HOLLY J's pov

It's already past six and Fiona is still not home. I kept calling her cell but she's not picking up. I'm really worried and she doesn't even bother to call back. How could she do this to me again?

I went to the kitchen to get water when the phone rang. Finally she called! I thought as I walk fast to get the phone.

"Fi, where are-"I said at once but I was surprised when I heard a male voice.

"Hello, Holly J? It's me Eli." he said

"Eli? Fi's not home." I replied.

"I know, I saw her at the park a while ago. She won't be home for dinner. She needs to talk to someone." he explained.

Eli doesn't have to tell me who's that someone. I already knew its Imogen.

"Couldn't she manage to give me a call?" he knew I was hurt. My voice is evident on how I felt.

"It was my idea actually. Sorry Holly J." he apologized.

I sighed. "Okay Eli, thank you for informing me."

"Bye." then I heard the click sound.

I'm so disappointed and hurt right now. Just the thought of Fi and Imogen being together made me feel so anxious. What if they decided to get back together? What will I do? I can't manage to live my life without Fi. She's all I've got.

I reached for my phone and dialed Fi's number. And it's still unavailable. I rest my back on the couch and close my eyes. This had been a very stressful day for me.

Seeing Holly J asleep on the couch made me feel guilty. She looks so tired and hurt. Even though her eyes were closed, It's obvious that she cried. Poor Holly J, she doesn't deserve to be treated this way, especially not from me. Of all people, I should be the one who's protecting and making her happy. After all that she had done for me, how could I treat her like this?

I wanted to touch her lovely face but I was scared I would wake her up. I want her to sleep. It's the least that I can do right now for her.

I sighed then went to my room to get a blanket. When I came back she was already awake. She's sitting there quietly, looking at me. I offered her the blanket but she stood up and hugged me tight. I can hear her soft sobs and I can feel the movement of her shoulders.

I feel guilty in that instant. She didn't say a word but I know how much hurt she was. Then I remembered she told me she'll tell her parents about us today. How could I forget that? All day I was thinking about Imogen and there she was fighting the battle with her parents alone. I want to make it up to her. I need to make it up to her.

"I'm sorry." that's all I could manage to say.

She raised up her head to me and looked into my eyes. I kissed her cheeks then her lips. She kissed me back gently.

We immediately stopped when the phone rang. I let her go to get the phone.

"Hello?" I said. Holly j is now sitting on the couch wiping the tears.

"Fifi, its me Decs." the person on the other line said.

"Hi, Decs, Is everything okay?" I asked curiously. Decs doesn't call me for nothing. He's too busy just to chat.

"I want to talk to Holly j, is she there?" always straight to the point, that's my brother.

"Just a sec." I covered the mouth piece. "Babe, Decs wants to talk to you." I said offering her to take the phone.

She hesitated at first but eventually gets up and took it.

"Thanks." then she kissed me on the cheek.

I just nod then went straight to my room. I want to give them privacy. Decs maybe found out HJ dropped out on their university. He's still looking out for her. Obviously, he still have feelings for her.

I let myself fell on my bed and stare on the ceiling. Decs will surely freak out.

"Decs?" I'm not in the mood to talk to him. My mind is full of thoughts about Fi. When she went inside the room I wanted to go after her. I want to sleep beside her and feel her warmth. Forget the heartaches this day had brought to us.

"What were you thinking?" he said in a very hard tone.

"I had to go back home Decs. Yale is not for me." I explained to him.

"Is there anything wrong? I called at your house and your mom was pretty upset."

"Nothing's wrong, everything's okay. Tomorrow I'll go to Toronto U to arrange my transfer then its back to normal." I told him while trying to hide the irritation on my voice.

"Why so sudden?" Í heard him sigh.

He is too smart to just let it slide. He won't stop until he knows the reason why I went back here. But I'm not yet ready to tell him about me and Fi.

"I'm in love Decs and leaving that person behind at Degrassi pains me. Long distance relationship just won't work for us so I had to move back home. That's all you have to know." I said wishing he would stop asking. I don't want to lie to him.

"Are you sure he's worth all the sacrifices you've made?" he asked.

"Yes, very." I said firmly. "Everything made sense since I loved that person. Please, just be happy for me, for us." I begged him. Even though our relationship before didn't worked out, we made a promise to look out for each other until the right one comes along.

"Well, I wish your happiness HJ. You know where to find me when you need me." he said sweetly.

"Ditto. Bye, Decs."

"Bye, Holly J. Kiss Fifi goodnight for me."

"I will." then I pressed the end button.

I placed the phone on its stand and went straight to Fi's room. She's already asleep. I removed my robe and laid down facing her. For a moment I could not believe she's here with me. Back at Yale, I always dreamt about her. Her soft skin and her beautiful face. One night I even dreamt that she and I are making out. I smiled on that thought. Who could have thought that the Fiona Coyne, which every guy fantasizes is now my girlfriend. Again, that thought made me smile. Fiona is my girlfriend. She's mine. My very own pearl.
