Chapter 47

It's been a week and a couple of days since the argument at the apartment. And for once I'm relieved he actually did listen to me. I've not seen or heard from him ever since and it just- I wouldn't say it brought me peace but it did relieve me. I still can't believe I admitted my feelings towards Mitchell that day and in front of Edward. Who am I? But the question is, does he feel the same way I do? 

I walk out of the building and walk straight to my car waiting for Mitchell to come so we could go have lunch. I turn up the volume when I hear You & I playing on the radio. My mind goes to all the moments I've spent with Mitchell. Like when we first met. Wait, let me rephrase that. When I knocked over him and he fell on the floor is when I met him and then figured out we were in the same Art class. I smiled at the times when we had to take Ellie to the park and babysit her but honestly it was just us spending time and just getting closer everyday. It's crazy how he and I are different in a lot of ways but we do connect and that connection is never like how it was with Edward. 

Just then I hear yelling and fighting. I almost gasped in shock when I see Edward beating up Mitchell. Mitchell already has a blood running on his lip and he looks as if he'll pass out any moment. I rush out of the car but Mitchell is already gone. That is when I hear a car screeching. Mitchell's car. 

"What do you think you're doing Edward?" I shout and his eyes widen. 

"Where were you?" 

"Don't act innocent. I saw what you just did" I snapped. 

"I was protecting you!" He shouts and I scoff. 

"What part of, 'this is over' don't you understand?" I gestured between us with my hands. 

"You're really into him aren't you?" He questions and I froze. "Guess so" he answers before I could even say anything. 

"Where is he?" I ask him before he walks away. 

"I don't know, he just raced out of the building" he says coolly. Raced out? Oh my gosh!

Without wasting another second I sprint to my car and drive out of the building. Once I was on the main road I was literally cussing at my own self because the traffic on the roads. Lut of all days when I'm calm and actually look forward for getting late to college, it happens now. 

 
"Get the hell away!" I yelled at one of the car drivers who blocked me.

"No!" I screamed seeing him driving straight to the pole. "Mitchell! Stop!" I sped behind him.

I took over him. This is now or never. I don't care if I'm going to die, I just don't want him to do something so crazy because of what happened back there. I drove so fast overtaking him and thank God he didn't notice my car. Good. I drove a few metres away and stopped my car in the middle of the road. This is a bad idea but that's the least of my problems. My thoughts were interrupted by a loud screech. His car was right infront of mine. I could see how shocked he looked.

"Are you out of your mind?!" I screamed while getting out my car slamming the car door and walked towards him.

"No. You are out of your mind for blocking my way!" He screamed, his breathing is unsteady.

"I am not going to just watch whatever you were about to do!" I screamed back. This got him fuming.

"Mind your damn business Liya! Why don't you go and spend some time with lover boy huh?" He spat. What did Edward say to him?

"We're done for good" his eyes literally widened and I think i saw hurt but that soon disappeared. "You should be happy" I mumbled but he stayed quiet.

Without another word he just got in his car and reversed turing around leaving me in the  middle of the road. What the hell? I quickly got into my car. I can't leave him alone. He'll do something stupid. I don't have the strength to lose someone again. I spotted his car racing around the streets. I followed him and thank God he was pulling up at his apartment. I ran up the stairs since he had taken the lift. I was a panting mess by the time I reached his floor. I quickly collected myself and made my way to his room. Thankfully the door was opened and what I heard next wasn't something interesting. I was invited with a view of broken glass pieces scattered everywhere. This isn't new to me though. 

"Mitchell" I called and in a matter of seconds he walks out of his room.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He looks at me angrily. 

"Trying to be there for you is what the hell I'm doing here." I said.

"I don't need anyone to be there for me. Go home Liya. Just go." He says coldly.

"I'm staying here. I'm not going anywhere." I stood my ground.

"Why the hell can't you just listen? I don't need anyone. I'm better off alone and I was just about to get rid of everything and you had to come in between…" he says pacing around the room.

"Yes, you do. You just won't admit it… I'm gonna keep coming in between if you decide to do stupid things like that!" I screamed.

"It's not stupid! I was doing what was best for you! You wouldn't have me bothering around. You'll finally have him all to yourself and he wouldn't have to be bothered to protect you from me! I was doing it for you! I can still do something if it weren't for you! You want him, not me! So please do us both a favour by leaving me alone. You don't need to be here." He spat. I was hurt. He doesn't know yet. I'm angry at myself because he was about to risk his life and that was because of me!

Before I know it I'm seeing him break the kitchen cabinet. All of the China falling onto the wooden floor. Shattering into pieces. He dashed the glasses. Taking one if the half broken glass and bringing it towards his ches-no!

"Mitchell no!" I ran almost slipping on the broken glass but managed to grab the glass from his hand.

I pulled his arm basically shoving him out of the kitchen back to the hall. He looks angry. He's probably going to tell me off but I don't care. I just want to be there foruim right now. 

"Mitch, you're scaring me." my breath hitched as I silently cried. That got him to look at me. His eyes softened as he walked towards me cupping my face in his hands.

"No,no, no, Liya. Please don't cry." He gently wiped the tears that were now falling with both of his thumbs. "I'm sorry. I don't want to hurt you. You mean everything to me. Please baby, don't cry" he cupped my cheeks. Did he just call me baby?

"You almost got yourself killed." I choked out. He almost killed himself. If it weren't for me he would've been injured or worse by now.

"Yeah, I wanted that but you should'nt have come like that. What if something had happened to you?" He was angry but he still controlled it.

"I had to save you! You would've died!" I said the tears returning.

"You shouldn't have" he stated his hands at his sides.

"What are you talking about? You expect me to watch you almost kill yourself?" I screamed.

"Yes! You should've done that. You should've been at your house and not come and put your life in danger like that for some messed up person like me!" He yelled.

"I will put my life in danger for you if I have to. You think I'm was going to ignore the fact that you were about to get yourself killed? And as a matter of fact, you're not the only messed up person. I am messed up too." I fired back.

"Why would you do that for someone like me." This got me angry now. Isn't it obvious? 

"Because I love you!" I yelled the truth leaving him shocked.

"You couldn't. That's impossible..." he mumbled. "I couldn't possibly match up to him. He's perfect. He can make you happy. He's the best person for you." He's comparing himself to Edward. "You could make things work with him and be back together again…" he said the last sentence avoiding my stare.

"I don't want him. I want you. I don't want you to be like him. I want you the way you are." I confessed.

He doesn't say anything. 

He doesn't feel the same.
