Zee's POV
"Want me to drive you home?" i suggested, getting up from my seat as I walked towards him.
He press his lips together, looking up to me.
"Is it.. Okay?" i chuckled softly.
"Of course,"
"I'm scared of walking alone in the dark."
My eyes deepened, he shouldn't be, not when I always watch him from afar.
I sigh, "Come on, grab your things I'll wait for you outside." he nods, walking to the back room.
-
"Thanks for driving me home, Zee." he spoke, smiling softly.
"Anytime. Just call me if you need me."
"Okay, it's late, you should go now."
I nod as he waves goodbye before I started driving.
Halfway through my driving, I was startled when someone shot my bike making me fall in the middle of the streets.
I groaned, looking around not even seeing anyone.
"Fuck, my bike." i got up, walking towards it as I saw the wheel of it, broken as fuck.
"Russell." i muttered, I'm sure he did these to trap me.
He was somewhere around here.
Footsteps neared behind me making me turn to see four men, holding weapons.
Most of it were daggers, fuck.
"I didn't know Russell had sidekicks."
- Next Day -
NuNew's POV
I hummed, Russell is late today..
I wonder why.
"I can't open the Café unless he's here.." i sigh, taking out my phone as I dialed him.
It rang, and rang.
Then no answer.
I tried again.
But no answer, what's with him..?
I scrolled through my contacts, noticing Zee's number.
I bit my lower lip, hesitating to call him.
"Just call me if you need me."
I sigh, turning my phone off instead.
"What should I do.. I can't work alone today.."
I should just close for today.
-
I put my keys on my bag, walking on the sidewalk with some people.
What should I do? Stay home or..
I don't know..
I wanna see Zee so badly..
I miss him.
Should I call him? But maybe he's busy.
Whatever.. I'll just go back home.
- Later -
I went out of my apartment to eat at a convenience store.
"Eating here?" the cashier says as I nod, "You come here alot." i hummed.
"Here, eat it for free tonight." i look at him, eyes widened slightly.
"A-Are you sure sir?" he chuckles.
"Just don't let my boss find out." i smiled, thanking him as I ate near the window.
-
"Thank you sir!" i say as he nods before I left.
While I walked back to my apartment, I noticed a man in an alley, licking his lips as my eyes widened realizing
it was Zee.
"Z-Zee?" he turns to look at me as I gasped.
His face was slightly bleeding.
I ran towards him, "What happened to you?"
He just stood infront of me, silent "Your bleeding!"
"I'm fine."
"Your not. Come, I have kit at my apartment." i pulled at his wrist but he pulled away.
"I said I'm fine, NuNew." i look at him as he wipes the blood off his face with his hand.
"Are you sure?"
"Just go, you shouldn't be out here alone."
"Your face is-"
"Go." he cuts me off.
I look down, nodding.
"Sorry, I'll go." he clenches his jaw as I started walking away.
Zee's POV
"Fuck."
I shouldn't have talked to him like that.
"Don't be harsh on him Zee, I know your attitude."
I nod, "Alright, boss."
"I'm sorry boss." i sigh.
I wanna follow him, I wanna say sorry and get him to treat my face that's still bleeding after last night.
Fuck it.
I followed him, walking on the sidewalk when I heard screaming.
I froze.
"NuNew.."
That was his voice.
Shit.
