Obsession

Chapter 17

"Oh my God. Calvin,what the fuck I almost had a heart attack." I said screaming at him leaving  the semi circle but still keeping Jennifer hidden.

I then stomped over to him and turned his body away and started  walking  with him I looked back and saw Joe giving me a thumbs up. I walked even further. Finally I stopped and as I was about to say something he beat me to it.

"I'm the one who almost had a heart attack. I mean a girl gets killed...No brutally murdered at your school and then you just disappear."

I flinched at the mention of Crystal. "Sorry. We just had something important to attend to and you're practically a cop I couldn't go with you. I didn't even know what I was going to see."
He brushed his hand across my cheek and kept his hand there he then lifted his other hand to my other cheek, he then looked at me deeply his eyes vulnerable and his heart on his sleeve.

"I am not a cop. I am not a cop. You got that. My job is to make sure that tomorrow you're still breathing, that you can still scream when frustrated dance when happy and swoon over hot guys. My job is to make sure that you get to live. You've been through so much hell and are still facing hell that its the least you deserve. I want to give you the freedom to be happy to just do whatever you want whenever without me worrying that you'll be shot down. This world is a dangerous place and even if I wasn't your bodyguard my heart would still break every time you fall or get your heart broken because I like you. No matter how many times you say you're not interested your eyes scream another story. When you insult me I know you're just trying to compensate for something new you like about. You know how I know?"
I shake my head not moving from our intimate position. My heart swooning with each word.

"Because I feel it too every time I look at you, see you happy,sad ,confused I feel our connection and though I know we may not be soulmates. The least we can do is explore." He needn't say anything else. He doesn't even need to lean forward as I do it first and smash my lips against his.
Never in my life has anyone ever broken my heart by how sweet they were being.

"No."
"No." I repeat pushing him away from me while trying to get my head and heart back in place and catching my breath.

"Why,why? Just answer that one simple question. We are both single and obviously like each other." He said giving me suggestive eyebrows and kissing me again.

I pushed him away.
"Come on my friends  are probably waiting for me." I said jogging to where my friends had been. He sighed ran a hand through his hair and quickly followed after me.

"I guess not." He said as we approached the space we had left them at. They were gone all of them and no trace of anything. I smiled and got ready to text Joe when my phone was grabbed out of my hands. The panic on my face was evident. I had a few messages from our group not sure what they said and anyone reading them could be disastrous.

I looked up to see Calvin a smirk on his face and my phone in his hand. "Give it back right now!" I growled angrily. "Sure." He answered nonchalantly and held the phone out to me. I grabbed at it and he pulled it away and put it above his head. I knew then I had no hope he wasn't tall but he was taller than me. "What do you want?" "Just answer my previous question... why?" I rolled my eyes. "Can't you just take no for an answer." He shook his head. "What have I been through that im still dealing with Calvin?" "What?" Was his confused reply.
"You said and I quote your exact words were 'You've been through so much hell and are still facing hell that its the least you deserve'. So? Calvin tell me what have I been through?"
He suddenly got flustered and started fumbling with things around him. He avoided my eyes completely. Handed me my phone and finally spoke. "We need to get you home, your parents probably want an update on the situation.
"And please enlighten me.What is the situation?"

He glared at me knowing I was fishing for answers. What my father told me had just been the summary of what happened and I needed  to know more.
"Lets go!" He said more urgently this time.
"No." I said my stance the epitome of defiance.
He ran up to me grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder. I hated him and this in that very moment but I wasn't going to stand for this. I took a deep breath and let out a loud scream. He jerked at the sound of my high pitched scream that was probably right in his ear. "Shit." He said clamping his right hand over his right ear. But he didn't loosen his left hand and I continued being stuck. I kept screaming but he got used to it and kept walking. Unfortunately for him I was beginning to draw a crowd."HEEEEEEELP THIS MAN IS TRYING TO KIDNAP ME. AAAAAAAAAH." By now two guys where blocking his path. "Put her down man." He rolled his eyes. He tried backing up but was blocked by more people.
"Oh come on guys.... she's just being a drama queen. I'm her bodyguard." He said trying not to look guilty. I continued kicking at him. One of the guys looked skeptical and said. "Well it doesn't look like you're protecting her so please put her down." He shrugged and practically threw me on the floor painfully he then stalked away angrily. I hugged the guy who did all the talking. "Thanks. I don't know what could've happened." I said in a relieved voice I then kissed him on the cheek and walked away. I started jogging before Calvin could come I ran to the girls bathroom opened my messages and began to read them.

Joe: please just hear Jen out ok.
Joe: I know this is scary shit but just don't tell your by
Joe: ditch him and come to my house
Joe: please its not at all what it looks like
Jennifer: please don't tell on me I didn't kill her we are all at Joe's pleeeeease

I was about to text them a reply when my phone rang it was Jessica.
I picked it up immediately.
"Jesus girl you've been driving us crazy. Cell home are meant to be used. God!"
"Calm down Jess I got rid of the bodyguard and I'm on my way to Joe's now. I'll be there in 10 with that I ended the call and didn't wait for a reply I ran across the school to my car but then thought better of it and started my to Joe's house making sure not to be seen.

Suddenly a hand covered my mouth. My heart jumped...
