AGAINST ALL ODDS ( Addicted to her). Chapter 42 : Anxiety.
Bryan's POV.We finished the class and I heard my name, but didn't bother looking at my back, because I knew who the voice belonged to immediately I heard it.“Bryan, you can't ignore me forever,” Ivy said, and I ignored her whole existence inside the lecture hall. Seb was feeling uncomfortable with the gaze, and I noticed that. He didn't like too much attention on him especially when it involved bad comments.“Shall we go to the cafeteria?” I asked, and he nodded at me, because it was lunchtime already. “Ignore me all you want Bryan, you come back to me crawling,” she said, drawing more attention to us, but I acted like I didn't hear, and we left the lecture hall.“She is acting up again,” Seb said, trying not to offend me, and I smiled. “You don't have to be careful around me,” I said, and he looked at me. “I don't even like her,” I added. “She is really crazy, she's too clingy,” Seb said angrily, thinking he was angry because Ivy was disturbing me, but when realization hit me I kn

Bryan's POV.“What's up bro, you are not answering my question,” he said, after he noticed that I spaced out.“No, I'm just amazed, like you know those things that j don't even know, I'm surprised,” I said, and he smiled.“You have a lot to know about me,” he said, and smiled faintly. “You don't like attention, but you work at a bar, and you know these things when I've never seen you with a friend before, tell me the secret dude,” I said, and he smiled.“Okay,” he said. “You still don't know the reason for my anxiety?” He asked, and I got confused. “What are you trying to say?” I asked confusedly. “Later, I will tell you everything soon,” he said, and patted my shoulder. “Okay,” I said, and we stood up. We walked out of the lecture hall, and I headed towards Giselle's office, but Seb stopped me. “Where are you going?” He asked, and I smiled playfully. “What do you mean? Go home I have something to take care of here,” I said, and he looked at me suspiciously. “Your new girlfriend?”

Giselle's POV.I went back to my office after the lecture and I couldn't get the scene from earlier off my mind. I did not understand why the girl would behave like that, I sense fear in behavior, but what could I do? She did not want to be saved. I thought, but I couldn't ignore the situation. I never imagined that such things could happen in my school. I was down, and couldn't stop thinking about the girl's mental health.“How can they bully their mate? Do they have a conscience?” I asked no one in particular.“That is unfair,” I mumbled to myself.Even though she pretended like she was strong, I didn't think that was the case, she was just scared. I started feeling a headache, so I picked my bag and took out my medication. I stood up from my chair to the water dispenser. I took my medication, and rested my head on my desk for a while. I couldn't even know how to take care of myself, but I was worried about someone else's problem, I couldn't believe myself. I sighed heavily and I s

Giselle's POV.The guy's gaze was crazy; it was like he could kill them any time soon. He went closer to the girls, and he looked down looking at the girl sitting on the floor. He looked pitiful, but the expression faded away within a few seconds. I could sense more than sympathy in that scene, but the guy's expression was perfect that he hid his feelings well.“Stand up,” he said, referring to the girl on the floor, but she didn't move an inch, she didn't even raise her head, and it seems like the boy was pissed off.“Stand on your feet, Audrey!” He yelled at her, and that made her jerked up. “What? How dare you? I didn't tell you to stand!” The blonde girl yelled. Audrey wanted to kneel, but she was stopped by the boy.“What! Are you choosing a scholarship student over me? Kevin, I dare you,” the blonde girl said angrily, and he smirked. scholarship student? what did she mean by that' I thought.“Cindy, I thought you were only struggling with your grades, but I didn't know you were

Sebastian’s POV.Claire went to a table and sat down.

I knew what she was up to, she wanted to clear her thoughts with alcohol.“Okay then,” I said. I raised my hands and called the bartender ‘James’ .

I went to my bedroom to get some rest, but I couldn't get what happened earlier out of my mind.Fifty-five minutes earlier, “Drive safe,” I said cheerfully, knowing that my ideal lightened up her mood, I was happy that it slipped out of my mouth. But she turned around all of a sudden and walked towards me.“Let me drop you home,”she said, and I widened my eyes in surprise. “You want to drop me home?” I asked, trying to confirm the words and she nodded at me. “You don't have a cab voucher either,” she said, and I remembered the day she wanted to pay for her ride, but she didn't have a cab voucher so I borrowed it from a female student, then I knew that she wanted to do it out of good will.“So you want to take me home?” I asked again, knowing Giselle did not like wasting her time on people, I wondered what triggered her to remember such details. “Yeah, since you did no

Giselle's POV.I drove into the mansion, and my mood was ruined by just stepping into that house. I walked upstairs and I heard a voice behind me, but I wanted to ignore it. “How dare you ignore my presence!” My mother in-law exclaimed angrily, and I sighed heavily. “Oh I'm too tired for this,” I mumbled to myself.“I am sorry, I didn't know you were there,” I said flatly, the hatred I had for her was just renewed so I did not have any reason to respect her so I decided to act neutral.“What! Did I look that invisible to you?” She asked angrily, and I just stared at her blankly. “Yayyyy, answer my question, how dare you act nonchalant towards me!” She flared up, and I just watched her perform her madness, because I was too tired to even hold my bag. I wanted to sleep after having fun, but that woman would never make it possible.“Don't be angry,” I said flatly, and that triggered her anger more. “Don't be angry? Haha, you are turning into something else!” She exclaimed, acting like

I smiled faintly looking at him. “I didn't know she would be that extreme,” he said, but then I remembered that he came to the scene without being called by Ivy.“How did you know where I was?” I asked with my brows knitted. He stopped talking for a moment before he cleared his throat. “Your anklet,” he pointed to my leg. “What?” I chuckled. “I had a bad feeling and you don't like the idea of bodyguards that was why I installed a tracking device on it,” he explained.I remembered how he made sure I wore the anklet when going out. He got it for me on the day he got me an engagement ring. I didn't realize he was trying to protect me all that time.I smiled at him, I was so happy that he was consistent with his character and he didn't change. “I got there late I am sorry, I should have noticed earlier,” his eyeba

The doctor became silent. “What's wrong, say something doctor!” I panicked.“She inhales a lot of smoke, and she bled too much, the fetus is at risk, and it is dangerous for her health so we might consider an abortion to make her safe,” he said.My jaw dropped hearing that I knew how much Giselle wanted a baby, but knowing I was the cause of all the circumstances I felt horrible.“Is there no other way?” I asked. “There is, but the patient's life will be at risk; she might not make it,” the doctor said.I shook my head unconsciously. “I don't want to lose her,” “Wh____ Dr. Niel!” I wanted to talk, but I was interrupted by a nurse coming

I ended the call and called Sebastian. “Hey buddy,” he said from the other end. “Hi,” I said. “What's up?”!
