I hear the jingle of keys and the opening of a door. We enter somewhere and Zane closes the door. "I'm gonna place you down now okay?" He tells me. He leans down to place me down but I don't want to. I want to be near him. I shake my head no.

"Okay, we'll love do you want to shower and get out of those clothes? I have extra clothes in my room" I look up to see we're in his dorm room. I nod at him I do want to get this gross feeling off of me. He takes me to his bedroom and grabs some clothes for me then takes me to his bathroom.

He places me down and I reluctantly let go of him. I look around amazed at how big this bathroom is. It's way bigger than mine...

He places the clothes, "just shower and I'll get you some food...and something's for those bruises..." he smiles at me softly and leaves the bathroom closing the door.

I turn on the water and take my clothes off. Once the water is on I get in. I let the water fall on me and I try to block out the memories of what happened tonight. I groan frustrated...

I hurry up and get out of the shower trying myself and put on his clothes which fit me very oversized. HIS SWEATS ARE FALLING OFF OF ME. SIR, WHAT MADE HIM THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?

I tie a very tight knot on them with the string and open the door. I walk over to where Zane is at and just look at him as he scurry's around the kitchen in his dom dorm. I really hate the fact they get a kitchen and we don't. It's understandable though.

I slightly smile though seeing him grab random things and just putting it into a basket. He turns around and gives me a big smile that looks like it's full of love.

"I got you some things in this basket and also things for those bruises" he says walking towards me. He gestures if he could pick me up and I nod allowing him to. He takes me back to his bedroom and places me gently in his bed. He grabs the basket brining it close to us, "pick anything you want from there as a snack. I ordered us so pizza while you were in the shower so it should be here any moment," I squeal a little bit I'm excited to have pizza. Especially since I didn't get to eat full meals this past couple of days because if Austin.

I pick out a couple things. I grab a rice crispy treat that has M&Ms in them and also grab a small packet of Ritz cheese bits crackers. I start munching on these snacks and Zane does what he needs to do.

Zane grabs a first aid kit from the bag. He opens it but then gets up leaving the bedroom and comes back with an ice pack. "Here put this on that bruise on your face it should help with the swelling" I do as he says and put it on the bruise. The ice feels relieving to the bruise. It feels really good honestly.

Zane puts ointment on some of the bruises and cuts I have. It burns a little but then after a few seconds it stops. "Does anything feel broken?" He questions me .

I shake my head no, "my wrist really hurt but they don't feel broken..." he blinks and me and stands up.

"Okay do you want to go to the doctor or do you want me call in my family's personal doctor to come here and check you out. Because i just want to make sure you're okay."

I quickly hide under his blankets which smell exactly like him. "Nwoooo dwoctwor! Tey scwary..."

Zane comes near me and slightly moves the covers to see me, "it's okay...don't worry this doctor isn't scary. He's really nice and he'll give you candy!" He says to me.

"Pinky pwoemis?" I stick out my pinky and give him soft eyes. He interlocks my pinky with his and gives it a tiny shake. "I pinky promise and we know pinky promises can't be broken." He tells me.

He grabs his phone and dials in a number leaving the room. I really like his blankets they're so soft. I GOT AN IDEA!!!

I SHOULD BECOME A BLANKET BURRITO.

Hehe...I get to the edge of the bed and then roll myself into the blanket. Once im fully rolled I feel a bit dizzy for rolling but it's fine im nice and cozy now!

I snuggle into this blanket and feel a runny bit sleepy. Zane comes back in, "the doctor should be here in five minutes..."

He looks at me and starts laughing. "Love why did you wrap yourself like that?"

"Ne a bwowwito!" I say proudly. Im the best looking burrito there is out there. Zane chuckles at me then comes near my face. "Love you need to unwrap yourself the doctor is here and he needs to check you out," I shake my head no. I really don't want to honestly. This is my safe burrito place.

"We pinky promised..." he tells me.

"Nuh uh we pwomised he no mweanie!" I retort back to him. He sighs at me, "darling please unwrap yourself. It would really be helpful and if you do we can get ice cream tomorrow together okay?"

"Welly!!! Cwan I get stwabwerry!" I say. He gives a little hmm and nods. I quickly unwrap myself and the doctor comes in.

"Hello little one. I'm gonna do a quick check up on you. Don't worry it won't hurt one bit." He reassure me. And he was right it didn't he just checked me to make sure I had nothing broken.

He told me and Zane it seems that I only have a sprained wrist and that I'll need to wear a wrist splint for a couple of weeks. He gets done with the check up and hands me a lollipop.

He says bye to me and Zane then leaves the dorm room. "wasn't that bad was it now?" Zane says sitting besides me as I suck on my lollipop. I shake my head no and rest my head on shoulder. We stay like this for a good five minutes. It feels nice being able to relax this.

A couple minutes later there's a knock on the door and Zane gets up to answer it. He comes back to the bedroom with two boxes of pizza with some plates and towels

He sets them down and opens the box. One of the pizzas is Pepperoni and the other is my all time favorite pineapple and ham pizzas.

"Wanna watch a movie as we eat love?" I nod my head to his question enthusiastically. He turns on Disney plus and turns on Monsters Inc. We both eat and watch the movie making jokes and also enjoying each others company. Once we're done eating Zane takes the trash and throws it away. We watch the rest of the movie until it's finish.

"Alright love you have to go to bed. It's already 11:00 PM." I groan. I don't want to go to bed I'm having so much fun. "Come on now lets get you ready." He picks me up and takes me to his bathroom. I brush my teeth then go back to his bedroom. He's comes back in and covers me in the blanket. "Good night love..." he tells me. And begins to walk to the door.

"Wait..." I say and he stops turn back to see me. "Is there something wrong?" He looks worried. I shake my head no. "Can you...stay here with me. I don't want to be alone." I say. He nods his head, "of course"

He turns off the light and comes into the bed laying down in it. He takes an extra blanket and covers himself.

"...tomorrow the police will get here. They need you to tell them what happened tonight. They wanted to come today but you looked stressed so I told them to come tomorrow instead. They took Austin away by the way. So he won't be bothering you..." I smile at the last part he said. I can finally be on campus and feel safe...

"Thank you..." I tell him. He takes in a deep breath and sighs. "I know you're probably tired...and already stressed enough...but can I please tell you what I wanted to tell you before all of this mess? If not it's okay we can wait until another day. I just want you to know the whole truth..." he sounds worried.

"...of course...you can tell me..." I tell him. In kinda worried on what he wants to tell me.

He takes another deep breath then starts explaining as clearly as he can. He tells me how he's being forced into a marriage with Olivia because of his dad. He tells me how he never once touched or thought about dating Olivia again once he met me and that she's already cheated on him even in this arranged marriage. He goes off on explaining everything that's being put at risk if he just leaves this arranged marriage but is trying to find a way of getting out of it without getting anybody hurt.

Wow...I feel so dumb. I should've just listened to him instead of running away and getting into my own head...

I get closer to him and snuggle into his chest. "I'm sorry..."

"Don't be...at the end we're here together and that's all the matters" he kisses me on top of my bed and rubs my back gently.

"Another question now..." he says sounding a bit nervous. I look up at him curious.

He clears his throat out. "So I know the dance is in like two-ish days...well in one day after tomorrow...and every little has been asked out in an extravagant way but..." I smile at him and he takes a deep breath.

"Will you Carmen...be my official date to the dance. Because I would only love to dance and have fun at that dance with you Carmen Aguilar." He smiles down at me hopeful.

I squeal loudly and hug him big. "Yes!!! A thousand yeses!!!" I feel so happy right now. He really is the best. He hugs me back tightly. We hold each other like this for a long moment until I let go and go back to snuggling on his chest.

I yawns and sleepily say, "you know what's funny...when Austin was with me...he said someone with the name Wilson helped him find me..." Zane tenses up. He looks at me.

"Who?" He says sternly.

"Wilson...i heard the name before but I can't remember from where" I say softly.

"I do...Olivia...Olivia Wilson..." he tells me sounding furious but also oddly happy about this?

"Carmen I think we've just found out a way to get myself out of this arranged marriage..."
