24 strange feeling

Zimon

Xena ends the call she'll receive. Then walk faster to where her father's room is. While she's walking that fast, I don't know why I felt fear for the things she might find out about her dad. I'm just wishing that her dad survives whatever happens to him.

However, he couldn't let go of the thought that Xena's father might not.

"Xena You have to rest. You can just walk around after what happened to you."

Xena's gaze flew over me.

"Seriously, Zimon? Why do you seem to care so much about me? The last time I checked, you just wanted me as your slave. You have yelled at me and threatened me many times. Oh, me, I add that you're sending me to detention?"

I sigh...

"What you see on me is just a piece of me. There's a lot of me that you still don't know, Xena. I'm more than what you see in our few days of knowing each other."

Xena glares at me. I know she witnessed the darker part of me, or maybe the worst. But the feeling that I have for her right now is another story to tell.

I may be the most arrogant guy that she meets, yet I never faked what I truly felt for anyone.

"Whatever you say, my first impression has been made. There's nothing that could change that."

"Miss Lopez God, at last you're back." A nurse welcomes us and approaches Xena.

"You call me? Why? Is there something that happened to my father?"

At that moment, I was on the verge of having a heart attack. I don't want to see Xena get hurt if she finds out what happened to her dad. I couldn't explain why this heart of mine had a special feeling toward her, knowing that we just met. It seems like she has a connection with me.

"Your dad almost couldn't make it. Good thing that the doctor saved him quickly."

Xena panickedly ran toward her father. She's crying as we've already opened the door.

Xena's father is lying there with a lot of connecting apparatus in his body. However, it's a good thing that he's still breathing.

I sigh in relief. Earlier, I thought that her father...

Damn I should not think about it now. Xena needs someone she can lean on. Though he knows that the twin beside Xena is enough to be her shoulder to cry on. I couldn't help but worry about her.

This feeling would surely send me to hell.

"Mom would be the one who would fetch us. I said that we were here, and she waited for us outside."

Seth whispers in my ear.

"I will stay here, Seth; you can go. Explain to Vivian."

I said, but Liam interrupted.

"Don't worry about your new toy, Zimon; I promise to take care of everything here."

I want to curse Liam at this moment. Yet I realize that maybe that is why they think I have been doing this kind of stuff. I only want to have some fun with Xena.

Well, maybe this is what Xena thinks as well. though I know that was not it. Yet for now, I don't have any idea why my feelings for Xena were so strong, like Ifound a soulmate in her.

Yes, I know that it's kind of stupid, yet that's what I felt.

"Zimon, what are you doing here, baby?"

I narrow my eyes as a girl approaches me. All eyes are on me, including Xena. While the girl, who is maybe one of my ex-flings, is now caressing my shoulder.

"Cynthia, is that you? I thought that you were now living in the city together with your whole family?" Liam said, "Then look at me.

"Zimon She is Cynthia; you don't remember? One of the cheerleading squads left La Carolina maybe 2 years ago."

I nod, though I really don't remember the girl. I removed her hand from me. Yet the girl laughed.

"You haven't changed a bit, Zimon; you've always been allergic to all people you have no interest in."

I smirk. "I'm glad you know."

"By the way, my father decided to come back to take over the business of my grandfather. So we came back. Means I'm going back to your school. Zimoni promised that you were going to remember the old times, bye."

I tilt my head. The girl left after she winked at me. I shook my head, then went back to staring at Xena. Yet she avoids my eyes, then steps into her father's room.

Is she mad?

"Z, let's go." Seth said, I sigh.

"I said I'd stay here. You can go now, Seth."

Seth shook his head.

"You sure? I really feel something strange about your actions, Zimon. This is the first time you have been obsessed with a girl. You usually like to play the girl you choose, but you don't act like you're doing it right now."

I shrugged.

"Are you concerned or something? Maybe I just find this girl different from any other girls I like to play with. Now go before I push you out of this place."

We stop as Xena shouts like she's in pain again. We panic and enter the room.

"Xena? What is happening to you?"

I ask in concern because someone is choking her. Me Lopez is just laying peacefully in the bed while Xena in the other corner is still acting like someone is choking her.

I ran toward her.

"What is happening?" Xena didn't reply, but after a moment, she stopped and looked at the surroundings.

There's fear in her eyes.

Seth moved to help her stand up. So I glared at my brother.

I thought he already went.

"What happened to you, Xena?" Noah asks while I can see how worried he is about Xena.

Xena hugs Noah. Damn it, are they this close to each other?

"Relax, Zimon; they were just close friends, that's for sure."

Noah, there's someone who seems to have wanted to hurt me earlier. I don't, but suddenly it's gone."

Noah caressed Xena's back while saying "It's just maybe stress. Take a rest. I'll help you take care of your dad, promise." Noah said then that he would help Xena have a seat in the chair.

In Xena's eyes, I can see how scared she is. I wonder if what she said is real.
