Rosalina POV:Jeremy had come by to visit and for some reason, I feel odd around him. 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. I can go with you"Suddenly a voice spoke from behind and I flinched hearing. Jaxon looked back and knitted his eyebrows.I looked back to see a fairly tall guy with brow parted hair. He had a charming smile on and he was very good looking. Are all of Jaxon's friends this handsome?!"How did you get in?! Through the window?!" Jaxon asked"Pleas
THIRD PERSON:Jaxon sat trying to concentrate in class but his attention diverted to Rosalina who was sitting beside him paying full attention to the lecture.His mind was a mix of emotions. He could not make out anything like the conversation from earlier. He did not want to lose her, definitely not to someone who was revealed to be a backstabber. He is ready to give up on everything but..not herHe was thinking of ways to prevent the problem. This would cause a huge issue if not taken into hand. Cause his words were triggering and his tone was challenging. This was not some sort of joke.*FLASHBACK*"Remember Orelia.." Jeremy smirked at the youngerJaxon furrowed his eyebrows at the mention of the name. He was not quite sure who he was talking about. It was the first time he heard his name."Who the fuck is Orelia?" Jaxon asked confused"Wow... You should choose acting as a course, you will pass with flying colours-" Jeremy paused and clicked his tongue"- But you don't necessarily
HENRY POV:I was going down the hallway to my next class. It was my first class for the day and it was very hot outside. Coming inside the university campus kept me at peace.Going through the hallway I heard a familiar voice talking to someone. As I went forward I saw Jaxon and Jeremy talking to each other. I went closer to approach them but suddenly Jaxon held Jeremy's collar as Jeremy gave him a smirk. I was confused so I hid.I heard the whole conversation and felt terrified at how easily a bonding can be ruined. Jaxon stomped out of the area angrily. I saw Jeremy take his phone out and call someone. I attentively listened to his side of the conversation in an attempt to not get caught."Hello?" Jeremy spoke"Ah yes I have a favor to ask…are you free?" He asked"Umm can you bail out somebody. He is in the West Wing of the prison in the city." He saidI furrowed my eyebrows trying to interpret the meaning of his conversation. "His name is James Hamilton" He answeredMy eyes widene
JAXON POV:My heart started thumping fast at the sound of the voice.Jaxon: J-James?I angrily stutteredJames: Yep! You guessed right!He said chuckling from the other sideJaxon: How did you get my number? I asked trying to calm downJames: Well you see...your friend Jeremy Parker is under my control now..so...He said in a mocking toneJames: What the fuck do you want!?James: Woah Woah chill..hah! How I wish I could see your face right now. Mourning over your slutJaxon: Don't you fucking call her that and mention her with that filthy mouth of yours!!!I gritted my teeth as anger took over me.James: What did I do? Weren't you the one who gave her that nickname?He spoke in a mocking tone. I gulped as he said that. Once again guilt got me as I looked down trying to calm myself down.Jaxon: What do you want?James: Calmness! I like that! James: What I want is revenge. It is being fulfilled by Jeremy.Jaxon: Why are you doing this?James: You're so oblivious Jaxon Jacobson! I mean
JAXON POV:My mind was all over the place as I could not get a clue of what could be done. I started to panic as I picked up the shaking body in my embrace. I charged towards the door. As I forwarded, the door barged open."Hey, Jax- why is Rosalina's body shaking?" He asked"We have to r-rush to the hospital, she is having c-convulsions" I stuttered as I made my way towards the doorThe man before me shook his head as he took the car keys. I rushed down as he opened the car door. I sat in the back seat with her still in my embrace as the engine roared. We rushed to the hospital as tears blurred my vision. Her body was shaking vigorously as I feared losing her again. She looked lifeless as her body inhumanly shook."You will be fine...you can't leave me again...you will be fine" I whispered trying to console myself"Brandon, how long will it take?" I asked panicking"A-Almost there" He stuttered and I could tell he was cryingMy heart clenched. We reached the hospital and he parked th
THIRD-PERSON POV:Jaxon drove his car as fast as he could as anxiousness took over him. He didn't feel safe considering Jeremy was all alone with Rosalina.He decided to give a call to someone. He dialled the number and the person immediately picked up.°°: Yes Jaxon?Jaxon: Henry? I need some help. You're in the hospital, right?Henry: Ah yesJaxon: Well Jeremy somehow managed to convince Brandon to send me back home to get my clothes. Can you please stay there till I return? I don't feel safe.Henry: It is not safe. Don't worry I am going right now. You come as soon as possible.Jaxon: Thanks! Bye.With that Jaxon ended the call as he rushed back. He increased his speed and now he drove at a tremendous speed.***After ending the call with Jaxon, Henry immediately rushed to Rosalina. He knew, considering the situations of the past few days, it was not safe to leave Rosalina with Jeremy at all.Henry felt sympathetic and attached to the younger. Jaxon went through a lot to be togethe
THIRD-PERSON POV:Jaxon felt his blood go cold when Rosalina said that. He tried maintaining a reluctant face but he was breaking into a cold sweat. He felt pressured."Oh..." He replied"Oh?" Rosalina asked repeating"I mean of course it's familiar, you lost your memory, you were in the hospital. So, it will be familiar" Jaxon said as he sighed in relief as he found a way."Hmmm..but" Rosalina paused"But?" Jaxon asked"It's not the hospital, it's...you," She said"Me?" Jaxon said pointing at himself as panic rose in him"Yeah...I feel like I have been in this situation before. You sitting in front of me while I am in the hospital bed" Rosalina said"I don't know...maybe we were like this in our past life," Jaxon said laughing it offRosalina nodded sighing. But little did she know there was a hidden meaning behind his words. It was only one sentence but contained, indescribable emotions and situations to which Rosalina was left unknown for now."Anyways, you hungry?" Jaxon asked as
JAXON POV:I was setting up the plates for Rosalina and Tristan. Rosalina wanted to serve Tristan but ended up getting burned by the still-warm food."I told you not to touch these. Why the hell are you so stubborn?!" I scolded"Sorry..." She said in a low tone.My shoulders slumped as memories flashed through my mind of me neglecting her. The same voice, the same expression. My expression softened."It's okay, it's not your fault. Don't say sorry" I rambledShe looked up at me as she nodded cutely. I flashed her a small smile before turning away.Hurting her was, is, and always will be the worst mistake I have ever made. I will never forgive myself for this my entire life.I was setting up the plates as the silence had taken over the surrounding."Oh hey Jeremy," Rosalina said suddenlyI stopped whatever I was doing and turned around. I look behind to see Jeremy...He stood by the bed with a bouquet in his hands. He had a smile on as he looked at Rosalina. Clenching my jaw, I looked
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
