Episode 4

I came home afterward, Keith took me to my room and mom came running and asking for an explanation.

Like what do I tell her, that my rib got broken because Keith tossed me over the stairs, that's crazy right?

She won't believe me.

Keith on the other hand, gave mom a shocking reasonable explanation, mom believe his story and she left, going down to get hot water and a towel.

We waited for her to leave, and the minute she slammed the door hard, I turned and said.

"Why lie to her,"

Keith takes a step back and responded, "do you think she would believe the fact?"

And he is right, Keith might have accidentally tossed me over the stairs, mom will not believe it, just like I presumed before.

After a few seconds, mom came back, she holds a towel in her hand and asked Keith to leave

He obeyed and gave notice he was going to come back in the morning to take me back to my hostel in school.

We both shared a quick look as he takes a leave out.

I was gently placed on my soft pillow. 

Mom cleaned me up with warm water and made sure to massage the affected area.

Afterward, I slept like a baby, seizing any sound around me.

The next morning, I got up from bed and the pain seems to have lessened.

I had spare clothes at home and I got changed after taking my bath.

I came downstairs and mom had already prepared breakfast, she never let me or dad go out on an empty stomach.

Unfortunately, dad died, and till now, mom has never been able to forget him.

That's love.

"Good morning mom,"

I took a seat on a chair in the dining room.

"Good morning baby, how're you?"

She interrogated.

I smiled and slammed my hands on the breakable plate, mom served me a dish of chicken soup and asked me not to go back to school.

Although I do want to, I had no choice, but to decline, the school hasn't been easy  I get it, however, I cannot think of taking a leave, Keith may do something unbelievable.

His my concern, since his sister died.

Keith comes home after a while, I was just on my way leaving and we bumped into each other outside.

"Keith, you're here?"

I smiled.

"Sure, I said I would remember?".

He responded.

I nodded and mom comes out from behind.

Keith greeted her and she takes a sad response.

I know mom was going to be sad, 

Since I refused to stay back, I kissed her on the cheeks and rode past Keith into his car.

We both waved each other and Keith and I drove back to college.

A few hours drive, we returned to college, I came to my room and grabbed a book from my reading table.

Keith on the other hand stood outside waiting for me.

He refused to get in and I am sure, Kailey's memories are still fresh.

I came outside and we both rode to class.

Keith and I didn't have the same course study, and the minute I got into my lecture hall, he rides past heading to his class.

I took a seat at the east wing of the class and quietly waited for the professor to come in.

Gena comes with her minions and decided to annoy me.

"Hello, Samantha,"

She walks close, "do you perhaps have some time to spare for me, because we need to talk".

She added.

What exactly do we have to speak about.

Unfortunately, Gena and I couldn't speak, the professor walked in and he sanctioned us to take our seats.

I did and quietly paid attention to him.

After classes, I thought Gena was going to come to meet with me, however, she left the minute Keith passed by the lecture hall.

He walks in and meets me coming out.

"Hello Samantha, how are you doing today?".

He interrogated.

Of cause I was doing fine, minus the fact, he almost killed me.

Yes! His apologetic, however getting over the idea that I was tossed over the stairs and didn't die, make me think what the hell happened.

"I am fine Keith and you,"

I replied as we both left the lecture hall, heading to the cafeteria.

Inside the cafeteria, I came in with Keith and everyone all turned looking at us.

They all stared to a point, I pulled out a small mirror to check if there was nothing on my face.

Keith takes the lead and walked in front, and I followed behind.

There was a seat at the side and Keith motioned we go there and talk, I nodded and I'm getting there, a student decides to speak out of context.

"I cannot believe, Keith's sister is dead, I wonder if she was Keith my her parents, there something strange about that family,"

A guy seated there spoke to his friends.

Keith refused to walk further after hearing his statement.

He turns around and trusts me, Keith grabbed the guy's shirt with a hand and used the other to hit him.

He drops to the ground, grunting in pain.

I'm sure it was have hurt him so much.

However, Keith didn't stop there, he held him up against the wall and jabbed him again, this time making sure he cleaned his head on the table.

Everyone there all got uproared, they ran out in a haste and I had no option but to get Keith away from him.

With the way this is going, Keith might kill him, in a state of anger, remember he tossed me accidentally off the stairs, what If he does something stupid again.

"Keith, enough, don't do anything stupid,".

I dragged him back with a hand.

He tossed my hands and I went slamming my head to the wall.

I grunted yet he didn't have to take a look back.

The dean of students affairs came and he brought some friends with him.

They dragged Keith with force and jammed him on the ground.

"Mr. Keith control yourself"

Said the dean himself in a hostile way.

Thankfully Keith decided to let him win and he was taken up from the ground and forced to go over to the dean's office.

I tried to go after but I was taken back by the vicious look on one of the men's faces.

Keith was dragged and I took there watching.

After some time, I came to the dean's office.

I could have sworn Keith must be in a lot of trouble, since fighting Is against the school's rules and regulations, and now that Keith has broken it, what's going to happen?
