Chapter 11 Don't Leave Me

The practise ended at 6:30pm. I was starving. If I knew I would be home this late, I wouldn't even come. I hoped mom was home so I wouldn't starve to death. I'm not in the mood to walk home alone. I was indeed scared. Thank God the school bus will send us home. But I'm not really a lucky person. I forgot my phone at the auditorium. Why am I such a clumsy person?!
"Where are you going?" I heard Violet say
"I forgot my phone. Be right back."
"The bus is leaving!" She replied, Worried. I am worried too that I couldn't get home.
"I'll call my mom to get me."
I lied. Even if I called her, she would pick me up one hour later. I'm starving!
"Okay. Take care!"
She said goodbye, and the bus left. My life is so sad. I just have to walk home. Alone. And it's getting dark. Why, oh why?! I reached for the auditorium and saw my phone. Maybe I could call my dad? I was about to hit the call button when suddenly my phone died. Seriously? My life is absolutely stinking. There's nobody at school anymore. It feels haunted when I'm all alone. I was scared. When I saw someone in the school entrance, I run to the person and thank God, I've met an angel!
"Nicolas!"
He eyed me weirdly.
"Can I borrow your phone?"
I said, hoping he would let me borrow his phone. He took out his phone and gave it to me.
"It's dead."
He shrugged. To hell with it. Why did he give me his phone when he knew it was dead?!
"Why are you still at school?"
I asked as I give him his dead phone back.
"Why are you?"
"I forgot my phone and the bus doesn't want to wait." I mutter.
"I went to the bathroom and the bus left." he replied "the bus f*cking leaves without me."
He rolled his eyes. It was getting dark. And I was afraid.
"Um... What are you going to do now?"
I said looking around to make sure there was nothing around. It was cold.
"Walk home. So goodbye."
I was about to cry when he left me here alone. I'm absolutely scared. When I noticed he was nowhere in sight, I cried. I don't know. I was just scared. The dark atmosphere is scaring me. How am I supposed to get home now? I freaking cried because I didn't know how I was going to get home. It's absolutely dark already, and I didn't know what time it was.
"Why are you crying?"
I heard someone say and cried even more. There's nobody here, and I heard voices.
HELP
"Rosa?"
When I looked up, I saw Nicolas staring at me weirdly. I was so scared that I didn't know what I was doing. I ran to him and hugged him. He was startled.
"I thought you'd left without me."
I cried. He stayed silent. He coughs. "fake cough" I have to say. "Let's get going. It's getting dark. Why do you think I'm going to leave you alone at this creepy school? Stupid."
Well, at least he cared, and it was all that mattered.
"Sorry."
"Come on! Don't expect me to carry you home because I won't." He is still annoying, though. But thank God he didn't leave. Or else I would cry to death waiting for someone to save me. We kept on walking. I wasn't feeling very good. I was starving. My head is getting dizzy. I stopped in my tracks. He kept on walking. I wanted to call his name, but I was dizzy. I saw him have three heads. I'm going insane.
"Are you alright?"
I could still hear him speaking.
"I'm spinning."
I heard him saying, "What?" and after that, everything went black.
I woke up with a headache. My head hurts and I'm starving. When I finally realised where I was, I was confused. This is not my room! I was beginning to worry. Did someone kidnap me? school? Why am I still in bed? Ohmygod. Why am I wearing different clothes? ohmygod!I was about to cry again when someone entered the room. I was startled.
"You're awake."
Nicolas said, raising an eyebrow. I stared at him in horror. Did he...
"Oii before you start thinking anything weird. Marie, changed your clothes."
He rolled his eyes. So whose clothes am I wearing? Plus, it's too big for me. And it smelled like Nicolas. Wait. Why do I even know what he smelled like?
"Um... why am I here?" I am confused. What the heck happened? He stared at me weirdly.
"You are probably hungry." Come on. He leaves the room. What? I hurriedly go to his bathroom and wash my face. I'm wearing his shirt? Oh my god! I brushed my teeth, not minding if I was using his toothbrush. I walked downstairs and saw him with an apron around his waist. cute. Is he cooking? It smelled so nice.
"Eat. I don't want you to die here." He glared at me. I took a seat and took a bite of what the heck he cooked. It tastes delicious. I notice he is staring at me.
"Why are we not at school?" I asked, feeling a bit nervous.
"Because of you, stupid."
Huh?
"I don't really get it."
My cheeks felt warm suddenly when I noticed there was nobody home. And he was with me. cooking for me. Ohmygod! Is this heaven?

    This is a good and nice book. The plot twist is so WOW. So many unexpected circumstances and I like how the story ends. What a rollercoaster ride of emotion. You guys must read this story. Now, I browse into your work and start to read the "Love me, Love me not." Thank you for sharing your work here.

    I’m not a fan of this work at first that’s why I’ve been putting off starting it so long but it gets a lot better as it goes, I can assure you that! And now, this book has become one of my favourite. I really enjoy reading and I highly recommend this. I have no complaints. “Youth” love sure do brings back a lot of memories 😆 and I really love the setting, it’s cute and wholesome, I have butterflies in my stomach the whole time. Still, I wish there’s more of this book...
