NNT: A Facade Love For Me

Chapter 17: End

Elizabeth's POV

My hand was shaking from this information. I know Zeldris and I kissed and I know that ...he likes me..but never actually said it. At times, even I don't believe his words. But just by reading this, I wanted to believe that he does want me.........that he does like me. I like him too, but I'm in conflict. My mind is going down. Zeldris likes me. He likes me as in likes me. I noticed that he's been gone, keeping a distance from me.....is he giving me space? Or protecting me? We were never together but I believe it's going to be that way. I'm fan girling. Why am I feeling all tingly just by reading this carving? Just a simple note like this is making me feel...flustered. Oh gosh, what...what am I gonna tell him once I see him?

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard the front door open. I think Meliodas is back. I quickly scrambled away from the spot I was currently on and went back to sit down on the couch. I tried to hide my pink face. If Meliodas were to see my facial expression he knows whats up and will ask and then this will lead to the nervous gut twisting situation of talking about your feelings with each other.

That reminds me, does Meliodas-sama like me...as in affectionately like me? He gives me mixed signals. It's always serious signals then automatically turns into play time signals. I don't know whats going on inside his mind. I wish he could just say it to me directly about how he feels. He has said a lot of things bluntly without second thoughts. So if that the case, why can't he say how he feels about me directly?

Why am I even thinking about this? I'm in the middle of a love triangle. I both have feelings for the Ire brothers. They are so alike yet so different. Zeldris is the darkness and Meliodas is the light. Both have costs and benefits. It's hard to find the perfect match. It feels confusing. A frown appeared on my face when I thought about these two guys.

Meliodas finally came back with a poker face. He didn't say anything to me. He's acting as if I wasn't there sitting next to him. his eyes were staring blankly on the floor. I noticed that the phone he was holding was in a very tight grip. That means trouble, I suppose.

"Uh..Meliodas-sama.....are you okay?" something is not right. Bad news is gonna hit me right about now. I can feel it. Meliodas didn't look at me yet. His eyes were covered under his bangs.
"I..I'm fine..." he doesn't sound fine. "but I don't know if you'll be fine...." his voice was shaky. What is he talking about?
"what do you mean?......did something happened?" I heard a big gulp from him. ever so slowly, he turned his head to me. Meliodas bit his lower lip. At this juncture, I was starting to worry. preparing myself for the worst.

"Elizabeth......Margarett..she-..........."he told me everything.

Normal POV

Night time.....

The hospital doors were busted open as Elizabeth ran down the halls. Her heart beat was so fast. She was devastated. She can't believe it for herself about the news. Meliodas ran behind her catching up to her pace as they neared the door of the operating room.

Elizabeth made it to the door, she quickly opened it and saw the scene in front of her. There was Margarett, being stitched up after taking his organs out and placing them in jars for safe keeping. This process is the first step to a burial.

Elizabeth saw Veronica crying next to the door and Gil hugging her for comfort. She saw Gil's eyes they were blood red from all the crying. Elizabeth went in the room and pushed everyone out of the way. Elizabeth hugged Margarett's lifeless body like her life depended on it. Crying all her pain.
