The night had deepened, and the world outside the car had become a sea of twinkling city lights. Inside, he shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his eyes never leaving the image of Violet he saw in the past making him confused he was furious angry the feeling he suppressed rose again. His jealousy had transformed into a yearning that he could no longer deny. "He had fallen in love with her, deeply and irrevocably", he couldn't bear to see her heart broken as he had in the past the person he met looked like her but something was different her aura was cold, and that emotionless gaze showed her empty soul pale white face long black hair covering her with black attire and alcohol in hand the resemble was totally opposite of violet he knew a sigh escaped his mouth as he start to drive trying to get her off the mind the.

Sebastian-"My mistake was to let you go I want you I need you my addiction my drug is you Violet where are you?'

As night went by -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

5 YEARS AGO~

On this rainy day, Violet found herself walking through the university corridors, feeling both relieved and apprehensive about her newfound freedom from her controlling ex-boyfriend, Kenjin. She was unaware that Kenjin was lurking nearby, tracking her every move, determined to win her back.

As Violet walked through the university campus, her path crossed with Sebastian's. He had been watching her from afar, his gaze fixed on her as if drawn by an invisible force. Something about her had piqued his curiosity and tugged at his heartstrings.

Before Sebastian could approach her his friend took him with them not knowing he left suddenly, an unexpected and unwelcome interruption occurred. Kenjin, driven by jealousy and anger, came rushing towards Violet, grabbing her forcefully as she attempted to leave the corridor. His actions sent shivers down her spine, and the touch made her feel like she was dying inside, her heartbeat pounding with fear. 

Dragging her out of there in an empty lecture hall trapping her in between pushing her onto wall harshly as her fragile body was stuck between his pair of arms tear start to form in her eyes as she tried to escape from there only to be caught back by Kenjin laughing at her pathetic and scared look her start to come close to her even though she tried to avoid  him but luck wasn't on her said he was way more strong than her 

Kenjin- "What do you think you would leave the town and move somewhere new and I won't know you are mine tonight now be a good girl a come at your owner"

hearing that, disgust filled her knowing how he treated her like a dog trying to force himself on her little her not knowing from the start he was her stalker regretting everything she pushed him gathering up the courage.

Violet-"Leave me alone got that "

she shouted trying to run away only to be pulled back by Kenjin as she started to come close to her trying to kiss her forcefully there was a sound of a thud and a gasp escaped her mouth She looked up it was SEBASTIAN who punched him

Kenjin- "What the heck dude this chick is mine find yours"

hearing that he started to punch Kenjin she stopped him with her small fragile body trying to separate both of them she hugged SEBASTIAN from behind trying to hold him back as she continued 

VIOLET-"Sebastian please stop now"

hearing that his hands stopped her grip on him tightened with her eyes shut cause of fear a moment of silence filled her as she looked and got back as he continued

SEBASTIAN-" TOUCH HER AGAIN TRUST ME YOU WILL NEVER BE FOUND AGAIN"

grabbing her hand he left the room with the unknown feeling of anger burning inside him he looked at her, on she was looking at him with tears in her eyes he was looking at her in that state she was thanking him he suddenly pulled her close as a boy on skateboard passed by could have hit her.

Both were looking at each other his firm slender finger still gripping her ,The atmosphere was charged with tension, and uncertainty felt lost in her eyes he wanted to protect her both could hear each other heartbeat which was beating fast the moment was interrupted by loud thunder as it was raining outside she shut her eyes in fear covering her ears and move back slowly she thanked him for helping her again and left from there. 

As Sebastian was looking at her disappearing figure not knowing what was going on inside a thunderstorm of love arose between them too. , both Violet and Sebastian chose to avoid each other, unsure of how to navigate their unknown feelings. Their paths diverged as they retreated into their own worlds, but a slow build of trust began to form within each of them.

One day, fate intervened when both Violet and Sebastian found themselves in detention. Forced to spend time together in the same room seeing each other a moment of awkwardness was there sitting beside each other  Violet was sitting silently looking out of cloudy cool weather and Sebastian was looking at her figure

An average height maybe 5'6 and the oversized hood covered her underneath sculpted body which was hidden  & her chocolate brown hair was clutched in claw clip and skinny jeans covered her leg with black sneakers and minimal makeup that complemented her natural face with almond eyes with black orbs and her light pink lips curled up in small smile as she was admiring the sky and his eyes was trailing her from up to down .

  Violet caught him staring at her as she turned towards him and decided to break the ice .

Violet- umm . Thanks for helping me before. Sebastian 

As she looked at him the perfect image formed in her eyes as , He is slightly taller than average, standing at 6'2" , with a lean and athletic well- build that suggested he took care of himself. His hair, a rich chestnut brown, falls in unruly waves, adding to his enigmatic charm. Often, a lock of hair falls over his forehead, partially obscuring his piercing light brown eyes.

Sebastian's clothing choices are a blend of understated elegance and comfort. he's dressed in a well-fitted,its collar turned up against the rain. Beneath the jacket, he wears a simple black sweater that accentuates his lean physique, paired with dark jeans that fit him perfectly. His black leather boots are polished to a subtle shine, hinting at meticulous attention to detail.

His facial features are chiseled, with a strong jawline and a few days' worth of stubble, giving him a rugged and slightly brooding appearance. Although he rarely smiles, when he does, it's a moment of genuine warmth that reveals the depth of his emotions.

Sebastian nodded as he asked a question that left her stunned as she tried to keep herself from crying 

Sebastian -"WHO WAS THE GUY ON THAT DAY IN HALL?"

Violet- he was my ex we broke up a year ago even after that he used to stalk me so I got transferred here and now he is here too ~

a sigh escaped her mouth as he nodded there was silence again both of them were minding up their own work until detention was over both were asleep late by evening,As Violet's eyes opened ,outside it was already dark and  8 pm on the clock Violet rushed to open the door and get outside only to her dismay it was locked 

Violet- Helloo is anyone there??? 

she started to shout but it was already late she kept banging soon it getting Sebastian's attention who was sleeping  he woke up stretching out bit he walked towards her 

Sebastian- what happens now?

Violet- we are locked here! dude 

Sebastian- so?

Violet- so? what so?

she said with a frown on her head and continued 

-My phone is dead and I don't wanna stay with you here 

Sebastian scoffed and walked towards her as she walked back hitting the door as he walked closer to her as said in a deep voice sending shivers down her spine 

- "EVERY GIRL PRACTICALLY THORW HERSELF ON ME AND YOU DON'T WANT TO STAY WITH ME WHY?"

Violet- cause maybe they do but

"I don't like playboys who just play with feeling"  ik  you helped me and I am very thankful but just no 

hearing that a scoff left his mouth, he felt a sudden rush of anger as he trapped her in between a strong pair of arms hovering over her small body as she gulped down her heartbeat increased as he was staring at her face ,coming close to her his body sudden weaken falling on her as he buried his face in her collar bone sniffing her essence which was making him insane it was the most soothing smell of addiction Violet was too stunned to speak on what happened his hands left wall his weight was too much for her 

Violet- Hey? Sebastian? are you ok?

she said patting his back who was unconscious pushing him away she looked at him he was unconscious slowly she settled him down sitting beside him as there was no fever what happened Checking on his pulse it felt normal too , with a confused look she came near him suddenly

his eyes were half open looking at her he grabbed her by the neck and attached his lips to hers she was so shocked at what happened her eyes widened in shock a thunderstorm struck her her body stiffened he was pulling her in gaining her composure,She pushed him backing off as he continued in faint voice 

SEBASTIAN-"I MISSED YOU ATHENA"

------------------------------------spoiler--------------------------------------------------

the magnetic pull that seemed to draw him to her, even in this undesirable situation. The tension between them was palpable, a mixture of unresolved feelings and unspoken words.

As the clock ticked on, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. It was then that the door creaked open, and a new character, Athena, stepped into the room. She was a striking presence, her eyes full of mystery and charisma. Her arrival seemed to shift the balance of the room, and both Violet and Sebastian couldn't help but be captivated by her.

Athena's entrance disrupted the silent standoff between Violet and Sebastian, casting a new layer of complexity onto their dynamic. It was as if fate had intervened to challenge their emotions, adding another layer of tension to the already charged atmosphere.

" This university detention room at night, where love and tension danced in the shadows, Athena's arrival signaled the beginning of a new chapter, one that would unravel secrets and ignite unexpected connections between these characters."
