CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONECALEB'S POV Theresa had been trying to explain her reason for destroying the relationship between Ralph and me, but I ignored all her explanations. She continued sending me messages, but I ignored them all. If I have to move on, I need to put everything behind me, including Theresa. School was already over, and I'm still the school's best player and quarterback. Howard and I made a deal. If I came with him to a party, he would surrender to me and to be honest, he didn't put effort into the match, I felt it was obvious he wanted me to win. I went to where my car was parked and searched for my car keys.“What the hell?” I yelled, finding it difficult to find my car keys. It was supposed to be in my bag, what the fuck is happening? “Are you looking for this,” I heard Diana's voice from behind me, and the sound of dangling car keys. I turned to see Diana waving my car keys in the air as she grinned at me. Fuck, I thought it was over between Diana and me

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWOCALEB'S POV I rushed to the hospital where my parents were, my heart raced, and I could barely feel my feet. Getting to the hospital, I saw Ms Jane, who had her face buried in her hands, making me panic.“Ms Jane, how are they doing? How are my mum and dad?” I rushed to her and said, as she took me in a tight hug. I didn't know what else to do, so I cried on her shoulders. My parents aren't caring, but losing them is something I can't bear, they are the only family I know, because they have refused to show me others.“Your mum is getting better, your dad is still in a coma, the doctor said, it affected him badly, because he was the one driving,” She said, patting my hair slowly. I gulped hard, trying to understand the situation. I felt someone pat my shoulder. It was Kelvin. I could feel his presence, and he also drove behind me.“I am here for you,” He said, giving me a comforting tap on the back. I wondered about a life without my father, and it su

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWOCALEB'S POV After the strange encounter in the hospital, I sat at the reception, waiting patiently for Miss Jane, until she finally came.“You need to rest, it's already midnight,” She said, sitting beside me. I had no intention to sleep, my mind was not settled until I was assured that my parents aren't going to die.“I am good Miss Jane, I think the only one who needs rest here is you and Kelvin,” I smiled at her before turning to Kelvin who sat beside me, patting my back gently. Kelvin told his parents he would be coming home late just to be there for me.“You need rest, and I am not saying this because I am tired of being here with you, I mean it,” Kelvin chimed in. Kelvin needed rest, and if I don't leave the hospital he won't, and it would be selfish of me to put him through that.“Your eyes are heavy,” I scoffed, and began to clean his eyes.“That isn't true,” he protested. Miss Jane placed a comforting hand on my lap and her wrinkled eyes stared at

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURRALPH'S POV I had a wide smile on my face as I lay on my bed. The kiss Caleb and I shared kept flashing in my memory even though it wasn't our first kiss. Hearing about his parents’ accident has made me very worked up, even when I tried not to see her, my body was willing. “I need to wish him good morning,” I said, searching for my phone. My phone lay innocently beside my lamp stand. I grabbed it. What was I going to type without sounding desperate? I thought hard, I didn't want to scare him away. After much thinking, I decided to type whatever came to my head first. “Hey, how are your parents?” I typed and clicked send immediately. I wasn't expecting his reply anytime soon, so I dropped my phone back on the lampstand and got off my bed. I strode to my kitchen where my Mum was cooking as usual. People might think because of our wealthy status, we would own a cook, but unfortunately, or rather fortunately my mum loved cooking and she is gr

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVECALEB'S POV I got to the hospital early, just wanting to see my parents before leaving for school. “Miss Jane,” I yelled, running to meet her, only to find her in tears. What the fuck is happening?“What happened Miss Jane, are you alright?” I asked, giving her a tight hug. Last night, she said my parents were doing okay, so whatever is happening to her is certainly her personal issue. I don't care if I am getting involved in her personal space, so I just hugged her tightly, patting her back. We stayed in that position till the door came to speak with us.“Should we move his body now?” He asked, and I got confused. “Whose body are you talking about?” I asked, turning from Miss Jane to the door, but they all kept quiet, the sadness in their faces spoke a lot. Did Miss Jane’s family get into an accident too? I am kind of confused about everything, I don't even know if Miss Jane has any family.“Caleb, there is something I need to tell you,” Miss Jane s

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX CALEB'S POV I stared at Howard for an answer, but he looked at me confused, like I was overthinking things, and honestly speaking, I was.“ANSWER ME,” I growled, walking towards him.“Your father is her son Caleb, Catherine might be terrible at parenting him but I am certain she loves Mr Miles with all her fucking heart, and the time of his death, Catherine was asleep,” He said, trying to understand why I thought my grandmother was the murderer. I strode to where he stood, till I could feel his breath on my neck.“Okay then, why did you follow me inside the toilet?” I asked, in a whisper, making sure that my breath graced his collar line.“To…comfort you,” He stuttered, taking a few inches away from me. I burst into a round of laughter, allowing him to wonder why I laughed so hard. I laughed, and almost choked in my laughter.“You want to comfort me?” I scoffed, as my laughter subsided.“Yes, and I barely think this is something to laugh about,” He said, c
