Don't Let Me Go (Book 1)

Chapter 22

    '' Logan... '' I took another step closer, covering the little space between us. I place my hands on his shoulder and his smile turned into confusion '' Fuck you '' with that, I swiftly kneed him to the balls
    '' Aaa, Fuck!!!!!! '' the sound of pain erupted from his lips, with eyes wide open as he fell to the ground with hands on his balls. His cry was enough to call every student out to the hallway'' shit '' he let out, squeezing his eyes in pain.
    '' Beg you ?'' I said expressionlessly '' Do I look like a pushover.... I don't give a fuck who you are Logan. You can go to whatever length to frustrate me and make me hate my life but I would Never, ever, beg you for anything. I got better things to waste my time on ''
    '' aaa '' he cried in a much lower tone, on his knees, trying his best to hold back his tears. With that I Walk past him, not interested in using the restroom again. All eyes were on me in shock. Some gave me a sorry look and others were just in shock. It then came to my realization that. I fucked up big time. I stopped at my track as I flashed back to last night at the club. I lost my job because I slapped him and I just had to hit him in the nuts. I guess my school days are now over. I turn to face him confidently
    '' And Logan?'' I called, knowing very well he was in too much pain to reply '' You took my job last night. I will be waiting for you to take my scholarship... After all that is the best you can do with all the power you have... it is what you people are good at anyway '' The pain in my chest grew stronger as I spoke but I couldn't let them know I was hurting
    '' Logan!!!!!! '' Bianca suddenly appeared out of nowhere, alongside Lucas. They hurried to his side while I rolled my eyes and walked away. Suddenly the bell rang. I walked into the class, to my seat. Grabbed my bag.
    '' Where are you going? '' Gorge asked curiously. To my surprise, he was awake. I expected him to be sleeping. After sports class this morning
    '' Home ''
    '' But, school is not over yet '' more confused
    '' School is over for me '' I smiled and left.

I sat by the beach in silence. A place I always come to when things get too difficult to handle. The ocean, it helps let go. Listening to the waves and the cool breeze and as the cold water flowed up to my feet and flowed back, it washed away all the sorrows and left me relaxed. It may sound crazy to people but water is my therapist, the rain, the sea. '' Ha,'' I sighed in relief.
I remained in that spot still sunset. A beautiful view. I don't always get time to come watch the sunset but now that I am jobless and will probably be sent out of school. I think I will be free for some time. I suddenly got a beep from my phone. I reached for the phone in my bag pack. Only for me to see it was a message in the school group. I clicked on it to see that it was a video of me and Logan in the hallway. Whoever this anonymous person was? He wasn't helping my case. '' arrr '' I let out with my eyes closed. Trying not to think too much about it. I have gone through so much worse anyway.
I got up and began heading home. I can't tell my mother about this. Not after watching her cry this morning.
It was an hour walk back home. The moment I entered the house, I was welcomed with an amazing smell. Once again, I get to eat my mother's food. '' I'm home '' I announced
    '' oh Maria '' my mother called '' How was school today?'' I entered the kitchen to give her a hug
    '' great '' I smiled '' What about Malisa? '' instantly changing the topic
    '' I sent her out to get me Mosquito spray, she should be back soon ''
    '' oh '' I nodded
    '' Go get change, dinner is almost ready ''
    '' Okay '' with a smile, I hurried to the room to change into housewear. Almost immediately, my mother entered the room. Holding a box. She gave a suspicious smile as she hurried to sit on the bed next to me '' What are you doing?''
    '' Come, sit and try this out ''
    '' What is that?''
    '' Hurry, I don't want Malisa to come in '' she spoke, like a kid about to steal food and eat it in a hurry so she wouldn't get caught
    '' What is it?'' I smiled as I sat down. She opened the box only to surprise me with a new pair of white canvas'' Mummy! '' I yelled
    '' What? Don't you like it?'' worried
    '' It not that... it just that....'' I paused when I noticed the worries in her eyes. She was so excited when she came in with the box and as the idiot that I am, I wanted to ruin it '' Mummy '' I smiled'' I am shocked ''
    '' Oh..I thought you didn't like it '' she smiled
    '' I love it '' I reached for it and took off my dirty shoes then tried it. It was a perfect size
    '' It suits you perfectly ''
    '' Really? '' smiling while I sized the shoe up. It looked expensive 
    '' I saw the kids at school wearing fancy shoes and I felt bad ''
    '' Why would you feel bad mummy, it not like they make fun of me or anything '' I whined
    '' Even if they don't make fun of you, does that mean that you shouldn't wear nice things '' she scolded
    '' but mum...'' she caught me off
    '' Enough.. now keep it where Malisa wouldn't see it. I don't want her to whine about the matter...''
    '' Well she does need new shoes ''
    '' You already promised to get her new ones didn't you? '' she said '' Look at you, only care for us and forget about yourself '' She rolled her eyes and got up. '' Change and come eat
    '' Ok,'' I watched her leave and my eyes fell on the shoes. Too bad I may not get to wear it to school. Because of that asshole
