Accidentally Falling in Love

Going to the Mall Together

*The Next Day* 

P.I.X.A.L’s P.O.V:

I woke up to Zane caressing my cheek. I smiled at him as I put my hand on top of his that was on my cheek. 

“Good morning, my beautiful nindroid,” Zane said. 

“Good morning, Zane,” I giggled. 

I sat up in bed and Zane sat down on my bed as well. 

“Are you excited for today?” Zane asked. 

Oh, I had forgotten that we were going shopping today and I had to do my best to make him spend on me, so I can give the things that I get to Jair. 

“Y-yes,” I said, looking away.

“What happened? Is everything alright?” Zane asked. 

“Yes, yes, it is. I'm just a little tired,” I said. 

“If you want more sleep, then you can have it. I can leave,” Zane said. 

“No! I enjoy your company and I'm not that tired that I will go to sleep,” I said. 

“Ok, well let me know if you need anything,” Zane said. 

I nodded. 

“Should I get ready?” I asked. 

“Of course! We will go after eating breakfast and we will eat lunch there,” Zane said. 

“Sounds good,” I said. 

Zane kissed me on the cheek and left. Why was his touch so comforting? Was he the one? Why was it that whenever he appeared before me, I would feel butterflies in my stomach? Was I feeling for him? Is that a good thing? What would Jair do when he finds out? 

So many questions runned through my head and I just lay back as I closed my eyes. After a long deep breath, I decided to get up and do my bed. Then, I went to brush. After brushing, I went to check if my clothes were on the bed.

There lay an oversized purple sweater with baggy tan pants. I picked it up and went to go shower. I stood in front of the mirror after I had showered. I wore my pants and stared at my stomach which had a large cut on it. When water would touch the cut, it would hurt and I would start crying. 

This cut had been here for two months now. Jair had given it to me after he had gone to the bar for two hours. He had come back home and noticed that I was cleaning the house. That is when he found me a target. That night can never leave my mind, I will always remember it. 

Tears fell down my eyes as I stared into the mirror. I am so ugly! Why was I even created?! Why did I, an ugly creature have to be made?! 

I eyed the makeup that was on the counter. Zane said that I don't need it. But, I do! Tears swallowed my eyes. I threw the makeup on the ground as it shattered. I took a deep breath in and out. Zane would never lie to me, I need to come to my senses. 

I washed my face and wore my sweater. I put my silver hair in a ponytail and looked at myself. Either Zane is right or Jair is. But, Zane has never lied to me and Jair has. 

I walked downstairs as this was making my head hurt. I just need to get the job done, nothing can distract me! Zane had breakfast ready when I reached downstairs. As I ate, I noticed Zane staring at me. 

“P.I.X.A.L, you are truly beautiful! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise,” Zane said. 

I gulped on my food. A wave of love and satisfaction hit me. 

“Your emerald green eyes are so pretty! They are like the forest of the Earth. Whenever you stare at me with those eyes, you make me want to crumble,” Zane said.
