Chereads / The Twist in Turn / Chapter 15 - Chapter 14

Chapter 15 - Chapter 14

Hazel's POV

I'm officially the biggest clown in the whole of America,I wondered why everyone around me took me as a joke including life.

"I remember telling you clearly to stay away from the part of the house,what the fuck are you doing here?"the hostile deep voice of Xavier came,I stood there dumbfounded as I stared right at him unable to answer his question,his face contorted into a frown.

How did I get here?

A little flashback, shall we?

After the 'incident' between me and Xavier, he went away for a whole week and when he came back, he was on another whole level of cold,we went from zero to a hundred degrees below zero,he was way meaner than before and I avoided him at all costs,I sighed and turned uncomfortably in my bed for what seemed like hours unable to sleep, finally I decided to get out for a snack and some air,I went out of my room quietly and strode to the kitchen, rummaging the cupboards looking for what to eat,i felt like I was intruding but I didn't really care,I wanted to appease the growling monster,I loved midnight snacks,it's always a wonder how I was still in shape,I was almost done with the bag of chips when I heard a noise echo around the house,I picked up a frying pan, holding onto it for dear life with the intentions of smashing the brain out of the skull of any moron who was trying to burgle or steal,I listened carefully,I heard the noise again,but it came from upstairs,I dropped the frying pan and went over to Xavier's room where I suspected that the noise had come from,my suspicion was correct,I listened again for a minute before opening the door, surprisingly it wasn't locked like I expected it to be,he tossed and turned in his bed,his face was covered in cold sweat,he looked like he was having a nightmare,he mumbled something words,I heard something like ' don't leave ' ' mum '

I shook him slightly,he grabbed my hand tightly which made me shake him harder,the wind was knocked out of me as Xavier suddenly threw me on the bed,pinned my hands above my head and trapped my body with his,I was too stunned to move,we stayed in that position for a moment on realisation dawned on his face,he quickly got off me and pushed me off the bed,I stumbled around the room and managed to get a good footing,I sighed before turning around to face a furious Xavier.

"Why the fuck are you here?"

I raised my brow a bit taken aback by his harsh tone,but I shook it off.

"I heard sounds coming from here so I came to check what it was,I thought something bad had happened to you." I said through gritted teeth.

" I don't appreciate your concern,now leave and don't you ever come in here again" he pointed towards the door leading out of his room " get out"

I glared at him and walked out of his room angrily,I blamed myself over and over again for snooping around,I went back to the kitchen and grabbed a pack of Doritos,stomped back to my room,munched heavily on my snack before going to bed and swearing under my breath at the blue eyed devil I was supposedly living with,the thought of  Xavier having nightmares tugged silently at the back of my mind,while I tried my best to ignore it.

"And then we went for the Fans meeting and I finally got to touch Oppa Jimin's hand, it was surreal. " an overly excited Cass gushed as she filled me in on all the things she did,she came over and I was so glad for the company, the house was so suffocating , I felt very happy for her but she noticed right away that everything was not bliss.

"What's wrong?" She asked scrunching her face, just when I was about to deny, she glared at me" Don't even try to tell me everything is fine"

I gave a nervous smile "it's just mood swings,that's all,you know, that time of the month" she seemed unsure for a few seconds but she bought it anyways,I felt really bad for the lies,she was nothing but an absolutely sweet and nice person to me,while I was the lying bitch,my conscience pricked but I kept telling myself that it was worth it.

"Oh would you look at the time,I have to go now,I promised Jace that I'd cook dinner today but I don't know what to make,darn it"I shook my head at Her outburst,a part of me envying her "can you help? Any ideas?" She suddenly asked.

"Hmm let's start with the basics,what can you cook?" I asked

She gave a sheepish smile and answered "nothing,unfortunately."

"You are kidding right?" I laughed,not that I had anything against her not being able to cook,to me it was kinda like a basic survival skill.

"Well you see,my parents are really rich and we literally had cooks living with us,so I wasn't really interested,but now I am and I'm realizing that this is going to be a total disaster."she breathed out looking frustrated.

"Well you are in luck,My grandpa taught me his infamous pasta recipe and trust me,it blows minds"her face broke out in a big smile and she hugged me and said something along the lines of me being her Saviour and how she would worship me if this turned out well,we spent thirty minutes discussing the recipe and she was getting the hang of it and even taking notes.

"And lastly do not forget the sauce,it's the most important thing"I finished and she broke into a round of applause and then we both ended up in fits of laughter.

"But seriously Haze,I'm really really glad to have you as a friend,I know it's too soon to call you my best friend,but I feel like I can trust you,thank you so much,gotta run,later girl" with one last hug,she left leaving me to feel even more guilt than before,but I was determined to live,at least live long enough to treasure this new found friendship that somewhat gave me hope and comfort.
