Chapter 15: The Diamond

Y/N's POV

"Can you stay away from him?"

Those are the words that comes out of his mouth.

"Him? Who's 'him'?"

I know what he already meant but I want to make things clear.

"You know who I already mean Y/N, don't play dumb." He rolls his eyes. I don't like where this is going. Lucas already knows that I like Marco, why would he want me to stay away from him? This is really making me furious.

"What, why?" I raise the tone of my voice. I show him that I wasn't happy of what I'm hearing. "He's bad for you, Y/N. He's going to break your heart, I just know it." He reasons.

Is he serious right now?

"I don't understand you. One minute you were really supportive about it and the next time around you're telling me horrible things about him," I furrow my eyebrows while crossing my arms. I know that he cares for me like everyone else but, he was really getting it out of hand. I mean, think about it, he knew that I really like him and he's just going to tell me those things? How disappointing.

"Lucas, you're my bestest friend ever. I know that you care for me and all those stuff but please, be happy for me. You shouldn't say those things unless you're a mutant that sees the future." I soften the mood. I calm down myself and wait for Lucas's response.

"Fine. But if things get bad with him, I'm not going to stop myself from saying 'I told you so'." It seems like he was still not satisfied with me believing him. "I'm counting on that, if it ever happens." I bitterly answer. I guess by the tone of my voice, it made him believe that I was starting the argument all over again.

"Why can't you just believe in me?" He whispers angrily.

"Because I believe it's not possible."

I hold my necklace to calm me down.

"He's gonna hurt you." He states.

"He won't." I deny.

"He's the worst person you'll ever meet."

"He's not."

"He's going to know about your dark past, do you think he'll ever accept that?"

What...

How... can he say that? It seems like, it was so easy for him to tell me that. He knows how that nightmare had scarred me for life. I thought he was my friend-that he understood me.

Flashbacks and memories scatter through my brain about everything I never want to remember ever again. This night, this one night, it was going so well. I thought it was going to be all gone. And now, it's all back.

I stare mindlessly at the table. At the corner of my eye, I can see Lucas's face full of guilt. He shouldn't have said that.

I feel his hand on my shoulder, "Y-Y/N, I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to--"

"Save it. You've crossed the line and I can't even," A tear slips my eye. I soothingly hold my necklace while I excuse myself.

"Thank you, Lucas G. Silverwood for ruining my one night." I whisper to his ear while I leave the room.

I'm so disappointed with him, why would he say that? I need a getaway spot to process things out and most of all to calm down. I just feel so... betrayed by him like, is he being selfish? Is he jealous? Why would he even be jealous? Sure, he acts flirtatiously around me but, I thought it was a joke?
