COMPLETE WITH YOU

CHAPTER 10

'Come on now tell me who will be my sister in law? I am so excited to know'

I keep troubling with questions while we are on our way back home on cycle from class.

" You are not my sister and I promise I will tell you about it some other day now keep your eyes and mind on the road"

' whatever, I will keep troubling you till you tell me '

I was watching youtube on mom's phone in my free time when the phone rang and I picked it up after glancing at the caller ID.

" hmmm"

" help me with this questions na "

While talking about studies for a good fifteen minutes I decided to divert the topic back to our earlier conversation. 

Hope pinned in my voice I ask again in a soft voice.

" so who is that lucky girl? "
He took a few seconds and I kept waiting paitently when he said .......

'You I like you' and with that he hung up the call.

I was a blushing mess. I had a huge crush on him but never expected him to like me back.

A few years later we were back to being friends but even closer and ultimately fell in love because of close proximity the whole time.

All of my friends said that it was bound to happen and that we look good together.

But that was from the outside.
The pain and problems I suffered were unknown to everyone including him.

He won't talk to me or look at me yet I kept him near hoping one day it will change but that kind of day never came.

16th July the worst day of my life.

I had gone out to buy groceries and I decided to take a lonely way cause I was feeling sad about his and mine relationship. That is when I saw something I never wanted to.

Jean was looking at his ex with eyes full of lust .

I screamed unable to think of anything.

He eyes locked with mine.
Those hazel brown eyes depicting guilt and regret.

As crazy as it sounds I had forgiven him and that made him change his behaviour . Cause his reason was that I never let him get physically close to me.

Later on our relationship faced problems but I managed to solve them alone and tried to be happy yet the insecurities remained and self doubt got a hold on my mind since then.

Present day.....

I heard a gunshot
I waited for the burst of pain but it never came.
I opened my eyes and they met with the person I had been thinking about a while ago.

His hazel brown eyes were darker with fury but what was more shocking was the gun in his hands and that I all I remember before passing out .

The smell of leather and books filled my nose as I opened my eyes trying to adjust to the surrounding . I was not in my room or in the hospital. It was a dark coloured room with fancy furniture and decorations.

" You are awake " I didn't even have to look at the person to know the source.

I quickly got up and scooted to the far end of the bed away from him.
The person in front of me was not the Jean I knew he was a murderer .

"What happened to you Jean "
I half screamed at him while he kept calm.

"let me explain babe"
I held up my hand not interested in knowing something I am not ready to know yet.
I looked near me and found my phone.

Without thinking I dialed Rowan's number and asked him to pick me up. Then I dropped a pin on my location and sent him.
All this while Jean kept looking at me.

" where are you going ?"
" I need some space and time to absorb what all happened just now "

Without saying anything more I get up from bed and exit the room. A strong arm holds my wrist but I yank it without even looking back as I knew I would cry the moment I lock my eyes with his.

I got into the lift in the apartment as he followed me.

" Scarlet "
" Jean "
