Chapter 5 5

Zero's POV

Where are you Astraea? I need you.

I feel so guilty, I could have done better, I could have saved you, I... I...

I tugged at my hair out of frustration.

It's all because of dads enemy, I'm the target but, sh*t I dragged Astraea into the mess.

in every corner of this room, I only see her.

We used to hang out here, this is where she teaches me, when she was assigned to be my tutor. We would always hang out and laugh.

'Why can't you understand that, Zero, you're making my anger issues worse.'

I would always tease her, by simply pretending that I don't understand the topic. She was so cute.

We also hang out outside of school every weekend or free time.

'Huh? You mean you don't taste street foods anymore? Your life is sad, I usually don't share street foods, because I'm a sucker for food. But if it's you, go ahead and say ahh.'

When we're together we feel like we could do anything. We're like lovers.

i knew that she had a crush on me it was so obvious, at first i didn't really pay attention to it because a crush is just admiration but when she confessed i didn't know how much imorotant that is to her. It wasn't just a crush maybe it was... Love.

my whole world came crashing down, when she decided to save me over herself, why... Everything was going perfect, she likes me and I'm also starting to like her.

I can't just forgive myself for what happened to her.

I promise I'll treat her better when she's finally back in my arms.

I love you Astraea. I miss you.

Author's Notes; Zero's other POV's will be placed in the ending, 'cos y not?

Astraea POV

We finally arrived in Canada, and I'm slowly getting to know them better.

Mom said that I should learn to speak full English, because now we are here in Canada and so I can communicate with the people here.

We received a scholarship from a very prestigious school here.

the trip was very tiring, I immediately fell into bed at our new house.

But I think I really forgot something or... Someone, I feel so empty.

There's this man in my dreams... Tall, handsome and has a deep voice, he always shows up in my dreams. He always says weird things like

"I love you Astraea, please come back." And many more.

It's weird I don't remember meeting him before.

Zero POV

"Dad I'll accept your offer." I'm here at dad's office, we're currently discussing a very important matter.

"Very well my son. What changed your mind? I thought you don't want to be a mafia boss." That's right at first I don't want it because I hate it but now, I want it I really do.

"I want to be stronger for someone dad." For Astraea.

So that when she comes back I'll be able to protect her. I really miss her but now I can't do anything about it. I don't know where she is. Her family must be up to something.

I hope at the right time we meet Astraea, and when that time comes I'll never let you go. Never.

"I see, it's settled then, Your training starts tomorrow my son, good luck."

I just nodded and left his office.

And about my 'girlfriend', she's not my girlfriend she never was, she's just a fling. She found someone new and I did too i found Astraea. We talked about it and got over it.

Astraea POV

4 years have passed since we came here to Canada. i graduated a week ago, i took the course psychology, to help mend twisted people, heal them and let them know they're not alone in this world.

Today we are going back to the Philippines, for good. I really miss my home country so much.

"Is everyone ready?" Mama said, even though we've been living here in Canada for several years, we still talk.

"Yes ma." Answer all.

"Alright let's go to the airport then." Mom said and we left our house, I will miss this house we had so many memories here.

i will seek for a job in the philippines, why would i work here, right?

Luckily, I was hired right away at the job I entered, L.M hospital was it? Yes L.M Hospital/ mental hospital.

Ellouise POV (Zero's older sister)

"Did you find her?"

"Yes, madam after so many years, they're finally coming back to the Philippines, all this time they were hiding in Canada."

Astraea you're finally back.

"Finally, she's coming back, Zero won't have to suffer anymore."

"I agree, ma'am."

"Do you have some additional information?"

"Yes of course, it says here that she graduated from psychology and she's coming back here in the Philippines to work. Isn't that great madam? The stars are aligning for them." My assistant said while reading the documents.

You heard it right. zero has gone completely insane, crazy and mad, no one can stop him, not unless it's Astraea.

"Endure it a little more Zero, then Astraea will be back into your arms."

I really treasure my little brother so much, and I will find Astraea to make him happy, to make them happy.

*A week later*

it's been a week since we got accepted in this hospital, yes, me and Cassidy are both psychologists now, we finally achieved our dreams together. It's goals.

"Bebs, there's a rumor going around that a very dangerous man will be a patient here. I wouldn't dare to be his psychologist, maybe he'll kill me." Cassidy said while eating, were on break now. Did he hear these rumors everywhere?

"Cass, maybe he's just facing problems in his life." I defended.

"So you're saying that if you were assigned as his psychologist you would accept it?" She replied.

"It might not be easy, but why not?" If it's for that patient's own good.

"Well I'm not surprised, you're brave Astraea, I know you can do it, good luck." It's advanced thinking. but I'm curious, what's he like? Is he really dangerous? Maybe people just misunderstood him and his feelings.

Eloise POV

"Did you convince him?" I asked one of my workers.

"He really doesn't want madam." He replied. I need to convince him, by hook or by crook. this is for his own good.

"Let me talk to him." I'll do it by myself then, maybe he will listen, I hope so.

"Yes ma'am." He led me to a place, a very dark one. It's Zero's Room.

"Zero? You there?" I can't see clearly because of darkness, I'm with my guard just in case, he does something uncalled-for.

"What now Ellouise, I said I don't want to go, I'm not crazy I just need Astraea." He answered.

"I know Zero, I have a good news for you, Astraea is finally back." even though it's dark here, I can see his face lit up.

"Really is that true?" He said he couldn't believe it.

"Yes, all you need to do is come with me." I convinced him. I know his weakness and strength, it's Astraea.

"As long as I will see Astraea In the end, I'll come with you. this better be true or else..." When he threatens me. I know Zero, I know it too well, you don't want to play and meddle with Zero Seviller.

He continued his studies, by being home schooled.

He would train, and lock himself in his room after that.

all I can say is he is a very problematic person, I hope Astraea can handle him.
