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
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
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
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
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:It was a gloomy and cloudy morning. The rain was torrential. The surrounding was tranquil and the only sound that could be heard was the rain enveloping the ground into its embrace. The weather was quite comfortable. The sight of the trees getting refreshed by the touch of rain and dancing in the directions of the wind was mesmerizing. Even though the morning was gloomy but I enjoyed that kind of weather.I looked up at the clock and saw it was 6:30 am.'I am early' I thought.As much as I enjoy sleeping but waking up early in the morning was a routine. I prefer to utilize my time rather than wasting it by fooling around, not that I have anybody to fool around with. I decided to get up and get dressed for school.Since it was a cold day I decided to wear something simple and comfortable. So I chose something like it.Makeup was never my thing as it made me feel heavy and I couldn’t apply i
Rosalina POV:The bell rang and it was time for recess. As usual, I was walking alone as I have been for the past years. I reached my locker to get my earphones. I grabbed them and straight went to the roof to calm my mind. I sat there and listened to the melodious music while enjoying the view of the cloudy weather.I was sitting alone until someone came and sat beside me. I did not bother to look as I knew who it was. I was getting myself ready to hear his demeaning words. Then the person spoke"Do you always come here during recess?" The person saidI looked at the person startled. To my surprise, it was not who I thought it would be. It was the new guy. I was expecting it to be Jaxon as he comes and insults me sometimes when I am on the roof."Yes," I responded calmly"Nice," He saidThere was a long silence after that, then he spoke again"So have you thought about it?" He saidJAX

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
