Chapter 43- ‘So who is this ‘Andrew’?’

This was the second time she was hurt like this, she was not a part of a gang or anything so, what was all this, his eyes started to tear up, seeing that Lorrin was not opening her mouth, he let her go took the stuff he brought and headed to the kitchen without another word, staring at him and reading his actions, Lorrin knew she messed up bad, when he looked at her in her eyes, she was just thrown in guilt, she didn't know how to explain that, this was not accidental but conscious, slowly his eyes started to tear up, he was not crying but, his eyes were moist, he was done, he had given up on expecting Lorrin to keep the promise, this was the second time, he would have been able to brush off if it was something lighter than before but, no it was worse than before, he just walked away and Lorrin was left regretting her actions and being unable to find a way to tell him the darn story, the apartment was quieter than before, both of them were silent, John was cooking and he was indeed making her some burgers, looking at him work so hard without any word, and being clumsy, which was never his personality just told Lorrin to what extent she had disappointed him, she felt shittier than before, Lorrin just sat in the chair watching him, she knew she had to open her mouth to give him an explanation, she had thought about it so hard and knew how she would break the story to him in accordance to his reply, if angry- she would tell the story in a pitiful way and if sad- she would tell the story as calmly as possible but, she didn't decide how she would react to this situation, she didn't expect this, now she just had to blurt it out without a plan, she needed to say it out, she was afraid of the fact she would blurt out something more of the story something she wouldn't want him to know, she was troubled and worried as to how this situation will proceed, they can't remain silent like this.

'You are very good cook; this burger is bomb and OUCH!' (Lorrin)*screams*

John just saw her struggling to hold the burger, using her bandaged arm and left hand, he got up and helped her hold her burger using her left hand, Lorrin thought that he would help her by feeding her but, he went back and continued his meal, Lorrin knew her expectations was stupid and just kept the burger down, she needed to open her damn mouth,

'I am Sorry, it was I, I punched the car window in anger, they took out the tiny and big pieces of glass out of my hands, I need to go for a checkup again tomorrow, what happened was..' (Lorrin)

'Lorrin, do you really wanna speak or are you just forcing yourself?' (John)*cutting in*

Lorrin just stared at John and continued to talk,

'I wanna talk' (Lorrin)*firm*

'Speak, tell me what the hell happened?' (John)*relieved*

'That, there is this girl in our class she has been intruding my space a lot, like where ever I go she is there, I was already super pissed about it, she even sat near me in the library, when we came out she said she wanted to talk to me, I was not interested in that so I was rude to her, I did get rid of her but, Andrew insisted that I talk to her so, I calmed down and did talk to her cause I needed to know why she was stalking me, she brought up about the rumors, I have suffered from them so much from last year till now I got super annoyed, pissed and angry, there are so many people around me who spread shit about me, there are enough rumors about me, me being a prostitute to me being a psychopath, I didn't want to talk about that shit but again Andrew made me sit and listen to her, that girl was the first person to spread rumors about me, it was two years ago, that time I was not a villain or a trash but, a girl loved and adored so that shit hit me so hard, I cried every freaking night for a whole month till the rumors subsided, it was the most hellish time in my life, that time I thought nothing worse could happen in this life worser than this, that, was the extent, she was that shitty person, that trash I hated and almost felt like killing and torturing her but, I was the good girl so I just dealt with it like a good girl, but now that I look back and see my anger never subsided, after looking at her my anger came back, I remembered that after those shitty incident happened that, rumor was the one that made every shit worse and backed all the fake rumors about me, that shitty rumors was the foundation that supported every rumor about, I raised my hand to slap her, Andrew , at this point I don't even know if he thinks of me as a friend, he stopped me, *speeding up and eating the words*I was too angry so I punched the car window, that is why my hand is like this.' (Lorrin)

At this point Lorrin was again teary and almost crying, John gave her a tight hug and said,

'How bout we kick her ass?' (John)*smiles*

'What?' (Lorrin)*surprised*

'Take a revenge, you know.' (John)*calm*

Lorrin started to laugh, who is this man?, she was astonished, she didn't expect him to react like this but, for some reason all her anger seemed to have washed away, she was not crying now but, laughing like a little girl and looking at her John just felt relaxed, after some ideas of the so called 'revenge', John finally asked the question he was itching to ask since, before,

'So who is this 'Andrew'?' (John)*curios*

'Ohh, you don't know him?' (Lorrin)*shocked*

'How would I know if you never shared about him, I thought you had only one friend, Jen.' (John)*sincere*

'I am not that loner.' (Lorrin)*pouting*

'I know I know, so, who is that guy?' (John)*curious*

'Why don't you meet him tomorrow?' (Lorrin)*chill*

'Yup, no problem' (John)*excited*

And that is how John slowly started to intrude in the life of Lorrin.
