Chapter ten
Joanne's POV
A couple of days later…
"Jo, are you sure you're ready to go back?" Lewis asks for the millionth time. I just roll my eyes as I grab my jacket and put it on. After leaving the hospital I moved in with Lewis and I stayed in the spare room, seeing as we weren't going out. Which actually made me feel really depressed. I wanted to be his girlfriend but I don't know if there's anything between us. But I had been much closer to him after I had that dream. That dream still bothered me and I had no idea what to make of it. I still hadn't told him yet, and he hadn't asked. I left those thoughts till later as Lewis held the door open for me. I thanked him as we left and made our way to college. He was really reluctant about me going back because he was worried about everyone being horrible to me over the pregnancy, but let's face it; I could easily kick their asses with or without my powers.
It was a nice walk there and as soon as we stepped on the grounds of the college the stares and the whispering started. But for some reason it didn't bother me. I didn't care what they thought, as long as I was happy who cared what they thought? I certainly didn't. I looked over at Lewis and he looked worried, but I think it was more for me than himself. I just rolled my eyes as I took his hand and gave it a light squeeze before giving everybody looking a big cheesy smile. I then walked towards our science lesson that we had first, still keeping hold of Lewis' hand. I then noticed that there was still that build-up of power, but it wasn't as strong as it was before. Was that dream even a dream? I somehow get the feeling that it wasn't. And that worries me.
Almost as if Lewis could sense how I was feeling he stopped and turned me so I was facing him.
"Jo, what's wrong?" he asks and I was still debating as to whether to tell him or not. I trust him with my life but I don't know if I can tell him about it. It still confused me. If I was going to tell him it was going to be in private where it was just us and no-one else. I just smiled for my reply before walking into the class where the Professor was already sat waiting for class to begin. He gave me a big smile.
"Joanne, it's good to see you. Are you feeling better now?" he asks and I nod as me and Lewis take our seats at the front. We were five minutes early but I didn't care. We were better off in here where we wouldn't have to listen to all the students talk and whisper nasty things about me. It doesn't bother me now, but it will soon enough so I'm better off getting away from it now.
Lewis' POV
Jo was seriously worrying me, especially when everyone came in and the girls sat behind us started whispering about her. Except they didn't even have the decency to whisper quietly. They whispered it loud enough so we could hear and I could see Jo trying to control her temper.
"Look at her. I heard she got knocked up in the back of his car and that it was a major mistake and he regrets it every day. I bet he doesn't even want the kid. It would probably have a crap life if she was the mother anyway" I heard her say and just as I was about to turn round and say something, Jo squeezed my hand before she turned round herself.
