Peter was very angry because Max couldn't even ensure the safety of his sister. What will happen if they started going out...who will protect her then.
"I'm sorry...I truly tried my best...I went to get my ride so we could go home but I never expected someone to plan such" Max said with a sorrowful expression without avoiding Peter's punches.
His heart was in so much pain when he saw the unconscious Monica with a head covered with blood.
"Plan??... you mean this was Kiarra's doing?.." Peter questioned as he stopped throwing punches.
"I'm not very certain...she was the cause of what happened at the cafeteria this morning so I scolded her, I don't know if she did this to vent her anger" Max said as he sank deep in thought.
"But one thing is for sure...she will pay for this" Max said as he tried to suppress his anger.
Ten minutes passed and still no news from the nurses. Chris arrived earlier but couldn't keep Max calm.
Max tried to keep himself in check but was very worried. He has never felt this way before...when he isn't able to keep his emotions in check.
Half an hour later, a nurse finally came out.
"How is she..." Max rushed in front before anyone could speak.
"You must be her boyfriend right...anyway the cut wasn't too deep but she lost alot of blood, but she's fine now you can go see her" the nurse said before she left.
When Max entered the room, Monica was already awake and was trying to sit up. "Be careful..." Max rushed over to herside to help her.
"My head hurts a little...but I'm fine" Monica said in a weak voice.
Max felt as it his heart has been pricked with a thousand needles when he saw her in pain.
"Its all my fault...I'm sorry...I didn't protect you well" Max kept on blaming himself. He felt guilty because he could have helped her if only he was there.
Monica couldn't take all his self blame so she stretched her hands to cover his mouth.
"Its okay I don't blame you...and you are making my...head hurt.." Monica was about to say ' ...my heart' but she quickly changed tongue. She didn't know what came over her but at least she didn't say it.
"I'm sorry I'll let you rest...and um...there's an angry big brother waiting to meet you" Max said as he went out to get the twins.
'Oh no...big brother is gonna scold me' Monica realised that she promised she won't get hurt just this morning and look what happened.
What will Peter do now...
"Monica..." a deep and angered voice brought Monica back to reality.
"Big brother..." Monica called out guiltily. "Brother I'm super doper sorry I promise I won't get hurt again" Monica suddenly turned into a three years old girl pleading not to get scolded.
Peter has always doted on her since she was young. He would always get her anything she wants even if she demanded for a star, he would get her one without hesitation.
Monica felt really bad because she knew her brother was hurting. How could he bear to see her in this state??
"I'll see what I can do about mom, in the meantime stay away from Max" Peter said before storming out of the room.
He also said the same thing to Max warning him not to go near his sister before he left.
Max stared at the door in front of him for a few minutes before departing from school. No one heard anything from him until late midnight.
Monica was very sad when Peter told her to stay away from Max. She knew he did everything for her own good but the thought of not seeing his vibrant and bright face made her sad.
Monica was later allowed to go home so she returned with Priya. The whole school was well informed of what happened so Monica rose to another level of fame.
When she returned home it was already late afternoon and she unexpectedly met her mother in the living room.
"Mom..."
"Enough...did you really think I won't find out...come hear sweetie, are you okay..." Mrs Martha interrupted Monica and embraced her the moment she laid eyes on her.
