ANDREA POV
“You are really asking for it this time!”Max said moving towards him but quickly I got in between them
“Just stop it,no fighting”I begged and Max cooled down a bit, he took my hand and began to head out
“Do you know why I asked her to break up with you, do you want to know?”Jack asked and we both turned to look at him
“Done listen to him!”I said trying to pull Max out of the class
“I want to know why he is so confident about asking you to break up with me”Max said not bothering to answer me.
I looked at Jack,hoping that he wouldn’t say a thing and luck was on my side when the teacher walked in.
“Now go back to your seats,class will start soon”He said starring at us all
“Not for us sir, Andrea and I will skip class today”Max said and with out waiting for the teacher reply, he pulled me out of class and I was unable to do a thing.
“Max where are we going?”I asked but he wouldn’t answer.
He looked angry, is it because he saw me with Jack, that is nothing, I better assure him of it.
“Max, Jack and I weren’t doing a thing”I said but he still didnt let go of my hand, neither did he stop walking
Even though he asked me to break up with you, I never thought of it”I said again and still it got me the same response
“Max what is wrong?”I asked and that made him stop.
He took me by my arm and pushed me to the wall
“Don’t you have some thing to say to me?”He asked
“What?”
“Don’t you have some thing to say to me?”he asked looking hurt
“I don’t have any thing to say to you”I said and he nodded In acceptance.
Taking hold of my hand, he began to pull me off.
We got to the music room and he pushed me in closing the door.
I still had the bag pack in my arm and as soon as he closed the door , he walked towards me and pulled the bag from me.
“What are you doing ?”I asked as I tried to take it from him
He still didn’t answer me and he opened up my bag and threw it’s content on the table.
“Stop it!”I said trying to stop him but he pulled his hand away
He took all my book and when he finally took the last book that the ticket was in,I knew it was over.
He opened the envelope and when he read what was in it, he turned to stare at me
“Don’t I mean any thing to you?”He asked
“Max I can explain……”
“Explain what? This air plane ticket shows that you are to leave this country and you are to never come back”
“When did he give it to you? Is it before you came to my room or after?” He asked and I couldn’t answer because I was crying
“Like a fool I believed you and bought an apartment for you, wanting to take you away from my parents but it turns out that you had your own plans too, I must have been a joke to you right?”He asked and his last question got me talking.
“Then what was I to do, it was either I leave or I never get to see you”
“That doesn’t matter, you should have never given in, what hurts me the most is that you couldn’t trust me, you came up to me after collecting this ticket and yet you smiled, you smiled at me and told me every thing is fine when it’s all a lie!”
“I did it to protect you! I did it so you won’t be dis own, so you won’t have to live with out the comfort you have been used to”
“He knew that if I agreed not to leave,you will keep on dating me no matter what and he made it clear to me that he will disown you, he will send you away and you…..You will hate me for it and that is what I don’t want”I said as I kept on crying
“I still don’t get you! Why do you think that will hate you?”He asked
“You won’t be living in comfort, you will have to endure living a poor life and you will regret your action, you will regret choosing me and you will hate me for it, I would rather leave than to lose your love Max”I said still crying
“You don’t know me well enough!”He said and i stared at him
He tore the ticket to pieces and threw it on the floor.
“I would rather be disown than to lose you”He said and pulled me into his arms
I held him while the tears kept pouring,I felt so relieved and scared at the same time.
“I just wanted to protect you, I never meant to lie to you, I never meant to hurt you”I said as I buried my face in his arms
“I know and am sorry”He said softly
“Why are you sorry?”I asked
“I wasn’t able to protect you from my dad, I should have been there for you but I wasn’t “He said
“You d………”
“Shhhh………from now on, I will do the protection and please don’t you ever think of collecting another ticket from him neither should you think of leaving me,okay!”He said and i nodded softly.

MAX POV
While Andrea went back to class,I decided to go home, the urge to confront my father is so strong that I can’t wait for school to end.
If I hadn’t find out about the ticket , Andrea would have left me and that alone will drive me mad.
Slowly I let my mind drift to how I found out about the ticket
“You know I heard that he is dating Rose”
“What about Andrea”
“I think he has had enough of her”
“Where did you two hear such gossip”I asked as I went to meet the two gossipy girls, I couldn’t control my anger, hearing them say such nonsense got me feeling angry.
“We….we….”
“Answer me!”I yelled at them
“Well….we heard it from Rose friends, they kept on saying that you and Rose are back together and that ………..”
I didn’t wait to listen to the rest of their story because I was already looking for Andrea.
I found her at the balcony with her friends or rather her minions
“Woohoo………your guy is here Rose”One of her friend yelled and they began to talk at the same time.
I gave Rose an angry glare and immediately she shut her mouth
“What’s with what am hearing?”I asked
“What’s what?”Se asked feigning ignorance
“Do you want me to say it in front of them”I asked
“You guys should please leave us”she said and reluctantly they left
“What happen now?”
“How dare you spread false rumour about us?”I asked
“It’s not false”She replied
“While am still dating Andrew it is false,am giving you a certain amount. Of time to rectify your mistake or I would do some thing you wouldnt like”I said and began to walk off
“I don’t want to?”she said and I stopped
“Do what ever you want ,I don’t care, I know that you will be mine soon”She said
“And why are you so sure?”I asked
“Why don’t you ask Andrea that, am sure that she will have the answers you need”She said and walked off before I could stop her to ask.
“Max! Max! Max!”Geoffrey called and stopped me from going after Rose
“The English teacher is looking for you,it’s kind of urgent”On hearing that I went to the teachers office and went to do what the English teacher asked of me.
I was about to leave when I heard the math teacher talking to the principal.
“So another student is leaving Jupiter high, what’s her name ?”The principal said
“Her name is Andrea Blake and she just started some few months ago, am quite surprise that she will want to leave this soon”the math teacher said
“But what surprise me more is that chairman Winston,Max father called and did every thing”he added
“Max father? Are they close or what?” The principal asked
“I don’t know but another thing he said is that is leaving the country”The math teacher said and did it all, I left the teachers office and went in search of Andrea and it turns out that what the teacher had said was true.
It still infuriates me to know that I had learnt this from some one else but am quite relief that I know about it and that I got a chance to stop it from happening.
