IT'S OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY

I really didn't expect her to defend me back there, I watched as she held my hands and kept walking. I had to stop her since she was already dragging me out of the school.

"Brianna, I need to get my car"

"Oh I totally forgot about that, why don't we take a bus instead, you can't possibly drive in this state"

"Am fine" I was still surprised with her reaction from earlier.

"No you are not, do you want to die of nose bleeding?"

"How come you are so worried about me, you even defended me few minutes ago?"

"What, who said am worried about you?" She said letting go off my hand.

"Can you keep holding my hands?"

"Why should I do that, you are not even an infant who can't walk on his own so take responsible for your own self" she said walked off.

"Brianna, Brianna" I called after her.

"What!"

"My car is not packed that way, is this way" I said leading the way. Soon we were on the road, I wasn't planning on going to the clinic.

I want to take her to my house and have her cook me dinner, but am thinking we have to fight over it and see who will win.

"Dax, you are going the wrong way. The GPS said you should go left"

"I know"

"So?" She asked.

"I want us to go to a different clinic" I replied her but she gave me the look that defines nothing but suspicion.

"Then why did you allow me to put a different locations when you know you wanted to visit a different clinic?"

"It slipped my mind"

"Dax" she called my name like she was warning me of something.

"What?" I asked still trying to pretend I don't know what is going on.

"Are we heading to your house?" She asked glaring at me, oh boy she figured it out.

"I can't believe you noticed"

"Why wouldn't I notice, I have been here before remember"

"But it was just one time"

"Did you lie when you said we should go to the clinic together?"

"I just wanted to spend sometime with you" I replied her not wanting to answer her question. She looked pissed off, I sighed in frustration as she kept looking at me with a deadly stare.

"Dax, stop this car" she said.

"Brianna please just come with me, the weather is not also looking bright, it might rain"

"That should have been more reason for you to go to the clinic and get yourself checked so I can go home"

"Don't go, please just go home with me"

"I said you should stop this car or I will cause an accident for the both of us" with that look in her eyes I knew she will do something stupid if I don't stop the car.

"I can't believe you were worried about me few seconds ago and now you are threatening my life" I packed at the side of the road waiting for her to storm out but she didn't.

"Get down, we are both going to that clinic across the road"

"But I....."

"Say but again and I will knock you out then drag you across the street if I have to" I knew that instant that I should zip my mouth and follow her or I will be in trouble.

Gia's POV

I can't believe it, I just can't believe she made us stop just to get an ice-cream. And Eric even did as she asked, what is she, a child?. I kept sighing every now and then. Eric made us both wait for him across the street as he went to buy the ice-cream per required by his girlfriend.

"You know if you keep that expression on your face I will start thinking that you are jealous" Mary said to me and I rolled my eyes at her.

"I wonder why you have to be senseless, you made us stop just to get an ice-cream and to think the weather is not looking good"

"Did you just say am senseless?"

"Do I have to scream it on your face before you know?"

"Oh really, so what about you who killed her mother?" Immediately she said that I felt like strangling her.

"Don't you ever talk about my mum like that again you bitch" I said breathing hard.

"What are you going to do, beat me? Oh shut up, you are the bitch around here. Your mum died while giving birth to you, do you even know what that means" she asked, I felt like someone stabbed a knife into my heart as tears run down my face.

"You are a bad luck, I wonder how your father feels about this, if I were him I would have dumped you a long time ago. I want you to stay away from Eric as much as possible so your bad luck won't rob off on him"

Every of her words felt as painful as ever, I didn't kill my mother. Life just decided to be unfair to me. As much as I want to convince myself I didn't do it I just can't.

I never celebrated my birthday because it was also the day my mother died. I mean who on earth is supposed to be happy on the day her mother died.

"What is going here?" I heard Eric ask behind me. Mary rush to him pushing me out of the way. I fell hitting my leg on the ground.

"Mary, why did you do that?"

"I didn't mean to, and she was standing on my way"

"Gia are you okay?" Eric asked helping me up, I couldn't reply him because I just lost my voice and words. I looked up at him and pushed his hands off me as I stormed off.

Eric's POV

"What is wrong with you, why are you acting like a child when you are an adult?"

"You can't possibly be angry at me I didn't do anything to her"

"I heard everything you said to her, what about you is your mum perfect? Do you even know who your dad is? How come you don't share the same father with your sister?"

"How can you say these to me, because of that bit..."

"Her name is Gia, and don't ever appear on my face again, we are done"

"What? You are breaking up with me because of her? You have feelings for her don't you?"

"That is none of your business, just because I choose to deal with a nonsense like you doesn't give you the right to hurt the people I care about"

"You will regret this, no one breaks up with me. I should be the one breaking up with you not the other way round" she screamed but I ignored her and went after Gia.

Where is she, I thought she was here few minutes ago. I stopped a taxi give him her address, I can't believe Mary said that to her.

Gia's POV

I walked through the street without caring about my environment. I couldn't get Mary's words off my head. I couldn't help thinking that maybe my dad really blamed me for my mothers death.

We never had the daughter and father relationship, I don't even remember the last time I saw him, it should be six or five months ago.

He gave me one of his black cards to buy anything I want but he was never there, all he knows was work, work, and work.

When the rain started pouring I didn't bother to look for a shelter I just let it wash a little of my sorrows away. I walked all the way home, getting to my house I saw Eric standing outside, he was drenched.

What is he doing here? Shouldn't he be with his girlfriend? I decided to pretend I didn't see him, I walked past him entering inside. I wanted so much to close the gate but I just couldn't. I closed the gate and rushed inside grabbing him an umbrella.

"Here, you should go home or you will end up catching cold" I said placing the umbrella on his hand turning to leave.

"You didn't kill your mum, am sorry she said those words to you" his words made me stop, I couldn't take another step. I turned and stared at him, so he heard everything Mary said.

"And how will you know, your life is perfect. You have your mum, your dad and your sister to love you, but everyone who loves me dreft away or die"

"You are not a bad luck, your Mum died while giving birth to you but it wasn't your fault, so don't ever blame yourself" he said coming close to, his words kind of comforted me.

I was surprised when he hugged me, he kept caressing my her. I was so tensed having him that close to me given the facts that we are both wet.

"If you want to cry then cry, is okay not to be okay, so just let it go" his words helped me relax as the tears run down my face.
