"you just so beautiful and that's driving me insane"xavier whispered
And my knees went weak at those words.
Xavier started walking towards me, I don't know if it was all in imagination but he looked taller than usual, he looked too handsome to be real.
His Aura screamed perfection.
I was brought back to reality by a hand on my shoulder.
"Hey are you done checking me out" xavier said I could see the small smile threatening to come out.
"I wasn't" I said in denial.
"Alright alright"
"Now come here" xavier said engulfing me in a warm hug.
I closed my eyes melt into his embrace.
"Hey limah open your eyes" I heard xavier.
I opened my eyes and before me was redwood high, my school.
"Oh" was all I could say
"Yeah" xavier replied laughing.
"I should get going" I told xavier walking towards the school gate.
"Sure see you later baby" xavier said offering me a small.
Before I could reply to that he was already gone.
I entered the hallways and walked quickly to my locker, I checked my schedule and I had chemistry as my first class.
I took out my chemistry textbook from my bag and dumped my bag inside my locker.
I turned around only to come face to face. With the last person I was expecting to see today.
Zion occoner
"Hey" zion said offering me a small smile.
"Oh my gosh Zion"
"Were have you been, are you okay" I added.
"Yeah" he whispered.
"The last time I checked you weren't"
"You disappeared for almost two weeks zion"
"And you never returned any of my calls" I added I don't know why but I was quite hurt by Zion's behavior I thought we were friends.
"I'm sorry okay" he said looking at me with pleading eyes.
"Can we please not talk about this now"
"We have a class remember" zion added.
"Alright then but we are not done with this conversation" I said sternly.
"We talk about it after school"
"Okay" Zion said nervously
"Alright" I said giving him a worried look.
"Let's go" Zion mumbled pointing towards our class.
I started walking, Zion following behind me his steps were too slow.
"Hey common"
"Hurry up we are already late" I said
"Sorry" I heard him say increasing his steps.
Immediately we entered the class and sat down, the teacher came in.
"Phew, that was close" I said to myself.
"Good morning class" the teacher vioce boomed.
His eyes scanning the class room, his eyes landed at my sit focusing his gaze on Zion
"Oh Mr occoner"
"You are back" the teacher said to him
"See me after the class" he added.
"So class, were did we stop last time" the teacher asked flipping the pages of the book in front of him.
********
I was walking to my next class when I heard someone calling my name.
I turned around and saw rowan and sage running towards me.
"Hi" they both said at the same time.
"Hey guys"
"How have you guys been" I said smiling.
"We are good" sage responded.
"We are just really worried about Zion"
"We saw him today after two weeks of him disappearing" sage added.
"And he didn't even acknowledge our presence, when we tried talking to him" rowan said this time.
"We are really worried about him you know" rowan continued.
"I know"
"Me too I'm also really worried about him"
"I think I caused this" I said slightly.
They both gave me confuse looks
"But don't worry"
"I'm gonna fix this okay" I added giving them a reassuring smile.
"Uhmm alright see you later" rowan said in his Irish accent which I still find cute.
"Bye"
"Bye"
After school Zion texted me to meet him at his car.
I walked quickly to the packing lot, and saw zion standing by his car looking sad as ever.
Immediately he sighted me he changed his expression quickly smiling so widely his eyes could almost not be seen.
But I could see the sadness in them.
"Hey" I said to him giving him a quick hug, I didn't know why I did that.
But he really did needed that hug.
Zion was stunned by my behavior I guess he wasn't expecting that.
"Hmm hop in" he said opening the car door for me I could see the small blush creeping onto his face.
He ran quickly to the other side of the car and got it.
"Seat belt" zion said avoiding my gaze.
"Zion are you blushing" I asked in a teasing vioce.
"What no"
"Of course not" he replied shyly.
"Aww I made Zion occoner shy" I cooed
"Limah" he said groaning.
"Okay okay" I said laughing.
"Uhmm there is a cafe nearby we could talk there" Zion said this time sadness could be heard in his vioce.
"Yeah sure" I said giving his a hand a tight squeeze. Today I get to find who xavier is to Zion
"Thanks limah" he said to me looking at me with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Hey you don't need to thank me for anything okay"
"I'm here for you anytime, all you have to do is just call"
"What are friends for" I said smiling to him.
"Yeah friends" Zion said sadly
But it sounded more like a question.
"We are friends right" I asked him.
"Yeah of course, we are"
"We should go" Zion added quickly.
"Okay" I said looking out the window.
When we got to the cafe Zion asked if I wanted anything but I said no even though I was quite hungry and thirsty, eating was the last thing on my mind right now.
"So" I said to him adjusting myself properly on my sit.
"Where were you this past few weeks, everyone was worried about you" I asked him.
"I went out of the city"
"I needed to clear my head" Zion added.
"One phone call, would have made everyone one less worried you know"
"What if something has happened to you I won't have been able to forgive myself knowing I was the cause" I continued.
"Hey limah, don't say that nothing is your fault okay" Zion whispered.
"It's all my fault" Zion added his vioce sounded so low.
"I-i c-ou-ld'nt sa-ve him"he said stammering the tears in his eyes were already threatening to come out.
"It was a mistake I swear" Zion added he was already crying by now.
I didn't even know what in particular he was trying to say.
But watching him cry made me so sad. But I knew for sure and it was about him
Xavier
My xavier.
"Limah it was a mistake" Zion said crying out loud.
And this started attracting people around the cafe to stare at us.
"She is not even that beautiful, why is he crying over her" I heard a person say.
"I know right" another added.
Ughh!! hearing people whispering all sort of nonsense was really annoying.
"Hey common get up" I said pulling Zion up by his arm.
"Let's go" I added giving him a small smile.
When we got to his car, Zion asked me a question I wasn't even expecting to hear.
"How do you know about xavier" Zion asked with tearing eyes.
"I heard people talking about him in school" I said quickly
Damm that lie came faster than I expected.
"School" he asked quite confused.
"Why would they decide to talk about it now" I heard him say to himself.
"Zion" I started to call out but he cut me off quickly.
"Limah can we please do this another time"
"I'm not prepared"
"I thought I was, but I'm not"he added starting to cry again.
He looked so helpless, I immediately pulled him into a hug.
And Zion hugged me back tightly.
Whispering unreasonable things
Saying over and over again.
It was a mistake
I didn't mean to
"Zion, can I ask you a question"
He only nodded in response.
"How are you and xavier related" I asked the question I was always wanting to know about
"He was my step brother" Zion said.
I could see the regret, and sadness in his eyes.
Knowing that was enough for now.
"Hey are you okay" I asked him after he calmed down.
We were still hugging.
"Yeah" he whispered untangling himself from my hold.
"Common let me take you home" Zion said.
Before I knew it we were at my house
"Bye" I said to him getting out of his car he only nodded.
And drove off too quickly
I walked inside my house shutting the door behind me.
"Xavier" I called out
"In the kitchen" xavier shouted.
Before I could go to the kitchen xavier was already in front of me.
"Hey baby" he said pinching my cheeks.
"Hey stop it" I said blushing.
"How did you get home" xavier asked.
"The bus" I replied.
Lying again for the second time today.
I was interrupted from my thoughts by a knocking sound coming from the door.
"Go check who is there" I said to xavier.
"Seriously limah won't that be weird"
"The person would probably creep out"
"When he sees the door opened itself with no one standing there" xavier added.
"Oh you right" I replied walking to the door.
I opened the only to come face to face with Zion occoner
"Hey limah you forget your this "Zion said giving me my phone.
"Who is there" I heard xavier say walking towards me.
Oh my gosh this can't be happening I thought to myself.
Oh God no
"Xavier" I heard zion say with a horrified expression on his face.
I turned to look at xavier the expression on his face was also horrific
"How" I heard both of them say at the same time.
