Sophia p.o.v
I Waited for about an hour when I spotted brian coming out from the window, he stood at the balcony and looked around to see if anyone was around.
He quickly jumped down from the balcony. The house was size of mansion and one would not be able leave the house for years while trying to get out.
As soon as he landed, a woman came out and looked outside. She probably suspected someone was around.
After a minute, she went back and pulled the curtain. I looked around and saw Brian coming out from a nearby Bush. He was hiding himself.
As he walked towards the wall,I realized he was limping, he must have twisted his ankle when he jumped down.
As he was struggling to jump over the wall. I saw a guard walking around with a touch, he was walking towards where brian was.
I quickly thought of something when an idea struck in my head. I quickly rang the bell on the main gate to get the guard's attention.
The man in suite walked to me, as he saw me as I kept ringing the main gate.
"Excuse me who are you?" He asked as he looked anywhere but me.
"Um.... hi is this Jake's resident?" I asked not knowing who the person is either.
"No am afraid not" he responded.
"Am sorry is just that I have been walking a long time and it looks like am lost could you please help me?" I asked
"Sorry miss but I don't think I can" he responded while he kept looking back.
I looked behind him and saw Brian climbing up the wall andi was finally happy that he managed to jump out.
"It's ok sir, I'll keep asking the neighbours then Goodnight " i said and left in a hurry without hearing his response.
I left the main gate and walked away, that's when I saw Brian sitting on the side of the road.
"Hey Brian, are you ok?" I asked as I saw him holding his ankle.
"Sophia, what are you doing here?were you following me?" He asked
"You look like you've hurt yourself, should I take you to hospital?" I asked ignoring his question.
"No am fine,I'll just go back to the dorm and put ice on it am sure it's not that serious"
"Are you sure, I think it's best if a doctor takes a look at it and besides the doctor in the infirmary isn't available at this hour" I said
"Like I said it's not that serious so please can you drop it "
I didn't argue with him, otherwise he will keep asking me questions so, I got us a taxi back to school.
Once we got out, he ignored me and limped back to his side of the dorm.
I wanted to follow him, but the bell rang for the gate and the dorm to be closed. So I quickly ran to my room and locked the door.
I threw myself to bed,I wondered if he was ok and why was he mad at me,it wasn't like I was the one who threw him from the balcony he did it to himself.
The next day
I woke up feeling guilty, I knew that I didn't do anything wrong but the look he gave me last night showed that he didn't care that I risked myself to save him or else he would have been caught by the guard.
I went to class, looking for him and maybe explain myself to him, but he didn't come to class the whole day.
I spotted one of his teammates samuel, he was practicing for the game so I approached him and asked him about Brian.
"Hey sam,have you by any chance seen Brian?" I asked looking around the room.
"No, actually he didn't come for practice and he took a leave from school" he said.
"Did he say anything to you?" I asked curiously.
"Yeah he did, the thing is,his ankle was bruised so I don't think he will be able to play with us this season " he informed.
"Oh really?Then by any chance can you please give me his address" I insisted.
"Yeah sure"
He sent me his address and I thanked him for it and I immediately went to his house.
It took me around two hours to finally reach his home. It was quite small house probably for two to three people.
Am actually from a rich family so I didn't quite feel comfortable but all I knew was I was here for brian.
So I walked to the compound and knocked on the door. A boy around ten years old opened and he looked at me for a minute before screaming his mom's name.
Soon a woman came and stood behind him. She looked quite young but not so much. I cleared my throat and introduced myself .
"Salaam hi am Sophia Farah, am your son's friend and colleague from university of new York.
"Hi Sophia, please come on in" she said smiling.
When I entered, I saw Brian on the sofa playing video games. He didn't look my way so I assumed he thought I was one of his neighbours.
"Hey mom who is it?" He asked while still playing.
No one answered as his mom and brother left us alone.
Once he turned he looked surprised or not couldn't tell either one it was.
"What are you doing here? And how did you know where I live?" He said annoyed with my presence.
"I actually got it from one of your friends and teammates samuel and please don't be mad I just wanted to see you "
"Well now you have so please leave will you?"
"Why the hell are you mad at me for?"
"Are you seriously asking me that?"
"If course I am who else should I ask?"
"You followed me all the way to samra's house why?were you stalking me?"
"No,yes,no I mean I just wanted to help you when I saw the guard walking to your side I....."
"You watch huh?!Sophia for the last time leave me alone will you?"
I didn't stay there another second I left his house in tears and I didn't know why never in my life have I cried infront of someone.
It was really...
