Two weeks passed and Alice has been absent from school. Cicely sat with Anna a lady of about her age who has a low cut as hair style. She has earrings on her mouth, nose, eyebrows and even tongue. "So you mean the somehow famous lady is sick and she forbade you to tell her b.f? That's shit yo" she murmured "yea I know right" Cicely said sipping her coffee. "I'll tell him look at the poor boy.he has dark circles under his eyes and he's rarely talking"Anna blurted using her pouted down lips to point at Shawn." She's just having cramps and she says she's shy to tell him her problem" Cicely sighed."Speaking of the devil" Anna said and Cicely turned her head to see who deserved the name devil and could only smirk."can I borrw your friend for a moment? "Shawn asked Anna" sure "she simply said
"pls ciecy I need to talk to you." he said. she had no time to waist so she abided by his rules."ciecy pls where is Alice?" He asked like a husband looking for his lost wife.
"She's sick"Cicely answered simply."ciecy I'll go crazy if I don't see her today.can you at least help me" he said a little nervous because by the way he sounded, it was his first time of asking a favour."well sure I'll help but on one condition "she said." I'll do anything. Just pls let me see her"he quickly said."you'll have to give me Skyline's number "she said."" Take the number "he said after going through his contacts. She happily copied the number." Let's go to our house. Mind you,ydon't ask what's wrong with her because she is having cramps and she says she's shy to tell you"she revealed "OK I get it.but is it that bad?"he panicked " no"she said to comfort him

In a small old house which turned out to Mr Nhai's house. The house was small but peaceful and neat.Shawn's car parked by the side.of the house and opened the back door."thanks "Cicely said.he just gave her a nod." Jeeez earlier such a worried look and now such a cold look. I'm starting to get scared you know"she tried to make his aura change a bit."you know more than anyone how the aura around me changes ciecy"he said In a cold voice. "Jeeez...quite it already you'll scare her" she murmured "I won't. She loves me I can feel it and she won't get scared" he proudly said and closed the door after ciecy climbed down. "Oh so called vamps" she murmured in a voice that only she could hear.well she knew he could hear her but she just murmured it.

"Alice..knock.. Knock" ciecy knocked on Alice's door."coming "a faint reply was heard from inside. Opening the door,Alice wanted the ground to open and swallow her because of the way she looked. Shawn saw her in her miserable state damn such a shame. But then she was relieved when he enveloped her in a warm hug." He..he didn't mind my looks.now I know he's telling the truth. "She said inwardly." A..are you alright? "He asked ripping her feet off the floor and carried her to the blanket she called bed." Y.yeas..I mean yes I'm good "she stammered as her face slightly reddened." You don't need to hide anything from me."he said giving her a syrup "drink this now" he added and she obediently did as he instructed. Cicely was just smiling and resting her head on the door frame."how do you feel now"he asked with concern. "Gone is that cold aura.Shawn you are unbelievable" Cicely smirked inwardly and then left in order to give them privacy. "I..I feel better. Thanks a lot" she said hugging him."are you sick as well?"she asked looking at his dark circles under his eyes but still she found him charming. "No I think I'll go crazy" he said."huh?"Alice. "Yea when you missed school for what felt like decades,I got worried sick.I felt like I was going crazy.I couldn't even get enough sleep without your beautiful face not hunting me in my dreams." He truthfully said. Her face turned light pink "sorry I.thought you'll worry too much if I informed you of my condition.I never knew you'lld end up like this." She said hugging him again. "Shhh.don't ever apologise to anyone okay" he said with a soft yet serious voice "what if I'm the one at fault?" She asked "even though. Don't ever apologise. It's your pride and with you like that will be best" he said meeting her gaze."but.."she was silenced with his finger placed on her lip to stop her from talking further. "No matter what, I want you to be like that" he said and then kissed her.
