High school musical and love

Chapter 42: The suitors



"How dare you post this video? Did you know you have ruined me and sent me to jail? My companies will be locked down, and I will never forgive you for this, you bastard child," Mr Mark said. A call came in; it was from his manager. He picked it up and left Liz's room. She sat on the bed and cried out. Angela also rushed to her.

"Look at you, you bastard child! You ruined your father's reputation because of a man. I wish you didn't exist," she said and walked out. Liz cried. 

Her father had never called her a bastard; this was the first time he called her that. She remembered when her father always called her sweet names, and now he saw her as a bastard. The next day at court, Jay won the case and Mr. Mark was arrested. And the girl who was bribed was also arrested, but later Mr. William dropped the case and Mr. Mark was set free along with the girl. He is not a monster like Mr. Mark. Still, Jay didn't pick up Liz's call; he promised his father not to have anything to do with Liz again, even though he still loved her. Jay then traveled out for some time. Liz became sad; she felt she had no happiness. Her father didn't give her time anymore; he was always mad at her because he had lost so many customers and fans all because of his foolish lover's daughter. Liz always stayed in her room, and Bianca and Herin were the only people who made her happy. Angela made sure to teach Mark against his daughter, and he was mad at her already, planning a wedding for her suitors. Liz cried, begging her father not to allow her to get married to the guy, but her father didn't listen. She explained it to Bianca and Herin.

One day, Herin and his parents visited Mr. Mark's mansion. He told him that he wanted to marry to Liz. Liz was mad at him for using the opportunity to marry her after their engagement. Herin promised Liz he wouldn't come closer to her and explained that he used the engagement to stop her father from getting her married to a stranger.

The holiday was over, and they returned to school. Everyone knew Herin and Liz were engaged by rumors, and you know rumors spread more than diseases.

At Liz's room in the school hostel, Lisa resumed. She packed her bags and saw Liz on the bed and rushed to hug her. "Oh, congratulations Liz, my best roommate! Finally, Jay will belong to me when you now belong to someone else," Lisa said and walked back to her bed. She sat down and took selfies. Liz stood up and went to Bianca's room. 

"What's going on?" Bianca asked when she saw her mood. 

"Jay will hate me. First, my father tried to ruin his reputation, and now I'm engaged. I know he will have heard about it," she said and sat on Bianca's bed. 

"I saw it on social media; Jay is back in the country," Bianca said. 

"I can't even face him, and I miss him," Liz said and wiped her tears. Bianca didn't like seeing her in a bad mood. 

"I have a surprise for you," Bianca said while trying to put a smile on her face. 

"I'm not in the mood for surprises," Liz said, but Bianca didn't mind her and forced her to go to a club with her. Even Herin was there with them. Liz drank until she couldn't control herself again and began to say rubbish and her pains. 

"My dad hates me so much',he only cares about himself more than me. I wish my mom was still here. I would hold her arms and sleep with her, and I know she wouldn't force me to marry someone I didn't love. I wish I could marry Jay instead, but Jay also hates me because of my stubbornness. Now I have lost him," she said and started hitting her chest. 

"I'm in pain. I wish I could die and join my mom, like Angela wishes. She said she prays I should not exist; if I could tell God to delete me, I would do it because it hurts more than to be in this world where most people hurt my feelings," she said and cried. Herin cleaned her tears with a white handkerchief. Herin carried Liz home when she was drunk and fell asleep. He was hurt by her words, but he promised Liz not to come closer to her even though he loved her but couldn't show it, and kept it to himself and support her.

 Next day, Liz woke up with a headache. When she heard her roommate's noise, she was scared until she came out of the bathroom and said, "Jay is back to school," Lisa said while dancing terribly. Liz was excited at first, but she later remembered how her father accused him, and she felt sad. "Okay," Liz replied and walked to the bathroom. "Jay is back," she was talking to herself. She quickly took her bath and changed into another dress. She didn't wait for Bianca and attended the call alone. She was the first person in the lecture room; later, students began arriving. Also, Jay attended the class. Liz was excited,but Jay pretended not to see her and sat on a chair far from Liz. Lisa joined the class and sat beside Jay, while Herin joined the class and sat beside Liz. After the class, the students were Liz ran after Jay and Lisa, who were going together. She shouted his name, but Jay didn't answer and pretended not to hear. Liz ran after them and held his hand. "Jay, we need to talk," Liz said while breathing fast. "Why did you want to see him?" Lisa asked with frustration. "I'm not talking to you, Lisa," she replied

"Jay, you need to listen to me," Liz begged for his attention. "I don't need to listen to you, Liz. You now belong to someone else, and we don't need to discuss anything. I know it was just an excuse." Jay replied, looking at her in disgust.

"Jay, just try and listen to me," Liz said, trying to explain, but he didn't-allow to finish before cutting in. 

"We have nothing to say, Liz. Please leave me alone for God's sake! I almost ruined everything because of you, and you didn't even wait for me. You went ahead and married another man. That means you and your father planned from the beginning just to hunt me down. You said you were in love with me. I hate the moment we were together," Jay filled with jealousy "and you call this love? You promised not to leave me and to face everything together. Now, because you thought I wouldn't win, you went ahead and married another man. I'm very disappointed," he said angrily and decided to leave. 

"Jay, just listen to me," Liz tried to hold him back, but he waved her hand away. 

"Don't touch me again and leave me. I don't need you anymore," he said and left with Lisa. Tears rolled down Liz's cheeks; she didn't know what to do. 

"How will I explain to him that it was a fake engagement?" Liz was speechless and walked down to the toilet like a walking dead woman. She entered the female bathroom; it was difficult for her to breathe. She sat on the toilet closest, trying to calm herself, and fell asleep. 

She woke up at midnight and opened the toilet door everywhere is dark even the main door was locked. She called for help, but no one heard her and searched for her phone, then remembered she had forgotten it in the lecture room. Bianca and herin, along with some security, were looking for her.

At Liz's room, Lisa was making a video call with Jay. He noticed Liz was not in the room and asked about her. "She has not returned home since we left class, and I heard her friend discussing with the security that Liz is not to be found." Jay didn't listen to Lisa's words before he hung up and went out to search for her. Lisa was angry when Jay didn't pick up her call again. Jay called Liz's contact because she was not picking up the phone. Herin searched everywhere for her, but she was not found until the next morning when the cleaner came to clean the toilet. She noticed someone lying down and screamed. The security guard, who was nearby, hurried to her side, and they saw Liz lying down, weak and fainted. She was rushed to the school hospital, and when Bianca and Herin heard the news, they rushed to the hospital. By then, Liz was sleeping after treatment. Jay was worried he was trying to get information through Lisa, and she told him that she was taken to hospital by the security this morning jay was worried also glad that she was found and safe but he wished to see her and he couldn't go because he promised his father not to have anything to do with Liz again, especially she is engaged.
