"Hey its okay Merlin. We are happy to see you again that's all matter now. " Amy said hugging me.

I smiled at her knowingly.

Jack looked at me folding his arm under his chest leaning on the nearest wall.
He scowled at me his jaw ticking. I glared at him venomously.

I turned towards the sound of footsteps. There stood two guys and one girl who is of Jac's age.

I pulled jac away and wiped her tears.
She smiled through her glassy eyes and kissed me.

"Who is this cutie?" Julie cooed at Jac.

"Iam Jacqueline" She introduced charming them with her innocent smile .

I stood up turning towards the other guys who are smiling at me.

"You are so hot." A guy with blonde hair exclaimed with a exaggerated wink making me narrow my eyes at him.
He walked towards me extending his hand.

"Issac" He introduced with a gleeful smile. I took his hand hesitantly.He winked at me. Well I can't lie but he is definitely easy on eyes.

I shook my head withdrawing my hand.

"Jerks" I muttered under my breathe.

"Who? me or Jack" Issac asked smirking at me.

I smiled innocently at him.

"Oh sorry of course both of you" I said turning away.Another guy chuckled.

"Fiesty...Iam Ethan and Iam sorry for both of them" He smiled at me genuinely. I smiled back relieved Atleast someone is stable here.

"Merlin" I extended my hand which he took for handshake.

"We know already." He said withdrawing his hand.

"I really admire you for your loyalty for your friends and... Iam sorry for Clara" He said looking away.

I smiled at him.

"Its okay" I said looking down. " It's not like your fault " I said looking at Jack.

Someone cleared their throat.I turned and looked at Jack.

"I think you are tried. You can take rest and we will call you for dinner " He said gesturing towards the stairs.

I frowned at him for his sudden sweetness.

"Yeah thats good idea come on." Amy said dragging me towards upstairs.

Jac ran towards me.I held her hand smiling.

"See you at dinner " Issac said saluting me making me chuckle.

Julie led us to upstairs and opened the door.

"Okay we are going to stay here as we only have three rooms. Two occupied by boys" Teena informed me.

"Here have this dress. Shower and take rest . We will see you later at dinner" She said hugging me.

I smiled at her. I stretched my limps causing it to pop. I winced at the sound.

"Hey i need some for Jac too" I said going through some packed items.

"Here " said small shy voice.

I turned to see a girl who i saw before.She smiled at me .

"Thanks" I said smiling at her.

"So whats your name?" I asked her grabbing some towel from the nearby rack. .

"Jade" she said shyly wringing her fingers.

"Cute" I said caressing her cheek.

I took the towel and dress entering the bathroom.I undressed myself and wrapped me in towel.Then undressed Jac.

I filled the tub with hot water and placed Jac inside it splashing her with water making her let out a gasp.

"Mommy!!!" I taken aback on hearing Jac saying that.I blinked my eyes at her.

"Yes sweetie" I asked smiling at her.

"Can i call you mommy?" She asked with hopeful eyes.

"Sure Jac" I said hugging her.I can feel tears from my eyes.We both got dressed and came out.

Amy and Jade sat on the bed laughing.Teena and Julie are discussing something.

Jade turned towards me smiling shyly.

"Hey merlin come and get some rest " Amy called me patting on the empty place.Jac ran towards Jade and they started to speak.

Iam happy that she got some company. I came near bed and took some snack that i picked from Jac's house.

I started to munch on some potato chips.

" Jac here have it" I took two granola bar and water bottle and handed to her.

She shared the another one to Jade which she accepted with smile.

I smiled at them at their innocence.

"So what happened to Clara?" Amy whispered looking down playing with hem of her dress.

I got to know Amy and Clara for two years only but they both are close since kinder garden.I started to say everything that happened .

Teena and Julie joined us.

"i---i----cant----save her" I muttered and started to cry on remembering the smile on her face and her last words.

"Hey its okay. Its not your fault" Teena ,Julie and Amy hugged me soothing me. We all shed tears for our lost friend.

"Ahem" We turned towards door way where Jack stood crossing his arm.
I glared at him.

Rage filled on seeing him again.

"You selfish bastard....you are reason for her death..If you have helped me she will be alive now" I yelled holding his collar. He pried my arm and pushed me on the wall crushing his body against me.

I winced at the impact.

"Jack please let her go" Amy pleaded,

"Shut up" Jack snapped at her making her gasp. How dare he!

"Don't touch me .Let me go" I struggled against him kicking and trashing.

"Don't say me what to do. As i said iam the reason your other friends are still alive and you are in some safe place." He growled at me.

"And this is my place . Don't ever think about ordering me. Do you know what i thought .you will be dead by now and i dont want to risk the precious food and water by feeding you. Alas! you came back" He yelled at me and let go off me abruptly.

Fine he is one of the reason for my friends dead and now he is confessing openly that having me is burden to him.I stood there glaring at him.
I dont want to live under the roof where he is anyway.

I dashed to side where my backpack is.I picked it up with the thing i picked from Jac's home.

"Atleast take care of my friends" I said looking away slinging my backpack on my back.

"No need to be arrogant Merlin. We are in their hospitality. We would be dead if he hadnt came there .If Clara died its her fate." Teena said like Clara's death is nothing to her.

Amy and Julie gasped at her crude words. World came to end for sure.
