Zayn : I told Andrew that his mom is going to be in an accident while driving so he decided to not let her go out. At that time I don't know how Andrew knew but he said that the accident might take place at 7 p.m. (night) but one day he had to go somewhere with his dad and his mom stayed home so he entrusted me to not let her go out at 7 in night. Of Course i agreed , I wanted to save his mother as much as he wanted but I failed.
.
Ariel : failed?
.
Zayn : I couldn't stop her , she needed to urgently go to her mother's house...I tried. I tried my best. But I couldn't stop her and on her way she…
.
*A tear dropped from Zayn's eyes , this was the first time he ever broke down since 17 years (age 6 to 22) from when he got this power. He turned cold and heartless but deep down he was just broken. He turns his head away not to let Aerial see his broken Zayne but Ariel already noticed the pain behind his mask.
.
Zayn : I was behind her car..I ran behind it..but she didn't stop.. maybe she was also worried about her mother…
.
Ariel : So she…
.
Zayn : died.
.
FLASHBACK :
.
It was raining heavily when the ambulance was taking Andrew's mother's body. Andrew & Zayn both were there. Andrew then came up to Zayn , he stared at him for 1 minute and then punched him in the face.
.
Andrew : You are such a pathetic loser Zayn. I told you to do one task! Do not let her go outZayne! YET! YOU COULDN'T DO A SINGLE THING!
.
*he started beating Zayn and Zayn took it all.. thinking that he might forgive him after that but no..he didn't. His hate just grew bigger and bigger.
.
FLASHBACK ENDED.
.
Ariel : So this is the reason. That's why he hates you.
.
Zayn : yes. I know I am at fault but I was never able to change fate even after seeing it before happening. The only time my vision changed was when you saved kai that day.
.
Ariel : hmm..I know that. Just one question.
.
Zayn : What is it?
.
Ariel : What happened a month ago? Why did he get suspended because of you?
id : Oh that. He tried to bully me but since he broke friendship with me a long time ago and wasn't ready to hear my story , I gave up on him. So we basically became enemies and that's why he started bullying me with his bad boys group but I am not taking his hate anymore so I fought with him and the principal saw us. He checked the CCTV and saw that Andrew was the first one to pick a fight so he suspended him and gave me a warning since I was always isolated to myself and never got engaged in any kind of things and fighting is the least among them.
.
Ariel : ohh..now i get it all...But you know what? You aren't at fault here.
.
*Ariel's sudden statement made Zayn a little shocked so he snapped his eyes at her.
.
Ariel : Believe me, Zayn. It wasn't your fault. I won't say that Andrew is wrong either , he lost his mom and the burden of not saving her makes him go crazy. That's why he keeps pushing the burden of her death on you so that he can convince himself that it wasn't his fault. But in reality he is blaming himself too. I am sure of it.
.
Zayn : ariel your words they are-
.
Ariel : They are what?
.
Zayn : They are comforting but hold pain too... it's as if you have gone through the same thing..
.
Ariel : *smiles halfheartedly* maybe? , you can say that.
.
Zayn : i know i am not at a place to talk here but still..if you are also blaming yourself..then don't. I am quite sure it wasn't your fault too.
.
*This time Zayn's statement left Ariel stunned but she felt at ease. For the first time. It was like there was finally someone in her life with whom she can share the dark secret of her life. Not yet. But some day. She will definitely.
*The end of their conversation led to a silence between the both , not an awkward one though. The silence was peaceful and calm expressing their emotions after talking to each other.
Both of them looked at the view that was displayed in front of their eyes . The weather was cold with some dark clouds but it was all so beautiful with wind that made Ariel's long hair fall back in the opposite direction. Zayn then looked up at Ariel , removing his own hair from his eyes that were covering his beautiful view– His Ariel.
Zayn didn't realize and kept staring at her and just then Ariel looked at him too and his heart stopped , he quickly looked away and got flustered. Ariel looked confused but the bell of collage rang breaking their trance of thoughts.
.
Ariel : Let's go Zayn. The bell just rang.
.
Zayn : *still flustered* ye-ah.
.
*They both went to their class and attended the lectures until it was lunch.
.
Ariel : *taking her bag and hanging it on shoulder* Let's meet at the canteen . I am going to submit my project file to my professor.
.
Zayn : okay..you wanna eat something specific? I can order for you till you arrive.
.
Ariel : double cheese french fries and one coke.
.
Zayn : alright. See you.
.
*Ariel waves her hand a little and leaves the class while Zayn packed his stuff in his backpack and left the class too. He started walking towards the canteen but his steps halted in the middle when he saw a certain someone standing a meter away and glaring at him.
.
Zayn : Andrew. * Zayn took a pause before continuing his sentence not exactly knowing what to say* What do you want now?
.
*Andrew slowly walks up to Zayn and stands beside him , touching his shoulder a little with his. He didn't look at him, he just stood there.
.
Andrew : Just wanna say that...i won't give up that easily and I won't lose to a coward like you Zayn.
.
*With that he left and Zayn cared less because no matter what efforts Andrew made he was quite sure that Ariel won't give a damn. So he just shrugged his warning and again started walking but suddenly his eyesight weakened and his head spun, meaning the vision was going to start , everything was blurry in the beginning but soon got cleared.
.
In the vision , Andrew was having a fight with another bully on the college rooftop. The other guy was trying to punch andrew but he dodged them effortlessly and punched that guy on the face in return which resulted in a nosebleed , the guy got triggered with this and started pushing Andrew to the edge of building…all the people there were enjoying the fight but it all ended with fear when andrew was suddenly pushed off the building...he begins to fall while screaming and was about to touch the ground...but before he could Zayn's vision ended. Zayn gripped his forehead and was about to fall on ground but Ariel caught him on time by gripping his shoulders.
.
Ariel : Zayn!
.
Zayn : Ar-iel.. let's go we need to sa-ve him.
.
*The vision was so traumatic for Zayn that he still has not recovered from the impact so he Starts going somewhere not knowing himself.
.
Ariel : Zayn! Snap out of it! Will ya?!
.
*Ariel slightly taps his cheeks and he slowly begins to come to his consciousness.
.
Zayn : so-rry Ar-riel. I was ju-st..
.
Ariel : It's alright. I understand.
.
*saying that Ariel wrapped her hands around Zayn , slowly and steadily , wanting to comfort him while Zayn was speechless , he wasn't expecting a hug , from his crush on top of that. He felt his heartbeat quickening its pace , his heart was thumping so loud that he was worried what if ariel heard it but none of that mattered when ariel started to make soothing circles on his back , at that moment zayn didn't care about anything. without thinking twice he hugged her back.
It was comforting.
After all these years of being alone and isolated it was finally comforting–in her embrace.
.
Ariel then slowly broke the hug pushing some of zayn's hair lightly from his eyes.
Ariel : Let's go to the cafeteria and tell me everything there. Okay?
.
Zayn : *nods slowly* okay.
.
*Ariel smiled at him & they both left for the cafeteria.
