<b> Next Day

#Jay's POV

I didn't sleep all night.
Sleep never came..

I checked the time and it was 6:30am..
I got up, went to my wardrobe, searched for a trouser.
Pulled on a blue jean, and a black hoodie over the red shirt that I wore, got my boots on and walked out of my room..

I went into my mom's room by passing through the door.

She wasn't sleeping.
I know that.
She was in her glasses, going through her bible.

I inhaled and breathed out, “Im sorry mom.. I don't know why no one can see me... But im back. Im home. It's fine. Im going to find the only person who can see me. She'll tell me what is really wrong with me.” I said.

She was all focused on her bible reading..

I turned and walked out, through the door just the way I came in.

I went to Vitoria's room, passing through the door too and she was awake... Making a call.

“... He sneaked out two nights ago and he's not been back since then. Yes, Jay Danne. Tall. With tatoos and golden eyes and golden hair. He's exactly the one in the pictures that I sent. Yea... Alright.” She said, then dropped the phone.
She was sitting at the centre of the bed.

Then she pushed her hair back and put her hand on her jaw..
In thoughts..

Have she sent pictures to some police guys to look for me?
When Im here, looking at her?

Ah! This just gotta stop!

I turned and walked out.

I walked out of the front door, and out of the gate.

The streets were just starting to begin a new day.
Few cars passed..
Few guys working out..

With my hands in my pockets, I walked through and passed the streets, then came to where the streetcar, heading to Danar was.

I went in and this time around, I sat beside an old ugly lean man.
Don't wanna experience that shit yesterday.

The man looked like rag, but I don't mind.
He wore a brown face cap, with dirty black sweater and black trousers and was eating chips at such an early morning..
After few minues that the tramcar moved, he fell asleep.. with his head up and his mouth open.

………………………………………

Getting to Danar, and the tram stopped. I tried not to be the last to come down.

I trekked towards Learners Academy.. That was the school..

I passed through the crowded place yesterday but this morning, it wasn't crowded.

When I got to the school, The gates were open, so I just walked in.

There were just the workers mainly the cleaners moving about.
I found the bus which i hide behind yesterday and I walked behind it and stood.

I don't mind standing here for hours till she comes.
Once she drops her sister, then I'll go to her car and stay where no one's gonna notice if she talks to me..
or how do I just do this?

Whatever. I'll just find what to do when the time comes..

#Nana's POV

“Kiki.. c'mon im late for work and you're late for school. Eat up fast okay?” I said, getting her lunchbox and her school bag.

“Im filled up. Can't eat more or im gonna throw up.” She said, pushing her plate of pasta away and going for her cup of water.
“No. Don't throw up. Fine. Come on. We gotta leave now.” I said, running into the kitchen with the plates of remaining meal.

I dropped them in the sink and rushed back to her.
My skirt felt so tight and my blue heels made me feel horrible.

I love to be on trousers and sandals than this shit heels, but that's the only thing my work permits. Tight skirts and heels that gives me freaking headache!

I helped Kiki with her school bag to her back, took my handbag, and Kiki's lunch box and we walked out, locking the door.

We went into my car and I zoomed off.

“Nana... Do you think we are going to see the cute guy that you helped yesterday?” She said, bringing Jay back into my memories.

I smiled as I remembered the way he childishly did his lips side the car.. This car, there at the highway.

Arghh!
(smiling)

“Nana, why're you smiling instead of answering my questions?” Kiania asked, looking too closely at me.
“Oh.. What did you ask sweetie?” I asked, totally forgetting what she asked me.

She frowned.

“Never mind again.” She said, and turned her gaze to the windscreen.

I caressed her cheek slightly.
“Please huh... Tell me Kiki honey. I promise to take you to watch Mr bones on saturday.” I said.

She giggled, then smiled.

“Do you think we are going to meet the cute guy you helped out yesterday? I really wish to meet him.” She said.
“Maybe. Im not sure about that.” I said.

I really wish to.. I really wish to.

She nodded.
“So is uncle Jardel coming with us to watch Mr Bones on saturday?” She asked.

I inhaled.

“Yes Kiki. He will.” I said.
“Yes!!” She yelled,raising her two hands high up.

Kiki! Im sorry, uncle Jardel isn't what he really claimed to be.

He broke my heart. I wish I could tell you all this but I can't.

…………………………………………

I got to school and searched around with my eyes for Jay but didn't see him.

I took Kiki to her class and kissed her goodbye.

“Be careful. Love you sweetie.” I said.
“Love you too Nana.” She said and hugged me.

I left and walked down, back to my car..
 but when I walked over to the right side of the car to enter into the driver's seat..I saw him.

Jay

He was squatting down and when he saw me... He slowly stood up and we stared at each other.

I felt instantly happy that I saw him.
His dressing made him look like the bad guy that I guess he is and it fitted him just right..
I felt like rushing him into a hug.

When I noticed she was about to talk, I opened my car and got in, shutting the door..

I know im never gonna drive away like this but I gotta show my little pride.
He came to the window...

His golden eyes met with my brown eyes.
I know it looked perfect..

“Hey, im sorry. I've got alot to discuss with you.” He said.
“Really? so?” I asked.
“Let me in.” He said.

I svoffed even though it was a smile within.

“Im going to work. Im late already.” I said, going for the steering.

Just beg.

“No.. please. Just let me in.” He begged.
“You can't go with me to my work place.” I said.

Beg Jay.

“Please. I don't mind waiting in your car all hours till you close. I really wanna tell you somethings.” He said.

Well, do I care what you wanna tell me. Im just happy to see your cute childish face but rough self, and tattoed skin.

“Get in.” I said.
He first looked left, then right.. As if he's about to steal something..

Me?

Then he opened the door and walked in.

He looked at me and smiled.

Wow.. such a cute smile you got guy.

“Thanks once again.” He said.

I ignored him and drove away, kinda confused with the way few people were staring at my car and at me.

Well, whatever!
Always tryna know who's the guy with you!

As I drove out of the school, and into the road..
I decided to spill out the question which have been hanging in my throats since yesterday..

“Why did you leave that way?”

He stayed silence for awhile then looked at me with dull eyes.

“I'll tell you the truth.” He said.
