Chapter 7: Help me

The day ends without him finding her . Where did that woman go? He ask himself.. Upon thinking about that woman, he remembers her poem entitled "The fragile soul". It's quiet mysterious though.

.........….

" Hey! What happen to you yesterday? Are you okay?" The woman bluntly ask her after she settled on her seat.

"I didn't know we're that close for me to report to you" She coldly answer without looking at her. The woman beside her didn't push it anymore.

"I'm just worried"

"you don't have to" The woman say that in a low voice but she heard it.

She is actually not feeling good because of her arm who was hit with a bat yesterday while fighting with those thug.

After her 2nd class, she went straight to the bathroom but someone grab her injured arm and so she flinched and carefully hold her arm with a painful expression. She wants to cry but she hold it pretty well. The man who suddenly grabs her hand saw it and immediately loosen his grip.

"I'm sorry." She didn't say a word and left while holding her arm.. The man just look at her back.

She went inside the last cubicle in the restroom and let her tears flow while enduring the pain caused by the sudden grip a while ago.

"That psyco."

After calming herself, she went straight to the gym and get change to her PE uniform. The last time, they had their swimming, so now, they are going to learn baseball. Every other day, they are learning sports alternatively. Last meeting is swimming so now would be baseball. She went straight to the oval and wait for the instructor. She used an elbow guard not as a protection but as a cover to her wounds. She don't want anyone to see her hurting, she hates to let other people see her weakness. After minutes, the instructor gather them around and instruct them what to do including their teams. After giving the basic rules and regulations of the game, he then now give the go signal. She will be the catcher of her team.

With every hit of the ball in the gloves she's wearing gives her pain but she needs too endure that. She cannot allow anyone to see through her so she wear a cold expression as a cover to the pain she feels.

Now, it is time for her to be the batter. She exercise her shoulder and elbow but she felt an excruciating pain. She close her eyes and take a deep breath. She holds the bat hard and hoping it will go smoothly. She is nervous but people cannot see that since her expression is gloomy.

The coach whistled and she meticulously watch the ball but as she swing her arm, she felt a crack sound from her elbow so her hand unconsciously throw the bat and it landed on the man who was passing by. Everyone gasped after looking at the man who was hit on the head. He caresses the part where it hit him and look at the direction where it came from and saw the woman holding her arm. He suddenly felt his blood boiling thinking that the woman meant to harm him.

No one notice her pain. They thought, she don't know how to play and even smirked at her. Inside their mind is..

"HUUHHHH.. ! good for her, Draven will never let her go." Upon hearing that, Fatima approach the woman because she's worried. Even when Jilliana doesn't care to look at her as friend, she already treat her like her sister.

"Are you okay?" but before she answer her,, Draven already close the gap between her and hardly grip her left arm with anger in his eyes to which she didn't take the excruciating pain anymore from his grip and flinched. Fatima was about to get in between but Draven look at her with Don't-you-dare look so she didn't do anything but stand there and hope nothing will happen. The coach saw what is happening so he approach them.

"Mr. Lim, please let her go.. she didn't mean to" The coach was trying his best to convince him but he doesn't seem so interested with the people around them.

Jillianna tried to use her strength to get rid from his grip but the more she does that, the more he tighten his grip,

"P..leas..e, let go…" She tried to plead because she cannot stand the pain anymore.

"No, you tried to hurt me so why would I let you go?" He answered.

"Mr. Lim, …..Please, there are lot of students around, can we talk about it in my office?" Draven look at him coldly.

The students are waiting for a good show with grins on their faces since they hate her cocky attitude. They want to witness her getting embarrass in public. But before Draven even say a word he notice her facial expression and feel a liquid thing flowing from the arm he's holding. His anger suddenly drop and look at her face. She is sweating, her eyes are not vibrant anymore but full of pain, her skin becomes pail and her lips are as white as snow. He look at the arm and saw blood. His eyes widen.

Before he even say a word, the woman already fainted but before she fell on his shoulder she uttered her last words.

"Help me" ...
