A Love Worth Waiting For: Chapter 39- Answers

That statement made me stop on my current moment. I could feel the grip of Marco on my hand increase. I could see him gritting his teeth. He may not show it, but I could see it forming on his mouth.

"Chloe, let's go!" Marco then started dragging me away. But I, carefully slid my hand away from his earning his attention. I turned my body to her direction.

"Pardon?"

"I'll give you the answers. On why we started ignoring you." She turned her head to the side ignoring my gaze.

"Chloe, I think it's best if we just go." He grabbed my hand but I quickly pulled my hand away.

"Why? Why can't you just let me know the answers!"

"Chloe, stay calm. Remember what nurse said!"

I took a deep breath and started calming down. I looked at him again.

"Why are you refraining me from knowing? Are you hiding something?"

"Chloe, I just don't want you to get hurt. The answers, that-that brunette will tell you might hurt you. I'm just here to protect you."

"I really appreciate it, and I know your just protecting me. But I can take care of myself. But I need those answers."

"Then, I respect your wishes. I will go with you to talk to this friend of yours." He sighed.

"Thank you." I thanked as I pulled him to the brunette girl.

It was dismissal anyway, so we stayed on the rooftop.

"I'm ready to talk. At least, it would lift up the guilt from my shoulders. Ask me whatever you desire to know." Kathy stated as she took out her notebook and a pen.

"First of all, why did you ignore me?"

"It was all Kyle's idea. He said to refrain or not talk to you at all. We tried to reason with him cause we know it would break your heart, but he insisted. After we finally agreed, he pulled you away from us. Later we know it, he never came to us again after that. All he did was, ignore or hang out with Claire."

So, he wasn't just ignoring me. He was ignoring the whole group. He insisted to let the group ignore me on purpose. Does he hate me so much, to make him do all those things to me?! Am I really that hard to like?!

The sensation in my chest started to appear. It hurts, literally. I could feel the tears forming in my eyes. I could see Marco glancing at me. I don't want him to see me like this so I avoided his glance, by looking at the side. Letting my tears fall, which I quickly wipe away.

"Here's another question, when I first introduced Kyle and Nathan, how come they we're friends so fast?"

"Well, from the story of Nathan. They already knew each other since they were kids. Who knew the world is so small." She chuckled.

"Nathan, came from the states as well. He also knew, Kyle. Though, they once got separated one summer, when Kyle was visiting you. Just, one last time."

"The summer when we got separated...."

"Correct. Nathan was getting his plane ticket to go here when Kyle was getting a plane ticket to go back home."

"Last question, what do you know about Claire?"

"That's a hard one. Claire is also a mystery to all of us but Nathan and Kira. Claire may be a bully but there's something more to her. I know Kyle, he doesn't go with influential and naughty girls. So she's more to what meets the eye."
