Last Night:An EarnPete Fanfic

40. Call a Friend

Earn

I was on my way to the university via cab when I anxiously went through my phone for another number to call after I talked to Pete.

I heaved an annoyed sigh.

I woke up excitedly only to be faced with my phone full of messages and pictures of Pete and I being littered around the university. Worst of all, my boyfriend went and faced the battle without me. Confident jerk that he is!

This was what Pete had been blabbering about when he was still adamant to turn me down. He specifically said something about not wanting to leave his job because of me. But then, he was in the verge of losing it, because of me, as predicted.

I cuss inwardly. I felt stupid and guilty and angry---specially angry to whoever did that shameles thing! Seriously? What could he or she get out of it!?!

It's not like I'd get kicked out. Or if I did, I could always transfer school or just drop university all together and work for my dad or pursue film making, just like what I always wanted to do.

As for Pete, he could always look for another job easily, given how brilliant he was. Or I could just provide for him---it will be a long debate though but it's plausible. This scandal wasn't really worth it if I were to judge.

I tried to think of people I might have crossed and do this stuff to spite me but there's no one in particular in mind as of the moment. Since I transferred school, I went out less than  I usually do. Much more less to non when I started pursuing Pete.

When we finally dated officially, I either stayed at his place and annoyed him or we went out and traveled together. That was why I wasn't really convinced that this was because I had anger some people. Besides, I started to learn to manage my temper when I met Pete.

Pete on the other hand, why would somebody ever do this to him? Pete only knew how to mind his own business and he never ever crossed people. He might had been a difficult professor but it wasn't enough reason for a student to spite him this way. Besides, his students were way too busy with academics already to be able to plot this nonsense.

As for Pete's only ex, he told me they're good already and that Trek also had someone new. But maybe I could have him checked out, just in case.

Ugh! This is annoying!

My call finally went through after few rings.

"P'Jing!"

I greeted my father's secretary.

"Nong Earn, good morning! You're dad's in a meeting as of the moment. He won't be out until lunchtime."

I checked my watch. More or less, it would be 3 hours until I get a hold of him. I can't wait that long. Who knows what the board was doing and telling Pete as of the moment?

"Can you get me to him, please P'Jing! This one's really important."

I never once called my father or even asked for his help in the past. It was always the school who called him everytime I was in trouble, but this one was different. I needed my father now, more than ever.

"I'll see what I can do, Nong Earn. Just keep your line open for when I call back, okay?"

I sighed again. I guessed it was better than nothing.

"Okay, thanks, P!"

I put my phone inside my pocket but not before I put my ring volume on maximum level, I can't afford to miss my dad's call back.

Right then, I just needed to wait. While at it, I needed to go and accompany my boyfriend.

I was confident he can take care of himself, but I also wanted to be there for him. He should know that he had me---someone he can  count on.

Always.
