Black Rose (completed)

chapter thirty seven

Sarah's POV

I hid in the library missing all my classes and only returned when it was just a period left. I walked into class and sat on my seat not minding the looks some of my classmates were giving me.
I noticed Micah and Jason were not in class and Rita had this sore look on her face, but before she could talk to me the female head prefect who was in B class walked into our class and called me
" Sarah Jones we've been looking for you, there's a situation in the clinic and the male prefect is absent in school "

" I am sorry I was in the library " I apologized

" you have to come with me now " she said walking out and I followed her.

" Sarah! I turned and saw Rita coming after me, I waited for her to catch up with me.

" look Rita we'll talk later ok, I'm needed in the clinic now " I said but she shook her head.

" this is not about what happened in the cafeteria, it's Steven! He collapsed or something, that was why they were looking for you "

" what!
I said and hurried towards the clinic with Rita on my heel.
When we got there, I met Micah and J-bee by the door.

" what happened? I asked

" he fainted " J-bee said.
" but they took him home, Jason went with him. They just left.

" was he sick? I asked

" yea sort of, I don't really know "

" I noticed he was quiet today " Rita said.

" let me go in " I said and went in, I went straight to the nurse's office.

" good afternoon sir " I greeted as I entered the office.

" afternoon miss Jones, I sent for you "

" yes sir, that's why am here "

" there was an incident I need you to write a report to the principal "

" ok sir "

He told me steven had fainted in class and he had to order that he be taken home immediately in the school ambulance for further treatment.

" was it that serious that he had to be taken home immediately? I asked, I was so worried.

" I believe he will have better treatment at home, you have to write and report why he is absent in school "

I was surprised, Steven didn't look that bad this morning. Why didn't he tell us he was sick.
" can I see his clinic book please? I asked.

" he's a new student, there isn't much written there "

" I have to write what his problem is, why he fainted "

" he has a fever "

I felt like the nurse was hiding something from me, why won't he let me see his clinic book.

" ok sir " I said and went out. I met Rita and the guys outside. " how did it happen? I asked them.

" Michael is the one who can answer that since they were together when it happened " J-bee said

" where were you? Rita asked him

" I was not in class, I went out " he answered.

" he just fell down and we had to carry him here, when we got here the nurse immediately called the ambulance. He looked so pale, he was sweating and it seems he was having trouble breathing, he was clutching his chest " Michael explained. " I had to sent for Jason and Micah immediately.

" I hope he gets better " Rita said

" yea " I said.
And I meant it

Stevens POV

I sat in class trying to get what the teacher was saying, I tried to focus on the construction but I couldn't keep my mind off what happened earlier. Sarah had admitted it out loud that she still has feelings for Sam. I didn't expect that, I never did, I knew she loved him so much but I thought she was over him. I didn't know he could waltz his way back into her life whenever he wanted.

When she said that at the cafeteria Micah had slammed his fist on the table swearing. " I'll kill that bastard"

" he'll never hurt her again, I'll make sure of that " J-bee added.

" no no no he won't even get the chance of been with her again, " Michael said. " he destroyed her, he cheated, made her do things, we watched as he turn our sister into someone else. No! It won't happen again never!!!

" that rascal just keeps taking advantage of her " Micah spated out. And I know it was true. Sam was no good for Sarah.

I plan to stay away from Sarah but her been with Sam made it even more hard for me to bear.
I never should have cared for her, I never should have let her in.
I prayed the class would end, I wish I could just go home because I was in no mood for class.
I later realized the voice of the teacher was fading away, I yanked myself back to consciousness and sat upright.
20 minutes later I noticed I was sweating, I coughed twice and brought out my handkerchief to wipe my face, but it didn't help much. I felt my head pounding and my heart started racing. Oh no! I thought Not again!
I tried to control my breathing, like I've been taught to, but it was not working. I closed my eyes and all I could see was her face, I opened my eyes and opened my locker, I went through my things looking for the aspirin I usually kept with me. I panicked when I couldn't find it, oh no no no no! Where did I keep it?  they next thing I knew was I heard ruffling of chairs, I was gasping for air and my chest was on fire. All I know was I could hear voices around me, and some were screaming my name, I could think of only one person who could help me so I struggle to get the name out of my lips.
Jason! I screamed.
