Rosalina POV:

"I love you"

My heart skipped a beat.

I did not know what it meant but I felt a tingling sensation in my stomach as my heartbeat kept on increasing.

Here I was sitting on his lap as he just confessed to me. He looks vulnerably broken. I felt his grip on me tighten as I held onto him without uttering any words. I did not know how to reply.

"Don't leave please..." He said breathing on my neck

"I won't," I said trying to comfort him.

"Please don't," He said yet again

I did not reply as I held onto him tighter. An urge in me rose that I should be comforting him. I felt attached

THIRD-PERSON POV:

Rosalina felt awful seeing Jaxon's broken state. Although she did not understand why he was this way, she was distressed to see the usually playful natured boy in such a state.

Jaxon was in fear. As if his mind and heart had collaborated printing the thought that if he lets her go, she will fade away. He will lose her again. She held onto him as he silently cried holding her as well.

This was supposed to be mine and Rosalina's time but she had to invite Jaxon who doesn't leave her, and she is more than fine with it.I don't understand, what does Jaxon have that I lack? They would have never met in the first place if I did not introduce Rosalina to the group.*FLASHBACK*I was walking down the hallway with Rosalina.

She is quite introverted, I somehow managed to be friends with her. She is the type where you need to approach her. She is cute. I think I might have developed a liking for her. She has a slight dimple when she smiles and it's adorable. It gives me butterflies in my stomach.The bell rang indicating it was the break. A rush of students came out of the classroom. "Do you want to meet my friends?" I asked turning to RosalinaShe gave me an awkward smile as she shrug

My head was hanging low. Brandon let out a sigh of grief."What can we do for now?"

He asked not bothering to answer the question I askedI frowned at his behaviour. I was about to ask again but he cut me off."What do you want to have?" He askedI stopped myself from asking any other further questions. I stopped and looked at him for a while, silently.

I said silently"I will go get it for you," He said as he kissed my temple before leaving.I had a blush over my face as he left.

  • Scars Between Us   EPILOGUE

    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

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?"

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.
