Kai Part 7

-end of flashback-

Kai's pov

It was her again. Mom. Her memories just used to hit me out of nowhere. In high school, college and even now...she's my only weak point. Except in high school and college, I had her....

Well speak of the devil. I noticed her looking at me from the rooftop door. She was about to walk away, almost slamming the door when I caught it. "Can we please talk? PLEASE?" "No." "Will you just fucking listen to me once? Just once?" This statement made her stop in her tracks. "Alright, what is it?" I was silent for a while. "We don't have all day. It would be suspicious for the groom and the bridesmaid to be found together on the rooftop." I flinched at her statement and I said it...what I had kept in me...for so long. "I.... don't. I don't want it." "Want what?" "This. This marriage." "Well, it's too late for that. And why would you tell me this?" "Because......" "Because?" "Just because." She let out a sad chuckle at my answer and left the rooftop. I was just left there......dumbfounded. I remember when I was left dumbfounded like this when...... Aish was falling for jay. That made me hate him even more. Every day I was forced to hang out with Aramis and Aish would hang out with him. I couldn't blame her for that, I just assumed she was cheating on me because ......I saw them both hugging at the school rooftop. Maybe that's was just a friendly hug? And this would've been me and Aish right now if...? Never mind, doesn't matter. That was the last time I saw her until.... a few days ago, I suppose. I guess I blamed myself somewhere because.... well, I wasn't there with her.... I remember her face when I had slapped her. Hurt and anger filled her eyes and I deserved the slap after that.........

"KAI!" I looked back to see Aisha. Her faced was filled with horror as if she witnessed something horrible. "Jay.... he...." "He what?" "He got hit by a truck."

"WHAT? HOW?" Before she could say anything, I found myself running down the stairs towards the roadside. Yes, our house was on the street but WE ARE ADULTS. WE DON'T GO RUNNING INTO THE STREET TO GET HIT BY TRUCKS GODDAMIT. A huge crowd had formed around the street and I pushed through them. He was just lying there.... lifeless. His body on a pool of blood. I ran to him, his head in my hands.... It all happened so fast after that...... Someone called an ambulance and Jay was rushed to the hospital. The moment we entered; Jay was taken into the ICU. We weren't allowed in, just told to wait. That was the day I realised my affection for Jay. I recalled the tiniest moments when Jay tried to stand up for me when I never did for him. When Jay tried to make me his brother but I blatantly refused. When he......tried to love me but I didn't.

-flashback-

"Hey! My name is Jay! Nice to meet you! Brother." The kid happily lent his hand forward to his to-be-brother. In return, he receives a smack on the hand from his to-be- brother. "Kai! That's not nice! Apologize, right now!" The boy's father yells at him. Th boy just looks down and the meets eyes with the boy named, Jay. "I don't wanna know who you are and WE ARE NOT BROTHERS!"
