"There is no problem with him. He is going to be fine. I guess you know what exactly is up with him, right? It's nothing serious." Jennie explained to Jonathan. The latter felt relieved and smiled at Jennie gratefully. "Thank you, doctor." "You are welcome. Please, excuse me." She left the office and met Ashley outside. "Big sis..." Ashley was pulled by Jennie without much thinking into her office and she slammed the door. "Are you crazy? Why are you here? What happened to *I am going to Sammie's*, huh? Why is Alex looking that terrible? I am confused by what is going on and I demand that you start explaining to me now, young lady!" She ordered furiously. Ashley was scared as she couldn't look at her sister in the eye but she didn't hesitate in telling her the truth. The more that she spoke, the more Jennie was perplexed. "So, my sister is telling me that because of a guy, she diverted her path? Isn't that absurd? He doesn't even like you yet you are
" I really don't know what is wrong with you. You have been sleeping non-stop today in class." Josh mentioned as they settled to have their lunch inside the cafeteria. "You should ask her where she was yesterday" Sammie snorted and turned her face away. "Wasn't she with you last night?" Josh was amazed. Sammie turned to Josh to explain while ignoring Ashley's pleadingly eyes. "You know what? She told me that she was coming over last night and I prepared dinner. I even told my parents to go ahead with their journey that my best friend was coming. My big brother was not around as well so I was living the same fate as the boy from the movie HOME ALONE. Her parents kept calling me and I had to call her as well but she didn't answer. I was in between the Devil and the deep blue sea. Can you just imagine such a situation? After an hour or more than that, she simply texted me that she was coming and I still waited until it was twelve but she...I can't believe this." Sammie
"I'm home." Jennie greeted him immediately after she entered the apartment that she shared with Louis. The latter came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding two cups. He smiled on seeing Jennie. "Hey, bae. Good morning." Jennie smiled faintly as she put down her bag and approached the dining table. "Good morning, sweetheart." They kissed on the lips and Louis kissed her forehead too. "How was your night at the hospital? You look stressed." He mentioned. "Yeah. I am stressed. You won't believe what happened today at the hospital." Louis sat down opposite her and waited for the gist. Anything related to gist especially if it was from his beloved, he was always interested. "It's about Ashley, she came over to the hospital last night with her crush and her crush's Brother." "What?" Jennie started explaining what she meant. Louis was surprised as he listened to each of the detail his girlfriend was saying. "I don't know what to do, Lou
"Good morning, doctor." "Good morning," Jennie responded with a smile after coming out of her car. She was looking very energetic and vibrant as well. One wouldn't have believed that she was awake throughout the whole night. She greeted a few of her colleagues while she ignored those that wanted to be. On her way, she met a friend of hers who stopped her to have a few words with her. "Hey, good morning." "Morning. What's up?" "A nurse told me that a patient was brought in here last night and you..." "Yeah, I know about it. He is my patient. Don't worry. I have things under control." "Are you sure?" The guy asked with uncertainty "Yeah, I am. Thanks for asking by the way." Jennie walked past him hurriedly to her office to start the day's work. As she wore her coat, she stared at herself in the mirror. It was quite hectic to be a doctor but she loved her job very much. Aside from the thought of her job, something else was bothering her. "Don't wor
A few days later, Ashley felt terrible and even looked like one. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were swollen because of late night sleep. She spent hours reading and tried reaching Alex but it was to no avail. She didn't give up though. She checked her phone for any messages but she got none. She tried contacting Jonathan but his number was unavailable as well. She didn't know where he lived and she still felt the burden in her heart. She simply wanted to apologize and speak to him. Someone knocked on her door. "Cutie Pie, are you in there?" Her father asked. "Hmm." She groaned. "May I come in?" Brown asked again. "Hmm." She groaned louder and the door was unlocked from outside. Brown stepped into the room and gently closed the door. He found her sleeping upside down. Her whole room was a mess, something that never happened before. It was not as if the exams were fast approaching so why was this happening? "Ashley, are you fine?" Ashley shook her h
"What went wrong?" Sammie asked curiously as they decided to walk home. Ashley sighed, "I followed him to where he was working a few days ago." Sammie frowned, "And how is that a crime to neglect you?" "It is not just any working place. It's something that no one was supposed to know about especially me. Just like I followed him to the forest that day when we went on a short vacation, that was how I followed him this time around and that was because I was curious about the type of life he was living. In short, he is selling drugs." "Drugs? The good drugs or the bad ones?" "The bad ones. He buys them and goes to sell them to some thugs or bad People. I didn't know, okay? I just kept following until we arrived there and after getting there, I couldn't turn back again. I had come so far just to unravel the truth about him so I went in unnoticed. The place was terrible. Never would anyone have told me that such a place existed and I would believe. I had to bear
Ashley was standing closer to her window. It was weekend and she had no idea what to do on this very day. She tried calling Alex again but it didn't go through. He blocked her already. She remembered when she tried confronting him yesterday at school but she got the worst embarrassment of her life in public. [FLASHBACK.] Ashley had made sure to watch him closely so she would be able to approach him. When he was alone, she quickly seized the chance and did as she planned. Alex turned around to leave after seeing her but she blocked his path quickly, so she could at least have a reasonable discussion with him. "Please, don't go anywhere. Give me a chance to at least apologize. I tried calling your number but you didn't answer. You kept disregarding my call. I am truly sorry for..." "You are not truly sorry for anything, Ashley. You are far from being sorry for anything. You are that type of girl that proves to be persistent. Do you know the danger that you put yourse
"So, what is next? Are you finally going to give up on him?" Sammie asked, a little bit too excited as the three friends were on a video call. She hoped that her friend would be able to get a hang of herself at least but to her surprise, things took another unexpected turn. "No, I am not." Sammie's smile dried up after hearing this from Ashley. "Are you kidding me?" She threw her hands in the air as she was in disbelief. "I think you got a bit excited there, Sammie." Josh mocked her and laughed. Sammie frowned and faced Josh. "Wait until we meet in school on Monday, that laughing gas in you will finally be empty by the time I lay my hands on you." She hissed and faced Ashley. Josh kept his lips shut after getting the threat. "So, you are willing to go through the fire again, huh?" Sammie asked sarcastically. "I am not going to easily let go of him not when he needs a friend to speak with," Ashley responded. "And you consider yourself to be *the friend*
