Chapter Seventeen

I drink the whole container of water– That medicine tastes like an expired sandwich. Then I give the bottle to the clinic nurse.

"You can rest now. What you've experienced is just all stress, and you faint because of tiredness." She smiled at me worriedly. "Amae, you know that you have asthma but you're still stressing yourself. It might harm. Now rest and make sure this time you sleep. I won't let you leave this room without an hour's sleep." She close the curtains and left.

I lay my back at the soft cushion. I'm here at the clinic, I pass out for almost an hour and I ate all of the fever medications the nurse gave me. My fever is now low. Also, Kate was here earlier but left because she still has a test.

I sharply sigh, I have been spending hours studying that lesson but this happens. I waste my effort. But it's embarrassing because the whole class saw me faint and plus my bleeding nose. I think I need to rest now, nurse Lyka might scold me.

I'm about to close my eyes when all of the sudden I heard noise.

"Where is Amea Viglianco?" It was Xyro's voice. Oh god. I forgot that me and my brother have the same school! Seconds later the curtains open harshly.

When Xyro's eyes meet mine, He sighs in relief. He must be relieved seeing me alive and still breathing. He approaches me and touches my forehead.

"You made me worried, Amae! You should have told us earlier that you're sick! now look what happens! You fainted in class with your nose bleeding, Amae! God if I didn't run to your friend earlier, none of us could have known this!" He sounded so frustrated.

I look down feeling guilty. "I'm about to call you earlier but-." I didn't finish my words when someone entered again.

It was Zeyt and He looks so unplease. Really unplease. Just like Xyro did, He touch my forehead to check my temperature. "This is why you shouldn't skip breakfast." He sigh and set on the bed beside my waist. he crosses his arms while looking at me.

"I didn't skip breakfast. I ate a sandwich." I frown. I did eat.

He rolled his eyes and hissed. "Sandwich isn't considered as breakfast, Amea." He stood up with his hand hands in his pocket. "I'll buy you something to eat. What do you want?"

"I'm not hung-."

"Just answer his question, Amea." It's Xyro who talks. I pouted and you think I have a choice? it's my two older brothers against me! I hate being the youngest I always need to follow their orders.

The only thing I could do is sigh and answer his question. "chicken soup and Water. That all." I said. He nodded but before he could open his mouth someone interrupt us.

"Hey!! you two!! what are you doing with my patient!" Nurse Lyka approaches us with her hands on her waist.

"Where visiting out Sister." It's Xyro who answered.

She cross her arms then pointed at the door. "Leave, Amea needs to rest." Her eyes browns line up together.

Zeyt frown. "She's our sister, we have the rights to visit her."

"And I'm her nurse, she's my patient. and when I say no visitors... NO VISITORS. And you're dearest sister needs to rest. Now..." She pointed to the door again. "Leave or I'll drag you both." She glared at my two brothers.

I laugh a little, And glance at the two guys beside me. Xyro looks calm and doesn't mind the nurse while Zeyt looks like... Bothered?

"I'm fine you can both leave," I said and relax myself in bed. They look at me and nodded.

Zeyt pat my head and said. "I'm going to bring food here later and you'll be riding with me later. Xy, let's go." He said and pull Xyro.

Before they could leave I heard their talks. "Where's Liv?" Zeyt ask.

"He is at home, They don't have class in the afternoon. but I text him and Adi. Adi said to make sure Amea is okay and let her go home safely..." That's the last thing I heard before silence covered my ears. as my eyes filled with darkness.

As I woke up I notice a plastic bag beside my bed, I know it's from Zeyt. Just like he said earlier he'll deliver food. I eat the food and 15 minutes after that he arrived to pick me up, I also called my driver not to pick me up because Zeyt will drive me home.

I thank the nurses before going, especially Nurse Lyka who's the one who assist me the whole day. We both went to the parking lot.

People are watching us. I'm in the college parking area. I don't know people here but I think they already know me... Well, not all of them.

They are watching me while Zeyt is resting his arms around my shoulders. Some college girls greeted him and give me a fakes smile.

"Hey, Zeyt!" A pink-haired girl called out Zeyt, She even block out just to say Hi to my brother. This is my first time on the college grounds. They most haven't heard about the news spreading about me.

They must have mistaken me and my brother. Gez! What the drag!

Zeyt smiled at her. "Hey... uh... Catharine?"

She laughs and playfully slaps Zeyt on the shoulder. "It's Gabriella..." I creased my forehead. I can't believe she is happy even though my brother didn't remember her name. Weird kind of girl. Then her eyes move to me again. "Oh... who is this little girl?" She looks at me with discussion in her eyes. "Is she the flavor or the night?" She smirks.

Flavor... of the... night? what?

"She is my sister. don't talk to her like that." Zeyt said with a calm voice like he didn't like the way that girl said. Gabriella's eyes widened, her face turns into red out of embarrassment. Some students saw the scene and laugh.

Zeyt drag me towards his car and push me inside. I heard Gabriella shouted sorry but Zeyt didn't even glance at her. Wasn't that harsh but I know he really didn't like what she said. What is the meaning of that anyways? Why would I be a flavor?

He went inside and drove out of the parking area. Zeyt face turns to normal again, unlike earlier. He then talks about the food he brought earlier.

"Don't worry I eat all of it," I said and he nodded. I bit my lips and ask him a question. "What's is flavor of the night means?"

Zeyt laughs when I that, "It's too early for you to learn that thing, Sis. Don't bother thinking about that it will make your headache much and much worse." He laughs and continues driving.

We're quite the whole ride when I notice, He turns in the wrong direction. I didn't mind at first maybe he'll just buy something or he is bringing me somewhere but... he went in the wrong direction Ten times. This isn't right.

I twist my body and look at him. "Zeyt, where are we..." I stop myself when I notice his face. He was sweating and his jaw is moving aggressively. His hands are gripping the staring wheel tightly, I could see his veins. "Zeyt is everything okay?" I'm starting to freak out now even if I don't know what's happening.

He didn't answer me and focus on the road. His adam's apple moves up and down. I try to look outside if they are something and when I look at the rearview mirror, there are two black vans behind us. I'm not sure but when Zeyt turn left and left again. The van is still behind us!

"Z-zeyt." I called out the name of my brother.

"Amea... don't panic... we are being followed."
