???EPISODE 14???
ru-by hand trembled as she watched. She didn’t want to call any 911,She was so scared alre-ady that she could faint any moment from then.
Ryan rushed to Mike like a charged angry bull and threw him several punches on his face. Mike hit his back on a big table and he fell down ha-rd.
“Oowww!” Mike gro-an ed in pain.
“This is just the beginning fool!”Ryan shouted as he ran to fallen Mike,sat on his stomach and began to land him ha-rd punches.
Mike quic-kly pushed him away from his b©dy and ran to the corner where ru-by stayed shivering seriously , He took a pen and pointed it on her ne-ck.
“What are you doing?!!” Ryan asked scared.
“I told you that you are just a big clown” Mike laughed
“No… He isn’t” ru-by finally chuckled cleaning her tears.
“I just called the police, So do you worst” She added though she was still very afaird.
Mike shivered in fear and pushed ru-by away trying to run.
“Ryan! Catch him, Don’t let him go… I haven’t called the cops yet!” ru-by shouted.
Ryan was fast enough to hold him down, He quic-kly pinned Mike to the floor.
“Wow…. Nice move, Call the cops now!” Ryan said.
“I’m on it” She replied.
After few seconds, She was done.
“I’m done” She whispered
“You did a good job, But I can’t hold him for long… I’m getting weak” Ryan sadly said.
“Oh no…. What are we going to….
ru-by was interrupted by Mike who had gathered all his strength and pushed Ryan down.
He tried running away again but ru-by held his hand.
“Oh? Who we have here? If it’s not our super girl?” Mike chuckled wickedly staring at her.
“Ryan…. plea-se stand up” ru-by said as she shivered fearfully.
Ryan was weak and was still on the ground trying to get up.
Mike laughed and pushed ru-by who fell down.
“Sém!!?Are you okay?…What did you just do?!” Ryan yelled standing up quic-kly.
His strength had alre-ady come back suddenly and he was re-ady for another round of fight.
His angry had alre-ady been filled up after being triggered by what Mike had done to ru-by.
“I’m okay” ru-by whispered.
Ryan didn’t care,He went to Mike and started hitting him badly. Mike became weak that he couldn’t fight or run anymore but he struggled for a bit and ended up holding Ryan’s ne-ck tie.
“Ahh” Ryan gro-an ed loudly in pain as his ne-ck choked due to the ti-ght ne-ck tie being strangled on his ne-ck.
ru-by stood up and began to cry.
“plea-se, Let him go…. plea-se” She begged.
“Didn’t I warn you?…Didn’t I? You guys are just bunch of fools, You could have let me have my way…. Now, You have to watch him die” Mike laughed.
“No… plea-se, He is dying…. plea-se, Mike… Let him go,Oh God…. plea-se, I’m begging you” ru-by cried as she fell on her knees.
She couldn’t watch Ryan who was on the ground being choked to death.
” I guess you are weak after all” Mike laughed but he felt a sharp pain on his back. ru-by had quic-kly stabbe-d him with a pen.
“Ahhhhhhh!” He shouted as he fell down whincing in pain.
ru-by cried so much she didn’t know what else to do.
She covered her opened mouth and rushed to Ryan whose eyes were closed.
“Ryan?” She called tapping him with excess tears escaping from her eyes. He didn’t wake up.
“plea-se, Wake up… It’s my fault, I’m sorry, plea-se… ”
While all this were happening, The police came in almost immediately and arrested Mike who was still on the ground whincing in terrible pain.
ru-by showed them the pictures and they didn’t hesitate to arrest Mike. She was right after all!
“I have to call an ambulance for Ryan” ru-by said taking her phone while her hands trembled.
She was scared alre-ady. She kept crying and crying.
She felt bad and sorry.
Due to her trembling hands, Her phone fell down from her hand to Ryan’s b©dy but just then, A hand caught it quic-kly.
It was Ryan!
“Ryan!!” She yelled.
He stood up immediately,gro-an ed in pain and looked at ru-by who couldn’t stop crying.
“I’m sorry ryan” She whispered as she hu-gged him ti-ght.
Ryan sighed de-eply and got away from her arm.
“My phone?” He asked coldly.
“Huh?” She was quite worried
Ryan sighed and took his phone he saw on the phone.
He began leaving.
“Where are you off too?” ru-by asked.
“Home of course, Where else?” He replied.
He walked out as ru-by followed after taking their necessary things. She was behind him.
They both walked slowly.
Ryan stopped for a while and to-uched his painful ne-ck.
ru-by who saw this rushed to his front and looked at the ne-ck tie which was ti-ghtly strangled on his sore red ne-ck.
She looked at him and sighed.
“Take it off, I think it’s hurting you badly” ru-by said.
“I’m alre-ady hurting in my heart…….. This is just little pain” He replied.
ru-by sighed and placed her hand on his ne-ck tie trying to unknott it.
She looked at him and they had eye contact which made her feel nervous. She quic-kly re-moved her hand from his ne-ck tie.
Ryan sighed.
“Till when are you going to acknowledge my feelings for you, Huh?” He asked.
ru-by sighed de-eply.
“This is’nt the right time to talk about….
“BUT WHY?! WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME!!” He yelled angrily in tears.
“Huh? About?” She was confused
“Mike!!!? He has been s-xually hara-ssing you since right?….. Was that why you had mood swings and was that even why… You dropped the drinks on the prom night…Or am I wrong?” Ryan asked.
ru-by looked at him and bit herl-ip sadly trying to hold her tears.
“YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME!” He yelled again stomping his foot on the ground angrily.
“Why would I tell you?”She finally asked.
There was a bit of silence.
“Yeah… I guess I’m right, You don’t have any sort of attachment to me so you wouldn’t even say anything , I’m just the only one being greedy here….Now, I know what your feelings truly are, Sém, I think…… I’m going to stop now” Ryan said breaking the silence.
“Huh? Stop what?”
“I want to stop crushing on you, I don’t want to….. like you anymore”
ru-by looked at him without blinking her eye.
“ru-by…. He paused
She was shocked when he called her name.
“I’m going to let you go now…..out of my heart,mind,soul and feelings” He finally said and left her alone.
He walked away sadly. ru-by looked at him from behind and began walking again. She was quite surprised and didn’t know what to reply him then.
Ryan stopped and faced her.
“Are you following me?” He asked.
ru-by nodded
“Why?” He asked with a de-ep sigh.
“We… Uhmm… Still have tutorial you know”
Ryan sighed and looked at the dark sky.
“It’s late, Go home….Just forget about today” He retorted leaving.
ru-by looked at him as he walked away. She began to walk again still following him.
Ryan stopped which made ru-by halt.
He turned to her sadly and made a de-ep and loud sigh.
“Are you still following me, I know you didn’t teach me last week but it’s okay, Just rest again today… I’m OKAY” Ryan said
There was a very long pause before ru-by finally replied;
“No….. I don’t want to”
“Huh? What… Uhh?… W…Wh…Why?” Ryan muttered
“Because I’m…………NOT OKAY” ru-by whispered to him as a tear escaped from an eye.
???EPISODE 15???
ru-by quic-kly cleaned her tear that had escaped from her eye.
“Don’t just mind me, I think I just feel bad for not being a serious tutor… So let’s just go quietly,I hope you won’t say a word again” ru-by said as she walked past him.
Ryan followed her and unlocked the door.
“Did Mrs Smith tag along too?” ru-by asked looking around noticing the quietness in the house.
Ryan nodded his head.
They both went to his room, He switched on the light and arranged the books on the table,He placed two chairs and sat down.
Looking outside from the window he sighed de-eply and asked;
“Seems it might rain, You still want to stay?”
ru-by looked outside too and noticed the lightening that beautified the dark sky.
“It’s okay, I’m good” She replied as she sat down close to him in the other chair.
She looked at him and sadly shaked her head.
“What of your ne-ck tie, Won’t you unknott it alre-ady” ru-by asked concerned.
“Don’t just mind me, I love the way its hurts…Unless you will help or will you?” He asked.
ru-by looked at him and sadly sighed. She didn’t want to do anything but yet couldn’t watch him hurt.
She noticed a small cut on his forehead, She stretched her hand and to-uched the cut.
“Does it hurts?” She asked.
“No” He replied.
“Somewhere else hurts badly instead” He added.
“Where?” She asked very worried looking at him.
Their eyes were locked in for a while. ru-by swallowed her heavy saliva and tried removing her hand from his forehead but Ryan was quic-k in talking her hand to his left side of his che-st.
“Here… This place hurts me badly” He finally replied.
ru-by looked at his eyes and quic-kly re-moved her gaze from him. She then stared at his big hand that held her little hand on the left side of his che-st.
“Ryan….
“Sém? I think I’m going crazy” He interrupted her in a whisper.
ru-by looked at him.
“Huh?” She whispered back.
“Why— He paused. “Why do you keep ma-king me fall in love with you, Huh?” He continued.
ru-by became silent as their eyes locked instantly.
“Oh… I remember now, You said you didn’t want to fall in love again because of your past, But can’t you just let go of it, Because I can’t seem to stop myself from loving you the more” He said sadly alre-ady tearing up.
ru-by looked at him and felt sorry. She kept her own pile of painful tears in.
“Why—?….Why me, Why do you like me? Why does it have to be me?” ru-by asked allowing her weak and soft eyes to bring out the tears.
“I don’t really know either, Sometimes… We don’t know why we like the other,It’s just what our heart wants” He said as he ru-bbe-d her hand on his che-st. He cried still.
“I’m sorry but I don’t think I’m the right person” ru-by said crying like a baby facing the ground.
“Why… Huh? Tell me, Why not?” Ryan asked.
“I’m a bad person—Ap@rt from my past, I’m a really bad person, No one should like a bad person… Isn’t that the rule?”
Ryan chuckled slightly and cleaned his tears that flowed gently from his eyes.
“Who isn’t bad, Every human has flaws and imperfections, All human are bad, Whether from their past actions, Pres-ent and even the future…. The only time I can call someone a really bad person is when they murder someone or don’t you think?” Ryan asked.
ru-by faced him and bur-sted into tears.
“Hey? It’s okay” Ryan whispered.
“But what if I really murdered someone huh?… What if I really killed…
“Ssshhs….” Ryan interrupted her by holding herl-ips.
ru-by looked at him and sniffed her nose. Ryan chuckled and cleaned her tears.
“Don’t cry, I really hate it when you cry…” He said cleaning her tears. He faced ru-by who was de-eply looking into his eyes without blinking. Ryan was amazed.
They continued staring into each other’s eyes till Ryan broke the silence and asked;
“Sém –” He paused and swallowed ha-rd as his heart beats could be heard by even the neighbors blocks away.
“Can I ki-ss you?”
ru-by looked at him for a while,looked down and finally looked at him again. She nodded her head slowly once.
Ryan eyes wi-dened amazed. He placed his right hand on the table and left hand on his lap,swallowed ha-rd as his heart beats increa-sed the more like it was going to bur-st out of his che-st.
He blinked his eyes, carefully bent his head and moved hisl-ips closer to hers. ru-by closed her eyes ti-ghtly waiting for the unknown to come.
Ryan quic-kly opened his eyes, slowly withdrew his face and looked at her,He sighed de-eply and sadly which made ru-by open her ti-ghtly closed eyes.
“I can’t do it, I’m surprised, Despite this being what I ever wished for…. Maybe because I’m being sincere?” Ryan asked. ru-by just looked at him and without saying any word, She carefully placed her both palms on his cheeks. She moved herl-ips closer to hisl-ips and perked him slightly.
Ryan whose eyes were opened was very shocked. She left hisl-ips slowly and looked into his eyes. She quic-kly re-moved her gaze from him noticing she was feeling too nervous. Her heart beat could surely be heard by him.
In the blink of an eye, Ryan rushed to herl-ips like a bee to it’s honey. He held both her ne-ck side with his hands to keep balance between them. He ki-ssed her de-eply and pretty slowly, jumping from her upperl-ip then to her lowerl-ip. Rather than their eyes being ti-ghtly closed, It was softly and rexably closed. Still on herl-ips,He slowly took his hand to her wa-ist, lifted her up and placed her to his lap-s.
ru-by involuntary squee-zed her both feet which stayed on the right side as she placed her arms around his ne-ck side. Ryan thought her sweet ki-sses tasted like honey, Her natural framedl-ips were easy to munch as it was very soft like rose. The room kept echoeing the sweet loud sounds of their de-ep and slow ki-sses coming out of their mouth. Their ton-gues kept on colliding as their ki-sses became hotter and more de-eper.
ru-by ti-ghtened her fin-gers on this back shirt.
They both paused for a while, They closed their eyes with their foreheads together and theirl-ips being slightly opened.
They both looked at each other after slowly opening their closed eyes. ru-by faced his ne-ck tie and became worried again. She didn’t let it bother her. She had her own way. She moved her left leg to the other side ma-king her face Ryan the more and comfortably sitting down on his lap.
Ryan pu-lled her closer to him with his hand on her wai-stma-king their che-st to tou-cheach other. He returned back to herl-ips and gently started ki-ssing her more de-eper but slower.
Theirl-ips became hot…Their ki-ss was getting hotter as both of them felt plenty bu-tterflies in their stomach, That even the room didn’t become exceptional to this, It was hot too!.
ru-by placed her hand on his long hair and began to tou-chand ca-ress it as the ki-ss went on. They couldn’t stop… Oh no!.
ru-by re-moved one of her hand and slowly went down to his stomach side, She placed her hand on his stomach and moved it slowly and gently to his che-st(He still has his uniform on though).
Having noticed her hand was on his che-st, She made her way on his ne-ck tie. Still de-eply ki-ssing hisl-ips, She began to unknott it slowly. After few seconds, She was done. She re-moved the ne-ck tie slowly from his ne-ck and threw it to God-knows-where?.
She quic-kly moved her hand back to his back hair as Ryan kept pu-lling her wai-stcloser to him. The ki-ss seemed to have now been fast-paced now that both of them couldn’t stop.
They were so immersed in their ki-ssing that no one knew when it started to rain.
They both paused and looked at each other. They chuckled.
Ryan looked at her as ru-by smiled. He held her wai-stti-ght as ru-by also placed her arm around his shoulder down to his ne-ck side.
“Why are you so beautiful?” Ryan whispered.
ru-by chuckled and blus-hed.
He pec-ked her lightly on herl-ip.
“hey?” ru-by whispered
“why?” Ryan asked and pec-ked her again.
“stop” She replied childishly laughing.
“No” He replied and pec-ked herl-ips ro-mantically.
“oh goodness, ryan?” ru-by laughed.
“yes?” He answered and pec-ked herl-ips again.
They were both whispering ro-mantically.
“you are just being so cheesy.. well, i’m going to say the most cheesiest word– she paused.
“i love you” she softly said.
Ryan opened his eyes wi-de and smiled.
“Say it again” He said happily.
“no” she laughed. “It just childish” she added.
“I love you more, I promise you won’t regret being mine” He said happily pecking herl-ips down to her ne-ck.
ru-by chuckled softly.
“ryan… stop” she whispered laughing
Ryan smiled and stared into her eyes. He moved to herl-ips again and ki-ssed her de-eply and more pa-ssionately. He finally left herl-ips slowly and looked at her. Her eyes were still closed. She gently opened them afterwards.
“So, Sém–” He paused.
ru-by looked at him.
“should i stop then?” he added.
They both stared at each other for a while before she finally shaked her head slowly once (It was a NO).
Ryan smiled and went back to herl-ips immediately ki-ssing her like he had never done before.
“I now love him, I know that” ru-by thought with a smile paused in between their beautiful ki-sses.
