Zec (COMPLETE)

CHAPTER XI: Back to You

If genies were real, I’ll only wish for one thing… I wish that you’ll love me back…

-------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, the twins, RR and JJ, were all teasing me because they saw hickeys on my neck! That douche-bag last night left so many marks that even a concealer couldn’t hide it! They were asking and teasing me if I already gave ‘it’ to Lan last night.

I wanted to stop them all from their wrong guesses and to complain to them what really happened last night, but I couldn’t. They sure will get mad at Lan and have him taste their revenge. I don’t want to cause a commotion.

But Jojo knew the truth, he’s been eyeing me and waiting if I will spill what really happened. Last night, it was a disaster! I would never let that jerk talk or come closer to me again! And the slap that I gave that douche-bag was not enough!

To divert the subject from me, I told them I will treat them lunch. And after I said, “free food”, they started talking about the food they wanted to order, and they forget all the questions related last night that they were asking me.

We went to Milena’s classroom to invite her to join us. She looked over to us then her eyes searched for her girl. I think she wanted her girl to join us. Then we witnessed a heart shattering moment. I felt how Milena’s hope to reconcile with her crumbled to the ground.

That Azzhole ditch the paper roses that Milena gave her to the trash bin and walked together with her friends laughing at Milena’s pitiful state. I was about to dash to that b***h, drag her to the ground and throw punches to her ugly face, but the twins stopped me.

Milena ran away while crying so hard. My heart aches for her. Our friends told me to give Milena space, but I’m worried so I ran after her. 

Our friends shortly followed us. I saw an upcoming vehicle when Milena was about to cross the street, still wretchedly crying. I sprinted to her and I was able to push her out of the way of the moving car.

We got scratches from hitting the ground. I sighed in relief. Our friends helped us walk to the clinic and clean our wounds. Each of them gave Milena a hard slap on the back of her head. They were scolding her, but I think her mind is wandering off somewhere.

We walked her home and she looked like a zombie walking. Her body’s here but her soul’s gone. I wanted to go inside her house but Jojo told me not to.So, we left her at their house while we went back to school.

During classes, I’m still worried about Milena. I kept on sending her messages and tried to call her. But her phone kept on ringing and there’s no reply. After our last period, the twins and Jojo were all watching me closely.They were worried that I would kill a certain spoiled brat. So, to keep me away from that b***h, they all volunteered to walk me home and stayed up in our house until midnight.

The next morning, the guys told me that they don’t want me to go to prison so they made me promise not to take revenge on Azzhole. Even if it’s against my will, I obeyed them when they told me that Milena would not be happy to hear that something happened to her girl.

Milena didn’t attend her morning classes, we were worried. She’s not replying to our messages, so I skipped school and went to check her in their home. I was about to knock when her brother opened it. He said he’s going to his school and he’s glad that I came to check on her sister. He’s worried that Milena will lock herself in her room all day. I went to her bedroom and saw her still sleeping. I crouched beside her and stare at her beautiful sad face. I noticed that she lost weight. I really wanna kill that b***h for hurting my love!

I gently touched her face and I noticed that her body temperature is very hot. I went to her bathroom and damped some face towels then I went over her and put one on her forehead and gently dabbed the other one on her neck and arms.

She slightly stirred and slowly opened her eyes, “What are you doing here, Zec?”

“Why are you absent today? Are you feeling unwell? Our friends were so worried when they didn’t find you at class today. You didn’t even reply to their messages. I came here to check on you. I’ve checked your body temperature and your fever is high. What are you doing, Lena? Are you trying to kill yourself?”

“I don’t need to kill myself. Someone already did.”

“Why are you being so stupid over one girl? There were so many out there making their efforts to make you see them!”, I totally refuted her statement.

“No! I don’t need them! There’s no other love that can compare to what I have for Azil!”

“You didn’t even try liking other people and you eagerly said no? Did you ever try to kiss someone other than that spoiled brat?How could you say that no one could compare to her? You didn’t even try working it with someone else!”, I continued.

She was going to argue with me again when I stopped her by kissing heron her lips!

I wanted to show her that she didn’t need to cry over one stupid girl.I’m here, ready to be her rebound girl. Willing to love her with all my heart.Willing to risk everything even my life! I wanted her to feel how much I love her! I continued kissing her even if she’s not responding. She’s pushing me away, but I wrapped my arms around her neck and pulled her closer to me. I bit her lower lip to get a reaction from her.

I stopped when she mumbled, “Stop, you’re hurting me, Zec!”

I saw her swollen lips, I’m sorry but not sorry, Milena.

“Sorry. I waited for this to happen. I wanted to kiss you since the day I met you.”, I said as my fingers touched her wounded lips. I pulled her closer to me again and licked along the outline of her lips.She pushed me away and I retreated this time. I gently cupped her cheeks and looked at her, “Why are you so crazy loving that spoiled brat? I’m here… and I love you!”, I pleaded to her.

She sighed and broke our eye contact. She couldn’t look at me while she said, “I’m sorry Zec… I love you too… But only as a best friend. As a sister. Please, I don’t want to lose you…”

I didn’t let her finish! I ran away from her! It hurts so much! She still thinks of me as her best friend and her sister! What did I expect? That after I confessed my love for her that she would instantly love me back? I am really a fool to think that I might have a chance at her the moment her spoiled brat girlfriend abandoned her. Am I that naive? I felt so pathetic!

I cried so hard while running. I saw a glimpse of the brat at the other side of the road. Maybe she’ll apologize to Milena and they will be back together.

HA-HA-HA. I sarcastically laughed at my pitiful self. 

They’re back together. Happily, ever after again. 

And here I am, broken-hearted and such a loser! 

Why didn’t I have this courage a long time ago? Why did I confess at the wrong time? How would I talk to Milena after this? 

She might be awkward to be close with me again. And maybe she already hated me for not telling that I’m secretly in love with her for the longest time! I’m so stupid!
