Revenge Tastes Sweeter [SALTBURN FANFICTION]

27.

Y-n Pov

I stood in front of the mirror without showing any emotion. I tried to not let myself feel for Evie Windsor.

She wasn't even my friend. So why should I feel anything for her.

Yet I find myself getting sad as I focus on the black dress that wrapped around my body.

Somehow I'd miss the self centered girl.

Somehow, I'd miss sharing a laugh about the stupidest of things with Evie.

As my cheeks experience the burning tears, my eyes flutter shut.

"Y-n."

I don't need look to know who'd just wandered into my room. I quickly look off to the side as I try and compose myself.

"I'm almost done. Let me just——"

"Stop." I attempt to swallow away the knot that has formed in my throat. Felix grabs my shoulders as he stops me from moving across the room.

"Stop." He repeats, "It's ok to feel sad." He speaks softly.

"You and Evie shared a lot of history together. So it's ok. You're allowed to cry." Felix gently swipes his thumb across my cheeks as he cleans my tears away.

My chest tightens as we focus solely on each other.

"Stop it Felix. I don't want your comfort." I reach for his hand as I remove it off my face.

"Let's just get this over with."

Silently, we both made our way to the front of the university where a black car waited for us.

The feeling inside my chest only grew heavier as I watched Margo and Farleigh walk past Felix and I. Farleighs eyes catch mine. He doesn't smile. Instead he nods his head down not knowing what else to do. I return the nod. Farleigh assists a fragile looking Margo into the black car behind ours.

As I enter the car in front of me, I turn my gaze away from them.

My throat becomes dry as the car finally pulls into the cemetery.

I take a deep breath in once we come to a full stop.

"I'm here, for what it's worth." Felix's voice fills the back of the car. He doesn't wait for me to answer as he gets off the car first.

I watch Felix make his way around the car, towards my side. He smiles slightly while he opens the door. I feel more at ease as he offers me his hand. I place my hand on his.

We walk along side Farleigh and Margo.

"Mr Windsor." Margo gently speaks to the visibly drunken man that stumbled in front of us.  Mr Windsor disregards Margo as he focuses on me instead.

"HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE HERE??!" My mouth falls open as I'm taken aback by the older man's sudden outburst.

"Sir—-" Mr Windsors heavy palm meets the side of my face. Both Margo and Farleigh gasp.

Felix gets between Mr Windsor and I. I take a step back as Felix grabs onto the intoxicated mans shoulders.

"YOU MURDERER! YOU KILLED MY LITTLE GIRL!!"

"Mr Windsor please. You've had a lot to drink."

"I DON'T WANT HER HERE!"

I stop altering the older man in front of me as I walk away from the cemetery.
