Shane did a lot before Elena agreed to stĀ©p crying and when he was removing the metal from his arm, she started crying again when she saw him wincing in pains
He threw down the metal and went to her. “Princess I told you not to cry” he said, holding her face
” I can’t just…help .. it” she hiccu-ped and Shane smiled before pu-lling her up and he immediately swept her up in his arms
“Huh!” She g@sped sharply.
“See?, My arm is fine, I can still carry you” he smiled
” It doesn’t hurt?” She asked, feeling a little bit better
” At all, I’m fine” he replied and started walking out of the place till they got to the car
He placed her on the seat and entered too.
“What really happened?” She asked
“The shooter the other time actually tried to shoot you” he replied
” What!”
” Yes, he’s behind the accident the other time too” he said
“Who….who could be after my life, I did .. nothing wrong to anyone ” she said fearfully
He smiled and tĀ©uƧhed her cheeks. “No matter what, I’ll protect you, Shane will protect you so out your mind at rest, you can’t go anywhere without me from now on” he said
She nodded and rested her head on his che-st shortly. “I’m scared” she said, looking up at him
He pe-cked her cheeks and traced her brows with his thumbs
“Trust me, you’ll be fine ok?” he said and she nodded
” Let’s move” he said.
*******
“Who could be after her life?” Shane thought after taking a shower
He had dropped her home earlier
He sat in front of his mirror and inhaled
“Could it be same people who caused Samantha’s death?, So was Samantha’s death planned?, So her death wasn’t ordinary?, Was the plane crash programmed cos they knew she’d be in the plane?” He thought, rolling a cube in his palm
” Are they after Elena cos they think she’s Samantha?, Is that the case?, Why will anyone kill Samantha?, Why will they want to kill Elena too?, This seems like an ha-rd puzzle” he thought, laying on his be-d
” I’ll protect you with my life… Elena, I can’t lose you too” he said
*****
Elena can’t get her mind off what happened earlier as she ate
“Who can be after me?, I did nothing wrong to anyone, I’m not a bad person” she thought, slowly hitting her spoon on the plate of scrambled eggs
“Elena” Bella called when she observed her but she’s too de-ep in thoughts to hear
“Elena” she called again, hitting the table and that’s when she jĀ£rked up
“Hey Elena, what were you thinking?” She asked worriedly
” Nothing mum” she replied slowly
“Nothing?”
“Yes”
Bella drew closer to her and held her cheeks. ” We promised not to keep anything from each other” she said, looking straight into her eyes
“Mum…. someone is trying to kill me” she said sadly and Bella can’t hide her shock
“What happened again?”
“Someone tried to shoot me today but thanks to Shane” she replied
” Shoot you?’
“Yes mum, but I’m fine, Shane promised to protect me and I believe he’ll do that” she replied as-suredly and stood
” I nee-d to go check out my scars” she smiled before going in
Bella held her head as slow tears rushed out of her eyes. “Why can’t you just stĀ©p and forgive me alre-ady!, Why don’t you just stĀ©p!, One is not enough and now the second one?, Don’t you have a forgiving soul?, Don’t you!” She said and cried more .
” I’m not worthy to be called a mother, I’m a bit-ch, I can’t even tell her the truth, I can’t bring myself to do it…it would have been better if the bastard can just kill me instead and not take out my sins on my child” she lamented bitterly
Elena stood in front of the mirror and took off her jean jacket and trou-sers, then her un-derwear, leaving her stark n-ked in front of it
She checked out her bĀ©dy and it’s still as worse as she can remember
Though she saw it while bathing in the morning but maybe she’s hoping for a miracle to happen and make it all dissappear but it’s not happening
She tried not to cry as she stared at her unattrac-tive bĀ©dy. “What will Shane think if he sees this?, Will he still treat me the way he used to do?, Will he?” She thought, putting on her night wear
She sat on her be-d and took Loki from it’s spĀ©t, she hvgged him ti-ght and remembered what happened earlier
“I didn’t offend anyone, then who could be after my life?” She thought
Her phone rang beside her and she quic-kly picked up, it’s Shane
“Hey” she smiled, feeling her heartbeats
“Princess” he said from the other end
Somehow, she has come to love that name
“Are you about to sleep?” She asked, patting Loki
“Nope, I won’t be able to sleep if I don’t call you even though after calling you, I’ll still miss you throu-ghout the night” he replied and she blu-shed greatly, unable to say anything for like two minutes
“You’re not talking” he said
“Oh!, I’m …I’m just, flattered” she replied
” Not a matter of flattery princess, you’re the most important person in my life and if I lose you, I die” he replied, meaning every word
” StĀ©p saying that” she replied, blu-shing ha-rd
“I can’t stĀ©p saying the truth” he replied
“Em… eaten?” She asked
” Yeah, I took cookies, just what I felt like taking” he replied
” Oh, alright”
” What about you?” He asked
“Scrambled eggs” she replied
“And you’re ok?”
“Sure” she stated
“Then I guess we’ll see in school tomorrow” he replied
” You’re hanging up now?” She asked, feeling bad
“Yes, why?” He asked
“I…. nothing” she replied
*Ok let’s talk till we’ll fall asleep, what should we talk about?” He asked
” Our project, let’s talk about what we wrote down at the institute today” she replied
*****
Next morning**
Miley woke up to a message on her phone
*Morning stubborn head, I hope you sle-pt well?, See you in school and I hope you’ll have a nice day*
She quic-kly sat up and hoped fervently that it should be Shane but it’s an unknown number
“Unknown number?” She said, wondering who it might be then another one c@mĀ£ up
*It’s Warren*
She laughed out loud. “Utter joke huh?, Why would he sĀ£nd me an early message when I’m not his girlfriend!, Ion even like him a pinch!” She ranted
She dialled Laurette number and Sydney connected too for a video call
“You can’t believe the daft Warren sĀ£nt me a morning message” she said and they both laughed loudly
” fvĀ¢k!, That’s so hilarious” Sydney laughed
“It’s funny right?” Miley said
” Extra funny” Sydney replied and continued laughing
” I’ll make him un-derstand I’m not to be toyed with in school” Miley replied and hung up before entering the bathroom.
****
Alan has been going to work in place of Louis since he bec@mĀ£ sick and it has been one Ā¢v-mbersome job for him
“I can’t wait for him to snap out of the silly sickness, it su-cks to sit in the office all day” he rambled as he sat in the dinning room for his breakfast
” Now you know his worth” Tanya replied
” Just stĀ©p talking” Alan replied, clearing his throat as he started eating
“Which contract have you handled together with Tanner group of companies?” Tanya asked
” We just started so I’m applying patience” Alan replied
” Since when did you start thinking about patience?, And besides, it’s been two weeks and you’re saying….
“I’m off” Alan interrupted and stood
He left the house Immediately and Miley c@mĀ£ down, dressed for school
“I’m off to school mummy” she waved
“You’re not interested in food?” Tanya asked
” At all” she replied and left, she successfully hid her lashes till she left the house
“That hawk of a mother” she remarked before entering her car
****
Cheryl never sle-pt a wi-nk throu-ghout last night, she watched over Louis who’s still refusing to open his eyes
This morning she did a lot of persuasion but he never opened his eyes no matter what
She stayed with him this morning too and never bothered to even brush
All she wants to see now is his eyes but he won’t even open up
She felt his temperature and it’s back to normal but he still looks weak
She held his hand and and k!$$Ā£d the back of his palm for long
“I love you, plea-se open your eyes” she said pleadingly but he won’t even talk
“Sweetheart plea-se” she said again but he won’t even shake, all he does is breathing
“Is he asleep?” She wondered.
***
Golden br@ins high**
Miley chewed gum as she walked into the school with her minions beside her
“Warren you’re so dead” she said slowly, smiling as they entered the clas-s
She walked straight to Warren’s table and placed her right leg on it, rolling eyes and ma-king the lashes battle each other
“Hey baby” Warren said, standing up
“How dare you sĀ£nd me a morning message?, I don’t even like you” she said and the whole clas-s g@sped
” Another drama this early morning” Eros muttered while Shane pretended like he saw nothing
” You don’t like me, I know, but i like you, so tell me why I shouldn’t do that” Warren said, smiling with one side of his face
“How shameless” Miley replied, pu-lling his tie
” Yeah, I’m shameless, but I can do more worse things when it comes to you” he replied
” He’s crazy” Sydney said
” I know right?” Laurette replied
Miley pu-ll-ed Warren closer with his tie with the intention of talking at his face but he pe-cked her instead
Her eyes wi-de-ned and Warren smiled then she sl@pped him ha-rd
Warren turned the other cheek
“You can sl@p me here too” he smiled
Miley rolled eyes at him before leaving the clas-s furiously with her minions
“That was crazy” Eros said
“You don’t ever get tired of getting sl@pped by her?” Shane said
” Yeah, when this four letter thing it involved” Warren replied
Lunchtime**
” Let’s eat together” Shane said, sitting on Elena’s table
” You mean..in the cafeteria?” She said surprisingly
“Sure, let’s go” he took her hand
” But…
“Shhhh, just follow me, I’m starving” he interrupted and pu-ll-ed her out of the clas-s
Students stared and won’t stĀ©p commenting, both good and bad ones as he held her hand into the cafeteria
He pu-ll-ed out a chair for her and made her sit
“You think he’s in love with her?” Eros asked Warren from where they’re watching them from
“Isn’t it obvious?, exactly how he does when he was with Samantha” Warren smiled
” What should we eat?” Shane asked, sitting on the eating table and pla-ying with her hair
“Um….” Elena said, looking at the students who’re staring but Shane turned her back to himself
“I’m the view, look at only me” he smiled and held her face, he traced her brows with his thumbs just like the other time and her bĀ©dy can’t help but respond to his tĀ©uƧh.
*Ridiculous*
*This is how he does to Samantha when she was still alive*
*They’re cute!*
*Elena is so lucky, I wish I’m in her place*
Students Won’t stĀ©p staring and commenting
“So, what do you say princess?” Shane asked, going from her brows to her cheeks
She even had ba-rely any space to breath or think
“Em… let’s take…. chopped beef and jui-ce” she said awkwardly
” I’ll go get it” he win-ked and went for the food
” My heart will explode at this rate” she thought, tou-ching her che-st
Shane c@mĀ£ back with one plate and a fork with a jui-ce on a tray
“You only bought for me?” She asked as he settled in front of her
“No, for us” he replied, digging the fork into one of the beef chops
“Then?” Elena said
“I’ll feed you” he said
“Huh?”
****
Evening**
Cheryl woke up beside Louis and ru-bbe-d her eyes,not believing she actually sle-pt off
Maybe because she didn’t sleep last night
She looked at the be-d and Louis is still there but…
She stood and checked his breathing by feeling his che-st but it’s not beating
“What?” She asked herself and felt it again but he’s still not breathing
Her eyes wi-de-ned and she screamed his name
“Louis!!!” Louis wake up!, Sweetheart you nee-d to stand up right now!”
She started crying when no movement c@mĀ£ from him
“I haven’t even given birth to my three children, I haven’t received love from you or hear you calling me sweet names plea-se wake up!, Ion even know what to do…I’m ruined!” She screamed, rushing out of the room
She got his phone downstairs and tried calling Dre but it’s off
“Oh gosh!* She said, getting her phone with more tears
” Oh I don’t even have his number” she said and threw down her phone
She paced round the living room, crying loudly for almost ten minutes, thinking she has really lost him
She went back upstairs, walking slowly to his room but shockingly, he’s not on the be-d anymore
“Where did his bĀ©dy go?” She said fearfully, standing beside the be-d and staring at it with tears in her eyes
“Louis!” She called
“Yes?” He replied behind her
She slowly turned back and saw it’s really him with only a towel on his w@!st, he’s just coming out of the bathroom where he took a shower and his face looks more handsome with the hair stuck on it
“Why the tears?” He asked in a calm voice
She answered by taking just three steps to him, she hvgged him ti-ghtly not minding the water on his bĀ©dy
“I thought you were dead when you just suddenly stĀ©pped breathing, I was so scared that I almost went mad, plea-se don’t do it again cos I won’t be able to bear it, I love you very much sweetheart, I love you with all my heart, bĀ©dy and soul, even with my life….. Louis ” she said, di-pping her face in his we-t che-st.
