CHAPTER 15

While in the cab Alice stared at Oliver again and again. She was very upset that Oliver actually got into a fight with Victor and even lost.

"What?" Oliver noticed her stares and asked.

"You are asking?" Alice replies with a question clearly upset.

"Of course. Aren't you the one staring at me like I did something wrong?" His questions got Alice aggravated. 'Why is he acting like nothing happened?" She thought to herself .

"Oh! So you did nothing. You just got into a fight and got yourself beaten up pretty badly. That's nothing right?" Oliver didn't want to admit that he actually got beaten up do to a lot of overconfidence. He even felt he was being mommed by her. She was literally nagging him like his mom would.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh!" Was all Oliver said.

'What sort of kid is this? His girlfriend is clearly worried about him and he's ignoring it' The driver thought to himself and smiled. He stared at the mirror to look at them and quickly fixed his eyes to the road and kept on driving.

"Oliver why did you get into a fight with him again?" She asked gently.

"Because I wanted to teach him a lesson..." his voice trailed off realizing he was the one who was taught a lesson.

"But you got hurt instead" Her tone was soft, she stared at his wounds and touched his swollen cheek.

"Ish!" Came a pained sound from Oliver.

"Oh, it hurts. Am sorry" she spoke anxiously when she realized his wound hurt.

"It's okay" He said and smiled.

"It's my fault. It's all because of me. Am so..." Oliver cut her short coldly realize she was going to start with her self blame again.

"Keep quiet! Nothing is your fault." He didn't realize he made her feel even more guilty by saying that. She felt he always made him protect her because she was too weak. She was silent throughout the rest of the ride to his house and Oliver was too.

When they arrived his home Oliver opened the door and tried getting out himself, but Alice was faster, she quickly got out through the other side and help him out.

"It's not that serious though. Am fine and I can walk on my own." Oliver tried to ease her worries but she didn't care anyways. As she was about to pay the cab driver, the driver spoke;

" Young love! I also met my wife when I was in high school. Let me tell you one thing, love from young last eternity. So young man, keep her and stop letting her get worried about you. Okay?" When he finished speaking, he collected the money and drove away without letting them explain that they weren't lovers.

Oliver came from a wealthy family so as expected he didn't leave in an apartment like Alice. There were a lot of flowers planted around the big white gate, the mansion, was colored white and grey. There was a huge black door at the entrance of the mansion, with traces of white designs on it. (Y'all can picture the rest yourselves. Thank you)

Alice rang the bell of the mansion and before they knew it Mrs. Evelyn opened the door.

"Oh my God! What happened to you?" Mrs. Evelyn exclaimed and quickly assisted Alice in getting him to the most comfortable couch.

"Clara! Get the first aid box!" Mrs. Evelyn called one of the maids. Alice then stood by side. Just then Oliver's mom came down the stairs and saw Oliver.

"Who did this to my baby?" His mom spoke angrily.

"It was my..." before Alice could finish Oliver quickly explained.

"It's nothing mom, I got into a fight with some guys over basketball and things got messy cause I didn't take the fight seriously." Well that was obviously a lie though but he had to because he didn't want Alice to take the blame.

"You call this nothing? See how hurt you are. Am calling the principal right now." When Oliver heard that , he quickly tried to stop his mom.

"No no no! Mom don't call. I told you it's my fault. I started the fight, so you'll just be putting me in trouble instead."
