Chapter 63
I didn’t listen to him and ran towards him and pushed one of the guy and he stumbled looking at me confused. ” No, please don’t hit him, leave Vincent alone!”
Vincent whipped around and closed the distance between us in an instant, his gaze full of fear. His shaking arms slid around me and pulled me to his body.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
He was holding me tightly ducking me onto his chest, covering me in embrace.” Idiot didn’t I tell you stay where you were! What if you would get hurt? ”
I started crying heavily and he shushed me.” It’s okay…… I am here now.” He cradled me caressing my hair, rubbing my back soothingly.
” Hey man I guess he’s telling the truth……” I heard a boy saying. Then we suddenly heard siren ringing indicating cops incoming.
” F*** police…… Let’s run……” Another boy said and every body started running off.
Vincent hugged me more tightly, and everything in me exploded, so many emotions racing and colliding against each other as I lost myself in his embrace.
” Shhh, it’s okay, everything’s alright now, you’re safe with me baby girl ” His hands were so gentle, so caring, holding me delicately.
I started weeping heavily and he lifted me up like I was a small kid, locking my legs on his waist, rubbing my back.
I looked at him through my tears and we made an eye contact. Vincent’s hot breath fanned my face, making my skin hypersensitive of his movements and his nearness.
His face was twisted with pain, his eyes teary and he kissed my forehead, his lips trembling vigorously on my skin.
” Sorry I was late……” He whispered looking at me, his voice shaking and a tear escaped from his eyes slicing me deep within more hot tears inducing from my eyes in return.
He pressed his lips onto the length of my nose holding me tightly as ever. ” I shouldn’t have let you go.”
I cried out as the pain, weakness imbued my body. ” I…… I am sorry it’s all my fault.” He said, his voice trembling.
My eyes was shutting everything blurring out. ” I will never let you go now, I am sorry. I will keep you safe with me.” He patted my back and I was crying heavily holding him tightly.
” It’s finished now…… You don’t have to endure this hell anymore. I am here f#…#……#.*.#……# ” His sound wasn’t audible anymore, my eyes shutting and I tried to open my eyes.
I tried to concentrate on what he was saying but I was breathing heavily, everything completely getting numb.
” Jennie? JENNIE?????”
I sensed him tapping my cheek but I was giving out, a sharp shrill sound hitting my ears and my head. I was fainting, blackness engulfing me completely.
* Morning……*
I held my head whining, light hitting my face and I tried to get up but flinched out instantly. Vincent sitting on the floor, his head laying on the edge of bed of my side. He had intertwined his fingers with mine.
He was dozing off facing me, holding my palm tightly and everything broke in me as my eyes wandered to his dried tears. Was he sitting like this in front me the whole night?
I reached my hand to touch his hair but drew it back looking away. I released my hand from his and got up pushing the blanket and I guess he sensed it and slowly got up rubbing and blinking his eyes.
Our eyes suddenly met and everything froze in me, each other taking everything in. His eyes ironically seemed sincere and somehow different.
Should I thank him for risking his life for me and rescuing me from the mob attack or blast him for he being the actual reason for all my sufferings.
I watched him carefully, not sure what I should do. He looked as if he pondered over me, but I didn’t plan to waste even a minute more on him.
He’s the reason for all this!!!!!!!!
I got up without paying attention to him, walking off silently and entered the bathroom ignoring him. I brushed and washed my face angrily completely pissed at him. Go die!
I opened the door and unintentionally his eyes met mine, clearly showing hurt and regret I wonder if it was. He looked like a sadnened puppy again, standing at a corner completely silent, his invisible puppy tail waggling. Whom am I kidding……
Don’t you go puppy mode now!!!
I looked away completely pissed and started walking off the room. I walked downstairs and saw Emma, Xavier, Rose, Jisoo, Aaron, Blake, Harper, Taeyong on the hall.
” Jennie! ” Harper ran towards me and hugged me. ” Thank god you are alive!”
Heh?
Rose chirped and pounced on me hugging me tightly ruffling my hair. ” God! Why did you wander off from the terrace? We were so worried for you!”
Blake looked at me with serious expression and I chose to ignore him completely too. You too die!
” Come have breakfast Jennie, you seem little weak and tired. ” Emma strode towards me hugging me tightly.
Emma made me sit and served breakfast. My head was paining heavily and all I felt was gloomy as I was eating.
” Oh Vincent! You are here, come have breakfast.” Emma chirped but I didn’t look at him, my gaze fixed onto the plate.
I sensed him sit near me, his warmth radiating and I looked away facing opposite, not sparing a single glance, eating silently.
Vincent placed his cup down deliberately making a sound by keeping it in my side and I chose to ignore it, not bothering to give attention.
Everyone were chatting and chirping and I ate silently. Only missing one was Elora. I guess Elora was still sleeping.
Vincent clinked his plate with a spoon deliberately and again …… I chose to ignore him completely, not at all sparing a single glance at him.
I could say he was trying to get my attention by making sounds and I gave a zero attention to him.
I sensed him shift closer to me moving his chair more closely towards me and my skin tingled all over, hypersensitive to his nearness.
His new way of driving my attention and I was too aware of him sitting so close to me. His knee was slightly touching mine now, erupting goosebumps all over me.
I shifted the chair little away from him, and he did it again, coming closer to me. Why you!!
I guess we were looking idiots in front of everyone. He was very close to me, I wanted to kick his chair but I chose to eat silently suppressing my anger.
” What happened to that two boys who caused all that mess?” Emma questioned while eating.
” What will happen…… got caught by cops of course. Those knuckle heads…… none of them have a single brain.” Blake snorted sipping his coffee.
” If they really had to battle, could have gone to silent place. They call themselves gangsta it seems…… I would have f***ing challenged him into an abandoned place and rip him there. No headache of police and the person getting slashed too.”
Woah……
I gripped my spoon tightly, of course I had to expect this from this Mr. Gangster. What is he made up of, volcano????
I just want to run away from these vicious people, they just talk about like people’s lives are sold on markets and crush them like nothing.
One guy saying I will stop his breath, another telling I will rip or slash him and other one blackmailing to fire the poor person from the work.
F***ing rich people……
I got from my table taking the empty plate and putting it into sink. I had enough of this.
” Lisa, Rosé I am coming to the house, I’ll be back in a minute, wait for me.”
” Wait…… why are you coming with us?” Rosé questioned me with confused expression.
” I said I’m coming, Wait. For. Me.” I glared at her and started walking towards the stairs and I sensed someone coming behind me but I chose to walk ahead.
I entered the room and took my clothes stuffing it in a paper bag. I entered the bathroom and took my brush and kept it in the bag.
” What are you doing?” I heard his voice and I ignored him walking pass through him stuffing my belongings.
” Are you really thinking of leaving? ” I continued to pack my things, ignoring his words.
” I am f***ing talking to you Jennie!” He grabbed my arm dashing me into his hard chest and I immediately slacked my arm off him.
” Don’t you dare touch me, you son of a b*tch! ” I hissed at him venomously stepping back.
