Hellbound With You (WN)

Alex ’s eyes slowly widened when he saw her suddenly tearing up as she uttered those words in what he thought was the most emotional voice he had ever heard from her. 

He couldn ’t explain it but those words, that look in her eyes, that tear and her voice at that moment made him feel like something shattered inside him, almost as if an intense quake had just shaken his world. 

Abi on the other hand, froze the moment she realized what she was doing. She finally noticed the moisture in her eyes and the tear that was making its way down her cheek. 

Seeing Alex ’s widened eyes as he looked at her, Abi felt her heart jump and she quickly rubbed her hand across her cheek, wiping that lone tear away. 

”Sorry… I don ’t often cry reading sad books but, this still makes me tear up, no matter how many times I have read it, ” Abi tried her best to act normally, making it look like she was like this just because of the story. ”It ’s beautiful, right? ” She did her best to show him a smile. 

But the man remained silent. His eyes never left her face. 

Abi ’s worry intensified when Alex didn ’t say a thing so she quickly helped herself up and faced him. ”Okay, it ’s my turn now. ” She stretched out her hand, asking for the book that she would read to him. 

However, Alex just closed the book he had just read and stared at its cover.

”So? Did that Zero die? ” he suddenly asked, causing Abi to blink at him, surprised. She didn ’t expect him to show any interest in it.

It took her awhile before she could give him an answer. ”Uhm… actually, I don ’t know. The author of the book didn ’t really confirm it. I guess she may have wanted us to fill in the blanks as we saw fit. But judging from that last line, maybe a miracle happened to him and they found a cure, ” she explained with a hopeful voice.

He stared at her as he put the book away.
