Interwined

Chapter 9:: Simply. Because I do not care and never did.

Teresas POV

Why cant I sleep in one of the guest rooms? I inquired for what felt like a thousandth time.

Because.. Azriel tried replying to me.

Because all the other rooms are filled with dust and dirt. Zeke cut Azriel off like always

Whatever! But cant you at least let me choose! I was getting irritated by their behavior.

Okay! Then tell us. Both of them said.

Okay, this is a hard one! Its either my crush since forever or the incredibly nice guy I just met.

Azriel I replied, not because he was the incredibly nice guy but because I was still pissed off at Zeke!

What the-? You are not sleeping with him, you came with me, I brought you here! You just cant do this! Zeke looked irritated and..hurt?

Good, he deserved this!

Yeah, I can do this and you cant expect me to stay with you after what you said! YOU PROMISED ME THAT YOU WONT LET ANYONE I was yelling when I felt a finger at my lips, it was Azriel.

I as expected blushed.

And Zeke unexpectedly punched Azriel on the eye!

Wait! What? Why?

Ummm..sorry it was some kind of a reflex. He tried apologizing but it was really late because Azriel punched Zeke in the stomach.

Ow, I said I was sorry! But if you want a fight then youll get it. Zeke replied faking a yawn.

Azriel angrily tried punching and kicking while Zeke dodged him swiftly and when Azriel tried kicking once more Zeke caught his leg and with one swift motion made him fall on his butt.

I started laughing because nobody here was seriously injured and Azriel looked really cute, when he scowls.

Wait, what? Did I say Azriel looked cute, no way! I looked at Zeke, as though confirming that I still liked him, he was looking at me with an amused expression and there were the butterflies in my stomach again.

Crush verified!

Whats so funny? I asked looking at him with a really bad attempt at scowling.

You were the one laughing. He replied shrugging.

--------------------------------------------

Me and Azriel didnt talk for a while after Zeke left, I was reading on my phone while he watched Game of Thrones.

Dont you wanna sleep? He asked.

Both of us were sitting on the opposite ends of his bed.

Yeah. I replied expecting him to get up and offer me the bed like a gentleman but to my surprise he started making place in the bed for me.

You think I will sleep with you? I asked raising my eyebrows.

No? Most girls like it. He replied smirking, and for the first time I notice that he was extremely hot, well, not for the first time but he was hot, extremely hot.

His light blue eyes had a strange twinkle in them, the dimples seemed like a family trait and those brown hair, well, his hair was not as good as Zeke but this guy was life.

I did not just think that!

Sleep with me, I wont do anything! I promise He begged with a puppy face.

Awww

Are you an idiot Teresa?

Do you have anything comfortable to wear? I cant sleep in these! I stated pointing at my jeans.

Yeah, I guess there were some old nightgowns of aunt Maria in the store room, lemme go bring them. Saying that he went out of the room.

While he was gone, I looked at myself in the mirror, I was a skinny girl of around five point nine feet, with silky red hair and dull hazel eyes. I was wearing a simple a simple red top and a knee length pleated black skirt.

I didnt hear the door open or someone stepping in but what I did hear was, Admiring yourself? It was Zekes voice.

Shit, what is he doing here?

I may or may not have locked Az in the store room. He replied as though reading my mind, like always.

What do you want? I asked, ignoring the fact that he was standing barely millimeters away from me and if I turned then my face will hit his chest or at least my shoulder will.

I was breathing heavily, like really heavily.

Look Resa, I made a mistake, we all do. He said putting his hand on my shoulders.

JUST TELL ME, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE WHETHER I LIVE OR DIE? YOU NEVER CARED BEFORE, WHEN ANNE SPREADED THOSE RUMORS ABOUT ME BEING A SLUT YOU LAUGHED WITH HER, WHEN SHE SLAPPED ME LAST YEAR CALLING ME A BOYFRIEND STEALER AND CLAIMED THAT YOU CHEATED ON HER WITH ME, YOU STOOD THERE WITH HANDS ON HER SHOULDER AND WHEN I WAS GETTING RAPED, YOU WERE THERE IN THAT LOCKER ROOM BUT YOU NEVER TRIED MAKING SURE WHERE THOSE NOISES WERE COMING FROM A- I was yelling and had pushed him away but no my asthma had to ruin my anger.

I was choking and trying to breathe over and over again.

Here! I saw Zeke push an inhaler in my mouth.

After I was fine, my first question to him was, Why do you carry that inhaler around? Wait thats my inhaler but I forgot it at home, why did you bring it? And how do you know I have asthma.

Simple. Because I do not care and never did. Replying rudely he went out of the room, slamming the door leaving me alone.

Slowly I went out of the room and somehow found my way to the roof.

The sky looked beautiful, especially in the beautiful city of Miami.

Isnt it beautiful? Sad to say I dont have long to live, otherwise I would love to spend my whole life gazing at them. Came the beautiful and soothing voice of Maria Carter.

Oh, Hello, Mrs. Carter. I beamed at her.

My name is. I was cut off by her.

Teresa Ray, and please dont call me Mrs. Ray, thats what Miryam is called. Call me Maria. She replied as she sat beside me.

I have heard a lot about you, and you are certainly one of the prettiest angels in the world. She said to me with a beautiful smile.

Who told you that? I asked her blushing bright red.

I certainly was not a pretty angel, at least not after what I said to Zeke.

Someone who cares about you a lot and by a lot I mean more than Romeo loved Juliet, more than Jace loved Clary and more than Percy loved Annabeth and certainly more that Ron loved his chicken. She spoke and you can see her young self come back to life, her eyes lighting up.

Who? I asked.

Her only answer was a smile as she got up and went away.
