THIRD-PERSON POV"What?" Rosalina asked as memories of her being the same flashed through her mind"Yeah...Few guys at school sexually harassed her. She could not take the pain and lost her mental balance" Jeremy said looking down"How is she now?" Rosalina asked"She is better. She will get discharged within this year" Jeremy repliedThere was a moment of absolute silence. None of them said a word as the only sound heard was the clanking of glasses."I am so useless as a brother," Jeremy said"Not more than me," A voice said from behindRosalina's head jolted up in the direction and her eyes widened. Jeremy sat up straight as nervousness took over him."B-Brandon?" Rosalina said stuttering"Why are not eating anything chubs?" He askedRosalina did not reply. She just maintained her silence."I am a much more useless brother. Do you want to know why? Because even if knew what was happening with her I did not take any action.

HENRY POV:I was passing by the university's open area. I ran out of supply for a pen so I was heading to the store to buy some, but as I was going I heard the commotion. When I go forward to see what was happening, I had to go through the crowd. My eyes widened as I got into the crowd to see what was happening.There was Jaxon with blood running down his head which made his whole face look like a blood moon, getting kicked by a few juniors. He looked like he was having difficulty breathing but was trying his best to fight back. I went forward to stop them only to be hit to the side by one causing me to fall.

Suddenly, I saw Tristan by the locker area."TRISTAN!!!" I screamed causing him to turn flinching"What the fuck Henry-""Jaxon got into a fight and now he is getting beaten up.

ROSALINA POV:My heartbeat is increasing with every passing second as I await the waking up of the raven.He fought for me. That's what was lingering in my mind. A witness who had a complete idea of the incident had told us about it. My bruises on the back were being treated. They stung and I hissed in pain."Please be careful," Jeremy said to the nurse who was treating meHe then looked at me with a soft smile which I returned and then looked back to the unconscious figure. We were all very tense about him."Thank you Rosalina" Henry suddenly said"For?" I asked confused as there was nothing to thank me for"For protecting him. If you hadn't shielded him from the hits then his condition would have been worse" He explained and nodded in understanding"You're welcome" I whispered and it was silent for awhileJeremy came up to me and kneeled before me."You...Feeling fine?" He asked awkwardly"Yeah...thank you for asking," I said again looking awayHe nodded and then moved away. Everyon
6 YEARS LATER The soothing wind of the autumn brushed past the busy streets. Every moving creature craves to return to the comfort of its house. Except for one person, who sat with his heart warmed up for an arrival he awaited. His eyes wandered from place to place trying to take in every bit of the place, to be able to put it down his memory lane as a remarkable day. A day to remember on days of the missing comfort. Impatience was all he felt, cursing at the time for moving so slow. Showing his full anger towards the roads which delayed the presence of the one he begged to meet. It's been six years. No contact. Both are busy in their own lives trying not to care about each other's lives. When one might have succeeded in the race but the other seemed to have horribly failed. Maybe, he didn't even try to. The atmosphere got comforting and lively the moment his eyes fell upon the café door which opened with a woman coming in with a smile. She smiled at the workers who had returned th

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 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
