What Love is About (Make It Pop)

Chapter 47

Jodi

When we headed back to our dorms it was already 8am and everyone was staring at me for some reason.

"What's happening?" Alex asked, not really sure if the look on each of the students faces were judging us because we stayed up late or something else...

"Whore" I heard a whisper behind me but looking at all the students piled in and trying to hurry to get out our way I couldn't tell who it was.

"Jodi!" Sun hi ran down the halls with Corki right by her tail. Alex was already smiling, not even bothering to notice the look on their faces.

No word was said as they both reached out for my arms and ran me back to our dorm, to which Darmala and Alex both followed.

"What the fudgeball is wrong with everyone today?" I say as the doors behind us closed "Did I miss anything?"

"Did we miss anything?" Darmala corrects. Okay De ja vu, this happens with Sun hi all the time. I dont like the attention, how does she evn cope with this?

"Um... No."

"Are you kidding me?!" Comes in Caleb with a big boom in his voice with Heather smirking behind him and Valerie wimping behind her. What is wrong with everyone?

"You're gonna raise the child on your own and you don't even have the guts to tell me?!"

"Caleb... Wait... -" I look over to his side, Heather was smirking. This is what she wanted, this is the exact reason why she came back. This was the feeling I got when we saw her again, she wanted revenge when we humiliated her and I got Caleb.

"If you don't even want me then I won't be there" He pulled the handle of the door "See you on Graduation, that's that last you'll see me" then they left.

I broke down and Darmala caught me, holding me in his arms and stroking my hair.

"Jodi... I'm sorry. I didn't know" I looked up to see Valerie crouching down to where I was held. Darmala transferred me to her arms and I let him.

"It's.... I..." My mind wasn't working properly. Why was she hugging me and why aren't I pulling away?

"Jodes" Alex and the girls pulled me in a tight hug and I heard the door close. We sat there for a while and did our make up together while Alex went back to his dorm. There was no use in crying now... the damage has been done. I'll just get ready and I'll never see him again.

Caleb

When heather showed everyone the video of Jodi talking about me like I was irresponsible it made me feel guilty because what she said was true. I have been distant to her but I didn't know she wanted to raise the child on her own. I can't let her do that.

And instead of an apology I gave her a good scream. What am I even thinking? I love her and yet here I am, in my room with Heather kissing me and me trying to kiss back.

"Davis!" Darmala burst in, angry with me, obviously. I saw it coming... He told me not to hurt her or he's coming for me and here he is. Right on cue.

Heather stopped kissing me, but she didn't look embarrassed or guilty. She looked as confident as ever.

"Get out of here heather. This is a man to man talk"

"He's my man now Darmala" she smirks "Don't think I came all this way for nothing! I finally got what I want and I won't wait any longer!"

"You blackmailed a pregnant girl for him?! Aren't you embarrassed of yourself?"

"No! Why should I?! She isn't even important to him!" That stung me. Is that what she thought? That I don't care about Jodi? Darmala looked at me to see if I was telling the truth but my eyes dodged his.

"Heather!" Ms. Diona called from outside the door. "You have done this school a great embarrassment. For that, your volunteer hours will not be accepted and I make sure your professor will know of this"

"No! No! This... I..." her tears were over flowing but I wasn't complaining, it was right that she would receive that punishment after all she hirt Jodi.... wait why do I even care?

Ms. Diona and Corki's security team took her away, there was no doubt on who told on Heather.

After the commotion in my room Darmala went back to me, his voice softening, his eyes desperate "You... Don't think she's important anymore?"

There was no words that came out of my mouth and kept it that way letting Darmala do all the talking I cant do. "She loves you so much... that she's  willing to raise the child on her own.. just to give you your freedom!" his last words held venom in them like he despised and was disgusted by the thought, that I don't deserve it.

"Freedom that you clearly don't deserve!" When I didn't talk his eyes flowed with angry tears. It was hard for him to give Jodi up to me but he chose to step down because he loves her. But I love her too, why can't I show that now? What's wrong with me?

"I'm sorry" The words finally came out but he quickly replied before I could talk again "I know you love her. You're just confused but I need you to realize that before the end of graduation or she'll leave you and I won't let her raise that child alone" He left with that.
