Chapter 36

Micah POV

On getting home, I discovered that they hosted a party for me... A full blown party with my former classmates and everything. That included Jake Stanton who also happened to be my girlfriend ex. I am so not thrilled by this and with the way he is eye raping my girl. A fight is inevitable... Okay, maybe he is just looking at her but I see it as eye rape. Any boy who looks in Alyssa direction without my approval had a date with my fist. Oh God, five minutes into the relationship and I am acting like a cave man. If Alyssa have an inkling of these thoughts that are in my head, she will kick me to the sun and back.

“Are you okay?” Alyssa asks me looking at me in concern...

“Yes, why.” I asked snapping my mind back to the present.

“Well, you were staring into space and looking at the empty space before you like it has wronged you and you want to remove it from existence totally. Like you could. "

I shrugged “anything is possible.”

“Having destructive powers isn't, unless you suddenly woke up from coma with extra powers.” Alyssa said in an unsure voice that made me grin. “Not possible. Micah you might be super in everything but you can't be that super because it doesn't exist. "

Choosing to play with her a little bit, I cocked my eyebrow as I asked her in a voice full of confidence. “Are you sure.”

“impossible. " she breathed.

“You are right, it is. I was just messing with you. “I told her with a laugh and she punched me for it.

“You ass. “She cursed me.

“You love this ass.” I replied her as I moved towards my mother who waved me over while Alyssa moved to where her father stood standing sad. I am sure that my father told him what was going on between Alyssa and me and he knew that we have something serious going on not like what Alyssa had with her exes.

“son, this is my friends, Tracy, Emily and Siobhan. " my mother introduce me to three women I had never seen before and believe me when I say that I take pride in knowing what is going on in the lives of my loved ones, when did my mother who take a long time to admit that someone is her friend, get three new friends for.

" good day ma’am’s. " I greeted as they all smiled at me and nodded then I started to look at the similarities between the women, not their hair, eyes, nose kind of similarities but their physical states. They all had eye bags under their eyes although they tried to use make up to cover them and their eyes were sad and they look as if their worlds will soon come to an end. I already arrived at my answer before my mother explained further.

“I met them in FAFSCP. “My mother announced.

“What is that?” I asked even though I was already trying to connect the words together in my brain. I miss using my brain to think and not getting those bloody migraines in return.

“Families And Friends Supporters Of Cancer Patients.” Emily said then gave me a sad smile. “My baby is just seven, she has only three more months to live. “She choked on the last words and my mother started to console her.

“My son is fifteen, he just discovered he has cancer and he is doing everything possible to maintain his health before surgery.” Siobhan said softly.

“My son is ten, he just came out of a relapse. He has been relapsing a lot since chemo. “Tracy said.

“I am so sorry.” I said feeling humbled that they could bring their selves to leave their children sides to celebrate with me on my recovery.

“It is okay. We needed to see you, an example that people can actually fight this sickness and come out healthy. You revived our waning determination not to give up. Thank you. “Emily said as she cleans her tears.

“I am glad I could be of help?” I said as if it was a question. I don't do comforting people. The only person I can comfort without it weirding me out is my girlfriend. God, I will never get tired of thinking about that, she is my girlfriend, mine and mine alone.

“Go, enjoy your party. Don’t let us keep you waiting. “Tracy said and I nodded as I turned and left. I actually got it easy. I cannot believe I survived that, I can just imagine what must be going through those women heads. The longing that their child will one day be as fine as I am now. I scanned the room and saw Alyssa talking to her father then moved towards her, I need to have a talk with Mr. Watson maybe with Alyssa present he wouldn't chew me out but then again, Alyssa is his princess so no guarantee.

“Hey Micah.” Jake said as he stopped me.

“Yes, "I sighed. I am not so sure I want to deal with him now but I have to.

“How are you man? I never knew, I hope you are okay now. "

"I am fine, I never wanted anybody to know and I have never been better.” I replied him questions accordingly.

“Hey, I wanted to ask you about Alyssa. I never knew what was going on and she must have been stressed out and I may have seemed like a jerk but I didn't know. Now that you are fine can you put in a good word for me? “Jake asks and I froze. Did he just ask me to put in a good word with my girlfriend that some other guy want to woo her?

Before I knew it, my fist flew out and collided with his nose. “You didn't seem like a jerk. You are a jerk. You were a jerk for cheating on her, you were a jerk for whatever reason you just told me and you are and forever will be a jerk for what you just asked me to do. At my return party too. You must have a lot of nerve. “I said to him at my normal pitch but everyone still heard it because when I punched him, someone turned off the music.

“Micah, what is wrong.” Alyssa asks coming to my side and not paying Jake any attention at all.

“He wants me to put in a good word for him with you” I told her and she smiled.

“He doesn't know we are dating. They all don't know we are dating. "

I wrapped my hands around her as I smiled. “Well, let's correct that shall we.” I asked her as I pulled her to me for a deep kiss.
