"Behind it" - Cai Xukun FF (ip+sk ff)

Chapter 14 - A mess

Natalie's POV

"Natalie," someone said my name and I quickly turned around. I didn't know if it was me who was unlucky or just the boy had a really good timing.

"Jisung," I said in utter shock. It was probably the first time in my entire life that I wasn't happy to see him.

I watched his angry face and his chest going up and down slowly as he was taking really deep breaths. His eyes scanned confused Xukun up and down with hatred and spite.

"Jisung...it's not how you think it is...it's just-" I started but Jisung quickly interrupted me.

"Oh please, save it," he chuckled bitterly staring at me with disgust. "I'm actually mad at myself that I hadn't realise what kind of a girl you are."

"What? Jisung...what are you talking about...let me explain it to you it's really not as you think-"

"I've already told you. Save it." Jisung stated and turned around to leave. The tears that had already formed in my eyes were threatening to escape. I rushed after the boy and hold tightly onto his arm preventing him from going away.

"Jisung, listen-"

"Natalie! I don't care, okay?! I really pity you actually...you have a really bad taste if you're sleeping with him...or are there more of them...did you do that with Felix, too?" his words hit me hard but I didn't loosen my grip on him.

At that moment I wasn't sure how I was feeling. I was angry. I was sad. I was disappointed.

"Jisung! I've never cheated on you!" I yelled shaking his arm violently as the tears were falling down my face uncontrollably.

"I doubt that. Let go," he responded harshly and pushed me away hard. My body hit the wall causing a wave of pain to rush through it. I closed my eyes tightly and then opened it slowly to watch the boy leave.

"Natalie!" another voice shouted my name while I was sliding to the floor. The emptiness filled me when Jisung disappeared from my side.

Suddenly a pair of hands caught my shoulders. I looked up to find Xukun's eyes observing me worriedly. I had totally forgot about his presence because of that fight.

"Natalie, you okay?" he asked me pulling me up. I stood straight holding onto his arms looking down.

"No...and it's your fault," I mumbled quietly to myself emotionless.

"What?" Xukun questioned softly and I looked up. A sudden anger took control over me and my grip tightened making the boy glance at me with confusion.

"It's your fault! It's all your fault!" I yelled crying hard. "It's all because of you! If you haven't come today everything would be okay! Hell...if I hadn't met you at all my life would be much easier! I'm probably in this mess because of you!" I was a total mess. My throat hurt from screaming but I hadn't finished yet. "I just wish I had never met you! I-"

Xukun interrupted me by pulling me closer to him. His hands embraced me firmly and I sobbed onto his chest. The boy patted my head as I cried my heart out. His hand suddenly moved as he massaged my back making me slowly relax. He started whispering to my ear something I couldn't understand.

Out of the blue, I felt tired. My limbs went weak and if not for Xukun I would probably ended on the ground. Nonetheless I felt at ease as if someone had deleted the previous events from my memory. All the worries went away. It seemed like I had portaled to another world.

And then I lost consciousness.

Xukun's POV

When Natalie fell asleep I carried her gently to her bed and lied her down on it. Her face was slightly swollen because of her crying. I put the blanket over her and she hugged herself to it making me smile slightly.
