Addicted To You

chapter 10

I got up and went to my bedroom.
"Sarah, what happened? Are you alright?" I didn't answer him rather closed the bedroom door behind me. He continued from the other side of the door..
" Sarah, please don't get mad at me. See we can't be in any relationship. You are my student. Its illegal. Its too risky. You have a bright future ahead of you. If we get caught you can be expelled and your life will be ruined. I will be sacked and I can be in jail even. You are a teenager passing through adolescence. So attraction towards your opposite gender is normal. Its completely my fault I got carried away sometimes. I am very sorry. I am not leaving you. We are still friends. Being friends is not illegal. Besides my best friend is your sister's fiance. So it is normal to talk or meet outside school. That's not illegal. We are still friends. But please Sarah no relationship. " I opened the door and asked him bitterly " are you done with your lectures?? Then you may leave now. And thanks a lot for ruining the day. You know what Mr wills, too much curiosity is not good. This could be avoided if you hadn't compelled me to open up to you. I tried to avoid it and you are free to go."
" Sarah please you know my past. Please understand my condition." He said in a fear stricken please.
I yelled at him," Mr wills, for heaven's sake stop with your ' Sarah please Sarah please '. Your past has nothing to do with considering someone's innocent love. I didn't ask you your past. You were crying and I asked the reason. You told me yourself. That's it. Now leave. "He looked very sad and left my apartment. I closed the door on his face. I sat down to think properly. He was not totally wrong. I shouldn't have behaved like that with him. I was hurt. But his past, I was really rude to him. I must apologize to him. I looked at the watch to see its 5pm. I have been sitting for so long. Anyways, Asli came back, we had dinner together and went to bed.
I woke up at 8.30 am. Asli had already left for work. I quickly showered and got ready. I decided to go to school early and apologize to Mr wills. I headed to school and reached school at 9.10 AM. I walked into the maths classroom and found him sitting at the teacher's desk. He looked at me but didn't say anything." Mr wills". He answered indifferently his eyes holding no emotion,"how can I help you Ms. Wilson?" I walked towards him and placed my hand on his shoulder. "Mr wills, I am extremely sorry for my rude behavior last day. I know whatever I have said is beyond forgiveness. So if you want to punish me you are free to do so. There is no excuse for this behavior. I am sorry. I even brought this letter. I will shift to Mrs Grace's class. I will submit the letter to the principal today only. You don't have to bear me anymore. And I wrote my cousin sister, lily is in that class and she is sick. To help her I want to shift my class. I talked with lily. She is a really good friend she will manage. Once again I am really sorry. I don't expect you to forgive me. You can always punish me." He looked at me. His eyes red and swollen indicating he had been crying. Oh my god what have I done. " Sarah its okay. You don't have to ask for forgiveness. Its me who should apologize. You woken up me Sarah . yes you are right. Loving someone has nothing to do with a lie in the past. After going home I thought and realized it. You were hurt that's why you said all of these. I saw the pain in your eyes. I am sorry. I was in a trauma. Yeah a student teacher relationship is risky. But if it could be kept as a secret for the rest of the months it would have worked out. But I was too afraid to think anything else. I am sorry." A tear rolled down his cheek. Tears came to my eyes to see his pain but I held back and said," don't cry anymore please. Its awful to know I have been the reason of your crying. I know I can't change what I said but at least I can assure you not to say like this in the future."I placed my hands on his cheeks and placed a kiss on his forehead. Suddenly my eyes landed on his wrist and I gasped. Several marks of cut were covering his wrist. These were not there earlier. I grabbed his hand and said," why? Couldn't you wait for 1 day." This time my tears ran unchecked. Why I had to behave so harshly? He wiped away my tears and said," I couldn't bear the thought I lost my only friend to whom I felt free to share everything. You were right I ruin everything. I have no right to live in this world."
" please don't do this to yourself. You have not lost me. I couldn't tolerate that you rejected my love just like that giving a lecture about teenage and stuff. Now I have realized I am really not right for you. I am only hurting you. Don't worry I am changing my class. You will not have to get hurt again. After seeing this I can also never forgive myself. "I said and turned to leave but he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him." Sarah you are not hurting me. It was my trauma hurting me. But I am not afraid. Can we be together now? Its OK if you say no. It can't be always my choice."
"Yes of course Jason we can be together but we have to be very careful." He leaned down and kissed me gently pouring all the love he had for me. We pulled away and smiled at each other. So "will you be my girlfriend?" He asked.
"Yes" I said and kissed his cheek. He was grinning like a 5 year old boy who has got his favorite toy. "Well I must go now. Classes will start within 10 minutes. I have English at first."
"Wait Sarah, you really behaved very rudely with me yesterday. I need to punish you." He said sternly and continued, "your punishment is tear up the letter and throw it in the trashcan immediately. You are not shifting any class."
I immediately did what he said and hugged him. I grabbed his hand and took a careful look at his wrist. There were 17 cut marks. I gently kissed each of his scars and looked at him.
Tears rolled down his cheeks and said,"oh Sarah, what will I do without you. Don't leave me ever." "I will never leave you Mr wills." We kissed once again and I left for English class.
In English class Becca asked me " why are you avoiding me?"
"I am not avoiding you becs I am just busy these days for Asli's marriage."
"Oh yes. I forgot."
"Don't forget to attend the wedding. Come a night before."
"OK sure."
We kept on talking for the rest of the day. Soon it was lunchtime. We ate lunch and a plan came to my mind,"becs let's play a prank."
"What will we do? And with whom?"
" Mr wills. Listen carefully to the plan. I will distract him and in the mean time you will remove everything from his bag and desk drawer and keep those in car. His car keys must be in his bag and if not text me I will manage to get those. There are many old newspapers in the storeroom. Bring those papers. Tear those into pieces and fill his bag with these. And take these print pictures of cartoons keep it in his desk drawer. "
"Sarah but why Mr wills?"
"The rest of the teachers will immediately know whose work it can be. So he is new. He doesn't know us. Let's get to work."
We headed towards his room.
