Nights send me to you

Ch-31 | his voice

Jay POV

I had finally arrived at my penthouse, I quietly went inside my bedroom and sat on the edge of my bed exhausted, I  took out the first aid kid and started applying the ointment on my wound, this was one of the reasons I didn't want to go back to the mansion, it was never my home I never felt at home back there, it felt more like a prison and I was kept locked away from life, I wished to go back and study abroad because of my own father but he forced me to read here and wanted to introduce me to his company partners and those filthy rich people.

"shit this hurts to the core" I winced in pain cursing under my breath

I was carefully applying the ointment my mind was filled with milions of questions i know i made a mistake but still i just felt like they took it too far whoever uploaded the video especially what the caption said they were framing me like i was doing it everytime i had a tournament that i used my accessibility to the game,I just wanting to close my eyes and drift into a deep slumber but it was interrupted by a call

"really?right now? can I even get sometime to sleep" I groaned and picked up the call not looking at the ID of the person who called me

"what do you want" I asked annoyed

"Jay are you okay?" I heard Niki's voice from the other side of the call

"why did you call me pixie" I scoffed but a part of me felt relief that it was him who called me

"I may an idea on who leaked your video" he whispers on the call

"do me a favour will you?" I asked him

"I already asked someone to take do-" I cut off his words before he could answer

"don't delete anything" I answered with a smug grind

"I'll make sure to del-what??? you don't want to delete the video?" Niki asked me as his voice got louder

"yeah I don't. it's fun how the paparazzis have made a huge impact" I replied with a light chuckle

"are you sure" Niki asked uncertain of what I said

"the news will die out soon just let it surface the media for the meantime" I reply in satisfaction imagining the look on my father's face for some reason that brought me comfort more than anything could

"did something happen" Niki asked awkwardly on the call

"probably everything" I mumble

"are you free tomorrow night" I asked him not sure where this was going

The other side of the line went silent for a few seconds not even a single sign of his breath but he seem to recover quickly

"yeah I am why" he asked with confusion in his tone

"let's go to an arcade" I reply my voice filled with pride, even if I didn't want to admit I wanted to be better than him in any aspects of the game

"for?" he asked again questioning himself probably surprised

"to quench my thirst" I reply clenching onto my sheet, the memory of desperation when I wanted to win against him

"are you asking me to be your friend" Niki asked uncertain of whatever I just said to him

"you could take it that way" I reply waiting for his response

"I guess it doesn't hurt be friends with you" Niki replied softly, I some how felt a tint of happiness when I hear those words

"I'll text you the place tomorrow" I say to him with a smug grind on my face

"this is not one of your petty plans right" he asked me suspiciously, of course it's Niki that I am talking with not some dumb kid

I let out a dry chuckles "I am not that desperate anymore" I scoff

"sure you aren't" Niki remarked sarcastically

I inhale a deep breath, a sentence aching to be said the moment he called me but it was stuck in my throat

"anyways I gotta go" Nik says about to call

"I'm sorry for everything" I said it in a hurry, swallowing my last bits of pride knowing I had lost everything

"wh are you apologising to me" Niki asked blankly

"I was just really desperate to win" I mumble

"you should be apologising to your teammates not me" Niki says in a comforting tone like every bad thing I did to him didn't matter for him

"but it affected your team too" I mumble but all I could hear was a deep sigh from the other side of the call

"you wasted your teammates efforts which you should make up to first" he replied calmly

"I will" I mumble in embarrassment

"now that it's settled good night" Niki says not bothered my anything I said to him

"good night" I mumble and cut the call, my heart pounding heavily like it will burst out of my chest any moment.

I look up to my ceiling admit the stars visible in the starry sky.

"what is this feeling? why can't I run away from it" I said to myself moving my hand over my chest, a smile forming on my face as I recall Niki's voice on the call.
