Every word seemed to be drowning her.
Hitting at her heart .
He was plunging in the dagger.
Twisting it around with every single spitting word.
Her eyes had teared up as she stared at him in disbelief. In shock. In hurt.
A vein had popped up on his forehead , on his neck , hands fisted . .his nostrils flaring as he tried to stay calm.
And that's when she felt that devastating feeling. .
It told her. .
This wasn't her Damien.
But then again. . .what she had done.
she deserved all his hate. All his bitter words.Sarah wiped her face with the back of her hand.
"I'm s-sorry. .," Her voice broke at the end , tears spilling out even when she desperately tried not to let them fall.
He lifted his finger in warning.
"If you said that fucking word one more time—i swear to God—" he swore , pushing his hand in his hair. The anger radiating from him in waves. His fingers shaking.
Involuntarily—in utter despair. .Sarah reached out — her hand a breath away from his face when he pulled back violently.
Her hand caught nothing but air.
Her heart plummeting. .
"Did you think you'll come back from the dead and I'll be here welcoming you with open arms? You think you will fuck me over and—"
She stepped forward, eyes blurred out with tears.
"Damien please hear me out ...I'm sorry for-for causing this. This heartbreak—"
He laughed out loud.
So harsh.
So bitter.
It freezed her blood.
"Heartbreak can be cured .What you did was . .ruin me!! Fucked me over ! What you did is beyond that. What you did was. .," He leaned in. .harsh icy blue eyes looking in vulnerable glossy brown ones ," betray me. Turned your back and betrayed me. I couldn't even show my fucking face to my sister. She came to me!! Gloating at how the girl I thought was the one. .hightailed like a fucking rat. You get it now ?!!"
Sarah's whole body was trembling. She bit her bottom lip hard to stop herself from crying.
But the tears just won't stop.
They won't listen to her.
"W—what? You. .you knew ? All this time you knew the reason why i. ." She couldn't go on for the hurt was too much to bear. The shock of being played with. .exploited . . using her love against her. .
Damine swore!
Swearing loud enough to scare her shitless.
And then he bit out .
"I went to my sister. Told her straight up about marrying . Told her about you !! All she asked was to wait if you could pass a test or not. And . . ," He lifted both of his hands." She was right!! So fucking right!! You have done nothing. . nothing but run from me!! Nothing at all. Actually . .try not to cross my path ever again!! " He said in a cut throat manner and her tears went from sniffling to sobbing hard.
Once again she moved towards him. .and this time he didn't back off when her fingertips grazed his shirt . .clutched at his shirt.
"Damien please look at me. .kill me if you want to but don't look away from me...don't." she cried . . placing her head on his hard chest. . sobbing. . her tears wetting his shirt. .
"You don't understand do you?. If I look at you, it will kill me. "
"I'm not going anywhere until you forgive me. I'm not going anywhere—" her grip tightened on his shirt.
Damien lifted his hand and covered her hand with his . . instantly giving her a hope . .but it shattered when he snatched her hand away from his shirt.
Gripping her wrist hard.
Hard enough to hurt.
"I have nothing to give you. Nothing at all. " His voice turned venomous and she winced at how his grip tightened even more.
"My hand . . . Damien. .," She tried to tug at her hand .
But seemed like he wasn't listening.
"Leave and never come back. You should have never come back." He warned.
"Damien!!" She tried to pull her hand but he didn't let go. Not until she pushed at his chest with her other hand. And as if he got awoken from a bad dream . .his eyes widened. . going to the struggling girl in pain , clawing at his arm.
And he jerked.
Letting her go instantly.
Sarah clutched at her hand, a band of red forming on her pale skin where his hand had been.
Damien kept looking at her trying to soothe her reddened hand . . trying to stop crying. . trying to hold herself . .all at once.
And she was failing miserably.
So miserably that he didn't wait .
Damien blurred past her. Out of the room . The door slamming shut behind.
××××××××××××××××
She didn't wait.
She went right after him. Not even knowing where he went.
Sarah went out of the room . . looking around for him. Her eyes red , cheeks pink . .lips chapped and dry. .she was holding her slightly injured hand . . rubbing it to soothe the pain away.
The club didn't give a damn about her or him. It was the same. As lively and as chaotic . In fact it had gotten more crowded. .and Sarah couldn't see him anywhere. . anywhere at all. .
Defeated, red light bouncing on her face. . highlighting the sheen in her eyes . .she moved like a human who had lost everything in one minute. Everything dimmed down around her. . .such pounding music and she couldn't hear it over her breaking heart. .
A test he said.
It has been a test to see if she could stick around or not. .
And she didn't.
She leaved. Without telling Damien anything. Anything at all.
Is that why he didn't come after her? All the one month she had wondered why. .why he didn't seek her out. .and now she knew.
For him. .she betrayed him.
Betrayed his trust.
His love.
Was betrayal only about cheating ? Betrayal can also be not owning up to what you said. Like Sarah. .she had told him how much she loved him and then. .betrayed him.
Sarah didn't know she had stepped out of the club.
Didn't care about the pounding rain. The heavy rainfall. People rushing around with umbrellas. It was dark but the street lights were on. Clouds were thundering over her head . . lightning cracked the sky in half but she was in another world. .
Everyone passing by threw her an odd glance.
A brown headed girl stepping out as if she wasn't sure she could walk. .eyes downcast. .the oversized hoodie drenched in rain. .the puffs of breath turning white in the rainfall. .
And then suddenly she stopped.
Halted.
Right in the middle of the road.
Something snapped in her. Her sanity left and insanity arrived.
She was not going to leave from here. Not move an inch. Not even if hell freezes over. She was going to stay here until—
Until what?
Until he comes or she dies as he told her to !
