Lust Of Fortune

Chapter15

2 WEEKS LATER
Joelle POV
"Okay, lunch is served." I placed a plate in front of Jude.

Jude has been released from hospital just last week. He's had to move in with me and things are going pretty well. He's still got to get used to doing stuff independently because I'm always helping to feed him and stuff.

"Open up." I told him.

He opened his mouth then closed it and sighed.

"I ain't a baby, lemme do it on my own." He put his hand out.

"No Jude, your not able to do that and you know it too." I sighed also.

"I can do it, okay?" He looked at me.

I handed him the spoon, "If you mess your clothes up, your cleaning everything on your own.".

I stood up and went over to the kitchen sink and began cleaning up the dishes.

I heard the spoon and plate drop on the floor and I quickly turned around to see food all over Jude. He ran his hands down his face.

"I told you Jude but you don't like to listen! Now I gotta clean all this shit u-!" I got cut off.

He banged his hand on the table.

I froze. I heard his silent sobs as he sighed to himself. I slowly walked over as I dried my hands with a towel.

"I can't do nothing no mo'! I gotta getchu' to help me with shit that I can do independently." He said.

"The doctors did say that it's gonna take time for you to-.".

"The doctor said this, the doctor said that! I don't care about what the doctors fucking said! I don't wanna be on the wheelchair not doing anything! I don't want you feeding me! I just..I just wanna be normal." He broke down.

I put his arms around him and hugged him.

"Then he started crying about how he just wants to be normal again." I sighed as I took a sip of my water.

"Oh my gosh, I feel for him." Teyana sighed.

"But he still shouldn't have crashed into Jamal. He wouldn't be in this state, he would be 'normal'. I just don't understand why he's put himself into trouble." I sighed.

"Well, Jamal got what he deserved." She added.

I shook my head and giggled.

After eating at McDonald's, we headed back to class. Before walking into the classroom, I applied more lip gloss on my lips. They were feeling a little dry because of the coldness.

"Okay class, take out your textbooks and begin your work." Mr Chapman said.

"Yes baby, I'm coming home right now. I'm just buying some pasta and cheese." I spoke to Jude through the phone.

"Okay, hurry up though, I've missed you.".

After saying goodbye, I hung up.

I walked over to the dairy products and saw Zoe pushing Jamal on a wheelchair. I heard that he got let out before Jude and was struggling. He had broken his right arm but his legs weren't broken. He just couldn't walk because of the car being on top of it. He had a scar on his left cheek and a bruise on his forehead.

When he saw me, he just stared at me up and down. Literally, he wouldn't look away and it sorta creeping me out. I walked past the both of them and I heard Zoe smack her teeth.

"Could you not start please?" Jamal said.

"Why the fuck your defending her for?!" Zoe folded her arms.

"Listen, I don't need your help y'know. I can wheel myself back home for all I care." He said.

I grabbed the cheese and looked back at Jamal who gave me a little smile.

I rolled my eyes and walked off. He doesn't deserve a smile, well not from me.

LATER
As I was revising, an unknown number called me. I answered the phone.

"Hello?" I furrowed my brows.

"Joelle, you good?" I heard Jamal's voice.

"What the fu-?! How did yo' ass get my number?!" I shouted.

"I-." I hung up on his ass.

I just can't talk to him anymore!

He really does have the nerve to call me too. I threw my phone to the side and I heard Jude call for my name.
