Through The Lens of ❤️ [Completed]

Net

I couldn't help but smile to myself, watching how happy Jes had gotten over me calling his name.

I cut the cake for him, placing it on a plate, and was bringing it over to him. He had moved to the TV room, chatting with Bible over something. I was moving towards him when suddenly, the plate of cake went flying! I was stunned, and before I could react, someone had slapped me hard across my face. The suddenness of the action and impact sent me flying straight towards the couch!

"Net!"

I looked up to see Jes and Bible running towards me. I turned towards the person who had slapped me, and I realized it was Kyunn! I stood up slowly. Jes lost his shit when he realized it was Kyunn but before he could even take a step towards her, Teresa had stepped forward to slap her! Oh my God! It was becoming like a cat fight! Both girls started fighting and Jes's dad lost his shit, screaming at both girls!

The silence that fell over everyone in that room was deafening. Everyone was stunned, unable to move or speak a word. Jes's dad looked at Kyunn.

"What are you doing here? My son and you had ended things years ago. Why are you here and why are you doing this?! This is so unbecoming of you Kyunn!"

Kyunn fell silent. Teresa was hopping mad and almost lunged at her again and I stepped in to pull her away! Teresa turned to see me and realized I was bleeding from the mouth. She was about to wipe off the blood when Jes came up and pulled me towards him instead. He turned me towards him. He placed his fingers on my chin, lightly lifting my face up to his. He took a piece of tissue and dabbed at the blood.

It was like as if no one else existed in that room at that moment.

"Are you ok?"

I nodded, careful not to speak as I think my voice would just break. I was behaving like an absolute girl around him and had to control myself.

Jes cleaned my blood away and told Bible to take me aside. I was confused. Just as I was about to walk towards Bible, shit it hit me! This fellow would probably hit Kyunn, having had his patience tested! I quickly turned and grabbed his hand, pulling him away! Shit! Both siblings were equally as bad when they were mad!

"Pa. Ask her to leave now. Before I call the cops on her for what she did. Ask her to LEAVE NOW!"

Kyunn was startled and jumped slightly, seeing the brunt of Jes's anger for the first time. She turned and left, without any word but the mood was definitely gone. But nobody moved either. Finally I heard Jes's mom ask everyone to go eat instead and to let us be. Everyone agreed and disappeared. Jes's dad just patted my shoulder; checking if I was OK before he walked to the kitchen too.

Teresa was also stunned from seeing Jes angry and she went off quietly to get the first aid box for me.

I looked over at Jes who had gone to stand facing the couch and tv instead. I placed my hand on him and thats when I heard the soft sobs.

"I have known her for over 10 years now and this is the first time I have ever lost my temper at her. Why did she do that to you? It made me so angry when I realized she had hurt you. I didn't even realize I was capable of being that angry but seeing you hurt.."

I squeezed his shoulder gently and turned him around.

"Jes.. look at me. I'm ok. I promise. It's a small cut but I'm ok. I promise."

Jes finally looked at my face. He caressed my face lightly. I just looked at him; realizing that I wanted to comfort him as much as I could. He was hurting. And all I wanted to do was soothe him. I leaned in to hug Jes tightly, holding him firmly, reassuring him in a soft tone that I was absolutely ok. He held onto me back, not saying a word.

We finally pulled away about a minute later, our faces red but both of us clearly not calling the other out on it. I looked at Jes. He was still sobbing softly.

"I'm ok. I promise. Look at me. It's all OK. Teresa has gone to get the first aid. Once I put on a plaster, I be good as new."

"It's not that. I....it hurt me badly seeing you get hurt. My heart is aching Net and I...you don't deserve it.. don't deserve all this for just being my friend."

I looked at Jes for a full minute.

"Are we really behaving like friends, Jes?"
