I felt my world crumbling down the moment she looked at me in the middle of the school students and walked out.i didn't feel any humiliation neither was I embarrassed but I felt a sharp pain in my chest like the one I felt when I saw my mother lying dead on the hospital bed.
I brought out my phone and immediately dialed Devin's number, I can't stay in this school anymore. He picked the call after some while but it seemed like he was still busy. I almost cancelled on him and thought of taking a cab but he wouldn't trust me to be alone. He thinks I'm suicidal.
"Okay I'll wait" I finally replied and ended the call when he said I should wait outside the school and he will be here shortly.
I stood outside the school waiting patiently for him, he arrived shortly and as soon as I entered the car he received a call on his phone.
"I'll be back excuse me" he picked the call and

My eyes fluttered when the bright sun rays met my eyes, I managed to adapt to the light in the room as I scanned through the room. It didn't look like my room neither did it look like Maya's.There were posters of rock bands and a guilter hung all around the wall; It looked like a typical boy's room. The thought of me being in a boy's room brought back memories from the party. I soon started to remember some things even though they were really hard to remember.One thing I very well remembered was the fact that Frank had set me up for Aurora and climbed on top of me to rape me, I tried to kick him in the groin but failed as a mighty slap landed on my cheeks and everything went blank. That was the only thing I could remember.I was starting to panick on how I got here, I was scared I could be in Frank's room after what he did to me at the party. It was hard for me to believe the fact that my best friend's so called boyfri

"Zach?" My voice broke at the sight of him trying to force his way into the house."Isabella!" He yelled as he broke free from Xavier who had been holding him. He made his way to run towards me when Xavier pulled him back. He shot Xavier a warning glare but he didn't flinch, knowing Xavier wouldn't let him meet me he forcefully punched his face and I gasped in shock."What the hell are you doing here?" I tried to scream but my voice came out rather hoarse and quiet."I'm so sorry for what happened, I heard about everything and couldn't help but to look for you. I couldn't concentrate and I know the amount of pain you must be feeling but I am really sorry Isabella.""Lam called me to the party but I ignored his request, if I had known I wouldn't have turned him down and none of this shit would have happened because I would be there with you" he rushed out his words as he walked closer to me.&n

He drove me safely back home but didn't say a word all through the drive, he only kept on staring at me from time to time; probably thinks I would jump off the window or do something crazy.I appreciated the peace and quiet he gave me in the car but I knew he wasn't going to be quiet when we get home. He parked the car at our usual spot and I came down from it immediately before entering the house.I went straight up to my room to think because it felt like I had lost all of the hope I had in me, she chose Xavier over me and it might as well be the end for me. I don't think I can have her anymore. It was nice trying what it felt like to be in love but hell I wouldn't want to ruin myself anymore so I'm cool with never falling in love with any girl.I heard a knock on my door and assumed it was Devin, I knew he could have been quiet in the car but there was no way he wouldn't want to talk to me once we get home but I wasn'

"So this isn't a bad idea after all" Maya finally commented on our little ice cream lunch outside the sun, we were both seating on my car while digging in a cold Ice cream. I was glad I was able to take her down with an ice cream so next it's to tell her about my plan."You haven't still told me why I'm here" she abruptly spoke up like she had been wanting to say it all these while but kept on forgetting."Oh about that.." I cleared my throat while scratching the back of my head. I was never nervous about anything but damn this Bella of a girl is driving me nuts."I'm listening" she sharply interrupted again, I thought I had tamed her down with the ice cream but it was clear I was so far from being able to even sit her down. Fuck the ice cream."Its about Bella and I just need your help, you're the closest person she has right now and you know everything about her so apparently you're my only hope in

Xavier had asked me to go to prom with him but I had declined saying I won't attend but Maya now wants me to go with her.When I asked about George if he won't go to the dance with her she had a sad look on her face and I knew something was wrong with their relationship. She wasn't feeling okay but she has been trying to hide her pains to focus on mine. I didn't want to be the only one our friendship is concerned about so I decided to go with her to the dance so she won't feel lonely.Today is the day we go to prom and im still sitting on the bed with no feeling of excitement in me when Maya on the other hand danced around the room arranging and fixing everything. Behind her smile I could see the amount of sadness she had in her but I would definitely talk to her about it.

"What?" She panicked as soon as she heard her name, I stood up from the ground and held her closer to me. She had a confused look on her face while I was lost in her beauty. Everything became slow, she was the only person I seemed to see in the room and even her heart didn't race as fast as it was racing.My whole mind had sunk into her and I was surprised she didn't try to run away or release herself from my grip but I was glad she didn't leave. The DJ started to play a slow music and everyone made room for us to dance according to the schools' tradition where the king and queen are given a special moment to dance before the rest starts to dance.While everyone was focused on us, I decided to use the opportunity to apologize to her."I'm sorry for everything I've ever done to you Isabella and I hope you'd give me one last chance to make everything right" I apologized with in the most sincere and genuine way I have ever

She tried to force a smile at me, "I'm fin...." She couldn't complete her statement before she suddenly passed out but I caught her in my arms before she landed on the floor. Worries enveloped my head as I yelled her name. Devin heard me yelling and despite what I did to him he ran to help me.I carried her to my car and immediately rushed her to a nearby hospital. It was owned by my dad and they attended to me immediately as they saw me rushing her in. They rushed her to an emergency room but told me I couldn't follow her in.I waited for what felt like days but she still wasn't awake yet. Devin didn't go back home either as he stood with me."I'm so sorry Devin, I only wanted to make you happy" I apologized as I sat down on the cold iron chair with my hands and my whole body shaking."It's fine, I understand you tried to help. I'll just find a way to tell her it wasn't what it looked like, she woul

*ONE YEAR LATER*ZACH'S POVIt's our one year anniversary and everything has been moving so fast between us, even though we fought sometimes she's still the only one I've stuck with throughout the year and I'm lucky to have someone like her.I pulled by the flower store and searched through for her favourite flower, I would be getting her chocolates too and we would go to a restaurant together after I give her the flowers and bribe her money driven boss at work. The man makes me laugh sometimes but then I'm glad I could easily shut his mouth up with money and sneak Isabella away from work."Uhm excuse me, you don't have a lily?" I asked the girl who had been staring at me since I got in, she seemed to be working here too.She was still staring at me with a smile on her face and I wondered if she couldn't hear me, I walked closer to her and waved my hands in front of her eyes but

"Zachary O'Connell! Where the hell are you and what the fucking crap do you think you're doing!?" My coach yelled through the phone as my wheel kept swerving through cars in a hurry. "I'm sorry coach but I can't make it today" I responded with my eyes focused on the road. I had disobeyed a lot of traffic rules and out ran a cop car. Hopefully I don't get caught by them; well not today. "What the hell do you mean you can't make it? We're having a final match today and your teammates are all waiting for you, if you don't come here we might lose the game. Zach are you out of your mind!" He roared and even though I wasn't there I could picture the look of frustration on his face. "What's even so more important to you than your big game which would fetch you and your team a lot of money?" He groaned in frustration. "It's my girlfriend's graduation coach! It is fucking important!" I yelled with exc

The priest had arrived while I kept on staring at the silver coffin that was laying beside the six foot hole dug for it. The burial was to start in about thirty minutes but Zach and I were the only present ones around.I loved the fact he stood by me through all of these and made sure I laughed, he realized I wouldn't eat any thing but came up with a smart plan to only make toasts because they're irresistible.Shortly after, a black car pulled over, it belonged to the Andersons. I watched how they hopped down from their expensive car and walked towards us; they somehow have different cars for different occasions."Isabella" Joe greeted as he welcomed me with a hug which I returned with a kiss on his forehead. I watched how he also hugged Zach and I was kind of surprised at the sudden affection. They liked each other but never admitted it, They always want to act tough to each other but today's hug was strange but lovely.

ISABELLA'S POVLife can indeed change in moments and the fact that you think you've found a source of happiness could be really scary when your happiness leaves you in the least expected moments.I watched how Zach went into the kitchen to make something for me to eat even though I didn't tell him to, I wasn't sure I would be able to eat the food with my lack of appetite. I was stuck in between believing what he said to me or not but then if it was really true it means I couldn't trust him or put my trust in him. What if I also get pregnant for him and he abandons me just like he did to that girls. Perhaps the reason why he doesn't want to have sex with me was because he knew he would abandon me if I get pregnant.I was lost in my thoughts when I heard Zach's footsteps approaching me. He hadn't been talking much to me after my father died though or perhaps I was just the one who have been grieving too much to notice.

"Hello there!" She smiled even though the smile didn't last long on her face before falling."Can I?" She motioned at me to create space for her to enter the room. As much as I didn't want anything else to hurt Isabella, she was her mother after all and perhaps she came to console Isabella so I created a space for her to pass.Another lady in a corporate dress followed behind her after flashing me a death glare or perhaps that was how she looked at people. Some other two men in suit tried to enter the room but she had gestured at them to wait outside the door while she was in the room with the other lady. There was no possible way I would let her in this room alone with Isabella so I walked closer to them."What a fine apartment you have here darling" she said to Isabella whose eyes have been on Fiona ever since she entered the room. I could see the flame of hatred burning in her eyes but her physical strength wasn't mat

I continued to go round the hospital asking every single nurse or doctor that comes my way but still no positive response. I was getting really worried and almost broke down in tears but decided to search for her in every way possible.I thought she must have gone to her father's house but the moment I drove there, the doors were locked and everything was still the way it was before I rushed her father to the hospital. She wasn't here either.I went back into my car to continue the search for her, perhaps she went to Grace house to talk to Joe or so I thought. The moment I got there I met Grace sitting outside with Joe as she gently stroked the poor crying boy's hair."Grace!" I called for her attention and she turned to look at me."What brings you here?" She asked with a little smile on her face. But I wasn't here for the greetings either so I instantly cut her off."Where's Is

I realised the only way I could have Isabella back and win her trust is by telling her nothing but the truth about my past and about why I had acted that way towards her. I'll be ready to face whatever happens before then even if she decides to leave me but then I would know I wasn't being a coward anymore. I started to have doubts if I truly wanted her to know and if truly I am ready to accept whatever happens next. I know it's normal to have doubts but I just hope my doubts doesn't over power me from telling her the truth. I drove back home from the airport and walked straight into my room, staring at the mirror I realized I had changed a lot from the Zach back then, the old Zach was brutal ad cared less for anyone's emotions but the new Zach is a changed person who wouldn't want to hurt anyone in order to make his love happy. I hope she would see me for the new me and not criticize me for my wrong doings just like everyone had done in

ISABELLA'S POV"Then leave" his voice came out deep and strong that it caught me off. I wasn't expecting him to say that to me and my heart just broke."What did you just say?" My voice croaked but there was no sign of emotion on his face. I was stuck on whether to believe this was my Zachary or not. I could feel the hot fluids flowing down my eyes already."You heard me right Isabella!" He flatly responded, a sting of pain and bitterness found its way to my heart. It hurt badly that I couldn't breathe well neither could I say anything for some while. I stared at him in disbelief wondering if I had been talking to another man all along since I came to Brazil."Zach what...what have become of you?" My weak voice couldn't complete the sentence at once as it kept on breaking."This is me, this has been me all along and perhaps you were expecting too much from me" he dropped another

I watched how she spent almost two hours trying to fix her self up after spending thirty minutes in the bathroom. I noticed she had changed after we started to date, she suddenly loved to dress up and look good. I'm sure she was doing that for me or probably got out of depression and needed to look good but I loved it. "We're leaving this room in a week time aren't we?" I teased and she looked at me from the mirror with a smile on her face. "Take a chill pill bro, I'm just being a woman here" she responded and I couldn't hide the small chuckle that left my mouth. After some while of waiting, she was finally ready to go out with me. I had no idea where to take her to but I guess I would treat us a nice meal before showing her around. She should love it. We entered my car as I drove through the streets of Brazil. My mind wasn't at rest as I kept on looking at the mirror hoping no car was follow

I woke up to the sweet aroma of roast chicken that filled my nose, Zach must have gotten up earlier to prepare a meal for us because I was damn hungry last night even though I ate most of the pizza. I remembered a day he said he didn't like to eat with me because I end up cheating him most of the times. It wasn't actually my fault, he was a slow eater and hell who the fuck eats slowly so I always end up helping him to finish his food on time, even after that day he said those words he still ate with me the next morning. I removed the blanket from my body and realized I was still naked but then I felt sad because we didn't get to have sex together last night after everything we've done already. For some reason when he was about to thrust himself into me, he got a call on his phone that turned his mood off. I noticed how bothered he was about the call but didn't want to ask him last night hoping we might still do it
