Louise's POV

"Can we talk?"

I was surprised when Kayla came up to me and asked me that. Never thought she would be willing to talk to me again after what she said.

"Now?"

"After school. Meet me at the cafe." She said and left. Just like that.

What does she want now?

"Is she trying to get you now?" I heard Wade and turned to look at him but since I too don't know the answer I shrugged.

"If she asked you to, will you say yes?"

Sean asked and I looked at him. A strange feeling started to rose in my chest. The feeling I felt when she rejected me that day.

She told me she wasn't interested me.

"Hey man, forget what I said. "

"Yeah dude. And please ,if she asks you something like that reject her. Tit for tat right?"

I chuckled at them and nodded. We started to go back our classes and I was once again filled with the depressing feeling of rejection.

If only it wasn't her. If only I would have stopped earlier when I knew I had no chance. It was obvious from the start. No matter what I did, she just want interested.

The school ended with me still acting like a crazy heartbroken person.

And then I remembered I have to meet her at the cafe.

What a day. Huh!

It all started with that asshole. I hope he rot in hell.

Getting in my car I drove to the cafe and saw her car already parked there. I parked my car and walked inside the cafe.

I won't stay for long. Lets end this today.

No Marcus and no Kayla. If I want a better life ,both them should be out of it.

"Hey" I said to her as she looked up at me.

"Hey. Sit please."

I nodded and sat in front of her.

"I've ordered for us already,I hope you don't mind. "

"We'll see." I mumbled.

"What?"

"Nothing." I said and looked at her again. She looked a little nervous and was looking anywhere but me. " You wanted to talk."

"Um? Yeah. I - I actually ." She started but the waiter got between to deliver our drinks and I sighed. I took my drink which was least favourite and took a few sips.

" I wanted to apologise!"

I chocked on the drink and could it burn my nostrils. I took the tissue paper to get rid of the embarrassing moment and coughed , taking a few sips of the drink to subside the cough.

"What?" I asked shocked and she looked at me with a guilty look.

"I know it's all of a sudden. I mean--i was acting like a total bitch." She said taking her seat back and I looked at her strangely. "That day.. not only for that day ,but for all this time. I'm really sorry. But I had my reasons."

"Reasons? For making a fool of me all that time. If you were not interested in me,you could have told me from the start, but you kept silent until that day." I said angrily.

She made me look like a to for two years for God sake!

"It's not only my fault. You were reason I did that."

"Okay. Wait. All this time ,I was chasing you and you keep turning blind eye all because of me?! That's ridiculous!"

"It's so good to see young lovers fighting."

"We are not lovers!!"

"We are not lovers!!"

I grumbled to myself about how ridiculous and useless this was and started walking outside.

"Louise! Listen to me!"

I flipped her a middle finger and walked to my car and my mood turned sour at the deja vu moment.

" Hey Darling~"

I groaned and sat in my car . Not responding to him, I decided to get away from there. I could feel his stares on my face while I was driving and then he spoke again.

"No calling names today? "

"Shouldn't you be at your house?"

"I escaped."

"Why the hell did you escape! Don't you value your life! That person who shot you could be anywhere trying to hurt you again ." I sighed after shouting at him. It's of no use. "Forget it. I'm dropping you back to your mansion. And don't ever show me your face again."

" What's with you today? Why are you acting like this?" He asked as he turned his face to look ahead. I didn't answer him and kept driving. I don't know where to but the thing is ,I'm really frustrated after listening to Kayla .

All she did was because of me? Me?

I was quite disturbed to think rationally and went over the speed limit, passing vehicles, ignoring red lights. I wanted let the anger out ,I felt like beating someone, or breaking something,to be honest I felt like I was the one whose gonna break down today.

My eyes started to sting and I felt tears rolling down my face.

" Louise. Hey,Stop the car. Louise. Louise! LOUISE!! STOP THIS BLOODY DAMN CAR, RIGHT NOW!!"

I stepped on the break harshly as the car screeched over the road ,loud horns were blaring at us as the car suddenly came to a stop.

My knuckles were turning white from my tight grip on the wheel, car horns were making my head hurt, everything around me felt strangely unknown,I was suffocated.

"-uise--ouise-- Louise. Can you hear me? Are you okay?" I heard someone say and I turned to Marcus, he reached his hand toward me holding my hand on the wheel. "Hey. Are you okay? Is everything alright?"

"I - I'm not okay."

I don't why I said that to him, but I was glad I did.

Soon I was pulled to his body as he wrapped his arms around me and gently rubbed my back.

"it's alright. Everything will be fine. Just calm down ,okay." I nodded in his arms and he placed his hand on head. " How about this, we go somewhere away from anywhere you know of. You can cool down there. I'll be with you,if you want you can talk to me, I know I'm bad at comforting but I'm a real good listener you see."

"Hmm" I wrapped my hands around him letting him comfort me. He was really bad with words but I felt safe in his arms and it's like the last time,when we were by the pool and I told him about my grandfather.

"You know I'm hurt right? You squeezing me with your cute hug is not helping." I blushed and pulled away while pushing him and wiped my tears away in order hide the blush.

"Jerk ."

"Admit it. You like me." He said as he started to walk out of the car and I heard the loud horns from the car behind us.

"Where are you go-"

"What the hell is wrong with you? Don't you know it's dangerous to stop the car in the middle of the road!"

"I'm sorry. My boyfriend had a little breakdown." I head Marcus tell the person and laugh while I was cursing st him from inside the car.

That's two times now!! First to the doctor then a random stranger on the road.

Is he fucking crazy or just like telling people I'm his boyfriend which I'm not!

He came around the car only to push me to passanger seat and sit on the driver's seat.

"When did I become your boyfriend?"

"After you kissed me that day." He said with a smirk and the look on his face made me blush. Just why did I kiss him that day.

Right. I was still half asleep when I did that.

"You're an asshole." I said and turned to look straight as he started the car and i watched the scenery change to a familiar road to his mansion.
