~Zara Todd's POV~
The sounds of utensils and the sound of water running wakes me up all of a sudden. I feel as if I have been to a really long deep sleep. Like I have slept for years.
I open my eyes as I hear those sounds and I see that it is actually not my room, not the one which I had woken up last night.
My eyes rolls around the room as I clutch the corner of the duvet and try to remember what happened.
"I'm still on Devi's," I shout all of a sudden and try to wake up from the bed when I find IV drop being connected with my body.
What the hell is going on? I mean why am I on this IV drop?
"What's wrong?" Devi comes rushing towards the bed room as she sees me waking up with the laddle in her hands.
"No! Nothing. How long has I been asleep and why am I like this? Why mean why is this thing connected to my hands?" I ask showing IV drop in my hands.
"Oh! You've been asleep for the whole night. And you were unconscious last nigh
~Zara Todd’s POV~“Changes? What kind of changes?” I wipe away my eyes with the back of my palm and look at her with such an expected eyes.“What should I say to you? He has completely turned to be the person who is actually not him. I still remember the first day when I came to this house. Young master used to hide from everyone. There was no fear in his eyes. He didn’t hide from us because he was afraid of us but because in some way he thought that his cruel and rude behavior would hurt us and just because of that he would lock himself in the room almost for all the time except in the school. For almost four years, he was locked in a room without even letting him go outside. He didn’t go to lower secondary school. He was educated at home,” she says.“What? Why wasn’t he allowed to go out? Why was he locked?” I ask gulping the saliva on my throat.“I don’t know the reason but t
~Zara Todd’s POV~“I killed a person. I just killed a person, Zara,” she says. My eyes widens with disbelief when she says that. I don’t want to believe what she said to me just few minutes ago. That’s just impossible or I could say that is the thing I could never believe at all.I mean Melanie is just some jolly and life enjoying person right now and I am quite aware of the fact that she said, she has bulled some people in the past but killing someone is just too extreme. I just can’t believe when she said that she killed someone. I want to know more. I want to know what was the actual thing that she is not telling me completely right now.“I don’t believe it. I don’t want to believe it. How can that ever happen? Just tell me that thing never ever happened? The words that you told few seconds ago, tell me that it is all wrong,” I ask her as I hold her hands on mine with my brows curled up.&ldqu
~Zara Todd’s POV~I am left without any words after she had told ne everything. I don’t know if I can even judge her or not. I know she was wrong that she was on weed that night and she was under the influence of the weed and that all happened because of that.I think that was something she couldn’t control of but if she really wants to repent then she should at least try to say something to Nathan. She should try to explain everything to him instead of running away from him.“You should confess to him. You should just tell him everything that happened that night and foremost thing is you should just tell him how much regretful and sorry you are to him and how much you have lived your life in guiltiness all this time,” I hold her shoulders gently as she looks up to me.“Do you think he would listen to me? This is the heaviest burden I am carrying all this life and I don’t know how will he even react? I don&r
~Zara Todd’s POV~My eyes are filled with hope when she says that. I really want to know everything about Xavier. About his childhood, about his happiness, about his sadness and most of all about his dark pasts! Will she be able to tell me all of that? Shall I ask her everything or should I wait for Xavier to tell me everything?I just couldn’t decide what should I do right now? Should I even ask her without hesitation or should I protect all of his secrets?“You know Xavier was so much cheerful person when we were in primary school. I remember him singing and playing piano on ‘Mary had a little lamb’ when we were small. He was such an angelic child. He had chubby rosy cheeks and his eyes were so much bright at that time. He used to be happy and his lips curled up more when he was child,” she says. I am glad she said it herself.“And?” my ears want to hear more and more about him. I want to know each a
~Zara Todd’s POV~I wake up sweating like hell. This hands!!!I don’t want to remember them. I don’t know whose hands were those but I don’t want to see them. It wasn’t the hands of my uncle who harassed me years ago. This time, the hand was different and I really hated that hand for no reason.I grab my head tightly and grip my hair with my fingers and close my eyes for some seconds trying to recall myself and forget about that dream.“It’s alright Zara! It’s just a dream. Nowadays, you are just seeing something weird. I really need to tell everything to Xavier before it get too late or before I lose control over myself for these things and he starts to claim me as the mad girl.I breathe out heavily as I seek water to drink but I find that my jug is almost empty and I need to walk down to the kitchen to grab some water.I know Miss Jones would just come to my room if I ask help with her
~Zara Todd's POV~The door opens as I try to leave and Xavier gets out of the door with a question."Why would I hate you Zara?" he says as he holds the knob of the door."Xavier! I... I...," I want to tell him everything but then I cannot say anything to him."It's cold outside. Get in," he says as he holds my hands and pulls me in.He leads me to his dark room and for the first time, he switches on the light of the room and the whole room looks completely different right now.I hadn't been able to see this room with the lights on. It was just a scary room before but now it looks different.My room is quite big but this room is even more bigger than mine.I can see some exercise stuff at Northern part of the room. Seems like he works out a lot and at the southern part he has a drumset, bass guitar, acoustic guitar and a piano set. I don't know if he knows how to play those all or not but I hadn't seen this be
~Zara Todd’s POV~ Xavier stands in front of me. He looks as dashing as he always looks. He has that rare and priceless smile on his lips and his hands offering towards me. I stand almost five feet away from him. But I can clearly see his white tanned face smiling along with his lips. His fluffy brown hair falls on his forehead gorgeously making him look extra sexy and his deep blue eyes are just so much fascinating when they look at the light turning them into lighter shades. “Come to me Zara! Just come to me. I have been waiting for you over here for so long. I want you here. I want you to be with me. I missed you so much and did you miss me all this time?” he asks. “Yes, yes, I did. I missed you so much. I missed you a lot that whenever your face came in front of my eyes, I clouds of tears would just cover them up. I missed you so much,” I say as I run towards him, to become one with him in his embrace. But as soon as I rush towards hi
~Zara Todd’s POV~My eyes cannot get away from Asher who just stormed out like a volcano right now.“Is something wrong with him? Why is he like that?” I say as I keep on staring at him. I have never seen Asher being so much troubled. I am sure there might be something huge going on behind our backs and he doesn’t want to share it with us.“I think so but what I don’t care at all. It’s his problem?” he says. How can he so much cool after seeing his friend being in so much trouble?“You shouldn’t say that, Xavier. We need to see if something is wrong with him, don’t we?” I say as I stand up and gesture him to stand up as well.“Why? Why should we help him? He should help himself and I don’t love him,” he says as he gulps the orange juice lying on the table.“You don’t hate him to?” I say as I hold his hand pull him to stand up fro
