~Zara Todd's POV~
"Xavier, what should we write for the movie review?" I ask.
"Write anything that you want. I will just accompany you with anything," he says. I feel quite disappointed when he says that.
"How can that be okay? I mean we need to work together and I really want to work together with you in this project," I say with a sad face.
He doesn't know how much I love to see him studying. It just makes me so much happy when I see him working for the school.
"I hate to study Zara," he says as he plays game on his laptop, preferably pubg.
"But I don't believe that. Melanie told me that you were the best and topper student in your primary class," I say with excitement.
"You met Melanie?" he asks.
"She came to meet me this noon. She isn't a bad person and she has a short life Xavier. We should consider about her wishes until she is with us," I say.
"You like her?" He asks.
"Yeah, she is such a sweet girl and she
~Zara Todd's POV~I become so much glad when I see him doing that. I want to wake him up but just seeing how he innocently he is sleeping on the table makes me don't want to wake him up.But I can't let him sleep on there for whole time."Xavier! Xavier!" I try to wake him up.He rubs his eyes like a little child."Is it already time to go to school?" he asks."We still have some time. Why don't you go and sleep in bed till then? I will take a shower and will wake you up after two hours," I say. He nods his head and goes back go sleep in bed.I take a warm got water shower and arrange all of my books and copies.I arrange his books and copies as well.I pick up the review from the table and read it. It is written so well. I just don't understand why does he want to hide the talent he has.I keep it inside his bag as he was the one to write it and I start getting dressed up for school.Asher rushes to my roo
~Zara Todd’s POV~“What the hell are you doing Xavier? Everyone is watching at us,” I say as I try to free my hand from his grip.He smiles lopsidedly as he looks back at those students and then to me.“Don’t you dare do anything to her. She is my girl now,” he says with a huge smile on his face and I can see Asher smiling on his statement as well.What’s wrong with you Xavier? Why should you say that to everyone? I feel so much embarrassed right now.“Xavier! Why did you do that?” I ask.“You fool! I just saved you,” he says and I suddenly hear a guy slipping on the floor. He slips in such a bad way that I’m sure he is going to rest in the bed for next two to three days.“What’s wrong with him?” I ask.“That was for you Zara. Thanks god! I saw it before anyone else did and fortunately you walked the another way. I need to warn them
~Zara Todd’s POV~“What happen Miss Dawson? Why did you trouble to come over here?” she asks to my mother-in-law who entered inside her office room like a cold ice. I feel as if she is radiating wholesome of coldness from her body.“I needed to come Miss Lily. Why are you here Miss Todd?” she asks me. I am sure she knows why I am here. She is just asking me to make me more and more serious and anxious right now.“I… I…,” no words come from my lips in front of her. I don’t know why but whenever she comes in front of me, I feel like my whole world is crumbling and my whole world is shaking when she is in front of me.“Miss Dawson, I found her identity card in the café last time,” she says as she hands my identity card to her. She holds my identity card in her hands and glares back at me.“Café huh? What’s going on Zara? What were you doing in a caf&eac
~Zara Todd’s POV~I just don’t get why does he get angry at such small issues. I don’t think that it is something that he should be angry of.“Xavier! Xavier!! Where are you going right now?” I follow him quickly. His steps are too quick to follow but then he turns suddenly towards me.“Zara! I am going washroom,” he points towards the men’s washroom and then smirks. “Don’t tell me you’re going to follow me over there as well,” he says. I flutter my eyes for couple of time before I answer him.“No! I am not Xavier. You’re so shameless,” I say.I then, walk back to my classroom strengthlessly and that is when I hear some girls gossiping in the class.“You have to see her face girls. She looked like she is going to grab me and hug me right at that time. You know she is quite a fool. I don’t how did she even believe that I can change and just b
~Zara Todd’s POV~I stand in front of the mirror as I try to look good but I don’t think I actually suit in that dresses.“Zara! It’s been 23 times that you have checked that dress and rotated in front of the mirror dear. Would you please stop that now?” Melanie mumbles.Melanie is already ready on her dress. She is wearing a black colored top without any neck piece and a red colored leather jacket over it. She has worn a mini-skirt and black colored stocking on her legs accompanied by high heeled boots. She looks perfectly like goddess in her outfit while I look like I am going on some Sunday school classes with the dresses I wear.“I don’t know. I just don’t feel like I look okay with all of these dresses. Don’t you think I should just change my style of wearing the dresses,” I say.Melanie stands up from her place and walks to me and checks my hair and then on my dress.&ld
~Zara Todd's POV~The car stops in front of the beach house which is rather colorful and quite vibrant.There are all red and green and blue lights all over the house and the noise over there is like the house is solely responsible for noise pollution of that place."It's crowded," I say before even entering inside the house."You haven't even entered Zara," Melanie says."I don't feel like entering into this party now. I feel kind of weird. Like I am so much uncomfortable in there," I say."You sure are. But who cares. Just show that you aren't. Just act like you are completely fine and isn't affected by it at all," she says as she clasps my hands on hers and walks me inside the house.God! Damn! The whole place reeked of alcohol. Like seriously! And most of the faces over here is nothing like the faces I have seen in the school.I seriously think that these people aren't just high school kids but they are people senior
~Third Person’s POV~“Where in the hell are you Zara?” Xavier shouts as he walks towards the porch to search for her. He doesn’t see her all over the place and keeps on searching for her but doesn’t find her until he sees her in the balcony of three storied house playing with herself while she hands on the railings of the balcony.“Zara! Zara!” he shouts as he storms towards her.“Xavier! What are you doing over here?” her playful voice makes him smile while worrying for her.“I am going to ask you the same questions? What are you doing over here Zara? You need to get down from here?” he says as he takes her away from the railing and make her sit on the hanging couch which is more like a swing.“Oh my god! The ground is shaking Xavier. We are going to die. Did you see that? I feel the whole world is shaking right now. It’s an earthquake! It’s an earthquake guys! Run
~Zara’s POV~ The loud music from the basement wakes me up suddenly. I don’t know how long have I been sleeping for but I feel like I slept for almost a week. Is it only me or the people who get drunk like this everyday?I run my hand to the other side of the bed when I realize some fleshy object beside me. What’s going on? Who the hell am I with? Is it Xavier? Or is it someone else? My mind keeps on running towards every single direction until I decide to open my eyes and look at him or her.I slowly open one of my eyes while my another eyes being closed. From whatever I can feel, I don’t think it’s Xavier and one of the reason for it is because the skin I touched some moments ago was way too soft to be of his. I know his skin and his skin is quite rougher than this.I slowly turn around my head to see who is on that side and to my utter surprise I find Melanie right beside me. What? So, it is Melanie who slept a
Epilogue~Zara Todd's POV~I walk down the graveyard. The day, I have been fearing all this time has finally come up. I never wanted Melanie to leave my side.But what was supposed to happen will always happen. Sometimes we can't just take control of our lives. It just goes on the way we never want it to be.We all stand in front of her grave, all of the friends of our class. She has been such an amazing friend to everyone.The whole class mourns in front of her coffin and you won't believe who is mourning the most right now.Yes, it's Nathan. I can see how much hard it is for him. He has been in love with her in last one month. I never thought that the last wish of Melanie could ever be fulfilled. I thought it was im
~Zara Todd's POV~"What?" Xavier freezes at that same point."You liar! You must be lying," he shouts."Why would I lie at the edge of my death? I'm not a fool to joke with my own life," uncle mumbles and Xavier leaves his hands away from him.He becomes hopeless all of a sudden. He surely hated his mother. She never loved him. She never even cared for him.But how much we hate our parents, how much they don't care about us, it's certain that we won't love to hear any bad things to our parents.I don't know what is it called but it's a special bond that connects us with our parents. Even we don't love them we can't hate them hundred percent and that's because they are our parents.Uncle runs away as he leaves his hands from his body and aunt follows.One more time, it's just two of us standing in the midst of the room, speechless and lost.Before, I thought it was me and at that time, it hurt him.
~Zara Todd’s POV~ She walks away from the room and we are left in the room together. Both of us being unanswered of the secrets that she wasn’t even willing to tell both of us.“Xavier! She said I killed my parents,” I want to stand up and walk to him but I don’t get to stand up from there. My knees feel so much weak right now. I don’t have any energy to cope up with anything right now.I feel like the whole world around me has become dull and even the air isn’t moving around me. I feel both the hot sensation of burning on my skin while the inner part of my body shivers with the pain.“That’s not truth. I am sure she is telling a lie. She is such a liar. She has been lying to me all her life and she is lying to you as well,” he says as he walks to me and kneels in front of me.He pulls me into his arms and caresses my shoulders a little faster than he u
~Zara Todd’s POV~‘You don’t deserve to hold that picture.’That sentence triggers Xavier all of a sudden. He looks at her with a mad eyes and then looks back at me and I know what he is going to do the next.“No! No! Don’t do that,” I run to him and quickly grab the picture from his hands and take it away from him.“Zara!” he calls my name with a soft voice as he sees me holding that picture against my chest and tearing out loud.“What the hell are you doing Zara? What’s going on? Who is this man?” he asks.I know he has the same curiosity that I had some moments ago. We young people are so much out of patience. We want everything to be quick and just to be at the time in which we feel okay with.We don’t like when people try to keep us in dark. We have lots of secrets with us. We can hold a lot of secrets tha
~Zara Todd’s POV~“How do you know them?” I shout at Jennifer. This thing is just knocking the air off me. I don’t understand what the hell is my dad and mom’s picture doing with her. And they are together as well.I only had a single picture of my parents and for the that single picture of them is the world. I don’t remember lots of things that I did together with my parents. I just have some vague memories of them creeping on my mind. I wish I have more of their memories.But still after that, just with a single picture of them, their image is deeply engraved in my heart. Just with that picture I have imagined my mom and dad in so many of my dreams and have cried for them. So, I know the image of my dad and mom clearly.How can a daughter do a mistake in knowing her own parents? I know these person along with her in those eighties picture is non-other than my own parents.“Yo
~Zara Todd’s POV~ “You lied to me. Why did you lie to me?” I ask this question in front of Jennifer without even being afraid. Why would I be afraid?She tried to trick me with her such an unbelievable game which is so much nasty and unfair. Why the hell did she do that for god’s sake.“I didn’t lie. That’s the truth,” she says.“Oh! Please! Would you please stop being fake? I have asked Xavier about all of this and he knows nothing about Jack and the relationship was never fake for him,” I say.“And you believed?” she raise her brows.“Yes. Why wouldn’t I? He is my husband and he wouldn’t lie to me. I have heard every bits of truth from his own lips. Why would I believe in you instead of believing in my husband who loves me so much,” I say.“You’ve gained the courage.
~Zara Todd’s POV~“What the hell are you speaking right now? What kind of hospital? Who is in the hospital?” he asks me with the shock plastered on his face.“Xavier, please don’t lie to me now. I know everything and I ... I saw him in the hospital. Hurt, with so many injuries and so much bandages in all his body. How can you do that? How can you just do that Xavier?” I grab his clothes on his chest as I lean my head on his chest and cry so much on his chest.“I don’t get that. I just don’t get the things that you are telling right now. Just fucking tell me what the hell are you talking about?” he shouts as he grabs me away from his body and fixes his eyes on my face but I just cannot face his eyes. I look down on the floor as the tear rolls down my eyes.“What is it Zara? Just fucking tell me,” he shouts.“I met Jack! I met Jack in the hospi
~Zara Todd's POV~As soon as we enter the venue, the colorful lights welcome us. This all seem to be extravagant to be just a normal high school ending party. This party feels more than just a high school farewell.I can see all the students who has been so much studious and quiet in last few months are all different today.Beautiful dress, amazing bodies, that huge smile on their face for coming out of that locked prison like study compartments, is making them so much happy.They look different. And when I look around I don't see any teacher over there. Seems like this party is just for us. Just for students."Let's get inside," Xavier says as he holds my hands but I just don't feel that warmth from his hands. Is it because now, I know about all his truths which he has been hiding from me? Or is it because I see him differently now?I just nod my head and we walked in. Asher follows us from behind.
~Zara Todd’s POV~I rush to the hospital where Jack has been right now as soon as possible. Everything inside me is breaking into pieces. Everything within me is making me weaker from deep within. I don’t want to believe the single thing that she has told me. Who would want to believe all those things?No girl in the world would love to hear and believe the things that she told me some time ago. I hurriedly walk towards Jack’s room and open the door. And …He indeed is lying on the bed. He has the bandage on his head and there are bruises in his face. His right leg is bandaged and hung on the air as well.“Jack,” I close my mouth with my palms. I can’t believe I am seeing Jack like this right now. And the foremost thing is I can’t believe Xavier did it.It can’t be. It just can’t be. How can Xavier do all of this? He was changed. He is changed. At least I thought t
