Abandoned Love

CHAPTER 24- Hearing Things

This is the first time I saw him cry.

What's wrong with Calvin?

After smiling sadly, he got shocked.

"W-what happened to you? Why do you have bruises?"

He sounded concerned, a bit, huh?

Well, it's surprising but that made me happy.

"Oh, (looked to my elbow) its fine."

"Let's go to the clinic."

He stood up and tried to pull my arm.

"Aw!"

I said, because it hurts.

"Look? You need to go to the clinic."

"No, its fine. And besides, I don't want to bother you"

He sat beside me, and said

"If it's you, anything is not bothersome."

Then he smiled.

What's happening? Holy shit I am having goose bombs often huh?

"Nah, I'm totally fine."

Then I smiled the brightest one for him not to worry.

"Tsk."

Is he annoyed? He stood up and walk away from me.

"Huh? That guy is really broody, and he has mood swings."

I am just staring at a bright and sunny day when I realized that-

"Holy shit!! I'm 24 minutes late!"

Ohh, that's why he left, because it's time for thesis.

But why didn't he say it to me?

Oh, that grumpy man.

I was about to stand up, when someone talked

"Sit."

"Ohh, you came?"

I said, pertaining to Calvin who brought a first aid kit.

"Aww, is that for me?"

Gosh, he is so sweet.

"No, it's for the tree."

Nah, I take back what I think he is.

"Psh."

I said, a bit of annoyed.

"Give me your arm."

Then, he started cleaning my boo boos. I thought that his hands are really heavy, but it seems like he is good at this.

"Wow, you are so good."

I said, grinning.

"It's my first time doing this with another person."

"Oh, so am I lucky? Very thankful?"

I said.

"Just don't go to fights, and don't be weak."

"Why?"

Because I am not always there to protect you.

""Huh? What did you say?"

I said, I really heard something

"Nothing."

"I really heard something."

But he just ignored me and continued being my nanny.

"But, why did you cried? Is there something wrong?"

I said out of the blue. I really wanted to ask him that question but he left me.

Because I thought that you liked me.

"What?"

I said. I really heard something...

"I said nothing."

"Really?"

"Yup."

"But, why are you so down this morning?"

Because you and Zach are dating.

"Hey, what is that?"

I asked once again.

Hmm, I really heard something.

"I didn't say a thing. Please don't ask too many questions, I'm not in an interview."

He said lividly.

"Fine."

I said

"But, one last question, how can I make you happy?"

I said, to repay him for what he did.

Break up with Zach.

"What?"

"Ta-da! Your boo boos are cleaned up!!"

He sounded really happy and childish now, different from what I say lately.

"Whoa, you are good huh?!"

I said while laughing and looking at my elbow with a band aid that has panda stickers.

"Don't laugh, you're getting prettier."

He said.

"W-what?"

Did I hear it right? Prettier?

Me?

"I said you're getting prettier when you laugh. So don't, I might fall and never get back."

What? Is he flirting with me?

I might fall down and never get back.

Hmm, I didn't understand that part.

"Wow, you are cheesy."

I said in amazement.

"Let's go?"

I asked.

"Where?"

"To pay for my debts.
