HE'S MINE

023

"you heard me, don't even act---" I was babbling again to make it seem as I wasn't afraid of him and that's when he interrupted by giving me a loud hush.

"you said it today, I don't want to hear it again," he growled, his voice louder and his eyes glaring at me as he would kill me. I was taken aback by his anger, he has never talked to me like that. I was used to hearing harsh words, but coming from Sanzu, they hurt me. I get it, I was over the line with all the accusations on his beloved Yuzuha, but I expected him to clear the misconception rather than hashing me.

"I just told the truth." my voice wasn't commanding anymore, suddenly, I was afraid of him. Lowering my head, I tried to swallow the tears that had just been born.

"She is my friend, and I will never let anyone disrespect her." He continued in a threatening voice. well, look at him being so defensive for her when he used to defend me more. I stared at his face while zoned out in my imaginary universe where I stood alone and broken. I couldn't believe the guy in front of me is the same person, who cared about me.

where have you taken yourself Y/n? isn't it all your fault? my mind yelled, but I shut the thoughts immediately.

"UNDERSTOOD?" he yelled, shock hit me as my body startled and shivered beyond my control. I raised my eyes in surprise. a tear escaped my eyes and he saw it. The harshness from his face disappeared, but it was too late, yeah, that everyone is important over me.

"yeah!" I mumbled and my lip quivered as I tried not to cry. he watched my face in confusion and then lowered his head. he scanned the surroundings, probably thinking what else to say next.

"I didn't mean to ye---" his voice was soft again, but I was hurt, I was looking for a reason to cry after Mikey ditched me to drop Baji's twin and Sanzu just gave me the reason. why everyone takes me for granted? am I doing something wrong? in the process of running after Mikey, have I left everyone far behind?

"It is okay. I understand now." I murmured, feeling miserable and alone and gently scratching the skin of my finger. I turned around, to begin with, my journey again, but my legs seemed to lose their strength with every step I took. I can feel him walking behind me and at this point, I didn't feel like being myself with him as well. his tone had made me act the same as I act with others around me. Maybe Shinichiro was right! I showed him the bold side of mine, maybe that's why he stopped respecting me. I reached home and didn't say a word to anyone. I was trying to act normal, but the fact that Mikey wasn't home the whole day made me think if he was still with Baji's twin.

I did my homework and everything, it was 8 pm and Mikey still wasn't home when I receive a text from Yuzuha, which I didn't expect but a part of me was scared to open it. The fact that she had texted me the same day I bitched about her character, I knew Sanzu tell her everything. I gulped and opened her text.

Yuzuha: you okay?

was she concerned or just laughing at me?

Me: yes! thanks for asking.

Yuzuha: Y/n, Listen! I don't know what happened between you and Sanzu but trust me he cares about you.

My eyes jumped out of their sockets and I re-read her message again. what the hell, is that a girlfriend selling her boyfriend? didn't he tell her what happened? what did I say about her?

Me: that's nice of him, but I don't even know him.

That was me being very petty and annoyed. it is just when nobody cares for you and when the only person does, you want more and more from him to satisfy yourself.
