Cedric's POV
"Holy shit, how did he get here, what should I do now ? "I kept muttering.
I was freaking scared. My mouth was open out of fear and I kept staring at him for 2 minutes, when he spoke suddenly,
"Cedric , aren't you satisfied with kissing Zara, that you're looking at me with your mouth open , what , you wanna kiss me now ? " saying this Tyler came towards us and caught Zara by the face.
I could see anger in his eyes, his eyes were blood red with anger.
"Zara, Why? Why did you do this? What did you see in this idiot that you left me, this idiot doesn't even know to talk to girls, how did you even kiss him. You know Zara, I should have known from the beginning, I madly trusted you, and this is what what you gave me . Zara, I always thought you loved me blindly and we were a couple made in heaven, but little did I know , that I would end up spending 6 months with a slut ..."
I couldn't bear that word, before he could continue , I caught him by the collar and punched him hard on his nose, although I didn't match him in terms of his agility and strength, I was damn sure that punch had a lasting effect and I was sure he was seeing stars in front of him after that punch.
"Aah, the silent lamb has now turned into a wild tiger. Wow!" Tyler said catching his nose . When he was about to raise his fist and hit me, Zara caught his hand and with tears in her eyes she started pleading to Tyler to not to hit me.
"Please, Tyler, please , leave him, its not his fault at all, its mine. I feel that you have been ignoring me and you don't love me anymore, I've seen you do things, which I didn' t expect you to do .You broke my trust a number of times, yet I believed you would get over it , but unfortunately you didn't. You know , I had no one to talk to. I was in pain. Now I can't take you anymore. Why Tyler, why did you do this.?"
"Do what ah , do what?" Tyler responded.
"I saw you making out with my best friend Melanie a number of times, and also with many other girls , that's the bloody reason I did not invite them today, I still cared for you, I didn't wanna make you feel awkward. I was faithful in my relationship, but you, you didn't even miss a single chance to break my trust. At least you could have spared my birthday, but today, you again made out with someone else. I fucking hate you Tyler , I hate you. Just get outta here. "
"Fine, I'll leave. Thanks for making 6 months of my life meaningless and making me realize how worthless and what a bitch you are..
" Fuck off , Tyler ."
I couldn't bear a single swear word against her.
Tyler went outside and slammed the door behind him.
Zara was crying. She was shattered. I tried to console her.
"It will be alright Zara , get over him. A bad chapter in your life just ended . I know what pain you're going through, I always wanted to approach you , but I couldn't because of my fear and probably , I didn't have the guts, but its alright Zara, I am there now. " I hugged her again.
"Yeah, Cedric , Even I wanted this to end, that's why I called you up here . I know you may think that I've dated many boys before and I can't be trusted, but believe me Cedric, I am not what you think.
" Yeah , you're the most amazing girl , thats for sure" I replied.
"Cedric you're trust which I've gained is the best gift I can get on my birthday, you deserve a return gift as well " Saying this she caught my hair and kissed me again. I was really enjoying it.
Everybody , literally everyone in the house had gathered outside the bedroom and were clapping and cheering. I could hear voices
"Is that Cedric , whoa ?"
"Really, Cedric and that too with Zara ? "
Zara opened the door and announced
" Party's over, guys . "
Everybody had dejected looks on their faces.
"But , But, we didn't even enjoy, c'mon , what the fuck, Cedric's the only one who's enjoyed. Its not fair. " Trent complained.
"I'm sorry Trent, but its over, I am not in a mood to talk to anyone , just buzz off. Goodbye." Zara told Trent.
Everyone started moving and even Trent was leaving , I signalled him to wait and went quickly to Zara.
" Happy birthday Zara, I didn't wish you properly , hope you don't witness such days anymore."
"Leave , Cedric , I don't want to talk about it. But still, today, you made my day and made my birthday unforgettable Cedric , I hope that I get to spend more and more time with you , Bae."
My joy had no boundaries.My happiness was limitless after I heard that word.
"Yeah, sure , I'll make sure those moments will be the most golden moments if your life, I'll try my best to make every moment of yours spent with me unforgettable, bye.....Bae!!
" Hey, I forgot to ask you something Zara."
"What ?"
"Whats your number , by the way ?"
"Idiot , you're such a cute idiot." she smiled and pinched me and gave me her number.
I bid her goodbye and went along with Trent. Liam would have gone alone.
"Oh, Cedric , you 're the boss nigga , I never thought you would even kiss Zara, dude, you're my man " Trent said as we walked down the main road.
"Excuse me ? I am not your man . Don't tell me now that 'I love you' I've had enough of confessions" I said.
"I meant, you're Zara's man . Wow, I still can' t believe, my gentle friend Cedric got himself a girlfriend , dude, you should start giving me tips now ." Trent said
"Yeah , you can approach me anytime, hey, what about Sara man , anything..."
" Don't talk about her dude, I made a fool outta myself. She's already dating someone else. Hell with it dude.
" Oh, you'll get someone, but where's Liam , why isn't he with us. "
"He must have left alone" Trent said.
"I'll call him." I removed my phone from my pocket and there was this message from Zara,
"I didn't give her my number, how did she get it" I kept thinking.
I opened the message and it read:
Good night , bae..... Love you.!!!! Hope u dream bout me !!!
I felt so good, even I replied her the same and then called Liam, but he didn't answer. I was worried. I tried calling his landline.
" Hello , Max Charleston here, who's this and why are you calling up so late "it was a heavy voice. It was Liam's dad.
"Mr Charleston, Cedric here.Is Liam there?"
"No , he's with you'll right?."
I sensed something was wrong.
" Yeah , Yeah, sorry Mr Charlston, he had gone to the restroom , he's back."
"Come quickly now, its almost midnight." His dad said in a heavy tone
" Yeah, we will Mr Charleston." I replied.
I didn't want Liam's dad to take stress about Liam, so I lied to him, his dad had recently suffered a heart attack and even his mother, because of his father's health conditions used to be depressed most of the times.
"Trent, Liam's not home , and I am sure he won't be with someone else, or maybe, he's with Annabelle, let me call Anna.
I dialled Annabelle's number , I was hoping that Liam would be with her. She picked up after a few rings.
" Anna , is Liam with you? Why didn't you come to today's party. "
"I am really angry at Liam, he's not picking up my calls and I 'm at Zoe's house , that's why I didn't come. Tell Liam if you meet him , I don't fucking want to talk with him , and I am quite pissed at him ,and yes, he's not with me. Bye! "
"But....."
Before, I could continue, she disconnected the call. Now I was afraid . A chill ran down my spine. I sensed something was definitely wrong.
"So Liam's doing what I expected, he's with Annabelle, probably both were in the bed together and you interrupted them..." Trent said cheekily.
"No dude, Liam's nowhere dude, not at his house, nor with Anna,and he isn't even picking up my calls, something's fishy, really fishy dude. Liam 's probably in some serious danger."
Trent laughed loudly and said " Seriously, you 've had too much of love and confessions today , you need to chill dude, he'll be fine."
Suddenly, I felt my phone vibrate , I thought it would be Zara's message.
I took my phone out and saw the notification. It read ' Message from Liam Charleston'
I breathed a sigh of relief. I quickly opened the message and got the biggest shock of my life . It read:
Goodbye ....
