Invisible Strings

Chapter 11 Forgiveness

Jayjay's POV

Today was in my favour. I'm so happy that it's Saturday today. I survived the whole damn week with the people whom I considered home once but now I hate them with all I have.

Ci-n is constantly trying to apologise. I'm not gonna lie everyone in Section E is trying to make me forgive them by offering me gifts, food and obviously their smiles except for Keifer. It's not like I care about him but I just want him to explain too but I guess he doesn't even care about me. We haven't talked since the day we made out in the classroom. It's been a week since I came back to HVIS, but David is still not attending the school. I'm not concerned or something but it's like I miss our old trio- me, Ci-n and David.

I was lying on my bed, scrolling my phone when Aries knocked at my door.

"Jay, your classmates are waiting for you downstairs, they said it's an emergency." Aries said and knocked again. I opened the door.

" Tell them I don't wanna meet them." I said and was about to close the door.

"I already told them but they said they aren't backing out until they see you." He said and sighed.

I didn't say anything but followed Aries downstairs. They said it's an emergency? I don't care about them but-

I went outside and noticed it was Drew, Yuri and Felix. They all were breathing heavily and there was something in their eyes- maybe pain?

I didn't say anything and just stared at them. They all looked at each other.

" Jay.....Jay....it's.... it's Ci-n." Yuri said and I noticed tears in his eyes.

"What happened to Ci-n?" I asked them, holding back my anger.

" Jay, it's like......it's like..."Drew stammered.

"What happened, answer me damn it." I screamed and they all started looking at each other.

"Jay, Ci-n got into an accident, he....he.." Drew stammered. " We decided to meet at Eman's restaurant to discuss about the plans to pursue you to make you forgive us. He was coming there too, but some car hit him and.." He stopped in the middle of his sentence and I started crying.

"Drew, is he fine." I asked and they all bowed their heads down.

"Jay....Jay..he isn't with us anymore." Drew said and they all started crying.

"No...no...it...it can't be true... you're lying...Take your words back..No."  I said and started crying. My kneels felt week and I feel down to the floor.

" Jay his family is preparing for his funeral. His body is in the hospital. Come, let's meet him for the last time." Yuri said and made me stand up.

I hugged Aries and started crying. He hugged me back and rubbed my back.

"Let me take you there." Aries said and hold my hand to take me outside. We got in the car and Aries started driving.

While looking out of the window, I kept thinking about him. I don't know how I managed to be so rude to him. He did everything to make me forgive him but I put my ego first. Yesterday, he cried in front of me but I didn't forgive him. Ci is...was just a kid. So, many times I thought about forgiving him because he wasn't directly involved in that bet thing but I didn't. I couldn't control my tears and started crying again.

We reached the hospital and got out of the car. Aries hold my hand and we entered the hospital.

Yuri took us to Ci-n's room and I gathered all my strength to enter that room. Yuri opened the door and I noticed the whole Section E was there except for Keifer. Rakki was there too. She was hugging Sophia. I noticed that Ci's body rested on the bed and was covered with a white sheet completely.

I entered the room and sat on the stool next to the bed.

"I'm sorry Ci, I'm sorry, I didn't forgive you. I lied. I still care about you. Ci, I know I should've forgive you. You weren't even involved in that bet. I'm sorry." I whispered to him and broke down completely. David came and hugged me and I hugged him back.

"David he was just a kid. Tell him to come back. Tell him I miss him. Tell him I want him back." I said and sobbed.

"So, you forgive me Jay?" Someone said. I pulled away from David and looked in the direction of the voice. It was Ci-n. My eyes widened in shock. He was looking at me and smiling widely.

"You...you...you are alive?" I asked shockingly.

"Yeah, alive and kickin'. " He said and winked. I threw a pillow at him and they all started laughing.

"So Jay, you finally forgive and you accepted that you care about me." He said and came to hug me. He hugged me tightly. I don't know what happened inside my chest but I hugged him back.

"Don't you lie to me like that again, you Lil troublemaker." I said and tears streamed down my face again.

"I promise. I promise, I won't do that again." Ci said.

"So Jay, are you planning to forgive us too?" Calix asked me.

"You fuckin' lil actors. How'd you manage to involve Rakki and Sophia in this." I asked them annoyingly.

"Sorry Jay but I knew you were hurting yourself too by not talking to them plus they were really guilty about what they did." Rakki said and smiled.

"I'm sorry too Jay but I just wanted them to be with their 'Mutya' again. They were really sad. They were really guilty of their actions." Sophia said.

"You two shouldn't be sorry. Someone else need to say sorry I think." I said with fake anger.

"We are really sorry Jay but I promise that bet was placed when we weren't that close. We weren't even friends back then." Denzel said.

"Yeah Jay and the things between us weren't lie. We really started to care for you." Eman said.

"You made us care for you Jay." Kit said.

" You were always part of our Section Jay." Mayo said.

"You were our family Jay." Blaster said. Tears started streaming down my face.

"You fuckers....I can't hate you idiots..I....I never wanted to forgive you..." I stopped and all of them started looking at each other with sadness. " But I just can't hate you forever. I forgive you all. I forgive you." I said and they all started shouting with joy.

Calix and Felix came and hugged me. Edrix and Rory joined too. We all were crying with happiness. They pulled away from me. Sophia and Rakki high-fived.

Josh came to me and took my hands and his.

"Jay I know we won't be able to go back to the way we were that easily but we all will do anything for your happiness." He said and hugged me and I hugged him back. I looked at the room's door, Aries was leaning against the door and smiling softly.

I forgive them finally but he wasn't there. Everyone was there but I still missed him. I don't know why but I missed him.
