My Crazy Childhood Friend’s Love Obsession

Nash chose a different path for his youth in this lifetime, allowing himself to fall into decadence. However, I couldn't afford that luxury; I had to strive upward to fulfill my dreams.

I glanced around, my eyes gradually adjusting to the prolonged darkness, allowing me to faintly discern the contours of the equipment room. This room had only two exits- one was the door behind me, the other, a narrow window.

As darkness descended, I couldn't afford to delay any longer. I fumbled around and found a baseball bat, using it to strike the glass window. The shattering sound was piercing, but at this hour, there was no one

I carefully climbed up through the window frame, feeling a bit dizzy as I went. The equipment room was on the second floor, and below the window, there was nothing but a concrete floor- no grass in sight.

Sitting on the windowsill, I felt on the verge of tears. If there had been a grassy area below, I might have risked jumping. I tried shouting several times, but there was no one around. At that moment, I couldn't he What troubled me more was why Nash, who had grown up with me since

childhood, was so ruthless every time he dealt with me.

If he were a stranger, I wouldn't be so upset. However, he used to be so kind to me, the boy who had once held me in his arms and vowed to take care of me

for a lifetime, now treated me more cruelly than anyone else.

it all because of his crush on someone else? But I hadn't done anything to harm her.

I climbed down from the window, feeling around in the equipment room to fi With everything set up, I cautiously climbed back up to the window. Summoning my courage, I closed my eyes and jumped. However, I still couldn't make it to the competition the next day. My luck

was simply terrible. The rope was old and couldn't bear my weight, breaking the moment I jumped. I fell to the ground, breaking my leg and passing out instantly.

The next morning, a teacher who had arrived early found me, and I was rushed to the hospital. My homeroom teacher visited me at the hospital, shaking her head in regret. "Your grades were good, and the competition wasn't that difficult.

"Don't be too upset. Focus on preparing for SAT. With your grades, even without the competition, you can still get into a good university."

I wasn't consoled. I stared blankly at the ceiling; my eyes lifeless. My parents were heartbroken, wiping

away tears.

Nash was brought to my bedside by his parents to apologize. Even Mrs. Xander, who had always been gentle and wise, looked exhausted and aged by a dozen years.noveldrama

"It's my fault, Wendy." She held my hand, tears streaming down her face. "If I hadn't asked you to talk to him, maybe you wouldn't have suffered this unwarranted calamity.' Nash, seeing my leg suspended, was also flustered and stuttered for a while.

"Wendy, I never expected it to turn out like this.

"Yvonne said she just wanted to teach you a lesson and planned to release you early the next morning so you wouldn't miss your exam."

I found it hard to believe his explanation, suspecting that he was merely providing in front of both sets of parents.

Perhaps the real seventeen-year-

old Nash would be flustered and stutter, but the Nash from my previous life wouldn't.

I didn't expose him.

I shifted my dry eyes and fixed them on Nash. So, you've known all along that Wendy had me locked up?"

Nash couldn't meet my gaze and silently nodded.

I let out a chuckle. "Because on that day when I came to talk to you, Wendy got upset and asked you to get back at me, didn't she?"

Nash hesitated for a long while but eventually nodded.

y mom couldn't contain her anger and scolded him, pointing her finger at him. "Nash, search your

like my own son and genuinely cared for you. How could anything that girl said? If she really intended to release Wendy the next morning, why was she found only when the teachers arrived for work?

My mom's voice choked with tears.

Nash remained silent for a long time and apologized hoarsely. "I'm sorry, Wendy, but I really... didn't mean to hurt you.

I suddenly felt exhausted. I didn't want to continue this act with Nash. I didn't want to see him anymore -

not because I didn't feel any resentment, but because I was at a critical juncture in changing my fate. I didn't have time to hate him. Besides, I always believed that he would regret getting involved with Yvonne i
