Zara: Uno's Lover

11

Zara and Uno sat at the room where they're suppose to meet this 'Clyde' person. Uno sat next to Zara in the moment, even holding her hand "I'm here, don't worry" He told Zara

"Here they are" Hajime opened the door revealing a tall man with red hair and marron eyes, his hair almost covered his eyes, he slouched as he walked inside lazily [Pic not mine]

"Hey there" Clyde said, Uno visibly became irritated and scooted more to Zara "Geez Kiddos, don't worry" He said, Hajime had left them for privacy

"Don't worry!? You betrayed us! You left us! It was your fault!" Uno said, he was comforted by Zara who only glanced at Clyde sadly "We were best friends.."

*sigh* Clyde sat across from them and spoke "It's not like any of that wasn't found out, the police easily found out that I was the one who persuaded you to go to that casino, they knew I was the one who was driving the truck that hit Zara.. and yes, after I hit her, I got out from the truck just to stare at you, when you reached out to me, I just walked away... I thought I was so cool back then.. I got arrested shortly after..."

"Tch! Serves you right! Why did you even do that!?" Uno asked

"You forgot? I like Zara, more than you do, so I decided to confess, having full knowledge that she has a boyfriend, but I was so angry that she rejected me" He said lazily

"Not that! Of course I know that, I mean why go as far as hurting her?" Uno asked

"I came to the conclusion that, if I can't have her, no one will" He sighed "But don't worry, after being in prison for a few years without escaping, I was finally released a few week ago... all that thing over Zara is long gone now...I came to tell you that" he said

"....." Uno sat there unconvinced, this was his best friend for a few years...

"I'm glad..." Zara said, much to Uno's shock "I'm glad you came to tell us that"

"Yeah no prob, well if it was my murder attempt compared to Uno's cheating and blackmailing for years, I think my attempt came of rather light to you huh?" Clyde asked, Uno and Zara paled, Uno never wanted Zara to know that, heck that was one of the reasons he was feeling guilty and acting distant in the first place "Oh... sorry.. guess he hasn't told you..."

"Visiting hours is over, please go back" An officer said

"Good luck Uno" Clyde said before leaving

(Time skip)

"Now what happened?" Hajime sighed, he just got back from a meeting with the warden, and suddenly Yamato reported that the young couple were acting weird again, so now here he is, going to check on them "No. 11, no.10" he opened the cell door and was somewhat shock, this time, Uno was the one approching Zara, while Zara ignored him

"Zara, please talk to me, it was all just a misunderstanding, a mistake, it was all in the past ok, I just did it for the money for your treatments" Uno said, he was trying to make Zara face him by elaborating his moves but to no avail

"Yes you did pay for some of my treatments, and I'm grateful for that, even though I told you not to, I'm still grateful, but my treatment only lasted a year, I remember Clyde saying 'years' " Zara replied

"T-that was... it was because I still needed money.." Uno said

"For gambling correct?" Zara asked

".....that was one of the reasons, but I was also looking for a way to get you walking again" Uno said, he finally sat down beside her

"Yeah.. I'm grateful that you were looking for a way, even though I said it was fine, i knew you were just guilty too... but there were plenty of other ways to make more money you know... dating other women and gambling is not one of them... even if you did find a way for me.. I wouldn't be happy knowing the way you got money" Zara replied

".....Zara.." Uno said, he shook her shoulder a bit but she didn't face him

"......." Hajime still stood at the doorway, ignored by the couple who was clearly having a quarrel, Hajime turned to look at the other inmates who were trying to signal Hajime to go out and let them be "Hey both of you stop that, I understand that you're having an argument and all, but be quite, you're being a bother"

'HAJIME YOU IDIOT!' Jyugo, Nico, and Rock mentally said

"See Uno? Be quite he said" Zara said

"......Zara, please... I know I'm such a dumbass but stop acting like how I acted to you before..." Uno said, he knows acting cold and distant wasn't exactly him but.. if it's to keep her from knowing that and get out of trouble.. he thinks he can tolerate it... though now that the secret is out.. he regrets it every single bit

"How do you think I felt?" She asked softly yet with a sad tone, she still looked away but on the other end, she was almost tearing up

"......." Uno kept quite, meanwhile, the other three inmates in the room went out to scold Hajime, and told him he just made it worse
