That's What I Thought | s.m

Chapter Seventeen

Shawn Mendes.
This was all my fault. why did i even bring here here in the first place? why did i fool myself into thinking i wouldn't fall for her?

Holding her hand at the side of the hospital bed, i kissed it softly, pressing our intertwined hands to my forehead.

"Hey man, you alright?" Brian asked, placing a hand on my shoulder as i looked up at him

Shaking my head i moved my gaze back to Melody. As the hospital bed consumed her figure, i reminded myself of her kisses and how soft they were, how much passion was exchanged between them. the moment i realized i'd fallen in love with her. The moment i broke her.

"This wasn't your fault, it was Andrews, he's the one that opened her wounds again, not you." he stated, bringing a chair over so he was beside me

"she wouldn't have gotten the damn wounds if i hadn't of brought her here." bowing my head in shame, i sighed, i couldn't believe i was about to lose another person i cared for, another person that cared for me.

"who stabbed her in the first place?!" i snapped

Brian stayed silent. His eyes shifted from me to the ground.

"who the fuck was it Brian? was it you?" i'd removed my hand from Melody's and tensed them into fists, grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling him towards me

"Oh God no, it wasn't me," holding his hands up in surrender her shook his head to show he was innocent

"then who did it?!" i raised my voice louder, implying i wasn't playing nice

"Ian." he muttered.

I let him go and lowered my hands. Ian was my best friend, he always had been. we'd always look out for one another and tell each other everything. He knew all about the situation with Melody, about our kisses, how i felt, everything. He was the one that came up with the idea in the first place. he told me it would help her to trust me, and the idiot i am agreed. God how stupid can i get?! I can't believe he did this. I told him not to. Ill make him pay for this. Nobody, and i mean nobody, double crosses me, friend or foe, nobody.

I stood up angrily, my fists clenched in anger, and my jaw tensed. "Take care of her and phone me if she wakes up." i instructed Brian

"Man what are you doing?"

"that's none of your concern, now just do what i fucking asked." i spat, turning on my heels and walking out of the room. If I was going to get him back, i had to pretend i didn't know it was him, so i phoned him.

"What?" Ian snapped, answering, obviously not looking at the caller ID

"Excuse me?" i was taken aback, if this was how he answered the phone daily, to my men, he had another thing coming

"B-Boss, sorry, i didn't know it was you.." he trailed off

"Yeah, no shit," i snapped back, anger exploring every inch of my body, i was prepared to kill my best friend for hurting the girl that i think i'm in love with? The daughter of the two people who killed my parents, leaving me and my sister orphans. But i loved her, i was certain i did, wasn't i?

"Boss?" Ian's voice snapped me back to reality

"What?" i spat

"I asked you what you phoned me for?"

"Oh, yeah, where are you?"
