Lies

Chapter 54

Felix

Five weeks. I've been losing my mind for five fucking weeks!

"Hey Felix!" I hear someone from one of my classes say, but I continue to walk.

"Felix?" They shout in question.

"Leave him alone man. He's starting to bore me." I hear someone say.

Bore them? I'm actually doing something with my life unlike these fuckers.

I decided to go to the mall and pick up an item for my mother. It's a gold chained necklace with emerald center piece and round cut diamonds as petals. I saw it in the window and couldn't walk away. It was made especially for her.

What I didn't think about was how this place is also the hangout spot for students. Especially some of the old guys I used to hang around. I noticed them standing at the fountain in the middle of the mall and it's not as enticing as it once was.

Nothing is anymore.

I watch as they walk over to the cafe shop and start to converse with a bunch of girls. They do their best to show off and some of the girls giggle. It's clock work and it's pathetic. I turn away and head out of the mall to my car.

My hand slides to the back of my neck and I stop once I reach my car and raise my face up to the sun. It's brisk out, but still the feeling of it on my face is nice. It's been a week now since I've last gone to see Kagami.

Her father was there the week prior stating he would be there while Mrs. Tsurugi was gone for the week. She had some business to attend to and they couldn't push it back any longer. He made it very obvious that I was unwelcome when he was there.

To be honest, I was starting to feel guiltier each day I sat next to her. She stayed stagnant  and I was able to wander and roam where I pleased. I was able to continue on without her and I felt that draining me everyday.

I didn't deserve it. She didn't deserve it.

I couldn't bring myself to sit and see her in that state. The resentment started to pool and now it's overflowing. I was too late in saving her. He was able to get close enough to cause harm and I should've been more adamant that she stayed away. Logan had won that night.

And fucking Mila had a part in it.

By the time I had reached the hospital, her head looked swollen and she had just closed her eyes. I carried her in and they took her from me. They dressed her in different garments when I saw her. My heart broke.

Logan had wrapped her neck hard enough for a red welt. I told them what happened. I told him that sick fuck did this. I. Told. Them.

But Logan's father told them to call his lawyer, because at the end of the day it was my word against his.

I fucking brought Kagami in with bruises and they couldn't do shit about it.

The anger began to surge back into my pores as I reached my car.

I entered the vehicle and screamed.

****

I arrived at my house to find it empty. My mother's nurse left a note stating she has taken my mother to her check up and that they won't be back until later. I placed the item I purchased from the mall on my bedroom shelf.

Adrien's ringtone starts to play from my phone and I decide to leave it. I toss the phone on my bed and head towards my shower. My feet stop in its tracks once I hear the familiar ringtone again.

I look back to the shower and sigh. This better be important.

Adrien's number lights up and a headache starts to form. I ask for one thing, be there for Kagami when I'm not and now he thinks he's okay to call me whenever? There is a loud bang at my door and I look at the phone in my hand as it stops vibrating.
