As if going through the trouble of walking through the two crowds wasn't enough of attention, students didn't fail to stop and watch them wherever they went.
"I feel like I have become a celebrity overnight…," The speed at which someone knocked into Amos not only startled her but made her clutch his collar for dear life.
"Are you alright did you get hurt in any way?" The lady's familiar voice made Joanna glance behind.
Her mouth hung open as she stared at the lady who was examining her body for signs of injuries.
Audrey's once worried expression turned murderous when she got a glimpse of the injuries on Joanna's hands and legs.
The bruise on her face made Audrey clench her fist.
"I swear ripping that piece of garbage into tiny pieces wouldn't be enough to pay back for what he did to you," Audrey growled with gritted teeth.
Amos gently dropped Joanna to her feet following her signal. "Although the injuries hurt a bit, I am fine…,"
"Just look at the bruises on your face and the deep cuts on your legs and hands," Audrey said with a pained look. She raised her hand and gently wiped the blood off Joanna's broken lips.
"In fact why am I wasting time here talking to you when I should be ripping that son of a gun into pieces," Audrey stated as she made to leave but Joanna stretched her hand and pulled her back.
"That's not necessary because he has already avenged me…,"
"He is still alive and well so how could that be considered as avenging you huh?" Audrey said as she shot the quiet Amos a murderous glare.
"I agree with you on that," Amos replied. "I have already arranged for him to be taken care of so you don't have to worry…,"
"And why would I worry?" Audrey snapped. "Also, I don't need you or anyone to avenge her. As long as I am here now, the one who bullied my best friend will not go scot-free. Not even you," Audrey said, her fierce glares centred on Amos.
"You are…," Audrey held Joanna's hand and yanked her away from Amos' side.
"Let's talk somewhere else without him around. I just hate the sight of him," Audrey scowled. She tried to drag Joanna along with her but Amos got hold of Joanna's left hand and pulled her back.
Because Audrey's clutch was firm on Joanna, he couldn't fulfil his wish of having her by his side again.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Audrey snapped, her deadly glares directed at his face.
"And what on Earth do you think you are doing to an injured person," He sneered without backing down.
Joanna standing in the middle of the chaos watched as the two people she loved so much fought over her.
"I am not against you talking to her since I am aware that you ladies must have a lot of catching up to do but please be a little considerate and have her injuries treated first…,"
"And who says I am not considerate huh?" Audrey demanded sternly. She let go of Joanna's hand and advanced to where Amos stood.
Seeing them stand so close while looking at each other eyeball to eyeball, Joanna knew that things would escalate between the two if she did not do something about them.
"I will…,"
"Will you both please stop fighting huh?" Joanna yelled as she freed herself from his grip.
"I know I am the cause of why our relationship dwindled to this stage so please stop making me feel even more guilty for this ok?" Joanna pleaded, seeing that none of them pulled away from each other even after she talked.
"Since none of you wants to listen to me then fine," Joanna shouted with her hands raised a bit above her shoulders.
"I am fine with that but I am out of here. I don't care if I get beaten to death by those I offended after I get out of here but all I know is that I won't be a party to your fight," Joanna washed her hands off them and turned to walk away.
They reached out their hand and grabbed each of her hands at the same time, "And where do you think you are going?" They chorused.
Joanna couldn't resist smiling when she noticed that their actions and words were in harmony.
As she turns to look at them she sheds her smile and puts on a stern look.
"See, you both love me so much and don't want to see any harm comes to me so why won't you just let…,"
"Who says I love you?" Audrey scoffs and lets go of Joanna's hand in a flash.
Her reaction caught Joanna unawares. She hasn't even finished feeling grateful that the brutality she suffered in the man's hand didn't go to waste but instead made her reconcile with her best friend but this had to happen.
"Although I am still mad at you, I hate seeing anyone bullies you. Only I have the right to bully you, that is a fact everyone should know," Audrey asserted and turned to leave.
Joanna reached out her hand and grasped Audrey's right hand. "Don't tell me you are leaving just like that?" Joanna asked with a fallen expression.
The glints in her eyes were long gone.
Instead of answering her question, Audrey diverted her gaze to the guy standing beside Joanna.
"The task of taking care of that scum who did this to you is mine. Although I hate to say this, I will leave him to take care of you," Audrey clenched her fist as she talked.
Even though it had come to this she still chose to sacrifice what she wanted to pave the way for her friend and the man she loves.
"I will try to join you wherever you are after I am done," Audrey forced a smile as she strokes Joanna's hand lovingly.
She tried to leave again but Joanna still refused to let go.
