Teens’ Heart – Episode 75

Chapter 75

………………………………………………

 

[Alex POV continues] Getting back to the school, School was over now and everyone is gone accept extra class students.. We got down and headed to my locker.

 

I remembered Chris.

 

Jeremy haven’t told him about this.

 

I decided not to ask him..

 

He took my hand again.

 

Argh! Jeremyyyyy.

 

I let him keep doing that.

 

I know he’s acting this way cos of what happened.

 

He’s broken… and sad.

 

He need someone to lean on..

 

Someone to comfort him.

 

He needs someone to make him happy and assure him that he’s dad is gonna be fine again soon.

 

And I’ll be that person.

 

We got to my locker and I opened it and got out my bag and took out my phone and closed my locker back.

 

Jeremy stood, waiting with his hands in his pockets.

 

Seriously this guy standing here is so down and dejected.

 

Look at his eyes.

 

I felt down too.

 

So down…

 

I checked my phone.

 

40 missed calls.

 

Huh!

 

30 from Lili.

 

10 from Steph.

 

Steph??

 

5 Unopened text messages.

 

I looked at Jeremy.

“Let’s go…” I said and we walked back to his car.

 

When we got in, I opened the messages.

 

Two is from Lili.

 

<b> Alex.. You are not picking your call.. Im worried.

 

Where are you?

 

God! You not picking your calls Alex. Im so worried. Are you with Jeremy? Please reply me.

 

I_know Lili would be so worried.

 

I’ll tell her everything..

 

But Steph.

 

<b> Alex, Im so sorry. I need our friendship back.

 

I’ll tell you the truth Alex. I got kinda jealous. Please forgive me and reply me.

 

I miss you.

 

I know you not gonna pick my calls. But please forgive me. I let some stupid jealousy control my thinking. I have no idea why I got jealous of you.. Please let’s make up.

 

I_read it over and over again. She got jealous of what?

 

Seriously, I dont understand you Steph…. but anyways, I miss youuuu. I didn’t text her.

 

I looked at Jeremy.

 

He’s eyes are on his driving.

 

He must be thinking alot now..

 

About his dad in the hospital…. And his driver as well.

 

Poor him.

 

I wish I could be beside him all through today till next day. I made a call to Lili.

 

She picked up.

“Hi Lili..” I spoke up.

 

“Oh thank God.. I was so worried Alex. How are you. Hope you good? Why didn’t

 

you pick your calls?” She asked.

 

I glanced at Jeremy. Our eyes met cos he glanced at me as well.

 

“Lili.. Im with Jeremy. And im fine. Im on my way home home. I’ll tell you about it.” I said.

“Alright. Be home quick dear. I love you.”

 

“I love you too.”

 

I dropped the call.

……………………………………………

 

When he got to the gate, he pulled to a stop and turned to me and took my hand.

“Jeremy..” I said.

 

“Andra… Thanks for being the best friend.” He said.

 

I smiled and he smiled too, even though it was a sad smile.

 

He had a pale smile that only told of how broken and dejected he is.

“I just wish I could.. I could do something.” He said to me.

 

“What’s that?” I asked.

 

“Promise me, you not gonna be upset?” He said.

 

Im confused.

“What’s that Jeremy?”

 

“It will make me feel happy.. It would make me feel damn happy Andra..” He said softly.

 

I wanna make him happy.

 

I want to,.so I just nodded.

 

I wonder what that is.

 

“Just stay still Andra.. please.” He said as he began getting his face closer to mine I felt chills.

 

Butterflies in my stomache.

 

What do he wanna do?

 

He got his hand at the back of my neck, then raised my face up with his other hand on my chin…

 

I guess, I closed my eyes.

 

Yeah I did.

 

Then, the next second, I felt his lips on mine.

 

He kissed me and the way he did it this time, took my breath away.

 

Gentle and so good.

 

I let him kiss me.

 

I can’t deny that I liked this kiss.

 

The kiss lasted for more than a minute.

 

Then he withdrew and stared into my eyes. I stared into his as well..

“Thank you Andra.. For letting me.. kiss you…. for letting me kiss this lips again.”

 

He said as he touched my lips with his thumb.

 

My lips were just agape as I stared at him.

 

I dont know what to do or say.

“..I feel so happy now. I really do.. I won’t worry so much tonight. Cos im gonna

 

have you by my side there in the hospital with the taste of your lips still here on my lips. Then Im gonna feel you with me.” He said and hugged me.

 

I felt speechless.

 

I couldn’t believe it.

 

“I love all you did today Andra… You are amazing.” He said,still hugging me.

 

Just then, my phone rang.

 

He pulled away.

 

Lili calling.

“Lili. Im at the gate now. I’ll be at the door soon.” I said.

 

“Oh dear..Im so worried that’s the reason.”

 

“Im fine Lili.” I said and dropped the call.

 

I turned to Jeremy.

“B..bye.. goodnight. Don’t worry so much. He’ll wake up and he’ll be fine. And if

 

your mom calls back again. Try to pick her call. Take care of yourself.” I said and tried to get down but he pulled me back and hugged me again.

“Jeremy..” I said coldly.

 

“Just five minutes please..” He said.

 

I understood its all cos of he’s down and need someone.

 

So I just let him.

 

When he finally withdrew. I got down and closed the door and he didn’t drive off.

 

I walked into the gate and up to the door and pressed the door bell.

 

Lili opened up in a second and just hugged me.

 

Then, a heard his car drive off.

 

She withdrew.

“You good?” Lili asked, looking at me.

 

I sniffled, “His dad got into an accident. Sustained bad leg injuries.” I said as a tear dropped down my eyes.

 

She gasped, then pulled me into another hug.

 

Much warmer and consoling.

“It’s fine…. It’s well” She said.
