Chapter 34: Chapter 34

Phoebe's POV

After spending some weeks with jax's mum and my final exam.i decided to come back home.

Today is suppose to be one of my happiest day but celebrating it without Jax makes it no sense.my hopes aren't high on Jax anymore.its been 6 months now that Jax left.i haven't seen him,spoke with him or even touch him.

I kept receiving calls while i sobbed bitterly on my bed.i refused to pick up.

"Phoebe,Phoebe"it was dad's voice

"Phoebe, please come out"mum pleaded

"It's your day Phoebe"Kay said,it's not my day without Jax

"Phoebe please come out,we are all on your neck phoebe.please answer us"dad said.then I gently opened the door.

"Happy convocation day!"they all said suprisely.well I didn't see that coming.

"Jax's not coming"I said as I cried.

"You shouldn't really bother about making suprises and giving me gifts"I added as my voice broke.

"He'll come when he needs to Phoebe"mum said as she hugged me and pulled away

"The surgery went well,I know that"dad said trying to raise my hopes high

"It's been 6 months dad"I said

"Yes, doesn't mean he's not gonna come back, he'll be back,trust me"Kay encouraged

"You believe that?"mum asked ,I nodded yes.they smiled

"We brought you this package,it's all you need for today"dad said as he handed over the package to me

"Now go get dressed, you're so late already and don't forget I'll do the make-up"Kay said

"Yeah"I managed to smile as I walked back to my room.

I walked in the auditorium wearing a multi colored turtle neck short ball gown (Picture In This Chapter Profile.)

The program had come to an end.i carefully located myself to the table my name was indicated on and had my seat.i wasn't feeling comfortable though.i scrutinized around,I saw the guys.

They were all looking good and inviting.everything and everywhere was looking all arranged and beautiful.

"Okay students,it's time to give out awards"the M.C announced, everyone was quiet

"Most fashionable female of the is Lucy Bowen"he announced as everyone applaud.there was no need.she wasn't around.i didn't know where that tears ran through from.i quickly wiped it off gently.Only few students knew what happened and those where the ones who refuse to cheer up,when her name was mentioned

"Most fashionable male of the year,Zayn Malik"he announced.everyone cheered.zayn deligently stood up and walked to the stage, collecting his prize and that was how it went.

My name was mentioned lots of times and I can say everyone in my group was mentioned,not excluding Jax. Unfortunately,he's not around to receive his prize.Even Emma name was mentioned,lucky she.

I received a message on phone with an unknown number.it says

*Meet me outside*I panicked a bit,I quickly stood up and walked outside,meeting Clark thinking it was Jax

"Clark?"I was surprised

"Hey Phoebe"he greeted smiling

"Hey"my eyes were already glittering.i was happy to see him.

"Happy convocation day Phoebe"he congratulated me

"Thanks"I half smiled

"When did you get released"I asked

"Yesterday.kay told me you'd be convocating today,so I decided to show before traveling out tonight"he said

"You're traveling out?"I asked

"Yeah,I wanna start a new life somewhere else.its been tough for me.i wanna start over again and I'm sorry about everything I did"he apologized

"Clark,I understand"I half smiled

"Yeah,and I'm sorry about Jax as well"he said

"He'll be fine"I said not smiling,he hugged me

"You'll be fine too"he consoled me

"Thanks so much"I said as we pulled away

"You're beautifully welcomed"he said smiling,he really does love to smile.

"Bye,greetings to everyone and your dad,thank him so much for me"he said

"Bye,I will"he said and walked away as he got to his car and walked away

"Phoebe!"someone yelled out my name,I turned back and saw an unfamiliar face.he looked familiar tho.

"Hey"he greeted smiling

"Hey"I greeted

"Remember me?"he asked,I looked through his face.i think I do remember him

"We met at the sherrif"he said,yeahh

"Frank?"I asked not to sure

"No,mark"he corrected

"Oh mark,what are you doing here and how'd you know my name"I asked

"Your name was announced among the people given awards so yeahh,I know your name, congrats anywhere"he smiled

"Yeah,the first question"I demanded

"Oh,I have a friend here who invited me,so I decided to come, fortunately for me, I met you"he said

"Great"I said feeling not interested in the convo

"By the way,I convocated last week tho,Noble height college"he said,like I asked him

"Congrats"I told him

"So,what was wrong with you the day I met"he asked.seriously??aren't we just meeting formally for the first time?would you mind your business??

"You really do love gossip,don't you?"I said

"I suppose that's a compliment not an insult"he said

"Both"I told him,he rolled his eyes.

"Are you answering me or not"he asked,jeez

"There was nothing wrong with me"I told him confidently

"Oh I see"he said

"Yeah, what were you doing here"I asked

"Went for my mum"he said

"Your mum?"I was surprised

"She didn't really do anything really serious tho.the cops found her dead drunk the night before that day and brough her"he said

"Your mum drinks?that's not healthy at all"I told him

"Yeah,she does,not because she wants to but cause she's depressed.she fell into depression since when my dad died and since then,she started drinking"he said smiling.he wasn't even feeling remorseful

"You're not even remorseful about the situation"I said

"Nah,I really don't have too.i have endured alot since when he left and I've cried enough.i just need to stay happy and strong and for my mum? she'd get better soon .it's for the main time."he said.i was inspired.i felt for him

"Sorry about that.i can't believe you're so opened to me,I mean,we just met and you know"I said,he understood what I meant

"Hmm,let's just say I am.just want us to start a good frienship from here,how's that"I asked

"Good enough"I smiled,I can't believe I'm smiling,I can't believeee

"Can I get your cell?"he asked,I nodded yes and gave it to him.

"Phoebe"I turned to see who called me.it was Zayn

"Hey"I greeted

"I was looking for you"he said with a frown on his face.

"I was with Mark"I said

"Mark meet my best friend,Zayn Malik.Zayn meet mark"I introduced

"Hey Mark"Zayn greeted smiling as he gave an handshake,mark returned it.i was relieved.i thought he'd make a scene.

"Nice meeting you,happy convocation"mark said

"Thanks"he said

"You've got a pretty best friend"mark commented

"Yeah thanks...I know"I guess zayn forced out a some.tony came up.

"Guys,it's time to take pictures"he said hurriedly and looked at mark

"Hey you,black guy,who is he"he asked

"Mark, cool,isn't he?"Zayn said smirking folding his arms

"Yeah cool, I'm tony"he introduced

"Nice meeting you"mark smiled.

"I think we're wasting our precious time with this nigga right here"Zayn said mockingly smiling

"Zayn"I warned

"It's fine.i can take pictures with you guys right?"he asked

"Why not"tony said as we walked together to the picture spot

"Wow,lots of people"mark said staring.

"Mind taking pictures with me?"he requested

"Yeah sure"I said then he brought out his phone and took pictures,Zayn came up.

"Hey,sorry for interrupting but the photographer needs phoebe in our group photoshoot"Zayn said

"No problem,can I join?"he asked

"NO"he said with a commanding tone

"Like I said it's a group photoshoot so NO"he added as he dragged me away from him to the photo spot as we took the picture and as soon as we were done.zayn dragged me to his side.

"What's wrong with you Malik?"I asked.he smiled m

"Well, nothing is wrong with me Erlone, I'm definitely fine.lets take selfies"he said, bringing out his phone as we took pictures

"Jeez,what are you doing here"Zayn said as he noticed mark appearance in our first shot.i smiled

"Did I come at the right time?"he asked

"You're not suppose to be here, really"Zayn said as I smiled.he was torturing

"Don't mind him mark, he's being childish"I said

"You'd tell Jax that right?If he was here, trying to get your attention and one nigga is here intruding?"Zayn said.my mood changed.

"That was rude Zayn"I said as I frowned

"Um,I don't know who Jax is but I'm sorry if I'm chirping in too much,bye Phoebe"mark said and walked away.

"You know,you couldn't have said that"I said walking away as I brought out my phone to call kay.i was leaving

"I didn't mean it okay"he said following me.

"If you didn't mean what you said,great,then go apologize to mark."I said sternly

"What?I can't apologize to that guy,I didn't do anything wrong"Zayn said sturbornly

L

"You talked rude for crying out loud,you were so rude and he felt bad about it.and you,you really didn't have to involve Jax"I almost yelled.

Emmanuel and Samuel walked up

"Guys"Samuel called on us

"Tell Zayn to apologise to mark"I said folding my arms.

"Who's mark"they both chorused

"A new friend"I answered

"A Black"I added

"Oh, emmauel, wasn't it that vuywe just saw taking selfie with Tony some seconds ago before we came here"Samuel asked

"Guess so"he answered

"I'm sorry"zayn apologized

"Not mark not to me"I said

"Fine"=I said and walked away.

"Is there any chemistry between you and Mark?"Samuel asked

"No!"I snapped

"Why would I start dating someone I just formally met today.think straight.and I still love Jax, I'm for Jax alone"I said and hissed

"Oh right"emmauel said

"He's cool tho"Samuel added as Kay came up

"You're leaving now?"Samuel asked

"Yes"I said as I moved towards his car

"Bye"I waved and entered

"Why are you leaving so early"Kay asked as he drove off.

"Nothing"I answered

"Okay"he said.
