"Be... Bernard.... he... tried..... he... hurt" I cried.

"don't worry, he's into a big slumber...I primary promise you, he'll apologize to you first thing tomorrow morning" he said, stroking my hair.

"I wanna..... go.... home" I stuttered.

TWO SCARS FROM TWO STUPID BOYS...

"Ok! come on!"

"Mom would be.....a... angry, if she sees me like this" I said breaking into another cry.

NOW I'M GETTING HIS LOVE DOING THIS! I SURE HE HADN'T SEEN THE SCAR.....

He broke the hug, as we both strolled down to the direction of his car. while I ordered, my car to be taken home by Zimba. as we zommed of to the car.

"This Is your room!" Zara said after walking into two GOOD HALLWAYS!

SO FRUSTRATING!

"so how's Mom?" I asked Zara, who was staring at me.

"she attended a party with ya Mom and Ann's mom!" she said, jumping on the bed.

"Ok! I think I need to sleep"

"Ok! I'll leave!" Zara said with a wink as she left.

"now you sleep while I tuck you to bed" Fred said,

"goodnight...." I said nervously.

"Night" he said, tucking me to bed poised to leave.

"Wait! Fred!..."

"urghh... me?" he said, flicking the lights on.

"fool! yes, you!" I blurted, rolling my eyes.

"what?" he asked, his gaze fixed on me.

OH, GUY HE'VE MADE ME SHY... MTCHEWW!

"Well, I'm sorry for ask I've put you through! I'm sorry... it feels weird saying the "S" word. well, this is my first and last time I'm even gonna this sorry of a word! Ok! and a "thank you".

"its that all you wanna say?" he asked, his face dropping in disappointment.

"Well, yeah n"

"Ok! I'll be going....."

"And errr..... one more thing....!" I said, fiddling with the edges of my cloth.

"what?" he asked, his gaze intensely boring into my eyes.

I gulped down my saliva...

"say it!" he urged, his face lit up in expectation.

"Well, I think... err.... forget it!" I said returning to the bed.

"say it please!"

"Ok!.... I'm shy! I think, I like....errr.... you!" I said, nervously.

"What? what did you say?' he asked, his eyes wide.

"what you heard!"

"I didn't get it"

"then forget it!" I said lowly, looking down to my nails.

"say it na!"

"mtcheww! leave me! I said I.... like you! leave me!" I screamed, hitting him playfully at the back.

"Can't hear you"

" Fred I said....I like you! now let me be!"

"really?"

"that's why I said that three good times" I screamed.

He drew me in for a bone crushing hug.

THAT COLOGNE! GEEZ! WHAT ARE YOU?

I WAS SUFFOCATING!

"Fred.....I...can't...bre.....bre...breathe.....and.....I'm.....hurting....." I stuttered.

"ohhh, sorry!" he said giving me a lighter hug.

"what about you?" I asked, praying for a positive answer.

"I LOVE YOU, ZIKORA!"

"lies, but, you love Ann!" I said, pulling him away.

"No, that was to get you jealous, boo!" he blurted, realizing what he said he mouth palmed himself.

"what!" I frowned.

"hey, don't look at me! you did that with Bernard to get me, right?" he asked, looking sternly at my neck.

HAS HE SEEN IT?

"Hey, who did this? Zizi! answer me!" he said, caressing the wounded area.

"ouch!... that hurts!" I screamed.

"Answer Me! WHO DID THIS?" He yelled.

"Whoah! calm down, ok?" I said.

"Zikora! please!"

Everything that transpired between I and Bernard vividly played in my memory. my eyes were glassy, ready to cry!

"Bernard Right?" he asked, pulling me in for another hug.

"yeah!" I sobbed.

"don't worry, go to sleep!" he said going for his drawer with him a mini first aid kit in which he used in treating my wind before he retired to his room.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"please, don't kill him! kill me instead!" I pleaded, standing in front of Fred.

"Hey, Ann drop the gun!" Bernard yelled.

"Bernard stay away or I'll shoot you! she took Fred away from me and you expect me to drop the gun! NO! N-O!" The vicious looking Ann, who had the face of an oracle said.

"please Ann!" I pleaded.

"ONE! TWO! THREE!" She counted.

Fred went in front of me.

"Fred! no please!" I yelled breaking down into tears.

"FOUR! FIVE!" She said, pulling the trigger.

Fast I was, I pushed Fred away from the but from hitting him. the bullet firing into my tummy.

"NO! NO!" was the last word I heard before I blacked out.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"NO! NO! NO! FRED! FRED!" I screamed, beads of sweat formed on my forehead.

"what's wrong?" Fred asked rushing into my room.

"Fred, she's gonna... gonna... kill..... kill you!" I screamed breaking into tears.

"who?" he asked, his voice laced with worry and concern.

"A-A-Ann! Fred! she's... she's gonna..... kill you!" I cried.

"its just a dream!" he said trying to calm me down.

"its so real to be a dream! Fred, she....." I said, feeling dizzy.

"Zizi! calm down!" he said, pulling me for a hug.

I felt more comfortable and safe in his arms! I only sobbed.

"Fred! we won't go to school!" I said command laced in my tone.

"We have exams! and where the hell will Ann get a gun! she can't kill me" Fred said, wiping my tears.

"exams?"

"yeah! take your bath.. you can wear any of Zara's uniform cause she has double of it all. the cook is done! get ready for breakfast...ok?"

"sure!" I said still kinda trembling.

He wiped my tears with his thumb, giving me the thumbs up as he stood up and left.
