Jemimah stared outside the window, at the clear sky. Everything was clear except how she was feeling and how she was faring, she had no idea what was going on with her or Jeremiah.

It was one week of exams and everything was in full swing, students were stuck in night classes and classes had stopped except for a few. Even her roommates had started pulling all-nighters for their exams and Jemimah was the only one finding it hard to even concentrate. The books would be open right in front of her and yet, she wouldn't be able to understand anything.

“Are you alright Jemimah?” Ayisat asked and Jemimah nodded.

“You don't look fine girl” Ayisat pressed on, “Maybe you should get some sleep” she suggested and Jemimah offered her a small smile standing up from her bed and grabbing her bag.

“Ayisat, I'm fine” she reassured her but the look on Ayisat’s face told her that she didn't believe her but there was nothing she could do about her. As she approached the door, her phone buzzed and she turned to glance at it.

Micah: I'm outside.

Jemimah turned and gave Ayisat another forced smile, “When I'm back I'll have a long sleep” she said, closing the door behind her before Ayisat could reply.

Walking down the walkway and down the stairs, Jemimah couldn't  help but notice the extra stares that were sent her way. Ever since the news that Jeremiah and Bimbo had broken up went viral and the news that Bimbo had cheated had gone viral, everyone had been waiting for more and more drama but unfortunately for them, the drama has ended or so she thought.

Even from afar, the black Prada Jeep was very conspicuous outside the hostel and Jemimah sped up her movements as she opened the car and got inside.

“Hey Choco” Micah said softly and Jemimah chewed the insides of her mouth turning to face him squarely.

“Aside from Bimbo cheating, do you know why they've been having problems?” She asked and Micah looked taken back for a moment but his face soon reverted back to its usual blank expression.

“I don't know what you are talking about. What is it?” He asked and Jemimah swallowed.

“So you don't know that Jeremiah was trying to commit suicide?” She asked, her brows pulled together in a frown.

“Suicide?” Micah finally couldn't hold the frown back, “Jeremiah? Suicide? Is this a joke?” He asked and Jemimah leaned back into her seat.

“I meant that figuratively, Jeremiah wanted to do something for the Titans and it meant suicide, Bimbo told me. What's going on?” Jemimah asked, closing her eyes.

Jeremiah's relationship with the Titans was too complicated, too complicated that she had to be dragged into that complication.

“I know that he owes you his life and all of that but should be making sacrifices for your cult, a cult he isn't a member of?” She questioned turning to  Micah once more.

“I'm merely appalled that you didn't think that I wouldn't allow Jeremiah to take a decision that would be that big. Whatever Bimbo said doesn't count, Jeremiah wasn't going to do anything” Micah assured her and Jemimah nodded.

“Are you sure?” She asked and Micah raised his brows.

“Choco, trust me” he responded and Jemimah nodded, closing her eyes.

“I'm so tired,” she said softly. And in all honesty, Jemimah was tired of everything.

“I want a hug” she said softly meeting Micah’s eyes and the next moment, Micah's hands were wide open. Jemimah didn't think twice before crossing over and burrowing herself into his arms.

Micah's arms wrapped around her like a blanket and he slowly patted her head.

“I'm sorry about everything that has been happening and you do need to rest and relax okay” Micah said, speaking softly into her hair.

“Is he okay?” Jemimah asked. Black had I deed found Jeremiah but no matter how many times she called or texted him he didn't respond, Micah and Black were the only reasons she was sure he was alive.

“Jeremiah wants to be left alone, Black is with him. You don't have to worry” Micah replied and Jemimah nodded.

Each time she tries to imagine how Jeremiah would be feeling, she knew he was heart broken, he was more than heart broken, he loves Bimbo, even more than himself. The break up was one thing, finding out she was cheating was another thing, she knew he would question himself and blame himself and all of that. She just hoped that he would be okay and she hoped that Black would stay with him for a while more.

“Exams are coming Choco, so I need you to focus on your exams and do them well okay” Micah said and Jemimah nodded her head.

She knew that at a point that she would have to read, she would need to read. She couldn't afford to start slacking especially since they were going to their second year. She just found it hard.

“I need you to promise me that you'll stop worrying” Micah said as Jemimah moved away from him and nodded her head again.

“I promise” she replied softly and Micah sighed, his hand at the back of her head.

“I know that you can't help but worry but anytime you do, just trust me and know that he's fine okay?” He said and Jemimah nodded.

“Thank you” she replied softly.

“Do you want me to get you some food?” He asked and as if on cue, Jemimah’s stomach rumbled and Micah raised a brow while Jemimah turned away in embarrassment.

“It's a good thing your stomach knows how to speak for itself” he replied, amusement in his tone and Micah started the car and started driving.

Jemimah's phone started buzzing and she glanced at the caller id before slowly picking up the call.

“Heyy” she said softly.

“Jemimah, how are you?” Paul's voice was faint in the car.

“Quite alright” Jemimah replied.

“Well you don't sound fine” he retorted and Jemimah lowered her head. It seems as though everyone could see that she wasn't fine.

“Well I'll be, after I eat” her attempt at cracking a joke made the corners of Micah's lips be upturned quietly.

“Well that's good. Please take care of yourself okay” Paul said, his tone relaxed and Jemimah knew her joke had worked.

“Thank you Paul” she replied, ending the call and allowing her phone to slip back to her laps.

“What do you want? Fried rice? Spaghetti?” Micah asked and Jemimah pouted.

“Everything” she replied and Micah raised his brows, amused.

"What? I can't?' Jemimah whined and Micah laughed, a sound that absolutely delighted Jemimah.

"Not at all. Anything for you Choco"
