Dimmed Star: The Queen of Actica

Chapter 6: saved again

*A/N: Serene up☝️, that's how I imagined her and don't she have beautiful eyes😘😍. Okay no more noise🤐, to the story.*

"Vil?" Melvil turn to look at the bouncing boy next to him watching his twinkling eyes and the way his curly hair bounced up and down as he jump with a mischievous smile plastered on his cute face.

"Yes Ashton" he replied to the bundle of joy who's his younger brother and the only blood he considered.

"Are we gonna  live with Serene?" He asked hope filling his grey eyes.

"I-I don't really know" Melvil sighed as he answered the boy not wanting to break his enthusiastic brother's hope of living with his favourite star.

"But you know how you find her, what if she still wanna give up on living if we live her to go?" He asked now sounding worried at the the thought of losing her.

"Don't stress your cute mind Ash, everything will be fine,okay?"

"Okay brother" Ashton responded to his brother and they resume their daily walk to school, but the insecure feeling of all is not right that started after Ashton's concern didn't go away from Melvil as he continued to think of the possibility of that eventually happening.

They eventually reached their school separating from each other at the hallway as they all approached their group of friends,more precisely Melvil approached his group of friends and they walk up to their lockers getting their books for the day.

As the first class started,Melvil completely zoned out the teacher falling into thoughts of the dimmed Star he left at home who almost killed herself if he hadn't saw her last night, then it will be different news circulating around today.

What if she still hasn't given up on taking her own life? What if she leave and commit it? What if she do it outside the house? What if it wasn't safe to leave her alone as Ashton said. Melvil continued to have all these 'what if' thoughts to the extent his head start to hurt.

'It wouldn't hurt to check on her, will it?' He thought before he was interrupted by a tap on his shoulder.

"Melvil are you okay?" His bestfriend beside him asked looking into his eyes with worry but instead of answering, it was as if Melvil was electrocated on his seat as he quickly got up taking his bag and running out of the class with a yell of-

"Am okay, I'll see you around" and he bolted out of the school running home without his brain even suggesting his friend to give him a ride home.

He ran down the downstreet as his heart continued to hammer loudly in his chest and that nagging feeling overwhelming him with the possibility.

Melvil ran into the house immediately after reaching his street and start to frantically search the dimmed star in the small apartment, he searched the living room and the kitchen in case she was in there, and when he didn't see her, he called her name walking into his bedroom.

"Serene?,Serene" silence fell upon him as the name bounced back to his ear in the quite house and panic start settling in him before he quickly calm himself with the thought of her being in the  bathroom although the voice in his head keep saying 'why didn't she answer him,afterall the apartment isn't that big for his voice to get lost without reaching it destination.

The voice wouldn't quite down until his eyes set on the unpacked luggage of Serene that he brought with her last night.

Melvil walk up to the door in the room which is the bathroom and gently knocked on it calling Serene's name softly waiting for response.

"Serene? Serene are you in there?" He asked but no response came making him frown as worry and fear start crippling his mind.

"Serene am coming in now!" He declared opening the door and jumping into the bathroom.
