🎶Tears on my face, I can't take it
If lonely is a taste then it's all that I'm tasting
Do you hear my cry. I cry--oh
Can you hold me?🎶
Chapter Three
+Fiona's Point of View
I put off the cooker as I walked to the sitting room, I met Kai skyping someone, a guy, probably his boyfriend. I located my backpack wanting to get out of here as fast as possible. For a moment, I was happy, Caden made me smile genuinely and he did that with just a touch, if he had done more, I would have broken down in his hands. Caden made me smile for a moment before shutting me off and telling me to stay away from him. One moment he was staring at me like I was his angel, then the next he was staring at me like I awoke his demons, maybe I did.
"Hey Fiona, you done?" Kai said, breaking me out of my depressing thoughts.
"Yeah, I am" I said stiffly
"Oka -- Wait a minute, Where's Manchester?" Kai asked shutting off his Laptop.
"He left" I said.
"What?, Why?. He was okay a few minutes ago, he even wanted to do the dishes. Oh God! Manchester can be so fucked up sometimes" Kai exclaimed getting off his chair angrily, ruffling his hair, reminding me of Xavier at that moment.
"Will he be okay?" I whispered sadly.
Kai looked up with the same expression on his face "He will. He has to be. He would be at those places he goes to, abusing drugs, smoking weed."
I looked up, alarmed by his words "He uses drugs?."
"Of course, he does. Fiona, Cade is my brother but you have to be careful, he's been through a lot and I won't let you add to his demons. He was perfectly fine before I left and now he's gone, using drugs. Please, I beg of you, if your relationship with Cade would break him, kindly stay away from him, you are my friend but Cade is my brother, my family and family comes first" Kai said.
I stared at him, shocked "Wow! Kai! I can't believe this. We all have our demons and if you feel I'm a trigger for Caden, I'll leave and never return. I know when I'm no longer wanted so I'll leave. You talk about staying away from Caden and adding to his demons. What of me? How about me?, but who am I to fool, we just met, why would you care for the pathetic lonely bitch. I'll leave, don't worry" I said to him sternly with my hand on my hip.
I made my way to the door but stopped when he said "Fiona!, Stop! I didn't mean it that way. I'm sorry. It's just that you look like a girl who has been through stuff too. It would benefit you and Cade if you stay away from each other, to protect each other. I'm sorry if I offended you."
I looked at him, giving him the fakest smile ever as I said "I can take care of myself" with that I opened the door, walking out.
I walked for a while, before I realized how dark it is. I checked the time and it was 9:52. I walked faster, not catching sight of any taxi. I walked faster and with vigilance. I should have called an Uber before I left Kai's apartment. I can't think of anything thing now, not even Caden. Anything can happen, my head has to be in the game. I can't be caught off guard because I was in deep thoughts. I continue walking, I saw a sign with G. U. on it and I knew I wasn't far from the hostel. I was about to relax my nerves when I heard it.
"Angel, baby."
I swiped my head to the side slowly, oh how I hate those endearments. I caught sight of a young drunk guy walking towards me, more like staggering.
Instinctively, I gripped my knife, removing it from the warmth of my pocket, it's about to get some action.
"Why yo staring like that baby? Wana get the goodies" The junky man said, grabbing his crotch.
"Thanks but no thanks. I'm good" I said, attempting to walk away but was stopped by a hard grip on my arm.
"I didn't give you a choice" I heard the motherfucker say.
I let my bag fall to the ground as I grabbed his filthy hands on me, twisting it, hearing the crack sound. I heard his scream but I ignored it like he would have ignored mine. I took the knife, scraping him across the face. He staggered back, holding his face screaming.
I took out the frustration, anger and pain on him as I jumped kicking him in the face with my foot, sending him straight to the ground, he fell with a loud thud, knocked out cold. I walked closer to him, pressing my finger to the vein in his neck, after confirming his persistent but shameless existence, I took my bag and placed my knife back into my pocket.
I continued walking to my hostel. I wasn't lying when I told Kai I can take care of myself.
I should get up, I really should. Class starts anytime from now. I don't why I'm still in bed. I'm usually an early riser, I still don't know why I'm still in bed -- deep down, I know why. It's all because of yesternight's happenings. I closed my eyes firmly, taking a deep breath, I'll be fine. My world doesn't revolve around Caden, he asked me to stay away from him, I should but why do I still feel drawn to him. Caden is in pain, I feel obligated to help him. He's hurt me times without number yet I want to help him, maybe fi --
"Fiona Gwen Kings!" My chain of thought was cut off to an abrupt end by Caroline. I opened my eyes, seating upright, I stared at Caroline who was staring at me like she wanna kill me.
"What's wrong Caroline and how did you know my full name?."
"What's wrong?!, Did you just ask me that? Where the fuck were you Fiona! You almost made me mad yesternight. Don't ever fucking do that shit anymore" She said sitting beside me.
I looked at her shocked, She cares "I'm sorry for worrying you but I'm fine."
"So you won't tell me where you were?."
I bit my lips nervously, I can't tell her yet.
"It's alright Fiona, I won't force you to talk, there are things about me that I won't easily say, but for the sake of next time, put down numbers I can call" She offered.
I smiled gratefully as I wrote down Danielle, Violet, Cara, Sinister and Mrs Jovanni's number. "Here" I said handing it to her.
"Where are these people?."
"Italy" I smiled.
"Woah, that's far. Anyway, you have 20 minutes to get to your class. I don't how you're gonna do it girl" Caroline smiled getting up from my bed.
"Oh shit!" I exclaimed, scramblig off the bed, running towards the bathroom.

I entered the class in the middle of the lecture, I sat at the back jotting down all I could, PSY 101 is all about introduction

I packed my books, getting up, moving out of the class. I need to get some sleep, I need a good sleep and beautiful laughs with my people, I don't think I'm getting that soon considering the fact that Danielle and the girls are in Italy, a little part of me wish I stayed there instead of coming down to Gotham.
I moved towards the exit smiling sadly at the fact that I'm really lonely here. I was out when a sleek red car drove and packed right in front of me, I stopped walking. I watched as two guys clad in black with dark shades stepped out of the car, my eyes widened as the feeling of deja Vu flooded me. I watched as the people I wanted to see more than anything in the world stepped out of the car.
"Fiona!" Danielle, Violet and Cara screamed in delight as they jumped me, I ended up falling to the ground, I was still as a statue even as they stood up, dragging me with them.
"Is she dead?" Violet asked.
"Seriously Violet, you're staring at her, how could she be dead?" Cara said.
"She's in shock" Danielle said.
"I would be too" Violet said.
"Then she needs the antidote!" Cara screamed.
I knew what was coming so I screamed "Don't slap me!" but I was too late as Violet had already landed me her signature slap.
"Ouch!, Bitch." I groaned rubbing my cheek.
"Ha!, She's alive now" Violet grinned victoriously.
"Did you had to slap me?" I groaned.
We were silent for a while till we screamed at the same time.
"Oh my God, you guys are here!"
"Your roomie called us!"
"Are you okay?"
"Is it Cade?"
"Do we need to treat his fuck up?"
"Ladies, I think you need to find a more suitable ground for your discussion" We stopped when we heard one of the men in black say.
"Oh, Let's go" I said looking around, surprised to see that people were watching us.
"Yeah, Let's move" Cara said as we moved towards the car.
