CHAPTER 19
DEREK
"What do I do now?" I sighed, leaning against the wall, close to the door of a room at the hospital. With all that was going on, I couldn't think straight. My mind felt empty, having no clue on what I should do or where to go. It felt like the angel of loneliness had fallen on me somehow. My father doesn't want to speak to me, and my friend sees me as the villain. I was stuck. "Please get better, " I heard Antonio's voice from behind. Looking to the right, I peeped into the room I was standing outside and found Antonio taking hold of Mirabel's hand. His face engulfed with sadness, caressing her hand with bitterness in his heart. "Please Mirabel, " He begged. My heart quivered at the sight of this. I have only seen Antonio being jovial and friendly, but his rage and sadness was a new phase for me. We've been friendsRelated chapters

DEREK"What is happening?Father returned with the cops, looking raged over something.He was fuming in anger, letting out curse words while stamping his feet in rage."Why?!" He yelled, grabbing his hair in frustration.From the look of things, it was clear that something had happened at the college.I was close to the entrance of the hospital when I saw him storm inside, with the cops calling out to him from behind."Mr Hallman, listen.""No, I won't! You can't just take what they said despite what you were told. You should have arrested that girl! " He roared, getting attentions on him."What's going on?" I muttered, stepping closer to listen to their conversation.Father's eyes had spotted me, but he just ignored my presence, still arguing with the cops."That young man told you who the culprit was and you didn't do anything. I can't believe you guys!""Mr Hallman, you heard what the school said themselves. It's not like you weren't there, " One of the cops said, trying to get fat

DEREK"Please, I'm looking for my daughter. Her name is Mirabel."I couldn't stand seeing Mirabel's mom in pain, as she begged from one nurse to another, seeking for Mirabel.Antonio and I stood at the corner where her eyes couldn't spot us quickly. Otherwise, if she had seen us, she would have raced down to here to demand for her girl.Unable to bear her demands, I patted Antonio on the shoulder and said, "Go and get my father.""On it." He nodded, rushing back to the room.I gave out a sigh before stepping out to meet my stepmother.The moment I came into view, she saw me."Derek? Derek!!" She yelled my name out, rushing towards me. Her hands fell on my arms, squeezing tight with desperation. "Where's Mirabel?!" She asked with her eyes popping wide.I tried to calm her down, but she wasn't ready for it."Derek, tell me where Mirabel is! You can't tell me to be calm when my girl is here. Where is she?" She demanded. Just then, her eyes lingered to the side, with her face all froze

DEREKI stared at Antonio and Mirabel from the door.My friend gazed back at me, but Mirabel didn't. She just took her eyes elsewhere, getting comfy on Antonio's lap.And the sight of this was beginning to eat me up."What's up? " Antonio asked, running his hand in Mirabel's hair, and petting her.I held back my feelings towards this, pulling myself together. I needed to be calm than getting annoyed. Cooling my mood, I asked Antonio, " I thought you said you'd head home as soon as we arrived?""Oh, shoot! That's true, " He exclaimed, lifting Mirabel's head off his lap and jumping out of bed."I haven't been at home for days. I promised my parents I'd be home today, " He shared, smiling at me then at Mirabel.When he said that, Mirabel's face came all dull. She stared at Antonio with sadness in her eyes, like she was begging him not to leave her alone.And my friend noticed this mood from Mirabel. He smiled at her, cupping her face, saying, "Hey, don't worry. You're home now. I just

DEREKAfter a whole week away from school, I was finally back.I stood outside the gate, staring at the building I've been away from for a week.This same building is where it all started, and I'm going to end it once and for all.Strapping my bag across my shoulder, I walked into the school with a long face, ignoring all the eyes that fell on me.Students that haven't seen me since Mirabel's incident, gazed in surprise when I arrived.They must have thought I wouldn't resume yet since Mirabel was attacked brutally."He's back? I thought I heard his father was going to change his school?""No, his friends said he was made to stay back because of what was happening. His father was mad at him when he heard he bullies that loser.""I'm happy he's back. I've missed staring at his face."They gossiped at my arrival, making an attempt to get closer and ask how I was doing.But when they saw my raging gaze, they all backed down, drifting away in fear.As I drew closer to the school building,

DEREKThe lectures came to an end.All of Mirabel's course mate came surrounding me on my seat, asking questions on my one week absence.They wanted to know if I was the one who chose to stay back or if my father was the reason. And what was my response?"That old man decided to keep me under house arrest because of Mirabel. What could I have done? He's my father after all, " I shared, portraying a victim in their midst. And since they didn't care if I was at fault or not, but just loved me for my status, they backed me up."Yeah, what he did was wrong. It's not your fault that she got attacked by someone in this school.""Exactly. Who knows the person she messed with this time around.""I bet she didn't see the person and just decided to blame poor Tania for it.""Or maybe she's scared. "They all laughed, making fun of Mirabel in her absence. I was heartbroken just hearin

DEREKHis eyes read fear on seeing me. His whole body shivered from where he was tied, mumbling through the tape across his mouth."Old nerdy here was hiding in the library. He didn't want to step out, until I used a girl to call him out of his den, " Antonio shared, grabbing Tim's head, bending it backwards. He gave out a hurtful groan with tears streaming out of his eyes.He dropped them on me, mumbling once more through the tape.He knows what he has done that's why he's pleading with his eyes.Drawing closer to him, I yanked the tape off Timothy's mouth, causing him to scream out in pain.He cried out, pleading with the word Please, escaping his lips. "I didn't do anything. Please, let me go," He sniveled."Are you serious now? You didn't do anything?" I scoffed at his cries, sticking the tape to his left eyebrow."I'm sure you know exactly why you're here, Tim. It's best you come out clean or we do it the hard way, " I threatened, making sure the tape was stuck to his brow prope

DEREK"Have you sent the voice record to me? " I asked Antonio while driving the car.We just dropped Timothy at the bus station not too long after passing a strong warning to the nerd, not to tell anyone what had happened.I was making my way back to the mansion with Antonio, having Mirabel on my mind. I haven't taken her off after hearing all Tim had to say.It was hard."Sure did. I sent it before we left that place, " Antonio said, showing me the sent audio of Timothy's confession. There's no way I was going to let him speak the truth without having a record of it. With the cops seeing me as a suspect and my own father having no trust for me, I needed to show my seriousness to this case and get myself off the hook.This voice record will help, but not fully well. I still need to get more, and that's from Tania herself. "I'll send this to the police. But we still need more proof to pin Tania down.""Yeah, you said something about handling it on your own. What do you plan on doing

DEREK"Honestly, I'm not going to miss this party, " I said to my friends, who were busy notifying me about a party taking place at our usual club.It's taking place this evening, but I don't plan on going with them. In fact, I was pretending to be excited about it, all because of Tania.She was close by with her friends, listening to our conversations like she always does.We were standing near a tree on the field and she was just close to it, right at the other side.She snuck over with her friends, thinking I didn't see her. But I had to just pretend like one who was engulfed with party excitement.Just as we were talking about the party, Tania and her friends suddenly came out of their spot, acting all surprised."Wait, are you also heading over to the party? " She asked, staring at me with a wide gaze.I tilted my head, glancing at my friends who were surprised to see her here with us."Yeah, we are. Why did you ask? " I questioned, smirking at her.Suddenly she and her friends g
