"I...have a kidney transplant," Lexi said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Jameson's eyes widened in shock, and he stared at her in disbelief.
"When? Why?" he asked, his mind racing with questions.
Lexi hesitated, looking uncomfortable.
"It was five years ago. I don't want to talk about it," she said gently.
Jameson's expression softened, and he reached out to take her hand.
"If it was five years ago, why are you still feeling pain?" he asked gently.
Lexi sighed, looking down at her hands.
"My doctor says it has unhealed scars, but I'm going to be okay. He gave me pills to use," she said, her voice laced with a hint of reassurance.
Jameson's eyes narrowed, his brow furrowed in concern.
"What if it's more than that? It's not normal to be feeling this serious pain. Why don't I call my doctor? Maybe something more serious is happening, and you have no idea," he said worriedly.
Lexi shook her head with a smile.
"Don't worry, I trust my doctor. The pain always goes away anytime I take this pill, so all I have to do is stop stressing myself," she said, showing him the pill bottle.
Jameson's eyes widened as he took in the label on the bottle. It was the same bottle that Victoria and her mom had shown him. A chill ran down his spine as he realized the connection.
"When did the pain start?" Jameson asked, his voice laced with curiosity.
Lexi hesitated, looking away.
"It was two years ago. I fell off the stairs then, Doctor said I got scared because I hit the place on the ground" she lied, her voice barely above a whisper. It was actually Victoria that push her down the stairs that day, all because she was at the top of her class.
Jameson's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with questions.
"And you've been taking the pills since then? Don't you think it's very dangerous?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.
Lexi shook her head, a hint of defensiveness in her voice.
"It wasn't since then. I started taking the pill about six months ago when the pain became really unbearable for me, but my doctor said it's okay," she said, her smile faltering for a moment.
Jameson's eyes locked onto hers, his expression intense.
"You really trust him, I mean, the doctor," he said.
Lexi nodded, her smile returning.
"Yeah, he's been my doctor like forever," she said, her voice filled with conviction.
Jameson's expression softened, and he stood up, his eyes never leaving hers.
"You should sleep. But don't forget to call me if you need anything or you feel any pain," he said.
Lexi nodded, her smile faltering for a moment. "I will," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Goodnight," Jameson said, his voice soft, before turning and leaving her room.
As Jameson went to his room, he couldn't shake off the feeling of worry that had been building up inside him. What if what Lexi was going through was more serious than she was told? He couldn't help but think that the doctor might be downplaying the severity of her condition. And then there were the pills - Victoria's mom had told him that they were used to prevent pregnancy, but Lexi was taking them for a different reason altogether. What if it was true that consuming large amounts of them could ruin the womb? The thought sent a chill down his spine.
Jameson couldn't just sit back and do nothing. He had to do some research, find out more about Lexi's condition and the pills she was taking.

Janelle arrived at school very early, eager to spend some time studying with Zayne at the library. As she walked towards the library, she noticed a few students milling around, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Suddenly, a pair of strong hands grabbed her from behind, covering her mouth to prevent her from screaming. She was dragged away, her heart racing with fear.
She was thrown into an abandoned storage room, and that's when she finally saw the culprit. It was Presley, Zayne's friend, and two boys she didn't recognize. Presley had a deadly look on her face as she glared at Janelle.
"Why am I here?" Janelle asked, trying to hide the tremble in her voice.
Presley's expression twisted in anger.
"You know, you really have guts, girl. I've been beside Zayne for forever, waiting for the time he would finally see me. And when that was about to happen, you little bitch came and ruined everything." She yelled.
Janelle's eyes widened in shock.
"What are you talking about?" She asked.
Presley's grip on Janelle's hair tightened.
"You're going to go and meet him right now and tell him you're no longer interested in the relationship. Tell him you have a man you love and you were just playing with him this whole time." Presley said.
Janelle shook her head. "I can't do that."
Presley's eyes flashed with anger.
"Shut up, bitch. You will do what I say." She yelled.
"I am sorry, but I can't" She cry. Presley punch her and her lip bursted and she started bleeding.
Janelle tried to struggle, but Presley's grip was too strong.
"Please let me go." She cried. She hasn't experienced all this in all her existence.
Presley's expression turned cold.
"Sorry, baby girl, but I don't think so. Guys, teach her some lessons so she knows how serious I am." She said coldly.
The two boys moved towards Janelle, their eyes gleaming with a menacing light. One of them kicked her in the belly, and she doubled over in pain. Her knee peel too.
They were about to hit her again when the door burst open, and Zayne stormed in.
His eyes scanned the room, and his face darkened with anger. Without a word, he storm toward the boys, they tried to fight him but he was stronger than them, soon he beat them both to pulp. He carry Janelle and started leaving. Presley quickly run to his front to stop him.
"It's not you think, we were actually talking about something" she said nervously.
"If you don't get out the hell out of my front now, you will regret it for the rest of your life" he said, his voice his voice dripping with coldness. She quickly move out of the way.
She watch them leave, her fist folded, a tears escaped her eyes, she knows she has really lost her boyfriend forever.
"I am sorry" Zayne apologize to Janelle, but she just hug him without saying anything.

Lexi walked out of her class in confusion, wondering where Gemma had suddenly disappeared to. She had been looking forward to discussing their project with her, but now she was nowhere to be found. As she walked out of the classroom, she received a text from Gemma.
"Meet me at the school garden," the message read.
Lexi's curiosity was piqued. What was Gemma up to? She made her way to the garden, her mind racing with possibilities. When she arrived at the school garden, she was surprised to see a mat spread out with delicious meals on it. She looked around in confusion, wondering if she was in the right place.
Just then, Jameson arrived, looking just as surprised as she was.
"What are you doing here?" they both asked at once.
"My friend told me to come here."Lexi shrugged.
"Same with mine."Jameson nodded.
Lexi's eyes narrowed.
"I think I know what they're up to." She said.
"Yeah, me too."Jameson grinned.
They both sat down on the mat, and Lexi couldn't help but notice how delicious the food looked. She picked up a burger and started eating, savoring the flavors.
Jameson watched her eat, a smile on his face.
"Eat slowly, I don't want you to choke," he said, his eyes crinkling at the corners.
Lexi smiled shyly, feeling a little self-conscious under his gaze.
"You should eat too," she said, trying to sound casual.
Jameson nodded and started eating, his eyes never leaving hers. Lexi felt a flutter in her chest, wondering why he was looking at her like that.
As they ate, Jameson suddenly reached out and grabbed her cheeks, cleaning the little stain beside her mouth. Lexi's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met, and Jameson pecked her lip gently.
Lexi's face went up in flames, and she quickly looked away, trying to process what had just happened. She couldn't believe this was the same Jameson she had married. He had really changed a lot.

"I'm sure they'll be having lots of fun,They could fuck too, no one is allowed to go there." Jordan said with a naughty grin.
"Your mind is so dirty, Jordan."Gemma rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"I can't help it, sexy Gem."Jordan grinned. He had been calling her that since their clubbing night, and Gemma couldn't help but blush every time he said it.
"Gemma, I told Sweeney last night." Freddie suddenly said.
Gemma's eyes widened in surprise, "Really? What did she say?" She asked.
Freddie's face lit up with a smile,
"She was so happy about it, I was really glad I did. And it's all thanks to you, Gemma." He said.
"I have told you to do that before, but you didn't listen to me then," Jordan said while rolling his eyes dramatically.
"That's because you didn't give me a reasonable reason," Freddie scoffed. Gemma was just watching both of the with a smile.
The conversation was interrupted by Victoria, who stormed over to their table, looking angry.
"Where is Jameson? I've been looking for him everywhere." She asked.
The three friends continued eating, not even sparing her a glance. Victoria's face turned red with anger.
"Fools,"she muttered, before storming off.
Gemma watched her go before turning to Jordan.
"Has Jameson broken up with her yet?" She asked.
Jordan shook his head,
"Not yet, but I think he will soon." He said.
Gemma frowned, not understanding why Jameson hadn't broken up with Victoria already. She didn't want her friend to be sad.

"I really enjoyed myself," Lexi said, her eyes sparkling with happiness as they walked out of the garden.
"Me too," Jameson replied.
"Maybe we should do this more often." He said.
"Really?" Lexi asked, her voice filled with excitement.
"That is, if you'd like," Jameson said.
"I really do," Lexi said, her smile growing wider. "But I should go before people start seeing us together."
"Why?" Jameson asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.
Lexi hesitated, looking around nervously. "I just don't want to cause any rumors or gossip."
Jameson chuckled and grabbed her hand.
"I don't care if people do. We'll just tell them the truth then. We're not committing a crime, Lexi."He said.
Lexi's face lit up.
"Thank you, Jameson." She said and hugged him tightly, and Jameson wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.
"I don't want you to go now, We can just go to my private office if you want." He said.
"I'm in." She said.
Jameson smiled and led the way, his hand still holding hers.
As they walked, Wayne watched them from afar, his anger growing with each step. They seems to be getting closer and closer. He knew he had to do something to stop them. This relationship couldn't work. Lexi was supposed to be his, not Jameson's.

Zayne knocked gently on Janelle's window, and she opened the door for him.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of annoyance.
"Come on, Shorties, don't tell me you're angry with me." Zayne said with a grinned.
Janelle sighed and rubbed her temples.
"Can we stop those dating plans that we're doing? Now that I think about it, it kinda stupid." She said.
Zayne's expression turned serious.
"Is this about Presley? I promise she won't do that to you again. I'll make sure of it." He said.
Janelle shook her head.
"You shouldn't stop being her friend. You both have been together for a long time. I don't want to come between you two." She said.
Zayne took a step closer to her.
"You're not coming between us, okay, Janelle? Please be my girlfriend. I really mean it." He said seriously.
Janelle looked down at the ground.
"I don't like you to the extent of dating, so I can't." She said,her voice barely above a whisper.
Zayne's face fell, but he quickly recovered.
"Janelle, look at me. We could make it work. I promise you won't regret it." He said and put his hands on her shoulder.
"Just leave me alone." Janelle snapped.
"Jane, I like you, no I love you, since we are still very young, please don't do this" he pleaded gently.
"Nothing will change my mind so just leave" she said coldly.
She snapped her hand away from his shoulder. And went to lay on her bed, she even turn her back on him.
"Goodnight then," Zayne muttured sadly before climbing out of her window.
Janelle watched him leave, feeling a mix of emotions. She was relieved that she had finally told him how she felt, but a part of her wished she could have let him in.
As she went back to her bed, she couldn't shake off the feeling that she had just made a mistake. Zayne was a great guy, and she knew he would make someone happy someday. She has just never imagine sonething happening between them.

Lexi had a wide grin on her face as she showered, her mind still reeling from the fun she had with Jameson earlier that day. She couldn't believe how much she had enjoyed herself, and how much she had laughed. As she stepped out of the bathtub, she couldn't help but giggle to herself, feeling carefree and happy.
She wrapped a towel around her bodybody and went out of the bathroom, she began to dry her hair, humming to herself as she did so. Suddenly, she started singing "Shivers" by Ed Sheeran, using the dryer as a microphone and dancing sexily in front of the mirror. Her towel fell off, but she didn't care - she was too caught up in the music and the moment.
As she finished drying her hair and turned around, she gasped in shock when she saw Jameson sitting on her bed like a king, a smirk on his face. She quickly grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body, her face red with embarrassment.
"That is a great dance, Wifey," Jameson said.
"I'm sure I will never forget that." He added, his smirk getting wider.
Lexi's face grew even redder as she realized what she had just done. She had been so caught up in the moment that she hadn't even noticed Jameson was there, watching her.
