Chapter 8

                      Abigail

I heard tiny voices in my room, I opened my eyes slowly, it was blurry, my head started to ache badly.

"She is waking you". I heard a familiar Phoebe's voice.

I placed my hand on my head, as I continued to feel the ache, I struggled to sit, Phoebe helped me.

"Is she awake?".. I heard Dad's voice.

"Yes she is". Phoebe answered happily.

"My head, arrgh". I groan in pain.

"Sorry, sorry". Mom said coming over to the other side of the bed.

"It will subside soon". She assured me.

 "Phoebe go and get her food she needs to eat and take her drugs". Mom said happily. She might have been very worried. I hugged her tightly.

"I am sorry Mom, I am sorry Dad I won't do that again". I apologized, blinking my eyes severally to prevent the ache.

"No my child you don't have to be, stop talking you are going to increase the ache, just relax okay". She cared.

"Yes Abigail, don't talk again, we've forgiven you before you apologized". Dad said smiling. I nodded, as tears trickled down my cheeks.

"Don't cry". Mom said, wiping off the tears. 

Phoebe walked in with a maid behind her, she sat at the edge of the bed. They made out what was with her.

"I am going to feed you this food which you must not refuse". Phoebe said happily.

"You are going to be late for school". I reminded her in a concerned tone.

"No sister first, open up". She said, I nodded. I opened my mouth as she fed me. The headache reduced.

"Good girl, you finished the food, it's time for your drugs". She said dropping the plates on the bedside stool". I hugged her from behind.

"I am sorry Phoebe, I am a bad sister, I didn't set a good example for you". I said feeling guilty.

"No you did, what about all the examples you have laid so far, common, this is not an example, you only expressed your feelings, okay". She said,

"I have forgiven you". She added, I disengaged from the hug.

"Phoebe you need to get going, it is getting late". I said.

"Okay bye Mom, bye Dad, bye sis, take care of yourself". She said pecking us one after the other.

"Make sure you get better before I come, if you don't want me to make you better by force". She said in a funny way. She left.

"Dad, what about Andrew?". I asked.

"I asked him to do something for me"...

"Hey little sis you are awake". He greeted me walking closer to me. 

"You are a true son truly, I was just asking about you". I said, he pecked my cheek.

"How are you feeling right now?Have you eaten?Hope you have taken your drugs?". He asked, I laughed.

"Why are you laughing?". He asked, giving me a silly look.

"Phoebe did everything already, thanks to her I am feeling better". I said laughing.

"I know she must have disturbed you with the way I saw her smiling to herself".  He said, we all laughed.

"She is crazy and also the best sis in the world". I said, we laughed. 

Everywhere became silent.

"Dad, I would like to tell you my decision". I brought up the topic.

"No not now, you have to rest, we will talk about it when I come back from walking, okay". He said with a smile. I nodded.

"Bye little sis, we need to go now". Andrew said, he pecked Mom and I. He left with Dad.

                 Phoebe

I smiled to myself as I walked out of the house. It is good to have her back. I thought she was going to die when I saw her lifeless body yesterday. I am relieved she is now okay. 

I got into the car, I drove off.

At School.

I came down graciously from the car, I walked into the compound, humming a song.

"Phoebe!". I heard Sean's familiar voice. I stopped on my track waiting for him to come nearer to me.

"Good morning Sean". I greeted when he got to me, and we hugged.

"Good morning". He replied, I smiled.

"You look very totally different today, your smile is charming". He said I blushed.

"What is the secret?". He asked, narrowing his eyes at me.

"Nothing, I am just happy, very very happy". I said almost screaming.

"Tell me already". He said eagerly.

"I can't tell you now, my class is in two minutes, I have to go". I waved at him with a smile, he did the same.

Break Time.

I went out of the lecture room, a yawn escaped through my lips, I adjusted myself and walked to Brian's block. 

I peeped into his lecture room. I couldn't find him, I sighted a girl coming out, I rushed to her.

"Good morning, please is Brian in there?". I said pointing into the lecture room.

"No, he went out a few minutes ago". She said, I smiled. She left. 

Why is he not here? I don't want to give him a call. I stomped my feet on the ground. I walked to the rooftop to get fresh air. I saw a back view of a guy. I smiled.

"Brian". I called.

He turned, "what are you doing here". He asked with a serious look on his face. I ignored.

"How are you?". I said walking towards him.

"I think I asked a question from you". He said coldly 

"I came here for you". I said calmly.

"You came for me, after abandoning me for two day, you know I can't do without you yet you decided to hurt me". He blurted out angrily". 

I felt guilty immediately, I should have called him but I didn't because he deserves to be angry with him.

"I am very sorry, for my bad attitude, I was just scared and naive". I apologized.

"Did you hate me, I tried calling your line but it is not going through". He blasted at me again. I took in my lips. I added his contact to the blacklist, I am such a fool.

"Please forgive me, please don't be angry". I apologized. Silence overcomes, cold breeze blows though us.

He walked closer to me, I stepped back, I don't know what he might do to me, I know he is seriously angry right now. This continued until I hit my back against the wall, he let out a devilish smile.

"Please I am sorry, I won't do that again". I apologized as sweat came out of my pores forcefully.

"If I haven't forgiven you then I won't be here". He said, I let out a relieved sigh. He leaned closer, he bent his head, he moved closer, we could feel each other's breath.

He placed a gentle kiss on my lips, gosh I have missed this a lot.

I reciprocated, he kissed me roughly, he pulled out his mouth. I licked my lips in disappointment.

"I have been waiting for you to come and here you are, I really miss you Phoebe". He said sweetly.

"I want to tell you something". I said smiling, I winked at him.

"What is that my sweetheart". He said pushing his head closer to my neck, he sucked it hungrily.

"Brian, I won't be able to tell you if you continue to do that". I said in-between my moan.

He removed his mouth from my neck. He looked at me funnily.

"I have thought about what we fought over, I discovered you are the type of boyfriend any girl will dream of having, I have agreed to do it". I said shyly.

He chuckled, "Don't force yourself to do what you don't want to, I am okay with your decision let's just forget about it and move on". He advised.

I stared at the ground in embarrassment. I thought that was what would bring back our relationship but I was totally wrong. He respects my decisions. I hugged him, and he reciprocate.

"I am so sorry, I thought you just"...

"Don't say anything, let's just stay here for a while, I missed this". He said cutting me off.

"Brain lover boy". His friend came in. We disengaged.

"Wow you guys are back together, I am very happy, Brian won't stop thinking about you, Phoebe this, Phoebe that. He stressed himself, and drank to stupor. Please don't ever leave him or else he will die". He advised.

I kissed him on his lips, "Thank you". I muttered.

"I love you more than you can ever imagine Phoebe, I would die if you ever leave me, please promise me you won't leave". He asked.

"I promise, I won't leave you for another person, I will only be yours Brian, and yours alone". I said smiling. We smashed our lips on each other.

"Hmmmm". Seth cleared his throat.

"I am still here you know". He said jokingly, my cheek flushed in embarrassment.

"Can you please take your leave". Brian faked being angry.

"I can't have another paper in five minutes". He said laughing.

"That's not funny".  Brian said to him. He turned to me.

 "I am sorry I have to go now, take care of yourself". He said, placing a kiss on my lips.

He left winking at me. I walked to the edge of the rooftop, I have gotten all the happiness in the whole wide world. I smiled remembering what his friend said. I am so lucky to have him in my life. I am going to surprise him. I closed my eyes as the breeze blew my hair.
