APART

Chapter 42: CHAOS!

         "Shiitt! What the fuck is wrong with this girl?!" I yelled out in pain with my hand placed on my infected eye as i tried to walk as fast as i can to the bathroom with pain in between my legs. I got to the sink and hurriedly turned on the sink, using my hand as a bowl to wash the saliva off my eye.

          I stood there washing my eye for some seconds before it stopped paining me. With my hand on my crotch, i walked back into the room and got a towel to damp the water off my eye.

          "Oh goodness, what have i done?" I solilioquised. "Now, i made Iris run away from me when she knows about Ruby. What do i do now? She's definitely going to report me to the police." I thought.

           I sat down on the bed and practiced a breathing exercise. My elbows were placed on my knees while my head rested on my palms. "What the fuck do i do now? She must have gone far by now. But why am i finding it hard to admit my feelings for Iris? I feel it deep within me that i've fallen in love with that girl but yet, i still try to deny it and try to wave it off as infatuations. I know i love that girl, i know i really do. But how would i slap a girl i have serious feelings for?" I asked myself.

           While still seating, i felt a warm liquid roll down my cheeks. I touched my hands and felt it. They were tears. Was i really crying for a girl? Shit! I'm in love with Iris. This is bad. She was only meant be used to satisfy my sexual desires not fall in love with. I had always felt it that i loved this girl but i just never knew what love felt like. This shit is strong.

          "How do i make her forgive me now? She just forgave me on Monday and i've wronged her again on a friday. Within the same week! How do i get her back?" I fell on my bed and allowed the tears flow. I had never felt what love was. This is the first time in my whole life that i'm having such a strong feeling and crying for a girl.

           "Young man!" I heard someone say in my room. I immediately wiped my tears and stood my ground. I sat up and saw four hefty men standing in my room.

           "What do you want?" I said with an intimidating look.

           "Who are you asking what do you want?" Said the biggest guy amongst all of them.

           "I asked you a question which is meant to be replied with an answer, not to be answered with another question." I said to them calmly while still seating. There's no way i'll be able to beat all four of this men. I'll be outnumbered and brutqlised by them. But nonetheless, i won't back down.

          "We heard that you hit a woman." Said one of them who was holding a baton. "And everything isn't meant for the police. Don't you know you're in this world because of a woman?"

           "What do you want? And me having a little quarrel with my..." I paused and contemplated on what to call Iris. "Me having a little quarrel with my partner shouldn't be any of your business."

           "Shut up your mouth!" Shouted one of them. "Because she's a woman, you decided to raise your hand on her. Does she look like a punching bag to you?"

          "Fuck off!" I shouted and stood up from the bed. Now i knew they were here for a fight.

           "See this baby antelope." The hefty one among them said causing all for them to laugh as they slowly approached me. "Bro, calm down." He gestured with his hand. One of them closed the door and locked it.

          "Back off!" I shouted moving back. I need defense. Now standing close to the side wardrobe, i moved my hand little close to the side lamp.

          "Don't worry. We just want to send you to your ancestors for a little while. You won't stay there for long." They laughed in their hoarse voices. I balled my hand into a fist and stood my ground.

         The first guy latched at me and i gave him a punch in the face followed by a kick to his abdomen. He lost balance for a little while which gave me an opening to grab the side lamp. With the second guy coming for me, i held the lamp tight and aimed for his head.

Bang!

          I smashed the lamp on the back of the second guy after missing his head. Flying glass splattered on my face and arm causing little droplets of blood to start form. The third guy used his baton to hit the remains of the lamp away from hand, leaving me defenseless. I grabbed the baton with my hand that was hit and pulled him closer giving him a head bump. He backed away and i used the baton to slam one of the guys on the head.

        I raised it up to hit another person but my hand was caught in the air by the biggest of all of them. We did a little tug of war before he collected baton from me. I threw my hands up to land him a punch but my hand stopped by another guy who landed a  heavy punch on my face. I tried to mirroring his action but i was met with another punch on the face.

         Repeatedly, they all took turns to throw punches at my face while kicking my abdomen. I lost my balance and fell on the floor due to so much pain in my lower abdomen. Now laying helpless on the floor, the all kicked me repeatedly causing me to cough out blood. All i could do was growl in pain, i had no energy to plead. I never knew this was how my victims felt when i kicked them in the abdomen.

          With my whole face and body now covered in blood, they decided to leave me alone. The floor i laid on was now covered with my own blood. I laid there helpless and defeated.

           "Jagger! Let's go." Said one of them who was holding the door open.

        "Next time, you'll never lay your hand on a woman again." Said the biggest guy. "Bastard!" He said and landed one last kick on my rib cage before they left. I could barely see. My whole vision was covered in blood.

        Immediately they left, two guys came in and carried me on a stretcher. All i knew is that i was placed on a bed in motion as i felt my eyes close.

          I just pray that Iris finds a place in her heart to forgive me. I didn't mean to hurt her. Besides, i've been made to pay dearly for what i did to her. I'm really in pain. I won't be surprise to know that one of my internal organs has been damaged.

         Father, please forgive me. I don't want to die soon. Please just give me one more chance to confess my love to Iris. I prayed to the Lord before becoming unconscious.

       That's it for this chapter. I was really hyped up while writing this chapter😄. How did you feel reading it?
