Her.

Chapter 9

Calix Jay’s POV

I woke up earlier than before. It’s like, I just took a nap. I was flying around the room while looking at her. I stopped and stared at her from above, almost touching the ceiling.

“Do I like her?” I whispered to myself.

I was surprised on what I said causing me to hit my head on the ceiling

“s**t!” I almost fell on top of Celeste.

After a few hours, Celeste woke up. She dressed up then left. She came back home then went straight to her room after eating dinner, took a shower then slept.

We’re still not talking to each other. I know that her problem isn’t what happened between the both of us.

I was under the bed when I heard a sob. I immediately went out.

She’s covered with her blanket and curled up. I sat at the edge of the

Bed and tapped her shoulder.

“Cece?” She tightened her hold on the blanket and I tried to remove the blanket that was covering her but she kept on pulling back.

I successfully removed the blanket from her. I saw her face full of tears, Her eyes were puffy with a red nose. She suddenly pulled me into a tight hug then cried harder.

I caressed her back, She placed her head on the crook of my neck.

She cried even louder.

She pulled out from the hug and wiped her tears.

“What happened?”

“I don’t know if I should tell you this. It’s just a small thing, but why am I crying?” A tear fell on her eyes. I wiped the tear on her cheeks.

“Tomorrow night is our prom. Remember The guy who dropped me home? He was supposed to be my date but I found out that he just played with me,”

I got mad at what I heard. I want to punch that guy. “You’re crying

Because he played with you?”

“No, I don’t even like him. I;m just crying because the prom is tomorrow night. I will probably see him there and he’ll see me alone,”

So she doesn’t like that guy? What a relief then. “Stop crying now, He’s stupid,”

She suddenly looked at me then laughed. She’s not cryin anymore.

She even asked me to sleep with her.

We were facing each other while lying on the bed. She closed her eyes them smiled.

“Goodnight, Calix,”

“Goodnight, Celeste,” I moved closer to her and hug her very tight.

I’m wrong, I don’t like her because…..I Love Her.

Prom Day

It’s 4pm when I looked at the wall clock from under the bed.

I can’t go out because someone came to prepare Celeste for the prom.

It’s 6 PM when I looked at the wall clock again. The door opened and the person together with Celeste left the room. I only saw the light pink gown that Celeste was wearing.

I got out of bed and looked out the window. I saw her enter a car that would probably drive her to school. She’s beautiful, No! She’s even more beautiful.

You can see through her eyes that she isn’t happy. She’s not even smiling

when she entered the car.

I suddenly felt sad. I want to go with her, I want to be her date on the said prom.

I looked at the room’s door. I opened it but this is the farthest I can go. I remembered that there’s like an invisible rope or a magnet which is the one who’s preventing me from going further from this bed.

I still tried to go further but it didn’t work. I punched the bed multiple times because of the anger that I’m feeling right now.

Tears suddenly started to flow on my cheeks. I wonder how was Celeste,

She will feel alone there.

“Why am I imprisoned here?! What did I even do?1 She needs me now!!” I yelled while punching the bed. I know that there’s no one here in the house.

“Damn it!” I saw a tear fall on Celeste’s bed.

I wish I was there with you…
