Rosalina POV:
It's a sunny day, the scorching sun hitting my face as it woke me up from deep sleep which I have been forced to take, despite the fact that I had just woken up from sleep after two months a few days ago.
I stretched my arms and with a bit of struggle, I got a hold of my crutches to get up to dress for the day. After brushing my teeth and doing all the necessary routine for the morning I went out of the room.
Greeted by the tantalizing aroma of food, I flew towards the kitchen. I enter just to have my mouth hang open at the sight in front of me. There was a variety of food for breakfast. Brandon was cooking in an apron very intently.
"What the fuck?" I say shocked
"Seriously? You just woke up and started cursing already? What a sister I have!" Brandon bickered
I rolled my eyes at his comment and went to him while hugging him for the morning. He hugged me b
JAXON POV:"Rosalina!!!!" We all looked at the door only to see Kai screaming his lungs out alongside Ivy. Rosalina covered her ears by the amount of noise he was making."If I knew I was going to have to be dealing with a siren then I would have never accepted your offer of being friends in the first place!" Rosalina statedKai faked a hurt look making Rosalina and Ivy roll their eyes at him. They looked at each other for a few seconds until they burst out laughing. However, Rosalina did not laugh and only gave a small smile which turned upside down again. My heart clenched as she was hurt so much that she lost her ability to be able to laugh and a way or the other I am at blame.Kai came forward and hugged Rosalina. She returned the hug with a small smile as he asked."How are you?" "Life goes on.." She said sighingI got a b
JAXON POV:After getting all my stuff, I head downstairs. The door was already open to Rosalina's house so I entered. There was noise coming from Rosalina's room and when I entered, suddenly someone shouted, it sounded like Jeremy."Josephine!!" I jumped at the mention of the name. I ran towards the room. I enter to see Josephine standing there. The moment I step in all eyes focuses on me making me feel awkward. "Look who decided to come!" Josephine spoke looking at me"When did you get here?" I asked cluelessly"Seriously that's the first question your gonna ask after seeing for almost 3 months," She said making a 'really' face"I am sorry," I said walking toward herI hugged her and she hugged back."If you don't mind me asking, who are you?" Brandon asked Josephine"Oh sorry for not introducing myself!
THIRD PERSON POV:The gloomy and blueish shade of the reciprocated the feelings of the pouring rain. The thunder was rumbling while the wind howled its objection.Jaxon's brain was frozen. He could not believe what was happening. More like he could not accept the melancholic truth. He was bought back to reality when a bunch of people dressed in white was taking the pale out of the bed.Hurrying over to them, he snatched away the body from their hands as he put his hands defensively around it. To them, it was just a part of their job carrying away the gone. But for Jaxon, he felt someone had dug their hands through his bare flesh and snatched his soul away."N-No you can't take her! S-She is still here," He saidHe put his hands around her body as his fingers tangled into her hair. Her head was placed right near his heart. He was breathing heavily as he clutched onto the figure in his e
THIRD PERSON:Leaves fell off the trees, hitting the lush green grass, as they changed their color to a brownish shade. The cold breezes hit the city signaling winters nearing a comeback. The breezes felt colder than usual for Jaxon. His empty eyes stared at the figure before as she got her check-up done.Everything felt like a joke to him. Everyone around him felt unreal, including his existence which felt surreal. He let out a bitter laugh as he looked at the girl. The room held a tensed aura. Everyone squinting their eyes worriedly as it shifted from the doctor to the girl who remained oblivious.The doctor sighed as he got rid of all the medical appliances and made his way towards the anticipated audience. Everyone slightly flinched as the doctor did. The doctor signaled them to head outside with him and they followed."Jaxon let's go?" Tristan askedJaxon did not move an inch and maintained eye contact with the girl who
Rosalina POV:I entered the campus with a thumping heart while my head rotated around nervously. Hands slightly shaking, I went to look for my locker. With my schedule, everything, starting from my locker number to classroom number was available so I didn't face much problem. After a while, I soon found my locker and got my books out. I headed towards my classroom.There were a lot of students as I entered the class. Some of them were serenely sitting and doing their work while the majority were talking. Ignoring everybody, I went to the empty seat available and started to make notes from the book.Everyone was gossiping while waiting for class to start, in which almost 45 minutes were left. I utilized the time. Suddenly the door snapped open and gasped. I was not at all interested and kept my attention on taking notes."He is damn fine," A girl said in her thick American accentThe enti
THIRD PERSON POV:Ill luck is experienced by every single person. No matter how positive or rich one is, bad luck does not let off its chance to leave a scar. However, sometimes bad luck isn't just the way it is. It gives comes in form of karma and when karma clones bad luck, the impact is quite devastating.Jaxon was suffering from the same situation. No matter how much his hands trembled to hold her yet he could not cause once he made her go through the same pain. All the verbal, physical, and mental abuse on her was coming back to him in an emotional form. His heart clenched when he saw her this morning so close yet pushed far away.He was currently heading towards the lift to reach the 17th floor with a heavy heart. His hands shook in pain and fear of not being able to get her back anymore. Most of it being guilt. Flashes of hitting her went through his mind as he regretted every single action he took. Leaning against the wall beside
Rosalina POV:"Again..don't curse baby!"I turned with a glaring look and he smirked at me."I am not your fucking baby!" I spat at him"Don't worry I will fuck you" He said casuallyHe came toward me and my eyes widened in anger."You-" My words were cut off midway when he suddenly kissed my cheekI looked at him shocked. He smiled innocently and went towards the kitchen."Where is my room?" I heard him asking"Go down the corridor, the one on the left, in front of Rosalina's room" I heard Brandon sayingI ran towards the kitchen and they both looked at me with a questioning look."He is staying in the room in front of mine!?!" I screamed"That is the only extra room we got?" Brandon said with an obvious look. I looked at Brandon with an irritated look, while he just looked at me apologeticallyLater, I sighed in defeat and looked at Jaxon. He gave me a teasing smile and winked at me. I stomped out of the kitchen in anger.JAXON POV:As soon as she walked out of the room my smile dro
THIRD-PERSON POV:"Jaxon...please listen to me.." Rosalina muttered in sleepJaxon flinched in shock hearing that line from her mouth. It was a common line for the past few years which he never paid any heed to.He hurriedly knelt in front of her as she was whispering something which was quite inaudible. As he lent his ears closer, he could hear more clearly."Please tell me what I did..""Please listen to me...""I did not cheat on you...."Rosalina kept on muttering in sleep. Jaxon on the other hand felt his chest clutch with guilt as he silently listened to whatever she was saying in sleep. The last line she said made his face go pale as he saw a small drop of tears escaping her closed eyes."I am not a slut...."Jaxon could not hold back anymore as he started bawling his eyes out silently. A realization struck him that he did not only break her heart. He hurt her pride, and questioned her character which is a very precious thing to every human being.Her grip on his hands got tigh
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. The atmosphere got comforting and lively the moment his eyes fell upon the café door which opened with a woman coming in with a smile. She smiled at the workers who had returned th
ROSALINA POV:My heartbeat is increasing with every passing second as I await the waking up of the raven.He fought for me. That's what was lingering in my mind. 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. We were all very tense about him."Thank you Rosalina" Henry suddenly said"For?" I asked confused as there was nothing to thank me for"For protecting him. 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
HENRY POV:I was passing by the university's open area. I ran out of supply for a pen so I was heading to the store to buy some, but as I was going I heard the commotion. 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. He looked like he was having difficulty breathing but was trying his best to fight back. I went forward to stop them only to be hit to the side by one causing me to fall. 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. Did not protect her the way a brother is supposed to. This i
THIRD-PERSON POV:Jaxon's expression darkened. He felt anxious and angered. Calming himself down he asked"Who?" He asked"Jeremy" Rosalina answered back blandly without any expression"Why?" 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?" She asked in a sarcastic tone"Rosalina listen to me you cannot go to meet him!" Jaxon growled at her againRosalina felt scared at his expression. He had towered over, his nostrils flaring from anger and his eyes red. Rosalina shook her indicating a negative answer.Jaxon ran a finger through his hair abruptly in frustration but what caught his eyes was Rosalina flinching. He came forward at her"I-I just wanted to know W-Why he did it" She answered as she covered herselfJaxon stared at her confused."P-Please don't hurt me" she whisperedJaxon's shoulders fell. His eyes softened at her vulnerable state. H
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. So you are just acting like a stalker" I said and walked awayTHIRD-PERSON POV:Her words hurt him like someone stabbing him with a sharp knife. He stared at her with eyes full of emotions to which she stayed oblivious.The bus arrived and without looking back Rosalina entered and punched her ca
THIRD-PERSON POV:Brandon's eyes widened at Rosalina's statement as she stomped out of the room. Jaxon just stared at the figure with a blank look as it faded away into the corridor."This is going to be very difficult" Nick blurted outJosh glared at his obvious statement."I will go talk to her," Lia said suddenly marching forward.Everyone looked at her with a hopeful look but Jaxon. He had a blank expression on his face, staring at the door.Lia went forward and knocked on the door. There was no response so she just decided to enter.She walked into the room searching for the figure. Her eyes landed on the girl by the bedside bawling her eyes out. Lia felt terrible for not being there to support her friend when she needed it the most. For judging her without any proper explanation. Tears weld up in her eyes as she stepped forward.She kneeled behind her and rubbed her back."It's okay. Let it out" She whisperedRosalina burst out crying as soon as she heard the voice. She needed s
THIRD-PERSON POV:Jaxon sat on the couch in the living room fiddling with his fingers for hours. He was nervous. He was scared. He did not want to lose her...again.Jaxon has been sitting in the room waiting for Rosalina to come out of her room for quite a long time. All the boys and the girls were there except the one. Even Ivy and Kai were here and as always they were bickering."It's fine Jaxon! Chill" Tristantried comforting but Jaxon was way too caught up in emotions to get affected by those comforting wordsEveryone was lost in their world and they did not notice the additional presence that had entered the room."What are you doing here?" She said in a cold voiceThe noise of voices dropped with that cold tone. Jaxon's head shot up as he looked at her with soft eyes but the latter had enough."Rosalina ...." He whispered"Leave," She said straightforwardly"P-Please listen to me o-" Jaxon was cut off"Get out!" She said in an angered toneBrandon who was in the kitchen came rus
ROSALINA POV:My eyes opened slowly adjusting to the light. Everything was just the same as it has been since the day I have come here. A shiver ran down my spine as I remembered all the horrible incidents that occurred to me here, in my room.I felt two muscular arms wrapped around me and light breathing on my neck giving off a ticklish feeling. I jolted up from my position causing the person holding onto me to flinch awake from his sleep. He sat up rubbing his eyes. His eyes shot open as he saw me"Rosalina? How are you feeling?" He asked worriedly placing a hand on his cheek"What are you doing here?" I asked coldly as I yanked his hand away"You fainted after the incident. I ran after you and you almost got into a crash again...." He said as his voice cracked"T-Then you fainted. We called the doctor came for a check-up" He finishedI looked at him as anger rushed through me. After all these years of torture for no good reason at all, he still has the nerve to stay this close to m
