Being Enthralling

22. Says WHAT?

"I'm here because you might be in danger Diana."

It took me a few minutes to register the words that he said. I blinked a couple of times not knowing what to say. The first thing I understand is that I might be in 'Danger' okay. And the second, which triggered me is, He is here because I might be in 'Danger'. In my place any normal person would have asked him that what does he mean by that. But since it's me, so I did something stupid.

No, I didn't run.

"Person standing in front of me, with brown hazel eyes and chestnut hair, 6'2 ft tall, who leaves me alone every damn time after having some heart to heart conversation, not to forget giving a hope that I might not suffer the loneliness anymore says WHAT?" At the end of my ranting I was panting.

I can see that Blake was in dilemma, whether to laugh or feel guilty.

After a few minutes I see there was a faint smile on his face so I raised my right brow, he quickly covered it up with a cough and cleared his throat, keeping a straight face he said, "Watching Hannah Montana lately?"

"Well, I used to watch you from my window until to decide to ignore me and-"

Oh no.

"I beg your pardon?"

Dammit! Why do I have to be so stupid around him?!

In order to distract him from that topic, I started screaming.

"Why the fuck would I be in danger BLAKE?"

He was startled by the sudden change in my tone. But then he exploded,

"Because Derek Fucking Anderson is planning to ruin YOU! And I've no fucking idea how!"

My breath caught in my lungs. Because one thing that I've learned about Blake is he will never say anything like this unless it's true.

"What do you mean?" I muttered.

"He's planning something against you Aana. Which has some consequences either you can get expelled considering the fact that his father is one the trustees or if he will use his own evil way, then you can land up in hospital again or in jail again or worst he can make you experience all of it."

"Mark my words bitch I'll make you pay."

Shiver ran down my spine when I remember Derek's threat.

"How do you know about this?" I ask him.

Not making eye contact he said,
"I've my sources."

What a jerk. I really don't like this kind of reply why can't he just answer to what I ask?

These boys are so frustrating. Even Scott is getting on my nerves this whole day he did nothing but still it irritated me-

Oh my God.

Scott.

"This explains Scott's sudden interest in me!" I kind of shouted again.

"For the sake of Lord stop shouting." Blake barks at me.

Then he continued, "What is it with Scott?"

"Till 4 years Scott didn't try to reach me. Then why now Blake?"

His eyes widened in shock when he realized what I'm trying to say. "You think Scott is working with Derek?"

I nodded.

"Why? It's not like he did any harm to you."

"The only chance he got to do any harm was today but you showed up which explains his hostile behavior."

There was an uncertain look on his face, which clearly says that he's not buying it. "How can you be so sure?"

Should I tell him how I fell for Scott's lies again? Should I prove him how much stupid and naive still I am? Will it make me more doltish?

"Why you guys are showing sudden interest in me? It's not like I've offered to have sex or something."

He clenched his jaw tight, and I hear him muttering some curses under his breath. It is obvious that he's offended and displeased by my question. So I decided to make the bad situation worse, "What cat caught your tongue? Or is April not giving you enough satisfaction?"

I don't why I said it, but I guess I was in a mood to act like an asshole.

"If I wanted to, then I would have done it years ago when you were crying for your sorry ass because you got dumped by your boyfriend. Whom you dated only for what? 20 days? You never loved him you were just sad because HE dumped you and not the other way around. Your ego was crushed and you were mopping on that. I'm here because I have seen what you've been through! So forgive me if I want to help you."

Thrown off I cleared my throat and averted my gaze.

"Why you want to help?" I barely whispered.

"Because I want to."

I looked up and his eyes pierced through mine. There was a genuine look on his face, which made feel a little guilty.

"Last time I talked to you for one hour and you ignored me for one month why should I count on you?"

He stood motionless gawking at me, as if he himself was not sure of what to say.

"I'm not going anywhere this time Anna."

I saw something in his eyes. Which made me remember why I was mad at him in the first place.

Loneliness.

I remembered him sitting in dark lonely. He's hiding something. It's like he's suffering and he doesn't want any help.

Everyone has got a life that nobody knows about, maybe this is an opportunity to find out what Blake is hiding or doesn't want to share about.

He's is someone who has always supported me in my ups and downs. When I was in misery he was there for me like an anchor.

It's time for me to be his now.

"Hey man." A voice spoke behind me so I turned around to see who it was.

It's weird. I feel like I've seen him somewhere but where I've no idea.

"Hey Andrew." Blake greeted him.

Andrew's eye met mine. Slowly a smile crossed his face. He extended his hand to me, "Hey, I'm Andrew."

I shook his hand, "I'm D-"

"I know" he cut me off. "Everyone knows you." There was a grin on his face.

I couldn't help myself but ask "Have we met before?"

Cockily he said,"No, but I assume you must have heard about me."

What a turn off.

I gave him a tight smile. Then he said something which I wished I never got to hear.

"I'm April's brother."

And now my friends, yes, I did run.

"Itwasnicetomeetyoubyebyeblake"

Like a bullet train I took off.
