Fresh & PJ NaJ

Problems

Hey everyone! I have a question, how would you feel about me calling my readers 'pups'? I don't know if other writers use that name, but oh well. Please comment if you like/dislike the name or if you want to suggest a name. Now lets begin the chapter.

(Pj PoV)

After PE my dad made me stay back to help clean the gym so we can chat. Once everyone left the gym room, including Fresh my father began to ask "So HoW iS fEsH dOiNg?" I sighed as I checked Fresh wasn't loitering nearby and said back "Honestly, I'm not sure. He has been acting tense all day, but he calmed down a bit in PE. I think he was still a bit worried the dream might be true." "Hmm" My father was thinking about something when he suddenly questioned "He hasn't mentioned who he saw in the dream has he? It's most likely them who caused it, but I think they specifically wanted to be seen by Fresh. And Fresh mentioned knowing them before, so who ever it is wanted Fresh scared. More importantly, this means at some point in the past Fresh has become enemies with someone extremely powerful." I was considering his words, it made me feel like Fresh was someone that maybe I couldn't trust anymore. He clearly didn't trust me or maybe he's just scared or upset. He did seem very sad when he mentioned the person from his past. I prefer that thought. I responded to my father "He never said who it was, but maybe he can't. Do you think he could come over, I don't like the idea of leaving him alone when someone powerful is trying to hurt him?" My father gave me a sympathetic look and responded "Sure." I thanked him while running to catch Fresh before he left.

I barged through the door to find a startled Fresh peering up at me concerned. He was already dressed and it looked like he was about to leave. He was fidgeting with his hands and seemed in a rush. He was about to say something when I spoke "D-do you wanna come over to my house today, or go to your house?" He looked down a bit upset but answered "I'm sorry I can't today." I was slightly curious and pressed further "Why?" He was looking very worried and stated "Erm, I have to go or I'll be late to something important."  He then quickly stepped around me and left. I was just staring dumbstruck at his hasty escape from me.

My thoughts were dancing around my head 'Where was he in a rush to get to? Or who was he gonna be late for? Why did he avoid my question?  Did he not want to talk to me? Was something wrong? Was he in danger? Could he be... cheating... on me?' The final thought hit me the worst, but I couldn't dismiss it either. He mentioned seeing someone from his past, but wouldn't tell us who. I've never even been to his house. He's never once mentioned anything about his family. I know almost nothing about him. Was I an idiot to ask him out before getting to know who he was?

I had no choice but to leave Pj and hurry up or I'd be late for work. I didn't want to but I had no choice and if I explained it so many problems would occur.

1. He would probably tell the teacher or someone and then I would be put in foster care

2. He might not believe me and leave me

3. He might trust my dad and send me back to him

4. Even if he left it all alone I would be late for work

5. I would probably get emotional about it and start crying

6. Kids might find out and bully me because of it

Overall, nothing good would come from telling him, but... why did I still feel like not explaining was a bad decision? I finally made it out of school, still absorbed in my thoughts as they slowly corroded my brain. I tried to push it away, but part of me felt guilty.

These thoughts were driving me crazy and I HAD to know the truth. I quietly watched him leave the room and then carefully followed behind him. As he stopped at his locker I sent a message quickly to dad.

Pj: I'm going out after school with some friends

Ink: Okay, be back by 9pm and have fun

Pj: Thanks, see you later

I looked back up to see Fresh had disappeared. "Shoot!" I whispered to myself as I kicked the trash bin over. Determined, I quickly ran outside school, where I caught a glance of a figure  turning round the corner. Hopeful, I chased it round the corner, ensuring a safe distance so they wouldn't see me or hear me. Fortunately, once I turned the corner I saw it was indeed Fresh. I was loosing patience and hurried to catch up with him. He didn't notice me behind him, so I grabbed his arm. He jumped and tried to pull away until he saw it was just me.

I was walking home like I usually did, but I couldn't shake the feeling someone was behind me. Whenever I looked behind I couldn't see anyone so I tried to push the feeling away. I just had to get home quickly. I was walking along when suddenly I felt someone grab my arm. Instinctively, I tried to pry their arm off of me, but froze when I saw it was... Pj. I was really confused and just stared at him. Millions of thoughts roamed my head 'Why is he here? Was he following me? If he was why? What was he going to do? Should I say something? Would-' My thoughts were cut of as Pj slowly spoke "Erm... sorry for scaring you" "Oh, It's okay" I cut in reassuring him. He continued "Well, I wanted to talk to you. I don't know how to word this... A-are y-you cheating o-on m-me?" I looked into his eyes and saw tears flooding his eyes.

Shocked, I pulled him into a hug and nestled into his chest, breathing in his scent. He was crying as I quietly told him "No. I wouldn't, I couldn't EVER do that to you." He looked a bit hesitant so I continued "God, you're an Idiot." I almost laughed at how blind he was, but felt tears prick my eyes as I said "I love you, you imbecile." I was smiling into his chest and felt him hug me tighter as he whispered into my ear "I-I love you too." We stood there for a minute till an alarm sounded on my phone, warning me I had to set off to work now. I looked up to Pj and asked "Are you gonna be okay if I go? I really have to go or I'll be late." Pj looked at me as he questioned "Why?" I looked to the ground, I didn't want him to ask that. He forced me to look at him and said "If you really love me, you will know you can trust me. I promise"

Okay, this chapter is done. I managed to finish it earlier than I usually do. I also want to thank all the people who have been voting on my stories. I left the room and came back to 12 notifications from Moon_Nataly voting on all my stories so shout out to them. Fun fact my name is actually Natalie, so the username reminded me of my name.  And also The_one_and_only-_- and Millykit87. Thanks to you three, you inspired me to get a move on and write these. Now goodbye.
