Unchained Hearts, Surrender, My Love
By: Kawaii-Akio
Jhené stared at Sean with light brown eyes, she really didn't know what to say. She didn't talk to many men even back when she was in Japan. They just made her feel slightly uncomfortable for some reason. She shifted back and forth on her feet before taking a small step backwards. She just felt like turning around and running out the room like her life depended on it, she hated how socially awkward she was.
Sean seemed to noticed that she was trying to make a run for it, he pushed his back off the wall and before she can turn around he was in front of her blocking her from the exit.
She gulped looking up at him with wide brown eyes, she didn't know what he wanted from her. She closed her eyes and held her bag close to her chest. This was just so awkward she wanted the world to open a black hole and swell her whole.
"Why are you in a rush to leave?," Sean asked staring down at her with hazel green eyes.
Jhené jumped slightly at the sound of his voice, it wasn't that it was loud or anything. It just surprised her. She chewed down on her bottom lip and glanced up at him having to tilt her head because he was taller than her. This definitely wasn't apart of her everyday routine. The thought of running into a cute boy hasn't even crossed her mind ever.
She didn't know how to deal with handsome men. It was hard to even deal with men period. This was the main reason she didn't have boyfriend or ever had a boyfriend in her entire life. It was such a shame, she wanted to have one but her mind and words make them think she was weird or something and they try avoiding her at all cause.
"I...have to go to the...library," she spoke lowly.
Sean raised an eyebrow, he rubbed the back of his neck a little. "I know I seen you around before, you're that girl who is always studying and always held up in the library, a lot of people talk about you".
Jhené's eyes widen a bit, she knew she would be labeled as the weird girl. This just caused her to bow her head so that her eyes were trained onto the ground. She couldn't stand to be talked about. It happened back in high school, everyone would just talk about her. Some girls even made up ridiculous rumors about her and since she didn't deny or confirm them everyone thought they were true.
She thought since this was college everyone would be different, but it was just like highschool all over again. She could feel the tears swelling in her eyes. Was she going to be like this her entire life, she could feel her legs growing weak, she know if she tried to walk to would fall, but she had to get away from this person.
Sean didn't know what her problem was, he wanted to ask her but he didn't want to pry. He heard all of them things them people said about her but he didn't believe any of them. He couldn't believe a bunch of college students were acting like they were back in highschool. He remembered how he was in highschool, he was that stupid jock that everyone loved even though he treated them like shit.
"Hey, are you alright?" he asked concerned when she didn't say anything.
Her body was shaking as tears fell from her eyes. She slowly shook her head, she didn't want him to know she was crying, it made her feel weak. She just wished she left earlier if she did maybe she wouldn't be stand here in this classroom crying with a stranger.
He reached out and touched her shoulder feeling her trembling, "are you sure, you're shaking like crazy".
She couldn't take it anymore she took a step forward falling into his chest. Her cheeks felt warm but it didn't stop the tears from falling. This was the most embarrassing situation she has ever been in.
Sean was caught by surprised when she fell into his chest, he looked around nervously. He has never been in this kind of situation before, he didn't know what to do. His hands hovered over her shoulders, he didn't know if she grab her or not.
"Why me huh?" she asked her voice shaky from crying. "What did I do to get treated like this? I didn't do anything to anyone and all they can do is talk about me, so what if all I do is study and go to the library it's my life isn't it? They have no right to judge me or say anything about my life," she said glancing at him with tears rushing down her cheeks.
He stared at her in shock he had a crying girl in his arms. She must have felt this way for a long time and was finally letting it all out. He has never been the type of person to comfort someone when they were feeling down or when they cried over something. He didn't know what to do but hold her close to him. She was small and fit perfectly in his arms. It was strange. He felt bad for her.
No one deserved to be treated they way she was being treated. She was the completely opposite of all the things people said about her. She seemed nervous around people and shy, she seemed like she was uncomfortable around people and that she needed to run away from them. Is this why she stayed to the same routine everyday.
He wanted to changed that for some reason, he wanted to take her out to see what the world had to offer them. She seemed liked her entire life was just one thing studying. He was going to change her routine if that was the last thing he has to do. After she finished crying she had regain her strength and managed to slip away from him and going to her room, she just wanted to be alone and he respected that but tomorrow he was going to change her everyday routine.
