Chapter 7 7

I came home afterward, Keith took me to my room and mom came running and asking for an explanation.

Like what do I tell her, that my rib got broken because Keith tossed me over the stairs, that's crazy right?

She won't believe me.

Keith on the other hand, gave mom a shocking reasonable explanation, mom believe his story and she left, going down to get hot water and a towel.

We waited for her to leave, and the minute she slammed the door hard, I turned and said.

"Why lie to her,"

Keith takes a step back and responded, "do you think she would believe the fact?"

And he is right, Keith might have accidentally tossed me over the stairs, mom will not believe it, just like I presumed before.

After a few seconds, mom came back, she holds a towel in her hand and asked Keith to leave

He obeyed and gave notice he was going to come back in the morning to take me back to my hostel in school.

We both shared a quick look as he takes a leave out.

I was gently placed on my soft pillow.

Mom cleaned me up with warm water and made sure to massage the affected area.

Afterward, I slept like a baby, seizing any sound around me.

The next morning, I got up from bed and the pain seems to have lessened.

I had spare clothes at home and I got changed after taking my bath.

I came downstairs and mom had already prepared breakfast, she never let me or dad go out on an empty stomach.

Unfortunately, dad died, and till now, mom has never been able to forget him.

That's love.

"Good morning mom,"

I took a seat on a chair in the dining room.

"Good morning baby, how're you?"

She interrogated.

I smiled and slammed my hands on the breakable plate, mom served me a dish of chicken soup and asked me not to go back to school.

Although I do want to, I had no choice, but to decline, the school hasn't been easy I get it, however, I cannot think of taking a leave, Keith may do something unbelievable.

His my concern, since his sister died.

Keith comes home after a while, I was just on my way leaving and we bumped into each other outside.

"Keith, you're here?"

I smiled.

"Sure, I said I would remember?".

He responded.

I nodded and mom comes out from behind.

Keith greeted her and she takes a sad response.

I know mom was going to be sad,

Since I refused to stay back, I kissed her on the cheeks and rode past Keith into his car.

We both waved each other and Keith and I drove back to college.

A few hours drive, we returned to college, I came to my room and grabbed a book from my reading table.

Keith on the other hand stood outside waiting for me.

He refused to get in and I am sure, Kailey's memories are still fresh.

I came outside and we both rode to class.

Keith and I didn't have the same course study, and the minute I got into my lecture hall, he rides past heading to his class.

I took a seat at the east wing of the class and quietly waited for the professor to come in.

Gena comes with her minions and decided to annoy me.

"Hello, Samantha,"

She walks close, "do you perhaps have some time to spare for me, because we need to talk".

She added.

What exactly do we have to speak about.
