To where...

Angel

I could feel my heart failing me as I ran through the halls of Pavard university, a place that was once my home, a place of solace, a place I could always find something to drive away my fears. This same place, the same people I had trusted now look at me in disgust like I was some leper, they had kicked me out of their lives like I was never a part of it.

Is this how fast love turns to hate.

I could see their eyes, cursing, accusing me, even the freshers. I could still  hear their giggling as steadied my run across the hall way down through the stairs, their eyes followed me and I had an out burst. They were laughing at me as if they were any better.

Maybe they were, I wasn't a better person, the one time I let my guard down around a stranger, that one time had caused me so much. My school, my reputation, and the sweet home I had finally developed out of the hell hole I was coming from. I lost it all.

Life wasn't as easy as I had promised my sister, I couldn't bare but to think of her at this moment. I wondered how her own life was turning out in a separate place. I hope it wasn't as terrible as how my life was turning out. I was ever ready to live the bad life so she could have the best. Life wasn't pretty and I hope she would never have to face what I was facing.

I fought the tears that blurred my vision, as I made my way through the crowd of students that were at the entrance of my department.

"Presido we are behind you"

"Presido you don't deserve this"

"they can't kick you out like that, not after what you have done for this school"

I could hear all their voices but none of their words could calm the ocean of rage that had   filled my heart and crushing my breadth. All I did didn't matter to the school authorities. They had their reputation to uphold, and I was a mare, a stain that needed to wiped off from it.

I felt a tiny hand folding my wrist, I turned and looked at the girl I had helped through her depression when she was new to the school.

The girl had tears in her eyes it was as if I could read her eyes through them. I saw Ann through her face, crying, reassuring me that she will always be there for me. More tears forced their way up to my eyes, I blinked severally fighting them.

"I believe in you"

I heard her say, it was random, the statement didn't connect to the situation but I understand every word from her mind. I always said those words to her when she made her way to my room and broke down. I made her believe in her self and now she believes in me. I don't even believe in me anymore.

Who am I? Who am I outside the four walls of this school?.

A wounded angel. With my innocence sucked out of me, my pride and dignity taken away, I was nothing. Who was I to call Sam empty. I was the empty one here. The one without a home, the one who will finally end up alone.

The tears in my eyes freed themselves from their cages and came in connect with my cheeks. I couldn't hold it anymore, I had to leave. But to where.

I looked around at the sympathetic, accusing and hopeful faces that surrounded and the my eyes I saw Chris, he was looking for me amidst the crowd, I know he wouldn't find me. With my height to my advantage, I found my way out of the crowd and ran out heading to my little home.

******
I had cried enough for my little body to bare, I was shaking from the tears still left inside me. I opened my door only to see Chris seated with his heads on his laps, he was breathing heavily as if he had ran a marathon. He had, if he didn't how did he get to my house before me.

He felt my presence and turned to face me, I could see his blood shot eyes as if he had been crying and the sleep bags round his eyes. He hasn't been sleeping either. I shook my head, diverting my eyes from him immediately and locking the door behind me.

My bags were all packed, I would have left without seeing him but I never got my heart to do that to him, and to me either.

I had gotten a call from the school board a day before now, I was expected to be at the panel in thirty minutes. I summoned up courage cause I was lacking it at that time and was soon on my way, shaking at I took step upon step to get to the panel.

I had found out about my pregnancy and I had cried out every lively cell of my body. If I could drink that would have been a perfect period to be drunken.

I saw the disappointments on their old wrinkled faces as they all stared at me, I stood facing their high panel table felling very much intimidated by their stares and side talks. They finally spoke out after almost  thirty minutes. They noticed I was getting weaker by the standing and pointed at the little stool that laid at the entrance of the office. I took it gracefully and sat down.

"We have made our decision Miss. Angel. Your study in this school is hereby terminated. You are required to return your badges and leave the school premises."

They said many other words that filtered in and out of my ears. Thank God they had given me a sit I could have fainted at their judgements. I looked at each and every one of them, searching for a ounce of pity or care, anything but no, they all wore their best frowns and I was asked to leave their presences.

"Your a disgrace to Pavard" their words followed me out.

How they got to know about my pregnancy was not even a mystery, I cared less. I had lost everything. They should have at least let me continue with my school. I felt the tears coming but none fell, they just stalled in my eye sockets.

"It was Sam" the receptionist, said in a whisper as I passed a weak smile to her which she didn't return.

"She came here and told them. She said other hurtful things about you Miss. Angel." I wondered what she thought I would do with such information at that point. I mouthed a weak goodbye and left the office. I wanted to see Chris. It was getting too much.

I found my way to my class I stood at the entrance for some minutes watching Sam shamelessly flirt with Chris, seeing Sam's hand around his neck gave me the greatest nerve wreck of the week. I was filled with so much rage and anger. I had to put her in place before I would leave Pavard and I did. And now I regretted every bit of it.

"your leaving"

I heard Chris voice from behind me, he was standing now, his height quiet intimidating . He voice was calm with the pain behind it could break your heart. I ignored him and went for my bed, instead of finding comfort by lying on it. I ruffled up the bed sheet and started holding it.

"Angel"

The sound of my name from his name was the sweetest thing I had ever heard. But this was not the time. It was the sweetest of his presence, the way he made me feel that had ruined my life, at least part of my life. I rolled my eyes and continued my folding.

"Am sorry, Angel."

"You didn't do anything, Chris."

"It's all my fault" he ran his hands through his hair.

"it's not" I shot him a glare. I was the one at fault here. I was the bad one, am always the bad one. Only my father saw the good in me.I was his lovely child. I spat at the thought.

"but I want to do something Angel" I raised my brows at him and quit folding the damn sheets, it wasn't helping me either, I threw it back at the bed.

"I want to help, please, let me" he made a move to hold my wrist and I stopped him immediately.

"What do you want to do? Tell the school board that am not pregnant? Or maybe go beat up Sam from telling them the truth" I laughed out loud, it was humorless by the way. I turned to my wardrobe and tied my braided hair in a bun.

"Where are you going to" he was sounding frustrated now, I knew he was as confused as me but I didn't care at the moment. I wanted to leave this place, I wanted to leave everyone. It seems like all people did was to cause me pain. I removed my tear stained top and took another one from bag and put it on. I wiped the tears that had escaped from my eyes.

I felt him pacing the room. The silence was heavy filled with unspoken words and confused minds.

"please, I can take you to my family. You don't have to do this alone. I already told them. Please Angel"

"well I have a family too" I eyed him and removed my sandals, they were getting uncomfortable. I laughed at the word that just came out from my mouth.

Yea, I have  a family
Who I am kidding

"I don't want you far from me Angel. Look am as confused as u"

Before he could finished I was already at the door, dragging my heavy suitcases along with me. I glared at him but he maintained eye contact. He wasn't scared of me I figured and heaved a sigh.

"Look, Chris" I started, his eyes lit up and I was tongue tied. How was I going to leave the only person that.... I heaved again.

"Let me go, Chris. I promise I will be fine." I gave him a smile, he didn't return it.

"Don't do this one your own Angel"

"I won't, I have a family. I will never be alone" with that I felt the salty taste of my tears on my tongue. I turned and left and never looked back.

I was alone.
