Time Flies

Preface

Hey everyone. The story is far from over. I still have some ideas. Enjoy chapter 28.

Chapter 28

2 months later. Nonny and Oona are happy together. They watch documentary after documentary.

Goby POV

"You remember?" Deema said. "What?" "The beginning of this year. We were here. Looking at the flowers. I think you gave me your first compliment here." "Haha yeah, twice the same." I said. Deema took my hand, and we then went into the meadow. We sat down and looked at the sunset. It was late in the afternoon after all. "This is so romantic." Deema said. I put my arm around her shoulder and said nothing. She put her head on my shoulder. "You're the best I know." Deema said with a low voice. "Same for me." I said. "I hope we will stay together forever." I kissed her on the cheek.

It became late and we decided to leave. When we were back on the street I saw a guy coming to us. "Heyy Deema!" The guy said and... Did I just saw that? The guy just slapped Deemas backside. "Hey who are you to do that?!" I said angrily. "No it's nothing Goby. Euh... It's how we greet. Let me present to you, Didier. We play hockey together for 5 years now." It didn't convince me but I stayed quiet. "I hope to see you soon." Didier said. "Yeah sure." "Bye Deema." "Bye." Deema said with a special laugh. It was difficult to describe. I never heard it before. It was a bit forced, nervous and comforting. We continued walking, now in silence.

"You are very close with him." I said. "Was that a question?" Deema answered. "I know what he did. I know its inappropriate but it's just him. He does that to everyone." "Oh and you expect me to react normally? He slapped your f*cking backside!" "Come on Goby it's nothing." Deema said. "How can I trust you with that guy if he does that and you claim to be very close with him? You can't imagine what it looked like from my point of view!" I said angrily. "You are exaggerating Goby. Just forget about it." "Just forget? And the next time he does that? Do I need to forget it again? Why do you even let him do that? That's not normal." Deema didn't response. Did I hurt her too badly? After some minutes I said: "Look... I'm here to help. Y..." "Help with what? I said it, just forget it." Deema snapped. "Tell it now! What is going on between you 2? Are you cheating on me? I wouldn't be surprised." "What did you say? You think I'm slut? What's wrong with you? You don't know what the situation really is! It's far worse than you think." "Wait, what do you mean?" "You don't understand it and you can't change it. Maybe it's... sigh. Nobody can change it, that's why we need to forget it." "I don't understand anything of what you just said. Please Deema, don't cry. I'm here to help." I said softly. "I also noticed that last time... You aren't as energetic or happy as before. You also hang less and less with me and the rest. Is there a link?" "Goby! Stop it!" She screamed. I backed off. She stood up. "I don't think we are meant for each other." Deema said and walked away. I was left there. 20 minutes ago we were sitting romantically next to each other and now... Now she's talking about breaking up. I walked slowly to my house. Tears were forming on my cheeks. Everything seemed to fall into ruins around me.

Deema POV

No! Noo! What have I done? I missed this chance because I don't have the power to tell him myself. I made him mad and sad. He probably hates me now and wants to break up. He is my boyfriend. I had to tell him, he could help, but I fell under pressure and with Didier's unexpected arrival... I had to tell him about the abuses. Now he certainly thinks I'm cheating on him, but I'm not. I was crying silently. I need to text him... To say I'm sorry. "Goby... I'm horribly sorry. This is one big misunderstanding. It's not what you think... It's far more worse." I texted. Now waiting for his response.

"Stop stalking me! Why are you so creepy? I thought we were friends." "Don't be dramatic Deema, I swear. Stay here. Hockey is your hobby." "Well not with you and your dirty friends. What you and them did was unacceptable... HEY don't touch me!" "I swear... I don't want to do this... Deema, If YOU tell anybody about it... Then I have no other choice than..." "Is that a knife? No, Didier stop. You're crazy!" "And if by pure coincidence I see you in public with somebody else, YOU ACT NORMALLY! Now go away. And be here for the next training. See you next week, dear!"

Please answer. You're the only one who can help. Not even the rest. Come on Goby! Finally he responded. "If you tell it's far more worse, then I can't imagine it. You mean what he did is not the only thing. Right?" "Yes." I answered quickly. "Well... Then..."

Well well well. For one time the story was happy and positive and it immediately got wiped away by a new problem. Will everything go alright? And what about the next thing the guppies will face? There were a couple small hints in this and the previous chapter, maybe you can find them. It will become more clear after this. Hope you liked this chapter and leave a review if you want. Bybye.
