Chapter 27

Anikas pov:

I kept tossing and turning all night, so I gave up on trying to sleep, and now I'm heading to my last lesson, which is English, heartbroken, depressed and sleep-deprived. I managed to avoid Sam and Scarlett as we all had different classes all day, but as soon as I head into this classroom I'm not only going to see them but also Christian, and I'm not ready for all the questions I'm about to get. I took a deep breath and went straight to my table without making eye contact with anyone.

"Where have you been? We've been worried sick, and you didn't even send us one text to tell us that you're ok?" Sam said, getting pissed off at me.

"You can't just disappear on us babe, Sam is right. Even C has been worrying about you. Also, why do you have lots of makeup on? Scarlett interrogated me.

"Don't worry, guys I'm ok, I just had food poisoning, and I was sleeping most of the week. I'm sorry for making you worry. I need to talk to you both after class I-" before i could finish what i was saying Christian spoke.

"Miss Ahmed stop talking in class unless you would like to share with the whole class what you're talking about? See me after class." Christian said, ouch I guess i did deserve that.

"I apologise Mr Rave. I won't do it again." I said, rolling my eyes.

"Sorry about the disruption class. Today i want you to just work from your textbooks as I'm not feeling too good, you can talk between yourselves as long as you aren't too loud." He said, sitting back down. I could see from the corner of my eyes that both Scarlett and Sam were looking at me funny because Christian told me off in front of the whole class, but i just ignored them and put my headphones in and hood up.

As i was finishing the last question, somebody pulled out my headphones which pissed me off, but just as I was about to scream at the person I realised it was Christian.

"I let everyone go early, but I guess you didn't hear me. We need to speak," Christian said, leaning against the table in front of me.

"There's nothing to talk about Sir. I did what i did to protect you, end of; I'm sorry for talking in class, but I've got to go," I said, getting ready to leave before i start crying.

"There's nothing to talk about? Are you fucking joking Anika? I have worried sick about you! Just last week we are cuddling in bed talking about our future, and now you're saying you're just trying to protect me? Did you not think for one second what you're doing to me? I get that you're going through things, but you can't expect me just to be the strong one every time. I miss you, just let me help you," his voice cracked. I tried so hard to protect him from my parents that i didn't realise i was hurting him.

"I didn't mean to hurt you Christian; the truth is my family found out about you, and they forced me to break it off with you if i didn't they would've gone to the police the only reason they haven't is because of there stupid reputation. I love you; I will never stop loving you. If you are serious about us, then you need to be patient. I officially leave this school in 3 months, and I'll be eighteen in three weeks. If we wait until I leave school, then everything should be alright." I said honestly. I'll do anything to make sure we stay together.

"Babe, you should've told me this, I could have helped you, I can help you. I can wait three months I would wait forever if it's the only way we can be together. I know this is crazy, but I'll leave this job. We can move to London and be around my family, and I can find a new job there. These three months are going to be so slow not being able to hug you or kiss you, but I know we can do it," he said, coming up and squeezing my hand lovingly.

"Ok, we can do it. I need to leave now, but from now on for the rest of the three months, we can't kiss, hug or look at each other lovingly, text or anything other than a student-teacher relationship. I'm ready to leave my family behind if it means we get to be happy. I'm going to tell the guys that we've broken up with a mutual decision. Can I have one last hug?" I asked him pouting. He chuckled and made his way over to me. We said our goodbyes and i left his classroom with a huge smile. I made my way over to Sam and Scarlett and made sure to look a bit sad.

"Are you going to tell us what's going on? " Scarlett asked me.

I will tell you at the cafe around mine. I don't want people knowing or hearing. I'll see you go guys at 4 o'clock?" I said, leaving for my taxi.

"See you then!" Sam yelled back.

"So are you going to tell us what's going on?" Scarlett questioned, sipping her tea.

"Christian and I broke up; it just wasn't going anywhere," I said, looking at them to see their reactions.

"Remember what I said would happen If he hurts you? i said I would kill him if he hurts you! Tell me where he lives right now!! The fucking bastard," Sam yelled, slamming his hands down on the table making me jump.

"Babe calm down you're scaring her," Scarlett said to Sam in a soft tone.

"Babe? When did you guys become official? I questioned them becoming intrigued.

"We did after the first date; we've all known each since we were kids, so there was no need to take it slow and get to know one another, I've loved Scarlett ever since i can remember, but I was just too much of a wuss to do anything about it," Sam said kissing her.

"Anyway enough about relationship talk. Can you believe we leave school in three months? I don't think I'm ready to become an adult yet. The only thing I'm looking forward to is all of us becoming eighteen and going to the same college together." Scarlett said with excitement.

Shit, how do I tell them that in three months I won't be here anymore? I thought feeling guilty for planning on leaving them.

"It's also your birthday in a week since i can't take you out drinking, so what would you like to do? We could all go to the dessert place you've been dying to go too? We'll all can dress up and make the most of it," Sam said, already planning everything.

"Yeah, I'd love that, I need to go home now as its getting late. I'll see you both in class tomorrow. I love you both." I said, hugging them both goodbye.
