Our NeverEnding dream

CHAPTER TWO

{ZAYN}

 It's been a year already.

 The hallway is filled with sun rays but my life has always been gloomy without her.

How the hell am I still alive without the sunshine in my life? I miss you, sunshine.

I get a text from Noah. That bastard.

Noah: Hello kid, wanna hang out with Josh?

Zayn: Cut the crap. Tell me where he is.

Noah: Well...

Zayn: If you ain't gonna tell me where he is, I swear I'll fucking kill you.

Noah: Calm down man XD

He's at the park nearby.

The park nearby? He thinks this is a play-date of avengers? That damn coward must out of his mind. I am not going to let go of him today.

I quickly shove my phone into the pocket of my ripped jeans and make sure the door is locked up before I start to rush down the hallway.

It's 1:34 p.m. and Ryan won't be returning to the dorm till evening. I have to deal with this shit and return back to the room before Ryan does.

***

I reach the park down street and look around for the signs of Joshua. He's not seen anywhere.

I suddenly hear someone calling out my name and I turn to my right.

"Aww, you are such a dumbass, aren't you?" Noah has a stupid grin on his face which makes me want to break his teeth right now.

"Where is that goddamn idiot?" I clench my fists, trying to control my anger.

"Look who's saying. The reckless idiot who couldn't even protect his girl" He chuckles. His words penetrate into my heart which is slowly solidifying and now it explodes like lava.

Yes. I am a reckless creature.

And yes, I lost her by my own recklessness.

But

"I was maybe careless but Josh was the one who caused all of this shit!" I clench my jaw and glare at him.

"Oh now you are pushing all the blame onto me, my little Zayn?" That voice. Joshua?

"Shut up Joshua. You are going to regret messing with me!"

"As if" Joshua chuckles. "It's already been a year. Just get over with it, can't ya?"

My blood starts to boil. Get over with it? Is that what he thinks is the right way to let go of the person I hold dear to my heart? "Are you fucking serious? You think she ran away from me like a  little girl who sulked at me? I lost her forever damn it!"

"Now now, just chill dude. We both know that was all your fault" He stares at me with his arms crossed and smirks.

"What did you just say, you bastard!" My legs start to make their way on their own towards him. I raise my right fist and punch him in the face and he stumbles back.

Joshua stares at me in shock and before I could punch him again, I feel something hard pressed against my lower back and my knees collapse into the sand. I try to look back at Noah but Joshua already gets on his feet again and hits my left shoulder with his right foot. I shut my eyes for a moment and wince in pain.

I can't back off now. My mind is filled with that last year's incident causing me to break more. I am not a useless idiot.

I open my eyes and reach for Joshua's right leg, pull it forward and bend it back towards his knee. He grunts in pain as he falls onto the sand in front of me. I use my right foot to kick Noah's knee caps behind me and quickly stand up.

"If you ever dare to come near Ryan again, I am going to kill you both for sure!" I kick either of their arms facing in my direction and walk away.

***

Dang it! It's already 3:50 p.m. Ryan will be returning from the library any minute now-

I rush into the elevator before the doors were about to close. I breathe in and out heavily for a few moments when I feel my heart skip a beat as my gaze falls on her.

Is she?

My phone rings. I take it out of my pocket and when I look at the caller's name, my blood starts to boil. Why is Noah calling me again? I attend his call quickly and hang up after I yell at him. My sound actually echoes in the elevator, making me tremble.

My attention then quickly shifts towards her.

I open my eyes wide as I look the girl at her again. She's got wavy, brown hair and thick brown eyebrows, her eyes like two pools of honey. Her cheeks are a bit plump and rosy. Even her height, her posture.They are similar.Wait, am I dreaming?

I snap out of my trance by her voice and then I quickly shake my head to realize she is not the one I thought to be. I must be out of my mind because of all the things happening lately. When it reaches the sixth floor, I quickly get off the elevator and sigh in relief when I notice that the last room on the left side along this hallway is still closed, meaning Ryan hasn't returned yet.
