FEUD: MewGulf

Chapter 17

Saturday afternoon Gulf called Mew wanting to confirm their sleep over date.

He called about 4 times and the call did not go through. It was on his fifth try that Mew answered the call in a whisper and his voice shaking.

"Are you ok? What happened?" Gulf asked worried,

"I'm not feeling too good. I think I have flue or something."

"I'm coming." Gulf stated voice full of conviction.

"No. You don't have to come. I'll see you at school. I don't want you getting sick."

"I would rather get sick than let you be alone."

"I'm not alone. My parents returned yesterday." He lied

"Ok. I'll just drop by and see you then come back home."

"You know when you come here I'll get stuck on you. I don't want to get up. I want to rest."

Every time Mew talked, Gulf could hear the agony from his voice. He felt like Mew was dying with each statement he muttered. Gulf could swear something was up but he still listened to Mew's request and he stayed home that weekend.

A decision he hated himself for the moment he set his eyes on Mew Monday morning at school. The bruises were back and Mew looked lifeless.

"What happened to you?" Gulf asked feeling his heart breaking at the sight before him.

"I'm ok. It's nothing."

"Who is doing this to you? Your scars had healed, what is all this?" Gulf teared up watching Mew hiding his pain. He remembered the first time he met Mew on the rooftop. How Mew tried to apply medicine on his injuries, how he suffered so much.

Mew was going through that pain again.

Gulf wondered what had happened during the weekend. He pestered Mew to tell him and till the end Mew refused to tell Gulf what was happening.

"What's the point of me being your boyfriend when you can't share your pain with me? Why am I here? Why do you need me? Don't tell me it's because of kissing and the sex because that would be more painful."

Mew weakly shook his head as he stumbled towards Gulf,

"You know that's not it."

"SO WHY Won't you tell me about it? Who is doing all this to you?

Mew shook his head and Gulf felt so angry and frustrated. He walked away from Mew, something that Mew never wanted to experience from Gulf.

In that moment, Mew felt like he was under sleep paralysis. He wanted to run after Gulf but his body wouldn't let him. His feet stood frozen in one place as he felt his breathing become difficult by each minute.

Mew slept through all the classes because of the unbearable pain. It was when school was done that Mew met Faffy just outside his classroom. Faffy hadn't seen Mew during the weekend and she missed him so much.

She was startled to see Mew's bruised face. She linked her arm with his as she led them towards the gate with no questions asked. She knew Gulf had already bothered him enough with the questions. Gulf came too and linked his arm on the other side.

He didn't say anything because he was still angry. They waited outside the gate not saying anything. A few minutes later, the car pulled up on the side of the road and Mew was relieved.

Not!

He staggered back as he felt his end coming. The person emerging out of the car was not supposed to be here. What was he doing here?

Mew wanted to turn around and run with Gulf and Faffy but he was surprised when Faffy's hand on his arm started gripping harder than before.

They all watched the boy approach them with an arrogant smirk on his face. His eyes were focused on Mew like a lion going after it's prey.

"p-p-p-p-P'Gulf, Faffy stammered a sudden gush of fear enveloping her entire being.

Gulf turned to Faffy and he saw Mew was literally dripping sweat.

"P'Gulf, he is back. He is back to hurt me again."

Gulf looked at Faffy and saw her struggling. Her breathing pattern had changed and she was wrinkling her blouse as if she had chest pains.

Gulf was in front of her in an instant. "Who is back? Faffy what's happening?"

Faffy raised her pointy finger and pointed at the guy now a few steps away from them,

"He raped me p', he hurt me,"

Gulf turned around feeling something boiling on his chest. He felt goosebumps and intense hatred taking over his loving soul.

Mew was even worse. The moment Faffy stated that this monster hurt her, he almost crumbled to the ground. He knew he had depleted his happiness bundle.

He cried helplessly as Faffy started panicking shying away from the heartless man approaching.

Students started crowding the entrance watching the scene as if it were drama.

Gulf had tried to control himself failed dismally when the rapist stepped in front of them as if he didn't care. He lunched at him with a powerful fist full of hatred.

"How dare you lay your filthy hands on my sister!"

Mew snapped out of it afraid of what might happen if this monster loses it.

Gulf had successfully landed one punch and he was about to deliver another one when Mew stopped him. That gave the sinner enough time to recuperate and he charged at Gulf too, ready to pay back.

"P' PLEASE STOP!!"

Mew screamed and with all the energy in him. And that almost knocked Gulf off his feet. He turned around face full of disgust and loathing,

"P," Mew pleaded helplessly, "please stop, let's go home,"

Gulf looked at Mew with so many questions in his head and so many feeling in his heart but there was one feeling that was standing out.

The feeling of betrayal.
