Chapter 7 - A Breaking Relationship?

Girlfriend's POV

Keith hasn't replied to any of my texts for a whole week. I wonder if anything happened to him? But even when I was wondering about that, I kept on gathering more information on Pico and thinking about my plans, incase whatever that "Voice" planned to do failed.

I heard my phone ring, so I went to go grab it. I pick up and answer it not bothering to look at who was calling, "Hello?" I ask sternly. "Uh, hey Girlfriend!" Oh it's Keith! He finally called back! 

"Hey, you haven't texted me back for the past week did anything happen?" 

"No, I'm fine!"

"Then why haven't you text me back since today?"

"Oh about that, I was just kind of busy.."

"Busy doing what? You know you could've just told me! You made me worried!"

"Sorry.."

"It's alright, anyway I wanted to ask if you wanted to go on a vacation! Just us!"

"That's a great idea, but I can't right now." 

"Why? Can't you spend time with me for once?"

"Of course I can, I just need to take care of.."

"Of..?"

"Something important.."

"Please don't try to hide things from me, you paused, I know there's something wrong.."

 He sighs. "It's just.."

"Go on."

"My ex got into an accident."

"..Say what now?"

"My ex..?"

"Yeah, who..?"

"Pico, the guy I rapped against in the dark alleyway.."

Hearing that name made me furious. "Why are you still getting near that guy?!"

"G-girlfriend calm down."

"No! I won't calm down! I need a reason!"

"Okay! okay!"

"So?" I asked eagerly with a bitter tone

"How about I come over there, then we'll talk?"

"Fine, but hurry up!"

"A-alright!"

I try to calm down, but still angry. I knew that Pico wouldn't go down that easily.. I sit down in our living room waiting for Keith.

Keith's POV

I hurry up and get ready, I grab my car keys, go outside and drive all the way to Girlfriend's house. I park just outside of her house and go inside, luckily the door was unlocked. She was laying on her couch. "Hey Girlfriend.." She sits up looking at me, her face quickly changing to an annoyed expression.

"Took you long enough."

"Sorry.. Again."

"Just explain."

"Well.. I don't know much but, when I arrived at his house he was a bleeding mess."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you want to visit him?"

"I don't know.. I felt bad?"

"Alright then, go on"

"After that I took him to the hospital, luckily he was fine and after a few days, I took him ho-"

"To your house?"

"No, his.."

"That was pretty much what happened.."

"Well, I don't want you getting near him."

"But why? He changed he's not the same anymore!"

"He's still not safe! We already know what he did to you in the past!"

"It was in the past!"

"He's still dangerous! What if he's just gaining your trust? What if he's jealous of us and he's trying to break us apart?!"

"I used to know him! And I know he wouldn't do something like that!"

"You used to! But not anymore!"

"Why do you care so much anyway?! We're just friends now! It's not like we'd be together again so easily! So stop jumping to conclusions!"

"I just don't want to lose you! I love you a lot! And I fear that I might lose you to some guy from your past.."

I sigh, walking closer to her and embracing her.

"Don't worry.. I promise I won't ever leave you."

"Thank you.."
