***************************************************************************************

Olivia's POV

I drive as fast as I can. I can still feel the fear in Jay's voice. I go home and run to my mom and hug her.

"Hey sweetie, what happened!?" She leads me to the dinning table.

I try hard to speak as I cry onto her shoulder. After a few minutes I get my voice back.  I look up to she her concerned face filled with worry,mostly fear.

"Now tell me what happened" she says.

"It..it's Cam. H..he lied. H..he's Jayson's step brother. I guess he's going to hurt him" I burst out, tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Oli.. I need you to relax, breathe and explain what happened properly."

I take in a deep breath and tell her everything. She is dumbstruck. I don't realize I have made her speechless.

"Mom! "I call her.

"That's too much to take in. That boy had a troubled childhood. Goes around playing with people's lives. That's not good. His parents should  help him with his breakdown. He can go to extreme levels. Even killing, like what he did to you.." she stopped.

"It's okay, we'll be fine. You are going to be fine. You are going to stay strong. Now that we are here. I won't let anything happen to you" she hugs me. I go to sleep but the thought of Cam hurting Jay keeps me from doing it. I twist and turn and don't realize when I finally manage to fall into a deep slumber sleep.

Next day I drive to school. Jay did not bother to talk to me. This made me feel lost, vulnerable, totally not safe, don't know why. We go to the cafeteria. I sit there with my friends and tell them what happened.

"I don't know what to say" Beth says with her eyes wide open, if they grow any more wider, they surely will pop out.

"Hey guys" the voice is damn loud. I turn around to see Brody , Noah and behind them I can see Jay drowning himself into his phone.

"What do you want Brody" Leo glares at Brody.

"Rude much, anyways can we sit with you guys for lunch" he questions.

"No.." Harry and Leo shout but I cut them off "Sure," atleast I will have a chance to, talk to Jay.

He sits opposite to me. Brody and Noah sit beside me.

"Hey you are the girl that slapped Jay yesterday, girl that was damn cool" Brody laughs.

"Seriously Brody? And the girl has a name. It's Olivia" I turn to see Jay glaring at Brody.

"You don't look like an Indian. Heard you flew in from India."

"No no I'm not. Born in England. Dad usually gets transferred to places, and we move around with him.This time he got transferred here. Donno how long we are gonna stay."I try taking a quick glance at Jay, he is still on his phone.

"Ohh, that's why you have that English accent. It cute actually" I can feel Jay passing killer looks at Noah as he winks at me. If looks can kill, then we are definitely gonna burn to ashes with Jays looks now.

"So you the Nomad kind. Just keep moving, Just keep moving.." Brody starts to sing.

"What?...." I laugh at Brody's comment.

We finish our lunch and walk to the class. I move to my seat and find Jasmine sitting there.

"Jasmine, uh.. that's my place." I say.

"I thought we switched places." She tries to ignore me.

"That is only for a month. Now it's fine." I say.

"You think I'll go around wagging my tail and do whatever you ask me to do. Please do yourself a favor by moving your stupid face away from me." She shouts .

I turn away but warm hands grab hold of my wrist. I turn to see Jay's blue eyes glaring at Jass.

" Get out of her seat Jass, or I'll make you leave and you won't like it. Trust me" he says in a rigid voice.

"What the hell, Jay. You threatening me for her. This.. this girl who's nothing... A nobody."

"She means something to me, unlike you. She means something special to me. So leave,now" he raises his voice.

Wait, what. What does he mean.I mean something to him. Do I!?Some part of me suddenly  wished that's true. I am special to him now am I. He.. did he just tell that, didn't he. Do I actually mean something to him. Or is it me dreaming. What is it with this boy. His words are like riddles. I end up with only confusions and more unanswered questions.
