By the time Saint had went back in the room with some medicine and food Zee was asleep. Smiling softly he placed the food on the table and sat down next to him. By the look of exhaustion earlier he was able to tell that Zee had gotten hardly any sleep. And he can't help but feel like that Mia girl was one of the reasons why. At that moment Zee's phone buzzed and Saint picked his phone up to look. He wasn't going to look at his phone and texts or anything he just wanted to see if it was important. And what he saw made his blood run cold and boil at the same time.
His grip tightened and he had a good guess about who this was.
"I knew that Mia girl was bad news." Spirit growled lowly.
Saint couldn't help but feel like Zee was or would be in some kind of danger. But before he could do anything about this he needed to know what happened. Keeping control of his temper he shook Zee lightly.
"Zee we need to talk." Saint said quietly as his eyes fluttered open. When Zee was completely he sat up in the bed and looked at him with curious eyes. Silently he showed Zee the texts. When Zee looked at them you could see the clear fear in his eyes. Saint sighed and put a hand on his to reassure him. "Please Zee tell me what happened." Saint looked at him with pleading eyes. "Who is she?"
Zee took a deep breath. He knew that Saint wouldn't accept any answer but the truth. "My ex but a crazy one at that." Zee answered quietly.
"But what happened Zee? You can tell me I want to help you. I want to keep you safe. But I can't if you don't tell me what's wrong." Saint said softly.Taking a deep breath Zee spoke again. "Well my dad wanted me to be in a relationship with her but I always refused him. And things were going pretty well my dad soon accepted that I didn't want to be with her. But then my dad died and Mia ended guilting me into being with her. She would say "this was your dads one request before he died and you can't even fitful it to make him happy." I knew I wouldn't be happy but I couldn't deal with the guilt either. Things went well at first she was kind enough. Every once and a while she would get mad and yell at me. But it wasn't very often. But things just got worse after senior year of high school. She started trying to have sex with me and when I refused she would yell at me or say I'm worthless and lots of other things. But even if my defenses were low and I would allow it. It was still miserable. No magnet which one I picked it would be miserable. One day late at night when I was sure Mia was asleep I left that house and bolted to my moms. I'd had enough of her and was scared. When I told my mom everything she was disgusted and furious at her. She's been searching for me ever since. And I know what you probably gonna say. Why didn't I fight back in bigger and stronger than her. Well that's just the thing during that time when I tried to fight back it would only end worse than me just keeping quiet." Zee finished in a quiet voice and looked down. He was afraid to see a look of disgust or disappointment on his face.
But surprisingly all that happened was that he was pulled into Saint's arms. And he felt safer than he'd ever felt his whole life. Yes this feeling was horrifyingly familiar. But in a big way it was different than before. He truly felt loved and not just used for something. Unconsciously he snuggled in closer to Saint's embrace.
Welp now that we know who Mia is. I think she just got her name on the top of my kill list. Who's joining me on this hunt🔪? Zee is finally accepting this love and is starting to feel safer. But you know we can't forget that Mia is still here sadly.
Stay Safe💕
