"How did I get to your house?" She asked.
"Don't you remember what happened?" The guy asked worriedly.Alisha racked her brain for few seconds before talking "ah...not much. I remembered celebrating my birthday and then, I wanted to kill myself""You really don't remember?""I don't know. Everything is blurry in my brain""Do you remember who Zhang is?" The guy worriedly asked."I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me" echoed in her brain and the next second, she angrily disconnected herself from the drip and angrily got out of the bed."Who do you think you're!?' she angrily screamed into the guy's face "Who gives you the permission to save me!?" Tears rolled down uncontrollably from her eyes. "How dare you?""Killing yourself..." The guy started saying but he was cut off by Alisha's angry voice."It's my life! You shouldn't have! How am I suppose to live now! Who gave you the right to save me. You shouldn't have!" Her voice cracked at this moment and she angrily pushed the guy back "I will never forgive you for what you've done to me. You've ruined everything.""Killing yourself isn't the best solution.""It was the best solution! It was!. Don't expect me to say thank you.""Miss.""Take me back to the beach now and let me finish what I've started!""That, I'm not going to do."Alisha gave the guy the most hateful stare that she could come up with before looking at what she was wearing."Get me my clothes now!"~~~~~~~~~~After changing into her own clothes, Alisha angrily opened the door and stepped inside an hallway. Alisha looked at her left and right. She was trying to figure out which way was the right way out of the building without asking for help from the guy that had excused himself when she was about to change into her own clothes.After deliberating for few seconds, she decided to take the right side."If you're truly leaving, that's not the way out" Someone said behind her and she hurriedly turned around to see who it was. It was the handsome guy.Without saying anything, Alisha started following him in the opposite direction."What's your name?" The handsome guy tilted his head and asked as they were heading out."None of your business. Just get me out of here."A frown creased his forehead and he heaved a sigh before stopping on his track suddenly. Which made Alisha to also stop on her track."Listen" he said with a serious face "I'm just trying to help you. Committing a suicide because of a guy isn't worth it""Who says it's because of a guy?" Alisha fired back."Do I look stupid or deaf to you? I was there the whole time. You were crying and screaming out his name."Alisha fought the tears that threatened to roll down her cheeks and stared into his eyes which was as blue as an ocean. She was still finding it hard to believe that the guy standing in front of her was a human being like her. Every single part of him was too perfectly shaped."Just get me out of your house!""Was he your boyfriend?" He asked.Instead of answering him, Alisha started walking away from him. She was walking towards the door. Although Alisha was still angry at Zhang and she was still determined about committing suicide just to prove to Zhang how much she loved him, a part of her heart was telling her to reconsider because of the handsome guy that had rescued her."Alisha Perry!" Someone called behind her and Alisha had almost fallen down from shock. How come? She thought. She hurriedly turned around and saw the handsome guy still standing at where he had been for the past few minutes."How...do... you...know...my...?""You're all over the news. 'A seventeen years old girl who celebrated her birthday few hours ago committed suicide after being dumped by her boyfriend'. They're still searching for your dead body inside the water." he shrugged and blinked twice "It's a free world. I can't stop you if you don't want to live."Alisha lost control and hot tears uncontrollably rolled down her eyes. She slowly walked back to where the guy was still standing and whimpered "My mom? What about her?"He shrugged "Exactly what is going through your mind right now. She is a single mother with an only child."Alisha sobbed louder and hugged the guy tightly for consolation."He dumped me. He dumped me. I thought we were in love but the whole time, I was the one in love. I'm a very stupid person.""Stop blaming yourself. The douchebag is the one to be blamed." the guy consoled.~~~~~~~~~~"Thank you for the soup." Alisha said as she was about to take her first spoon. She was seated on the bed with a tray on her laps which contained a bowl of hot chicken soup."You're welcome." the guy who was now seated on the only couch inside the room said."I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier. Thank you for saving me."The guy looked at Alisha happily with a wide, cocky smile on his face before replying "You're welcome. It's nice meeting you""I'm Alisha. Alisha Perry","I'm Kelvin. Kelvin McSmith"The moment Alisha heard Kelvin's last name, her eyes became as big as saucers, uncontrollably spat out everything that was in her throat and started choking.Although, Kelvin knew that she was going to be surprise when she heard his name, he wasn't expecting her to be this surprised.When Kelvin saw her choking on the soup, he had instantly gotten up from the couch and rushed to her side. He carefully lifted a cup to her mouth and told her to drink out of it."Easy. Easy" he said slowly and attentively as Alisha gulped down the whole water. "How are you feeling now? You're feeling better?" He asked as he put down the glass cup.But instead of replying him, Alisha had asked him a question."Are you really Kelvin McSmith?"Kelvin looked straight into her eyes. His ocean blue eyes connecting with her hazel eyes. She unconsciously swallowed her saliva and her heartbeat thumped louder. The Kelvin McSmith that was standing in front of her was just too handsome to be real. Even he being 'too handsome' was an understatement from Alisha's perspective because his pictures that were on the internet did his handsomeness no justice at all."Yeah. I'm Kelvin McSmith. My dad was Eric McSmith" he added the last sentence with a full blown ego."Two rooms?" They all chorused."Yes" the receptionist replied."What are we going to do now?" Shane asked as he looked at everyone's faces.Mindy sighed. "I have no idea.""Kelvin, what are you going to say?" Shane asked."I don't know." He replied."Maybe we should check into another hotel." Mindy suggested."Oh" Shane replied, shaked his head several times and looked at the receptionist. "The nearest hotel to this place is how many hours away?""Two hours away." she replied."Two hours away!!?" they chorused."Yes." she replied."That is too far away." Mindy said frustratedly. "What are we going to do now?"Shane sighed and checked his wristwatch which was on 8:16pm. An hotel that was two hours away from this one was definitely out of the option.Shane looked at Kelvin and said" Kelvin, why don't you guys share a room together. Just for tonight.""That ain't happening." Kelvin said the same time Alisha shouted "We can't!""Just for
Few months later.School was over two months ago. Kelvin turned eighteen last month and today, which was a month later was his inauguration day.Alisha and Mindy sat in front of Mindy's television with a bowl of popcorn in their hands each.They were watching Kelvin's inauguration as quiet as possible.When it was time for Kelvin to give his speech, Alisha watched as the almighty Kelvin McSmith got out of his seat and matched to the podium with Kyle James by his side.That was supposed to be her place. she thought. But she had fucked it up by a single mistake."Alisha." Mindy called sadly. "You're crying.""Am I?" Alisha said as she touched her face and tried to wipe away the tears.Mindy turned to her side fully "I don't know why you want us to watch this. Let's go out and you know, party instead.""I want to watch him." Alisha insisted."But, it's not helping you.""Just watching him from afar makes me happy. I just want to make sur
Kelvin didn't show up the next day to give her a ride to school and Alisha took a taxi like she did yesterday.As she got out of the taxi, she sadly looked at Kelvin's spot at the car park and his car was already there. Alisha sighed heavily, pushed back the tears that were threatening to fall and walked into the school.When Mindy saw her, she ran towards her happily and said "Good morning, girl.""Good morning." Alisha said between her lips and walked past Mindy who instantly noticed that something was wrong. She ran after Alisha and met up with her in no time."What's wrong with you this morning? Are you sick or something?"Alisha sighed heavily and shook her head before saying "I'm okay. I slept late last night.""Okay." Mindy said before her eyes lightened up. "Kelvin is in school. I guess you didn't know."Alisha's eyes fell and she started praying for the tears not to fall. She wasn't ready to accept that she and kelvin were over and s
Alisha and Zhang broke apart the moment they heard the scream and instantly looked at the direction where the scream had came from."No." Alisha gasped when she saw who was running towards them and started shaking nervously. "Kelvin." she called as her eyes connected with that of an obviously pissed off Kelvin for some seconds before he looked away and focused his attention on Zhang instead."How dare you!?" Kelvin shouted and punched him straight in the face. "How dare you touch my girlfriend!?" He added as he threw another punch at a 'caught off guard' Zhang. "Who do you think you're!?" He threw another punch at him."Kelvin, please." Alisha pleaded. "It's not what you're thinking.""You, shout up!" Kelvin said to Alisha and that few seconds distraction gave Zhang the chance to throw a punch at him and said back "She was my girl first!. I turned her into a woman!"Kelvin staggered but was back on his feet in a microsecond and angrily threw a punch at Zhang
Two weeks after the incident, Alisha took a taxi to school for the first time in weeks because Kelvin travelled out the country a day before for an important meeting that he had to attend, Mindy was down with the flu and Shane had volunteered to stay with her.Alisha got down from the taxi and headed straight to her class. Every steps she took reminded her of Kelvin and what type of a boyfriend he was to her. In short, she realized that Kelvin, Mindy and Shane had became a part of her that she couldn't do without.The moment the school was over, she dug her hand into her jeans pocket and brought out her phone. She clicked on WhatsApp, clicked on Kelvin's number which she had stored as 'Pringles' and texted. "Hey babe. You're awake? How was the meeting?"When there came no reply, she texted. "Just checking up on you. Call me as soon as possible. Love ya." she went out of WhatsApp and as she tried to put her phone back inside her back pocket, she ran into someone and dr
"Alisha." Kelvin called worriedly when he spotted Alisha standing next to his car and ran up to her. "Alisha, why are you here? What's going on?" He asked worriedly.Alisha looked straight into his eyes with her eyes that had turned red and said "Can we go on a ride?"Kelvin pulled his eyebrows together in confusion before saying "Ride? We're still in...""Can we go on a ride or not?" Alisha asked firmly.Kelvin sighed and nodded his head "Sure." He unlocked his car and opened the passenger's door for her. Alisha slipped in, Kelvin closed the door and walked to the other side of the door while wondering about what was going on.As Kelvin started the car, Mindy came out of a corner, ran to his car and started knocking on the window that was next to Alisha's."Alisha, talk to me. Please. Let me explain." Mindy was saying urgently "Please, I can explain."Kelvin looked at Alisha who had not moved an inch from where she was seated confusedly and
