FIGHT FOR ME

4} Make You Sorry

[Zelos's pov]

The sun spiked through the blinds, and woke me up. It was barely 6 am, and when I moved my body even an inch, I felt a sharp unbearable pain shoot through my entire body. No matter what I did, move or not move it hurt like fuck. I turned around and laid on my stomach, burying my face in my pillow groaning.

The clothes I wore yesterday were still on my body. Some parts of it were stained by blood. I'm sure that I've broken at least 3 major bones in my body, but there was no way I'm calling anybody for help. I can barely move, let alone get up and walk a mile to the school Doctor. I'm not calling Lucia for help either, she is my sister and that's precisely why she's the last person I need to know about this. I can take care of myself, just, fucking, fine. We're not in the same homeroom this year so the news won't travel too fast that I'm not in class.

"Motherfucker...I wanna...shoot myself..." I mumbled, "I swear...when I catch you Siony...for...doing thi....." I was too tired and my words slurred. Soon I passed out again.

Hmm. It's 20 minutes past the bell for class now and anyone who's late has usually already showed up and he's still not here. During individual work time, the rumors were at its peak. It's individual work time for goodness's sakes. I just wanted to be left alone with my work. Students were chattering so loudly and staring at me, they didn't have anyone better to talk about. I never care for rumors, it's honestly tiring. Especially when it's about me.

A few said I was the one who broke the terms of the fight and beat the living shit out of Zelos to teach him a lesson. Others said they saw Zelos break the terms first, and they were repeatedly bashing his name, calling him all sorts of horrible things and declaring death threats towards him. Most of the students favored me because they knew me well and talked about how much I'm a man of my word, and how disgusting and pathetic Zelos was to think he could take advantage of that.

That's the thing about rumors and why they make me mad, none of it is true. We broke the terms at the exact same time. People just like to say what they think they saw or what they want to believe. No matter how much I resent him, I hated false rumors just as much and he didn't deserve that. I wouldn't admit that out loud, though. A couple of times, some kids came to me and asked me what really happened.

"Hey, did you really break the rules of the fight?!"
"It doesn't matter if he did, that asshole picked a fight with a Hellona. He should've known what was coming"
"I heard from my sister, she said Zel-whatever his name is.....cheated."
"First Claudius now Siony. How can someone get in trouble with 2 Hellonas"
"He got beaten so badly he's not even in class today."
"Better not show up at all."

I heard whispers and murmurs about Zelos being involved with Claudius, and I wasn't about to ask about it and get fed lies. I'm determined to ask Zelos himself what happened the moment I see him, talking to even him is better than to try and ask Claudius about something. I'd rather die.

"Whatever you think happened." I answered. When I spoke to them, I plastered a seemingly allegorical, but in-genuine smile on my face. I was so tired of feeling like I was in front of a dozen microphones with the eyes of cameras around me, waiting for me to give out some dramatic testimony. I didn't think too much of it. But sooner, I'd realize my response to the rumors would have dire consequences.

I woke up hours later, and I wasn't even sure if I was in time for lunch or dinner. I cautiously got up from my bed and rested again in a sitting position. Slowly, I slid out of my jacket, and took off my shirt. I looked to the nightstand on my right, my eyes focused on the digital clock, and it was 1 pm. I had slept for around 7 hours after falling asleep again at 6 am this morning. My arms naturally lifted up to stretch and I yawned, before a familiar sharp pain stung my arms again.
