Chapter 8
Violet POV
Ryan didn’t even let me speak and he pounced on Clover beating the hell outta him.
Clover didn’t even try to fight back and he let Ryan beat him. I used my hands to cover my mouth because I was speechless but when I saw how the fight was getting worse I had to intervene.
“Ryan stop” I said trying to pull his away but he was too strong for me and his hits had already made Clover face a mess.
Seeing that no matter what I do he won’t get off, I went to stand in front of Clover spreading my arms so that if he wouldn’t try anything again.
“Why are you defending him Violet. Move out of the way let me beat the hell out of this bastard” Ryan said but I shook my head.
“Noo that’s not right. He didn’t do anything wrong” I said and Ryan sighed.
“Are you okay?” I asked turning to Clover and I touched his bursted lips. It was bleeding and I felt so sorry for him. He had to undergo this because of me.
“Why are you feeling sorry for him?” Ryan asked and I glared at him.
Clover pushed my hands away and he walked outta there.
“I don’t wanna see you near her again or you’ll lose all your teeth for that” Ryan yelled as Clover walked away.
“Why did you do that? You didn’t wait to hear from me before doing that to him. What if he doesn’t wants to talk to me again. What do you expect me to do?” I yelled at Ryan not caring anymore that we were best friends.
I don’t like what he did to Clover and I feared that Clover might decides not to talk to me again. That’ll break me down.
“I told you what you have for him is obsession and not love Violet. He’ll only use you and dump you afterwards. That’s what boys like him does” Ryan said and I chuckled sarcastically.
“I don’t care Ryan and you’re not the boss of my life. I can make him love me and if you’re not ready to help me then stay away from me” I said deadpanned and the air between the both of us became tensed.
“Are you breaking our relationship because of Clover” He said calmly.
Noo that’s not what I am doing. I didn’t even mean what I am saying but I am serious about the fact that I will do all it’ll take to have Clover all to myself.
“That’s not what I mean. I’m asking for a break. We could be best friend but you can tell me who to have feelings for” I said trying to explain my words to him.
“But it doesn’t looks like that to me Violet. You’re ditching your best friend for someone who doesn’t know you” Ryan shook his head.
“You’re totally wrong there. We know each other really well… At least I do about him” I stated.
“Well then having a good relationship. I wish you the best” Ryan said and I wanted to talk but I couldn’t voice out.
Ryan was ending our relationship. We’ve been best friend right from elementary and nothing has made us fight like this.
I watched with teary eyes as Ryan turned his back on me and walked out and that was when I squatted on the floor crying.
I lost my best friend…..
I don’t know how many hours I stayed in that position. I didn’t even know if I have the strength to move out of here but it was already getting late so I stood up.
I didn’t even care about the foodstuffs we came to get. I abandoned everything and walked out of the grocery store.
I flagged down a cab which took me home. When I got to my destination, I paid the cab driver and I got down before going on.
“Why are you coming back this late and where was the things I told you to get” Mum asked but I didn’t have the energy to explain things to her.
“Here’s the money Mum” I gave her back the money she gave me and she stared at me weirdly before collecting it.
“You’ve been behaving totally out of it all day Violet and I thought going out with Ryan would make you cheer up but you came back with the same long face” She yelled after me.
“I’m not eating dinner Mum so don’t wait up for me. Goodnight” I said before going up finally to my room.
As I twisted the door handle and walked in I saw a figure lying on my bed and I gasped before shutting the door.
I walked twice the steps to my bed and I cupped his face. The bruises he got from what Ryan did to him was still untreated.
“You’re back” He said and chuckled.
“I’m sorry that he beat you up because of me” I said guiltily.
“Let me help you treat it” I said and went to my bathroom to get a first aid kit. As soon as I got it I went back to the bedroom and I got on the bed and began helping him to treat the bruises.
He didn’t even resist and he just watched me as I did it and I wanted him to say something even if it was a word.
I wanted to know if he’s angry with me or he already forgave me but then he said what I didn’t expect him to say,
“Will you be my girlfriend” Clover asked and I blinked thrice staring at him speechless.
Maybe I heard wrong but the words came out coherently……
