Chapter 23 - chapter twenty three

Zion's POV

Xavier, the last time i heard that name was three years ago.

I never thought I would hear it again and most especially probably not from her.

Immediately she said his name I didn't know how or what to feel some unknown emotions just erupted in me, I didn't even know when the tears started coming.

I ran I ran till my legs gave up. My car is still probably in the school right now, I don't know, how many hours have been gone now.

But I don't wish to return back, not anytime soon.

Guilt.

That feeling of guilt has been living within me for the past three years.

I always told myself it was not my fault, eventually everybody would die but I could have saved him.

But I couldn't.

Not only that

I didn't want to

I'm such a bad person

I don't deserve happiness.

But There is always that one part of me, the dark side of me, the part filled with hatred, jealousy anger, the side which always tells me that Xavier needs to die.

And the hatred over consumed me that day I let him die, I watched him die.

Xavier i'm sorry

So sorry

But is already too late by now

I know he probably hates me now, more than he ever did.

But i'm still confused about one thing.

Limah

How the heck does she knows Xavier.

She is just new to our town

She is new to new York City.

And she possibly doesn't have any friends apart from me rowan, sage and hayden. if I could even call us that.

Nobody even talks about xavier in school surely because they don't even know what happened to him.

 *********

when I finally found my way back to school it was already dark my car was still in the parking lot.

My head hurts, I just want to sleep and forget about everything.

I droved home quickly, Immediately I got inside I was engulfed in a warm hug.

"Oh my God baby i'm so glad you are okay"

"I was really worried I thought something happened to you" my mom continued.

"Hayden reported to the principal that you were missing" she added.

"Zion where were you" My mom asked.

"Mom I'm really tired can we please talk tomorrow"

"I'm really not in the mood" I added

I turned to go back to my room but the next words my mom uttered stopped me.

"Your dad was worried" my Mom whispered yelled.

"Oh that's new"

"Zion"

"Good night Mom"

I quickly got under my covers, my only comfort zone, I heard a buzzing sound coming from the bathroom. I thought I left my phone in the car.

Oh yeah I left my other phone in the car.

Sometimes I wonder why I have two phones when hardly even use them

And I can't believe I forget my phone in the bathroom again.

"Zion you forget your phone again in the bathroom"

"What are you doing in my room Xavier"

"Get out" I added looking at him deadly in the eyes.

"Just taking a shower mine got broken" he replied the boredom could be heard in his vioce.

"I don't care okay"

"Just fuck off"

"Do you think I want to be here" Xavier responded back harshly.

We were definitely not talking about the showers anymore.

Ughhhhhh I groaned out loudly why can't I stop thinking about him.

I checked my phone and was quite shocked, I got 30 missed call from my Mom, 20 from limah 10 from sage 15 from hayden 6 from rowan.

And 1 from my dad which was really surprising.

He never cared before so what's different now.

I just switched the phone off I didn't want to talk to anybody right now.

I was intterupted from my thought by the knocking sound coming from my bedroom door.

"Who is there" I asked

"Young master your mom said to ask if you are hungry" said the maid stuttering slightly.

"Go away i'm not hungry" I barked.

"But sir"

"Get out"

"Please don't let me repeat myself"

I added.

With that she left.

I walked lazily to my bed immediately my head hit the pillow I dozed off.
