Black Rose (completed)

chapter fourty two

Steven's POV

When we got in my eyes went all around then it landed on her, She stood there looking like a goddess and my heart went out to her.
We walked to where they were and when our eyes met she looked away.
We haven't met since the last day of exams and haven't spoken to each other either. I had been avoiding her, even when I got back to school I stopped eating at the cafeteria and leave immediately after my exams. But still I couldn't stop myself from thinking of her, even when she confronted me I couldn't help but think of how cute she looked.
I heard the rumors about her been close to Sam lately and it hurt me that she still has feelings for him.
On the other hand Michael had pressured me into confessing to them about my heart condition, and I ended up telling them about everything. They took it better than I expected and were glad I shared my secret with them, I plead with them not to tell anyone especially Sarah and Rita.
" is it because you have feelings for her? Michael had asked.

" my feelings for her doesn't matter now that she's still in love with her ex "  I said and I wished I could get her out of my head.

I completely lost it when I saw her talking to Sam later on. He said something and she laughed, I was mad that he could still make her laugh, he somehow seem to have control over her and I hated it. I hated the fact that she still loves him and might get back together with him.
When he drew her to the dance floor I could not take it any longer so I walked out and headed straight to my car, I got in and laid  back on the seat. I was really mad,I felt the pain in my throat, I closed my eyes and memories of Diana flooded into my mind. Memories I thought I lost when I met Sarah. I was in deep thought when I heard someone opened the door and got in, it was Jason.

" hey Steve you ok?

" yes I'm good " I answered.

" you left the party and you're sitting alone in the car, I didn't even see you leave "

" it's Sarah " I said slowly

" I thought as much "

" she was with Sam and then they we're dancing and I.............I just needed some air "

" I thought you could handle this. But if you can't handle her dancing with Sam, how are you planning on doing that next term, if they get back together "

I placed my hand on the steering wheel and clutched it tightly. " that's why I don't think I'll be coming back next term. I've been thinking "

" really? You want us to leave? He asked turning to look at me.

" No not we, me "

" you know I can't stay in Excellence without you "

" you'll have the twins and J-bee"

" No! "

" Jjay you can't keep going around changing schools with me any time I make a mistake. I don't want you stuck with me "

" you were stuck with me when I couldn't handle my mum's death and we had to be home schooled for almost a year. "

" oh Jjay " I breathed

" save it Steven, you can't convince me to stay, so I guess we should start preparing "

" we could move into another school "

" second term of senior year??

" what then?

" I think we should stay home, register for waec and go for external lessons or hire a lesson teacher "

" home schooled?

" yea we did great back then "

I laughed. " but this time classes  at my house "

" but I get to pick the teacher " he agreed smiling

" what would I do with you Jason"

" nothing. Without me you will probably won't last a week "

" oh I see " I shrugged
