The Bestfriend [R18+ on going]

Chapter 42

-I'LL COME WITH YOU-

Raven's POV

Looking at my swollen fist, I examined it silently while tracing the cuts on my skin as they stung, making me hissed in pain but this physical pain I'm feeling right now is nothing compared to the emotional pain that I'm feeling almost like everyday inside me.

How could she keep the truth from me? I thought she....still cares. Turns out that I just assumed the wrong thing. Karina's choosing their side and it feels like she won't change her mind even in just a second.

I clenched my jaw as I closed my hand in a tight fist to the point that it already turned white. I'm so mad at her but I'm more mad at myself for thinking that she still cares about me. That the Karina I grew up with is still somehow inside her. I'm so mad. I feel so fucking useless right now.

They all see me as a fool.

A knock on my door pulled me out of my thoughts. "You okay?" Shawn asked while leaning against the door frame as I nodded my head 'yes' at him stiffly.

"Liar." He chuckled then strides inside my office and sat on the couch that's place on the side of the room, making himself comfortable and pouring a liquor in his glass before taking a sip on it.

"How'd you know?" I asked in a low tone, my eyes breaking away from his direction and turning my gaze back to my bruised hand. This wounds on my skin will get healed in no time but the wounds in my heart will stay forever, reminding me of the bitter and horrible things I've gone through.

"Your eyes says it all." Shawn mumbled then paused, taking another sip from his glass before continuing, "I heard what happened here last night. I just really want to know how you're doing right now."

"I don't know. I feel like shit. Everything hurts." I spoke in gritted teeth as Shawn stood up then patted my shoulder sympathetically.

"You'll be fine. You're a strong guy Raven. I believe you know what to do." He mumbled as I frowned then leans my head on the chair as I let's out a loud sigh.

"I don't know what to do Shawn—"

"You do." He cut my words as he glared at me and before I can even protest, he already has the collar of my shirt on his hands, dragging me outside my office and to the elevator.

"What the fuck? Where are you taking me!?" I started to struggle but to my dismay I was already pushed inside the elevator as it closes. Turning to him, I glared daggers towards him as I fixed my crumpled suit.

"We'll eat down the hotel. It's been a long time since we ate there tho." Shawn simply answered while smiling ear to ear. Hmm, I sense something evil.

"Are you planning something?" My eyes are squinted in suspicion while eyeing him. This better be good.

"Nah, just hungry. How could you accused me?" His eyes went wide as saucers as he put a hand on his chest like I've stabbed him on that spot, his cry becoming overdramatic as he slid down the elevator's wall like a drama queen.

"What the fuck? Will you stop that? Damn you're sending shivers to my spine." I exclaimed then took a step a bit far from him.

"Okay okay, I'll stop now. You don't have to get away from me like I have a fucking virus you idiot." Shawn's soft chuckle erupted inside the elevator making me laugh as well. Damn this guy really knows how to lift up my mood.

"That's good then." I mumbled then shakes my head as the elevator dinged and opened. We both walked out as we are greeted by different people's noise. Some are chatting and some are laughing, it's all basically a noise.
