THIRD-PERSON POV:

"Jaxon...please listen to me.." Rosalina muttered in sleep

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.

His one arm was wrapped around her waist keeping her close while the other caressed her hair strands.Jaxon was feeling restless as he could not connect the dots that had been set for him. The pattern felt quite unknown but predictable.He looked at the girl in his arms, who slept like nothing less than a baby. A smile crept upon his face as he patted her hair lovingly. The smile soon dropped as he got reminded of her state earlier. The only word he could think of for her at the moment was: Fragile.In the pit of his stomach, he had a bad feeling. He had a feeling that what she dreamt might not be a dream but just a flashback of the unnecessarily harsh reality she faced.Once again Jaxon was blaming himself for everything that had happened to her. Teardrops made their way back down his eyes as he held her tighter."

He keeps on staring at me giving me looks that made me uncomfortable.I was about to sit beside him to ask if he had something to say but Jaxon forced me to sit beside him and I was too lazy to argue. I looked back at him to understand what he is trying to say but he kept on doing stuff that makes me blush from embarrassment."So there is a fair coming up this Sunday! Do you guys want to go? I didn't want to go alone." Jeremy asked suddenly"I have some assignments to finish today so I can't go...you can ask the others if you want to" Jaxon replied"I am free.

    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

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.
