Bound by Vengeance

ZAYN MILLER

I reached home and ran to the washroom. I got a really bad stomach, it was like fire running all over my body.

I vomited.

When I came back everyone was in my room because no one had ever seen this reaction from my side. I am supposed to be very calm and composed.

“Are you alright, Zayn?” Mum asked.

I nodded “I need something sweet, Mum.”

“Don’t you hate sweets?” Dad laughed.

“Now I do need something sweet, please. Or I will go crazy.”

Again I had the urge to vomit, I ran to the washroom once again. Finally I was done, my stomach was officially dead. I struggled for 2 hours with my stomach because I got the worst stomach ache ever.

And the reason for all this suffering is Kiara Burgess.

I hate spicy food and this girl has given me chilli powder… I don't know how much chilli powder I consumed.

Well it's fine, I deserved it.

The killer look she had when she was talking to me.

“Here, have some milk.” Mum offered me. She sat beside me as I took sips from it slowly.

“Thanks.”

“What happened? Who did this to you?”

“Kiara Burgess.”

She chuckled “Damn, again Kiara Burgess.”

I rolled my eyes.

“Are you in love, Zayn?”

“What? Love?” I scoffed “Please Mum, this word is really not for me. I am mad.”

“I think you are in love with Kiara.”

I paused while drinking the milk.

In love with Kiara?

“And what makes you think that I am in love with her?”

She shrugged “No one has the courage to do this to you and you have given this right only to her.”

“I haven’t given her any rights. It was unexpected, I didn’t know there was chili powder in my coffee.”

She laughed “She is something, isn’t she?”

I smiled, pressing my tongue against the inside of my cheek, lost in thoughts of her.

She is.

“Mum please, it doesn’t prove that I am in love with her?”

"Of course you are. After what you've been through for the last two hours, you did nothing. If it had been anyone else, you would have shown them what hell truly looks like."

I bit my lips.

“You know what I feel.”

“What?”

“That you are feeling guilty.”

“Why would I be guilty?”

“Because you are hurting her and you will take anything from her at this point.”

I remained silent, fidgeting with the ring in my hand.

“You can still stop this Zayn. I don’t want any revenge. No one wants you to ruin your happiness for some revenge.”

“You don’t want it Mum. What about Zack? What about Dad?”

She stopped “Don’t do this to yourself, Zayn. You will get hurt.”
