Chapter Thirty-Five
***HANNAH'S POV***
Two weeks had slowly drifted by since the whole situation at Melissa's party. Ever since it happened, I felt slightly odd, like I wasn't myself. I felt like a lost star beyond the sky, slowly floating in space. A chunk of me was ripped from me and I didn't have it in me to socialise. I felt safe in my room, a place where I knew no harm could come to me.
My mum, dad, Ava and Ruby convinced me to get out, obtain fresh air, but I wanted to stay put and be alone. I felt like if I did any excessive movements, my asthma would get the better of me and attack.
I wasn't able to recall the last time I saw Zac. All I could remember was calling out his name as I drifted into darkness. A pang of pain hit my heart as he didn't offer to see how I was. I knew deep down he owed me nothing, he was nothing to me and didn't have a reason to visit or check on my well-being.
Once Ruby told me the full story of what happened, part of me, wished that he came and showed how much he cared for me as I couldn't help but care for him. Another part of me, didn't want to see him, hence why I declined going with my parents and Ava to their house.
My back was leaning against the windowsill, where the window was open to flood in the fresh and crisp air from the night sky. The street lights illuminated the surrounding and speckled bouts of rain fell down, creating a pitter patter wave of sounds.
I extended my hand and felt the water splash onto my hand. The combination of the rain and cold air hitting me, produced a fresh swell of calmness. I closed my eyes so that I was able to focus of the peaceful sound and feel of the rain.
Within minutes my eyes shot open to the sound of the door banging. After a few seconds of waiting, the bang echoed again. Pushing myself up, I trodded down the stairs in confusion, thinking who it could be.
I had assumed it was my parents and Ava, but when I opened the door, I froze in shock. My eyes shot open and my heart started to thump against my chest.
Just beyond the falling rain, Zac stood there, squirming his eyes, making sure not to be blinded by the excessive amount of water.
"Are you going to let me in?" He called out.
After snapping out of my trance, I backed up, opening the door to enable Zac to enter. As he closed the distance between us, my feet automatically slammed against the floor going towards the draw full of towels. I extended my arm, offering one to him.
"Thanks," Zac whispered as he took the towel from me.
I closely followed his movements as he dried himself. The rain turned his soft locks of hair, into a beautiful damp style. I was fighting the urge not to run to him and brush my hands in his hair.
"What are you doing here? Why are you here?" I asked, demanding an answer.
"I came to see how you're feeling-"
"Really?" I quickly scoffed interrupting him. "After two weeks?"
"I wanted to give you space." Zac lowered his head, in a way of trying to avoid meeting my eyes.
"I think its best if you leave before Melissa-"
"We broke up." In an instant Zac shot his head, and softened his deep green pupils, showing his sincerity.
My head slightly jerked back at the unexpected news. For a moment I stood still, trying to comprehend if I had heard the right thing.
"Did Ruby not tell you? I broke up with her on the night of-" Zac's word faded at the painful memory of what happened the night of the party.
I shuddered at the feeling that fell back to me. I urged my brain to push the horrifying events away from me. Just like a flip of a switch, I couldn't help but feel a glory flood into me, knowing that Melissa and Zac were no longer together.
"Oh right," I responded trying to conceal my happiness. "Well, I'm okay, you know now, so you can go."
I waved my hands towards the door, ushering for him to leave, but Zac stood his ground. He cocked his head to the side, boring his alluring pupils into me. Heat started to rise and expand within me as I felt like I was melting into a beautiful bliss.
"We need to talk-"
"About?" I interjected, turning my eyes away from him, trying to get rid of the way he made me feel.
We fell into a beautiful silence. We both couldn't find the right words to fill the quietness between us. Tension started to wrap us around like a rope, slowly pulling us closer.
"We need to talk about us," Zac sighed as he, bit by bit, started to close the gap between us.
It almost felt like the closer her got, the more warmer and safe I felt. Although I just wanted to relax with his arms wrapped around me, there was a worry and fear of being hurt. My mind and heart was tired and I couldn't bear anymore.
"Us?" I questioned. "There is no us."
Just as Zac opened his mouth to counter argue, I swooped in first. My words started to fumble out of my mouth and I had no control over my hands. I decided to close the gap between us, but frustration was masking my entire body. My hands flung towards Zac, pushing him away.
"I don't get you. You make fun of me, you say shit to me. Then you act like you care. You act like you're worried about me. What game are you trying to play-"
"Hannah," Zac mumbled, trying to get a word in.
Ignoring him, I continued to barge my hands on his broad chest, trying to push him and my feelings away from me.
"I've had enough! Stop acting like you care and leave me alone." Just as I extended my arm to give one last shove, Zac caught my hand in a swift move.
Within seconds I was halted by his strong hold. His hands grappled onto mine, forcing them to the side. Whilst still in his hold, his body and face came close, just mere inches away from mine. His hot and heavy breath landed on my skin, like I had been yearning for it.
My breaths became heavy, with my chest bobbing up and down. His green liquid pupils was setting my entire body in a blaze of bliss. I pressed my lips together, cursing myself internally, for enjoying the way he made me feel.
"Zac please," I whispered, trying to get hold of my self.
His hands started to caress mine, which shot an electricity bolt down my arms. I didn't realise the way in which we were gravitating backwards, till I hit the wall and I was unable to move further.
Zac towered over me and I was forced to inch my head upwards. I felt this unbearable desire and longing, I was close to breaking point, seconds away from succumbing to my feelings.
"Push me away. Tell me to go. Say no and I'll leave." Zac's seductive deep voice rumbled into my ears, causing a vibration around my body. Deep down I didn't want him to leave. I wanted him here with me forever.
Zac leaned closer, pressing his forehead onto mine. Our eyes were locked together, but they fell onto my lips, there was something holding him back from kissing me. His eyes were now dark with desire and I was close to combusting into flames. Our lips were now hovering over each other, his warm breath fanned my lips and I was starting to get hungry for him.
Just a fraction of movement made all the difference. His soft and supple lips delicately touched mine and and shockwaves were rippling into my core. Zac backed his head and I instantly started to miss the feeling of his lips on mine.
His right hand left mine and clasped the side of my head, with his thumb running over my lips. A shudder danced down my spine. A shaky and course breath escaped my mouth. I was slowly loosing myself, with his scorching gaze ready to devour me.
But, just as I was about to give in, something within me clicked. It was like my life flashed before my eyes. Every aspect of my life, ranging from my spats with Zac, disagreements with Melissa and her raging jealousy that almost destroyed me, how I felt knowing my intense feelings for Zac and how it shattered me when he got with me Melissa, flashed into my mind like a movie.
My guard came up, my protection came between us and I gathered all my strength into a fireball and mustered the courage to push Zac away.
"Stop! Just go home." It pained me to let those words leave my mouth.
Zac seemed as if I ripped his heart out and trampled all over it. Just as he was about to protest, I lifted my hand up as a way of pleading.
"Please Zac, just go," I trembled as a sob rose and my eyes started to filter with water.
"Okay," he sighed. "Let me know when you're ready talk. See you around."
"No you won't." Slipped out of my mouth as if I had no control over my tongue.
Zac jerked himself back, shifting his head to the side, looking at my quizzically.
"What do you mean?" He asked trying to get some clarification.
"I'm leaving for university tomorrow," I let out in a low voice.
"So? It's only Manchester. You'll be back on the weekends, right?" He remarked as if he knew what was planned in my life.
I slowly shook my head and plucked the strength to let him know the truth.
"I've accepted my offer to study business studies in New York-"
"What? New York? You're going New York? Hannah this is mad! You can't go New York." Zac seemed flustered as he interrupted me. He started to pace up and down the hall as if he couldn't figure out what was happening.
Furry started to raise in me. Clenching my jaws down and wiping away the speckled tears that left my eyes, I marched towards Zac, shoving him to face me.
"What's it to you?" I bellowed out. "Who are you to tell me I can't go? You have no right. Now please, go! Get out and leave me alone."
"You can't go." Zac shook his head, as he visibly showed his disagreement.
"I can and I will. I need to get away from everything-"
"You mean you need to get away from me?" He questioned, stopping me from finishing what I needed to say.
All my rage flushed out of me as if black magic was ejecting from my body. Physically and mentally I was tired. I didn't want to burden myself of the feelings I had for Zac. It pained him for me to say those words.
As he was about to open his mouth to plead once again, my eyes softened and I shook my head, begging for him to leave. It took all his strength to back away from me and walk towards the door.
As he opened the door to exit, the light taps of the rain flooded into the house. A slight cold wind waved into me, causing me to mourn the feeling of closeness from Zac.
"Good luck with New York. Goodbye Hannah," Zac mumbled as he took his step towards outside.
"Goodbye Zac." I forced myself to say just as he closed the door behind him.
Why did I feel horrible?
All of sudden I was yearning and mourning for him. Knowing that I was close to having Zac, he was within my grasp, I was close to letting him know how I truly felt and I watched him slip away. It felt like a knife had jabbed into my heart. Destroying the little happiness I had in me.
My feet were glued to the floor and I didn't have it in me to run after him. The longer I stood there, I could feel myself grow more in distance from Zac.
I couldn't help but think
I may have made the biggest mistake ever...
