Zayden.
"Dahlia, Lia open your eyes."
I opened my eyes and Zayden was in front of me I was now sitting on the bed and he was on his knees holding me.
"Why are you crying?" he asked.
I put my hand up to my cheeks and felt the wetness of my cheeks.
"Why am I crying?" I asked innocently.
He sighed. Something told me that he knew the answer.
"Yes, Love I have answers to all your questions but first you have to come with me."
"Zayden I.... I can't."
"Yes, love you can." I could see he was getting angry.
"Zayden my mom..."
He cut me off before I could complete the sentence.
"Lia, I understand and that is why I am giving you a weeks' time to enjoy your time with your family and friends. After a week exactly at this time I will come to take you, either you come willingly or I will take you forcefully."
Nothing could express the pure anger that I felt for him but in spite of the anger I couldn't help but get attracted to him.
He smirked at that thought and I scowled.
"Bye love, see you soon."
And with that he vanished and the loneliness set on me and every single second I spent with him came back to me. The dream, the thoughts, his body...ugh! and his words.
"Lia stop thinking about it and I wouldn't mind you admiring my body. 6 days 14 hours 56 minutes left." He said sternly like a high school teacher telling us that our time for writing the paper is coming soon.
What!
"Yes, love I can talk to you too."
Oh my God.
I ran to my bathroom and splashed some water on my face. My life had turned Hell, literally.
No response. He went, I guess.
"Dahl come down sweety..." I heard my mom call to me.
"I'm coming mom." I replied weekly.
I wiped my face and walked out of my room to my mom, who was sitting in the dining room.
"Yes mom." I asked with a sigh, tired of the events happening.
"Nora had called she was asking about you, it seems you left the college half way."
Oh, shoot I forgot about it.
"Tell her you called sick and came home." I heard a voice in my head but it wasn't Zayden. It was a sweet voice.
"Lia..." My mom asked worried.
"Uh...Mom I was sick and so I came home."
"But your college didn't even call me to inform me."
'Um...mom Nor told them that you were busy I guess that's why they didn't call."
What even. I thought.
"Ok fine." She agreed.
"Do you want to eat something?"
"No mom I'm fine. I just need some rest." Tired of everything that happened in these few hours.
"Ok sweety. Take care."
"Yeah mom." I kissed her on the cheeks and went to my room.
I checked my phone and there were;
20 missed calls Mason *insert monkey face*
15 missed calls from Norrrr *insert blue heart*
Mason: Dahls call me Asap.
Mason: How are you?
Mason: are you ok?
And 15 other messages like that.
Norrrr: Are you fine.
Norrrr: babes text me as soon as you see this.
Norrrr: Take care.
And some other texts from Everly and some other classmates whom I didn't even know.
I spotted a different message from;
Love *insert red heart. *
Love: Hey hope you are fine I will be watching you so don't try anything funny and enjoy your week I love you.
How dare he threatens me. Zayden!
"Yes love."
Ugh! I hate you.
He chuckled. "And I love you."
I fell on my bed pulled my blanket up and fell asleep I will deal with this later.
