Encounter

chapter 40

Beam's pov:

My exams are finally over! 

I can finally see Forth after two whole weeks! 

We've been talking via text but i've been missing cuddling with him so much. 

So i'm going to stay with him for the next two weeks of my holiday. 

"You're really excited huh?" Pha chuckled at my expression. 

We are currently on our way to the dorms in Pha's car. Kit and i were both too lazy to drive so we hitched with Pha.  

"I haven't seen him for two whole weeks. Of course i'm excited." I smiled widely. 

Pha and Kit shook their heads in amusement. 

I practically ran to my room after the moment he parked. 

I quickly took a shower and changed. I took my keys and wallet and went to my car. 

The smile didn't leave my face the whole way there.

Uncle Mark opened the door a minute after i knocked on the door. 

"Hey. Haven't seen you for a while." He smiled and let me in. 

"The exams were so exhausting." I groaned. 

He chuckled. 

"Where's Forth?" I looked around. 

"He's in his workroom." He answered. 

I looked at him questioning.  

"He came up with 50 designs at once. My workroom is too small for that. So we cleaned up one of the big rooms upstairs and bought mannequins, fabrics and tools and kept them there. So it's his workroom now." He explained. 

I raised my eyebrows. 

I was about to head upstairs but he stopped me. 

"Did he tell you about what happened two weeks ago?" He asked.

I frowned. 

"Did something happen?" I asked. 

"So he didn't..." He mumbled. 

"Come here." He pulled me to the couch and we sat down. 

I looked at him and waited for him to talk. 

He told me about what had happened in the bathroom and what Forth told him about his past. 

My eyes widened and my jaw was hanging by the end of it. 

"Why didn't you call me?" I asked. 

"You had exams. I didn't want to disturb you." He answered. 

"He almost killed himself! You think my exams are more important to me than my boyfriend's life?!" I yelled. 

"I wanted to call you the next day but he stopped me. He said he didn't want to distract you from your studies. He begged me not to tell you." He sighed. 

I groaned and pulled at my hair. 

"That definitely sounds like him." I muttered. 

"I'm going to make lunch. Why don't you go and talk to him?" He pat my shoulder. 

I nodded and got up. 

I quickly went upstairs. 

I looked at the hallway and noticed one of the doors was open. 

When i went in, he was sitting on the couch busy on his tablet. 

He was completely immersed in it and didn't notice i had come in.
