1 of 100 Days (Correcting Mistakes)

Jack's POV

Today is Monday, and I'm really hoping for Elsa to attend classes. I reached to my pocket and felt it there. I smiled a bit and sighed. I hope she'll accept this.

I went to my first class and when I went to the classroom, I looked for her first. She wasn't there. I went to the last row and took a seat. I covered my face with my hands and closed my eyes. I really need to see you, Elsa.

I heard some whispers and I looked at the person who entered the room. She was there. She had her chin up and her books tightly pressed on her chest. She looked a bit different. She looked unsure, and so worried.

I wonder why.

Her eyes meet mine and my lips parted waiting for her reaction. She just stopped walking and we started for a while. I couldn't read her. If she was mad at me. Then, Kenneth entered the room and went beside her. He touched her arm and she quickly looked away. They sat far from where I sat but it was alright with me.

I wasn't expecting them to sit with me after what happened. I bit my lower lip. My lips were dry and I was thirsty. Thirsty for her attention. I just want to correct all these mistakes. As soon as possible.

I really miss her smile, her laugh, her love. The teacher entered the room and our first class started.

The bell rang and it was break time. Elsa wasn't standing up and Kenneth was waiting for het to do so. Then, Elsa shook her head and Kenneth left. It was my chance. I approached her and she looked at me innocently.

''Elsa, can I... can I talk to you?'' I asked and she stayed silent. I guess that's better than her saying no. She slowly nodded and I sat down beside her.

''I just want to give this to you.'' I told her and reached for my pocket. I took the necklace out and she became confused. It was the necklace I gave her before the accident. With the letter 'I', but now, it has a <3. It had 'I <3'. I gave it to her and she examined it.

''That's the necklace I once gave you. It had a letter I on it but now it also has a heart shape. This was my gift to you, and you lost it. Just like our memories. So, I'm giving it to you again. Hoping that our memories will come back to you that easily.'' I said and she accepted it.

''Okay, uhh, thanks.'' she whispered and put it on her bag making me frown a bit. She didn't wear it.

''I have to go now.'' she said and stood up bringing her bag with her. She was in a hurry and I think I know why. She wanted to get away from me as soon as possible. Well, I'm not giving up.

Elsa's POV

I went to the restroom and my phone rang. I took it out from my bag and and answered the call.

''Hey, Elsa. I found out that you packed some of your clothes in a bag, what happened? Are you going somewhere?'' I heard Anna ask.

''Anna, not now please? I will explain it to you later just... not now.'' I told her and sighed.

''Okay then. Tell me when you get home.'' she said and ended the call. I went to a stall and sat on the floor. I threw up and I was close to hugging the toilet. It made me feel sick and I was becoming tired. I finally stopped and leaned my head against the wall.

I got outside and went to wash my mouth with water. I looked at the mirror and I was close to crying. I still can't believe this. I'm pregnant and I don't know who the father is.

Killing this child inside me is a sin I don't want to commit. I would never do that. I can't.

I put my hand on my stomach and cried. How did all this happen to me? I'm the victim, and I always will be. Why didn't I know? My hands turned into fists and I bit my lower lip.

There's no turning back now.

***

We were all now going home and Kenneth will be driving me to my house. I was praying that I won't have to encounter Jack on the way. Kenneth had his arm on my shoulder and we were now outside of the campus.

''Are you alright?'' he asked me and I nodded. We got in his car and I looked outside. I saw him there, he looked upset and I looked at my hands.

''Do you think I should avoid Jack?'' I softly asked and Kenneth hummed.

''I don't know, you decide. I mean, I will respect your decision.'' he said and drove. It wasn't awkward. I actually trust him now, but I don't want to trust him that much.. Because I became conscious from what happened.

"So, you made up your mind?" he asked and I hummed.

"Yeah.." I whispered.

"So you're really going?" he asked and I nodded.

He became silent and we arrived at my place. I opened the door and waved him goodbye.

I went inside the house and Anna was there with mom and dad.

"We need to talk." dad said and I gulped.
