MY BAD BOY CRUSH - CHAPTER 38
Violet POV
I can’t believe that I went home from the hospital by myself. The doctor said that it was a minor issue so I could get discharged immediately.
But that wasn’t what bothered me. He also said something else and that was about Penelope.
Hearing about it I felt bad for her and I shook my head reminiscing the doctor’s words.
**FLASHBACK**
“About the girl who did this. Are you both having a misunderstanding” The doctor asked and I shook my head.
“It’s not really like that. She just started getting angry because she didn’t get what she wanted”I replied and the doctor smiled.
“Yeah, I think that’s what happened to her and that’s why she was that way” The doctor said and I raised a brow.
Is Penelope sick or did she also injure herself. What’s the doctor saying?
“You see I looked into her case and she has some kind of trauma. I think a family problem and the only thing that gives her solace is her studies. And seeing that she’s doing excellently good in it gives her more joy” the doctor said and I fixed the remaining puzzles together.
She must have done that because she thought I was trying to take that away from her.
I mouthed an ‘o’and looked up at the doctor and he nodded. I think he knows that I already joined the pieces together.
“She has to first heal from that first before it escalates because she might end up hurting anyone who tries to get better than her” The doctor said and I nodded.
“I think I can help doctor” I said and he hummed.
“I’m her friend and she barely keeps friends at school. Although I don’t know much of her personal life but with the little you just told me I think I can help her get over it”
I feel really bad hearing about this and not from Penelope herself. She must be facing a lot when she doesn’t have that comfort she needed at home.
It would have been better if she explained things to me. Now I made it to myself that I was gonna help her.
“Thanks Miss Campbell. I’ll tell the nurses to get you discharged immediately since your guardian already paid the bills and signed the papers” He was referring to Clover.
I can’t believe that after everything he still helped me out. I’m a fool for ditching me. My life and mind is just a mess and I can’t figure out anything.
**FLASHBACK ENDS**
I spent the whole night looking at CLOVER’S window hoping he would open up. Maybe I would see a bit of his face and tell him I was wrong back at the hospital.
But one part of my mind refrained me from doing so. Looking at him from afar was a better idea.
I woke up the next day really uncomfortable. My neck was stiff and my hands were hurting.
Guess why? Because I slept up looking out the window. It’s hasn’t been up to a day yet.
I got ready to school and just like the previous day, I didn’t see Mum and also I couldn’t have breakfast.
Getting to school thirty minutes before classes, I went to my locker to get my books but there was someone standing there.
It was Ryan. He tucked his both hands in his pockets and he was looking down.
“Can you excuse me” My voice made him look up and he released a side smile.
“Umm.. I’m sorry but I want us to talk for a minute” He proposed and I thought about it.
I’m no more with Clover but I don’t want to tell him. I want him to get rid of those feelings he has for me first.
“Wh@??ver you want to say Ryan say it here. I’m in a hurry”I said placing my both hands on my waist.
“I’m sorry Violet. These past weeks has not been easy for us and I h@?? the fact that we keep on fighting. I can never accept that guy Clover but if you wanna date him I don’t care anymore but can we still be best friends. I h@?? us having this long quarrel” Ryan said and I twitched my lips.
“But what about your feelings Ryan. It’s clouding your judgement too” I said. I needed to know if he’ll still keep that on.
“I’m trying to get rid of them. You know we’ve been childhood friends but I can’t keep fighting a battle that I’ve already lost” Ryan said and I hugged him after that.
“I missed you Ryan” I said to his ear and I heard him chuckle lightly.
“I missed you too Violet”
“And about Clover, we broke up” I said and Ryan immediately pulled away and frowned.
“What do you mean by that? Did he hurt you. I knew that guy was a total playboy….” I held his palm.
“He didn’t do anything to me Ryan. I was the one who broke things off with him” I said and I knew that he was confused a little bit.
“I’m good Ryan and I think that was the best choice. Wasn’t that what you wanted” I asked.
“If you feel okay about it. I don’t think there’s any point pressing the issue further. Let’s go to class” He intertwined our hands together.
He helped me carry my books and we both walked to class together until a girl bumped into me and her phone fell to the floor.
“Look where you are going I have something important to capture Leftover” she said and hissed before running off.
I scoffed. She was the one who bumped into me and then she dare call me a leftover. Such guts!
Then I noticed that most of the school were running towards the direction the girl was going and it got me curious.
“Are you okay Violet”He asked and I nodded.
“Is anything going on outside” I asked Ryan and he shrugged.
“Yunno they like to make a fuss over nothing. Let’s ignore it” He said and tried pulling me away but I resisted.
“I think I am gonna check it out” I said and left him going towards the direction where everyone took.
They all formed a semi-circle at the entrance of the school and I paved way to check it out.
My legs paused my body couldn’t move any longer at the scene I was. It was Clover and Belinda was kissing him.
Am I really dreaming. Not me here thinking about how bad I talked to him but he was already kissing another girl.
I couldn’t move and neither could I keep watching the scene in front of me.
Then I felt someone use his hands to cover my eyes and pulled me away from the crowd.
