The door bell rang!
Tay frowned slightly and went to get the door.
The bell was ringing continuously. Whomever that may was in a hurry.
Stop it.... You are giving me a headache...
The moment Tay opened the door a frantic looking Liam shoved Tay aside and came running to me.
'Newwwww'
Oh... My ... God
Liam throws himself at me and buried his face in the crook of my neck. He was hysterical.
'Ssshhhh, ..... Hey it's ok, it's ok, I am fine' I tried to pacify him.
On the other hand Tay was throwing daggers at Liam's back. His eyes was murderous.
This is high time. If Liam opens his mouth he will definitely talk about the slip and Tay will kill him, but if he stays here in my arms Tay will kill me.
I choose the latter option.
'Tay, can you give us some moment'?
I know this gonna cost me.
But I have to talk to Liam privately. I've to tell him not talk about the incident in front of Tay.
Tay gave me a long look filled with hurt then took his bag and left quietly.
I shouldn't done that. My heart was screaming at me, I've hurt my beast friend.
But now I have to talk to Liam.
After about an hour later Liam left the dorm. I tried my best to persuade him to not disclose the details of the fight to anyone, especially in front of Tay. But he feels so guilty that I don't know if he will listen to me or not.
I feel tired, my headache is back and there was no Tay to tend my wounds.
I hit the bed and drifted off.
I didn't sleep well last night. I was hungry in the middle of the night but too lazy to go to the kitchen and cook something, I forgot to take the meds, so my pains returned with double force.
When I wake up I feel groggy, everything in my body hurts. Only positive side is I can open both of my eyes and the swollen has reduced.
I have to take some meds. With that thought I grab the first medicine I can find on the side table and took it.
My phone notification shows that today I have to submit my calculas project before 3 p.m. thank god that it is ready to handover, just needs some tweaking.
Tay didn't call me once, nor did he sent any message. I was in utter dilemma how to approach him. I tried his phone but it was switched off.
Around 1 p.m I head out for uni, I was driving in a slow pace because a queasy feeling in my stomach was making me uncomfortable. At 2 p.m I submitted my project, got an earful from the professor about last minute submission.
I was hopeful that I might catch a glimpse of Tay here or may be get a chance to talk to him but with no luck.
Finally I picked up the courage and went to his house. I don't care what will he do once he saw me, he can shout at me, he can even punch me, all I know I miss my best friend and want to see him.
He answered his door on the third knock. I was hoping a verbal spat or physical beating but all I got was silent treatment. He opened the door, turned around and went straight to the living room, I followed hesitantly, not knowing what to say or do.
To my surprise he was not alone. There was someone with him. A handsome boy sitting down on the sofa way too comfortably looking at his phone. Tay went there and sat down just beside him with no gap in between them.
What the fuck!
I stopped short at the sight.
Who is he! What is he doing at Tay's house, why are they looking so intimate, Tay does not even properly looked at me or talked to me.
I felt a sharp pain in my heart. It took all my strength to stand straight without making a sound. Inside I feel like a dead person, hollow and numb.
What's this feeling!?
I take out the chocolate I brought for him, put it down on the kitchen counter and slipped out from the house. Tay didn't even noticed.
I started the car and drive aimlessly for some time. My stomach pain is now intolerable, but I don't give a fuck.
When I parked my car at the parking lot it's half past nine. I don't even have the energy to get out of the car. I just want to sleep and drift off to oblivion. Mom is calling nonstop, but I don't wanna talk to anybody. The person I wanted to talk most busy with somebody else.
Fucker
I climbed up the stairs one at a time with the little strength left in me. When I finally reached the door someone was waiting for me there.
'Hello' I said hesitantly.
'New!'
'Natty!'
'How are you? Are you ok?'
'Yeah yeah I am fine'
'New I am sorry'
'Hey please it's ok don't worry about it'.
'No New I should've stopped Fluke...'
'Oh come on.. Liam started it.'
'Still New I....'
'Liam started what?' The ominous voice came from behind me.
It's Tay.
'Liam started what?' He asked again.
'No Tay it's really Fluke who lost his temper and...'
'Did Fluke beat New?' Tay sound horrified.
'Yeah' Natty said timidly.
'I am sorry again New it was just a misunderstanding, if only Liam didn't said that....'
'Natty it's ok please let it be'. I cut her off before she could spill the beans.
'I will take your leave then'
'Sorry again' with that she was gone.
I can sense that someone burning a hole in the back of my head with his glare but I was too tired to pick a fight.
I started unlock my door.
'What really happened that day?'
Tay was right behind me.'Go away'
'New I'm warning you...'
'I don't care'.
With that I open my door, entered and close it hurriedly.
'New!'
Tay was furious, but I really don't care. Go to your stupid friend.
