I was trying to comprehend all what zion just told me, I was short of words I kept staring at him not knowing the right words to use at the moment.
Xavier and Zion relationship were alot complicated than I thought. Zion has been living with guilt for years thinking he was the cause of Xavier's death which was entirely not his fault.
"Limah"I heard him say.
"Are you okay I know you probably hate me too now"Zion added still with teary eyes.
"No no of course not please don't say that again"
"I can never hate you Zion"I said to him with a Stern voice.
"Please stop blaming yourself for Xavier death it wasn't your fault"I added.
"I couldn't save him" Zion said slightly.
"Honestly there's was nothing you could have done to save him that day" I said giving Zion a reassuring smile.
"Thanks limah for believing me"
"Everyone thinks I killed Xavier especially my dad he never fails to remind me that I killed him" He added.
"That's so horrible"
"I can't even imagine what you have been through" I added giving Zion a sympathetic look.
"I sincerely regret all my actions and behavior towards Xavier when he was alive"
"And honestly Limah if I didn't push him, he would have still been alive," I whispered.
"Zion stop blaming yourself it wasn't your fault he fell and moreover you went to look for help"
"What kind of father sends his children off to go camping without no means of communication in the first place"
"Anything could have happened you know to both of you"
"That was really stupid of you dad"
"You know to come up with something like that" I blurted out.
Zion only sighed tiredly.
"I wish I could turn back in time and be a better brother" he whispered
There was a sudden knock on the door before a nurse came in.
"Hey dear"she called out walking towards his bed with a warm smile.
"I will just be doing some quick checkup on you okay" she added giving Zion a sweet smile.
Zion only nodded.
After the nurse left I heard Zion grumbling about something.
"What"
"I hate this thing" he said referring to the cast on his broken arm.
"And my head hurts"
"Sorry, everything will be alright soon okay" I said moving closer to give a hug.
The door opened again this time and rowan hayden and sage all came in at once
"Zion I'm so glad you are okay" rowan said rushing to Zion bed and pulling him into a hug
"Don't hurt him more dickhead" sage said scolding him
Only for him to pushed rowan away from zion and hugging him too.
"I Missed you Zion" he said hugging Zion tighter.
I smiled at the sight of such a lovely friendship
"You guys are so childish"hayden said with a small smile on his lip.
Woah! he can smile I thought to myself.
Immediately he noticed me staring at me his face turned back cold.
Ugh typical Hayden I said to myself.
"Hey man" he said to Zion.
"How are you feeling" he added.
"I'm okay I guess" Zion replied
"Please get him off me" he added laughing slightly.
"But we missed you" rowan and sage said whining.
"Ouch ouch my arm" Zion said groaning.
"Get off him guys you hurting his arm" Hayden said scolding the both of them.
"Hey limah" rowan and sage said almost the same time again.
"Why do we always do that"rowan said chuckling slightly.
"Because you both dumb"hayden said with a smirk.
"When did you arrive" sage asked looking at me.
"Oh not quite long" I replied giving him a small smile.
"Oh thanks for being here for zion" he added grinning.
"What are friends for" I replied smiling.
I turned to look at Zion and the expression immediately turned sad
"Yeah friends" he mumbled.
The hurt in his eyes this time was obvious.
Why though
I thought to myself.
"Can y'all please leave me alone for now I want to rest a bit my head is pounding" Zion added turning away from us.
"But Zion"
"We just got here"rowan said whining.
"Please guys just leave me alone" zion replied raising his voice slightly.
"Let's go guys he really needs to rest"I said
But deep down I couldn't help but wonder why Zion mood changed so quickly after I said friends!!
Minutes ago he was emotional and then happy and now sad.
When we got outside zion's mum was heading our way.
"Hi ma'am" everyone greeted her.
"Oh hey guys, y'all here"
"That's so sweet of you guys" she added smiling.
"Hey my dear" she turned particularly to me taking a hold of my hands.
"How are you"she asked giving me a sweet smile.
"I'm doing good I'm just really Happy Zion it's awake now" I replied smiling back at her.
"Zion he's so lucky to have you in his life"
"All of you"
"I better go see him"
"Take care of yourselves" she added before walking away.
"I will be going first" hayden said walking away.
"Aren't you guys coming I will leave your asses behind" he called out.
"Bye limah he can be really grumpy sometimes" sage said running toward hayden
"He's our ride here" rowan said
"See you soon limah" he added in his cute Irish accent.
"Bye" I replied giving him a small smile.
I don't know how long i stood there until the rumbling sounds coming from my tummy brought me back to reality.
"I can't even remember the last time I ate" I said to myself
**************
I was currently at Angelina's room she came to pick me up from the hospital. I'm really glad I met someone like her.
"I think you should get some sleep"
"You look really stressed"she added giving me a sad look.
"No I'm okay" I said trying to give her a reassuring smile
"Limah I know you aren't"
"You don't have to hide that from me
"Anyways go to sleep for now okay" she said walking towards the door.
"Were are you going"
"Just downstairs" she replied.
"Can you stay with me" I asked
"Of course" she replied happily running towards the bed.
"Alright so now what"she asked me grinning.
"I don't know is there anything you would like to talk about' I asked her.
"Do you have a crush" I randomly spilled out.
"I do" she replied blushing
"Aw you are blushing" I said teasing her.
"Do I know him"
She nodded shyly
"Who is it come on tell me" I urged
"Hayden" she replied blushing really hard.
I couldn't believe my ears.
"You have a crush on mr grumpy" I said looking at her with wide eyes.
"Yes he's really cute" she replied happily.
"No he's not"
"He doesn't even smile" I added.
"That makes him even more cute"she replied blushing even more.
"You need a doctor" I replied laughing.
"Yes for my heart"
"Because it always beats extremely fast when ever I think of him" she added
I could only stare at her with wide eyes.
