I was still in his arms.
He now let go of me slowly then used his hand to lift my face making our eyes to meet. He was coming closer to me which made my heart to skip a bit.

But i didn't want what happened before to happen again. It was clear that he didn't love me.
And anything he does now would just be like a game to him.
And he wasn't making any move anyway. we were just staring at each other.

I grew nervous.

"You know it wasn't all me...
I had a little help" I said out of nowhere just to the brake that awkward moment.

"Oh yeah?.....What do you mean?
Then Who else.
Cos if you ask me...I'd say it was all you hot chicks" He asked calmly smiling at me. Which made me blush by his comment.

"I got a little help from a strange fellow...... He actually thought you were someone else...and he said to say hi to you" I said smiling at him.

"So you better think twice before getting drunk again and drive like that" I said cautioning him as if I were his mother.

"What is wrong with you. What made you think I was drunk. Just because my mouth smelled like alcohol?

I only took a glass because my friends made me and i washed it down with water afterwards.
But for what is odd....I think my breaks were sabotaged.
Once I stepped on the gear, I lost control.
Just let me catch the goddamn bastard that did that!" He furiously cursed and actually sounded
convincing too about getting drunk.

But I saw him with a bottle filled with drinks. Or maybe I was mistaken. Maybe it was just the water he was carrying.

But then why did he look so down.
I kept wondering and asking myself these questions. Because I knew if I'd asked him, he would say I was stalking him.

"Why would someone wanna hurt you?
Well sure you can be unbearable and harsh, but still....." He interrupted me.

"What was that?" He said furiously. Looking straight into my eyes so I wouldn't be able to repeat that.

"What was what?" I pretended I didn't know what he was talking about.

He sighed and leaned against the wall, crossed his legs and with his arms folded.

"So what's up with the mystery guy that helped save my life?" He asked neutrally but was rolling his eyes.

"Oh yeah....he said I should say hi to you for him.
I think he said his name was JJ.  And he seemed to really know you. Except for the fact he got your name wrong" I explained naively.

But I could see how nervous he was at the mention of that name. His looks changed and he looked very worried now.

"What's wrong?........are you OK?" I asked bending my face a little to look at his.

"JJ? ..........Humph....what a stupid name.
What does it stand for ? Junior jack or what?" He said trying to sound cool. But he's expression showed that he wasn't himself.
Was he even listening to what he was saying?

"How about Jason Junior?" I teased him, but it only pissed him off.
And I was really satisfied by that.

He shrugged and then took my hand and started dragging me with him. Unfortunately for him we ran into a nurse on the hallway.

"Is everything alright here?" She asked with suspicion.

"Yes ma'am.... Everything is great" he said putting his hand around my waist with a wide smile on his face. But I was giving him away by being so sluggish and not smiling.
So he pinched me at my back making me to act against my will.

"Ouch!!!" I shouted then noticed the nurses face.
"I mean, everything is fine nurse! Thank you"  i said with a nice and an inviting smile. she quickly left and went back to her work.

" where are we going? ...where are you taking me?" I said whining.

He stopped and didn't look back. It seemed like he was in deep thought.

"Are you you're alright? ....you look pale and worried... Is something wrong?" I asked showing more concern..

"F*ck!" I could hear him murmur under his breath.
He placed one hand against the wall and the other on his  forehead as if he were in pain.

When he turned around, his eyes were red and a bit teary, he looked really scared.
But I could see how hard he was trying not to let his emotions show.

"Emmi?" He called out calmly as if he was about to say goodbye.

"Yes?"

"What do you wanna do today? ......you know? For fun.
To celebrate our friendship." He asked coming towards me.

I couldn't believe my ears. he asked me that,..... I was so happy.
But I was still very weak and tired. all i wanted to do now was to lie down and sleep.

"Am really tired, i don't want to do anything like that today pls.
But I am really starving!
Can we just go out for breakfast?" I said robbing my stomach as if I was in pain.

"Just great....    I asked you what you wanted to do for fun and all you can think of is food!" He humped.

" but I haven't eaten for days, I was out remember? ...and some of us actually like to stay alive" i said sarcastically.

"Who said you haven't eaten anything for days. You were out only when there was no food around.
All you did was to wake up and eat, then go back to sleep. I tried everything to keep you awake whenever you woke up but it was all a waste of time on you!" He said with an angry look and then humphed.

" and there is no way you're going out with be in public dressed like that!"
He pointed out my ugly dressing which looked good in my eyes.

I looked at myself checking out my dressing and wondering if it was really that bad.
I felt kinda embarrassed and shy realising it wasn't really my best choice yet.
But I still had to defend my honor.

" what's wrong with what am wearing. Did you know how much this dress cost me?" I asked angrily.

"Oh...am sorry.. I didn't realize that. But you should really get your money back for that.
You look like a cleaner in that!" He said touching some parts of my dress, feeling the material.

I frowned my face and folded my arms.

"We don't have time for that.
Come on, we can start off by getting you new dresses. Let's go shopping" he said with a conceited smile on his face.

Yeeeepeeeee!!!!!.
Well that was in my head though. I was excited to go shopping with him.

It could be like our first date. Well except that it wasn't. Just friendly hang out.
Boomer.!!!!.
