You Belong With Me♡ "EDITING" & "On Hold"

♡9 : Recovering from the shock

This couldn't be happening, Amelia thought in shock.

Her eyes were transfixed and scared at the sight of Zach. For once she thought, she had imagined him and tried to ignore his image, but her eyes were drawn to his making him look real. He was looking at her intently, without even blinking much. She hoped it's an illusion but there he was, stepping out from his car. Tall, handsome, strong and real. Very, very real. His eyes surveying her scrutinily.

Zach was stunned to see her here. He tried for long to find about her since he learned that she left Jacob's house. He felt himself responsible for the damage she had to face. His eyes flickered over her shocked expression. He stepped out of his car and walked towards her. "Hence, you're here," He stated.

Amelia's steps faltered and her eyebrows rose in shock query,"What are you doing here?" She didn't know why she was fearing him, but there has been just this thought in her mind that if he could meet her, out of nowhere, then how far Jacob might be. She had feared, had a nightmare of Jacob maddeningly searching for her to take revenge and torment her life yet again. She could feel herself falling apart with fear and anticipation of what might come.

Zach didn't bother to reply her query and instead went on saying,"That's not important. The good thing is I finally found you." He never felt this glad in his heart as he feels now after seeing her today. For Months, he was disturbed that he couldn't help her and that knowing everything about Jacob, he still had let her suffer in life. He smiled inwardly then, thinking that Fate really was at work because everytime he thinks he has lost her, destiny makes them meet again.

Good heavens! He's been looking for her for months. But Why? She wondered with a troubled mind.

"You have been looking for me?," She said in a surprised voice, almost in a daze and when he nodded and gave a satisfying smile, she questioned quizzically,"but why?"

"Because I was accused of misleading and freeing you and I needed to find you to prove that each of those accusations were false," He said in a complaining voice that surprised Amelia more. She looked at Zach dumbly as he went on,"but I couldn't find you before, when I was trying to find you. His voice went humorous as he said,"It seems like we are to meet accidentally, always."

Amelia's stunned mind reeled as she tried to absorb what he was saying. She couldn't understand why he was accused of such a thing and then it hit upon her that Jacob must have thought that she had run to him for help as he somehow believed that she knew him and has made him turn down the deal they were suppose to do. She also had a feeling that he may also think that she and Zach might have something going on between them and now by hurling accusations at Zach for her running away from him, he has proved that he hasn't even had  faith in her, he could so easily blame her on such grounds even though he was well aware of her lack of social life because of her shyness and reserved nature.

Amelia was still in a state of shock for meeting Zach and then knowing from him about what Jacob was up to, she found herself staring back at him. What a misunderstanding, she thought. She felt sorry for him for being dragged into the messy situation she is facing with Jacob. She has no idea what to do or say. Her mind was losing its presence, the earth was beginning to spin faster, she felt weak, like there was no life in her. She muttered, "Zach" with heavy eyes and a worried expression, not knowing what was happening to her, before finally collapsing in Zach's arm.

Amelia eyes flew open into a large room and she found herself in a comfortable bed. For a moment, she thought that everything that she had faced up till now was a bad dream and she was with Jacob and they were happy. She heard two male voices from afar, she couldn't properly see their faces. "Jacob," She said with emotion, expecting to see him, but when as one of them walked towards her, and, she saw Zach, she was back to reality. The other man silently left the room carrying a medical box or something, she wasn't sure what as her main focus was on the man walking towards her.
