Chapter-5

There stood Lucas in all his glory as if he hadn't just knocked me out yesterday. Cathrine ran to him and hugged him tight and I resisted my urge to roll my eyes. Now don't get me wrong I loved them as a couple , they were amazing and I really looked up to how they handled everything but right now I really needed some bloody good explanations from Lucas. The only person stopping me from pulling his hair out and slapping him was Cathrine. She didn't deserve any of this.
"How are you?" Lucas came up to me and said. I could see clearly how he was trying to act cool and his pleading eyes gave everything away.
"I'm good. Atleast the best I can be" I said dryly and asked Bel to pass me my phone. There were messages from Tyler and mom n dad. Bel and Cat told me earlier that they had informed Tyler that I was staying at their place so as to avoid getting them worried. That was wise.
"Hey" Bel said softly and sat on my bed , "I have some urgent work , I'll be back in no time okay?" Bel said, I smiled at her and hugged her telling her I'll be fine and not to worry so much about me.
Bel left soon after bidding her dramatic farewell to us and tripping on her own feet. I chuckled to myself and looked at Lucas who shuffled on his feet awkwardly.
"Is there anything you want to talk about Lucas?" I asked and he looked at me with his big blue eyes which would popp out of their sockets anytime.
Cat looked at him worried but he just smiled at her and told her he's fine and she should go and get some fresh air and eat something as she was starving since yesterday. I felt bad for Cat. After a lot of convincing from Lucas and me Cathrine huffed and made her way out. After checking to see if the coast is clear , Lucas made his way to my bed and sat on the stool.
"Zea it's not what it seems like." He said
"Every culprit says that" I said and narrowed my eyes at him.
"Zea listen to me please" he begged and I sighed. Well no matter what he deserves to explain his side of story too. No matter how angry I'm at him and how much I want to break that glass vase on his head I knew I had to give him a chance.
"This better be good Caswell" I sighed and sat criss crossed.
"Well whatever you saw the guy , zea he lost control and I knew it seemed bad but the guy is fine and we even wiped his memories. We checked on him and he's doing fine" Lucas said in a single breath.
"You didn't even stop him Lucas. You were standing there with a smug look on your face and you didn't even stop him!! " I yelled
"What if he would have died Lu ,would you be able to forgive yourself?" I said and wiped the tears which were threatening to fall.
Lucas pulls his hair and an exasperated sigh leaves his lips. "I'm sorry. I just was taken aback. I'm sorry for doing this to you , I just didn't want to blow up our cover. He's my friend and I know whatever he did was wrong but I was just trying to protect him." He said and I saw how his eyes have become glassy.
"I don't know Lu, I don't know if I can forgive you." I said and looked at him.
He nodded and gave me a sad smile and left.
.
My head was hurting. This was too much to take in. I don't know who the guy with Lucas was but he sure wasn't good news. I couldn't properly see his face because I was so mortified after seeing all the blood on the ground and dripping from the guy's body. I closed my eyes shut in order to forget the memories. I laid down and closed my eyes trying to escape from everything. Trying to find peace in this choas.
.
The urgent need to pee woke me up from my deep slumber. I rushed to the bathroom and did my business. I came back and checked my phone. 1:04 it read, well I still had a lot of time to sleep which made me happy and I smiled to myself.
Just as I looked up I saw a stilleoute of a man leaning against the wall of my bed. He was tall almost the same as Lucas and was well build.
"Who are you?" I asked as I gripped the vase from the side table. My hands were trembling but I had to put on a brave face.
No response.
"Who are you?" I said a lil more loudly.
"I'll scream and then.."
"Is screaming all you can do?" He interrupted and came forword , the small light from my bed side lamp illuminating his face.
He looked oddly familiar. His cheek bones were defined and his eyes held a scary story in them. His chiseled jaw and pink pouty lip which held an egoistic smirk on them.

"Hello Zea" he smirked and the air was knocked out of my lungs.
