"Return of his soul"

chapter 2

To feel the story, must listen the songs.

4 days have passed:

I woke up from sleep and found out I am in the hospital.

"Oh my gosh, Sezal, you woke up! Dear, you scared us," mom said, gripping my hand.

"What happened to me? Why am I here?" Mom tried to avoid my gaze. "Mom, I'm asking something. Why am I here?" I said, raising my voice.

"You lost your best friend Leo in an accident 4 days ago. You've been lying here for 4 days. Sezal, please don't harm yourself again," mom started crying.

As I recalled the whole scenario, my heart started beating faster. I was drenched in sweat and tears. Before I got a chance to say a word, my throat choked on my words, and I went unconscious again.

4th Dec 2022:

6 months have already passed, and it seems like that accident happened yesterday. In these months, I've gone to church more often than ever! I beg God to return my Leo daily, but of course, once the alive become dead, no one can bring them to life again. Yesterday, I tried to hurt myself, and now I have a plaster on my wrists.

It feels like with this accident, I lost myself. I was a fitness freak, and I loved to do basic skincare and bodycare, but now I stink. I need to buy new skincare products.

My family is not so rich; we can hardly afford luxuries. I work in a 5-star hotel as a manager. They paid me enough to afford a house, groceries, and my basic skincare stuff. Even in the time of trauma, I didn't take a day off.

I tied my hair in a large bun, wore a black crop top and olive cargo, and without hesitation, I grabbed bag and started walking toward the bus stop. While I was walking, I saw new neighbors in my neighborhood. Out of curiosity, I asked the sweeper who was loading trash into the truck.

"Hey, Jasper! Who are they?" he replied with a stunned look. "Don't you know them?" "If I did, why would I ask you?" I rolled my eyes.

"That is the Schwarz family!" he pointed at their mansion. "Wow!! I don't believe this. In just a few months, they built a mansion in our neighborhood, and we are clueless," I snapped a photo.

"Sezal, how are you now? Your mom told me about the situation when you stopped leaving the house for jogging," he sent me a worried look. "Ummmm," before I said something, a tall, handsome man approached us.

"Hey, you!! Girl!" he took my Instacam out of my hands. "Excuse me? What are you doing?" I raised my voice at him. "Yeah, that's what I should ask. Are you a paparazzi?" "do I look like one?" I pouted 

"taking photo of my mansion, suspiciously talking to a garbage collector? what do I think", His nose got wrinkles.

 "Think whatever you want, just give my camera back to me " My nostrils flared. I was mad at him. I snatched my camera and left.

"Did I do something wrong?" Miller asked Jasper. "she is just upset, recently her pet died and now she is coping with it",  Jasper patted his shoulder and left.

"wow so now Billionaires are our neighbors, which means, more rich people will come to this street, which means, anyone from school can find I live here", I said to myself and  made a harsh gasped.  

I gathered my stuff from a drug store and went straight home. From tomorrow, I want to look clean. 

5th Dec 2022

It's my last year in high school. Luckily, we don't have to wear uniforms. My go-to outfits are full-sleeve crop tops with cargo or hoodies. Today, I just chose a white crop top with dark blue flared jeans. I am 5'4" now, 

so I don't have to wear heels. That's why I just picked my favorite white joggers and a decent watch. At least I can say to myself that Sezal, you look better than before. I am trying to move on from this trauma.

As I enter the hallway, most of my haters stared at me with confusion, as they were enjoying my trauma and think I would never come back to school.

 Every school has a trio of rich bitches who steal everyone's boyfriend. They bullied me throughout the years for being broke, and here we go again!

"Look who woke up from sleep?" said Eve, making me the center of attention.

"No, no, no, girls, don't get close to her. You can get a bird disease. Hahaha," Morgan said, hitting my shoulder with hers. She is a rich baddie.

"Fine! I know you hate me, but what do you want?" I said, folding my arms with a resting bitch face.

"You are a murderer of your own pet. We wonder how you appear so fresh? You must be in jail," said Chanty, pushing me in the chest.

I don't know what to say in my defense. They got my weakness. My eyes were wet, and my body was numb. I couldn't move. I tried to step up, but Morgan was standing on my open shoelace, and Eve pushed me from behind while laughing at me.

"Leave this school, you ugly rat," Eve pushed me so hard while laughing at me. The hallway was full of laughter from these evil people. No wonder I missed my lovely bird so much. My inner self calls Leo whenever I'm in pain because he knows how to comfort me.

Before I fell to the ground, someone caught me. I looked up at his gray eyes as they pierced my soul just by looking at them. Our faces are inches apart. He is furious. I can feel it through the heat of his aura.

"Wait, is that Miller Schwarz?" Everyone was in shock.

"Hey! are you okay?" Miller asked in a low voice. He held my hand and helped me in standing up.

"Are you all humans? Or people of the circus?" he asked, raising his voice. "If a person is going through trauma, you must be cheering them instead! here you all , laughing on someone getting bullied" he said, looking at those bitches.

"What are you doing at our school?" Morgan asked, correcting her posture and pulling her shirt down little so her non-existent cleavage could show up.

"None of your business," Miller said, raising his eyebrow. he was about to leave, but she held his hand. he looked at her with his furious eyes,

 "I am transferred here. Got your answer? Now leave my hand," he shook his head aggressively. A random guy was drinking water from a bottle. He snatched it and washed his hands with the water.

Everyone was cheering his badass move. "I'm Miller Schwarz, everyone! . I'm fearless of your childish bullying. Know that if I see anyone bullying a weak person again, you would look for that person on Earth, but I will make it as if the person never existed," he fisted tightly.

"You know, Miller schwarz , this is my school, so I can do whatever I want," Morgan said with a creepy smirk. "Oh, really? How about if I buy your whole school?" He grinned and everyone cheered his come back.

"who are you? A Millionaire?", she rolled her eyes. " A Multi Billionaire", he said in a husky voice and left the hallway. while two of the bitches were drooling after him, and Morgan was standing there quietly looking at me disgustingly, 

After 4 periods of classes, recess happened. I have a spot in school under a large neem tree where mostly cool kids don't go. People like emos or loners go to that ground, while half of the students stay at the cafeteria.

I was listening to some sad music. Anyway, I was trying to understand Miller and why he helped me? That man was indeed attractive. Gray eyes, 5'9" no, 5'8" nah, 5'11" yeah, that's it. Well-built body, perfect teeth, sharp jawline, brown light  beard.

He must have a lot of girlfriends, anyways who cares. as per my calculations, he looks nearly 28 or 29.

 I felt a warm energy around me thou I looked left and right my gaze could find him, while He was standing behind me.

"You think I'm that old?" I felt his breath on my neck.
