ZARA

Chapter 25: life savers

They finally reached school and once they got out of the bus they all flipped off the bus driver.

"Not gonna lie though that was pretty fun." Zara mentioned as they walked to the entrance of their school.
"It really was." Angel mention with a smile
"See... I told you! You just got to live a little." Zara exclaimed linking arms with her.

"Guys look." Leo pointed "He definitely one of the agents." He added
"Ugh. Just avoid them we don't need anyone." Owen laughed dapping up Leo.
Zara and Angel looked at each other kind of reading off what their facial expression was.

"Well honestly, we barely gotta way and nearly got shot." Zara said in defence has she stopped walking and they stopped with her.
"Exactly...we saved your asses." Leo bragged and both girls rolled their eyes
"Your not hearing me." She muttered starting to get annoyed.

"If you guys didn't show up Angel and I would have been dead. And all you guys seem to care about it how you saved the day....we are still traumatized about what happened. Like you keep rubbing it in everyone's face that you saved the fucking day." She snapped.

"Let's be real Angel and I aren't strong enough to handle what ever crew Aron has. And you life savers won't always be there... so if these agents are protecting us. LET THEM stop making jokes about something you didn't experience." She hissed as her and Angel stormed off.

"Fuck." Owen says watching them walk away
"Should we chase after them?" Leo says
"No, I think we should give them their space." Owen answers. "Now that I think about it we were being kind of dicks. Especially me to Linda." He added
"Do you think Angels mad too." Leo asked scratching the back of his head
"Of course she is. She just doesn't say anything."

The bell rang as they walked to the entrance of their school and went to there classes.

———
Class started for Zara and they had groups for an upcoming project. She was with Marty and Owen.
And they all sat together.
"Where have you guys been, I've been calling all night." Marty asked them
"A lot of shit has happened that I can't tell you Mar, but soon." Owen uttered looking at Zara who had her head down.
"You guys are so weird." Marty scoffed as he walked over to the cabinets to get some supplies.

"Are you gonna talk to me or no." Owen grumbled leaning over to her with a whisper. And she didn't respond.
"Look I'm sorry alright? I honestly didn't know how bad this affected you." He sighed.

"Marty pass me the paint brush please." She rolled her eyes ignoring him.
"Zara." He called on her.
"Thank you." She threw him a fake half smile taking the paint brush from Marty's hand.

"Zara!" He yelled. As the class stared at him.
"Can you not make a scene, I'm trying to learn." Zara whispered to him in annoyance.
"Fuck okay, I'm sorry.. please don't be mad at me anymore." He pleaded "I won't leave you alone till you forgive me Zara."

Zara ignored him.
She raised her hand up to ask to go to the bathroom.
While he watched her walk out the classroom, he waited till the teacher didn't see him and followed her.

"Zara!" she continued to walk away from him.

He stormed up to her and turned her around gripping her shoulders.
"Stop it please. I'm sorry" he pleaded with her
"Owen I heard you. I just want space right now." She
Stated looking away.

" No." He rebuked
"Excuse me?!"
"I'm not letting you out of my sight, I'll be here just in case something happens."
"Oh my gosh Owen... go to class." She rolled her eyes
and crossed her arms

"I said no."
"Well can you let go of me then." She asked with an annoyed expression.
"No."
"Why not."
"Because I need you to forgive me.... please, I honestly had no idea." He pleaded
she rolled her eyes and began to squirm around in his grip. So he didn't let go of her.

Zara continued to squirm in his grip and some how managed to turn around. He held her tight this time wrapping his arms around her stomach with her arms still crossed. As they both bent down.

She went into a panic. That's the exact same way the man held her, she felt his dirty hands all over her again.
"Owen please let go of me." She uttered silently clenching her jaw trying to stay cool.

He held her tighter not knowing what she was signalling. Rubbing himself on her. Just like the way the man did.
And she lost it.

"OWEN LET GO OF ME." She shouted and he instantly let go.
She quickly turned around to face him and slapped him across the face. Hard.
His face shifted to the side as he held his right cheek and he placed forward to look at her.

"YOUR NOT HEARING ME." She shouted again as the tone in her voice got squishy
"That's the EXACT SAME POSITION Aron's friend had me in as he tried to kidnap me." She hissed at him as the rasp in her voice rose and tears poured from her eyes.

"Oh my gosh Z I'm so-"
"WHAT? HUH? SORRY?" She raged interrupting him.
He didn't say anything after.
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME."
She cried as she stormed away from him to the girls bathroom.

————
Fuck fuck fuck. I messed up really bad this time. He thought to himself as he ran his hands through his head trying to think.
He kept replaying her slap to him and her tears falling to her cheek.
And it hurt him knowing that he hurt her.
"Shit!" He mumbled as he walked back to class, on this way he punched one of the lockers creating a dent in it and shook his fist and continued.

Zara got to the bathroom and dropped to the floor in tears. Was he only using me for my body she thought to herself. Bringing her knees up close to her and wrapped her arms around them.
The tears continued as the memories flooded back all over again.
I hate him. She thought again as she sobbed.

He stormed back into his class and took a chair from one of the desks and sat down aggressively in a huff. His leg was moving up and down repeatedly trying to think.
"What the fuck happened." Marty asked watching Owens angry expression
He wanted to tell him everything but he was scared it would only make things worse.
"Nothing." He murmured as tears built up in his eyes
"You look upset bro just tell me." Marty asked him again.
"Nothing I swear." Has he wiped a tear that fell from his eye.
He realized that he might have lost her forever.
