The Tables Have Turned

Chapter 31: Alien Feeling

Lester's POV

That stupid straight haired asian. He's really pissing me off.

What did he fucking do?

He constantly do things to Eliah.

She blushes which is weird because she never do that and because she's anemic! How on earth did that happen?!

And the worst was... She's keeping secrets from me which she never do. We grew up together since we're 6. The moment I went back from province and saw her, I knew there was something.

And I thought that maybe it was because I didn't return for Uncle's death anniversary. My fucking phone was doing shits and was actually broken I had to buy a new one but I couldn't because I don't have money and provinces don't sell Samsung. So I borrowed a phone and insert my sim card and called her. I know her voice, I know she was dissapointed but she can easily forgive. I know I was forgiven but she can't easily forget and then later on she would blame herself. And I don't want that to happen. I promise to myself that I will protect her at any cost but she even hates the idea. Its like she program herself to self loath.

But then that night I saw him and I noticed something was off about him. The way he smiled to Eliah. The way he looked at her, its like he's been with her longer than me. In some point he looks like Uncle. I thought he was my karma. And now, he is.

I promised Uncle to protect Eliah from any pain.

She's been hanging out with that Kishimoto. She never hangout with anyone other than me before.

I don't know why I don't trust that Kishimoto. I just don't. But somehow, he made Eliah, smile.

It was hard to admit. Knowing that there are other people who can make her smile. I was used to with just the two of us, through the best and worst time.

And now, Eliah's on her selfloathing again. And she always hangout with that Kishimoto before class, so he's the only one who's responsible.

I knew it was a bad idea, letting him close to her.

I thought, maybe its time for her to just let go and have someone new, because I know hanging out with me would bring some memories. Some unwanted memory, I might add. And hanging out with me all the time, is not helping her at all.

And now, I see it. She improved. Without me but with someone.

Because of someone.

I was the one bringing her down. I was the one keeping her at the bottom not able to move on from everything.

She likes him.

Shit. I don't like it.

Now that she's improving, you're going to bring her down again.

He likes her.

Its fucking obvious. But I just don't trust the guy.

The bell rang indicating the end of 1st period.

This has to end.

I stood up startling Eliah as I do so.

“In a rush?” she asked dryly.

“No. You're just too slow”

“If you need to pee just go pee, no ones stopping you.”

“I know” and I started to walk out the room. But then something stopped me.

I can't leave her.

I went back and without a word, I lift her up and hung her on my shoulders. 
Hahaha... She's still processing..
