Come Craig, let's go inside.

Inside? Are you not supposed to take him to the hospital? Whitney asked.

I am fine, I just need to rest. Craig said as Gregory help him to go inside.

Whitney, you should rest, I will be right back.

Getting Craig to the bed, he try to take off his remain wears.

Let it be.

But you are hurt, let me take care of you.

I said let me be, I am fine.

Really?

Yes Gregory, I am fine.

Fine, I will not bother you again. Gregory get mad, he grabbed Craig's car keys from the cupboard.

Hey where are you going? Is Craig alright?

Don't asked me about him, just come with me. Gregory speak to Whitney, he is sad, his heart is burning, how can he not want him to care for his wound.

Cathy enter craig's room, she was wiping the wound.

Gregory, I told you to let me be. Cathy didn't reply him, she just continue applying the hot water with towel.

Ouch!

Sorry! Cathy voice came up, Craig held her hand.

Cathy, what are you doing here? Do you want Tony to get mad at you?

I poison him, so he won't know.

Craig eyes bulge out, he struggles to sit. Why did you do that?

Stop it, I didn't kill him, I just want him to sleep, I got it from one of your staff, he gave it to his girlfriend.

So he could have his way with the girl?

No, he just want her to sleep, she is disturbing him and he have lot of work to do, you can go ask him if you think that I am lying but you should let me finish fast so I could go back before Tony wakes up.

Cathy...

Come on, I am not doing it because you save me but you are my friend, I care about you and your pain is my pain so let me fixed it as a friend.

He let Cathy clean the wound and she applied some antiseptic to it.

Ouch!

Sorry, sorry, I am done

Cathy, please break up with Tony, if you are with him, I can't be at rest I just felt that he will hurt you.

Don't stress yourself, I know Tony will break up with me, his mom doesn't like me, he couldn't even tell his mom that I am his girlfriend, maybe today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, it will happen but not just now but I know it will definitely happen.

George is right, i am a very stupid girl, I don't learn, I don't think before I do things, I act before I think, I just hate myself for been stupid again for putting myself in pain all the time.

Cathy tears drop.

Shh! Stop crying, you should lie. She lie besides Craig, she wants to sleep.

Cathy! Please don't sleep.

Can't I sleep again? Cathy asked almost in tears.

Not that, your hair.

Oh, I forget that you don't like it scattered.

No, just lie, let me run my hand on it. She didn't argue, she just lie, Craig pushed his hand into her hair, is like he is massaging her head, he pushed his face to her, the door flee open

Cathy!

Whitney call her, she stand in a hurry and walk out with Whitney.

You don't want me to care for you but you allow her? You want to replace me with her right?

That is not true, I love you and did you cry? Gregory had cry in front of Whitney like some baby, he felt bad that Craig get hurt because of his stupidity and now Craig doesn't want him to care for him.

Come here, I don't want you to feel bad, you are my baby brother and it's only right for me to protect you.

Craig struggles to sit, Gregory go to him, this time he let him help him.

Don't ever feel that I will get tired of your love, come on lie besides me

Gregory lie besides him, he run his hand on his back

Is this what you want to do to her?

Yes, I just want to run my hand on her hair and probably kiss her for the last time

The last time? Gregory asked confused, he throw his phone to him, Gregory read, his mouth fall open.

How did your dad find out that you love her? Do I freaking know? I was so stupid to let my guard down, how I end up making them realize I have feelings for her, only God knows what mom and your dad are thinking now.

This is bad. Gregory tears drop, he remembers himself and Whitney.

Why are you crying?

I don't want to live without her, I might just die but I don't want to hurt her also

Relax, you will not hurt her, I will talk to Jane to let you be with her for now till her final exam.

No, I can't stay without her.

Shut up, let's take it one step at a time, let's make her let you stay with Whitney for now and after her exam we think of something else.

Fine, I will wait till then. The two lie down in no time, they are fast asleep, Whitney and Cathy into the garden, she lie on the floor while Whitney is staring at her.

Why are you looking at me?

Do you love Craig?

Hey, go slow, is it because you saw me with Craig, I just like his friendship, he is a good person, he is like George, he is kind, but he is in pain, so many pain in his life, do you know he took bruises for the girl he loves?

To think is his first time to love a girl, the girl is his first love.

Whitney know that Craig is in love with her but her words had made her confused.

But...

Yes, the girl doesn't even have an ideal that he is in love with her.

Whitney, you should rest, let me go see if Tony is up, I know I have stress you from your trip.

Cathy...

Come on, a little rest we not kill you and I will come back immediately I find out he is sleeping.

Alright, be careful. Cathy get to Tony room he is still sleeping, she sleep besides him, when he get up, he smiled, seeing Cathy beside him, he wants to touch her but his phone ping with message.

When he read his face darken, he look at Cathy all sad, she opened her eyes only to see that he is looking at her

Why are you looking at me?

Nothing! Nothing! He received another message, his face darken.

Tony, did they ask you to break up with me? Her voice came up, Tony look at her, that is what his mother texted him, if he doesn't leave her, she is going to kill herself, he can't disobey her, she is all that he have.

Don't worry, if you have to I will not stop you.

Beans pie, you know that I have my branch to care for in the state, so I need to go back but I just keep postponing it because...

You have reason to stay then but now you don't.

Shh! That is not it, it's...

Let's go home. Tony look at her. Yes, let's go home, I just want to be alone with you for this days before you leave.

Beans pie...

Fine, I will get my bag, so you get yours. Cathy nodded, she walked away in pains, Tony's phone ring.

Have you pack your bags?

Mom please, I love her, I can't break up with her.

Then be ready to see me in coffin.

Mother, I beg you, if there is anything I will do it but please don't ask me to leave her, I can't stay without her.

Cathy, you are back?

I am leaving with Tony. She pick her small things. Here is my address, you should come visit me when you are bored here

Why? I thought you said it's tomorrow? Is Tony forcing you to go?

No, I asked for it, I want to make it memorable, I don't know when he is going to break up with me.

Break up? Whitney asked.

What were you expecting? His mom doesn't like me, i am poor, they are rich, I have nothing in common with them.

Whitney tears drop.

Why are you crying?

Is Greg going to break up with me also? Whitney, he loves you, he can do anything to make you happy, you and Gregory, are different, he is not ashamed to introduce you to his family but Tony, he is.

Even he knows that the poor are worthless. Her tears drop. I didn't know how much I love Tony until this point that I find out I am losing him, seeing his worried face Break my heart and it make me realize that he is going to break up with me, l thought I love savior but the truth is, I love Tony, I really do but I was just hurt because of the things he did to me.

Cathy...

I hate myself for been stupid again, don't worry about me, I will be fine, I will bath, then go, he must be waiting for me.

Cathy enter the washroom, Whitney run to Gregory's room but he is not there, he rush to Craig, he hit Gregory

Greg, please get up, I beg you.

Whitney, what is it?

Please beg Tony not to break up with Cathy. Whitney, relax he is not going to break up with her, he loves her.

I don't think that love can stand when his mom is involved. Craig struggles on his feet.

Whitney, go to Cathy, distract her a bit, I and Tony will talk him.

She nodded and run back in tears, Gregory help him into Tony's room.

What do you want here? I don't want to fight.

I too don't want to fight, can you not break up with Cathy for now? Craig pleaded with him.

Who said I want to break up with her? Tony asked Craig, his phone ping again, Tony want to get it but Gregory beat him to it.

No oh!

What is it Gregory? Craig asked him.

His mom wants him to break up with her now, she wants to watch it on video call. Craig tears drop.

Tony please don't do it, you will break her heart, she can't take another pain, I beg you. He fall to his knees for Tony, Gregory look at him shock, Tony heart would had jump for joy to see him win one over him but that is not the issue.

Craig, let me go, she is not your girlfriend, so let me worry over her.

Please, even if you have to do it, let her finish her exam, I beg you

Craig!

Tony yelled and pushed him

Come on, let's leave. Gregory pulled him

Gregory, you will not understand, she is going to feel worthless because she is poor, she is going to break down, it will crush her spirit.

Craig, even if Tony is a mummy's boy, he should be sensitive enough not to hurt her, let him be

He pulled Craig up and left Tony behind, he texted his mother to give him three months, that Cathy must have been done with her exam, Cathy finish bathing, she dress up to leave.

Don't forget to come over.

I don't know when I will see you again, so I thought of hugging you.

It's okay, I will missed you. She hugged him back and talk in his ear. Please take care of Whitney for me and care for Craig bruises.

Gregory nodded, she turned to give Craig farewell, he turned his face, she sighed inwardly, Craig is avoiding her again, she left with Tony.

Gregory know she is in pain, he wants to reply her but she messaged first

He is going to break up with her, he is rich and she is poor, I am also poor like my best friend and he is rich like my boyfriend, maybe he too will break up with me. Whitney.
