“Just a second"
Just a second was all it took for our walls to crumble down into ashes. Ashes which did not denote the end of misery but a warning of a catastrophic eruption.”
Life was normal. Rosalina and Jaxon were smoothly running their relationship. But fate shows its evil side every time it gets a chance.
Jaxon and Rosalina had a normal relationship like every other people. They both shared an unbreakable bond. But disasters in life shatter people apart no matter how close they are to the person
FLASHBACK
Jaxon and Rosalina were in a relationship from the end of school. They had dated for almost 2 years now and, it was at the beginning of the college year when the horrifying incident had taken place
Rosalina had just finished my classes. Rosalina was excited to meet Jaxon after a hectic day of classes. Every time she sees his angelic smile, it just makes her day.
Rosalina was going down the hallway in search of Jaxon. She had checked everywhere but he was nowhere to be seen.
After searching for him for a while she found him coming out of the washroom. Rosalina was overjoyed to see him but he had a furious expression
'Oh well, I guess he is having a bad day. Let's go surprise him' She thought
She went from behind and lifted her hands and wrapped her palms around his eyes
"Guess who?" She whispered in his ear
As soon as she whispered in his ear, the response received had thrilled her. He harshly yanked her hand away. He looked at Rosalina with swollen yet angered eyes and all she could do was return a confused look. Then, he spoke
"You're such a bitch" Jaxon spat
Rosalina was more than shocked to hear such kind of a comment from his mouth as he had never used such harsh words towards her despite their numerous arguments. The time for using such words never came.
"J-Jaxon w-what's wrong??" Rosalina asked hesitantly
"Is e-everything alright?" Rosalina spoke again shakily
"How dare you talk to me!?!?" Jaxon spoke angrily
"You still have the mouth to talk to me after doing such a disgusting thing?!!" He asked
Rosalina was out of words. She had no idea about what he is saying so rather than shocked she was confused. She began to rewind all the actions she had taken but found nothing that would offend him so bad
"Jaxon...What's wrong? Why are you acting like this?" Rosalina asked patiently waiting for his answer
"Ask that to yourself slut" Jaxon replied coldly
Rosalina attempted to hold his hand but he harshly pushed her to the lockers and trapped her between his muscular arms. He reflected nothing a daunting aura as his voice represented the anger he was feeling. Then he spoke spitting his venomous rage on to her face shattering her apart.
"Get this straight. From now on you are not going to come near me. You stay away from me and all my friends as I don't want a whore like you near them" He said gritting his teeth
"Oh and also you and I are officially over," He said with pain in his eyes as tears started to flow down my eyes.
Rosalina became a crying mess, with her face flushed red, eyes bloodshot and expression fully showing how shattered she had become. She tried to hold him to ask for a justification for her unknown sins but he pushed her away exerting great causing her to fall on to the leveled concrete, before walking away. Rosalina called out for him quite a lot of times but he just faded away into the distance of the hazy corridor. Rosalina continued to sob whilst sitting on the floor but suddenly she felt a sharp pain piercing her stomach. Realizing it was a kick, she looked up to the culprit only to have her expression drop.
It was Lina. She despised Rosalina for dating Jaxon. This must be an amazing day for her.
She harshly pulled her hair and kicked Rosalina’s stomach with her pencil heel resulting in blood oozing out of her soft flesh. The urge to fight back had left Rosalina considering her broken self, so she bore with it. Lina smirked witnessing her weak state.
After kicking Rosalina a few more times whilst screaming a series of profanities at her, she left. Leaving behind alone her lifeless body in the temporarily desolate hallway.
After a lot of struggle, Rosalina was able to get up and immediately went home and treated herself after reaching. She took a warm shower to wash away the pain in the burning water but nothing worked
She decided to directly sleep. She had not eaten anything that night although her mother had offered several times. She did not have an appetite.
So she excused herself by saying that she was not feeling well. That night she was left with her tears and her broken heart.
The next day when she went to school, she received very weird looks from everyone. Ignoring their stares, she straight went to her locker. While she was settling everything a voice came from behind.
"Hey bitch" The person said
Before Rosalina could turn to the person, correction, the people, she felt a splash of water hitting her face. She looked up just to see the people who once she addressed as friends and it thrilled her as they were her best friends and now they are bullying her. Well, they would not choose her over Jaxon. She was an outsider at the end of the day.
"How could you do this to Jaxon?!" Henry spoke
They all had a look of anger and disappointment on their faces whereas Rosalina was still confused. Jaxon began to curse at her while a few of them said their words of insult. After all of them were done humiliating her, they left leaving Jaxon and Tristan
"Slut" Jaxon said as he flashed Rosalina a hurt look.
She tried touching his arm but he just yanked it off. Rosalina immediately felt herself shift to the right making her realize he pushed her.
She tried to talk to him yet again by holding him calling out for him with her small and desperate voice.
"J-Jaxon" She stuttered.
"Please l-listen to me. Why are you acting like this??" She asked him pleading with him to stop
But he wouldn't budge. He yanked her hand away yet again and this time pushed her hard causing her to bump against the locker and fall.
Then without saying a word, he stormed off leaving Tristan to be the only one left out
Rosalina looked at him but he only gave her a look of pity, before rolling his eyes, leaving her alone there.
Everyone around began laughing at her and making cruel comments to break her. as she laid there helpless. She got up and head towards the entrance to leave.
END OF FLASHBACK
Ever since that day, everybody bullies her and that kept going on.
Every day, every night Rosalina cries whilst asking herself and God what sin she had committed, to receive such cruel punishment. But unfortunately, the answer is always nil.
Rosalina POV:It was a gloomy and cloudy morning. The rain was torrential. The surrounding was tranquil and the only sound that could be heard was the rain enveloping the ground into its embrace. The weather was quite comfortable. The sight of the trees getting refreshed by the touch of rain and dancing in the directions of the wind was mesmerizing. Even though the morning was gloomy but I enjoyed that kind of weather.I looked up at the clock and saw it was 6:30 am.'I am early' I thought.As much as I enjoy sleeping but waking up early in the morning was a routine. I prefer to utilize my time rather than wasting it by fooling around, not that I have anybody to fool around with. I decided to get up and get dressed for school.Since it was a cold day I decided to wear something simple and comfortable. So I chose something like it.Makeup was never my thing as it made me feel heavy and I couldn’t apply i
Rosalina POV:The bell rang and it was time for recess. As usual, I was walking alone as I have been for the past years. I reached my locker to get my earphones. I grabbed them and straight went to the roof to calm my mind. I sat there and listened to the melodious music while enjoying the view of the cloudy weather.I was sitting alone until someone came and sat beside me. I did not bother to look as I knew who it was. I was getting myself ready to hear his demeaning words. Then the person spoke"Do you always come here during recess?" The person saidI looked at the person startled. To my surprise, it was not who I thought it would be. It was the new guy. I was expecting it to be Jaxon as he comes and insults me sometimes when I am on the roof."Yes," I responded calmly"Nice," He saidThere was a long silence after that, then he spoke again"So have you thought about it?" He saidJAX
Rosalina POVI was speechlessly gazing at the mobile screen. Tears of pain started to stream down my eyes. Then my phone vibrated signalling I have a notification. I opened my phone and saw a text saying'Are you okay?'I was confused. Wondering who sent it, I replied immediately out of curiosity and panic.'Who are you? How did you get my number? Who gave it to you? And also how do you know about what happened?'After a while, the person replied saying.'Woah so many questions. You are one curious lady aren't you?''Answer my questions I commanded him or herThe person replied'Alright. Answer 1: I am someoneAnswer 2: I have my waysAnswer 3: A human being Answer 4: The social media and even if you don't have an account I am sure you somehow saw it.'
JAXON POVI was about to turn and leave when I heard a scream making me flinch.For a moment I got confused as to who was screaming and then I realized the voice sounded familiar.Rosalina…Not giving it a second thought I ran back to her house. As I was about to enter I see the door is closed.Getting frustrated I started banging on the door. I kept thudding on it harshly and hitting it with my arm, kicking it but nothing worked. This is some good material.Then it hit my head that her house has a back door.'Maybe that is open' I thoughtWith the thought in my mind and hands trembling I went towards the back of the house where the door was located. My hands touched the doorknob and turned it.It was OPEN! I quickly entered the house and saw the mess. My heartbeat began to escalate due to fear. I carefully went through the house, observing everything. I started to look fo
JAXON POV:"So miss innocent... Ring a bell when I say 'James'" I spoke to Rosalina dauntingly.I expected Rosalina to give me a proper reaction but rather than a shocked face her face reflected bewilderment which in turn got me confused. Then she spoke"He is your friend right?" She said raising an eyebrow"Correction! Was!" I said"Yeah, you two had some kind of fight and then you broke off," She said"And after I stopped being friends with him, you took an advantage of the situation that we won't talk to each other anymore and had slept with him as you did with every other," I said in a serious and attacking tone.There was a moment of silence. A look of absolute confusion and anger flashed through her face as she looked at me while I tore her down with my scrutinizing gaze. The density of the air thickened with every movement the larger hand of the clock made. Tension built in my core making me fee
JAXON POV:I was furious after the incident that had happened with Rosalina. What a heartless person she is who without any hesitation she just accepted all her unforgivable sins. What is wrong with her?! She did not even bother apologizing and rather began rambling in a somewhat psychotic tone. But for some reason, the pain in her eyes was as vivid as the view of scenery before one’s eyes. After I revealed the truth rather than a shocked expression, her face was varnished with disappointment. I shrugged off the thought and continued my journey.I wanted to clear my mind which was messed thanks to Rosalina. I think going to a bar may help.JEREMY POV:It was a hectic day for me. Classes, practice, and assignments were all eating my head out. After a long and comforting shower, I sat on my bed with my phone just to enjoy my leisure time before diving into sleep.I was scrolling through my social
Rosalina POV: I was laying down scrolling through my phone when my phone dinged indicating I have received a text. I went to my message box and opened the unknown identity I received the message from. The message said 'Hey, Rosalina. We need to talk.' I was very confused. I quickly replied asking. 'Umm who are you?' I patiently waited for the reply. After waiting for almost 10 minutes, I received a reply. 'I am your classmate. My name is Ivy. I have some proof against the fact that you did not cheat on Jaxon.' I was thrilled. Not only to know that there is proof that I did not cheat on Jaxon but also that there was someone 'FROM SCHOOL' that supported me and believed in me. But I was still not confirmed if she was speaking the truth. So, I asked. 'Why should I believe you? I mean you don't have any proof.' 'Watch
Rosalina POV:The guy entered the room and looked at me. Both our eyes widened the moment they came in contact."YOU?!?!" Both of us said in unison"So you guys know each other! That's great it will be easier for you to be good friends with us!!" She said excitedlyThe guy was the new guy. The Kai guy. He wanted to be my friend a few days ago but I yet did not accept the offer. I guess it's time."So...looks like you gotta answer my question now." He said smiling."Hmmm." I hummed"What hmmm!! Answer the question!!" He said scolding me like a little kid."What question?" Ivy asked confusedKai explained everything to Ivy. It took a lot of time cause she was not understanding a lot of things. She looked dumb but that's good. At least she won't betray me. After Kai was done he turned to look at me and asked."Okay. Now you! Mind answering?" He asked with curiosity"Well...I would like
