NO TIME TO WASTEEEE
Jason POV
I stared at Temi and looked at the wires connected to her body. Her caramel skin had turn white and pale. She looked like a dead in the living
The thought of her dieing scared me so much
You did this to her my inner mind said
No,I didn't do it intentionally
Flashback
I left the class to my usual spot 'the corridor'
I know it's weird
This place had been abandoned for years
Students don't longer use this place
I sat on the floor and stared in space...lost in my own thoughts
"Hey" I heard a familiar voice say and I looked up to find Temilade
She always know where to find me
"Hey. How are you"
"I'm good" she said sitting beside me
"That's nice" I said and a comfortable silence broke out
"Sooooo did you fall this time" she asked and my breath hitched as I tensed up
"Huh"
"You know fully well that I don't fall for your excuses... I know those bruises and wounds are not from a fall " She said staring at me, boring holes into my head
"It's the truth" I said masking my emotions.
Something I'm very good at
"Jason I'm sick and tired of all this facade. I know something is wrong please just let me in I could help" she said in a soft voice with concern written all over her face
"I'm fine" I deadpanned and stood up. I dusted my trouser and made an attempt to move but I was stopped
"Jason you can't keep doing this. There's a lot of things going on in my mind right now about those bruises and I need answers before I start assuming the worst" She said and this time I can sense in her voice that she was really angry.
Trust me I want to tell you everything but I can't drag you into my fucked up life
"Assume all you care because that's the point, you're not concerned you are just curious" I said
Hurt flashed through her eyes and it welled up with tears that were threatening to fall
I'm sorry but if having to push you away is going to save your life then I won't mind. I can't selfishly bring you into danger just for the sake of my peace of mind
I walked away and before I knew it Temilade was in front of me again.
"Temi please excuse me, I need to get to class" I said
Before I could blink an eye, a hand came flying across my cheek. I raised my head slowly and it was then I realized that Temilade had slapped me
Shit that hurts way more than the pain that devil of a woman causes me everyday.
Cause it's from the girl you're crazy for.
"Jason how could you say that? I've always cared about you and then what do you say? That l'm curious? I can't believe you Jason. I seriously can't believe you" She screamed
"Don't you get it? My life is none of your business" I yelled and turned away about to leave to take the second staircase
Fortunately our school's staircase were two sided
