~I'll Fight For You~

Slater's P.O.V.

I couldn't even see straight as my eyes are all puffy and red from crying, it's been 4 days since I found out that Irene is also suffering the same illness which killed my ex, Heather. There were shattered glasses, vase, broken wood, plucked pillows and a messy bed, my bedroom looks like a war zone than a bedroom.

I was devastated, everything is shattered even my heart, Heather had already left and now Irene is the suffering the same fate as Heather... I was the reason why Heather died, I urged her to do the operation so she can live hapilly with me, I promised to do all the things she wants after the operation, but she left... she left me all alone.

I was the one to blame, I was the primary reason why Heather died. It was me who should be punished and not Irene who have done nothing wrong, Irene was innocent and I don't want to see her hurting. If fate wanted to hurt me again then please, just kill me and take all Irene's pain away. I'll do everything just to save her and make her happy.

I was in so much grief that I couldn't think straight, I couldn't bear to see Irene's face with so much pain, I couldn't bear to lose her after losing Heather. I don't want to lose her not because she reminds me of my ex, I don't want to lose her because I love her to much, more than anyone could ever know... I was losing myself, I was losing my mind, I was losing everything....

But everything is coming back to me, I don't want to surrender or lose this fight. The sudden strong fighting spirit appeared within me . Irene is the only one I have, she is the only girl who made me feel this broken, who made me feel worthless and useless. Without her, I don't think I could ever live and move on, she's the only one who made me experience this kind of painful love.

Silent tears were still rolling down on my cheeks as I heard my door open, footsteps were clearly heard as that person slowly walked towards me. I was sitting on the floor with my back facing the bed as I covered my face inbetween my knees and my arms. I look like a crying child, locked in his bedroom but the only difference is that I have bruises and blood oozing out from my knuckles and feet.

I felt the footsteps halt as I knew who this person might possibly be... he sat down on the bed behind me as we stayed still, not wanting to have a conversation. But after a few minute of silence, he decided to talk.

"You have all the reason to get mad, shout at me or even dispise me even as your brother or as Irene's brother. I don't care and I'm not planning to interfee in your business, but this is too much for me to handle. I won't shut my mouth and just let you act like this"

Believe it or not but I trully understand Jared's point, whether he's my brother or Irene's brother, it's hard to go inbetween of us. He doesn't know who he'll support but he knows how hard it also is for Irene and I to be in a painful and chaotic situation like this.

I was also angry, not because Irene kept such a very serious thing from me, but because I failed to recognize all those symptoms, I failed to take care of Irene which means I failed to protect my own life, I failed to protect the person I love...

"I know it must've been really hard for you to accept and fully grasp the fact that Irene is suffering the same fate Heather once did, but I'm telling you that she just wanted you to feel happy even if she knows that she's slowly going to leave you. Heather and Irene might have the same illness but they're a completely different person, you can change Irene's future and make her live"

He's right, they are different from each other which means I can still save Irene. Things might get reversed and I might save Irene from this illness of her, I have to find a way to save her from that illness. I still have time to change the way the story's told, I can change fate...

"Im' doing this not because I want you and Irene to get back together, I just want to tell you that you'll be left with nothing. Heather left you so don't wait for Irene to leave you too"
