117 Chapter 117: I love Zeke (1/2)

”Well, yeah...” Hazel smiled sadly, ” I used to get them frequently which scared my parents a lot but then, it reduced, and now somehow I can deal with it.”

Stella hummed and asked a minute later, ”Can I ask what it is about?”

Hazel swung her head towards her and nodded slowly.

” It is a long story but in short, I lost someone precious to me and I couldn't deal with the loss. I cocooned myself in my room and stared at the wall continuously. My parents were worried about my state when none of the healers could help me or diagnose me.”

”They were pretty scared when they heard me scream every night with tears trickling down my face.”

Hazel sighed before she mumbled, ”I couldn't forgive myself”

”Can you forgive now?”

Hazel looked at her and shook her head, ”Not really... But I learned not to let it rule my life.”

Stella asked in a low voice, ”How did you overcome it?”

Hazel shook her head denying her completely, ”I didn't overcome it. I don't think I would be able to undo those shackles in this life but I didn't want to surrender to it, so I dealt with it in a way that gave everyone around me peace. I didn't want them to worry.”

”Because of them, I could escape my darkness even though I'm still bound to those shackles.”

Stella looked at her and heard her vocalize.

”Because they were there for me when I needed them.”

Hazel glanced at her and held both of her hands tightly. She smiled softly, ”Like how those brothers are towards you.”

”I also had a Zeke and Zel in my life, who helped me fight my battles.”

Stella gave her a small smile and nodded. She looked at their hands and wondered why her stupid Zeke was not pursuing Hazel again.

Hazel asked suddenly, ”So is this what you wanted to talk about?”

Stella laughed, ”Not really... I don't know why but somehow you made me want to talk about my troubles.”

Hazel laughed, ”Looks like you were searching for a good outlet.”

Stella chuckled as she nodded her head.

”Maybe”

Hazel didn't hurry her up and waited for her to begin when she heard her state, ”I wanted to talk about Zeke.”

Instantly her chibi-devil showed up in front of her, swaying its tail as it spoke arrogantly, ”See, didn't I tell you?”

Hazel ignored the devil who was gloating on her face. She asked stiffly, ”What about him?”

Stella chuckled as she restated her words, ”You don't have to be stiff around me” and winked at her.

Hazel didn't relax like she wanted but waited for her to continue.

Stella sighed, ”Well... I thought you deserve to know what's between Zeke and me. So I wanted to clear -”

Stella stopped when she felt Hazel hurriedly retrieve her hand and stood up spontaneously. She was still in a state of daze and looked at Hazel bewilderedly.

Stella's lips twitched as she thought, 'Yes, That's why I wanted to clear it out so that it can become a Hundred percent or more.'

Stella also stood up and was about to continue when she was interrupted again, ” Really... I'm not a third person.”
