Chapter Fifty-two: I'm the one with the pitch forks

I rang the doorbell.

No answer. Where's Stout Stewart? He's always so quick to the door.

As if reading my mind, he opened the door. Once he saw me his eyes widened.

"Oh dear. The master wishes to be left alone."

Oh dear?

"Would you please just tell him it's me?"

"He wishes to be left alone by all of us."

"Stewart please let me in. I promise you won't get in any trouble."

He hesitated. Then he widened the door to let me in. "Thank you so much."

I don't know why, but I rushed up the stairs and towards Zane's room. I didn't bother knocking.

"Zane?" I didn't see him, but I heard rustling.

"Who's there?" Rosita screeched.

"It's me Rose. It's just me." She came down the stairs and sighed. "Oh mi querido. Eres tú."

Oh my dear. It's just you.

"Si. Where is Zane?"

"He's..." She trailed off. 

"Please tell me Rose. I need to talk to him."

"The door opposite the one to the right." I muttered a quick thanks before I rushed up to the door. And this time I knocked.

"Zane?"

"What are you doing here?" A gruff voice called from the other side.

I can't believe I actually went along with Serena. I'm a total fool.

Without answering, I opened the door. He was laying on a bed in a room that was similar to his, and staring upward.

"Zane. I am so sorry about last night. I didn't mean anything I said."

"I know."

"It was all- Wait, what do you mean, you know?"

He sat up. "At first I believed you completely and I was so worried, but after I thought about it, a part of me didn't believe you, but a smaller part was worried so I stayed back to think about it. You really upset me Cherry. What was that all about?"

I was so relieved he didn't believe what I said.

"First things first." I ran to him and jumped on him making him fall back on the bed, I planted a passionate kiss on his lips then on his forehead then his cheeks. "I know it's been one day, but I missed you so bad. You don't know how guilty I felt when I didn't see you in school today."

"You don't know how much willpower it took for me not to march to your house that instant, grab you with me and lock you in my room."

"A lot I guess." I teased.

He sat up with me still in his lap. "Yes, very much. Now please explain to me what those theatrics were for."

I frowned slightly when I realized he wasn't going to be happy about this information. "I know you won't like to hear this, but I have to tell you. It was Serena."

His eyebrows creased. "What?"

"She took a recording of our conversation last night about me being Avery and she threatened to tell Wren if I didn't break up with you that instant and delete your number."
