Saving Him

the confession

Zed's POV

(Year 2022 before the time travel)

“Dane is dead..." Dylan said, my brother. This news is shocking, probably the others are shocked right now.

“You should go at his funeral, you should forgive him for what he did in the past." Me forgiving him?

“Are you joking right now? Have you seen the damage he cause? look at him before he died! He was one of the most successful singer in all five of us... And the role they gave me is to be the most hated member of Adore. He plan all of it along side with our evil boss!" To be honest all five of us never even talk and never been friends.

“I hate that band." I said and I mean it.

“His father told me that he Su*****e." The was even more shocking... In all five of us he was the most successful. Why did he k*ll himself?

“Maybe he has a reason why he did all of those things." I didn't response to him and left. I need to clear my mind... Dane and I never talk that much when we were in the group, well not just me and Dane but all of us never been close because of work and exhaustion. I've been close to Jason a bit.

I cover my face while walking. I can sense that some of this people can recognize me. I went to my favorite coffee shop.I sat near at the window, and I have the clear view of the big billboard for Dane.

“Well looks like all of us suffered... I forgive you buddy... cheers?" I said and sip the coffee. Looking back now... We don't have anyone we can lean on back then— We don't have someone behind our back to protect us so all of us are just victims.

I look back again at the window, I saw a lot of people. Some of them are crying at his billboard some of them are just jogging. One of them actually stop jogging and sat on the bench.

“I wish I just have a normal life like them or someone to protect us when we were kids." I sip again on my coffee.

My wish is the most impossible... I can't help to laugh at myself.

(Year 2013 the day her arrives.)

I went downstairs and I saw Ritch with the devil and a girl. Well this girl is pretty.

“Hello boys, This is my niece Cynthia." oppss... I'll take what I've said... I shouldn't hit on the devil's niece, because she might be one of them.

Dane gave her a tour and send her to her bedroom. Jason look at us, He looks like he has a plan.

“I have a plan... Let's make her quit. I think she's a spy for Mr. Lee, because why would he make his own niece to be a 'maid' right?" What he's saying is making sense. I look at them and they seemed convince like me.

“We need to do a teamwork so we can make her quit." Warren said. Woahhh this is the first time he talk to us without any the camera! That girl is something, she just arrived at the mansion and now she makes us talked.

“So are you go for it?" Jason said and we agreed.

“I'm against of that Idea." Dane the great said. He always against on our ideas and he only reason is 'because Mr. Lee Would never like that.'

After what we did, that didn't break her! this girl is something. I ordered her to cook me some snack and now she's baking me a cookies and it was smelled delicious.

I've been staring at her for awhile and she was attractive with those ponytails. I asked her if the Cookies are finished because I'm starving! While she was saying something I saw the knife falling above her head so I pulled her immediately.

Her eyes... Her gaze... Up this close I can see that her nose is also pointy and beautiful, her lips are Bright pink. Did I just compliment her Face?

After the cookies are baked I immediately ate it even though it's hot. This is so Delicious! It's taste like my mom's! She should be a baker rather than being a maid.

Next day she outsmarted Warren and Jason, this girl keeps making me amused. She literally created a war between the three of them. Should I trust her?

....

I saw Warren yelling at Dane, this is the first time I saw two of them fighting because Dane is the only person Warren's talked to.

I saw that girl sneaking. This girl is being nosey, she might--- Warren punch Dane and the vase almost falls on her gladly I pulled her Immediately. This girl loves being in danger, that was scary.

I didn't let go of her I don't know why but my heart beating so fast knowing she's in my chest.

I hope she didn't notice that.

....

I got pissed when Jason throw the thrash to her... I don't know what I was thinking but my boy just move and punched him. He crossed the line and Cynthia doesn't deserve that! I was so mad at him.

...

When Warren called us that she was in the hospital I rushed as fast as I can to see her. When I arrive I saw Warren and Jason look so shocked and covered in blood... what is happening? I told her to stay away from danger!

I looked at the small window at the door, I saw a nurse lifted her T-shirt that covered in blood. There's a huge wound on her belly along side with a huge burn mark.

After that stalker incident I can't help stare at her in the hospital bed sleeping. She just made me believe that someone we can rely on.

how many weeks have passed I can't stop thinking about her. I always found myself staring at her. I found myself doing things without thinking! I was getting Jealous seeing her talking with other. And the most stupidest thing I did is that I kiss her forehead! What was I was thinking?

I'm not denying that I like her but I never thought that I was falling too hard. All I think is her since the day she arrived.

I saw her wearing a dress and having a dinner with Jason. I can't help to feel jealous, when I first saw them laughing together I can't help myself to felt this. Now seeing her from the distance wearing beautiful dress, she looks stunning in front of Jason and that's makes me jealous.

How many days have passed I did something again! I almost kiss her, Dane just interrupted me but part of me thanked him for stopping myself doing the most reckless thing.

....

Hearing her saying she wouldn't date any of us... I don't know but it makes me lost my energy for one whole day. I want to celebrate about the news of Julie's Lies but I don't have the energy.

She just rejected me even though I never confessed! Why am I so devastated? My bandmates keep cheering me up but it never work.

I was so scared knowing that Warren confessed and few weeks later they went on a date. I was in my bed all day, I was broken inside.

Someone opened the door. I almost send them out thinking it would be just Jack, Jason or Dane, but I'm wrong it was Cynthia holding a tray of food.

“I lost my appetite." I said, I thought she will leave but instead she arrange the bed table and arrange the food infront of me.

“You haven't eat anything since this morning. If I said something that hurts you last night... I'm sorry.” I miss her a lot, I miss her voice and her presence. I found myself staring at her lips and never listened to what she was saying. I move closer my face, I can see clearly her face is turning red. I move closer again when she started to speak again, I can feel her warm breath.

“Y-your too close." She said. She's confusing me, does she likes me?

“I like it this way." I move closer again and our nose touched. She didn't move and I really want to claim those lips of hers. Should I stop myself? I only have a few millimeters. I don't want to stop and our lips have touched. I can't stop myself, I touch her neck to pulled her face closer more.

Our kiss is getting deeper and I want to stop myself but I also don't want to. Our lips parted. I stared at her face that look so shocked right now.

“I'm sorry... I can't help myself..." I said but she was still look shocked.

“W-why did you do that?" This girl is so slow sometimes.

“Isn't obvious? I like you--- no in fact deeper than that I love you I guess." I can feel my face burning.
