MAX POV
“Let go of me Max,I said let go” Rose said as she pulled off her hand
“What’s that about?”I asked her.
“What are you talking about?”she questioned back.
“Those pictures, you did it right?”
“Look, I might still be In love with you, I might still want you but I wouldn’t resort to this sort of thing just to get you “she said
“I don’t believe you!”I said
“I didn’t do it okay! ,I didn’t put those pictures up online”she said
“If you say so then.”I said as I began to walk off only for her to pull me back
“But don’t you think this is a sign” she asked
“Sign to what?”
“A sign that it’s time for us to get back, until when will you keep on tormenting me for what happened with Nick, have told you that we didn’t mean for it to happen, we…………..”
“Shut up Rose, just shut up”I said
“Not this time Max,I won’t shut up and I won’t stand aside, I won’t let you push me away again, I love you ,I made a mistake, why won’t you just forgive me”She said
“But I don’t love you , Whatever I felt for you a year ago is dead, I don’t love you neither do I want to get back with you”I said turning to leave only for her to hug me from behind.
“I won’t let you go and you should know that the both of us belong together, if you keep on rejecting me ,you will have to accept me because we will both be married in the future”She said as she held me tight.
What ever she was saying meant little to me, all I kept thinking of was Andrea.
She can’t possibly be in a relationship with Jack, she just can’t possibly be In a relationship
“I love you Max,I still do, I wait for the day you will forgive me and learn to love me back”she said as she kept on holding me
“It will be best if you don’t possibly wait for me because I don’t think I can ever love you again”I said
“Why?”She asked
“I love some one else”i said expecting her hold on me to lessen but she didn’t let me go
“I won’t believe that, I won’t believe it ,you are just saying it to get back at me right? “She asked
“No am not, now please let go?”i said looking up only to see Andrea starring at us
Quickly I tore her hand away and went to Andrea who had looked way,pretending to be going some where
“We have to talk”I said as I stood in her path
“I don’t have any thing to say to you”she said as she tried to walk past me
I blocked her path and tried to take her hand but she pulled away
“Rose is waiting for you ,go to her ” she said again
“Are you really dating Jack?”I asked
“What I do with my life have nothing to do with you, so please refrain from asking that sort of question in the future”she said as she walked past me.
Why won’t she just forget what I said and forgive my rudeness,I thought as I stood watching her leave while Rose stood by the end watching the two of us.

JACK POV
I was heading to the men restroom when I almost collide with Rose.
Her face were all puffy and red, seems like she had been crying, I thought as I kept starring at her.
I moved past her and went into the male rest room to do my thing.
Rose chose her own path and if it’s causing her a whole lot of pain and anguish then that will be her fault,I thought as I thought of Andrea and smiled
I have better things think of, like when would i would make Andrea buy me the meal she owes me
The door opened and Rose barged in interrupting my thoughts.
She checked the toilet one after the other and when she found no one there ,she licked the outer door and came back to me
“Happy right?”she asked
“Happy about what?”
“Happy about the pictures and happy about getting your name linked with Andrea”She said
“Cut to the chase here, what do you want ” I asked
“I won’t waste my time by asking if you like Andrea or not, I can already tell that myself, Now all I want from you is to look for ways to get Andrea for yourself, I won’t be able to get back with Max if that girl is still in his life “She said
” Wow so much energy for some one who doesn’t even acknowledge it ” I said
“Just tell me if you are going to do It or not”She asked
“I don’t want to be involved with you “I said
“Why?why can’t you be involved with me?”She asked
“Because of past experience and I won’t do anything to get Andrea, She will come to me herself so save your deal for someone else”I said as I left the room.

ANDREA POV
“So, are we still going for our study session today?”Geoffrey asked
“Of course,it’s very important for every one of us”Beatrice replied
“Still at the same place and at the same time, no one must miss it ” Brenda said
I wasn’t listening to what they were saying because my mind was occupied with what I saw earlier
Could he be dating Rose? They had been holding each other before I arrived and seeing them together got me feeling so sad and more angry.
“Max! Max are you going to go come for the study session group?” Beatrice asked
Even with out looking up at him, I knew he was looking at me
“If Andrea will be there then I will be there”he replied and went to his seat
Every one was looking at me and it was all due to the last thing he said
Couldn’t he have just said some thing else, I thought as I pretend to read my book.
HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 31 – 40
*************************
We got to the cafe and took our seats, I made sure I took a seat which is very far from Max
He didn’t try to make things worse by trying to talk to me.
He had started the STAY AWAY FROM EACH OTHER THING am just following it up for him,I thought as I asked Jack for help on a particular math
Jack gave me his whole attention and taught me the things I didn’t understand.
While I was solving an important equation,I looked up only to find Max starring at me
I looked away and then looked at him again and still he was starring at me
Why does he keep on starring at me? I thought as I put my focus on my book alone.
A while later,I excused myself and left for the rest room.
A lot of memories flooded back as I got into the rest room.
I had been taken her by those terrible guys, I thought as I found myself going outside instead of returning to our table.
I got to where the fight had taken place and I remembered the way Max had beat those goons and his hug later on.
Back then I had thought that he cared for me but I was wrong.
He was only thinking of me as a loser then and am sure that he still thinks the same, I thought sadly
I turned to go back him only to find him behind me,watching me
“That scared me!!!! Why didn’t you tell me if your presence”I said as I moved back
“Because I was sure that you will leave before I get to talk to you”He said
“Still on the talking issue, I told you that we don’t have any thing to say to each other”I said
“But I do, I do have a lot of things to say to you and I won’t let you leave until you listen to me”he said
“Why are you doing this Max, you started it yourself, you told me to stay away and that’s what am doing, what will you gain by being this way?”I asked
“I won’t gain any thing Andrea, all I need from you is your listening ear”He said
“Fine then, tell me what you have to tell me “I said
“Andrea I………”he couldn’t get to tell me because my phone rang
It is my mom, I thought as I quickly picked it up
“Am I speaking to Andrea?”A voice asked
“Yes you are speaking to her”I replied
“Well I called to tell you that your mom collapsed in the market earlier and have been taken to the hospital”The lady said
“What Hospital?”I asked
“The Saint Luke”the stranger replied
“I will be there soon”I said as I switched off the phone..
“What happen?”Max asked
“It’s mom, she collapsed in the market earlier and she has been taken to the hospital”I said nervously
“I have to go to her Max,I have to be with her”I said nervously
“Okay then, let’s go back and collect your things and then we will leave”He said as he took my things.
A while later we left the cafeteria and went straight to the hospital
As soon as we got in, I went to the nurses table and they gave me the information. I needed
I found out from the doctor that she was in a very bad state
I sat on the chair crying ,feeling so alone and just then I felt some one arm wrap around me and I was relieved to see that it was Max.
With out waiting for him to do it, I hugged him tightly.
