I Had You

Chapter 5

"I have already told you to stop throwing tantrums."

That friend of yours,he doesn't seem like a good guy.Stop associating with him" said Daniel,in a low tone.

As I wiped the tears that streamed down my cheeks,I replied
"You are not a good guy either. Let's stop seeing each other as well."

"At first I thought that I'd be able to endure anything,as long as I can stay together with you."

"Filled with joy,I endured the seven years and fulfilled the ten years promise.

And yet,I never expect a person to change."

I stopped forcing words out of my mouth as I was squeezing my hand hard,shivering with anger.

Then I continued.
"The only reason for a person's change is because he wants to change."

"Let's split up for a while. I don't want to keep taking care of such broken relationship that we're having."

"No! Let's not split up.
You know me well don't you.
You know that I do have anger issues and it's your fault for saying something that pisses me off."

I pushed Dan's palms off of my face as he finished his "talk".
"Let's break up."

"Stop joking with me" said Daniel as he looked at me with
'Hah,you're breaking up with me? You?' face.

"I mean it. You should know that I'm very stubborn by this tim-" (time)

Dan grabbed me by my wrist and pushed me out of our house.

"GO AWAY THEN. GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!"

Disappointed,I pulled out my phone and texted "Doc.Aiden,please go ahead and set a date for the chemotherapy."

Thinking back,when I was a high schooler.
Daniel was my seatmate.

Daniel: Hey,there's a nice smell coming from you.

"Nice smell...?"
"Ah,it must be the jasmine."

Daniel was hit by our home room teacher when we were noticed that we were talking.
"Daniel Anderson,stop daydreaming!"

Daniel's POV(Throwback to when he was a highschooler)

I pulled an all nighter,since I couldn't stop reading novels yesterday.
Ughhhhh I'm too tired.

But then,I smelled the soft sweet scent coming from somewhere,not far from the seat I'm in.

"Here are the jasmine flowers that my grandfather is growing" said Lewis,my seatmate.

There's something about him.
Something about him that my heart beats faster.

"You don't want it?"

"Oh,no,no,I want it."

Louis poured all the jasmine flowers from his palms to mine.

As we talked about other stuff,we laughed and I patted his head.

His smile and his blushing little cheeks makes me go a little wild inside.

From that moment on,we gradually grew closer.

Everyday I would ask what he's doing,what's he reading,asked him if I could copy his homework and asked him to watch me play the sports after school.

I would at least call his name 10 times a day.

And on Tuesday,I asked Louis,if I could tag along with him to see the jasmine flowers.

As we entered the house,I could smell the jasmine flowers,pressing through my nostrils.

"Grandpa! I bought a friend over to look at the flowers!" Louis shouted as he closed the door.

"Okay! I'm busy right now,so tell your friend to consider our home as his own house!"

Louis glanced at me,just to pass on the words of his grandpa to me with his eyes.

Then,he gently touched the petals of the flowers,just to bent down and smell the floral scent of the jasmine flowers.

I don't know what happened to me in a split second,I wanted to hug Louis so tightly and smell him hard in the neck.

When the floral scent hits me hard in my nostrils,I realised that I'm already hugging Louis by his waist,and smelling him hard in his neck.

And Louis blushing hard.

The next monday,my friend asked me to play basketball with him,but I refused to.

"What's up with you? You've stopped playing ball for a while. And you kept sketching something on your books though. What are you up to?"

"Don't look!" I blushed hard.

"I just wanna take a look" he pouted.

"No is a no. This is embarrassing."

"Fine! 'Embarrassing' huh? Who wants to look anyways."

"Hey Daniel!"

"Me?"

"Yes you. Come help me carry some workbooks to the teacher's room."

"Ah,yes sir"

That afternoon,I bought him a bracelet,since he hate carbonated drinks.

"I heard that you aren't a fan of carbonated drinks,so I bought you a handmade bracelet.

So I hope that you love it,and love me too!"

Oh my god! What am I saying! Shit! Shit! Shit!

Louis's POV

He didn't know that the sketches that he'd been drawing was found out by me.

And I was amazed by what I saw.

The sketches were of me. It was in different positions and in different views.

I didn't know that he can draw such good sketches.

Moments after I coughed out some blood,the door creaks open,and the lights inside made my eyes hurt.

"Keep staying outside,unless and until you want to freeze and die outside" said Dan,with a poker face.
