Every Second There Is Love

Chapter Twenty Five ~ Hurt

Chapter Twenty Five ~ Hurt

I confusingly guided Nancy to my house as I still was fully aware of everything. As I tried to get the key in the lock to open the door, someone placed their hands on mine. I looked up to see Mike. My eyes lit up like fire. I gave him a questioned look and he carried me off of Nancy. "Why are you so drunk?! Who made you upset? You know people will worry about you at this hour!" Mike shouted at me with tears in his eyes.
I took Mike's hand off mine and screamed back at him, "Because the person I'm marrying is not Luhan!" I trembled as I said Luhan's name. Tears left me soft hearted. I sat down on the steps and hid in my arms. Nancy tapped me and whispered, "Mike..." I looked up, knowing that the atmosphere just got a whole lot more awkward. I pulled Nancy away from Mike, saying, "Nancy.." Mike's expression changed from worried to angry. His hands quickly wiped his tears away from his face. He pushed me away and forcely grabbed Nancy by the collar of her shirt.

~Nancy's Point of View~
Mike glared into my eyes as his grib on my collar tightened. I was afraid but happy at the same time. My heart beated faster than ever, running two miles won't even make my heart to beat this fast. The love of my life is there in front of me, he's not even that far from me. We're close enough to have our first kiss. But the way he held me by the collar gave me chills down my back, I'm afraid he'll hurt me. Mike finally looked away from my eyes. I sighed and looked down at the ground. Mike slowly turned his head to face me and angrily said, "Because of you, (YourName)'s life is ruined! Because of you, my life is ruined! You knew I never liked (YourName) the way she loved me, yet you were still jealous of her. Because of this jealousy, you chose to bully her and ruin her whole life. She's just an innocent girl! Why did you touch her life?! I love her like my sister, she's my only family to me other than my parents. Do you know how much it hurts to see her being bullied and hated by everyone at school?"
His eyes filled with tears and he released his grip on me. He looked away and shouted, "Get out of my sight! I never want to see you! I can't believe you would risk someone's life just to try and get a guy for yourself! I'm even more disappointed that you're still doing the same thing as before! Now it's Luhan huh? If you love Luhan, then you never loved me either. If it's not love, please don't treat (YourName) like this."

~My Point of View~
Nancy rushed back home after Mike yelled at her. I know she's hurt and just seeing her run off like that hurts my heart. I stood there watching Mike shout at her. She's changed, she really is a much better person now. The past is the past, she doesn't need to be reminded of her aweful past. She's learned her lesson.
Mike pulls me by the arms and angrily walks to the bar. He drank by himself as I sat a few seats away from him. I watched him drink one glass after the other. I wonder what he has on his mind that makes him so upset and depressed at the same time.

~Mike's Point of View~
(YourName), I know I don't love you the way you once loved me. I can't say you still feel the same way towards me. I know you're worried of our random wedding arrangements. Getting married right after high school? Isn't that a bit too much of a rush? I know it's hard for you, I know you have someone else in your heart, it's Luhan right? I'm sorry but although I see you as my own sister, I do have just the tiniest feelings for you. I think it'll be happy for the both of us to get married. A guy like me will never find a girl like you, who loved me so much, who made me feel like I was in heaven even when the school was against the two of us. I know it's selfish of me to claim you as mine and to lock you up from chasing after Luhan but now he has set you free. It's selfish of me but I don't want you to suffer anymore pain. Don't wait any longer for someone who will treat you better. I won't find anyone so sweet like you, I won't find someone who'd love me so much.
I turn to face (YourName). I sit closer to her and grab her hands. I sighed and took one last gulp of wine before I looked into her eyes. I widened my eyes and softly whispered, "(YourName), it's hard for you, isn't it? This whole marriage thing? Life is never fair but you know I tried to make it the most fair for you back then, right? I know it'll be wrong to say this but, please let me upset you just this one time. I know the word love means a lot to you. I know you want to find someone who truly loves you but let me marry you. I know, maybe I don't love you that way. Maybe I don't tremble with your presence the way you would for Luhan but I promise you that I can take care of you forever. Don't be upset with your parents about the marriage anymore, okay?"

~ My Point of View~
This hurts me because he's drinking as he thinks of me. Although I don't want to marry him, saying no to him would make me regret just a bit. Maybe I'll regret because I onced loved him or maybe because I know he's always been there for me. How can I say no to him? After all, I owe him everything for always protecting me. I wouldn't have this life now without him. I asked for a glass of wine and gulped it down right away. I'm unclear if I still have feelings for Mike or am I thinking he's Luhan? I don't know anymore.
I placed my hands on Mike's shoulders and looked into his eyes. I questioned him, "Why me? You can still marry Nancy. Yes I know you'll say that she's not a good person but what makes me a good person compared to her? I lied to everyone about that illness, haven't you heard from my parents and from the whole school? I told one lie to cause her to almost suicide. I lied to not only get her to stop bullying me, but honestly, to get friends and popularity."
Mike grabbed me by the shoulders and replied, "I know, I know but that's because of Nancy, you had a reason to lie. You tried to stop her from bullying you!"
I looked at him as if he was crazy. I laughed with pain and said, "How is my reason even forgiveable? I was jealous of Nancy. So was Nancy, jealous of me. She had a reason as well, does that mean she's forgiven? She wanted friends, popularity, and a guy who'd love her. She wanted love just like me. I was jealous of her because at one point, I thought I was losing Luhan to Nancy. During class time, I went to my locker and saw the two of them together. They sat close to each other and I always thought they wouldn't because they were like enemies. Nancy cried and told her story about why she even bullies. Truthfully it was a sad story but I saw Luhan worry for her so much, I thought he'd go to her side. I thought of everything to make him forget about that conversation. I went to the library and somehow came up with an illness. If I can be forgiven, Nancy should definitely be forgiven. She deserves another chance with you.

Author's Note: The time when (YourName) overheard Nancy and Luhan's conversation was in Chapter Ten. Just a little reminder(:

~Luhan's Point of View~
Aish.. this girl, always drunk and calls the wrong person. Does she not know how to use a phone?!
"Nancy! Mianhae mianhae(sorry)! I know Mike was a bit too harsh on you at first.. please forgive him. I'll get him to say sorry! Did you know what he said to me? He told me to just marry him and forget everything else.. he said he doesn't even love me.. why would he want to marry me then, right? Nancy, you have a chance still. I'll speak with my parents about that marriage. It'll be canceled, I promise! He gave me a crappy reason to take him as my husband, why doesn't he realize you're there for him?" (YourName) shouts.
Aish.. ya! You pabo(dummy in a playful way).. every time I try to avoid you but every time, I can't! I don't want to see you hurt and I don't want you to be drunk at night alone!
I grab my jacket and drive my car as fast as possible, going to the closest bar to (YourName)'s house. I hope she's here. I run inside and see (YourName) drunk with Mike drunk as well next to her. I didn't know you had someone there for you already.. Maybe I'll stop worrying for you and go back home as if I never came. Tears start to form and I don't know why, am I jealous?
