Chapter 110: 110
"Chloe you are going to class, right?" One of my friends asked while I was writing my notes.
"Yeah, I’m coming", I said while picking up my cold coffee.
"Wait! Let’s go together", I said and followed her.
As I reached inside my class, I found so many new faces.
"Who are they?" I asked.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. This class is combined with the second-year students", as she said I claimed and went to sit in my seat. Soon the teacher came and started teaching but I saw something unusual.
"Hey, where are you looking?" I asked my friend as she kept on looking at my direction.
"Oye, don’t make a sound or I will be busted", she sush me.
"But why?" I whispered.
She pointed at my side and said, "Look, can you see the person?"
I slowly looked without letting them know I’m looking in their direction and saw a guy was sitting in that place and he looked quite decent and innocent as well.
"Yeah, I saw so what’s with him?" I asked again.
"I heard he is the most famous senior in this entire place. I even know he is not in any relationship", she said while I turned toward him again.
But somehow our eye met and he buried his face in the book making me look flushed In Front of him. I have no idea what happened but he seems like a shy person. Even his ears were so freaking red making it seem as if he has crush on me.
"I don’t care if he has any relationship or not." I said and tried to get up as the class finished but my friend followed me.
"Chloe, listen to me!"
I have zero idea why she is behaving like this today.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Actually, I talked with his friend and I made a promise that I will let you talk with him today." as she said my anger burst.
"Emmy", I took her name.
"Yes?"
"You know what? I don’t understand you at all." I rubbed my temple.
"What are you...
Before she continued any further, I stopped her.
"You understand what I’m saying but you just don’t want to understand it."
"Did I ever tell you to set me up?"
"Did I ever tell you to find a boyfriend for me?"
"I didn’t, right?"
"Then why are you doing it?" I shouted attracting everyone’s attention but soon I saw the senior coming out of the class and looked at me.
"I may have come at the wrong time" he said and started walking away but Emmy stopped him and brought him toward me. I don’t know why she is doing this to me but I have been losing my brain cells.
"Sorry for doing it suddenly but I can say he is a good guy so why don’t you try it out?" Why is she being such a pushover for god’s sake?
As he was with me Emmy ran away from the place and we both walked toward the canteen but no one said anything until we reached there.
"Chloe?" he took my name while I was ordering for mine.
"Yes?" I wasn’t even looking at him.
But as the waiter left, he said, "You know I don’t like when you talk with someone in my presence of mine."
He looked down, making me feel as if I offended him. I felt bad but I apologized. But he didn’t give me a chance to speak but hold my hand.
"Chloe, I don’t know what you feel about me but I love you."
"I have been looking at you for six months now and I can’t say how much you have grown into me."
"Each time I cross this class I see you smile which makes my heart flutter but I don’t think I can hold on anymore so....
Will you go out with me?"
He finally asked. This is what I’m scared of. I never want to come across any confession because I feel bad with rejection but when I looked at my past it kept telling me to give him a chance. It kept on whispering to start a new present.
"Chloe, don’t lose this chance."
"Yes Chloe, you can be happy so choose this innocent boy."
Their voices kept continuing in my head.
"Your name?" I finally asked.
"Oh, sorry I should have introduced myself before." he said and wiped his sweat off from his palm.
"I’m Liam Smith." he extended his hand for a handshake while I did too.
"Please take good care of me", I said, bringing a smile to his face.
***
I woke up from my sleep.
"Why did I see this in my dream today?"
"Is this because he came back?"
I mumbled to myself while massaging my temple.
"Chloe, you wake up?" Mom asked.
I nodded. I don’t even have the strength to speak properly.
I’m tired.
"Take your medications", she said and give me the tablet and glass of water.
"And yes, your phone was ringing for a while. I think it was silent so you didn’t hear but check it." mom said and left while I checked the number and it was James again.
Why is he calling me so impatiently?
When I left the place, he didn’t dare to stop me but why now? Has he lost it?
I still picked up the phone and called back.
I can hear his fast breathing.
"Can’t you receive your phone for once?" he said while trying hard to breathe.
"No, I can’t so get to the point." I said while yawning.
"What’s the point? I’m worried for you. I want to talk to you. I want to listen to your voice so answer my calls when I call." he said, making me laugh.
"Why?" I asked again.
"What do you mean why?" he asked.
"James, we are not in the phase we were in." I said while my tears were coming out of my eyes.
"What phase?" he asked.
"James, you don’t remember or you are just acting that you don’t remember? Please stop annoying me when I already have enough stress driving insane." I shouted.
"I’m not trying to..." his voice was low.
"Then don’t contact me if you don’t want your child to be dead", I don’t know why this left my lips but I did it.
"Child to be dead? Chloe what is going on? Tell me... I want to know." he kept on repeating but when I tried to say I heard dad’s voice.
"Your friend came", he said, making me thud on the floor.
"No no it can’t be" I mumbled. I forgot to hang up on the call too.
"No, he can’t come here. No, I can’t let it happen", I locked the door of my room and hid in a corner.
"Chloe, open the door", I heard his voice.
"Yeah, Chloe opens the door, your friend came here to see you and it isn’t appropriate to behave this way with him", dad said, which made me get up from the floor and open the door when I was sweating hard.
"Ok now you two talk", dad left while he opened the door and came inside.
He even locked the door from inside, making me scared as hell.
"You shouldn’t have run away from me, Chloe", he touched my face.
"D-don’t do this", I stuttered.
"What? I’m not doing anything to you." he touched my neck as well then sat on my bed.
"So, you lied to me?" he said and looked here and there.
"W-what?" I asked.
"Don’t act. I heard you are with a baby", as he said I feel goosebumps.
"How could you have a baby when it is not mine? Huh! You sure don’t want that right? My dear Chloe?" As he said, I wasn’t able to utter a single word.
"So, make sure to come to this address. Let me get rid of this trash from you." he said and walked toward the door making me relieved but he stopped there.
"Don’t think I’m going so you survived. But make sure to come to the address unless you want me to come here daily and tell your parents about our relationship", he said but why am I getting scared? `` Even if my parents know about my past relationship, I don’t care, so why am I getting threatened right now? Why?
"I w-will be there", I said while he left.
I have no idea what I am even doing but this guy is the nightmare of my life.
Years ago, Emy, who I thought of as my friend, brought this person to me and now my parents are doing the same, killing me each second of my life.
"You can do this, Emy."
"After this evening everything will disappear. He will not do anything to me if I listen and this is the way I can save my child too."
"Yeah, I can do it."
