Through her eyes

CHAPTER FIVE

It's been two weeks since jasmine left, she hasn't come back. I have started feeling very guilty because she left because of me, I should have just left her with the stupid cat. I would have called her but I don't have her number, neither does clara

I haven't given joe an answer yet, I'm just really scared. If I say yes and we start dating, what if he realised that he doesn't like me and breaks up with me, that will be the end of our relationship

After taking a bath, i got ready for my German class, German is a tough language to learn so I have to really focus

Our German lecturer is a really young man and he really knows how to teach, so the class went well

"Hey, wait up" joe shouted from behind me as I made my way out of class "hey" I greeted

"Hey, did I do something wrong?" He asked "no"

"You have been acting differently, almost like you are avoiding me" he looked down "I'm sorry, I'm just having problems with my roommate that's all. We fought and she left the dorm, I have been feeling really guilty"

"I'm sure it's not your fault. Have you come up with a decision?" He asked "joe I don't know if having a boyfriend right now is best for me, I like you. You are my only friend and I'll prefer if it stays that way" I smiled

"Oh ok" he looked down "I'm sorry" I apologised "no don't ever apologise for telling someone no, I have somewhere to go, so if you'll excuse me" he walked off

I feel so bad for telling him no but sometimes you feel bad when doing the right thing.

I got to my room, took a bath and read the novel I bought. Tomorrow is Saturday so I can be lazy till Sunday, I thought with a sigh

I took a bath and got submerged in the fantasy world, not paying any mind to clara when she walked in

Saturday came by quickly, i didn't even know when I fell asleep. I took a bath and ordered some food, I'm not leaving this room today. Thankfully I was alone, since Clara went out

My food arrived quickly and I ate while reading my novel, what a peaceful day it is

My reading was interrupted by heavy banging on my door "ughhhh who is it?" I shouted, I got no response and the knocking continued

I opened the door ready to give the person an earful, but swallowed my words when I was met with the police uniform "what's going on?" I asked them

"Are you the only one in?" She asked "yeah" I answered "we need you to follow us to the station for questioning?" The second one said

"Questioning?" I asked "yes" one sternly said, I could tell he was getting impatient, I quickly put on some modest clothes and got in the police car

Maybe the dorm room opposite ours was robbed and they want to ask me if i heard or saw anything, but they could have just questioned my in my room, maybe a minister's daughter lives there, I thought

We stopped at the police station where a short dark woman walked up to us "hello, my name is mrs Chester and I would like to ask you some questions concerning jasmine ivory" she walked me inside an office

"Jasmine?" I asked "yes your roommate jasmine" she confirmed, what did she do this time and why am I being brought up in all of this

This was not how I planned my Saturday

"What happened to her?" I asked "when last did you see miss ivory?" She pulled out a book and pen " I don't know, she hasn't been in the room for a while, I overheard her talking to her boyfriend though, she said she was going to his place" I said

My heart is racing so fast, I feel so scared

"And the other girl, clara? Do you know if she has been in contact with jasmine?" She looked at me

"No I honestly don't" I said "so the both of you noticed that your roommate was missing for a while and did nothing to report to the authorities?" She said

"She wasn't missing, I told you that I overheard her talking to her boyfriend" I defended "did she tell you that she won't be back that night?" She stared into my soul

"No, she didn't" I sank into my chair

This is going to be a very long day
