Chapter 75: Not Safe

Victoria's POV

I feel so glad that I listened to my instinct, allowing Oliver to be with me again. And I know it would be unfair to him if I will not give him a chance, and I will only base my decision about our relationship on what the cheerleader captain said against him. And I know Keisha was lying, but I couldn't stop myself from being hurt.

Kissing Oliver will always be my favorite thing to do, and I enjoyed our sweet kisses the way he touched me will always make me feel like I was floating in the air, and I know he was right. We needed to stop being so intimate, or else we will end up doing something I might regret in the future. Still, I am already ready to have Oliver and bring our relationship to the next level, but I liked the idea of doing the real thing the moment I turned eighteen, and I couldn't wait. 

And if before I am excited for my 18th birthday to come because it means my freedom, right now it is more about Oliver and me because it would be one of the best Days of My life, and I couldn't wait to fit my gown, and I never thought that I would have a boyfriend before I became an adult. Adulthood means more responsibility, and I am ready and excited to become one.

It feels so wonderful to have breakfast with my mom and dad, and of course, with my hot boyfriend. And how I wish this would be like this forever. Having my loved ones around me would always make me feel better, but I understand life is not like that. I need to accept that my parents will be busy soon since they will leave me again after my eighteenth birthday.

I felt so happy as we made our way to the school, Oliver was driving, and I couldn't stop myself from stealing glances at him, and he looked so hot. I couldn't wait to tell my best friend that I had made up with my boyfriend already. And I am sure she will be happy for us because I could tell that Lana is the first person who wanted me to enjoy my relationship with Oliver, and as my best friend, my happiness would always bring a smile to her lovely face.

But all the happiness I felt was replaced with dread the moment I saw the ambulance and police cars on the school grounds. And I could feel right away that something terrible had happened in our school, and when Declan informed us it was Tim, I could feel my entire body trembled, and I felt so glad Oliver was holding my hands, and he never left me, and I was drawing my strength from him.

And this is the first time that something like this happened, violence was never an issue here in our school, and I couldn't believe that some wild animals would do this to one of our fellow students, and I hate to think it was Tim. I like him a lot as a friend because I know he is different from all the boys in Zenith Academy. I could feel it in my bones that Tim would be a good company; that is why of all the boys on campus, he was the only one I felt comfortable to have a date with, and I had fun with him.

I felt guilty that I couldn't reciprocate Tim's feelings for me, and I hated myself for hurting him when I started falling in love with Oliver. And he began to stay away from me because I knew Tim was afraid Oliver would get jealous and using Tim to make my boyfriend jealous was something I regretted.

I felt my boyfriend caress my back after hearing the terrible news that Tim was gone. I was crying hard because I couldn't stop thinking about my best friend, and I wanted to be with Lana right now, but I understood she was one of the witnesses. But when our teacher said the authority needed to bring her to the hospital, I couldn't wait for our class to end so I could be with her. 

The cafeteria was silent for the first time, and I know everyone in our school is mourning the loss of Tim. He is one of the best athletes in our Academy, and I could see the sadness of his friends, and even the cheerleaders are quiet at this point. Everyone was talking in hush voices.

"I couldn't imagine what would be Lana's reaction the moment she learned Tim is dead, and I could tell she will be forever guilty if what they said was true. Tim was Lana's long-time crush, and he died saving her." I mumbled, and I couldn't stop my tears from falling on my cheeks as I could feel the pain of my best friend, and I couldn't imagine if it would happen to me.

"Maybe Tim likes Lana," Declan answered while Oliver was silent and he was gaping at my face.

"Yeah, maybe, and I hope they become a couple," I muttered.

"It would be more devastating, Victoria," Declan answered, and I couldn't disagree with him.

We continued to eat our lunch in silence, and I tried my best to compose myself. Oliver held my hand as we walked out from the cafeteria towards our classroom for the first period in the afternoon. I could feel the eerie feeling in the entire school, and I could see students are walking in groups or by twos. I hadn't seen anyone walking alone, and I felt glad everyone was following our headmaster's order to always walk around campus at all times with friends after the attack happened.

"I think it is not yet safe since they haven't found the wolf yet," I mumbled.

"Yes, and we have to be careful at all times, but don't worry, I am sure the authority would find the wild animal. And I should keep my pet away from now because I am afraid they will accuse him." Oliver responded.

"No, your pet is harmless, Oliver, I can attest that," I responded, and he squeezed my hand.

"I know, but it is better to keep him safe." He declared.

"Can I see him before you will take him somewhere?" I asked, and he smiled at me.

"Of course, I will give you time to have a bonding moment with him tonight before I will take him to my Veterinarian friend, but only for three hours because I wanted to be alone with you, Victoria." He whispered in my ear, and I couldn't stop feeling so thrilled even if I felt so worried about what happened to Tim and Lana, and of course, to our beloved school. I felt glad Oliver was around because he made me feel better.

"Can we go to Lana?" I asked Oliver after our last class ended, and he squeezed my hand as he said yes. And Oliver drove me to the hospital where they confined Lana, and I could feel the pounding of my heart as we neared the hospital's parking lot. 

"I already texted Lana since this morning, but I haven't received any reply. I hope she is okay, Oliver." I declared.

"Don't worry, Victoria, I am sure your best friend is fine, and maybe she was on the hospital bed resting, or her mom won't allow her to use her phone," Oliver said as he looked at me with tenderness, and I weakly smiled at him as we made our way to the hospital's main lobby.

"Victoria, I am sorry, but Lana doesn't want to see anyone, and I think you should come

back tomorrow." Lana's mom said, and I felt so hurt my best friend didn't want to see me.

"Please, tell me she is okay, and kindly inform her I came to visit her," I said.

"Of course, I will let her know, and don't worry, and I will tell her the moment she wakes up; how about your classmate, the one who saves my girl? How is he, Victoria?" Lana's mom said, and I could feel my tears were about to fall on my cheeks, but I tried my best to keep my tears at bay, and no words came out from my mouth since I didn't want her to tell her daughter that Tim was dead. I was shaking my head while I felt Oliver's arm around my shoulders.

"Tim didn't make it, ma'am," Oliver answered on my behalf, and I could see Lana's mom shaking her head as she looked at me; I nodded in confirmation, and I saw her tears fall on her face.

"It could have been Lana if he didn't save her; I owe him my daughter's life." She said while she was wiping her tears.

"Yeah, he saved Lana from the attack, and I hope the police will be able to track down the wolf responsible for Tim's death," I answered.

"Of course, I wish they could give his death justice." She mumbled, and how can we give justice to Tim's death when a wolf bit him? And even if the wolf gets killed, we could never have Tim's back.

We said goodbye to Lana's mom, and I could feel the heaviness of my heart as we drove away from the hospital. I felt so worried about what would happen to us now that there is a possible danger around us, and I am sure we are not safe anymore unless the authority will capture the wolf.. I can feel that things in Zenith Academy will never be the same again.
