Illusions (Enoch O'connor)

Chapter 19: Westly

Zaira Pov: (Been awhile)

My eyes feel heavy. I cant move and I feel paralyzed. I remember cutting myself. Not necessarily trying to kill myself, but inflict a high amount if pain.

Although I couldn't move, I could hear sounds around me.

A creaky door slowly opened and footsteps neared me.
I felt a hand grasp at mine. I want so badly to open my eyes and see who was there.

" H-H-Hey Zai-Zaira......" A boys voice finally came through.

It wasn't just any voice......it was stutter box...or better known as Westly.

( Only stutters when nervous )

I heard him sigh, " W-why do y-y-y-you always blame things on your-s-self?" He asked.

' Because everything's my fault!' I wanted to scream. Yet I couldn't.

He chuckled, " Nothing's ever your f-fault.....e-ever."

In my mind I was curled up in a ball listening to Westly talk.

" I-I-Ian v-volunteered to g-go. He s-said it was for t-the best. That you'd f-forget about him eventually. W-when we left four y-years ago I cried.....for the-the first time since my p-parents died I r-really cried. You were l-like a m-mom to me.....you were a-always there f-for me.....when Ryder c-called and told m-me that you almost d-died I knew I h-had to come h-help you. A-after all y-you always saved me.......maybe i-its m-my turn t-to s-save y-you." He said sweetly. Stuttering like the tiny jitter-box he was.

I was crying. I could feel a wet year slide down my cheek. Even with an emotionless face I cried.

West put his hand on my cheek and wiped away the tears. I heard the sound of a box opening then something get layed ontop of me.
I'm sure he was smiling, " I-I know y-you can hear me....so I b-brought Riddians stuff to surprise y-you. I just put his blanket o-on y-you....bye Z..."

With that he shuffled out the room and shut the door.

He was a good boy.

I felt a presence next to my ear. Then heard an eerie chuckle.

" He sure is Zai....to bad he won't be alive for long." He said with an evil laugh.

Just like that my eyes snap open and see a black figure rush out the room.

Filler chapter! Thank you for reading this far!
