❝She was an angel that made even the devil want to get to heaven❞

Warm breeze brushed my skin lovingly as I stirred uncomfortably in my deep slumber, but the peace was soon gone and my eyes shot open, when I felt something crawling on my left leg. What the

Letting out a loud shriek, I quickly got up, examining my leg and took a deep breath when I saw nothing but just tiny strands of grass.

Adjusting my vision in the bright light, I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, before looking around.

Soft sunlight covered the empty field in it's embrace, the wind gushed around running through the grass. Last night's memories came in my mind knocking as I tilted my head to see him sleeping peacefully beside me.

Laying flat on his back, he was wandering in the dreamland with his arm covering the serenity of his face and the other one resting on his stomach. I was staring at the sleek mess of his hair, when realization punched me in the face.

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" I yelled, suddenly making him jolt in his sleep.

Letting out a guttural groan, he rubbed his eyes, then glanced at me "What do you want, Snow?"

He closed his eyes again, trying to get rid of sleepiness in them as I spoke up "What time is it?"

Sighing, he lazily sat up on the ground and looked at me pouting, before fishing out his phone from his pocket.

"10:23 AM" He told me.

Well done, Winter. You missed your classes. Not just only one, but somehow you managed two. Would you like a reward for that?

"Fucking hell" I cursed under my breathe, getting up from the ground and dusted my shorts, removing the dust. I didn't even recovered from the after effects, when he let out in his deep raspy morning voice "Fucking hell, indeed"

"What happened to you, now?" I asked him, giving a bored expression, running my fingers through my wavy hair.

"I have a class at 10:30" He mumbled, then scrunched up his nose ruffling his hair with his hand.

"Then what the fuck are you waiting for? Get up! I already missed mine" I growled at him.

Leisurely, he turned his head analyzing his surroundings, then looked at me and raised his hand towards me. Shaking my head, I understood his message and reached out, grabbing his hand.

Pushing himself off, he stood up on his feet and let out a yawn, stretching.

"Doesn't matter now. It's like a 30 minutes drive" He murmured, showing me a lazy dazzling smile.

His eyes filled with amusement as I ordered him in a cold voice "Then, what are you waiting for? Just get in the driver's seat already, geez"

I walked towards the car standing not so far, when I heard his velvety voice speak "Are you always this nice in the mornings?"

The footsteps echoing told me, he was close behind me, when I rolled my eyes "Oh I can be a lot nicer than this, alright"

"Am sure you can" He came falling in steps beside me grinning, before going to unlock his car as I shot him a blank look.

"Whatever" I rolled my eyes, opening the passenger seat door, but didn't make any move to get in.

Biting my bottom lip, I turned around to take a last look at the field, which had been my safe haven last night. There weren't stars and the gorgeous view from last night, yet it held their peace.

Ethan's voice interrupted my thoughts as he spoke "No seriously, jokes apart. You know what I think?"

"What?" I asked, frowning, turning to face him.

"That, you are not as mean or let's just say bad as you want people to believe" He stared at me with a smile, proudly announcing his deduction. His hair was still a mess and in bright morning sunlight he looked more handsome than I'd ever seen him.

Humming a sweet nothing, I just shook my head and got in the car.

"Left you speechless, didn't I?" He glanced at me smirking, while reaching to wear his seatbelt and motioned me to do the same.

"You can wish Keyes" I retorted.

The wind started nuzzling us, when the car pulled on the road. Watching the scenario passing by from the window, I let out a breath of content breathe. That Morning had been the greatest one, truly.

"WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU?" Maria yelled at me, fury dancing in her bright eyes, just as I took a seat in front of me. Beside her Nate sat with a disapproving look, while Finn enjoyed the show.

The cafeteria was filled with noises as me and Ethan exchanged a glance, before I let out hesitantly "Out?"

"Don't give me that! Do you know how shitless scared I was? After that gym scene yesterday, I almost fucking lost it, when I didn't find you in your bed this morning!"

Flashbacks from the day before lit up my mind and guilt made its way on my tongue "About that, I really feel ba-"

"Yeah yeah whatever, just don't go around disappearing at night again, okay? I am too young to die of a heart attack, besides you could've told me. It's not like i'm gonna stop you or cage you in, like Cinderella's bitchy stepmother" Maria continued to ramble.

Ethan snickered beside me as I gritted my teeth, catching his hazel eyes, shining with a sinful glint in them "I won't. It was just a sudden plan"

"Sure. Though, I still want to know where you both go?" Maria raised her eyebrow, looking back and forth between me and the smirking devil beside me.

On that question, Nate too chimed in "Yeah, me too. Tell me, were you busy fuc-"

His question was abruptly interrupted by Ethan, threatening him "Complete that sentence and you are not going to have pleasure of becoming a father, ever"

I chuckled, then staring at the empty seats, I turned to Finn "Where's Theo and the rest?" I asked noticing the two couples in our group missing.

"Double date. Damn, they must be enjoying it so much right now. I guess, I need to find someone to love too" He sighed, speaking dramatically.

"You can try, but it won't be worth it" I shrugged, then glancing at Maria, took some of her fries. I was hungry, alright.

"Why not? It can be the most beautiful thing to ever happen for all we know. Find someone, fall in love, get to live happily ever after? Yes please"

Furrowing my eyebrow at his statement, I spoke up "That's where you are wrong. You are missing the point here. It's not about finding love, No. Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it's called falling in love. You don't force yourself to fall, you just fall. And trust me unexpected love stories are the only love worth falling in"

"Woow.. I never took you as a romantic type" My neck jerked towards Nate as he stared at me with a fascinated expression, not only him the other two guys were staring at me too.

"Trust me, I am not" I muttered in a cold voice and tried to gain control, suddenly feeling uncomfortable. My eyes narrowed at Maria, when she noticed and shot me a broad grin.

"Oh please, the speech you just gave begs to differ" Finn clicked his tongue.

"I wouldn't call it a speech" I scoffed and turned to give Ethan a cold expression, when he put his elbow on the table and rested his chin on his palm

"Then what would you call it?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at me and held my gaze.

"Erm just a mere opinion?"

~~~

It's been a week since I had slept peacefully. Those nightmares made sure I didn't and now these cramps too were killing me. I hated periods, but again who loves bleeding through their vagina every single month? Mother nature showed no mercy on us women.

Pulling out my hair from under my top, I adjusted it, feeling that light pain growing in my lower abdomen as I moved a little too much.

Hitting the college in my comfy sweatpants and Tank top was probably the only good decision I had made in so long. Grabbing the hair brush, I started brushing my hair, untangling the knots.

"You seriously wanna come? You can skip today. You know, you need it" Maria suggested as I turned around to face her.

"Not it's alright, I don't want to be" alone "here" I said in a clipped tone and put the brush down, before rolling my hair and tying them into a tight messy bun.

"You wish, but I was just suggesting. I'll even tell Ethan that you can't make it today to practices" She joked, putting on her block heel boots. She seemed to joke a lot about Ethan since that morning. Oh boy.

Giving her a frown I asked "Why would you tell Ethan that? And yeah as I said, I'd very much like to go. It would be boring here for me. Unlike you, I don't crave unhealthy dose of sweets"

"Whatever your choice. You could've watched a movie or nap or something" She mumbled, grabbing her bag.

I looked myself in the full length mirror, black sweatpants and a yellow Tank top, hair perfectly tied up and my face bare.

"Okay, here we go" I muttered, putting on my sneakers.

After locking the dorm, we made our way towards the college building. Clouds decorated the warm sky, hiding the bright sunlight away from us, air flushed our skin.

"Well then I'll see you later that is, if I survived this torturous class. Text me if you need me" Maria saluted me with her two fingers as I chuckled, murmuring a 'sure'

Taking a deep breath I walked towards the Gym, avoiding the pack of students and trying to ignore the pain. My body felt so weak, no wonder why Maria would be so careful with me during this time.

Footsteps echoed coming by my side with long strides, before I heard "Sup Snow! Running to the Gym too?"

Looking up I saw his hazel eyes, shining down on me as I muttered "No shit, sherlock!"

I blinked feeling the dizziness as I continued to walk with slower steps than before. Lack of sleep was making it worse as I felt weakness taking over my body.

"Are you okay?" He asked confused, making me glance at him nodding.

"Fine" I mumbled.

His steps went further, but I stopped in my tracks, feeling the pain below, making it hard for me to move. He too stopped in the middle and turned around, with concern gracing his features "Snow... are you sure, you are okay? You look about t-"

I didn't even hear the rest of his words as my body ran out of energy and my eyes closed on their own letting the darkness take control.

Well, now that I am done with my exam and shit, am back at it again with three new chapters. Hope you all like it.

I probably gonna go now and celebrate in my own way, whoop whoop. I also have a week break, so yay for me. I might update soon, who knows?

Anyway, Have a blessed day everyone! Smiling is the best way to face every problem and to crush every fear :)

Love, Zee...
