Wicked (MaskedMexican)

Chapter 23 - A Betrayal?

~Ohm's POV~

I continually roll around on the bed before falling directly onto the floor and feeling a wave of pain paired along with a sudden repulsion in my stomach. Quickly I dash towards the small bathroom and collpase to my knees in front of the bowl. God damn, I hate hang overs. I really overdid it though, I'm usually careful with alcohol after having not drunk it in a long time but I was tired and done with the constant stress I was done with it. Sitting back I groan, my stomach clearly upset with me for failing to take it into consideration. At least Gassy should know I'm late today since I'm pretty sure I remember him fuzzily along with the fact  I confessed my love to him. Sighing, I frown and glance down. That was pretty pathetic, after all of this time of keeping such a cool I had to randomly say that in front of him as if he didn't know. How could he not know? If I wasn't so god damn in love with him I'd be completely fine with breaking up with him myself. Were it anyone else on base I made such interactions with... I would hardly be hesitating.

Standing up after I decide I've dumped the remains of my stomach into the toilet bowl I quickly wash my mouth out and brush my teeth before hurrying to my room to down some painkillers, the pain in my head preventing me from making any harsh movements. Preparing into my clothing I leave the room, the light from the outside and the talktative soldiers causes me to wince in incredible pain. God damn, I need to ask Chilled how he just doesn't drink alcohol because maybe he's on the right track. I pause by Chilled's office door, a bit curious since I've never been inside of it, though I feel as if I were to enter just whenever I'm afraid I'll be catching Nanners.... doing stuff to him. Speaking of the devil, Nanners comes around a corner and spots me, nodding before patting me on the shoulder before entering Chilled's office. I swear that patting on the shoulder and devious smile was not necessary and only served to flaunt his position right in front of me.

Glancing to the door I admit, I feel a bit curious. What do a happy couple like Chilled and Nanners always have to say to each other? How do they communicate because I'm pretty sure both Chilled and Nanners aren't too sappy like some relationships. I find myself pacing around back and forth, judging whether or not to eavesdrop until I can't stand it anymore and I lean my ear to the door, not expecting to hear a completely different voice.

"-said this but I'm sorry, for what happened that night and how I've been acting towards you for the past few days. I felt a bit lonely and I felt that it's too hard to talk to Ohm so I had been looking for someone who is easier to talk to, but of course that's just cheating. I tried cheating on Ohm and cheating on you by having these half-assed feelings and I formally apologize for that." I stand still, completely ignoring Chilled's relaxed response before leaning away from the door and continue walking. It's when I arrive in my office and shut the door behind me along with locking it that I completely explode.

Gassy... cheated? Gassy cheated? The honorable Gassy we all know? That Gassy whom I'm head over heels for? Cheated?

He... he must have thought I was an idiot last night. He must have just bursted into laughter the moment I was sent back off to bed because I'm such a fucking idiot. What is he even keeping me around for? Just entertainment? Kicking down my chair I find a rage in me growing before completely diminishing and I just stare at the toppled down chair before picking it up silently. I'm not giving Gassy enough credit and I know it. He even apologized to Chilled, it's all my fault in the end all due to my own completely ignoring him and avoidance. I couldn't help it and he couldn't help it, we're both afraid. We're both so fucking afraid. And it's all this man's fault. I stare at the news article father is appearing in, smilign so politely to mask his actual wicked self. This man, I so wish I can just hunt this man down but... I can't.
