Real Love

Chapter 47- Rejection

Maybe love is not just about being with the person you love and owning him. Maybe it is about letting him go to be with the person he truly loves.

Sophia's POV

I was startled by the shouting and annoying voice— coming downstairs. Still unconscious while scanning the room, the last thing I remember, Vince was carrying me then everything turns black. I still remember my sobs as my hands wrap on his neck. I shook my head.

I force my body to slipped out of the bed as the shouting became aggressive. I slowly opened the door when I heard Threat's voice— everything flashes back. From the photo of Threat with Sam, kissing and Amara's last words.

My heart starts to swell as I heard his desperate voice while arguing with Kyle. Then everything was a mess! Everyone start to fight! My eyes widen in shock.

"Fuck! It's him who's acting lunatic, Luke. I did try to find Sophia.. Don't get me wrong, you're on Threat's side isn't it?"

"I'm not! What I'm saying is, we don't actually know what happened." it's Luke.

"He's blaming me! But we know for the fact, that what happened to Sophie, was Threat's fault!" Though I can't see them, I know that it was Kyle's voice.

I don't want them to fight and blame each other. I won't let them ruin their friendship because of my damn, jealousy! I can't afford to look at them being wreck because of my stupidity. I have to stop them, and decide— so I drag myself. I stopped on second staircase when I saw them— with narrowing eyes. Then I saw Threat, the side of his mouth slightly bleed. My breath suddenly hitched.

"T-Threat?" My voice crack.

His eyes landed on me, his expression remains blank and unreadable. Then his face soften while looking at me intensely. He looks dead tired— his hair kinda messy but his gorgeous eyes remains.

"Sophie.." Threat muttered. Then he took a one step.

"Don't ever try to come near her again!" Vince shouted. My eyes widen and I suddenly cringed. It was the first time I saw Vince this mad.

"Vince, let them solve their problems. Let them talk." Luke stated. Kyle didn't dare to intrude, he just remain silent.

"Bu-"

"Luke is right, Vince. I don't want to tug you all in a fight. It's me and Threat's problem, we'll talk." I muttered and sigh. I felt relieve as everyone nod, so is Vince. I look away avoiding Threat's intense look— I spun around heading to the room I came with Threat following behind.

I took a deep breath as I settled down on the bed. No one dares to talk— he's only standing few meter away from me, frozen on his spot. I really can't accept his eyes. The only thing visible was our sigh and breathing even my heart which pounding faster. I have to do this, I have to know everything.

My eyes flicker to my hands. "Is it true? Your parents were here, and yet you chose to lie?" I stated coldly.

I don't care what might happen. I just want this straight to the point, because I can't bear this pain anymore, I really can't. It felt like something was shooting bullets inside my heart, then it start swelling.

"Sophie—"

"Don't call me that, Threat! Just Answer my question! Is it hard for you to do that, Huh? It was only a yes or no!" Now I'm mad. I can't cry for I ran out of tears because of crying. But no one could ever remove the pain buried deeply in my heart.
