#chapter1

She was walking into her class. Her head was clouded with millions of thoughts. Today, she had decided to propose him. She didn't even had imagined that she'll fall for him. Its was unexpected. A month ago he had proposed her, but as a girl who is not interested in love, she respectfully, without hurting him, she rejected. As a best friend, he understood her. He knows very well that she is not interested in love. That day onwards, he tried to be normal as how they were when they were best friends even if it was hurting him that he couldn't make her his. But she noticed a bit change in him after that rejection incident. She want that old him. She want that old Ryan, who always annoys her, who always teases her, who always flirt other girls with her, who always hurt her by pinching her, but he stopped all of this.

Now, he is acting like he is just an ordinary friend. The old Ryan was a close friend, who knows every secret of her. Who was always like a big brother for her.

It hurts her. She always tell him that "Ryan, please... I want that old you. I told you that I don't like to be into relationship. Please.. Ewww its shameful that our badboy is sad. I can't even imagine being in a relationship. It'll be weird if we both weirdos become couples haha. "I told you Xena, I'm okay. I'm normal. I don't hate you for that. I understood you very well. I'm pretty normal right?. And I'm not a weirdo, I'm a badboy.. Badboy Ryan.. " By saying this he tries to hide his feelings. He tries to make her laugh. But as a girl who knows him more than others do, she realises that he is hurt.

Today, she is gonna propose him. She is not sure that he'll accept her. But a little hope. She went inside the classroom. There she saw him, sitting there waiting for her. When he saw her, he smiled at her. She smiled at him back and went to their seat. As she sat near him, Ryan asked her "Hey Xena........ Today is maths test. Had you prepared for it?. I know you did, so as a best friend I need a help from you". Then he pouted. Xena already knew what is he gonna ask.

"No way... You have to study by your own" she said and flicked his head. He slapped her face lightly to annoy her and the war begins. Xena has no idea where/ when/ How will she propose him. Now, its physics period, teacher is absent. So she decided to give him a hint about the proposal. She started by flicking him. He was completely annoyed by this and asked her why?. She said nothing. "Ryan, if I propose you, will you accept me?" She asked acting cool. "If you propose me I won't accept you, bad girl" said Ryan. "I'm a good boy. I won't fall for you" by saying this Ryan grabbed her spectacles and put it on, and started acting like he is studying by reading a book. Xena knew that he was just acting. So she just laughed it off.

______________________________________________

"Ryan..." Xena called him, as they both were walking through that way in which Ryan proposed her. The sky was a bit dark. This made both of them remember that proposal day. The weather was exactly same as that day. Xena was nervous. She was sweating. No one was there. Only them.  "What Xena?" He asked. "Ryan.." Xena again called him. "What Xena?. You have anything to tell me?". But she remained quiet.

"Xena, you remember that day when I proposed you?. This cloudy day reminds me about that day. That was an awkward day, right?" Then he started laughing. He was actually crying inside, but he laughed outside to make her think that he is fine. She smiled at him. Then both of them remained silent. Both of them were communicating through silence.

Ryan's POV

I wish she had accepted me. But unfortunately she didn't. I always used to think that I'm perfect until I proposed her. She had always ranked a special position in my heart till the day we became friends. But it all started in a fight. Actually, I was her bully till that day we became friends. From that day, she had always be by my side. She was different from other girls I had met in my whole life. It is hilarious now, to think that I always used to bully her. If she had proposed me, No I must had intertwined my hands with her and walked to our home. But I am unlucky. I think a boy like me don't deserve her. I always try to keep her out of my mind, but I couldn't. She'll get a man who is far better than me. But dear Xena, Thanks for the beautiful memory that you gave me. The highschool is gonna end. Its better for me to not to take this seriously. In the end, everything and everyone will remain just as an unforgettable memory. But I already took this seriously. I let out a sigh. But dear Xena, I will always love you with all my heart. Nobody can replace you in this Ryan's heart. Xena, You never knew the craziness I have on you. The craziness for your love. But you didn't understood my love for you.

Xena's POV

He was my crush since he was my bully. He is still my crush. The reason I rejected him was I think I'm not perfect also my parents are strict. They had warned me not to get into any relationship. I'm afraid to love. I'm afraid because I think I'll hurt him. I'm ugly, I'm talentless, I'm only know to write well in the exams, I'm a nerd, I don't know to love. I don't know how to express it. But he is handsome, he is talented, he is famous, he is almost perfect. Every girls in our school crave for him. Everyone was jealous because he sits with me. Because he is nice to me. But I'm not a perfect match for him. But why did he proposed me?.

I'm nervous to propose him. I think I better not propose him. Cuz I don't deserve him.

THE END OF THE POV.

And so, Xena decided not to propose him. She is like this. If she ever felt like she is not good enough, she will give up. They both are also neighbors. They both reached their home. Both of them were distracted by each of their thoughts. They can get each other out of their mind. They were drowned in each others thought.

Days passed....
Last day of Highschool....

Xena's POV

After the send-off celebration, I was waiting for my dad's car to arrive. Today, dad has promised me to pick me up. How fast did the days gone!. I am feeling like I'm still that nursery kid. Nothing has changed in mine. I am not feeling like to go home. How wonderful was my school days!. I think I have to forget Ryan. Or else, I can't live peacefully. I had already stopped talking to him. He was confused by my sudden strange behavior.

*flashback*
19-1-2014

"Xena, what's wrong with you?. Nowadays, you are not talking to me. Why are you acting weird nowadays?. You never know how much it hurts when you are not talking to me. Is there anything wrong?" He is asking the same question for more than half an hour. I am still remaining silent. Sorry Ryan, I have to get used by not talking to you. "Xena please come to our seat" His voice cracked. I stood up from my seat called the teacher and told him that Ryan is disturbing me. He yelled "GeT oUt" at Ryan. With a confused and broken facial expression, he went out of the class.

*End of the flashback*

From that day onwards, we didn't had a conversation. I think I am getting used without him. But during the whole class, his eyes is on me. I always pretend that I didn't saw him. Today, before leaving from the school, I heard from one of his friends that he is searching me. If I saw him, I'm sure that I'll cry. To avoid that, I came here. I don't wanna see him. A part of me is wishing to see him, to say a one last goodbye to him. But I ignored that part. Tomorrow, I'll head to England. I won't come back. Sorry Ryan, Sorry for hurting you.

The end of the POV.

Ryan's POV

I'm hurt, I'm broke, I'm betrayed. Why did she did that to me?. Why I have to suffer this?. Is it because I am ugly?, is it because I am not perfect?. I loved her with my whole heart. She broke me. I should not had leave her like that. I must had to prove her that my love is pure. I let her go. I made her think that I don't care if she go away. Yesterday I heard that she is leaving to England, tomorrow.

I rushed to the bus stop. Everyone was there. But not her. Where the hell did she gone?. She was no more my neighbour. She had went to another city. I don't know where is it. I wanna see her one last time. I wanna bid a one last goodbye to my girl. But she disappeared from my world. Now, only me and some dreams which never happens remains.

I went to my home and locked myself in my room. I tried to call her several times, But no response. I dialed her number a hundred times, No response. Now, all I could do is to look at the photos that we took when we were friends. I stared at her pic with me for like hours. I'm staring at the photos helplessly. What a loser I am?.

Ryan's POV

"Son, she is a beautiful girl with a beautiful personality. I'm sure that if you see her, you'll accept her. She is a nice girl. The way she-" before mom could finish I interrupted and said "Mom, atleast let me finish my breakfast, I'm just 25. Why are you forcing me to marry at a young age. I'd already stopped this love since I was in 12th. I don't wanna marry anyone".

           "Son plea-" I again interrupted and said "Mom, please" so she went to kitchen. I don't wanna marry anyone. Only I know the pain of love that I suffered through when I was 18. Love is pain. My love story didn't had a nice ending. I let out a sigh and stood up from my chair. I have no mood in eating. Whenever I think about her, I will always end up having no mood in anything. I heard my mom yelling me to finish the food. But, I can't. I took my bag and car key, and drove to hospital, even if I am not feeling like to work today. On the way to hospital I decided to drink a cup of coffee to get a relief from this stress. I stopped in front of a new coffee shop. The cafè's inauguration was yesterday, so there was so many peoples in the cafè, Whatever. The waitress came and asked "what do you want, sir?". I ordered a cup of coffee without looking at her. But, even after I ordered, she is not going. What the hell does this women wants now?.

I was about to look at her, but she rushed to somewhere. Maybe, to take the coffee. What is wrong with that women?. Even after 15 mins the coffee didn't arrived. I asked to one of the waiter where is my coffee. He said me to wait a 5 minutes. I'm boiling with anger now. I was about to argue, that's when I saw so many peoples gathering in the outside of the cafè. I came out of the café without having coffee. Seems like an accident had happened, I ran to where the people was and asks to an old man what is the matter. He said one of the waitress met an accident while crossing the road. Before I could look who is that, the ambulance arrived and took her to the hospital. After that, I drove to the hospital where I am working now.  The ambulance was right in front of my car. I think they are taking her to the same hospital. I reached the hospital and went inside. The waitress was taken to the operation theatre. The nurses took me to there. When I looked who the waitress was, I felt like the world stopped for a moment. Its was her, My Xena. Was she the waitress?.

      We doctors operated her. Cleaned her wounds and stitched it. She is in coma stage. She is not waking up. I'm nervous. We tried to wake her up, but no response. I held her hands and said to her "Xena.. Wake up. Its me, Ryan. Xena, wake up. If you wake up, we can lead a happy life. I missed you since that day you gone. Please do this for me. You can wake up. Please open your eyes". Tears were rolling down my cheaks. I tried it so many times, But she didn't wake up.

I went outside and sat on a seat, praying my heart out to god, to wake her up. I need her. I won't let her go this time. I sat there thinking about the moments I had with her. I sat there for like hours. I was waiting for somebody to say that she woke up. I sat there. Its lunch time. I went to were Xena was and sat beside her. She has changed a lot. She'd become skinny. The time ran without waiting for her to wake up. Its been hour since I am sitting beside her like this. I had a lot of work today. But I didn't did it. Instead of doing my work I decided to be in charge of taking care of her. Its night time. Still she is sleeping. I am feeling like she'll wake up in the next moment. But she didn't.
A month later

Its our wedding today. I am so excited. My parents are very happy too. They both are excited to welcome their daughter-in-law. I am waiting on the stage, waiting for her. Waiting for my new wife. I saw her walking to the stage with her dad. She is looking gorgeous in bridal style. She came to the stage with her dad. The moment she came to the stage, both of our eyes met. We kept staring at each other for a moment. I'm lucky enough to be her husband. In this moment, the love of my life is looking right into my eyes. I thought I lost her. But no, now she is my wife. I can't keep my eyes away from her. Now, she is mine. I am the happiest man in the world.

The end of the POV

The rest of their journey was together. Both of their life was filled with happiness after that. And that's how Xena fall for the badboy Ryan. After 5 months of togetherness Xena is pregnant. The whole family is excited to welcome their baby. Ryan is more excited than any others.

    Love is beautiful. Its is endless. Never let your love go away, no matter how hard the situation is. Love can make your life filled with joy. But sometimes it can be painful. Don't worry if it is painful. Fighting for your love will be worth it. Never put the key of your happiness in someone's pocket.

                         The End...
