Zach dragged me to her room, she took the dress out and threw it to me. She handed me a towel. "Take a shower here." She pointed the door beside her. I nodded.
Zach's POV
I went down the stairs reaching where Chris is. I saw him seat on the floor eating the crisp that we supposed to have.
"Hi. Where's Jessy?" I pointed upstairs. "Want some?"
"Don't eat more than that." I snapped.
"Do you like her?" He winked?
"Well, she's kind. But no, I don't like her."
"She does nothing wrong. You're the one who messed up."
"Okay." I put the beers on a table in front of the couch, add some crisp, a bowl of popcorn. I don't remember doing the popcorn. Who did that? Frowned.
"I do the popcorn."
I shrugged.
He gasp and caught Jessy when she tripped over. I hate it. Then, we watch some movies. Tell me why kids always watching movies... Kind of boring but good thing to do. He said that the movie was creepy, he slept instead. Weird.
I dragged her to my room. "Sit down."
"Were you angry again?" She shifted to be more comfy staring at me.
"I don't. I'm doing all this for Chris. I don't like you at all."
"I know. Sor...."
"Stop saying that words. Irritating."
She nodded. "I like you though." She batted her eyelashes.
"Say that again and you'll regret." What the heck?
"I'm fine with it."
"Wish for a punch?" I'm boiling with heat. I wanna beat her out of her crap. Crap.
"Will be waiting." She kissed me. Oh no! I've punvhed right on her abdomen. She flinched and moaned.
"Crazy girl!"
"Thanks anyway."
"I hate you." I jerked back. I pushed her against the frame. She put both my hands on her neck and strangling herself.
"Sorry for everything. You csn kill me if it makes feel better." I squeezed her neck. She moaned.
"It turned you on?"
She smiled.
"Then I won't." I pushed her out and locked the door. I like the way she approached me. Stupid crazy girl. There's someone shrieked. I went out of my room and went downstairs. I sitted her and checked her. Her forehead was bleeding.
"Can you stand up?" She nodded. I placed her on my bed and gave her first aid. What was so wrong about this kid. She chased me and broke down again. So fragile that she bleed again. Idiot. I chuckled.

Jessica's POV
I squinted by the bright sun, I spotted Zach beside me. Then, last night incident flashed back, she has good side after all, caring of other. My forehead stings, it obviously hurt. She's so cute in her sleep. I want to be with her, but I should end it soon. It'll bring her bad effects only. I took the toothbrush that I always carried everywhere and a thin dress I bought yesterday. I turned on the water and felt it splashing against my skin.
They're still asleep when I walked out of that door. They'll make a great couple.
Chris's POV
I heard a twisted knob voice and the door closed. I thought it wasn't real, there comes worried feeling as the heels tapping the ground. I saw Jessy walked pass the fence. Where to? Zach's trailed down, making her way to me, confused.
"Where is Jessy?" She rubbed her eyes.
"She just left."
"Why?" Her brows furrowed. "Grudge." In whisper.
"Grudge? What you've done?"
She shrugged.
I stroked her shoulder pull her forth and back.
"Nothing."
"You beat her again?"
"Whoa, whoa. Hold on. Like I said 'nothing'. She fell off when she goes down the stair, drunk."
"And then?"
"I nursed her and fell asleep." Mouthful of whole grain breads.
I went to her apartment to found nothing. I called her numbers several times, it was off. Where she'd go? I don't find any hint. She's not going anywhere we usually went. I searched near the school, but it was sunday. We didn't meet or talk till I saw her in the hall, preparing book for next period.
"Hi Jessy." She jumped a little.
"Hi." She goes to Biology class, ignoring me. She's forgotten that we have the same class. I sat next to her doing some experiment to know what substance those food have. The bell rang. She packed and go right out of class.
I jogged to her side. "Why you left the other day?"
"Nothing." She got to the bus faster than I expected. Left me.
Zach's POV
She'd been avoiding me ever since. I had a bad feeling about this. I want to go to restroom, not knowing why. I went in to the closest one. Jessy just vomitted blood and washing her mouth when I gasped. I held her hand, dragging her to the infirmary. She complained, refusing to go.
"Shut up." She winced. "Want me to piggyback you?"
"No..."
"Stop pouting." I opened the door, handed her over to the doctor, Mr. Cayne.
"Please gargle rhis medicine 2 or 3 times, it'll stop your bleeding."
She nodded.
"Feeling better?"
She nodded.
"Anything's wrong?"
She shooked her head.
"Feel ftee to talk. You'ee pale." I hissed.
"Do have any diseasse? Like anemia or anything that blood related?" He looked puzzled.
"Anemia." She faced the table not looking at either of us. The doctor searched through his dtawer and gave her medicine. We gout out to the parking lot.
"What?" I'm shocked. She let me hurt her, yet she has anemia. What if she's dead for it. Damn. "Why you keeping it from me?"
She shrugged.
"Why?" I felt guilty.
"Don't asked me as if you've never heard any of it."
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine." She jerked back.
"No, it isn't. Stay over tonight." I commanded.
She shooked her head.
"You must."
She shrank back defeated.
