Chapter 57 - Please Forgive Us!

On her way back to her friends suddenly Rose halted in her steps and stood frozen unable to believe what she is witnessing in front of her eyes right now. John and his other friends are standing just few steps away from her and to her surprise everyone are looking at her with holding a very apologetic face. 

She just couldn't understand that why are they all even here in the college after about a month! Aren't they supposed to study in some other colleges? 

But suddenly something got striked inside her mind instantly she just started to panick once again. Are they came back to the university? But how it's even be possible? God... Lucas is also not here to protect her. So many unimaginable thoughts are started to running inside of her mind and the incident that had happened a month ago with her just keep on running in front of her eyes like some live show. 

No no no... She can't let that happen once again with her. Now also she was just alone in that area where currently she is standing now and not any single person can be seen near her except those group of boys. That place was also one of the places that Lucas owns in the college along with that secret place. It is situated just beside the parking lot and no one even Daniel himself has never dared to park his car here. This whole total area is only reserved for Lucas and his friends. Then how the hell these boys could able to enter into this place! 

At that time she just decided to do the only thing which anyone would have done if he/she is supposed to be here with these boys, and that is to run away from there as soon as possible. So she just turned around on her heels and was about to run away from there ignoring them completely but suddenly she heard one of the boys calling her name from behind, "Rosaline... Stay there! we all have something to say to you." 

His voice was sounding so vulnerable and pathetic that for a moment she just got confused all over. Are they the same boys she is thinking about because she can still clearly able to remember their voices. It was manacing without having any mercy in their tones and today they are calling her as if they are just too scared of her!

What happened so suddenly to all of them with in a month. 

Finally gathering her all courage she turned towards them to face them finally and then only she comes to see their pathetic situation very closely. At first she didn't observed that but now she is watching them right in front of her eyes, her mouth just hung open in surprise as if she just got shocked to the core. 

She saw that each and everyone's hands are covering in the bandages and there are so many bruises can be seen on their faces. No doubt they were literally looking so lean and thin that, one can say without any doubt that they all are starved for so many days. She couldn't clearly able to decipher that what happened to their hands but she can say they are not in a very good condition now. It means she is safe now and even if they want, then also they are just not capable to do anything with her this time. But the question is still the same that how and who did these all with them? Did they all had faced some kind of accident or what? But from their brutal condition it's just clearly looking like they were just tortured to death and are beaten mercilessly by someone. But why would someone will do this thing with them. 

"Rosaline please forgive us. We know we were wrong and we all just want to apologise you for all the wrong doings we had did with you. We shouldn't have done that with you. Please forgive us... Please!" John just begged her while he was looking like he is on the verge crying. His eyes are full of tears and she can just literally sense that how horrified he is just gotten from inside that she can sense that from outside. Then her eyes roamed over all the other boys standing behind him and she saw the exact same expression on their faces. 

"How and who did this to you all?" It was the first question that escaped from her mouth still not believing in her eyes. But to her dissapointment john just answered her differently, "We can't tell you anything Rosaline. Just tell us if you forgave us or not, please please don't say no Rosaline." Again John started to say in his begging tone leaving her all confused and curious all over. 

'Are they afraid of someone or what?' It's the first question that came inside her mind but decided not to ask them about it. Looking at her silent expression John just came forward some steps and when he felt that no one can hear out what he is going to say to her, finally he spoke, "Look Rosaline, please tell us that you forgave us. They are watching everything and if you won't say then we will just lose our lives for sure. Only you can able to save us, please say that you forgave us and don't ask more questions because we are not answerable to any of your questions." 

The look in their eyes just made her heart softer than ever. No matter what they all had did with her, but she never wanted them to be dead. Not even in her dreams she had ever thought like that and from the intensity from his voice she can really sense that he is not jocking at this time. But who are 'they' he is just referring at? Then she started to look all over around her to see if someone is there or not but to her surprise no one was there, not even a single animal. Then she thought maybe any cameras are placed here but as long as she could she, she didn't found any type of camera from anywhere. Then whom John is actually talking about?

"Please Rose hurry up... We don't have much time left. Please say that you forgave us... Please." This time another boy from behind John spoke in the same desparate voice. 

"Ok fine fine, I forgave you all but only in one condition." She said and they all just got confused a bit. Now what is it that she wants they all thought. She can literally able to see their horrific expression on their faces. 

"You just have to promise me that you will never and ever will try to do that thing with any other girl like you tried to did with me. Just promise me, and then only I will forgive you completely." She said without any ounce of pity in her voice. 

"Yes yes, we promise you that we will never do anything with any other girl. We also didn't wanted to do that with you but we were bound to do at that time..." John was saying this but suddenly his one friend poked him from behind indicating him to stop talking further, and John seemed to realise what he is actually saying in the flow and then just stopped midway from blabbering nonsense things in front of her. 

Rose then looked at him frowning hard in confusion. "What do you mean you didn't mean to do that with me?" 

"Nothing... Just know that we are not answerable to you. And soon you will come to know about all the answers of your questions. Now please say that you forgave us Rosaline." The boy from behind said and she just sighed helplessly at them. No doubt they are not going to reveal anything to her, so it's just futile for her even to try asking them. 

"Yes, I forgive you all." She said and then only she can able to see the slightest happiness that just flashed on their faces but still due to their horrible bruises they are unable to even smile out of their happiness. 

"Thank You so much Rosaline. We are so grateful to you that you forgive us." With saying that the boys just started to leave that place leaving her all alone in that place. 

Now she also turned around around to go back to her class where her friends are supposed to be present. 

In the class her concentration was not on the lectures but somewhere else. Why those boys were looking like that and who are 'they' they were talking about? And what did they mean that they were bound to do that with me? 

"Rosie what happened? Where did you get lost?" Caroline whishpered her slowly and finally she came back to her senses. She can't even discuss that matter with her friends because they just knew nothing about it. She don't know how will they react to this and she also didn't wanted to give them any trouble at this time. But she wanted the answers and don't know whom to ask about this!

The class ended finally and she went back to her home with her father. She was already started to miss Lucas, and doesn't know how these days are gonna pass one by one. 

Her phone just vibrated on her lap and when she opened the message a small smile just appeared on her beautiful face. The message was non other than from Lucas himself,

<I'm already missing you so much my queen. I don't know how I'm gonna spend my days here without you. Can't wait to see you and kiss you once again Rose.(A sad emoji)>
