THE Girl With The Siren Voice

Chapter 28 : Broken Friendships

"Or he dies."

I thought he was joking, no he must be joking. How can he kill his best friend? He can't kill his best friend right?

I didn't say anything, I stood there like a statue, observing his every move. "Relax Lizzie, I won't do anything to him yet." He stated walking towards me and sat down on the couch where I was sited before.

"Yet?" I asked, my voice shaking.

He raised his head and stared at me, his eyes lingered on my face for a while before he spoke, "I wanted too, but he isn't just my beta, he's my best friend. Someone I look up too. Someone who always had my back." He paused for minute before he continued, "Why did you do it?"

He asked his voice cracking, indicating hurt. I lowered my head, not looking at him, I was too ashamed to do so. "I trusted you, both of you. In all our lives Ren had never done something like this, he had never broken my trust."

"I'm sorry," I apologized tears falling down my cheeks. I knew I didn't deserve his forgiveness, what I've done to him was beyond that. "I'm really sorry."

He didn't say anything, the room went quite for a while, then he rose up and placed the glass of wine on the table as he headed to the door, "Go to sleep, we'll talk tomorrow." By that he left the room.

I rushed to get my phone and dialed Ren's number, it rang but he don't answer. I kept calling without any answer, I wondered if Fred went to kill him. I shook my head removing that thought from my head, he can't do that, he won't do that.

Me : Fred knows. Please call me back.

I sent it to Ren, and waited for a reply. I sat on the couch playing with my fingers, then heard the sound of an incoming text on my phone. I jumped and quickly stared at the screen to see new messenge from Emma.

Emma : I know. Don't worry I won't leave. I won't be able to live without you. Go to bed it's getting late.

Me : Okay take care of yourself.

There was no reply after that, I took it he went to sleep. I sat there on the couch waiting for Fred to return. A piece of me wanted to go and check on Ren, just to see if he was okay. Fred did say he wanted to kill him, what if he'd went to do just that.

I don't know when I fell asleep, the next thing I woked up on a comfortable soft cushion, covered with a soft fabric. I opened my eyes to find myself on Fred's bed. My eyes roamed around the room, searching for him but he wasn't there. I threw the duvet off my body, got off bed and made my way to his office. As I approached the door, I heard noises coming from inside his office, more like yelling, then finally a punch followed by someone dropping to the ground.

I ran to the door, and without knocking I opened the door. For a moment I thought I was lost, that wasn't Fred's office, the one I knew. This one had broken furniture everywhere, including his desk, his laptop was broken on the floor. Chairs thrown here and there, the place was just scattered. Both heads snapped to my direction, Ren sighed shaking his head before walking pass me, but I quickly stopped him as I grabbed onto his arm.

"Oh my God, are you okay?" I asked, staring at his bleeding lip. He raised his eyes and looked into mine, they were filled with anger, but when they landed on mine they softened a little as he raised his hand and caress my cheeks, a small smile plastered on his face.

The silence was broken by the sound of an animastic growl behind Ren, "Ren let go off her!" He roared, causing the walls to shake. I jumped holding onto Ren, as I noticed Fred's hands clenching and unclenching, his eyes black. The atmosphere in the room changed, the room was filled with this creepy atmosphere, the one that makes ones hair rise and their body filled with goosebumps.
