Regrets (H20Vanoss) DISCONTINUED

Chapter 5 - Lacking Oxygen

Lui POV

He said that I'd never see him again. I remember it clearly. Well, I remember what it felt like. My eyes had a layer of water, everything I saw was blurry. But not only what I felt his words. His words cut me like a knife. Hurting worse than anything could ever do to my body, more than anything done physically.

All I felt was the clenching of my heart, and my unsteady breaths. He was my world that gave me oxygen. But, why wasn't my world offering me any oxygen?

I had only felt that one other time in my life. It took so long to get rid of. I promised myself id never feel that again. That id never make myself go through something like that. Promises aren't forever though.

I stared at him as his lips curved into a smile, and as he leaned down and pecked my friends lips. His smile was fake and his kiss was artificial.

"Lui, something wrong?" I stopped staring and turned to Brian.

"No, I'm okay" My eyes started to water so I put my head down.

"you sure? You know you can talk to us right?" I knew he had the right intentions to want to help, but he knew nothing.

"Ya, I know. I'm not feeling the best. I think im gonna walk over to Evans and check on him" My voice felt weak, my enthusiasm was no where to be seen.

"The party just started. If you're not feeling well, i guess you better head home then." He had an Irish accent like him. But it wasn't as strong.

I just nodded. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him shrug towards Marcel. Before I got outside I tried to refrain from completely breaking down. I was going to check up on Evan, so maybe ill just cry on the way there and recompose before I get to his door. Only god and i knew I couldn't make it all the way.

As I walked I remembered the last time I saw him.

Flashback

I surprised him by showing up at his house. We hadn't talked in a few days and he grew quiet. That wasn't like him and it concerned me. I walked all the way to his house, even through the sketchy part of town. Which was where he lived.

He didn't like it at first, but I knew he was happy to see me. We hung out all day. Whether it was watching movies and cuddling, or playing video games and cuddling. I was so happy to be with him, and I knew the feeling was mutual.

It was only until a bit past 7pm. When people banged on his door. Loudly. I looked at him and he had his head down. I assumed he knew who it was.

"Lui, get in the closet and don't come out" He said sighing, he didn't even look at me. His voice was deep and his accent was heavy. He wasn't trying to be clear with me.

"uh, David whats going on?" I asked getting up from his bed.

"Just do what I said and get in the focken closet" He stood up and looked at me with a face distorted with rage. But upon looking at my features his look softened. He ran up to me and connected our lips. Saying there for a bit, he broke the kiss and backed up.

"Nogla open the fuckin door you pussy. I don't have all night" Someone yelled from outside.

"I love you" He said "I love you so much"

"David wh-" Before I could finish he pushed me into his closet and ran downstairs.

I heard his creaky door open and loud stomping coming through his door. I couldn't make out what was happening so I slowly opened the door and crawled to his bedroom door.

"You fucking pussied out you little bitch. You costed me 2 great men" Someone yelled downstairs.

"Fock you" David spat out. I heard what sounded like hitting and punching. I hoped that was him kicking their asses. But, I don't think he was.

"Okay, that's how you want to play it huh?" the guy said back. "Okay, guys fan out see if you can find anything"

I got scared. I didn't want to get caught so I began to crawl back to the closet. Before I made it I heard a creak in the floorboard. Shit.

"Anyone here Nogla?" he asked.

"No, its just me" My heart broke as I heard his voice. He sounded so defeated.

"Ya sure. Guys go check upstairs. You, stay here"

Shit shit shit shit. This wasn't good.

I got into the closet as fast as I could and closed the door.

I peeked through the door and saw two guys bust in through his bedroom door. They both had pistols.

I sucked in my breath and fear captured my body. I kept looking out the small crack in his door. One of the guys came closer and disappeared from my lane of sight. Which was very limited.

Thinking I was okay I calmed down a bit. Until the door flung open and someone grabbed the top of my hood. Terrified I put my hands up and he went behind me and pushed me.

"Get downstairs" He said, his voice was rough and scratchy.

I went down his stairs and saw David in the living room, blood on his face and bruising already forming on his cheek. All I wanted to do was run up to him and help him. I was smarter than that. I knew I couldn't.

"Nobody else is here eh Nogla?" The guy said and punched him.

"STOP!" I shouted lurching forward to help him, only being stopped by the guy holding me.

"hm, interesting" The guy whispered, a smirk fixed on his face. "Nogla, do you care about this guy?"

Nogla kept his head down without responding.

"i think you do!" While saying this he punched me in my stomach dropping me to the ground, and afterward pulling my hair making me face David.

"Okay! Okay! Please stop!" Nogla begged him to stop. "Tyler, ill do what you want. Just promise me you'll leave him alone."

"So know you wanna join huh?" 'Tyler' said letting go of my hair and slamming my face on the ground. "Who knew all you needed was a bit of persuasion. Anyway, we got what we came here for. Lets head out boys"

Tyler and everyone else left. Leaving me and David in the living room.

"David?" I croaked out. He put his head on the ground. Tears streaming down his face.

"Why..why...you stupid focki-.." He mumbled to himself.

"David, what just happened. Please answer me." I said softly.

"I love you, I made a mistake. Im so so sorry Lui" He raised his head to look at me.

I crawled to him and hugged him. I still didn't understand what was happening, but I decided to ignore it for now.

"I wont ever see you again" He confessed. "Tyler, he will come after you. Im so sorry, im so sorry"

And that's when my world gave up on providing oxygen.
