Chapter 8: chapter 8

Kylen's POV,Sam and I were waiting outside near our car."If she won't come in next 5 minutes, everything must have been sorted out. We can leave then.""Hmm."Not a minute passed by as we saw her storming out of the glass building."All good?", Sam asked.While I silently observed the tear marks on her red cheeks.Taking few jiffies, she replied, "He said he needs time."Sam and I exchanged looks. We knew something did happen there after we left. She sat inside the car while I banged the car's door. I fkd it up!Sam held my shoulder, "Don't." We drove back home mutely. She remained somewhere lost.As we opened the gate, she rushed into her room.Sam and I stayed back near the porch."Definitely her fiancé didn't buy our words.", he said in dismay."We even told him to throw us into prison.", I stated, "And why doesn't he want to believe her man?!", he added."I know. She's hurt. He must have told something rubbish.", I pointed out."But the concern is where will she live. She's new to the city, Sam.""Let her stay at this guest house of yours until she finds one.""No." ,I was quick, "She can't stay here. You know that.""I can't take her to my apartment either. I barely stay in this city.", he shook his head too."We have to find a place for her.""Yep. We have to! She won't be staying at this house. Not at all.", I repeated looking around."Don't worry, Kyle. Your secret won't be out. She will live at a new place. Okay?""The act that you pulled out in morning was quite natural.", he added."What act?""Fighting with me. As to distract her from asking about your dumb wedding." I rolled my eyes, "I did mean it. You like her!""Not in that way." ,he smiled, "I want her to be happy because she is righteous, Kyle. Thats it."I stood there staring at the blooming flowers."You didn't have your breakfast, buddy. Come on.", Sam dragged me with him.I was tapping my spoon, instead of eating. It made Sam suspicious."You are really disturbed. Aren't you?", he asked."What's bugging your head, Kylen?"Sam won't leave me until I spit it out."I want to know what happened after we left. Shawn has done something.", I said, spinning the spoon."We are no one to tread on their toes.""But Sam it's me. I screwed it up. I shouldn't have kissed her, in first place!""Kylen relax-. You were not in your right mind yesterday. We know why-""Guys."We turned to see her standing at the entrance of kitchen with her trolley. "Thanks for taking care of me. You guys aren't that bad.", her pale face reflected a fainted smile."Where are you going?", Sam asked."For now, I'll go to the city library.  I'll search for the rents and move in. Anyways, my parents are not answering my calls. And I have applied for the jobs. Will start a new life here, in this city."Did she hear our conversation?Sam and I exchanged worried looks.Her dark amber eyes were teary.I stood up, unable to control my inquisitiveness, "What happened between you two?"She glanced me for a second, "Nothing. He wants time. I'll wait."Her face wasn't agreeing with her own words.I walked closer to her, "Something definitely cropped up.""Kylen don't force her.", Sam warned me.But I gotta do what I wanted to!She sniffed before saying, "Shawn asked me what if he had done it. What if he came with two pretty women to defend him that he hadn't kissed them, would I believe him?""What did you reply?", Sam asked."You would believe him.", I answered instead.She nodded lowly.This wasn't the reason for her current situation. There is more was to it!"What happened later?"She seemed to freeze, recalling it.I neared her, "What did he say to you?"Her hands and legs trembled in wobbliness, recalling it.I guess, I went too far by asking it. She was gonna lose her balance. "Eleanor!"I grabbed her promptly with my arms around her, while she managed to stand up-right."I'm fine." ,she whispered, gripping my arms.Her pale face lighting up a little, she said subtly facing me, "You know my name."
