Zane's POV
"You crazy jerk, Have you lost your mind?".
"Ah..you have no brain right?".
"You know my dad would never shoot. Why the hell you have to jump from second floor?".
"FREAKING SECOND FLOOR".
"Doll..calm down".
"How could I mom? Look at your son. He must need at least one month to walk properly. But he won't. He will whine like a child to go to office tomorrow".
"Brat..", I called out silently.
"Shut up Zane Insane Ricardo", she shouted at me as I gulped.
Brat is very mad at me.
Doctor examined at my leg and told I have a minor fracture and need at least one month rest.
It will be okay in one week. He just scaring brat.
Look at her, worrying for me, scolding me like I'm a five year child.
I am glad,brat considers me as a important person in her life.
She treats me as her husband worried for my health.
I like it.
"Brat..calm down", I called as her brown eyes watered as my heart pained.
"Stop worrying me Zane. Take care of you, will you?", She asked as her cheeks turned pink.
"I'm..sorry", I apologized as I felt sad all of a sudden.
"Is that my son? He would never apologize to anyone", mom teased me as I shrugged.
"I have only apologized to brat,so far", I told as mom gasped and winked at brat.
Brat rolled her eyes yet her cheeks reddened again but for another reason.
I love seeing her blush.
"You are going to listen to me or I'm out. You can take care of yourself", she threatened fakely making me laugh.
"Brat, I'm okay", I tried to calm her down.
Suddenly a sharp pain hit my leg.
"Ahhh", I groaned in pain.
"See how much okay you are. Still not gonna accept", I laughed at her childishness.
She sighed as I hold her stare for straight one minute.
Those eyes..filled with innocence....trapping me in her innocence.
"Does it hurts?", She asked looking guilty.
Damn Brat.. how can you be so beautiful and pure?
"No, come here", I patted the space next to me in bed.
"Guys, at lease pretend that I'm here with you", mom said annoyed walking out as me and brat laughed at her.
She looks adorable. Old version of brat.
"Son", Dad came as I laughed seeing him scared of mom.
"Look who we have here", mom teased him as dad gulped.
"Honey", dad called out silently.
"Don't honey me Andrew. I'm Andrea for you", mom snapped at dad.
"Please..let me..", dad started.
"You are wasting your time on me", mom walked out ignoring dad.
"I'm sorry son", dad apologized looking guilty seeing my leg.
"Come on old man, this don't suit you after seeing you with your annoying gun",I teased him as he laughed.
"I gone overboard", dad sighed.
"Finally", brat rolled her eyes at dad.
"I just can't believe my little one tried to scare me by sueing me of kidnapping her", dad chuckled as brat blinked at him.
"Excuse me,When did I say that dad?", Brat looked confused as I and laughed at her cuteness.
"Is there anything to laugh at?", She narrowed her gaze still confusion lacing with an annoyed look.
"Where is my grandson?", Oldman rushed to my side as I smirked at him seeing him worried for me.
"Glad you are alive", he commented as brat gasped at him while dad laughed.
"Stop it Oldman. You are worried for me", I smirked at him while he rolled his eyes at me.
"No,I'm not", he denied taking a seat on couch.
"You are", I teased him further as I looked at his shoes.
"I'm not", his face reddened with embarrassment still he denied.
"Of course you are. You rushed to hospital as soon as you heard about your favourite grandson lying on bed", brat told the most obvious thing.
"I'm not cupcake", he denied brat too.
"Then why are you wearing trousers and your left shoe must have gone on a tour by itself as it's missing", I told as oldman's eyes widened looking down.
Always acting like a tough one.
"Son".
My hands turned into fist seeing the person in front of me.
"You bitch...go and die".
"Please..don't do this to me...I will try".
My whole body shook with anger.
Livia's POV
"Get out", I flinched at Zane's low growl.
He looked alarmed and ready to throw his father outside.
His real father.
He was ready to...murder him.
"Son..let me"
I shouted when he pushed the table next to him forcefully.
I jumped at my place seeing Zane.
He was ready to get out of the bed as I stepped in front of him.
"Please", I put my hands on his hands to stop him.
He calmed for a second but his chest heaved up and down.
He is about to loose control.
"Get out", now it's grandpa's voice.
"Guards", grandpa shouted as Zane's father never tried to move out.
Zane is about to loose his mind.
"Please get out. He is feeling unwell", I asked his father as my dad started helping him to get outside.
"I just need five minutes", he told but I shook my head shielding Zane behind my back.
Dad literally pushed him outside as grandpa made his was outside.
Locking the room, a squeal left from me when I was pushed to bed while returning.
Before I could process I was embraced in Zane's warmth.
He his his face in crook of my neck as I shivered in his touch.
"I hate him brat. I f***ing hate him. I don't want him anywhere near me...I", Zane's body tensed as he spoke.
"Shh..relax. He is gone", I caressed his hair as he snuggled into me.
"Do you wanna talk about it?", I asked after like ten minutes.
He calmed down and his breathing was even.
His calmness calmed me.
He was awake. He did not answer my question as I sighed.
I don't want to push it further.
He was drifting off to sleep as myself yawned ready for sleep to take over me.
I was startled hearing the door.
Getting up carefully,my efforts went into futile as Zane woke up.
Opening the door I saw V and Xander.
V looked distressed as Xander looked torn.
My heart broke seeing the important persons in my life battling with their emotions.
"Get inside", I moved to side aside as I broke the silence.
I heard Zane's sigh.
He was watching me for my reaction as I took a seat in the chair ignoring him.
"Liv", V started as I stopped her using my hand.
"Do I hold a place in your heart? The question is to three of you", I finished as Zane snapped his eyes to me.
I stayed neutral.
"You know you are", V almost cried as I saddened seeing her reaction.
"Buff.."
"Let me make a point here. I would never hate any of you guys for anything. I guarantee you. Of course I will be upset but still I will come around as you three holding most of the space in my heart", my heart felt a pang as my eyes watered talking to them.
"You guys just ditched me when it have to be me to know what happened. Of course truth will be hard. I will be upset. My health must have affected. Still I expected you guys to come clean at me".
"You guys just wanted to hide the truth from me".
"No,.Liv..I wanted to tell you and explain things", as V's tears streamed down her face.
"You didn't V. Out of three I did not expect this from you. They were boys. They might have some bro code and they must have valued their friendship. Why can't you do the same?", I let my tears flow down.
"I was the one to ask her time", Zane and Xander interfered at the same time.
"Yeah, that must have stopped her showing me that she valued you both above me. She would break any of the promise just for me in the past", I know V.
She wanted to protect Xander but she failed me.
V's face filled with guilty.
"Please Liv", V begged.
"You stopped, V. You stopped talking about your love life. You stopped talking about your problems. You are keeping me in dark like for five years. I was clearly showing my intentions about how upset I'm about your actions,still you didn't notice it".
"I too want to know my friend's secret. I deserve it when you are dating my brother. Things will be awkward at first still you should have tried. I was waiting for you to open up. Because no matter what I will be also the one to be torn off between my bestfriend and brother",I gulped trying to control my emotions.
"Xander, I forgive you. In fact you don't have to need my forgiveness as I know it's totally an accident. I would never hate you. I know your love for me. I know you value me more than anything in this world. Of course fourth in the line", I laughed at my statement as Xander chuckled as his eyes watered.
"So it's totally okay", he hugged me as I returned his hug.
He argued with my parents when he was fifteen to make me the heir as he is capable of building his own career. He want his little sister to be safe, sound and healthy.
He loves me as much as I love him.
"And Zane,I don't want to know about your past. I will stand by you and help you to overcome by yourself", I smiled at him.
He looked surprised and sad.
"Get ready, we are going out with Charlotte tomorrow", I dashed on my way out into V's shoulder walking out.
"Girl, come here right now", V shouted behind my back.
"I have not forgiven you yet. So be careful", I shouted back walking downstairs to canteen.
Ignoring all I walked.
It hurts. It hurts that Zane did not want to open up to me.
It hurts as Xander did not wanted to find me the truth.
It hurts as V stopped talking to me about her problems.
But not forgiving them and not giving them a chance will hurt me more.
I know it's my way of avoiding my problems.
I don't want to handle a heart break where I might end up losing most importantly persons of my life.
Can't they see I'm struggling?
Can't they see I'm breaking?
Maybe things have changed.
