Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Phoebe's POV

"Phoebe do you have any idea that you're going to school today"Kay said sitting down on the couch in my room

"I know"I said laying down on my bed as I cried buring my head on my pillow

"Come on Phoebe,he doesn't know,why are you bothered?"he asked,I raised my head up

"He knows Kay,he just don't wanna talk about it"I managed to talk

"You're just assuming Phoebe,of course he did see the doctor,he wouldn't just lie about your health,so as the doctor.dont you believe him?he asked,I was just scared

"He has been calling you since yesterday,even this morning,but you refuse to pick, you're avoiding him,he didn't do anything wrong"Kay defended him

"Are you sure?"I asked

"I am"he said,my phone rang,it was Jax,I refused to pick

"I know that's Jax and I knew you weren't gonna pick it,not fair enough"he said,I didn't just wanna talk to him,I was still suspecting he knows.mum and dad walked in

"Mum,dad,what are you doing in my room?"I asked surprisely,mum came sitting beside me

"We were scared,since you refused to eat dinner last night,when you came back and you refuse to eat breakfast"mum said

"I'm fine mum"I managed to smile

"Who dropped you off"dad asked

"Hm,a friend,we went together"I said

"Zayn,didn't go?"he asked

"Yeah"I answered

"You were kind of weary when you got back,did you have attack?'he asked

"No, I'm fine"I answered.

"Okay"he said

"I prepared food for you to take to school"mum said

"Mum"I complained

"Yes sweetheart,you need to eat baby"she patted my back

"Mum, favouritism"Kay complained jokingly

"She's the baby of the house"mum said,he stood up

"Whatever mum,let's go,she needs to prepare for school"he said as he pulled mum up from the bed as they both walked out,I stood up and prepared for school,I knew I was late already

I wore a mini flair gown with a net jacket plaiting down my hair into 2

"You know you're extremely late for school"Kay said as I entered his car

"So you don't want me to eat huh?"I said as I took my pills,then he drove faster

"Bye"I said as I got down

"Bye, I'll try calling you"Kay said as I walked in,I was kind of hungry tho, despite the fact I had eaten.

As I walked along the corridor to my floor I approached Jax,he was steps away from me,we were looking at each other,then u knew I decided to take another route,I turned to walk away

"Phoebe, Phoebe wait!"he walked after me,I walked faster

"Phoebe hear me out first"I refused to stop walking,he got me

"Phoebe"he turned me to him,I was facing him

"Are you avoiding me?"he asked holding me,I didn't reply

"I called you a million times and I know you deliberately didn't want to pick my call and now you're running away from me"he said staring at me,he sounded upset

"You're not gonna say anything?,did I do something wrong?"he asked

"Jax,can we not talk...for now?"I said as I moved his hand away from my arm

"Please"I pleaded,I didn't get myself

"Seriously?"he was confused and upset

"Jax"I wanted to calm him down

"Fine,that's the way you want it"he said and walked away

"He would have just hear me out first"I said lowly,I was still standing when Zayn walked up to me

"Hey bestie,why you standing here doing nothing and why you late"he asked as he walked me to class

"I woke up late"I lied

"Okay, I missed you anyway"he pecked me on my hair

"Me too"I managed to smile

"How's Kay"he asked

"Cool"I said trying to smile,as I and Zayn walked in the class,I met Jax playing with the girls in class,like he was seriously playing and gisting with them.he didn't even notice me

"Hey guys!lower your voice"Zayn yelled,no one seemed to listen to him

"He's more happy than I thought he would be"I said lowly as I sat down

"Wouldn't you join the group?they seem to be having fun"Zayn said as he stood up to join them

"I'll just watch you guys"I smiled

"Ok"he said and walked away to join them

"Guys,let's play truth and dare"Samuel suggested

"Cool,sounds nice"Jax said,why does he really sound Happy over playing truth and dare

"I'm playing first"Tony said

"Okay"they chorused,I pretended not to watch them

"So who's playing with me"Tony asked

"I"Zayn said

"Choose"he requested

"Truth"he picked

"Okay,is Phoebe your best friend?"Tony asked,jeez,nigga be acting dumb,I disappointed slap my hands to my face

"I must confess Tony,you sound stupid asking that question, because isn't it OBVIOUS Tony!!"Zayn said mockingly

"Come on,it's just a question man"tony laughed

"Okay another question with you'tony said

"Okay"Zayn said

"Will you date your bestie,if you had the chance to,your answers with reason"Tony asked,is. Tony insane??

"No"he answered, no???,well I didn't see that coming

"No, cause, I'm not her kind of guy,of course,I care for her,love her and always want her attention but the fact is,I can't love her the way the guy who loves her does"Zayn said,at first When I first met Zayn,I thought his intention was to date me,even after we became best friends,I was expecting him to ask me out or something but he didn't just come the way I expected,until I met Jax.Anybody who would see I and Zayn will think we're dating especially when we were in year 2.there is almost nothing we don't do together.

"Wow!"they exclaimed,I didn't notice Jax

"It's my turn,who's in"Samuel asked

"I,I choose dare"Jax said, dare??

"I dare you to em,let's see"Samuel said as he scrutinized

"Okay,I dare you to kiss Emma"Samuel said,I jerked on my seat,kiss Emma?that would be the last thing he would do at my presence

"I would love to"he said as he stood up,what!, seriously??he was gonna kiss her?when I'm here?he wouldn't dare

"Sorry,I need to talk to him,it's urgent"I said as I walked up to him,held his hands and dragfully walked him outside

"You're not gonna kiss her,are you?"I asked looking up at him

"Is there anything wrong with that?"he asked looking at me with a 'what's the trash is she saying'eyes,I didn't like the way he talked

"Yes"I answered immediately

"What?"he asked

"Jax, you're gonna kiss her in my presence?"I asked

"If you can't watch me kiss her,maybe you'd better walk yourself out of the class"he said,he was rude

"Jax,come on please"I pleaded,I was kind of jealous

"Why are you begging me Phoebe,last time I checked,you said we shouldn't talk"he said sternly

"Jax"I said pleadingly

"If you would excuse me,I have a girl to kiss"he said and walked in

I walked to the cafeteria feeling upset and jealous

"Am I at fault?"I asked myself as I sat down,no I wasn't,I wasn't at fault,after some time the guys came up

"Did he kiss her?"that was the first thing I asked when they came up

"I told you that's the first question she'd ask"Zayn said as he sat beside me

"Did he"I asked curiously

"Well,he didn't,he decided to pay a fine in which we refuse to collect so he got out of the game"Emmanuel answered,I was relieved

"Jealous?"tonh asked

"What?, jealous?,no, why would I be"I lied

"So,okay sweetheart,you call that a date?"Jax asked as he joined us,my jaw dropped,date??like seriously,with who??,he laughed as he spoke to whosoever he was talking with

"Seriously,I can't compare you to any other girl, you're different and unique"he smiled,the guys just watch him do his thing,so he had already liked someone else after he found out about my condition

"Do you guys want to speak with her?"he asked

"No,no,no,not at all"they replied respectively,was he really speaking to some girl??

"I love you"he smiled

"If you want me to say it again,I will,cause I mean it"he added

"Jax"Emmanuel complained

"Okay, I'll call you back in the night"he said

"I love you too bye"he said and hung up

"Well,you guys were saying?"he asked, no one answered,damn,I felt my cheeks go red,I was so upset and jealous

"Since y'all wouldn't answer, I'm going to the library to read history"he stood up

"Isn't Phoebe suppose to teach you?"Zayn asked

"She's busy"he answered,I wanted to talk but I couldn't,he walked away

"Are you guys fine?"they chorused,I looked at them

"Huh,does it look like we are?"I asked

"Maybe you should go talk to him"Zayn suggested

"Okay"I stood up and walked to the library,I could see his back view,I was scared to approach him,I breathe in and out before walking up to him

"Jax"I called to him,he didn't answer

"Jax"I called again

"What"he stopped reading looked at me

"I need to talk to you"why was I so scared to talk to him

"I don't have anything to say to you"he said as he packed up,was my presence irritating him?he stood up and was about to walk away

"Do you like someone else?"I blurted,he stopped walking,my eyes got teary

"Just answer me!do you like someone else!?"I yelled with anger and jealousy as I cried,I wasn't expecting myself to yell but well I did,he didn't say anything,he looked pissed as well

"If you're doing this intentionally,you're hurting me,you really are"my voice broke

"And I'm sorry about what happened earlier this morning,I was just pissed,I didn't know what came over me, I'm sorry"I continued

"Please Jax,don't like anybody else,just me"I said,I think I finally admitted I liked him,I was serious,the asthmatic thing was gonna be kept as secret since he doesn't know yet,i don't care anymore,I loved him,I really did

"That's exactly how I felt this morning Phoebe, I'm sorry I acted the way I did,that was the only way I knew we'll get to talk again"he apologized holding my hands,I nodded understanding him

"Phoebe,do you love me?"he asked staring at me

"...yes"it took me time to answer tho,I smiled,he doesn't know about my condition,and I pray he doesn't know,he hugged me and gave a peck on my forehead

"Well,well,well,see what we got here!"it was definitely Zayn,I giggled,the guys were here too

"So,you guys are a thing now?"Tony asked

"What does it look like dummy"Samuel answered

"It's just a question man!"Tony said laughing

"We have a bet center to go to Phoebe"Zayn said,it skipped my mind

"Am not going"I and jax chorused

"Zayn,this connection is high"Emmanuel laughed,I quickly checked my phone,Kay had already sent the password,I emailed it to Zayn

"I just sent the password to you Zayn"I said

"Okay,will check,byee"he said as he and the guys walked out

"So you're going home now?"he asked as he sat down

"Yeah, I'll call Kay to come pick me up"I said

"Oh,well,I was thinking if we could hang out"he was shy

"Okay"I smiled,then he stood up,I did the same too.

"Where would you like to go"he asked as he drove

"Um, I'm not sure,ion know"I said

"Okay,I know where to take us"he smiled,then I remembered when his dad hit his mum

"Jax"I called to him

"Yes babe"he answered,I didn't even see his dad face clearly

"Hmm,did your dad apologize to your mum?"I had to ask,he stopped smiling

"He never apologies,all he cares about his money, business and money!"he almost yelled

"I'm sorry"I said feeling for him

"Yeah, I'm good,I have you with me now"he said smiling at me,I smiled back

"Babe,how about we go see a movie"he suggested

"Great"I agreed

As soon as we got there,he bought our tickets and popcorn as we headed to the film room as we sat to watch

"Stop laughing Phoebe,it's not even funny"he smiled as I laughed

"Sorry but I can't help it,it's funny,only you isn't laughing"I laughed

"This will have to go a long way"he said lowly.

After the movie,we went to the restaurant section which was downstairs,we both sat down

"I think I'm famished"Jax said

"Uh,me too"I said

"Okay,be right back"he stood up and left.seconds after he left...

"Hey"I heard a voice,twas unfamiliar,yeah I was right,he was a guy

"Hey"I smiled warmly

"Hm, I'm sorry to bother you"he apologized

"It's fine"I said,he was a blonde,he had red strips attached to his hair,Jax was more taller than he was tho,he had a little bit matured face unlike Jax,he had a baby face but mature mind,he was dressed In coloured outfits unlike Jax,black was his color.

"Well,am Clark Johnson,you can call me CJ"he said

"I'm Phoebe erlone"I said

"Nice to meet you"he said as he should hands with me

"Hmm"I said

"So which school are you from"he asked

"Concord college"I answered

"Nice,i convocated.last year from Cambridge"he said

"Hm, congrats"I think I felt uncomfortable

"I'm in my last year"I added

"Thought as much too,so you came here alone?"he asked

"No"I answered straight away

"Can we be friends?"he requested

"Huh?"I questioned

"No,I meant, friends,just friends"he said

"I know"I said not feeling interested in his Friendship

"Uh? what's your say"he asked

"Okay"I said,I was getting tired of the convo

"Your, your number please,can I get your number? please?"he stammered,damn, nigga needs to mind his business

"Okay"I said giving it to him

"I hope you don't have a bad impression on me"he asked

"No"I answered,he answered a phone call

"Okay bye"he said and hung up

"Hmm, I'll have to go now Phoebe"he said smiling, good,and where the heck is Jax

"Bye"he said before leaving, just go ah

"Bye"I said faking a smile

"Oh Jesus"I said as I buried my head on the table then raised it up

"Darn where are you Jax"I asked as I was about to call him

"I'm here"he answered

"What took your time"I asked

"Sorry was delayed"he was normal,not smiling,not frowning

"Oh"I said

"Let's go, I'm taking you home"he said

"So fast"I asked,he didn't even get what he said he was going to get,I thought he said he's famished

"Yes"he said as he walked to his car, leaving me behind,I followed him

"I feel bad for bringing you here"he said,not smiling as he drove off

"Why"I asked

"I don't like this place"he said,but he was the one who brought me here

"That's the only reason?I asked

"What other reason could it be?"he asked

"Nothing"I answered, maybe he saw me talk to Clark, maybe not tho

Kay call came up

"I guess jax's the one bringing you home"he said,I smiled

"You guessed right"I said as I looked at him,he wasn't still smiling

"Okay,can you help me get dad some fruits home, please"he pleaded

"Kay,dad sent you not me"I argued,he pleaded

"Okay fine"I agreed

"You're gonna pay me back"I told him

"It's for dad"he bribed

"Who said I care"I smiled

"Okay fine,"he said and hung up

"Um Jax, can you get me to a nearby store, need to get something for dad"I requested

"Okay"he said as he drove

"Jax,what's wrong"I asked

"Nothing"he said not smiling

"Well at least smile"I said smiling touching his cheeks

"Phoebe"he warned

"Sorry"I withdrawed

"We here"he said as he pulled over

"Okay"I said,then I got down,as we both walked in,my phone rang,I didn't recognize the number

"Hello, who's this"I asked as I took the shopping basket,Jax did the same too

"It's CJ"he answered

"Cj??are nuts?"I asked surprisely

"What"he asked

"I wasn't expecting your call,cause we just met, thought you'd call next week, next month,even next year,sounds absurd"I said kind of pissed as I stopped walking

"Sorry,I was just eager to call you"he said,Jax had walked away leaving me behind

"Okay bye"I hung up and ran to him

"You left me behind"I said

"Well,you were so busy talking to him,didn't want to chirp in"he said looking at me

"Hm, okay'i said

"are you done shopping?"he asked as cj's call came in,I declined

"No no, I'd be done soon"I said

"Okay"he said,I went to pick up other stuffs,as soon as I was done,we went to the counter to pay,as I was about to pay

"I'll pay"he decided,not looking at me.

Cj called again as we walked back in to the car,had to switch off my phone

"Just answer it, I'm not bothered"he said not looking at me,not smiling

"Neh,it's fine"I said.and there was a long silence till we got home

"Here,it's for you"he said as he handed a shopping bag over to me

"Thanks"I said

"Aren't you still gonna smile?"I asked,he looked bothered,I sighed as I hugged him tightly

"I love you Phoebe,I really do"he said,he sounded sad

"I love you more Jax"I said smiling

"Jax is gonna miss his bae"he said

"Phoebe is gonna miss her boo"I blushed,I pulled away

"You're gonna see me in school tomorrow okay,so don't miss me took much"I said and gave him a peck on the cheek,he tried to smile

"Bye babe"he said

"Bye"I said,the he gave me a light peck on my lips and entered his car, driving off.

I took the shopping bags and walked in meeting dad.

He has been staring at us

"Dad,what have you been doing"I asked suspiciously

"Nothing,just nothing"he said pretendiously

"Anyway,Kay told me to get this stuffs for you"I said as I handed it over to him

"Oh you're back"Kay said as he walked downstairs, sitting on the couch

"Phoebe what's his name"he asked smiling,I was waiting for him to ask that

"You wanna know his name"I teased

"Yeah,I mean,you, Phoebe,my daughter,a boyfriend?"he asked smiling as he touched my cheeks

"Yish! seriously dad, you're freaking me out"I said as I sat beside Kay

"Don't let dad know please"I whispered to Kay

"Why"he whispered back

"Nothing,just for now"I answered

"And mum?"he asked,I nodded

"So what's his name"he said as he ate one of what I bought him

"JB"I answered

"JB?like you mean,Justin Bieber?JB?"he asked,Kay laughed

"Oh,so you know Justin Bieber dad"Kay asked,I chucked

"Of course,why not!"dad laughed

"Yes Justin Bieber dad,JB"i laughed as I talked

"Oh really,my daughter is dating a celebrity"dad shouted

"Dad,dad,stop acting like a child,you might want to low your voice"Kay said as he went to meet him and talked lowly

"Oh,oh,it's a secret"he said,I couldn't stop laughing

"Phoebe,who owns the second shopping bag"he asked,I quickly took it

"JB bought it for me"I said

"Woah"they both exclaimed

"Yeah,and I'm gonna keep it all to myself"I said as I stood up and walked to my room

"Greetings to JB"dad yelled,I laughed entering my room.
