*Saphira's POV*
"Actually, the reason I came down here was because I feel very sick," I lied. "Can you take me home now?"
He grabbed his smartphone out of his pocket and told someone he was driving me home. He still didn't let go of my hand, while he walked me towards his car. Ben was gently rubbing my hand with his finger the whole way. We both said nothing.
We were in front of my house now. "Saphira," Ben said. I looked up at him unwillingly. "I'll be going back to campus tonight. I won't be back until next Saturday. Do you mind if I ask Lynn to give me your number?" he asked.
"Suit yourself," I said in a bitter tone and slammed the door shut.
With tears in my eyes, I ran upstairs and lounged myself on my bed. I picked up the phone from the bedside and dialed Amanda's number. Someone had to calm me down… I thought. When Amanda answered she immediately picked up my mood.
