Emerald ~book 2~

Chapter 9

          3 months later(8 months in total)
                               ~Zee POV~
      "Now I want you to tell me what's happened in your life." The therapist said gently.

       "Ummm are you asking for my life story?" He asked uncomfortably.

         "In a way yes but focus in detail Saint when he comes into the picture." She said softly.

          "I... ummmm... ok I'll.. try." He took a deep breath then began.

          "When I was younger I didn't believe in love because of my father and mother. I thought love was just a word you say and nothing else. I had built a barrier around me and never let anyone in. The only person I ever talked to and trusted was my brother Mew. When I was around 13 I was playing a game to calm my emotions. Because that day my dad had slapped me and my mother hard and was yelling at us. I met Sup in the game that day and he was really funny and nice. But I refused to let him In, afraid I'd just hurt myself. But for some reason Sup wouldn't let go of me and made a deal with me. "If I haven't broke down your walls and became your friend by the end of the month I'll leave you alone." That was the first time I'd ever heard those words. For once someone wasn't willing to back down, he was going to fight to be my friend. Saint's always been a fighter ever since I met him that day." He took a deep breath then continued.

          "Little by little that month Sup broke the barrier around me into tiny pieces. At the end of that month Sup was so happy that he succeeded at becoming my friend. And to be honest it felt like a huge weight was lifted off my heart. But I built up my barrier again now one more added to who's inside, Sup. I slowly built a trust in Sup and I'd tell him anything just like Mew. The day I met Saint when I was 18 was weird my emotions all jumbled up. It was confusing as to what I felt for Saint. Hate, like, love? I was very confused. So I did what I always did I was a jerk. Slowly me and Saint kind of became friends, Saint was had broke my barrier a little bit but not much. He agreed to tutor me so that was a start. I was surprised at how concerned Saint was of me when I had that wound on my arm." He held the red bandanna in his hands gently. Treating it like a breakable artifact.

       "The day I found out Saint was Sup I was mind blown. I didn't know what to think, I had grown feelings for Sup. But when I found out it was Saint I needed time to think. But one thing I knew for sure, it's like I could hear glass shatter all around me. My barrier had been broken permanently just by the hands of Saint. It took me a long time to open up to him, even after the prom I still refused to open up. I was scared, afraid, unsure. Until the day I decided to open up and confess my feelings. That day was the best day of my life. A weight lifted from my shoulders that I didn't know I was even carrying. It was hard seeing Saint under the spell. And even harder to hear him say I never loved you. My life revolves around Saint, I just need a smile and it brightens my day. This year has been hard being away from Saint. Along with the torturous nightmares I go through every night. But I'll be fine I just need time to get back on my feet then I'll see Saint again." Zee finished, there was a lot he's not telling her but some of it doesn't need to be heard.

        Like how he misses the touch of Saint and his lips pressed against his. He misses the way Saint pouted whenever Zee would tease him. He missed a lot more about Saint but with the therapist she only needed to know the bare minimum. He doesn't like sharing his life with strangers at all anyways.

•••••••

He's sitting at his desk in his bedroom with his eyes shut. He was tired but he feared to go to sleep. So he did the only thing that's been helping him at least get 30 minutes of undisturbed sleep.

He grabbed the recorder that Saint had gave Mew to give to him and started to play the recording. He shut his eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep well a peaceful sleep for a little while. After that the terrors of his dreams haunted him again for yet another night.

I know it's short kind of but I want the next bit to be in Saint's POV and also another time skip. So might as well make that another chapter.
