The sharp pain in my head woke me up. The pain was so severe that I had to gasp and tears welled in my eyes. I adjusted to familiar surroundings of the house and realised we were back from the summer house already.
It made me wonder for how long did I pass out? What happened?
As I sat up a sharp throb hit the back of my head and I felt blood gush to my nose something warm trickling down. My fingers immediately touched the blood dripping down my nose and I rushed to the bathroom to avoid any blood stains in the house.
When I came back and sat down with a spinning head I realised no one was home. There was food on the kitchen table with juice, some pill and water. Jeremy must have left. My whole body was numb with a tingling feeling like we have when we sit down in one position for a long time.
I felt nauseous and wanted to throw up but I was suddenly hit by a memory and I groaned in embarrassment. I had done something from which there was no going back, I kissed Jeremy and loved it. I was not supposed to be selfish and harm fewer people when I die but here I was kissing a guy who takes the loss very hard.
What have you done Maureen?
I needed to run away now as far as I can now before Jeremy takes some meaning of the kiss even though I knew that he would never choose someone like me but I can't take a chance. I had to leave and for that, I needed Jack's help.
For some reason, energy left my body on that thought and I felt sadness engulf my brain. A sob builds in my chest.
And I knew in that dreadful moment I came to a realisation, unfortunately, I have grown attached to the movie star.

My nerves were on super alert with Jeremy around and my mind replayed the kiss making it worse for me.
We were getting ready for the training session when he walked up to me and my heart rate multiplied by a thousand. I don't clearly know how his touch made me feel when I drunk but right now every touch made me gasp lightly and my heart jumped.
"Magenta." He said casually putting a wisp of hair behind my ear lobe and I gulped.
I was not accustomed to such gestures and it made my heart flutter.
"Yes," I said in a soft tone unintentionally.
"Are you fine now? I am not letting you drink so much again." He was not the cold broken Jeremy in that moment. His words were softer and caring.
The change should bother me but stupidly it made me happy.
Get your heart and head together Maureen.
We were fighting hand to hand again and today I was careful but he was comfortable. He blocked my hits and I was thrown on the matter too many times. I did land a punch on his upper arm but that was of no use since someone as light as me couldn't even make him wince.
