Love Or Obsession?

I failed to protect her

Aaron's P.O.V.

Blood. All over. All I could see was blood, all I could taste was blood, all I wanted was blood. The moment I opened my eyes in the hospital, I don't even know how I found him but I did it.

Through the shattered window, I could see his face and the person I saw wasn't my brother. He was traitor, a betrayer, an enemy. He ruined everything. He destroyed my happiness. He cripple my last hope of family under his shoes.

"Aaron..?" I read his lips.

I was about to break the lock when I heard the door clicking open. He walked out himself, putting on his pretentious manipulative guilty face to fool me. Grabbing him by his colllar, I pulled him out of the car and slammed him against the bonnet, planting a tight punch on his face.

"WHERE IS SHE?!" I roared loudly, rage and desperation threatening to completely take over me.

"I..." he coughed blood, and remained silent. "She's... inside.. the hospital" He spoke again, turning my rage into something monstrous, my blood roared with such intensity that my veins felt like it might explode.

Griping his collar, I threw him against the tree. He stumbled, coughing blood but didn't tried once to fight back. Without a single thought in my head, my hand grabbed his throat and the colour from his face drained out slowly. His hands were fisted beside him, not once trying to free himself from my grip.

"What. Have. You. Done?"

I saw his eyes clouding with tears. Not just tears, tears of regret. He blinked them away, his red eyes meeting mine, as he spoke, "I.. ruined her..." He spoke, and my world collapsed in front my eyes. I felt the air knocking out of my lungs, somehow felt like I'm the one who's getting chocked. I can't breathe.

"I... destroyed everything..." I heard him speak again and suddenly everything went blur.

The blood inside my head pounded against the walls, like it might break it through and splatter my brain across the ground. I felt sick, so, fucking, sick in my stomach. Goosebumps trailing all over my skin, little by little, my limbs shaking from the inside and only one sentence kept ringing inside my head.

I failed. I failed to protect her.
I failed. I'm worthless
I failed. I don't deserve her.
I failed. She didn't deserve this.

My thoughts chewed on my insides like an insect until I was hollow and suffering. This pain.. it paralyzed me until I collapsed on my knees, ashamed of the fact that I failed, and I failed to protect her. I failed to protect the woman I love and now she's suffering because of it. If only... If only I could hear her scream, her call.. her voice... she must have screamed for help.. She must have begged for help. She needed me. She needed me to save her but I didn't. I was supposed to save her but I couldn't.

"No.. Aaron.. I did this. I'm responsible for it" I heard someone's voice but my mind couldn't process, "HIT ME" again the same voice and I was suddenly pulled up to my feet, facing him. The one who's responsible for my destruction. Rage roared through my veins, as I saw his face, which somehow encouraging my hatred even more.

"Yes. Hate. Kill me, Aaron. Do it" He screamed in my face and the next second I punched him straight on his face, breaking his nose. He stumbled back, holding his bleeding nose with one hand.

"I taught you better than that, Aaron! Not good enough" He said loudly, sprinting towards me with large steps. "KILL ME-" I kicked him in his abdomen, he collapsed on the ground on his back, groaning from the hit. My limbs moved on his own accord, punching and kicking him until he was covered in blood and writhing pain. My mind wasn't working, everything seemed to have slowed down, everything seemed distant, faded slowly and the only prominent thing remained was the wrenching pain in my heart making me want to rip my own heart out. It hurts. It hurts so much like someone has snatched the last ray of hope from my life.
