High school, Heartbreak and Hitbacks Chapter 26
Chapter 26: Everybody Go CollectThursday, 10:30pm. After approximately forty-eight hours of ‘surveillance’ from the hospital, and Ryan and Marcus’s in and out of the hospital almost every hour, she was finally free to go. Compared to the look of fatigue she had on just a couple days before, you’d think she’d become Morbius overnight the way she was just ‘on point’. “Are you sure you cannot afford to just leave her in the hospital for a few more hours? It’s pretty dark outside, you know?”“Haven’t you people eaten enough money from our pockets in the last couple hours?” Ryan joked, signing some documents.“Come on sir” the doctor replied with a smile. “It is pretty dark outside. That’s the only reason I’m conc—”“Well. Thanks for your concern doc—” he dropped the documents in doctor’s hand, paying little to no attention to the professional in white at this point, “And thanks for saving my mom. Really appreciate it, but we’ll take it from here.”“Come on Mom. Let’s go.” Marcus careful

Chapter 27: To Spit or to Swallow“Yo man. We finally have the chance to talk, now that Miss. Ayesha ain’t come for class.” Devon tapped his shoulder. “Couldn’t hep but notice you weren’t in school yesterday. Marcus? Nigga are you sleeping? Marcus!” He jolted into full consciousness, looking around like he was stranded. “What?” he looked around, then looked back at Devon. “What is it?”“You sure you okay man? You’ve been sleeping all day.”“I’m good. I’m good. What? What do you want?” he said, his pitch-black eyes looking pretty weary.“I was saying, you weren’t in school yesterday, and the day before. Is everything good?”“Yeah… yeah. It’s been resolved now so it’s cool, I guess. Any other que—”“You sure you don’t want to go and chill in the library for a sec?”“Nah. I’m good.”“You sure? Maths next man. And we all know he won’t allow you sleep in his class.”“Fuck, you’re right. You know what, I’ll just go chill in the library” he slid off his desk and his books accidentally clatt

Chapter 28: Her"Y…yeah. I mean right. I mean, of course. Of course. I should umm…I should go.""Yeah you should" she leaned back, "Because you've been staring at me for a while now" she smiled. "Acting like you've never–" she stopped in her tracks like something finally made sense now. "Wait. You have… you know… before, right?""Sorry?" He said, playing dumb. Like he didn't know what she was talking about. Anybody would've known what she was talking about by now. "You're a virgin, right?" So much for being indirect."What? What'd make you think that?" He said, feeling a little offended now. "Well. For starters" she looked further down. Not knowing what she was looking at, he too looked down and then realized what she was talking about."Oh…that." He said, a little too red-faced for a black guy. "Yeah. That." She smiled, exiting the tab on her computer, then setting it to sleep. "Secondly" she continued, just as her computer slept, "you've been staring at my bra like it's the firs

Chapter 29: I’ll Teach You Things You Never Thought Were PossibleYou'd think she was a cougar or something, cause her experience was just on a different level. Her pose, her look, the way her eyes made his heart skip a beat. Everything was perfect about her, almost too perfect, he felt like backing out at a point. "No. I'm not sure this the right–""Marcus" she held him back just as he was about to make his way to the door. "Don't you think it's time to stop running?" She said, as if she was referring to something way deeper than what was about to happen. She looked into his eyes and started walking around him like a predator circling it prey, then she started. "You need to understand the first rule, is…" she whispered into his ears, "every moment is special. Or at least make it feel that way" she pecked his neck, sending shivers down his spine, forcing goosebumps out his skin."You need to create a mist Marcus. A mist that doesn't allow your victim see anything other than this mome

Chapter 30: Sinista“There he is” Ryan said, a tad frustrated. “Yo… did they tell you I’ve been looking for—”“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was busy with some stuff. It won’t… I’ll try not to make it happen again.”“Wait. What?” Ryan replied, kind of confused.“I said I’m sorry. I’ll try not to make allow it happen again” he said, as humbly as ever, opening the front door.“Wow. Umm Okay. Get in. Let’s—”“Hey. Wait up.” It was Alicia, gradually galloping to the car. Maybe she wanted to annoy Marcus, maybe not. But he wasn’t the slightest bit bothered. In fact, he helped open the door until she got close enough to the car, then slid into the backseat. Even Alicia was stunned. Ryan couldn’t believe his eyes.“Well that’s definitely new” Ryan muttered under his breath. “Come on Alicia, hop in” he said tapping the hood of the car. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….“So umm… you’re coming tomorrow right?“For the stuff… yeah. I’m coming. Hopefully it’s gonna be… you

Chapter 31: Yeah…sureTEN MINUTES TO SEVEN (6:50pm)“Are you still trying to figure out what color of tie to wear?”“I’m trying to concentrate Marcus. I’ll be down in a second. Just… just let me finish this color combination up first.”“That’s what you said ten minutes ago” Marcus smiled, leaning on the door of Ryan’s room. “Okay. What do you think?” He turned back. “Wait why are you in shorts—you know what, doesn’t matter” he said, arranging his tux. “What do you think? Should I go with black, or light purple? I mean black looks good and all, but purple is kind of different, you feel me? So, it might surprise her a little, but at the same time, impress her, you know? So, which one should I go with?""Hmm" he leaned off the door, "I think you should go with neither" he looked bluntly at Ryan. "What? You know what, I don't need your help. I'll figure this out myself.""This is a fucking dinner bro. And it's not your birthday if I remember correctly, it's mom's. Why you trying to put

Chapter 32: The Birds Pt. 1He didn't look like himself anymore. Almost looked like was sad and sulking. His hypnotizing red eyes looked like they had lost their effect. He was drained. Physically, mentally and emotionally. The ladies were in truth, never ever his strong point. And the fact that he couldn’t anything about that was…was probably what made him sad. He had everything. Right? The eyes, the brains, the body, the voice, everything was there. So, it just didn't make sense why he found it hard actually talking, conversating and generally having a good time when it was just him and a girl, nobody else. Maybe he just wasn't ready for another phase of 'love' or some shit like that yet. After all, he did put a lot work into making him and Vanessa work out, and look at how that turned out. Yeah. Maybe that was it. He just… wasn't ready to take the next step forward. Maybe he just… wasn't over her yet. Can't blame him though "Yo Ryan you good?" Marcus asked, walking into the kitch

Chapter 33: Such is LifePeace. Now this quote might have been said by some other important, renowned mind, but this is my way of putting it. Peace, Inner peace, is sometimes pretty hard to find. Not because chaos is most times inevitable, but really harnessing all possible emotions that could tip the scale, not being anxious, not being scared, not feeling guilty, not feeling alone, all at the same time is a very difficult task. Even for the strongest minds. Like his. He was right when he said he didn't know where he was going. He really didn't. Wasn't sure of what do with life at this point. Nothing made sense, nothing. And as he walked on the pavement while cars zoomed past, he fell deeper into the hands of his biggest predators. His mind. His thoughts, himself. "Everything was so supposed to be perfect you know?" He said, subject to his own soliloquy. "The perfect girl. Met her the perfect way. Had an almost perfect relationship. It should've ended better. Way better" he said. "

Chapter 40: A Killer Story“Ayy. Man of the moment. How was the—” She watched as he walked up the stairs without saying anything to anybody. Not the best looks he had plastered on his face either. Guess the event didn’t exactly go according to plan. “You should go talk to him. He was just starting to feel and act a lot—” she looked at her other son balanced on the couch, stuffing his face with ice cream and focused only on the television. He probably didn’t even know that Marcus just walked in. “Hello? Ryan? Ryan!” she smacked the bowl of ice cream out of his hand and It plummeted straight to the ground. Luckily, it’d almost finished.“Hey. Mom, I had a couple of scoops left.”“Did you even hear anything I said?”“What? Umm. No?”“Uggghhh” she plopped down beside him on the couch, grabbing the remote from his hands and changing the station. “You should go talk to your brother. And I mean a real ass talk. Not some ‘hey’, ‘hi’, ‘bye’ type of stuff.”“What? But why?”“Did you see him w

Chapter 39: Past Tense“So you’re not going to say anything?” He said, one eye on the road and the other on a stubborn and quiet Alicia. “Alicia? Hello. I’m not talking to myself here. Hmm. Alright” he smirked, now fully focused on the road, and caring little to nothing about why Alicia was pissed.“Why didn’t Ryan come?”“Oh, so now you want to talk?”“Just answer the question.”“When you didn’t answer mine? That doesn’t seem fair.”“You know what’s not fair Marcus? Want to know what’s not fair? What’s not fair is…leaving…me to… make a fool of myself…at the fucking event” she said, smacking him in-between words while he was driving.“Hey. Hey. Calm down. Calm the fuck down” he tried dodging the smacks but just concluded that it was better he took the worst of it than to crash the car. “You’re acting like you couldn’t just walk into the wardrobe and do nothing.”“Oh yeah sure. Of course I could do that. Because that’s what you did with Deborah right?”“Is that what this is all about?”

Chapter 38: I’m Getting Jealous"And then she dragged me by my collar and kissed me" he said, completely out of breath."Are you sure that's what happened or you just wanted to happ–""That's exactly what happened Alicia" he rubbed his short hair trying to calm himself and get rid of the adrenaline. "God her lips were so… so–""Please, spare me the details Devon. I don't need to hear that.""But you need to understand Alicia, I can’t just keep a moment like that to myself. It's just…it's just– Aah Marcus is out, I'll tell him instead."As always, Marcus looked in no hurry whatsoever to walk. One foot calmly in front of the other. You’d almost think he was stalling, waiting for someone to catch up. Alicia couldn't help but look back and stare. But she didn't have lust in her eyes. She had anger. Like she knew something she wasn't supposed to know. And Marcus would be on the receiving end of it. "Yo bro how was … wait. Are you good?" He looked at Marcus a little strangely, like somethi

Chapter 37: Marcus, More"Are you sure there's not something wrong with the–""Jesus Christ. Y’all just don’t quit, do you? Alright, let me see your cards…again" the coordinator wearily said. After seeing and judging the cards of both, she looked back up at them and said, "there's nothing wrong with the cards now come on, other people want to get in there, and I want to leave already. So let’s go" she held both of them by the wrists and led them up to the wardrobe. "Alright now. Five minutes" she watched as Marcus got in and Deborah brought up every single excuse she could think of. All to no avail. "Click"As soon as the door closed behind them, and they were engulfed in the wardrobe’s darkness, Deborah said in her usual annoying voice, "now don't think I'm going to do any of that nasty shit for or with you. We'll just wait until the five minutes are up and then we'll act like none of this ever happened. However, Marcus had other plans and the darkness, at this point in time was hi

Chapter 36: Not That Type of Girl?"Wait what?" Alicia said, completely dumfounded."Come on now, time is ticking Alicia. It is your turn.""Are you sure the cards are correct?""God, you guys are going to start with this again?”“Just please, check if they’re correct.”“Okay, fine. Let me see yours. Mitch, bring yours too." The coordinator saw both cards side by side and said, "there's nothing wrong with the cards Alicia. They're identical. Solid match. Now quit stalling and get in already.” She didn't know what to do, she looked at Marcus hoping he would say something, or do something, at least look jealous or uncomfortable. But his emotion didn't change in the slightest. He wasn't even looking at her, or how uncomfortable she felt when her dress ran up her laps a little as she tried to get up. So, she walked into the wardrobe, Mitch following close behind her, and the coordinator behind both. As soon as they got in, the coordinator closed it and stood just a couple feet behind.

Chapter 35: Take a 5“Thanks” she looked at him. His eyes seemed to look so caring, and though a pitch-black iris was intensely common around these parts, everything about him just felt so different. And they’d known each other almost all their lives. Hand in hand, they walked into the school premises like two reborn souls. Everybody was looking at them. This wasn’t the Marcus and Alicia they were used to seeing…at all. If this was prom, they’d probably won couple of the night just by showing up. Marcus in his well-fitted vest and t-shirt. How’d he get so buff overnight? And Alicia wasn’t wearing her glasses today. Damn, she was hot. The event had begun approximately two and a half hours ago but it was like everyone had been waiting for this single moment. Now everyone had to act like Marcus and Alicia weren’t stealing the show. They definitely we—“Marcus? Alicia? There y’all are. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you guys?”Alicia instantly removed her hand from Marcus’s,

Chapter 34: Simplicity is Underrated SATURDAY 4:20 PM. AN HOUR AND 20 MINUTES PAST D-DAYToday was a big day, and he was definitely dressed for the occasion. No tuxedo or anything serious, it was a ‘party’. He already had a bad reputation when it came to fashion, but today, the plan was to make a statement. He had on a pair of Customized Nike Air Max’s. Pretty good start… till somebody steps on your shoes while dancing. But oh well, you get as much as you give. The dark jean and partially over-sized t-shirt look, definitely wasn’t the best one to go with, but he was looking a little buff today. Kinda feeling it too, maybe it was worth a try. A new, formal-looking watch made it look a little more decent, and the face cap was an okay accessory. You know what? Forget that ‘dressed for the occasion’ thing I said earlier, it was mid. But hopefully, what he lacked in looks, he’d replace with sureness, because he felt like a million bucks today. “You sure you don’t want to go Ryan? Might h
