Those Eyes... (Zerrie Fanfic)

Chapter 46

Chapter 46:

Debbie's POV:

Today was supposed to be a good day although I knew she would be her usual persistent, temperamental self but never did I think she would do something this low. And for who? The same guy who not only left her, but forgot about her and moved on faster than a blink of an eye. Even if he had showed some sign of guilt or grief, I would have tried to help them but no, he had clearly just used my daughter as if she was a piece of toy that didn't have any motive or value. Sadly, she didn't see any of this, she was deluded in him.

Perrie was sat on the bed, expressing no feelings or sign of movement, eyes staring endlessly at the wall in front of her and each hand tightly gripped the sides of the bed. I went in, my heart hurt seeing her ruined like this. I sat down next to her, even I stared at the wall, not sure if I could handle seeing her face.

"I didn't expect this from you Perrie. 3 months has gone by. I thought you would have moved on but what did you do? You cut yourself? I never thought you would do something like this -

"This is what you wanted right? I forgot him mum. It helped me forgot him..." she said, smiling at me as if she had accomplished something grand but her eyes and voice showed the saddest scene. I got up, refusing to meet her eyes any further.

"You used to be the perfect child. I never had to hear any complains or bad report about you but today, you embarrassed me the most. Today only because of you, I had to deal with so many problems already -

"How did I know, I was going to fall in love mum? He will come back for me. He will."

"Why would he come back? And you still want to be with him. He who forgot you with such ease -

"Yesterday when he came to me, it felt like I had finally got the chance to breath mum." Perrie looked out the window with a gleam and hope in her eyes. I stared at her in surprise, unable to apprehend what she was saying. I knelt down next to her and looked up at her slightly smiling face.

"He came? Yesterday? Why did he come? Did you let him in? Tell me Perrie, why did he come!?"

Perrie smiled even more, her eyes didn't move an inch from the window behind me. "Tell me Perrie!" I shook her. Then she thumped her two finger on her chest, where her heart was. "For this mum. He came to meet this." She said, her small smile began to widen. I got up again and turned my back on her, this time I really couldn't bear to see her act like a lost soul.

"HE CAME TO MEET MY HEART MUM! MY HEART BELONGS TO HIM AND HE COMES EVERY NIGHT! DON'T KEEP ME HERE MUM! I CAN'T TOLERATE IT! I FEEL SUFFOCATED! I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS MUM, I NEED HIM! I NEED HIM NOW!"

I turned around at her in panic. Perrie's back fell on the bed and started to dig into the pillows with her nails, eyes closed tight but her face was completely soaked wet. I didn't know how to react just then, should I focus on her words or her agonising scream that were filled with so much pain that even a heartless being would feel it. She was ruined. She was completely ruined.

"Perrie!" I brought her forward and shook her hard.

"I love him mum! You have to take me out of here!" She carried on crying.

"Perrie! Calm down, calm down..."

After few minutes, she began to untighten and relax before zoning out and drifting off to sleep. I placed her under the quilt and kissed her forehead.

"Tricia acted like this too, I did that to her and now... now it's her son doing this to Perrie. This is all my fault." Alex, Perrie's dad, said, leaning against the door, staring at Perrie with teary eyes. He had come this time and I had let him, I was counting on him to cheer her up this birthday but just moments after arriving, we'd got a phone call saying she had cut herself...
