Chapter 14
MONTHS AGO.
" You love me right?..."
"I do, Nate" She chuckled lightly.
"Then tell me everything about you" He stated looking at the crystal blue eyes who was suddenly filled with fear and surprise.
"Everything about me is shitty babe...I just want to leave a pure life and never want anyone bothering me about my past." She slowly said like a note of warning.
"Everything about you is a past?"
"Uh- huh, just be there for me when I need you that's all I need from you" Jade kisses him lightly on the lips.
Nate continued to stare at the
phone expressionless as he thought of why they were both killed.
Who was this man? What did Jade do that Camille was involved? Those promises they shared were definitely nothing.
He definitely knew that Jade was no saint at all even though she pretended to everyone one that she was. You could say Jade was a wolf in a sheep clothing, Nate thought he knew everything thing about her but he just realized he had known nothing for all the past years they had been together. He realised now that to Jade he was just a boyfriend with benefits or maybe?
"Are you okay?"
Nate jerked out of his painful memories and thoughts as he heard a soothing and calm voice beside him. They were still at music room with the cellphone clenched in his palms.
"On the night Jade died, she called me..." Nate slowly turned to Ariel whose face was filled with concern.
"She did?"
"Mm...she did"
" Babe am so sorry for everything have done but I badly need your help am in complete danger...Hello...Nate are you there?...Don't fuck'en ignore me! I am gonna die!.. Hello... You don't want me dead right?... you can't live without me you know... neither can you find another girl -"
" What did she say?" Ariel asked curiously.
"She was in danger and would die if I don't come... can't live without her -"
"Did you go?" Ariel slowly asked looking at him in the face which made him feel abit guilty.
Would she had been alive if I had gone?
Nate turned to the side. "No... maybe I wanted her dead?"
Ariel didn't know what to say at this confession. She wouldn't blame him but at the same time Jade might still be alive today.
"Sometimes I see myself as her murderer, you know" Nate said with a light sob.
"You're not a murderer, remember you told me on that same day Jade died... you saved my life," Ariel paused as he slowly turned to her. " A murderer can't do that. You were just hurt, betrayed "
"A murderer can't make a change in ones life but you did by saving me that day from my death.Not only did you save me from dying... you saved me from my agony. I had always wanted a saviour to save me from my agony then you came along. "
She took a deep sigh.
"Saviour?"
"Mm...am not used in saying long words or speeches let's focus on what we really want rather than the past. See you later" Ariel flashed a light smile at the person she called ' her saviour ' Nate Chandrick .
Time:7:00pm
Kema walked along the pavement with her earplugs in a full blast volume.
"let's light the dynamite...ta na na -"
She stopped singing while removing her ear plugs when she sighted her mother with some food delivery boxes.
Her mother worked at her school but avoided her anytime they crossed paths. She was hurt by that but at the same time knew it wasn't her mom's intention too.
"Mom!!" She screamed her name as she came closer hugging her tightly.
"Why did you scream that way like am running away uh? " She smiled at her daughter while releasing her.
"I missed you... besides where are you going to deliver this food?" Kema asked.
"At Netwalk street. "
"I will do the delivery, you need to rest" Kema collected the boxes from her immediately while starting the bike.
"Its no 19...be careful!"
"Sure" She wore her helmet immediately and rode off.
Kema approached a door with a sign ' no 19'. She pressed the ring bell while she carefully held the three boxes in her hands.
"Is no one home or what?" She pressed the bell again but still there was no response.
"Am I at the wrong house? It's definitely no 19 I clearly heard it" She sighed frustrated. Kema was about to ring the bell again when the door slightly opened revealing a young, masculine and familiar figure whose hair was wet with water dripping slightly. His wore a blue shirt with the button undone exposing his chest. Hello, handsome.
Kema adjusted her voice. " Am here to deliver this food-" She paused as the person tilted his head to face her. "Aidan!"
"Do l know you?" Aidan asked as she suddenly said his name.
Did he know me? Hello am Kema!
"Oh I do know you but am not sure about you...am here to deliver this food boxes, No 19, Netwalk street." Kema said offended by his question.
"Oh...come in. My mom ordered it am sure she left some here " He opened the door while she came inside the brightly furnished apartment.
"Wait here abit" He went inside while her eyes scrutinized the living room.
Wait...he doesn't even recognize her?Am I that invincible? And we are in the same class!.
"Here you go" Kema almost jumped as he heard Aidan's voice which sounded deep and husky.
"Didn't mean to scare you... but it looks like you know me." He
handed the money to her.
"Uh - huh, class president" Kema flashed a knowing smile at him.
"We attend the same school?"
"Yeah...and same class am really disappointed you don't recognize me prez or Aidan"
"You can't blame me, i don't keep faces for long. " Aidan said apologetically.
"I can't blame you though we literally don't even talk at all this is the first time" Kema chuckled lightly.
"So what's your name then?" He asked collecting the boxes from her.
"Am Kema"
"Kema," He repeated it like he was trying to remember something. "So how is school going?"
"Why don't you come tomorrow if you are concerned" Kema blurted even though she knew the reason he wasn't coming.
"I will" Aidan slowly said.
"They all miss you maybe me too... You can't mourn the dead for forever neither for long. Good night Aidan and see you at school tomorrow" She flashed a smile at the handsome figure as she walked out of his apartment closing the door behind her.
Kema? Tomorrow?
