Scared to love

I love you

                  Akira's POV

I went to the library and saw Mia sitting on the table right beside the window.

"Hey!!!" She chirped as she noticed me

"Hi" I said and opened my psychology book.

"How is everything with Zac?" She hushed to avoid all the glare

"Can we talk about that later. You tell me any news on the Dylan front" I asked to change the topic.

Dylan was in the baseball team and Mia had a crush on him since forever but she never did anything about it.

"Uh....not really and I heard he is dating Sasha. So....." She said looking outside the window.

"Hey don't be upset." I reassured and she gave me aa unsatisfied smile.

The day went on I met Kurt and Jason and learnt about Jason's new fling. I tried ignoring Zac which was partly successful at. I stuck with the girls and the boys didn't let him follow me around.

I had EVS on the last period where I wanted to sit beside Aaron which I usually do but he ignored my existence and sat with someone else.

I went to my locker and took my belongings. I didn't see Zac on the way out so, I headed towards my car but to my surprise it was not there.

"Lift?" A very familiar voice asked

"Zac what did you do to my car?" I groaned

"I may or may not have called Teressa and told her that we have plans after school and we will be late" Zac smirked

"No thank you I will go with someone else" I said and Zac stepped closer

"You are not going anywhere without me I tolerated you ignoring me all day. It's almost been 15hrs since I kissed you. I know I fucked up I am really sorry for everything. Now please give me a chance to explain myself" his voice full of sincerity , his playfulness was long gone.

I nodded and he mumbled a thank you. The car ride was absolutely silent I was overthinking what might happen.

We didn't take our usual way to the nearby restaurants. The car finally stopped in front of a restaurant which looked really cozy and it was filled with people our age.

We went to the reception and Zac handed over a paper and we were headed to the roof top

It was beautiful with glass walls with fairy lights. There were very few people here mostly couples. We took a seat at the corner.

                Third person's POV
(A/N: I know some of you don't like this but I can't keep switching POVs as we will witness both of there inner thoughts and feelings together)

Akira was thrilled by the view and was lost in it. Her reverie broke when Zac asked Akira to order something.

Zac was still not confident about him confessing but he was quite determined to clean the mess he had created. Whereas Akira had no clue why he'd lie to her.

"What did you want to talk about?" Akira asked

"I will tell but please promise me you won't be mad at me" Zac said inhaling sharply.

Akira was too scared to answer. Zac though waited for her reply gave up quite soon.

"I.....I......I lo...." Zac stammered continuously which was getting Akira a bit more intrigued.

"I love you. There I said it" Zac did actually say that but the person it was addressed to sat there still.

Akira batted her eye continuously. She had thought thousands of things by now but these were the 3 words she least expected

"I am sorry. Forget I ever said that I just didn't know what to do. I asked maa she said I should confess to you. I am sorry I am sorry angel I really.." Zac got restless for an answer but he stopped his rant when he felt a familiar hand on his

"Don't be. I am sorry Zac. I am grateful that you feel this way but but.... I...I don't know, I am sorry I don't feel the same way. I really like you I love spending time with you but love....I don't know." Akira couldn't hold back her tears.

She never wanted to hurt Zac. But after Noah wounded her soul she was too scared to love.

Zac couldn't bare his angel cry so he changed his seat and sat right beside her.

"Hey! Hey it's fine okay. It's not a crime to not feel the same way. I'll wait however long it takes I will wait." Zac assured Akira. They were lost into each other's eyes when the waiter served them.

As soon as the waiter left Akira placed her lips on Zac's.

"And about the morning I didn't want to face you because all I could think about was confessing to you. That's why I lied and I went to school early when Melissa came and invited me to some party. I am sorry I will never lie to you promise" Zac said breaking the kiss.

"It's ok" Akira said and gave him a beautiful smile

Zac was now back to his old self when he knew that Akira was neither mad nor did she have any intention of breaking up with him.

Rest of the night was beautiful as it always were when they were together. They talked and talked , and at one point they absolutely forget how uncomfortable they were few moments ago.

Soon the night came into an end and both of them reaching there home were emersed into their thoughts.

Akira felt guilty about not feeling the same way. But she couldn't help her mind kept thinking the same thing. Did she still love Noah was that the reason she couldn't reciprocate Zac's feelings?

Zac was relieved that Akira was not hurt but he also felt bad that Akira didn't feel the same way about him.
