Chapter 205

How Does It Feel?-1

Nikki left a few hours ago. Sitting in my silence, in my thoughts, is making me go insane.

I sigh, turning my head, and then I see the tray on my desk. My breath catches, and I reach for it, placing it on my lap on the bed.

There's a little sticky note beside the drink and my heart drops down to my stomach. Zaid's handwriting is scribbled across the note.

You haven't eaten. Please, love.

My chest lurches painfully. Why does e care? Why is he doing this if he just ripped my

heart out?

I poke at the food half-heartedly at first. But one bite turns into two, then three, and

suddenly I'm scarfing it down like I haven't eaten in days.

Damn, I'm hungry. Starving.

The warmth of it settles in my belly, and then I'm too full to eat more.

There's a knock at my door.

I drag myself out of bed with more effort than it should take. My legs are weak, stiff from

being curled up for too long, and my head throbs with the ache of dehydration and

exhaustion.
