Securing You (Little Gathering Series)

Chapter 6 - Hatred

Aries pov

"You guys have the same name." He speak in his cheerful tone as we walk along the sideway.

"What..! Your friend is a man name Aries."

"Of course no. He calls Leo. You both have the zodiac name."

"Gosh.. I thought he call Aries. That would be awkward having a man sharing the same name." I chuckles

"Leo is a good man. He supports me alot when I just accepted in the COF. He even bought me ice cream."

"Eeeuww.. mayhe he's gay. You need to be careful." I slap him lightly and smirk.

He knock my head and I pount. "He's nice. Don't call him that."

"Now I think you the one that gay. Totally, you have a crush on him." I jeer on him but he just laugh it off.

"Silly.. I just admire him. He's young, but smart. He always calm and got good control of himself. He takes good care of us the new trainer and even tell that we are all friend."

I shake my head listen to him long explanation. "You like him."

"Of course I do. He is a good friend." He smiles ear to ear.

I open my eyes after the flash back end. Its been 5 years since its happen. But it feel just like yesterday. He is talking happily about his new boss aka his friend. He respect and admire him alot. But does he feel the same?

Watching me again.

I stare blankly at the massage.

Coward

I smile in horror. Coward..?? Who is hiding exactly..! Who is letting their friend die..!! Who is the real villain..!!
I want to scream so badly that he kill my brother. I want to kill him.. I want him to suffer just the way I did.

Phantom !!!

He's clueless. He'd damn stupid. He's been calling me that name for a year, but he doesn't get it. He doesn't slightly remember it. All my effort its meaningless.

I look at him talking to the waitress and as he take the bowl of ice cream. I smile in despair. He doesn't remember it.

Then I force myself to type a message. Enjoy your ice cream.

Leo
Thanks for the treat but I prefer to see your face.

Thanks for the date. I enjoy it. Like hell I enjoy it.

Leo
You are very welcome.

I'm still glue to my tab watching him sits there staring at the bowl. I am just watching him across the road. If he looks a bit harder, he can found me. Yet, he didn't even try. Just like when he let him die. He didn't even try to save him. Pathetic piece of trash.

I want to kill you. I sent the message.

Leo
Finally spilling your real intention.

I want to kill you badly. I reply.

Leo
Did you poision the ice cream.

I wish I did. But killing you right now would not be fun. I'll kill you slowly. That is not a lie. I really do want to kill him. I want to avenge for my brother.

Leo
I guess your real objective is me. To kill me. But I wonder, what did I offence you did you want to kill me.

I laugh disbelief reading his reply. He doesn't remember it. If you do not remember it.. I will remind you again. Until your damn head recall everything its killing you inside.

Leo
Sound like you really hate me.

I hate you with every single cell in my body. I tell the truth again.

Leo
Fine !! Just come and kill me. You may try but I will catch you before that.

I am very furious reading his challenge I almost raise my gun and shot him. If I keep messaging with him more, I think I'll pick my gun, walk to his spot and kill him instantly. So I shut the app and burry my face on the table. Then the flash back replay again.

"will you be long?" I ask seeing him packing his stuff putting them in the suitcase.

"I'll came back soon. Just wait like a good girl ok." He pats my head.

"Will you be there watching my graduation?"

"I'll try. I can't promise."

"You need to watch it. Its not like I graduat every day." I plead in my sweet voice.

"If I miss it, just take another course and graduat again. You a genius. You can finish a course in the blik of eyes."

"I hate attending class. So no."

"Wait like a good girl ok?" He pats my head again

"What do I get if I wait?"

"You'll get a nice man to be your husband."

"What's the point of being nice. He should be rich." I grin and he grin along with me.

"Then you'll get a nice and rich husband."

"I want a handsome husband." I add making him chuckles.

"He'll be handsome too."

"Oh please. There is no nice plus rich plus handsome man these day. They are not exist."

"They do." He argues.

My eyes shrink and I shrug. "In your dream bro."

"Leo is nice plus rich plus handsome. If I die first, I would like him to take care of you."

I punch him imediately. "Stop talking nonsense. You'll be just fine."

Although my eyes are close, the tears still fall down my cheek. Its still hurt. After 5 years, the memory still hurting me. Why..? Why did that happen to my brother..? I wait like a good girl and still he didn't come back. Stupid.. he miss two of my graduation already.
