You Were Always The One

Guilty.

Author's POV

He turned towards the food counter to see if his order was ready when he felt a harsh jerk on his shoulder. He was forced to turn around and before he could see who was the one to pull him like that, he met with a brutal punch right on his nose making his nose bleed and he lost his balance. He fell down and as he put his hand on his nose he was pulled up back again and he felt yet another punch on the nose and he could feel blood rushing out of his nose this time.

"You have no fucking right to mess with her!"

Karan was stunned and as he saw the person coming for another punch someone held his hand. It was Ryan.

Sid pulled Ryan back and started punching him without a pause and before Karan could understand what was going on, he felt his senses losing and fell down.

Sid didn't stop punching till Ryan's Lips threw blood out. Ryan didn't try to defend himself and took in Sid's wrath.

"Fucking bastard! You always have to fuck with everyone I care for don't you? Fucking loser! Do you think you can prove that you are not a coward by beating a guy? Let me fucking show you how to beat someone. I'll fucking make sure you're dead. Bastard! You fucking never deserved Disha and neither do I, but you couldn't let that stop it from getting what you want right? No it isn't just you, It's me too! I'm a fucking coward who didn't have the ass to fucking kill you that day! It was me, it was always me! You knew everything and yet you messed with her! You don't even deserve her presence! And instead of making things fucking right, you have the audacity to beat my friend ! How can you be such a loser? Each and every fucking day when I look at Disha, I want to apologize to her but then she smiles and I think she shouldn't even remember you ever again!" Sid yelled as he continued punching him in the eye. Even he lost count of how many punches he delivered.

"YOU FUCKING MADE HER CRY!" yelled Sid as he felt Ryan's complete surrender and finally let go of his collar.

Ryan didn't say anything and wiped the blood from his lips and nose. His face was completely busted. He looked at Karan and the crowd that gathered around them, he got up and slowly walked out of the canteen. Just as he left the door, he saw Disha, she stopped right in front of him and Ryan stared at her. She could see tears starting to pool in his eyes.

'Won't you ask me what happened Disha? This one last time? Won't you wipe my tears or tell me I look good? Am I that bad? I don't even deserve your presence do I? Aren't you worried that I wouldn't be able to live on my own? Won't you mess my hair up one last time? It kills me to see you happy without me. Sid also doesn't want to do anything with me, does he? You guys don't want me anymore do you? What should I do Disha? You always told me what to do! Everything will be okay right? Say something Disha. Won't you?' Ryan thought staring at her.

"Excuse me." Disha said and went inside the canteen. Ryan turned around to see her as she ran towards Karan who was with Sid, sitting on the table. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and went straight to the restroom.

"Karan what happened? Are you okay?" exclaimed Disha running towards him.

The blood didn't stop flowing and hence Sid concluded it was broken.

"Give the fucking ice! Don't you'll see what has happened here?" Sid shouted to the canteen owner.

Sid placed the ice bag on Karan's nose and said, "Keep it like that."

Karan was still in shock with what just happened. Disha held Karan's hand and started wiping the blood.

"Let's go to the nurse room." She said pulling Karan up.

"It would stop I'm sure." Karan said getting up. His hands were shaking and both Sid and Disha could feel that. They went to the nurse room where the nurse wrote each of their names, gave Karan a new bag of ice, asked Sid what was going on (as he was well known) and laid Karan down on the bed. Sid and Disha sat beside him.

"Where is the other guy Siddharth?" the nursed interrogated.

"Must me somewhere, I don't know. He left soon after Karan fell down." Sid replied unbothered by Ryan's wound.

"Why were you mad at me?" Karan asked looking at Sid.

"I'll tell you later." He replied.

"Why did he do this? Is he nuts? What the fuck!?" Karan said sitting up.

"I'll tell you everything later."Sid said and got up to leave.

"Karan, Are you okay?" asked Disha.

"Yeah...You should go the class." He replied.

"Okay, take care." Disha said and left.

Ryan felt sick and decided he would go back home. He washed his face and saw that his left eye has turned blue and his lips were swollen. A bruise was forming on his left jaw as well.

As he entered the school office, he went straight to the school administrator.

"I want a sick leave." He said.

"Ryan! I'll give you the sick leave but first go to principal's office. He called for you."

"Ok then." He replied and went to the Principal's chamber and saw Sid and Karan already standing there.

"Come inside." The principal ordered.

They went inside and all of them wished good morning to him.

"So? All the heroes are assembled right?" he said.

They didn't reply and kept their heads down.

"What is school?" he asked getting up and leaning his hands on his table.

They didn't reply to it as well.

"Wow so you guys don't even know what a school is? Well looks like you think it's a brutal fighting ring right?"

"Sorry sir." Karan spoke up.

"You are a new kid right?" he asked.

"Yes."

"So why are you getting involved with these two jerks? Don't stay with them, they both fight and then blame it on others."

"He didn't do anything." Sid spoke up.

"Stay quiet or I'll slap you!" he yelled looking at both Sid and Ryan.

They stood still as the principal sat down and started typing something on his laptop.

"What is your name new kid?"

"Karan Singhania."

He continued typing and printed out three letters.

"Karan, you are suspended for three days. Ryan and Siddharth stay at home for three weeks. Now leave." He said and all three of them picked up their letters and left.

"Who is this Ryan? What is this matter with Disha?" Karan spoke after they left the office. Sid and Karan turned to go to their class while Ryan turned back towards the office for the sick leave.
