Beautiful Imperfections

FOURTY SIX

It's been a week since everything happened. I told mum and dad that I'm prepared to continue with my academic work. You know, resume school. Everything that has happened to me has only made me realize that I'm stronger than I ever thought. Forgetting about Trevor was really hard but I just had to. I mean I hadn't totally forgotten about him but, I wasn't crying and sulking anymore. I didn't even care about boys anymore like I was earlier. Not like I hated them, puff, no. I just didn't have all my attention on that. When people say 'you only know until you've tried it' is a very good statement.

I wanted that attention from boys when I never had it. Now that I've had a taste of it, even as it wasn't a good experience for me, I'm just normal about everything. Like I said it's least of my worries.

What I was worried about was how I won't get to stay with Janie anymore. Now that my parents know the full story. My mom had ensured that all my luggage was packed out of Janie's when I was in coma. My driver, Buster, had resumed back. He would be dropping me off at school and be keeping an eye on me.

The security was too much. My parents love me and they're worried so what can I do? The bad guys, Ahneeka and murderer, were all gone so why all of this security? They never thought of that I guess.

Plus, they were really proud of me when they heard how I survived through all of those situations. I'm a badass. I know. Lol.

I got to school early so, I won't be in any trouble. A lot of people were just staring at me. They were staring to the extent that their eyes began to burn my skin. I hurriedly got into my class and sat down beside Janie.

"Hey." She said to me with a smile and added. "I miss you at my house."

"At least I'm free from seeing you and kelvin having sex."

She laughed hard. "You would have joined us."

"That's definitely not my thing." I said with a laugh.

She got more serious and held my hand. "They are really gawking."

I heaved. "I know right. I've never had so much attention in my whole life."

"Is it bothering you?"

"It's kind of uncomfortable."

She nodded and stood up raising her voice. "Hey! All of ya! Why don't you mind your business and stop staring like she has cancer and she's about to die! If you have anything to tell her, walk up to her and tell her. Don't be staring like lost souls. And don't meet her when I'm with her cause I ain't hearing any bs you want to say. Have respect and meet her when she's alone!" She said and sat down back.

"I love your babe kelvin!" Someone said from the back and some people chuckled. I joined them too. At least, they stopped staring.

"Thanks." I said to her and she let out a smile again. " what are friends for?"

"Yeah right."

After lectures, I came out of the class laughing at a joke Janie was saying and then Collins pulled me aside.
"Hey?"

"Pearl I'm really sorry."

"What is it?"

"Uh, it's Trevor."

I rolled my eyes. "Do I look like I care?" I cared so bad that I wanted to know what's going on.

"Shit! He's lost himself. He's not himself anymore."

"It's not because of me. He doesn't want us seeing each other." I was saying the truth.

"No. You've got it all wrong. It's because of you. I don't want to call him a drunkard but I'll compare him to one. It's terrible and we're all trying to help. His mom is also concerned."

"This is bullshit."

"It's not. You need to talk to him."

"What? Now, I'm the one that has to meet him?"

"You've got to understand. At least do it for his family. You can follow me now and I'll take you to his family's house."

"No. I'm going no where with you." I said and his phone began to ring and he looked at it and turned the screen to my face. It was Trevor's mum. I remembered when I met them in their beautiful mansion and how nice they were all to me.

"Now will you follow me?" Collins asked and I looked away. Could I meet Trevor after trying so hard to forget about him and move on. What if he rejects me and remind me of what he told me at Janie's house. I shouldn't overthink this cause I love him. Damn. I'm really in love with him. He needs me. Collins made that obvious already and I need him too. I turned to Collins.

"Take me."

Collins was relieved. "Thanks."

I had to inform Janie and Buster so I texted them. Janie was with kelvin so she wasn't alone. Buster wanted to follow me to where I was going but I ignored him. He couldn't follow me.

When we reached, David and Brad were standing outside with some security guards. I got down from the car and both of them rushed up to me.
"Thank you so much for coming. After everything." Brad said and hugged me for a short while.

"He needs you." David said to me and pecked my forehead. I wasn't too surprised that David had decided to let me go.

Collins then asked. "Shall we?"

I nodded and we walked into the house. Tamara hugged me tight at sight and then thanked me for coming. "I know my brother is an ass."

I chuckled and I saw his parents. His mom was crying. I walked up to her and said.
"I am so sorry."

She held my hand tight. "Anything my son has done to you, I am so sorry on his behalf. Please I need you to just fix him. I've never seen him this way." She said crying hard.

"I'll try my best." I assured her and his father answered. "Thank you."

Everyone was making it seem like someone just died. I mean what possible state was he in that everyone was so sad and disturbed. Then, I heard a loud thump of things falling. Breaking of glasses and more.

"He has started breaking things again." Tamara said sadly. I was shocked. Now, I understand why they were all concerned.
