Thanks. But since I can't really concentrate...

Here's the next update...

[EnigmaofSorrow]

Alex looked around and caught sight of the box of a pregnancy test kit. He scanned the surrounding area for the actual kit but could not see it. He wondered how Grace could have taken the test considering she had to pee on it, and unless she went home first, peed on it, the took the whole kit including the box out, she probably had to pee outdoors.

A: Don't do anything stupid. I'm coming to get you.

G: STAY AWAY! DON'T COME CLOSER!

A: Don't be stupid.

Alex inched closer and closer to the ledge. He stood next to her and peered over the top, and immediately reeled back.

A: Woah. We're really high up.

G: Go away.

A: You asked me to come.

G: I didn't expect you to.

A: Well too late. I'm here. Now get off the ledge.

G: No.

A: Why are you up there?

Grace looked at him as though he was stupid.

G: I'm going to jump.

A: You are? Why?

G: Ben... he... dumped me.

A: Why?

G: Because I'm pregnant.

A: Are you?

G: I think so.

A: What do you mean you think so?

G: No pee.

A: So where's the test kit?

Grace removed the thermometer looking device from her pocket. Alex took it.

A: You haven't used it.

G: No pee!

Alex took out his water bottle.

A: Here you go. Finish it all. I'm not thirsty.

Grace stared daggers at him.

A: Don't you want to know if you're pregnant? You need to pee right? Here's some water.

G: Are you making fun of me?

A: Maybe.

G: You're a bastard.

A: Maybe.

G: I'm really going to jump.

A: Oh by all means, go ahead. But I would suggest doing it after you pee on the stick. Don't die in vain without knowing if you're really pregnant or not. And if you wanna jump, wearing red might be a better choice, at least you can come back as a vengeful spirit.

Grace's tears started flowing non-stop. Alex wondered where he had dug out all that crap from, but he realised that perhaps, he was definitely not suited to be a counsellor or psychiatrist. He would probably have the highest failure rate if that was his chosen career path.

A: Well? You want me to get some red clothes for you? And you still haven't peed yet.

He peered down and saw that the SCDF had arrived and set up the inflatable thing.

A: Don't waste my time. Exams are over and I wanna celebrate.

Grace gave him one last cold stare before looking over the ledge again.

G: Alex, you're gonna regret this all your life.

[BMW69]

Regret because she's going to haunt you for life now that she didn't jump. Hehehehe

Exams are.. A good past time while waiting for ur thread to be updated!

Ah-di, Putin, I actually,think Grace is gonna make Alex the scapegoat in Ben's place...hahaha...mental and emotional torture..not sure if there will be physical torture tho...hm...

[EnigmaofSorrow]

Alex extended his hand.

A: Come on. You've been up there long enough.

Grace wiped her tears.

G: What if I'm really pregnant?

A: There's always a solution for every problem.

G: I don't think Ben will take responsibility.

A: I believe in something called karma.

G: Is this my karma then?

A: Perhaps. It all depends on how you perceive whatever you've done. Whether it was wrong or right. I don't judge. The only person who can and should judge our actions is ourselves.

G: Alex, I'm really sorry for everything.

A: Save your apologies. And get off the fucking ledge.

By now the paramedics and a couple of cops had reached them and Alex motioned for them to stay back. He was rather confident of defusing the situation without casualties.

He extended his hand. Grace took it and he immediately grabbed her, effectively pulling her over the ledge.

She collapsed onto him from sheer exhaustion and so did he. As he cradled her in his arms and stroked her hair, he tried comforting her the best he could.

A: Everything will be alright.

Grace sobbed uncontrollably.

The paramedics draped a blanket over her as Alex helped her up and onto the stretcher. She did not let go of his hand, forcing him to follow her down and eventually into the ambulance.

G: Promise you'll be here for me.

A: I can't.

G: I know you no longer love me after all I've done to you. But you're the only one I've ever wanted.

Alex felt the rage seething inside him but he kept it down, conscious of what might happen if he spoke his mind. He stroked her hair.

A: What's done cannot be undone.

G: Give me a chance to make things right. Please. I'm begging you.

A: I-

G: For old times sake. Please.

Alex very much wanted to forcibly remove her hand from his. But her current mental state was questionable. He glanced around and saw Jane. She had an expressionless look on her face.

G: Say you'll take care of me. I've got no one else.

Paramedic: Can you just man up and take some responsibility?

Alex wanted to punch the guy for interfering without knowing the whole story. He looked at Jane again. She shook her head slowly, as if trying to tell him something. He looked at Grace. She was obviously playing the emotional card. Was he heartless enough to pay her back in her own coin? After all, he had the hottest babe in school waiting for him. Even saving herself just for him. And yet this was his first love, pleading with him, begging him to take her back. What was the right thing that he should do?

A: Let's get you to the hospital.

He looked at Jane again as the ambulance doors closed. He swore he saw her hurriedly wiping off a tear with the back of her hand. He looked down at Grace.

A: I'll take care of you.

Grace smiled and closed her eyes. Alex leaned back as she released his hand while the paramedics checked her vitals.

He closed his eyes.

It had been a tough day. Mentally and physically draining. Part of him wanted to beat the shit out of Ben for what he did, but he was slowly learning that violence hardly solved anything.

But what would happen to Jane?

She really liked him. And he liked her too. But he could not bring himself to be the one that held her back, the one who dragged her down. She was destined for much greater things than he was.

They say love is blind, love knows no boundaries, love will find a way.

Unfortunately for Alex, he was more pragmatic than he was smart.

Maybe one day he would be kicking himself in the ass for his poor decision making skills.

Thankfully, today was not the day.

Hot girl vs the girl who cheated on you. Lol go figure, Alex

[EnigmaofSorrow]

The new year came and went.

Grace, thankfully, was not pregnant, but was issued with a stern warning from the police for her attempted suicide. She was also referred to the Institute of Mental Health to cope with her numerous issues.

As promised, Alex did take care of her. Everyday of his holidays was spent with her, talking to her, cooking for her and generally just trying to cheer her up.

His contact with Jane was minimized. Jane did not like it but what choice did she have?

Alex's first 3 months was spend in a Junior College that his prelim results could get him into, whereas Jane entered the Junior College of her choice, one of the top 5 in the country.

Alex didn't really do much studying, preferring to concentrate on sports, and spending time with Grace.

Surprisingly, his O Level results were a far cry from his prelims. Perhaps studying with Jane really helped him. Eventually, he applied for the same Junior College as Jane, for the Arts stream. He did not let her know this, and neither did she ask. He meant to surprise her.

The first day in school, he entered the school gates bright and early. The various CCAs had already set up their booths in order to attract the new intake of students. As expected, a crowd of girls had already gathered around Alex, eager to get to know him, and perhaps con him into joining their CCAs.

But he only had one CCA in mind. Track and field. And that was where he headed to.

The student council booth was next to the track and field booth, but Alex paid no attention to them despite the large crowd that had gathered there as well.

He approached the girl manning the track and field booth.

A: Hi! Where do I sign up?

She passed him a couple of forms and a pen.

Even though she was sitting down, he could tell she was rather tall judging by her extremely long legs that ended in hot pink FBTs. He thought maybe her vest was a little too tight as her chest, at least a C cup, was threatening to spill out, despite being protected by a sports bra.

Girl: Hey, didn't I see you at the Swift Meet last month? You were running for XXJC.

A: Yeah. That was me.

Girl: Oh. Got really good results I see. I'm Brenda.

She stood up and extended her hand. She really was damn tall. Alex took it and shook it firmly, partly amazed at how smooth her hand was.

A: Alex.

B: Well Alex, glad to know you're with us now. Training starts today if you can make it.

A: What? It's the first day of school. I need to get settled.

B: Well, it would be good for you to start early. Nationals are in August. And I'll need to introduce you to the rest of the team.

A: I see. What's your event anyway?

B: Sprints and hurdles.

A: Not long or high jump?

B: No, why?

A: Oh I was just admiring your long legs. Should be quite good for jumping.

Brenda felt herself blush.

B: Well, I sprained my wrist during a bad landing. So I don't jump anymore.

A: Ah, that's a waste.

B: Are you flirting with me?

A: Well, that depends on what you define as flirting.

He finished filling up the form and passed it back to her, flashing a megawatt smile.

A: What time does training start today?

B: 4pm at the track.

A: See you there.

Brenda sat back down. Her heart was racing. She had never felt like this before. Not even with her boyfriend. Alex exhuded a charm that was beyond belief. She glanced at the application form under the contact details section and to her dismay, he did not have a mobile phone.

She could not wait to see him on the track. Those broad shoulders, toned arms and chest.

She started fantasizing about him shirtless, then pantsless, sprinting in just tights.

A warmth flushed across her entire body and she felt herself getting a little moist down below.

What the hell had Alex done to her?

What the hell has Alex done to all of us?
