Chapter 10 - Hannah's remorse

Hannah's POV:

After slapping Dylan, I immediately regretted my actions but I was so filled with rage that I didn't utter any other word to him and left.

After I left their house, I was on my way to home but after a while my feet stopped and my legs became numb they didn't took a step further because I was feeling contrite about what I did.

Suddenly my body got out of control and my remorse dominated my will.

Without me knowing my leg started walking back to their house. I didn't want to go back but my heart started controlling my body movements instead of my brain.

I didn't want to apologize to him because he was the one who needs to be sorry but my heart wanted me to do the opposite because of my over react.

With in the blink of my eyes I was very close to his house. I was at a distance where I could see his house clearly.

Before I could walk any further someone slightly pushed me with his shoulder.

"Oh... I am sorry" the man who hit me sad mockingly.

"It's okay" I gave him an annoying face. Looking at them, it seemed that they were stray boys and because I was alone in all that alley, i got frightened.

I gathered all my courage and started walking fast.

When I looked back,  they were also following me.

"Hey wait pretty girl! where are you going so fast?" Red hair boy shouted.

"Yeah just tell us so we will also accompany you *evilish laugh*." the boy with black hair said while stopping me by grabbing my hand.

I got scared and tried to free my hand. I was so petrified that I started panicking. I tried to run away from them but their grip was so tight on my wrist that I was helpless. I started to shout for help but grey hair boy cover my mouth with his hand so that I could not make any noise.

He then took me to a dark, quite and empty place followed by the other two. I started screaming my lungs out but it was all in vein because no one could hear me.

I was crying and crying my heart out as there was no one to help me.

"Remove her clothes *smirk*." Red head ordered the grey head who was covering my mouth.

His words made me stunned. My eyes widened and my body started shivering. I again tried my best to free myself but black head slapped me hard which made my lips to bleed.

Grey head came closer to me and was about to touch me then suddenly someone hit his head with a brick.

"Ahh..." he shouted in pain and then fainted at the spot.

My mind suddenly got confused about what happened I started trying to understand the situation and before I could analyse anything, i saw Dylan with wrathful eyes.

He punched black head on his face and along with that he kicked the red head boy in this stomach and made him fell on the ground.

The black head boy wiped the blood from his lips and hit him back.

I suddenly screamed because Dylan fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, red head boy got up from the ground and came to me then dragged me by my arm.I started calling Dylan screamingly.

He got up from the ground and again hit the redhead. Blackhead then immediately grabbed him from behind and red head boy hit the Dylan with a steel rod on his head which he picked up from the ground.

That hit made Dylan dizzy but he shook his head to stop himself from fainting. He then took a deep breath and grabbed redhead from the collar and punched him few times on his face which made him dropped the rod on the ground.

Dylan hurriedly picked that rod and started beating both of them.

After a while, they both screamed and begged for their life but Dylan was full of anger that he didn't stop for a second.

I looked at him scaredly and shouted his name.

"Dylan.... please stop!" I shouted and started crying more loudly.

He then stopped beating them and both the boys ran away while dragging the fainted one.

Dylan turned to looked at me surprised of his own actions. He quickly ran towards me and lifted me up from the ground.

"Are you ok?" he asked worriedly but I only cried instead of replying him.

" Hey... Hey... it's okay.. everything is fine now." he wiped my tears and hug me. Before I could hug him back he backed away.

"I-I am sorry I didn't hug you on purpose I was just...." before he could finish his sentence I hugged him tightly.

He suddenly became silent on my action. "Can we talk for a while somewhere nice?" I asked him while breaking the hug. "Y-yes of course.." he replied puzzled and I chuckled on his reaction.

"But before that, we need to apply some ointment on your lips." He said while looking at my lips.

"It's okay... I'm fine."

"No you're not.." he gave me a worried look.

We went to a medical store and bought some ointment and apply it on my lips. After that we walked to look for a better place to talk.

After walking for a few minutes we both reached at a cafe. We went inside and set on a quite place.

"Do you want to eat something." He asked.

"One Latte only"

"Okay... excuse me.. two late please." he placed our order.

"Ummm...* took a deep breath* I-I am sorry for my misbehaviour at your house." I said awkwardly while looking at my feet. "No no It's okay everyone have their own way of thinking anyway. So there's no need to say sorry. Actually I am the one who needs to apologize..." his words made me more ashamed of my behaviour.

" No no I am really sorry. I overreacted.

I am ashamed of my actions. Actually I am not like that. I just panicked whenever someone tried to get close to me and that made me out of control." I said still looking down.

"What..? But why?" he was shocked at my words.

"Yes"

"By the way is there any specific reason for that." he asked anxious.

"Umm...first of all thanks for saving me earlier and secondly.. I can't answer your question because it's something personal." I mumbled the last part and bit my lower lip.

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me then it's perfectly fine and you don't need to thank me for saving you. " he said with a big smile on his face.

"Thank you for understanding me." I grinned and he is smiled back.

"Ummm... by the way the thing... I said to you earlier in university... what do you think about that..? I mean it's obvious by your actions but I still want to hear it directly from you?" he askedly eagerly while looking at me with his questioning eyes and bit his lips.

"Ahh.. about that I will think about it. Please give me some time. " I replied.

"So it means you are not rejecting me right?" he asked shockingly and I just nodded my head.

"Oh my god really?" he shouted happily, jumping for joy.

"Umm.. maybe yes." I chuckled on his action.

"You know, you look so beautiful when you smile." he said while looking at me with his eyes filled with love and made me blush.

His words was so sudden that made me so shy. I didn't make eye contact with him and looked continously at my hands but thankfully our order arrived at the same time.

Serena's POV:

I was resting in my room when suddenly I heard door bell rang. I thought it was Dylan so I went to open the door hurriedly  but as soon as I open it I was shocked to see the person in front of me.

"What are you doing here!?" I asked him.
