Chapter 21: Jeremy and I are together.

Jeremy POV

What just happened?

Laila just took off. I tried to recall everything but I can't figure out what I said wrong.

"Malarkey?" Clarisse said as she entered Laila's office. "What are you doing here? Where's Laila?"

"She ran off." I simply answered.

"What do you mean ran off? What did you do this time?" She glared at me as if I had always done something wrong.

"I don't know. I just said I brought her her favorite food and that I also bought strawberries for her mom"

"You said what?" Clarisse shrieked at me. She then plopped down the chair like she was having a heart attack. "Have you forgotten that her parents are off limit topics for her."

"What are you talking about?" I'm confused with everything.

She looked at me as if I had grown two heads. "Oh God. You really don't have a clue don't you? Tell me, what is it you know about her parents?"
