JAY's POV
Ever since yuri's return my thoughts can't stop popping up. My mind is spiralling out 9f control and no matter how much I try I can't seem to calm myself down.
In the end, I found myself in the shooting range, trying to stay focus and divert myself from my life.
I was busy practicing my aim when,
"Hey, what r u doing here?"
I turned towards the entrance, startled, aiming my gun at the person.
Jay: Keifer? U startled me. What r u doing here.
I said lowering my gun.
Keifer: I was just roaming around and saw u here. How can u even practice with such good aim and without even covering ur ears.
Jay: I'm used to it. I used to train here a lot when I first came. It was one of my favourite places back then. I could release all my pain here without anyone bothering me.
Keifer: so, why did u come this time.
Jay: just to calm down and not spiral out if control.
Keifer: is this about yuri?
Jay: mm. I just can't stop thinking about it. I keep thinking about what he said. Why would he give us Intel? Why would he help us after what he did? What's really going on with him?
Keifer: we can't be sure unless he talks to us. And I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon. We still have some days left till we graduate. My guess is he won't explain to us before that.
Jay: is he really trying to help is by playing a double agent or is this just another one of his manipulative games?
Keifer: I can't say for sure. But what I can say is that u clearly need to be distracted and eat and also review for our next exam. Luck for u, I'm here to help.
Jay(chuckling): well aren't u a handsome hero always there for a rescue.
Keifer: only for u wifey😏 now let's get some food in u then a little study and after that we will watch a movie.
Jay: ok but only a short one ok. We have an exam tomorrow.
Keifer: as u wish my queen. But I really wish we had at least one holiday in between exams so that I could spend more time with u, not only for studies.
We walked to the hall where everyone was already eating in complete silence.
Jay: what happened? Why r u guys so quite? U r never quite, always so chaotic.
David: nothing Jay. We just can't believe that yuri came back after he did. He hurt us all really bad. We're just lost in thought, that's all.
Jay: u don't have to worry about it. And besides he didn't hurt u guys. Just don't think about it. The League can handle it.
Ci-n: but he did hurt us Jay. He hurt u, our mutya and Keifer, our class president. U both r always there for us. How can he target u like that. He betrayed us all by hurting u both and leaving us.
Jay: maybe he had his reason that we don't know about.
Felix: don't defend him Jay. We r here stuck in this situation, hiding away from our families because of him. Because of him u got shot. He teamed up with keifer's father Jay.
Drew: we can't even be with our families Jay. I can't be there for my little sister and my mom Jay.
Denzel( angrily ): u can if u want to. No one is stopping u. Why r u even here after what u did huh. U and yuri r the same.
Drew: that's not true. I had no choice. I had to do that to protect my family.
Blaster: and what about us. U basically handed us over to ram. U didn't even think about us.
Denzel: u even put Grace in danger u bastard. Why r u even in our section after what u did.
Jay: STOP IT! All of u. I was the who let drew stay till graduation. I know it's not easy for u to forgive him after what he did but I still did even after he put my life in danger because I understood his reasons.
Kit: no reasons excuses him from his betrayal Jay.
Jay: u guys want talk about betrayal. Ok then what about the time u made a plan and used me for ur revenge huh. I still forgave u all didn't I. Even after u all hurt me and broke my trust, I still gave u chance. I'm not ask u all to forgive him so easily. I'm ask for a chance from u all to at least listen to his explanations and try to understand his side.
....
Keifer put his hand on my hand to show that he was with me. To show that he was sorry for what happened. To assure me that he will be there with me and that I don't have to keep everything inside me, not infront of him.
I gently squeezed his hand in return and looked at him before turning back to them again.
Jay: and as for yuri, leave it to me and the league. He's our problem to deal with. U all don't need to worry. Now can we just eat in our usual chaos and then review for our exam tomorrow. We can watch a movie after that if u guys want.
David: ok Jay.
Felix: sure.
Ci-n: ok but I gat to choose the movie.
Jay: whatever ci-n.
We ate our food with some teasing and chaos after that. And then reviewed for our exam as well as practiced on some mock test and got quizzed by ma'am Cindy and sir Alvin.
By the time we were done it was already 10 pm. We ate our dinner and then made our way to the movie theatre.
Jay: ok ci-n which movie r we watching today.
Ci-n: a short horror movie.
Jay: no. Anything but horror.
Ci-n( smirking ): too late Jay. U said I get to choose and I choose horror.
Jay: fine whatever.
I sat in the back row as a away from the screen as possible clutching to Keifer who sat beside me. Clearly enjoying me being scared too much.
Jay: ur enjoying this r u.
Keifer: ofc I am. I always enjoy being hugged by u.
Jay: did u plan this.
Keifer( smirking): maybe.
I hit him in the arm.
Jay: gago.
Keifer: profanity😏😘
Before I could react or pull away, he grabbed my neck and pulled me into a deep, desperate, hungry kiss.
I froze for a sec before melting into it. We kissed like we hadn't kissed for an eternity.
We pulled back when we were breathless. Forehead resting on each others.
Keifer( breathless ): I have been waiting to do that for a while now but never got the right time to.
I blushed hard.
Then cleared my throat.
Jay: we should be watching the movie. Otherwise someone might see us and they we definitely won't hear the end of it.
Keifer: whatever u say wifey.
Then a jump scare came on the screen and I jumped on to keifer's lap, wrapping my arms around him.
Jay: aa.... sorry, I just got scared.
I tried to move of his lap but he put his hand on my waist, grounding me.
Keifer: stay.
And I did. But only because of was scared nothing else😶
As soon as the movie ended I ran to my room.
My heart beating son hard against my ribcage I thought it would jump out.
I was too close to Keifer and now my pulse won't stop racing.
Jay( in her mind ): calma Jay Jay calma.
Then I heard a knock on the door.
I opened it and saw keifer standing there. His usual smirk plastered on his face.
Jay: w..what is it.
Keifer( innocently ): I'm here to sleep.
Jay: what? Kuya will kill u if he finds out about this. He already tried to kill u last time remember.
Keifer: don't worry I already asked for his permission earlier, he was a little pissed but I won him over with my charm😏 and besides I'm not going to leave u alone when u r clearly still scared from that movie. Ik u get nightmares. I will be ur protector😎
Jay: I'm not scared and since when did u and kuya have some quality sibling time huh?
Keifer: only when u r the reason Jay. you r still trembling Jay. And u know u can't lie to me.
I blushed a little but quickly hid it and rolled my eyes at him.
Jay: fine whatever.
I let him in, freshened up in the bathroom and went to sleep while hugging him tightly because honestly, I was still scared and I didn't care if he was enjoying this or if we were too close right now. I was just glad that he was there for me.
