Chapter forty-five

Katherine's POV

**

I was still pretty much coiled up in my bed after last night incident waiting for death or my dad to come strangle me this morning cos it seem am still alive but the only thing that came for me was Aunt Nene with a tray of food. It was just 7:30am in the morning and my room was still devoid of sunlight. My bed sheet is still dampen from my tears as I lay helplessly on it.

She placed the tray on the side tool and sat at the foot of my bed with glimmer of smile across her tired face. I bet she was wry from watching me through last night drama.

"How do you feel my dear?" Squeezing my hand that had fallen from under the duvet.

Like dying?

That answer only stayed in my head where it belong cos it never made it out of my mouth as I said nothing in reply. She walked over to the curtain and pulled it apart allowing a sudden ray of sunlight into the room that was soaking with my tears a while ago. I pulled the duvet over my head in response to the attack of light beam on my eyes as I sank deeper into the comfort of my bed.

"Seat up and eat my dear..you barely ate last night" pulling off the cover from my head.

"I'm not hungry" reaching over to pull the cover back over my head.

Her hand found mine before I could and held it between the warmth of her palm.

"Listen here my dear. If you're going to face your father again then you need all the strength you can get so seat up and eat something" she picked up the glass of milk from the tray and held it out to me.

"Go on and drink it" she offered again.

"Where is my dad?" Struggling to seat up on the bed before grabbing the glass of milk from her out stretched hand.

"I heard him speaking on the phone earlier. I think he left for work already"

Work?

That doesn't sound right!

Has he really gone to work without dragging me along? Or he has gone somewhere else. He did mention he'd call back the nurse from hell! Could it be that he has gone to meet her?

More hell....

Going over to meet her would also mean going to school and that could also mean meeting Lavi as well.

Shit!...that could be bad!

I dropped the empty glass on the tray and rushed towards the bathroom.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm late for school aunt..my practical is about to start" I answered hurriedly as I began to throw off my clothes.

"But..."

I slammed the door before she could even complete her sentence.

Please Lord, let it be that he has really gone to work!

Damn.

Lavi's POV

Woke up this morning with a much clearer thought. I stayed up all night debating on what to do and I have come up with an idea but I also need to speak with Katherine about it. If the talk with her father didn't go well and he is threatening to kill her. I will have no choice but to carry out my plan.

Exam practical was about to start and Katherine has still not arrived. I tried calling her this morning again but to no avail. Her line was still turned off.

Damn!

Thirty minutes into the exams; she rushed into the hall and sat in her desk. She looked terrible and that's my cue that her talk with her dad didn't go well. After much pleading with the examiner, her papers were finally handed to her and she wasted no time. Not once did she spare a glance at my direction. She was totally focused on her work and another hour later she passed me a little paper on her way to submit her answer sheet.

Shit!

I folded it into my pocket without even looking at it. I hurriedly went over my specimen and drew all I could and head out as well. She left before I could meet up with her.

Damn!

I ran all the way to the packing loot hoping to see her there but watched as her car drove out through the gate.

I was too late!

She asked me to meet her back there in fifteen minutes but I was too late. She left without me knowing why she wanted to speak with me and besides I also wanted to make sure she was okay but I was fucking too damn late.

As I continued to contemplate my next line of action. I ran into James by the lobby. He too had just finished submitting his papers.

"What's up bro...why did you rush out like that" he pried.

"It's nothing" I brushed passed him and went for my bag hanging by the window.

"You say nothing but you have been acting strangely lately. Don't think I haven't noticed" he pushed further walking behind me.

This isn't one of those times I can share just about anything with him. I need to figure this out on my own.

"I said it's nothing man so quit bugging me will you?" I walked out on him before he could pry even further.

I bumped right into obi just a few distance up ahead and we both stopped in our tracks as we stared back at each other neither of us willing to move out of the way for the other to continue his journey. His nose still looks pretty swollen but his bruises has healed pretty damn well.

Good for him.

"Wait!" I stopped him before he could by pass me with a scoff.

"What!"

"I'm sorry about your nose obi" I apologized.

His face immediately twist up in disgust at me

Oh here we go!

"You're sorry?" He took a step towards me.

"I know you don't believe me but yes am sorry" meaning every single damn word and I don't even know why!

"Are you sorry for ruining her life or you are sorry for proving for the last time that you're an asshole because if by any chance you're sorry for my nose then you can be sure that you will pay for it"

What now?

Is this toad face by any chance in hell threatening me? Because that would mean me breaking his already croaked nose yet again.

I took a threatening step towards him as he stood an inch from me with that cynic look on his face.

"Are you threatening me toad face?" My voice just as cold as my fist that is about to make contact with his stupid face and making sure to wipe that equally ugly smirk off his stupid little face.

"I'm only giving you a heads up macho man because you're going to be needing it" his lips coiling into a croaked smile.

Whatever was keeping me from breaking his face at this point sure looks like Katherine's dad and he was heading towards the principal office with the staff nurse walking beside him.

What the heck?

"You know what? How about you take that same warning and shove it up your ass because it looks like it's right up your croaked nose"

I shoulder bumped him and stalk off. It seem like far worst things are about to happen...
