Chapter - 275

Hold

Keifer's POV

"Ci..." I called him in a
low tone. He turned around and faced me. "Bat?" "Let's talk." I said and walked away from the clinic. Almost all
of them were inside the clinic and waiting for the nurse to say something. I chose to stay outside a distance
rom them. That's where I saw Ci-N who couldn't enter because our friends were blocking the door. She
ollowed me until we were far from the clinic. I stopped when I was sure no one could hear me. "What's that?"
He asked innocently. "How long will you woo Jay-jay?" "Until he forgives me." He answered quickly and smiled
slightly. He looked proud of his answer. I couldn't help but smile. I definitely choose the right person to talk to.
"I'm leaving." His smile immediately wiped out. "Ha?" "I have to go back to London. It's about my inheritances."
I explained briefly. "La! What about Jay-jay?" His eyes widened at me. "...You haven't even apologized to him
yet. Maybe he'll find someone else. Then he'll get pregnant. Then they'll always fight because he's cursed.
Then they'll get a divorce. Then his fatherless child will be a boy! Then we'll see him again! Then he'll look for
you because he still loves you but it's not possible because you're already married to someone else!" He said
almost holding his breath. I cross my arms and look at him in disbelief. Where did he get that idea? What he's
saying is so far from possible. Like I'm letting Jay-jay be with another man. And why has it reached the point
where I'm already married to someone else? That one is impossible. I wouldn't agree to marry someone else if
he didn't either. "Wow... With your super intelligence, you've already predicted the future." I said in a sarcastic
tone. He made a peace sign and smiled broadly. "Maybe..." "That's why I'll leave her with you. Make sure her
safety and make sure there's no po-forma on her." I sighs. "...I already have a headache with Yuri and David,
maybe it'll get worse if I leave." He looked at me in surprise while lowering his hand. "Why even David?" He
rowned! He don't have a clue that his dearest partner in crime is having a googly- eyed to Jay-jay. While
they're always together and the three of them used to be together. Maybe his too occupied to notice it.
"Nothing." My answer in plain tone. He looks down while playing with his fingers. I saw his lips pouted a bit.
"When are you leaving?" He asked in a sad tone. "Maybe after your birthday." I answer and his mood lightened
up. I know he's worried about whether I'll make it to the big day of his life. I remember before that I was the
first one he called to remind me of his birthday party. I suddenly remember the first time I talked to him. He
was like a lost puppy in our classroom. It was really impossible that he came to us just because of a simple
star. And because of his height, the boys decided to make fans of him. They also took advantage of his talent.
He's the one who does all the assignments. I don't care about him at first. But everyday watching him reminds
me of someone. He reminds me of Percy. The childish act and smart thinking. I feel like I've found his
reincarnation . Maybe because I'm also missing my friend who I thought was dead, I can't help but not go to
him. Even Yuri was surprised by what I did. And we became friends. He starts to idolize me-which I found
weird. He also follows my footsteps thinking that he can be strong like me. He even studied taekwondo or
karate when he found out that I know few of that. He learned how to fight and started joining us in street. His
older brother totally disagreed but he can't do anything about it. Ci-N badly wants to belong to us. We became
closer and sometimes he even reminded me of my younger brother Keigan. Sometimes I even changed their
names when I called one of them. "You really love Jay-jay, right?" He asks that put me back in reality. I smile
shortly as an answer. "You're just a lab, why did you do that?" "I can't say that yet. But you're the safest bridge
of communication that I have for her." He scratches his head. "What if she comes looking for me? What would
I say?" "Don't you know how to lie?" He bites his lips while smiling. "No." I don't seem to know the answer to my
own question. He's talkative. He'll definitely tell Jay-jay everything. I can only tell Ci like a fool. "That's fine. As
long as I can trust you, I will not care how you will keep secrets." "Come back soon, okay? Jay-jay is so
pathetic when you're gone for so long." He sounds begging. I nodded shortly. "I'll talk to the others about my
departure too. But I'm giving you a different job. Make sure your line is always open so I can call you anytime."
He suddenly straightened up after saluting like a soldier. "Yes sir! Yes!" He shouts in a baritone voice. I looked
at our friends arriving. Rory was the first one, followed by Edrix and Blaster. I looked at them plainly. "I hope
nothing bad happens to him." Edrix said. "...I still feel like it's my fault." Rory just nodded to me while Edrix
continued to walk, bowing. Blaster looked at me shortly before continuing to walk. I saw Kit and her
approaching , trying to keep away from Mayo followed by Eren. They looked at me for a moment then looked
at Ci who still didn't move from where he was standing. "Is Jay-jay pregnant?" I heard Denzel. I raised one
eyebrow when I noticed that everyone else was looking at me. "Why are you asking me that?" I asked sounds
irritated. "Who was planning this?" David asked sarcastically. "Nothing happened to us if that will help you
sleep at night." "Idiot Pre... What went through your mind when you said she was pregnant?" Felix asks Denzel.
"Grace was like that before. We fought and then died." He explained. They all shook their heads. Maybe
thinking that Denzel's idea is stupid. "Maybe she's just feeling something. I'll cook her first so I can feed her
when she wakes up." Eman said and walked. The others followed him. Yuri was the last to walk back to the
room. He leaves a few meaningful gazes at me. I was about to walk to the clinic when I noticed Ci was still
next to me. He was still in the same position. "Ci. Go back to the room." I said and waited for him to walk. He
was still straight-bodied but his hands were down and he was walking with big steps. His marching like a real
soldier. I just shook my head at his awkwardness. I was telling you, he was actually getting worse when Jay
came to us. I continued with what I really planned. I walked to the clinic. There was no one there but the nurse
who was writing something on a paper on her table. She looked up when she felt my presence. "Yes?" She
asks. "I'm not feeling well. I have chest pain." She pointed at my chest. She raised one eyebrow. "You don't look
like in pain." Tss... "B-because I can still bare it but it's making me feel uncomfortable. I might just suddenly
aint on the way." I explained. Even though he didn't seem convinced, he took his stethoscope and put it to his
ear. He was about to put the tip on my chest when I moved away slightly. He stared at me critically. I didn't
know how to convince him. "A-aw... It's hurts again. I'm dizzy." I said while acting like I really feel dizzy. Wow...
Worst acting skills. I backed away until I sat down on one of the hospital beds. I kept lying there and looking at
him. "I will sleep for a while. Don't disturb me." I said and pulled the curtain closed. I heard him putting things
down on the table and it seemed like he was pulling a chair. I knew he knew I was just acting. Maybe he
thought I was one of the students running away from class. I felt for him and after making sure that he
wouldn't disturb me anymore , I got up and walked to the other bed. I slowly pulled back the curtain to see if
what I was looking for was there. There was no one there, not even the next one. I saw her at the end of the
bed. She was sleeping soundly with her left hand on her stomach. Her eyebrows were slightly meeting. I
checked the curtains to make sure that we can't be seen easily by the nurse. When I was sure she was okay, I
lay down next to her on her left side. I was on my side while trying to adjust myself to the bed. I also used one
of my hands to prop my head up for support. I hope she won't wake up soon. I'm worried about her condition
but this is the only way I can be with her for a while. I miss her so fvcking bad. I took her right hand that was
just down beside her. I placed her palm on my chest. "Can you feel it? I'm in pain too." I whispered. It's true that
I have chest pain. It's because I can't do anything to ease her own pain. It's even more because of me. I'm
good with nothing. "But it's okay, because it's nothing compared to what you feel." I added before kissing her
knuckle. I lowered her hand from its previous place. I brushed a few strands of hair from her face. "I know
you're in such a bad mood. But please, hold on for us..." I whispered again and kissed her forehead. "...It's okay
if you curse me out of anger but I swear, I will make the pain that you felt worth it." I can assure you that I will
make up for all the pain I gave you. But I can't promise that I won't hurt you anymore. Because that's what love
is. Pain is not the counter part of love. Not because you feel love you will never feel the pain or you should
never feel the pain. Pain will still be there, it's part of the process of love. Either it kills you inside or it wakes up
your senses. Well, how did you know that's love when you don't feel pain at all? So I don't believe in what they
say 'I won't hurt you'. The person you love will really hurt you, whether intentionally or not. But what's
important is people should know how to ease the pain. How to heal it and how to endure it. How to recover
and how to learn from the pain you feel or feel. Use it as a life lesson but never use it as a grudge to hurt other
people. Maybe love will show your best but pain will show your better especially when you overcome it. And
that's what I will do. I will learn from this pain and when I do....it's yours, Jay. That pain in your chest is what
we will recover. And I will never stop. Even if it's my life that's the price. I kissed her again on the forehead. "I
love you... I love you... I love you..." I whispered. "...I love you and I love you until scientists find the end of the
universe. I will never stop loving you and I will never get tired of saying that to you." Just be patient my Jay-jay.
I looked at her lips slightly parted. I held them with my thumb. I bit my lips. I know it's disrespectful to kiss her
while sleeping but I really miss kissing her. Just one and I'll leave. Just one. I brought my lips close to hers
and was about to kiss her but I heard someone familiar say to me. "Can you give this to my friend when she
wakes up?" It was Eman. He probably brought food for Jay-jay. I didn't move for a moment and felt what they
were doing. "Which friend? There are two students resting there." The nurse answered. "The girl? The one we
brought earlier." "Ahh... She's at the end. Do you want to see her?" She suggested. I almost turned around
because of what he said. I immediately looked for a place to hide in case they came here. "No. Just give me
this. Thank you." Eman said and I heard his foot steps. I sighed because of that. I even thought about sleeping
here next to Jay but it didn't seem possible. Maybe one of our friends would suddenly come here and catch
me. Right now, only Yuri could hear what I was doing. While Ci-N understands my situation even though she
doesn't really know what exactly happened. And the rest of them still hates me but trying their best to
understand me. I looked at Jay-jay, I quickly kissed her lips. It was so light but she suddenly moved causing
me to panic. I was afraid that she would see me and catch me, so I dropped to the floor. I managed to prop my
arms up but my wound was still painful. I glanced at Jay-jay for a moment and saw her frown. She looked like
she was waking up. I was so scared that I walked away. I forgot that Jay was at the end of the bed. I just
pulled back the curtain and walked away. The nurse raised her eyebrows as she looked back at me. "How did
you get there?" She asks. "Sleep walking." I answered quickly and walked away. I heard her calling me but I
ignored it. I went back to the room where the teacher was currently standing in front and writing on the board.
They all looked at me. I just continued to sit in my seat. "Where are you from?" Yuri asks and I can sense the
irritation. "Outside. I talked to someone." "And who is that someone?" My forehead creases. "Do you feel
jealous that I talk to someone?" I tease her. "No. As long as you don't talk to Jay-jay while she's unconscious."
"Why?" "Because you're a jerk. You'll definitely take advantage and stole a kiss from her." Yup! He's definitely
my friend for a long time. He knew exactly what I would do in that situation. A wide smile formed on my lips. I
can't help it. "And you really did." He said sounds defeated. I didn't speak anymore. I just looked ahead and
tried to read the writing on the board. As I expected, the teacher left early so we had lunch early. We talked to
each other while eating. Most of them were talking about Jay. After eating, Yuri stood up. "I'm visiting Jay." He
said without looking at me. I just let him go. We're not the same. He doesn't steal kisses from sleeping people.
Shh... I just chose to stare at our friends. Felix and I chose a group to warm up. Everything will be recorded via
phone camera. I'll send that to all those who challenge me and serve as another warning to them. I sighed.
There's so much to do. And I'll have to leave soon . Damn it! I don't want to leave. My thoughts were
interrupted when Yuri suddenly entered the room. Sweaty and panting. "Jay-jay..." She catches his breath.
"...took a taxi and left." They quickly became alarmed. I try my best to remain calm but heart is beating so
damn fast. "What's wrong? He doesn't have a cellphone!" Edrix said and took out his laptop. "...I'll try to trace
him through cameras." "Maybe he's going home!" Eren said but I can sense he's worried. "His stuff is still here."
Blaster pointed at her bag. "Where's he going?" Mayo looked at Yuri. "Maybe he'll get hurt." Ci-N said and
looked at David. "...David! Jay-jay!" "I know. I heard it." He answered him. They each guessed where Jay-jay had
gone. I strongly suspected that he wouldn't come home. Angelo would be mad at him if he found out that he
went home early even though there was still class. "Felix!" I called. "...call your brother. Ask him if he's with
Jay-jay." He nodded and immediately took his phone to call his brother I turn to Drew who's looking at me.
"Call Tiger. Ask him if Jay-jay pay a visit." He nodded and did the same. That's all I knew he could be with or
isit. But my hopes immediately lost when they both shook their heads. She's not with Percy and she's in the
Kings Ground. Where the hell are you? I looked at Edrix who was still looking at his laptop. It was just him and
Rory who we had to find Jay. "Edrix." I called him in a plain tone. "I lost the taxi when I got to the intersection."
He said sounds worried. "What's the name of the Taxi company?" Rory asked. Edrix gave the name of the
company. Also the license plate he got from the video and other details that can be obtained from the taxi
door. Rory picked up the phone and called someone. "Hello, is this Fast and Go Taxi company?" He said and
we all listen to him. "...can I get the contact number of one of your drivers?" He added the plate number and
Taxi number. "... I left something behind. I was just wondering if I left it in his taxi." He suddenly looked at us I
can see how he felt relieved. "Thank you, I'll wait." He put down the phone and faced us. "They'll text their
name and number." Not that long when he received a message. He called it without hesitation. "Hello? Is this
Mr. Carlo Simson?" He asked and waited for the driver's answers. "...you just picked up a girl from Higher
Value school. Where did you pick her up?" He suddenly frowned. "...I'm from a private investigating company.
That girl's life is dangerous so we need to know where she is." I can sense authority from him. A well-known
private investigator and Rory's father. Their company is large and reaches even abroad. That's why their
connections are extensive. But I didn't know Rory can be more persistent than his father. "Okay. Thank you."
He said before ending the call. "...at Benedict Hospital." I quickly stood up from my seat. "He's going to Kiko." I
said and everybody almost threw the table upside down. What are you up to?
