Chapter-105

Author's POV

She didn't look behind. She didn't want to. She knew if she turned back...she might change her mind. She didn't want to leave. She didn't want to leave him.

But....fate had other plans for her.

She was expecting him to stop her. She thought he would run behind her and hold her tightly...not letting her go.

A strong pair of arms circled her waist. For a second she thought it was Donovan. But it wasn't him.

She looked at his black eyes looking at her with concern.

She threw herself in his arms and buried her face in his hard chest.

" He is so heartless Leon...he is... hurting me..why..why is this happening to me..I don't want to feel this pain...this is so painful. I shouldn't have lo--....this feels so wrong now...I feel like a loser. I hate myself, Leon...I hate myself!" she cried, holding onto his tee-shirt tightly.

Leon clenched his jaws as her painful cries did something to him.

He knew Rose was innocent in this game. He knew Rose didn't deserve anything that was happening to her or anything that had happened to her.

He tried putting some sense into his friend's mind but failed.

Broken sobs echoed in the silent hallways of the basement. She was crying hysterically.

" Why did you both kidnap me Leon...am I just a thing..an object...? he used me for his fucked up revenge! I am a human...I have a heart...you guys are so heartless. Why can't he understand that he is hurting me? Why?" she pulled back from his embrace and looked into his misty black eyes with an accusing glare.

Her fists tightened their hold on his shirt. Leon clenched and unclenched his jaws being unable to meet her accusing eyes.

" It hurts here...I can't take this pain anymore" She said loosening her grip on his shirt. Leon breathed out shakily. " I feel like dying...I shouldn't have caught his attention at all. That guy would not have to go through so much...if it wasn't for me. It's because of me...I am the problem. I understand now. He is right. I should stay away from everyone." she wiped her tears and inhaled sharply.

Leon gritted his teeth. He wanted to console her but he knew he was in no position to utter consoling words to her.

" I want to go home...I want to see my papa...." she mumbled looking at Leon with teary eyes. Leon nodded.

Leon pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. The words which failed to escape his lips were conveyed through his comforting hug.

" I'm sorry Rose..." he mumbled, rubbing her back softly.

Rose cried, burying her face in his chest. She wanted a shoulder to lean on and cry her heart out.

No words were exchanged for a brief minute. Her soft cries were the only sound echoing in the hallways.

All the anger, frustration and heartbreak.... escaped in the form of tears.

" Take me home" She said, pulling back from the hug. Her voice was barely audible.

Leon cupped her cheeks and wiped her tears.

" Fine...let's go" he whispered.

Without nodding, she walked past him. Leon looked at his extended hands and sighed. He looked back, a pair of green eyes were watching him. If not for his misty eyes, one could easily consider that he looked unbothered.
