Invisible Strings

Chapter 13 Still him?

Jayjay's POV

They kissed, they fuckin' kissed each other. Sophia and Keifer kissed. Are they together or something? That's why Keifer cares about her that much? He likes her or something? The way she tilted his chin with her finger towards her, something inside me flinched.

I know they are not just friends.

But why the fuck did I run away from there. No..no...no....I don't care about Keifer anymore. I don't love him anymore. Why the fuck am I crying?

No Jay you can't cry anymore. You don't love him anymore.

I wiped my tears and got out of the CR. I was walking towards our building when someone called me from behind.

" Jayjay, why aren't you in your class?" I turned around to face Percy.

"Sir Alvin is absent today so it's a free class." I said forcing a smile.

"Were you crying?" Percy asked me.

"No I was-"

" You were." He said cutting me off.

"Sophia and Keifer kissed. Right in front of the entire class." I told him like a child.

"You're still affected by him. Aren't you?" He asked and sighed. I didn't reply.

"And someone was telling me to move on." Percy said and laughed.

" No it's not like this. I don't like him anymore. It's just that last week he tried to kiss and now-" I didn't complete my sentence and looked at him. He was looking angry.

"That son of bitch, he tried to kiss you and now he kissed Sophia. Seriously, he hasn't changed. Why can't you just find a better guy?" Percy said and shook his head.

"I told you. I don't like him anymore. There's nothing between me and him now." I said pretending like I don't give a fuck.

"You know what, there will always be something between you and him." Percy said and started walking away from me without waiting for a reply.

I just want some peace. I just wanna go somewhere no one is around. I know where to go.

Keifer's POV

Ughhh.....Sophia kissed me. She fuckin' kissed me.. The whole Section E was there when we pulled apart. Where was Jay? Was she here too? She saw it too?

I just hope she wouldn't get to know about this or the minimal hope I have for her to forgive me and accept me again would also fade away.

I walked away from them towards the stairs to the second floor. I walked towards the empty music room. I opened the door and sat beside the piano as always. I really need some 'alone time'.

I closed my eyes for a moment. After a while, the door cracked open. I didn't look for who it was. Someone walked in. I opened my eyes to see it was. It was my Jay.

I stood up from I was and she was shocked to see me. She froze. She was just staring at me. I walked towards her. She tried to run outside but before she could, I grabbed her wrist.

"Keifer, let me go. Stop playing with me. I won't fall for your trap again. Just let go." She said angrily and tried to pull away her hand.

My grip on her wrist tightened. I don't wanna let her go. Not now. Not ever.

"KEIFER JUST LET ME GO. LET GO OF MY HAND." She said again and I could see the pain in her eyes.

"Jay, please just listen to me. Please just this once, listen to me. Please let me explain Jay. Just listen to me once and I'd let you go." I said while holding back my tears.

"NO" She screamed." I don't wanna listen to you. We are nothing and I don't own you anything. So just leave my hand and let me go."

My grip on her wrist loosened. She pulled her hand away. She turned away.

" It was Ella before and now it's Sophia." She muttered under her breath but I heard it and she started walking away.

Ohh my Lord!! She fuckin' saw it. She saw me and Sophia kissing. No...no..no....I can't let her go.

"Jay, wait...Jay..listen to me." I said and she paused. She didn't turn but I know she was ready to listen.

"Jay, Sophia is nothing to me. I didn't kiss her, our lips barely brushed. I swear, there's nothing between us." I told her.

She didn't reply and started walking away again. I didn't stop her. I really wanted to but I didn't. She walked away from that room or from me forever? I don't know yet but I'm ready to do anything for her forgiveness.

Sophia's POV

Jayjay came back to our classroom and honestly, now I regret kissing Keifer. I really snatched the minimal chance he had with Jay.

I looked at Jay and there was something in her eyes. Something like pain?

Keifer came back too. He looked at Jay but she didn't even look at him. He came towards his chair. I pretended to read my notes. He sat down next to me.

"Why'd you do that Sophia?" He asked calmly.

"I thought you wouldn't ask. Are you dumb or you pretend to be? " I said nonchalantly.

"I'm not dumb Sophia. I just don't know what do you want from me." He said and looked me straight in eyes.

"I want you Keifer. Why can't you just see? I love you more than she ever could. Why can't I have everything she has. Why I'm not lucky enough?"
I said and tears started flowing down my face.

"Sophia.." He said politely. "Please don't cry. You don't even know what Jay is going through. Her life is not perfect as she shows. I know she always smiles but her life is opposite of perfect." He explained and looked away.

Our next teacher arrived and I went to my new seat, next to Jay. Our next classes went in silence without any chaos. It was our break time.

"Jay, let's have lunch together from now on, like before please. Please don't go to Aries." Ci-n said to her while pouting like a lil girl. Jay chuckled and stayed here.

Eman was cooking for us. I sat next to Jay. She looked at me and smiled.

"So, you and Keifer.... what's going on?" She asked me and I blushed.

"It's like we're more than friends but less than lovers." I told her and winked. She smiled awkwardly.

" It's nice." She said and was about to walk away. Before she could, I kept my hand on hers.

"I know you two have a past but do you still-"

"No we have nothing now. We're just normal classmates you know. So don't you worry. I'm not in your way." She said and smiled.

"Jay, you know he's still guilty about what he did. So, can't you just forgive him too." I said and her smiled faded. She shook her head.

"Please Jay, for me please." I said and her eyes filled with tears.

"I'll try to." She said to me and left.

I just hope Jay forgives him and just let him go. I'll help Keifer to move on from her but I'll not let him go. Never ever....
