Cross- Roads:- What To Choose Love Or Friendship 87 Keith's Story

After a while they both retracted to their original position. They both were looking at the picture of sweet little girl when Keith said in a sad voice "she was just five years old. I couldn't able to save her because I don't know how to swim. it's all my fault that she is now gone." Hayley could not stand his self blaming so she made him face her and held his hand and looked straight into his eyes " Brother you were also a kid back then. A seven year old kid, all best you could at that point of time was scream for help but given the circ.u.mstances if you had done that those people might have had found your whereabouts." She paused to take a breath and then continued "you were just a kid and it's not your fault. It just destiny sometime puts you in life and death situations in which you can't get out unscathed."

After hearing her Keith just nodded he still couldn't able to give her a proper reply. Hayley didn't mind that because now she knew the reason behind his behavior that reason name was Zenith.

Zenith Scott younger sister of Keith Scott deceased at the age of five. One fine afternoon Keith and Zenith both were playing in backyard of Scott Mansion and then Keith who was seven at that point of time and mischievous out of two had an idea of getting out of mansion and playing on the road outside. At that point of time it was very exciting for him to fool the security around mansion and got out but only if he knew that it get them into danger and took away his little sister he might have locked himself up in Mansion.

Keith fooled security but not his sister she tagged along with him as usual. They were having fun but suddenly a van stopped in front of them and two most rich kids in country were kidnapped.

They were in deep sleep all the while their journey to this house where the kidnappers had kept them they didn't tie them down because of they thought that they both were kids but these kids were smart they found a way to contact their family and meanwhile tried to escape from this place. What they didn't expect was when the team who come for their rescue will come at that time when they will be in process of running away from this place and will be near swimming pool of this house. So when they first heard the gunshot they both flinched and in this process Zenith slipped and fell into pool and Keith couldn't able to move a single muscle in his body he saw her struggle and then drown and eventually die.

This guilt had gawned on him till now that he wasn't able to save Zenith . When he first heard Hayley's voice she instantly reminded her of zenith he couldn't help but remember her and when he first saw her she reminded him of Zenith again. If Zenith was alive she will be around her age or maybe little older to her. That is why Keith felt so connected to Hayley and started to consider her as his younger sister.

At first it was to sudden for Hayley to consider Keith as her brother but with time she started to consider him as family but today after knowing everything she started to consider him brother genuinely.

It's been a while since they both were standing in front of Zenith's photo and it was time to head back to living room. Hayley took Keith hand in her and urged him to come back to living room with her.

When they both came to living room they saw each one of the present person sitting there with a worried face and then Hayley gaze landed on Aaron and then at Caleb . When she saw Caleb she remembers how those goons reacted in his presence so she asked Keith in a hushed tone "why those goons addressed Caleb as Prince." Keith gulped he didn't know what to say to her so he just said " its Caleb's story to tell." that means she need to ask Caleb directly. Fine she will just do that.
