HE'S MINE

063

Terror ran through my whole body and I felt my heart racing in my chest. Yuzuha quickly held my hand tightly and reassured me that I wasn't alone.

"How dare you!" Mikey yelled in anger, rage spilling through his eyes. He began walking our way and Hanma was the only one to make a move forward.

"Don't even think about it," Hanma warned, Baji and the rest of Mikey's friends stepped forward.

"She is my responsibility, my girlfriend," Mikey screamed the words in utter hate, I did feel wrong because I didn't tell my boyfriend that I was going to a cabin with his enemies, so I definitely somehow cheated on him.

"But she is here with us now, and you can't touch her here," Hanma warned again, not caring much about the guys tapping the baseball bats on their palms behind him.

"I don't want any trouble, I just want my girlfriend." Mikey was red, his veins popping out in anger as he spoke. I feared to go with him at that moment.

"Hanma!" sanzu, who was very calm about this situation, grabbed Hanma's hand and pulled him back. I watched Sanzu's face in disbelief and the next this I know Mikey rushed in my direction, but when Yuzuha came in front of me, the hate on Mikey's face grew more.

"Move or else!" Mikey bitterly yelled in her face, he was breathing loudly and aggressively. My heart kept missing beats after beating, I was scared, terrified in my skin. There were mixed feelings that I was going through at that moment.

"No Manjiro!" Sanzu shook his head, slowly approaching them, "You don't threaten her," he pressed his lips in a tight line, he came forward for Yuzuha, "and Yuzuha!" he held her hand and pulled her to the side. My eyes were fixated on Mikey in front of me, who had now no hurdle to stop him from attacking me. The rise and fall of his chest were so visible that looking at it gave me chills down my spine. He was puffing air out of his nostrils like a mad bull while I stood in front of him, shivering and not exactly moving a muscle.

In a spur of the moment, he launched at me and grabbed me by my arms aggressively, I was so scared that a scream escaped my lips, thinking he was going to punch me, but he only grabbed my hand and began pulling me along towards the woods. I turned around and looked at Sanzu, who had his eyes down on the ground, Hanma, who seemed very much upset, and Yuzuha, watching me with tears in her eyes. I was silently being dragged out of the woods, all this time, Mikey muttered something in his mouth, and his friends casually talked to each other.

We were finally out of the woods, Mikey took off his jacket when we were in the woods and wrapped it around me, but it wasn't that sweet movie with a smile on, it looked very much like he was hating me but at the same time he wanted to make sure I don't get cold.

"See you at school." His friend mumbled, glaring at me in disgust and leaving towards their cars while Mikey along with Baji stayed put to my side. Once his friends had left, Mikey turned around to glare my way angrily.

"How could you Y/n, How could you?" His eyes were filled with tears of hurt and betrayal, I was drowning in the guilt and he was in pain.

"It wasn't something crazy or wrong, I swear it was jus---," I grabbed all the strength I had to mumble and he didn't even let me finish.

"If it was nothing wrong, why didn't you let me know before leaving with these guys?" His eyes glaring deep in my eyes, making me shiver and look down in embarrassment and guilt.

"I thought you wouldn't permit." I had tears in my eyes, I can come up with countless excuses, but deep down inside me, I knew what I did was just wrong.

"So you wouldn't listen if I forbid you from something?" He sounded hurt, he constantly bit his tongue, trying to not say anything bad or hurtful, "If I had forbidden you, it was for your own safety."He continued, holding back his tears.

" That guy is dangerous." Baji came forward and mumbled. It was weird that a guy who had always bullied me was talking bad about someone else.

"Baji's twin told us everything," Mikey added, not wanting to look at my face.

"What did she say?" I asked, in my mind, we needed to connect in order to stay together. I was wrong for not letting him know about this little trip to the woods, and most significantly, I was guilty of thinking about Sanzu so deeply. Recently, I hadn't felt a spark in our relationship, but that didn't give me a right to cheat on Mikey or think about Sanzu. I must just break up with Mikey and then think about other guys, that's the right way. Cheating on your partner because you didn't feel the spark or happiness with them anymore is never an excuse, it is just evil.

"What he did to her was awful, she agreed to talk to the principal when the school starts again, which is in two days," Baji mumbled and didn't look up, there was pain on his face and I can understand the concern of a twin brother to his sister, but I wasn't sure about Baji's twin allegations about Sanzu.

"Let's go home," Mikey muttered, walking in the car after Baji and I sat down. He dropped Baji first and now that we were alone in the car, we were heading towards our house.

"Mikey!" I whispered I had to talk to him, make him believe me that nothing happened.

"Save your lies, Y/n." He stated in a low murmur.

" I am not lying,"I said, feeling hurt by being called a liar, selfish and God knows what else. What hurt me more was that Sanzu didn't even try to protect me and I was jeopardizing everything for him.

"I am not interested in your truth anymore." He declared, watching the road ahead, I was in the passenger seat with him. "And don't worry, neither Shinichiro nor Grandpa knows about your lie about the sleepover." He scoffed, shaking his head and making it appear as I was a terrible person for lying to them as well. It wasn't strange that he used their nes directly, he had shown resentment towards them before.

"Tell me how can I make it up to you?" I asked, seriously wanting to get a happy. life with him. Knowing Sanzu has moved on, I felt a fool for jeopardizing what I have for something I have lost already. This is what I have done before when I was friends with Sanzu, I wanted Mikey and now that I have Mikey, I am thinking about Sanzu, this needs to stop.
