In Trouble [hiatus]

Chapter 16 // I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kissed you.

Did you think that I would confront Izek with what I saw from the window in my art class? Well damn right you are because I will. wasn'tnd exactly right now.

"Why did you lie to me, Izek?" I growled angrily, spitting my words with fury at him. Izek just looked taken aback, school got over hours ago and I texted him immediately demanded us to meet up for doing our assignment, when I actually used the assignment just as an excuse to talk to him alone other than a place from school.

We were currently at his house, yes I'm back again in his lovely and gorgeous abode, wait I'm supposed to be mad at him. "What do you mean?" He asks, furrowing his eyebrows, confusion clearly evident in his eyes and words.

I roll my eyes and rub my face with my palms in annoyance, "Don't act stupid with me, Izek. I saw you, outside school."

Suddenly his face lost all colour, his previous confused expression changed into an expression combined of both shock and guilt. He opened his mouth to say something but no words came out, I shoot him a glare and he somehow regained his voice, "I-I..Ho-how did you find out?" His voice came out, barely a whisper as though he was afraid that someone would overhear us.

"You know, if you didn't notice I have eyes." I point to my eyes and he visibly gulps down in fear. Aww. NO, you're mad at him so stop cooing over his never ending adorableness.

"You think I wouldn't find out if you lied about Valentine to me? Why did you tell me that she was sick? I saw her outside with you and some guy...." I admit, confused and a teeny bit hurt because he lied to me. I hate when people lie and when Izek did, I can't help but feel a bit hurt even though its something really small and I'm making a big deal of it.

Izek let out a breath as though he was holding it for a long time. Wait why? "I'm sorry..I really am." I apologizes with guilt lacing his tone. "It's just that...um.." He pauses, "She didn't want anyone to know...um...she's going for therapy sessions."

My eyes widen in surprise, "What? Therapy? What for!?" Is she okay?

"You know..my grandfather passed away recently. Val was really close with him, I would even say that she was more closer with grandad more than dad." He let out a small chuckle, a weak smile came onto his lips as though remembering the memories of his grandfather. I slowly nod for him to continue, "Well, after his death she's been not herself. She's been distant from everyone. His death affected her the most in our family...I am more closer to my grandma. So grandma itself suggested that she should try seeing a therapist to bring back her old jolly side back." He runs his fingers through his hair, "And it kind of is working right now. She had a session this morning and which clashed with our school time. Mom said that her health was more important than her education, and sent her to see the therapist and which in turn ends up in her skipping school and I have to make up an excuse to tell everyone of my sister's absence because she doesn't want to tell anyone that she sees a therapist. "

I was speechless, I just blink my eyes several times repeatedly.

Blink.

Blink. Blink.

I finally find my voice again, "Gosh Izek! I'm really sorry." I face palm myself. "I shouldn't have...you shouldn't have..ugh." I groan, frustration getting to me. "I feel bad now. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have poked my stupid nose into your business." I ramble on.

I feel his huge arms squeeze my shoulders reassuringly, "Hey! HEY!" He whispers quietly, and I snap my attention towards him, "Don't apologize, you didn't know. I should've told you though." He admits. I nod at him, "But she has nothing to be embarrassed of you know... There's nothing wrong in seeing a therapist. Is it alright if I tell her that I know of it?"
