Chapter Thirty Four: Keep Moving Forward


Jesus dusted the hairs off Ava's neck. He turned her seat to face the mirror to check out her fresh cut with an uncut fade on the sides and back.

"Will this do?" He whipped the apron off her shoulders. Ava rub the smooth waves on the side then the short buzz cut on top of her head.

"Yeah. Thanks for fixing it. Clem thought she had skills." She glanced at Clementine. The light skin girl wobbled to them to check out Ava's hair. Rubbing the clean fresh cut.

"Hey girls...Woah! I like this new look!" A woman came in from the back with hot coffee. Ava and Clem smiled at the woman with the pixie cut.

"Hey Jane." They greeted in unison.

"Jesus, why do you always pamper these two?" Jane circles around Ava, gawking at her new style. Jesus stole Jane's cup and sipped it.

"Look who's talking. Mrs. Run away." He muttered. Jane wacked the back of his head, causing his man bun to come a loose.

"Running from who?" Clem asked.

"Is it Luke?" Ava asked. She had a hunch. Jane dragged out a loud sigh and slouched on the couch with Clem.

"Of course. Is this about your family curse." Ava continued as she sat on Clem's lap. Jane smacked Ava's arm. Ava rubbed the spot.

"But out..." Jane mumbled. Jesus gave her back a refill cup of coffee. She drank it.

"Jane, how long are you going to keep running away from him? We all know you guys like each other." Clem shrugged. Jane raised her hand and Clem used Ava as a shield.

She didn't strike either of them but stroked her own spiky hair.

"It's complicated." She stared at the coffee.

"If you mope around here, then duh. You should go talk to him." Ava slouched on the arm chair with her legs over Clem's thighs. Clem leaned her head on Ava's shoulder.

"I don't need advices from kids." Jane glares at them. Jesus chuckled.

"No offense, Jane, the girls are right." Jane flipped him off.

She grumbled as she stretched her legs over the girls and turn over to face her back to Jesus.

"Jane~"

"I'm sleep."

Mariana finished her test early so she had a chance to go to the bathroom. As she strolled in the empty halls she saw Gabe going through his locker.

"Heard anything from Sophie?" Mariana passed by him. Gabe a gab of guilt gut punched him. He turned to Mariana.

"What's with you lately? First the Mitch thing and now your taunting me because... of that. Does this help you sleep at night?" He furrowed his brows. Mariana hummed as she walked pass him.

"Playing the victim won't save you Gabe." She left him at that.

Save him?! What do she mean?

The Garcia boy slammed his fist on the metal locker. He really did fuck up. No one would forgive him. They probably think he's a fuck boy and a punk. Not knowing what to do to fix everything.

He turned to the left to see everyone coming out the classrooms. He even spotted Clem talking to Louis. They turned around, making their way to the staircase. Louis carefully helped the cripple girl down the stairs by giving her a piggy back ride. Watching her back sink and curls bounces was painful. So painful it felt like someone ripped open his chest and stabbed his heart.

"Ben, if you need someone to help you, don't be afraid to ask anyone to study with." Lee encouraged his bandaged student. Ben shrugged his shoulders as he left out the door.

When the room was cleared, Molly made her way in and shut the door behind her. She waltzed up to Lee.

"Hey Professor E." She fluttered her lashes. Lee sighed. He gathered his stuff in his messenger bag in a hurry.

"Hello, Molly." He said quickly. Very quick, it sounded like he said 'Elmo'.

"I came by to tell you that I won't be able to attend to class tomorrow. Is it...possible that I email you the assignment tonight." She asked.

Lee sighed. Secretly relieved that the girl isn't going to harass him for a day.

For two months from now, November, Molly been molesting Lee in and outside of class. She would send him side notes on her work about how good he dressed. When he praised her work, she would whisper how much she wants him. And she has a habit groping his ass when he walked by her.

He warned her so many times about slipping a note to the dean, but every attempt gets worst and worst because she knows he won't do anything to keep his wife out of this.

"Sure. It's fine." She smiled and left the class room.

Mike and Bonnie mourned beside their daughter's body. Minerva and Tennessee laid their heads on the edge of the bed as they sat on the chair.

Minerva never let go of Sophie's after they pumped her out. Losing Sophie is like losing herself. Sophie may do the dumbest shit, but she still loves her sister.

That night, when Louis and Violet helped her take Sophie in the hospital, Minerva immediately called Tennessee to warn their parents.

Louis and Violet stayed by Minerva's and Tennessee's side until light broke outside.

Violet stayed up, sending Minerva text messages. Minerva stopped replying due to exhaustion.

"Mmmm..." The girl's body stirred as she fluttered her eyes. Bonnie got up, cupping the side of Sophie's cheek.

"Hey sweetheart." She smiled sweetly like her tone. Tears prickling up in her eyes. Sophie forced a smile.

"Hey." She croaked faintly.

Mike got up and kissed his daughter's forehead. Stroking her ginger hair back in a soothing way.

"Where am I?"

"At the hospital honey. The doctor will come check on you and then we take you home." Mike told her. Sophie nodded.

She looked down when she felt a tight hold on her hand.

Minerva's hand gripped on Sophie's. The girl's vision blurred as tears ran down her pale cheeks. She bit her bottom lip, squeezing back her older twin's hand.

Lee came out the shower, drying himself off. Carley poked her head in.

"Clem staying at Ava's again." She smiled. Lee shook his head. He rubbed the towel over his head as he made his way to her.

"I bet they went to another party." He rolled his eyes. He needed a word with his daughter. The girl been partying too much for his liking.

Carly slid her hands Lee's damped chest, up his shoulders to massage them.

"Relax. She said Ava isn't feeling well and she's comforting her." She leaned to him to kiss his chin. Wrapping her arms around his neck as she buried kisses all over his neck.

Lee smirked. Tempting to take another shower but with her in it.

"I guess we can go out or..." He trailed off as he kissed her lightly on her nose. Carley smile widened.

"Give me an hour or so to finish up reading these articles and then I'll get back with you." She slapped his naked butt. Lee chuckled as he wrapped the towel around his waist.

"Fine. I guess I'll get busy with work too." He rolled his eyes. Carley giggled.

Later, Lee read through his students' paper work. History is his passion. But going through shitty work pissed him off. Only a few of his students were engaged with his lessons. The only way he could tell is by their work and class participation.

He opened his laptop and grade book. Jolted down the grades on the book and checked through his emails from the University.

"Lee, I'mma shower!" Carley yelled.

"Okay!" He shouted back.

Lee leaned back on the chair. Rested his elbow on the arm chair with his hand cupping his cheek. Bored.

A new email popped up. It read, 'Molly X'. Like the girl promised, she emailed him.

He hoped she didn't leave him a short message. It will drive him crazy.

When he opened it and clicked on the file, numerous of windows popped up on the computer screen.

His brown eyes widened.

All of them were different pictures of Molly striking a pose either in lewd underwear or naked.

"Lee! Did I leave my robe in your study room?!" He could hear her steps paddle.

As quickly as he can, he shifted the mouse to the x button to close every single window. His throat clenched, preventing from saying anything. He kept clicking each window.

It had to be about fifty pictures or more. When did she had the time to do this?

Lee panicked. Carley steps coming closer and closer to his door. This was scarier than a horror movie. His love of his life witnessing one of his students approaching him like an obsessed fan girl.

The door opened.

"There it is!" She skipped to the side of the room and grabbed her robe.

When Lee thought she was going to leave, she came over to him. Oh God! He screamed in his head.

In the name of Jesus! His savior saved him. When he closed the last window on time, Carley sat on his lap.

"Baby, come shower with me." She pressed her lips on his. Lee patted her thigh, ending the kiss shortly.

"Let me get to this email and I'll join you." He winked at her. Carley inhaled deeply.

"Fine." She took off.

Lee looked back at the screen. Eye brows low and lips pressed to a thin line.

Molly: xoxo 💦

Jane swept the karate room floors. Singing an old country song with her cellphone on blast.

When she finished, a pair of arms grabbed her. The strong arms held her arms. In impulse, she rash her body. Trying to squirm out of his hold. The man grunted when she bashed her head on his chin. Suddenly her body flew up in the air. Slamming her on the hard floor knocked wind out her lungs.

Wincing in pain, she glared at the son of bitch. When she locked eyes on the person her world tumbled down.

"Why the fuck is you here!?" She glared at him. Luke held out his hand and she smacked it away. She stood up, facing him.

Luke placed his hands on his hip.

"Two little birdies stopped by saying how much you missed me." Luke said smirked.

Jane groaned. It had to be Ava and Clementine. Her pains in the ass.

"Look Luke-" Arms wrapped around her. She struggled but with his strength, she couldn't.

She intake a large breath and smiled at him. When he thought she quit, her forehead knocked against his.

The man fell back, hissing. Jane swung her leg up and slammed her heel on his chest. Pressing him flat on his back.

"Really Jane?!" He yelled.

"Yes real-" He yanked her leg, positioning her on top of him.

She jabbed his face.

"Ow! JANE! STOP ATTACKING ME!" He blocked his face. Jane kept throwing fast hard punches.

"I told you to leave me alone! You! Clingy! Ass! Hole!" She grinded her teeth. Luke chuckled.

"It hurts. Stop!-Ow!" She fisted his gut. He curled to the side. Squeezing his eyes tight from the blow.

"I told you to fine another woman to play house with. Why do you have to torture yourself? Shit head." She huffed and puffed. Slowly sinking close to his body.

Luke ignored his stomach when he felt wet droplets hit his cheek. He opened his eyes to see her crying on top of him. Her arms dropped to her side and shoulders trembling as she sniffed up some of her dignity.

"I'm your only shit head to be with. I want to be with you. I can't stop loving you, Jane. I care about you so much. We don't need a baby to make a family. We can make one together. Just us two. If I get bored of you, just knock some senses in me to remember how much I fancy you." He held her wrist, moving her hand off her face. Jane sniffled. This man is crazy. She thought. And stubborn. Stupid. Impatient. And very handsome. And charming. And... Stupidly in love with her.

She laughed.

"Oh Luke." She cupped his swollen cheek.

Jesus watched the two kissed. He made sure to snap a photo of them and send it to Clem and Ava.

.

.

"Luke and Jane back together!" Clem grinned. She jumped in bed with Ava.

"Those two always does this. They split for a couple of months and come back together. Same ol'shit." Ava stared at the picture of Jane kissing Luke.

"Word... was I like that with Ga-"

"Do. Not. Say his name." Ava said sternly. Clem scooted closer to Ava.

"Ava... what happened at the party? You never told me." Ava folded her pillow underneath her. She glided her fingers over her phone screen. Dazing off.

Clem nudged Ava.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Ava... tell me." She petted Ava's buzz cut. Ava sat up as she hugged her pillow tightly in her arms.

"Gabe and Sophie fucked." Clem jolted up on a sitting position.

"You're shitting me!? No way he-" Ava stopped her. She shook her head. She wished she never witness that moment, but it was a sign telling her to leave Sophie for good.

"Clem. I heard them. I heard everything. If you don't believe me, ask him yourself." She started tearing up.

Clem moved closer to scan any lies on Ava's face. But this is Ava. She never lies to her. She dried her best friend's cheeks with her hand.

"Gabriel...?" Clem scoffed. They just broke up like two weeks and some days ago. How could he betray Ava like that? And fuck someone right after a breakup? Is this normal for guys?

"Yeah. Gabriel. I stayed by his side after you broke up with him. I told him it's possible that things will go back to before. And he...fucks Sophie. And no doubt she been fucking many dudes behind my back! Her vagina is-" TMI! Clem stopped Ava before she hears things she can't unhear.

"Woah! Woah! Okay. I don't need to know all that! But why Gabe?!" Ava shrugged her shoulders with her head sticking out.

"I would like to know too." Ava sighed. She crawled on her bed and reached for her light switch. The lights turned off and the girls bundled under the covers.

"I don't know how I feel about him now. Like...I liked him as a friend. I have no luck dating him and now this..." Clem stared at the ceiling. Ava turned to the side, laying her head on her arm.

"I'm sorry. Sorry for pressuring you and Gabe." She whispered.

"Its fine. I can't let it bother me. Gotta keep moving...forward." She groaned when she lifted her left leg.

Ava smiled at Clem as she turned her head away and let sleep take over her. Glad that her best friend is here comforting her. Ava really needed her and thankful to have a friend like Clem.

"Yeah. Keep moving forward." She shut her eyes. Drifting to dream land.
