

"Goddammit Valerie get in the car" that deep voice says again. Give me a break dang. I stop suddenly and look to my side to find a white Range Rover parked to my side with Mr Sanchez looking right at me.

Shit.

I continue walking because no way i'm getting in the car with my English teacher. I hear the honks of the car and i turn to face him. "Get. In. The. Car" he says with a cold face.

"No way. I think i'm fine" i say. "You'll catch pneumonia and die" he says and i scrunch my nose.

"Get in the damn car Valerie you're already sick do you plan to die right now or what?" He says and i sigh giving in. Why is he so annoying? Literally so dramatic.

I start to walk up to his car and he opens the door from the inside so i can come in. He's such a gentleman, if only he wasn't my English teacher.
