Chapter 25

At least she would share her problem with Quinn if she is not comfortable with me. Then why she didn't? Quinn's POV: It's my first time to see him broken completely. He had been strong when he lost his memories but now he's completely broken. The willpower he had in his mind been shattered because of one girl. He loves her so much. Please, Sheila, be safe for us. My eyes welled with tears but I hid my emotion not wanting to add more salt to his wound. "She will come back soon." I patted his shoulder even though I'm unsure of my own words. He is completely in a total mess, I couldn't assume what would have happened to her. We tried our best to reach her but no vain. Her phone has been switched off and Kevin tried his best to track her number but again no aid. I have started to feel worried about him. He was so excited to see her again but was now fully disappointed. He even promised me to let her know about his feelings once our vacation was over. I felt his weight on my shoulder getting heavy, probably he has been passed out. I laid him on his bed and pulled the blanket over him. Letting out a long sigh, I walked out of his room. I don't know what's going to happen but I pray it's not what we are afraid of. Maybe we can expect her by tomorrow if nothing bad happened to her. ~~~~ Right now, we are in the cafeteria trying to have breakfast, but who I'm kidding he was stubborn as hell to eat. He hasn't eaten anything from the morning, so I dragged him here but he didn't touch his food, instead, he was looking somewhere on the tree probably staring at the two birds who look adorable in each other's hand. "Hi, guys! How are you? Long time no see!!" A familiar voice sent a chill down to my spine. She is safe and secure. Our eyes widen in shock when we saw who is standing in front of us. Kevin chocked his water he had been drinking while Harry's eyes remained on her who has an unreadable expression shrinking on his face. Suddenly, he stood up from his seat and grabbed her hand before dragging her away out of our sight. Sheila's POV: I longed to see him these days. I was kept thinking about him. What was he doing? Did he eat or not. Did he miss me like I miss him? Lots of questions arose in my mind. I enjoyed myself with my parents. Everyday early morning, I and Karem went to Church and did some chores as we do in our childhood. In these six months, he has been grown a lot. I had spent a fine time with my little brother. We went to the movie, Snow Kingdom, the amusement park in Queensland, and the part where we had dinner in our favourite restaurant, Paradise, was my memorable list. But all those times I felt my half part was draining as it is craving for someone. I really missed him. Karem's exams are nearer, so he asked me to buy him a Laptop for doing his project assignment but I haven't had enough money for that. I had a plan to buy him a laptop when his exams will come but I lost all my savings on the very first day of my college. I don't want him to be sad, so I offered him my phone which he gladly accepted. Unlike me, he is weak in his chemistry, so he asked me to teach him a subject. My leave was exceeded because of him and I didn't inform anyone, even the college management. Why should I? I hate all of them. "I don't want to go." I cried on my mom's shoulder like it's my first time leaving them. My mom cried with me and I ended up convincing her by saying I will visit them often. Unknown emotion flood through my heart when I reached Bangalore and My heart jolted with happiness by the thinking of seeing him again. Once I entered the campus I directly made my way to the principal room to explain why I hadn't shown up. I don't like the idea of him come to my class and ask the question, 'Why did you take the whole week leave without my concern?' like how a professional principal does and especially 'Who gave you permission?' in his harsh tone to keep his ego. To avoid these confrontations I came with a lie that my grandma died a week ago, so I have no option but to stay. Since everyone was mourning her loss, I was unable to inform you about my leave. I framed the lies very well and saw him whipping his eyes with the tissue. Oh, God!! He was emotionally turned on. But it was partially true. When I was in my fourth grade, my grandma died and I had taken the whole week leave in my school. "Should I leave?" He gave me a sympathetic look before dismissing me. After finishing all the formalities I went to my class but it was empty. I glanced at my wristwatch and it read past eleven. So I went to the cafeteria and there I saw them having breakfast. "Hi, guys! How are you? Long time no see." I greeted them with happiness. I expected a crush of group hug but--to my contrary, all their eyes widen in shock like they saw a ghost. All of a Sudden Harry stood up from his place and grabbed my hand before dragging me out of the place to God knows where. "Harry, What are you doing? You are hurting me." I yelled. But he didn't seem to care what I was saying. "Harry Stop it," I yelled once again when we passed the bunch of students outside my classroom. We gained all their attention but he ignored their stares and pushed me inside the room before locking it behind.
