6 YEARS LATER The soothing wind of the autumn brushed past the busy streets. Every moving creature craves to return to the comfort of its house. Except for one person, who sat with his heart warmed up for an arrival he awaited. His eyes wandered from place to place trying to take in every bit of the place, to be able to put it down his memory lane as a remarkable day. A day to remember on days of the missing comfort. Impatience was all he felt, cursing at the time for moving so slow. Showing his full anger towards the roads which delayed the presence of the one he begged to meet. It's been six years. No contact. Both are busy in their own lives trying not to care about each other's lives. When one might have succeeded in the race but the other seemed to have horribly failed. Maybe, he didn't even try to.

A witness who had a complete idea of the incident had told us about it. My bruises on the back were being treated. They stung and I hissed in pain."Please be careful," Jeremy said to the nurse who was treating meHe then looked at me with a soft smile which I returned and then looked back to the unconscious figure.

If you hadn't shielded him from the hits then his condition would have been worse" He explained and nodded in understanding"You're welcome" I whispered and it was silent for awhileJeremy came up to me and kneeled before me."You...Feeling fine?" He asked awkwardly"Yeah...thank you for asking," I said again looking awayHe nodded and then moved away. Everyon

When I go forward to see what was happening, I had to go through the crowd. My eyes widened as I got into the crowd to see what was happening.There was Jaxon with blood running down his head which made his whole face look like a blood moon, getting kicked by a few juniors.

I frantically looked around trying to think of a way to help. I got up to go and ran to call the others.I ran through the university corridor as fast as I could. Suddenly, I saw Tristan by the locker area."TRISTAN!!!" I screamed causing him to turn flinching"What the fuck Henry-""Jaxon got into a fight and now he is getting beaten up. We need to help" I said in one goTristan

THIRD-PERSON POV"What?" Rosalina asked as memories of her being the same flashed through her mind"Yeah...Few guys at school sexually harassed her. She could not take the pain and lost her mental balance" Jeremy said looking down"How is she now?" Rosalina asked"She is better. She will get discharged within this year" Jeremy repliedThere was a moment of absolute silence. None of them said a word as the only sound heard was the clanking of glasses."I am so useless as a brother," Jeremy said"Not more than me," A voice said from behindRosalina's head jolted up in the direction and her eyes widened. Jeremy sat up straight as nervousness took over him."B-Brandon?" Rosalina said stuttering"Why are not eating anything chubs?" He askedRosalina did not reply. She just maintained her silence."I am a much more useless brother. Do you want to know why? Because even if knew what was happening with her I did not take any action.

He asked in a low voice"Cause I want to talk to him. Any problem?" She asked raising an eyebrow"Certainly. You cannot go to meet him" Jaxon said growling"Ohhh and who are you to say that?"

ROSALINA POV:"Cause I don't want to lose you again," He saidI cringed at his cliché words. I lightly shivered at it in disgust and he gave me a questioning look. I rolled my eyes and walked forward.I heard footsteps behind but ignored them and kept on marching forward. I stood at the bus stop waiting for its arrival. I felt a presence beside me and looked to find Jaxon staring at me. I sighed and moved away which made him move with me. I let out an annoyed huff."What classes do you have today?" He asked softly"None of your business I see there," I said with an annoyed expression"Well, it is. If it's related to you, it is" He replied"It never was. And it isn't now either. We are no more.
