Express It, Dont Regret It

For the past two weeks, Kiara and Si had gotten extremely close with their relationship. They'd been actually sleeping at each other's places, they cook together, he helps her with my fashion design stuff, and they've been battling the whole bodyguard but ultimately it became solved with the help of Si's sister, Ms.Zhuang since she came from London. Not only that but Lei came back from Taiwan. Kiara was stoked to have him back. She missed him, and so did he so they hung out at multiple restaurants, catching up like the old times.

Everything just felt great, Kiara thought for a good three seconds til her lovable best friend Shancai came up to her, demanding her to take her to her boyfriend, Daoming Si. . Kiara was confused but nonetheless did so.

Wearing mom ripped jeans with a black crop top, with a cream cardigan, the two walked into Si's house quickly greeted by the maids and guards.

Kiara politely smiled back, making out way through the house, til we came to Si's room. She looked to her boyfriend seeing him sit at a chair, with a book in his hand. He didn't bother looking up as Kiara cleared her throat.

"Daoming Si, I'm being serious right now, bring me to Ximen" Shancai ordered.

Si looked up confused,"What, why?"

"Don't worry about it. Bring me to Ximen now" she snapped.

Kiara wondered what the heck was going with Shancai. She wasn't like this, to be so demanding to see Ximen. But she knew it must've been serious if Shancai of all people were asking to see him.

"Si bring Shancai to Ximen. If you don't I'm breaking up with you" Kiara shrugged, crossing her arms.

Si turned to his girlfriend widening his eyes. With a expression that said,"For real?" Kiara only mouthed Please in response. Si sighed standing up,"Alright I'll take you to him."

.....

With the day going deeper into the night, the three were driven to some club that was grand. The neon lights shined all around, with bodies dancing together, alcohol luring the air. Kiara gripped onto Si's arm, with him bringing her closer, when noticing her features turning bitter.

Luckily they arrived to Mei Zou and Ximen who were sitting on a luciours couch. They each had drinks in their hands with girls snuggling at their sides.

"Hey Si, Kiara" Mei Zou smiled at the couple.

Kiara kindly smiled back at him.

"What are you two doing here?" He questioned.

Si and Kiara looked to each other,"Somethings up.." Si only said with Shancai joining Kiaras side.

Shancai stared at Ximen, shaking her head,"Miss, don't be fooled by this wolf in sheep's clothing."

Whoa, what a burn, Kiara felt the temptation to laugh but judging by this atmosphere, it wouldn't be the wisest choice.

"Shancai, don't you have something better to do?" Ximen sighed, looking away from her direction.

"Do you know why Xiaoyou's so down and she's crying everyday? Isn't that because of you? It can't be because of someone else" she stated.

Kiara turned to Ximen in disbelief.

"Tell me. What exactly happened between you?" Shancai crossed her arms.

"Nothing happened. But she has to grow up."

This reminded Kiara of something she wished wouldn't be placed on anyone else. It was like Nick and her all over again when they were just teens. Except Xiaoyou was her and Nick as Ximen. Kiara couldn't imagine this past being repeated again. Not to anyone, not to Shancai's friend.

"Yah Ximen" Kiara snapped, surprising everyone by her tone. Kiara looked around sighing,"This isn't the place to talk. Come outside and don't make me be the one to force you out" She sneered before exiting the club, no longer being able to stand this toxic place.

When she got outside, Ximen, Daoming Si, Shancai, and Mei Zou came as they all stood with each other.

"Xiaoyou is serious about you. She's told me how she feels about you. Aren't you at least kind enough to show respect toward her feelings?" Kiara demanded from him.

"Why do you and Shancai have to be so mad with me? What does Xiaoyou's business have to with you? I get Shancai but not you Kiara" He said.

"Well she's my friend, of course I'm going to care" Shancai instantly said, as Kiara remained silent glaring at Ximen.

"And you" Shancai turned to Mei Zou. She began to lecture him on needing to treasure nice girls.

But it all quickly stopped when Ximen snapped at Shancai pissed,"Haven't you had enough?" He scoffed. Ximen attempted to walk away but Kiara got in the way pushing him back, causing him to stumble a bit.

"Let me tell you something" Kiara growled,"Your right I shouldn't be concerned about this situation. I don't know Xiaoyou that much but I recognize this situation all too well" she glared with her eyes burning with anger," I use to love someone, we flirted and it was fun at first til I realized my feelings for him. I knew I was set up for failure.  Cause all he did was drink, go to parties, flirt with girls in front of me, sleep with them, and I—I couldn't do anything except repeat this cycle of myself going through nights of heartbreak til I had to realize that I was never going to be good enough for him."

Kiara bit her lower lip, giving Ximen a look that almost a mother would give to their child,"Don't do that to Xiaoyou. No girl, or guy deserves it."

Kiara left, walking away from the group hoping her words would get through Ximens difficult mind.
