Had To Be You

The Touch | Ch: 2

Leo gasped " Evelyn what the hell happened to your nose?"

"Umm... I think some kind of work is going on, on the terrace so, few workers were moving some stuff, she was running in the hallway and got hit by a big door or something. Her nose started bleeding and she could barely stand so I grabbed her and-"

Before Jasper could finish, Hazel, like always, swooped in and started screaming "you grabbed her! How tight did you grab her? Did you hold her by her waist really close? Smelling all heavenly. Evelyn, did you enjoy it? I bet you did?"

Hazel continued screaming "I can't believe you grabbed her and then you brought her inside the boys washroom, that does not seem like a plan at all." she says sarcastically. 

Jasper didn't say a word and sighed. It's not that difficult to understand that Jasper was just simply being polite but his crazy control freak ex-girlfriend was going nuts without any reason.

"Are you ok?" asked Chloe.

I replied "yeah... I don't know"

"Maybe you should go back home." Chloe suggested.

After a few seconds I realized that I was silent. Leo asked this time "hey are you sure you're ok? Should we take you to the medical room?"

"no I am fine I'll just pee and meet you guys outside"

"Evelyn!" Chloe said loudly. she looks at me with wide eyes waiting for me to realize something which I obviously don't "This is the boys' washroom. We have to go to the girls washroom for you to pee."

"Damn it." I cuss lowly, "right, yeah. No, I'm fine, really." So much happened and it's just the first day, also I did not expect so much drama, especially involving me." I am fine, let's go."

I enter the class I could not ignore but notice Jasper sitting in the last bench quietly, he seemed a bit upset. Maybe because of what Hazel said. I took the second bench.

My nose was still hurting a lot. But I was way too afraid to touch it, what if it's really deep and I accidentally touch my bone. oh god no!

Still it was hurting, so I tried to touch it and something smelled really good. It was a familiar smell as well. All of a sudden there was a quick flashback of everything that happened in the washroom, but it was not really Jasper that came to my mind.

It was the touch, the firm grip, it was that feeling of being cared for, but there were several times when my mother or Chloe or Leo took care of me if I needed someone, I don't know why this wasn't like every other time.

To my surprise Jasper's face didn't come to my mind even once! Maybe it was my conscience because of what Chloe might feel for him. I think the whole thing felt different because I've never felt it before or maybe I did but I didn't think of it this way. 

Mom's got my head messed up with all the boyfriend talks. But where's  the smell coming from, jasper was sitting way far from me.

Oh shit! It's his handkerchief, I quietly groaned. He must have forgotten to take it from me. It had that smell. What the hell am I supposed to do with it? I quickly opened my bag and put it inside and tried to not think about anything that happened inside the washroom before everyone barged in. Basically, I don't want Chloe to think anything different than what it actually was.

(Bell rang for lunch)

"So did he really grab you close? like tightly?" I could tell that Chloe was insecure.

"No, he gave me the minimum support I needed. He just grabbed me enough to keep me standing and then dragged me inside of the boys washroom. I am sure he did that because it was the closest room" I said.
