A Girl Nobody Wanted

Sarah's POV I got a call from Jake after I got home. “Hello princess..” no need to tell how happy I was to hear that deep voice. “Jakelll Where are you? You don't know how much I worried about you. You should have at least call me before leaving” “am so sorry Princess... I had no time to explain anything. My dad needed me immediately.” he said sadly. “Is everything okay? Your mom and dad are fine, right?” I asked worriedly. “Yes... They are doing good. My dad got some issues with his business work, and he needed my support. ” he replied. “Then okay... I was worried thinking if something has happened to your family..” I said. “No... Don't worry, babe... So, how is your day?" he asked. Should 1 tell him about Mr. Pattersons mom and his call to me? No... He is already in some struggle. I should not make hi bothered anymore. “My day is just, as usual, Jake... But how you attend to any of the matters, you can't even walk properly.” I said sadly, remembering how he walked using crutches... “That's alright, Sarah... Clark is also with me, and he helps me with everything” he said. “I wish I am with you too, Jake... I miss you really a lot” I said. “I know Princess... Don't worry, all our problems will be solved soon... Then I will take you here and introduce you to my mom and dad...” he said, smiling. “Will they accept a poor girl like me, Jake?" I asked. “Don’t worry about those things, princess... I will take care of everything. You just have to stay happy and safe. If you are happy and safe, I will have the courage to fight with the whole world for us." he said assuredly. “I love you so much, Jake... love you even more than I can imagine..” I said. I just wish he is with me right now. 1 would rt to him and hug him so tightly, embracing his warmth... “Love you so much too, my little princess... You know that you are the most important person in my life.” he replied. “Sarah... I got to go... I will call you when I get time again. Stay safe, okay?” he said. “Okay, Jake... Please take care of yourself too..." I was sad because he has to end the call, but at least he called me. I shou be satisfied with that. During the whole evening, I couldn't get my mind off from what Mr. Patterson told me. How hard it should be to lose someone you love so much? What happens if I lose my Jake? I would kill my self too. There is no doubt... I am so stupid. I shouldn't even think of losing my Jake... I have to be positive always... I thought Mr. Patterson would call me again. But he didn't. Jake also didn't call me again. His phone was switched off... So, went to sleep at around 10.30. I was in a deep sleep when I heard my phone was ringing. For some reason, as soon as I heard the rings, I felt that something really bad has happened. The call was from Mr. Patterson. “Hello... I answered the call. “I lost her, Sarah... She left me forever..” his voice raised between cries. Oh my God! Without even knowing, my eyes filled with tears. “Oh, God! Mr. Patterson, I am so sorry..." “What should I do now, Sarah? For whom should 1 live anymore? Tell me, Sarah, what is the purpose of my life?" he was crying loudly. It was so damn hard to stand it... “Please, Mr. Patterson... Please don't think like that... Even if she left, she is still there looking at you. just think how sad s will be if she sees you like this..” I said. I don't know if that's the right thing to say in a moment like this. But I had to tell something. I couldn't let him just cry like that... “I don't have anyone, Sarah... I don't even have someone to cry with... When I lose Lilly, my mom was there, holding me. B now, I don't have anyone...” God! he is so pained... What should I do now? Please God, tell me what should I do now? “Mr. Patterson... If you feel any better having me there, I can come...” I said, without thinking that much. I hate my spontaneous decisions. I know I act like a total i***t some times. I had no idea about the seriousness of my suggestion. Why Couldn't at Least think of the person I love... Why couldn't I think, what he will feel about my stupid decision? “You... Can you really come, Sarah...” he asked. “Yes... If you want.. I replied. “You don't know, Sarah... How much it means to me... I will be in forever debt to you... You are absolutely a good person... he said. “Please send me the address... I will come in the morning” I said. “No... I will send a vehicle to your place... When should I send itz" he asked. “Mmm... Around 7.00?" “Okay, thank you very much, Sarah... What you are doing for me is truly noble... he said. I came back to my senses after he hung up. God! what have I done? I didn't know what to do now? I took a call to Luke right away... I didn't care, it was so late... Even before the first ring ends, he answered. Was he awake? But what was he doing this late? “sarah...” his voice sounded worried. “Mr. Patterson's mom has passed away..”"l said. “Hmm. he replied. Is that even a reply, when you got to know someone has just lost his mom? I can't understand you, Luke... How you becar this insensitive? “Luke, he has just lost his mom!” I said again. “I heard you the first time, Sarah... he said. Don't be like this, Luke... I don't like when you are mean... You always have to be my sweet, joyful Luke... “He is really devastated, Luke... He has no one with him...” I said. “I can understand that, Sarah... But what we can do about that?” he asked. “I told him that I would come there..” I said after a pause... “What! What did you just say?” “He was crying, Luke... I couldn't bear it... I told him, I would come there to stay with him..." I said. “sarah How the hell you said something like that before even asking from us? Do you even know anything about him other than he is a new lecturer in our university? Who are you to him? Are you his girlfriend? At least you re not one of hi: friends... Jake is doing everything he can to protect you, but this is how you act... I never thought you would do something this stupid.” he was furious. I know he has all the right to be furious... “I know, Luke... I made a mistake. But how can I just ignore him when he lost his mom? I think you can understand how much a mother means to a child more than me because you also have a loving mom like his.” I said. “Sarah... I understand what you are saying. If this some other student in the university we don't have any issues. But this all about him... Andrew Patterson...” “I know, Luke that we don't like him because he is creepy sometimes. But is that a reason to let him suffer alone in a situation like this?" I asked. “You know nothing, Sarah... He is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is fu**ing dangerous...” he said. “Didn't you both say you don't know him outside the university? Then why you sound like you know a lot more about him than me?” I asked. “This is not a time to talk about those, Sarah... Just call him again and tell him you can’t come because your parents don’ allow you... he said. “I can't do that, Luke. I can't be that inhumane. On the other hand, he may have already sent a vehicle for me." I said. “What the fu**? Did you ask him to send you a vehicle too? You are totally insane... he yelled. “I didn't ask him to send me a vehicle. He said he is sending a one. There is no point in yelling at me now, Luke...” “Don’t know how Jake will react when he knows this.” he said worriedly. “Is there a way to call him? I can explain to him." I said. “What the hell are you going to explain to him? He is already in a lot of trouble, what do you want? Do you want to make him go totally mad?” he screamed. Luke has never screamed at me like ths... Without even knowing, my eyes filled with tears... I never thought he would talk to me like this. He knows well how much I love Jake... Why he is acting this fired up. I can’t understand it. There must be something they know about Mr. Patterson. But if they don't tell me what it is, how the hell I am supposed to know about “Oh my God! Sarah... Please forgive me... I didn't want to yell at you like that. 1 am so sorry. I am so worried about Jake already. Now I have to worry about you too.” he said sadly, as I didn't say anything. Even though I did that with pure sympathy for Mr. Patterson, I know that I have made a mistake. I should have more patience than this... What Luke told is right. Jake has already got a lot to worry about, I am creating more troubles for him “sarah... Please talk... Please tell me you are not angry with me... You know how much I love both of you...” “I know that, Luke... I am not angry at you... But what we should do now? I can't just call Mr. Pattrson and say I can't come. can't be that heartless.” I said sadly. “Well... sarah... Let me talk to Jake. I know how to explain this to him. Let's see what is his idea too...” he offered. “Okay... But his phone is switched off, isn’t it? So, how can we contact him?” I asked. “No his phone is working. He called me just before you call me,” he said. “He called you... But at this time? Is everything okay?” my heart started to beat faster. “No... No... He is okay... Luke replied quickly. But his voice clearly sounded that there is something he hides... “So... Will you call him then..." I asked. “Okay... I will call you back.” he said, ending the call. Luke's POV “Jake... Don't get mad after what I say, okay... Just listen to me calmly...” I said to him. Even though I told Sarah that I know how to explain this to him, I actually had no idea how to tell him this in a moment like this... “sarah is safe, right?” he asked immediately. God! how much you actually love her Jake? For just a split second, I wish he loves me the same way he loves her... “She is fine, but she has made a mistake..." I said. “What? This is something related to Andrew, isn't it?" he asked. “Okay... now don't get fired up, just listen..." I explained to him everything. “He makes her take decisions like this, Luke... He has some power to do so.” he said after some time. He is correct... Otherwise, Sarah can't be this stupid... “They didn't let me or my dad even go near aunty Liz before she died... They even refused to talk to us... Its his mom anyways... He looked so miserable...So, I tried to talk to him... Do you know what he said? He said he doesn't want any sympathy from a murderer... How the hell, I became a murderer, Luke? He is refusing to talk to his own family, but he calle her... Someone he barely knows... He just wants revenge... Nothing but revenge... It is just aunty Liz, who could control the monster in him, but now he is totally out of control... I can’t even understand what I should do now, Luke...” Jake was continuously talking. 1 also didn't know what to tell... I only felt fear... Fear for the person I love most in this world...
