Chasing Love

chapter 4

Ella’s POV:

My blood continued to boil more, soon I felt myself slumping.
“Ella! What’s wrong with you Ella!” I heard Daniela’s voice.
I closed my eyes and allowed darkness take over me.
I opened my eyes and saw myself in what I presume to be the school clinic. I looked up and saw Daniela and Andrew staring down at me, how did that animal find out that I’m a mother.
And he of all people had to do this to me, I began sobbing.
“Hey stop crying already, we have other students who are mother’s in this school and they live fine. Don’t worry about anything. In a few days everything will be forgotten” Andrew said.
“I will make him pay for this… Of all people he had the guts… As if it’s my fault” I said within gritted teeth.
“It’s Okay Gabriella… Everything’s gonna be fine” Daniela said trying to calm me down.
“I was ra.p.ed… It’s not Williams fault he doesn’t have a father… The father is an animal who deserves to rot in hell”
The look on their faces changed to a pitiful one, Andrew hugged me and quietly went out.
“I’m so sorry Ella… I can imagine what it feels like to go through all that”
“It’s worse…you can’t imagine it because you wouldn’t want to go through it. I have to go home” I said getting up.
“If you go home now… He’s gonna feel like he won, would you let that happen?” Daniela said making me stop.
She’s right. I came to this school for a purpose and I can’t let anything bring me down.
Especially not him.
“You’re right… Let’s go back to the class”
She smiled, “That’s so much better”
We went back to class, a teacher was already in and the whole class kept staring at us. Andrew and the scum are not in class, we went to our seats and listened to the lectures but my mind kept boiling.
How did he even find out about my child? He’s the most id.io.tic person I’ve ever met in my life.
He’s going down and I don’t care if his family goes down with him. Its their fault for not training their son well, I’m gonna make him cry and beg me to stop also but I won’t.
And that’s a promise, unless my name is not Ella.

Andrew’s POV:
“What did you want to talk about?” Gabriel asked as I dragged him out of class.

“Why did you do that to Ella?” I snapped visibly angry.
“Tell the b*tch*s to get in line… I f’vk too many girls to remember all their names” he said proudly.
“You know who I’m talking about…Ella the new girl you just rated out to the whole school”
He laughed “She had it coming Andrew… Don’t feel bad for her, I mean she got herself into deep shit”
Gabriel is just so full of himself and he never thinks he’s doing anything bad even when the person is dying.
“What you did was very bad! Why didn’t you research well before jumping into conclusions that she’s a sl—t!” I yelled.
“You’re taking this personal Andrew and I don’t like it one bit.. How about you stay the f’vk out of this” he seethe.
I punched him “The poor girl was ra.pe.d by an unknown person and all you can do is make her feel worse? You’re a beast Gabriel… Too bad you share the same name with that angel”
I walked out satisfied with the look on his face, I went back to class and saw Ella already sitting.
My heart is suddenly beating for her. I felt so heartbroken when I heard her say she was raped. I wanna kill the nutcase who did this to her, I mean how dare he hurt someone and still not take responsibility or even care how she is.
That’s totally cold and inhumane.
After classes I walked to her seat, she’s getting ready to leave the class.
“Ella” I called.
She turned with a smile “Hey Andrew”
“How are you feeling?” I asked.
“I’m better. I have nothing to hide anymore so I’m good” she replied still smiling even though pain is visible in her eyes.
She’s such a strong girl to withstand all these, makes me admire her.
“Do you wanna have lunch with me? And you too Daniela” I said.
“What? Yes I will” Daniela replied excited.
“Well let’s go then” I dragged Ella out before she could even protest or do anything.
We entered the cafeteria and all eyes are on us, I heard Ella sigh.
“What are you all looking at? From now on anyone who dares tries to bully or insult her will have to answer to me. I hope I made my point clear” they all went back to what they are doing.
We sat at a table, I saw Romeo having lunch with another girl I don’t know. He and Gabriel are just the same.
“Thank you Andrew” Ella said.
“For what?”
“For standing up for me and supporting me even though you barely know me”
I smiled “That’s because you’re a special person Ella….you don’t deserve what he did to you and you can count on me for anything”
“Thanks again” she touched my hand before going to get her food.
I think I like this girl already and I’m not going to let Gabriel hurt her again.

Gabriel’s POV:

Why does my conscience keep judging me? How was I supposed to know she was raped? But she had it coming when she decided to be rude to me.
But who’s the scoundrel who ra.p.ed her?
Yesterday I followed her to her house without her knowing. I hung around their house for a while, I sneaked in through the kitchen.
I heard her arguing with her mother about the father of the baby, she was saying she found him but she refused to tell her who.
I didn’t know it was this complicated, no wonder she was so bitter. Maybe a guy like me did that to her, a player.
I really don’t know what to say but I feel like apologizing to her.
It would really hurt my pride though but I suddenly can’t stop thinking about what she’s going through.
I saw her go to the cafeteria with Andrew and her new friend, I’ll wait till closing hours.
As soon as school closed I went to wait for her at her parking space. She walked towards me with Daniela and they stopped on seeing me. Her eyes portrayed pure anger.
“What do you want now? Is there more news?” She said sarcastically.
“I should excuse you… See you tomorrow Ella” Daniela hugged her and left.
“I’m sorry” I said shutting my eyes and opening it, it’s so hard to actually apologize to someone especially not a girl.
She stared at me before bursting into laughter. A laughter that had tears in it and I saw the pain.
