Chapter five

Katherine's POV

**

I ran straight to my room the very instance my feet hit the pavement of our compound. Breaking up with him was supposed to bring me a bit of relief but after that last kiss? He took something with him.

My peace of mind.

My peace of mind was taken from me as he drew his last breath from me and now he has left an emptiness right inside of me with absolutely nothing to hold on to.

"How do I even fix this?"

"You can't fix this Katherine. Remember why you did it in the first place so you can't break down now".

"But I miss him so terribly. My God"

"Yes you do miss him but think about this: do you want to see him come out with flying colors or not?"

"Of course i do want him to make his papers"

"Then you have to suck it up and keep holding firm to your decision. Don't fall apart just yet"

Aargh....

I had to shake my head roughly in order to clear out the little voices arguing right inside my head as I push open the door to my bedroom and went inside.

I made a quick dash for the bathroom as I turned on the shower and step under the feel of chill water on my bare skin.

I needed relief from half of the anxiety I was feeling if not all and maybe.. Just maybe, this shower might be more than just comforting.

I leaned against the tiled wall after a while as water continued to wash over me, leaving a trance of goosebumps as it flows through to the floor.

I'm damn...

Damn for life...

Scenes from what happened back at the prep room earlier began to flood my mind as I closed my eyes. My shaky hands found its way to my mouth as they muffled the cry that escaped my lips.

Not that anyone was home to hear me cry.

I was pretty much alone and on my own and with this horrible feeling eating away at my chest.

Why did I ever let him kiss me again.

Why?

It's barely two hours and am starved. I can't even get him out of my fucking damn mind.

Oh am really damn for life ain't I?

So damn...

Hell you can have me now cos am all yours for the torturing.

In as much as I will want to wish him out of my head and yank him out of my heart. I still can't afford to loose the thought of him. I still want him to kiss me again. over and over again until the wall around grow a pair of mouth and gossip about it.

Oh if only walls could talk right?

I know I shouldn't. I'm not supposed to. At least not anymore. Things are pretty much messed up now and there is no going back.

I needed to talk to obi as soon as I get hold of my phone. I need to give him the heads up before showing up in school tomorrow or I might just regret lying about us actually being in a relationship now.

Hell

I towel myself dried as I head back to my room in search of what to wear. I threw on a purple T-shirt paired with a white bum short as I slumped on the bed. Grabbing a pillow, I held it close to my chest for comfort.

I needed that.

I was going to call obi right way. This turn of event can't wait any longer.

I dialed his number as I waited impatiently for him to pick up and just close to the last ring. His voice finally came through as he replied into the receiver almost out of breath.

"What's going on with him?"

"Sorry...sorry. I was in the shower. What's up?"

Okay that explains it

It's obvious am not the only one with a bathing routine.

"I'm good. Just wanted to uhmm tell you something and am not sure how you might react to it you know?"

No he doesn't.

"What is it Katherine? You know you can tell me anything right?" He encouraged

"Yeah right but this is a little complicated in a way" hesitation finally kicking in

I heard him sigh from the other end in frustration. I can very much picture him wiping his palm across his face in a nervous gesture.

"What is it Katherine? Tell me already. You are beginning to freak me out" he groan.

"Promise you won't get mad"

"You know me enough to also know that I won't get mad at you even if I wanted to so spill"

"Okay.. Back at the prep room earlier. I might have confirmed to Lavi that you and I are kinda an item?"

"You mean like a couple?"

"Yeah like we are dating you know?" I confirmed

I waited for his reaction but none was coming forth and I began to wonder if the line had gone dead already but the sound of his voice cleared my doubt as he replied quickly and out of breath.

"You are kidding right? I mean, you didn't actually tell him we are together or did you?"

"I'm really sorry .I didn't mean to pry on our friendship but I didn't know what else to do in order to keep him away" I explained.

It took him quite a while to replied and after he did,his voice has resigned to a spark of humor.

"So you are saying he bought your lies?" He questioned.

"Yup... Seems like it but not entirely convinced you know? That's why we need to put up an act to clear his doubt"

"Put up an act you say? I mean, I like you and all but am not going to allow you use me to get back at your ex. Sorry"

I hate to admit it but obi was absolutely right. I'd be using him but what other alternative do I have. Lavi is not one to be fooled so easily. Words can't convince that guy. Not in a million years.

"C'mon obi..am asking you as a friend to please do this for me. It will be just a day or two until vacation"

"I don't know Katherine but this looks like a really bad idea but what are friends for if they can't help each other right?"

"Say yes already c'mon please"

I heard him sigh heavily before giving in to my plea.

"Alright fine. I will be your fake boyfriend but..." He paused

"But what?" Holding my breath

"It's going to be only for a while okay?"

That's it? Thought he was going to give endless conditions if he agrees to play along.

Gosh.. This guy might be the death of me.

"Just a few days I assure you"

"Okay...deal"

"Thank you. I owe you one" I beamed into the receiver. If only he could see me

"I bet you do..anyways, see you in school tomorrow fake girlfriend" he joked.

"You too fake boyfriend"

The line went dead after a while and I sigh in. Shutting my eyes to keep the tears from spilling.

I really hope I won't end up regretting this.
