Chapter 47: 47
"Xen"
"Xen"
"Xenon"
I snapped out of my thoughts and found myself surrounded by my old circle.
"Hey, where did you get lost?"
"I kept on calling you for a while now", someone told me while I didn’t bother to answer.
"I thought you wanted to be with us again so I was so happy and came here to meet you but I can see your body here but your mind is somewhere else", he kept on saying while I took a sip of my drink.
"Xen, I’m asking something", he again said.
"You know what? You are so loud so please keep your mouth shut. It’s annoying whenever you open your mouth and blubber like you know everything when you don’t", my expression was calm.
"Oh so now you wanted to act all pure?" he said while I ignored him.
"How could you be so pure when you used to sleep around? Do you think I forget just how your presence made me lose so many girls who were once dying to sleep with me?"
"Can you please just shut up?" I’m getting annoyed listening to his rubbish as if he is a crow and all I can hear is a caw caw.
"Did you feel hurt when I mentioned your true nature? Did you feel bad? Or a girl is behind all this to make you behave like this?" as he said I clenched the glass I was holding.
"Oh so it is right?" he noticed while his smile grew wider.
"So it’s a girl who made you act all pure as if you never touched a girl and now all you can see is her right?"
If it is the truth then I would like to meet the girl and ask what charm she put to make you act like this. Or should I just steal her like you once did with me?"
My anger reached its limit breaking the glass on my hand and making myself bleed on the spot.
"Don’t you dare touch her", I said while clenching my teeth.
"Oh, so she is your weakness?"
"Didn’t I say not to mention her? You need girls right? Go take whoever you want but leave her alone", I blabbering nonsense while blood kept dripping on the floor.
"No, why would I need girls now when I can have fun with your girl?" As he said I raised my hand hitting him on the spot, people kept on gathering around us even the club owner came to see the fight.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" the owner said.
"DID YOU TWO THINK THIS IS A FISH MARKET AND YOU TWO CAN MAKE ANY RUCKS YOU WANT TO? IF YOU DID THEN IT’S NOT. I MAY MAKE A BLIND EYE ON THIS MATTER AS ITS THE FIRST TIME BUT IF I SEE THIS AGAIN THEN YOU TWO ARE BANNED HERE."
I released his collar and got up from him while he was still on the floor while his collar was crooked and his lips bleeding.
"I will remember this time", he said looking at me.
"First learn how to get up then warn me you piece of shit", I said and walked out of the club.
The entire place is so annoying for me to bear. Why can’t there be a single peaceful atmosphere? Why? At home, it’s unbearable to see James’s face and now there is one more to keep an eye on me and at college.... No, don’t think about her. It will only hurt you.
I kept on walking while I could feel the tipsy sensation kept on growing.
"Gosh, I’m drunk", I mumbled while my feet were not stable.
I still walked until I placed my head on someone’s shoulder who I don’t even know.
"Oh sorry, It’s my mistake", I said and started walking when she stopped me and pushed me inside a van as if I were getting kidnapped at night time. But I don’t know anymore. My brain isn’t processing.
"Are you a kidnapper?" I asked while my eyes kept on closing on their own.
She didn’t reply while my head was still on her shoulder.
"Come out!!!"
After a while, I opened my eyes while I heard her saying to me to come out.
"Why would I?" I asked.
"I don’t have the entire night to entertain you so bring your ass out here", she said and pulled me out.
"Woah you are so fierce", my eyes were literally shining seeing her.
"But why do you look so much like someone I know?" I wondered too. My vision is blurry but her eyes, hair and face look familiar.
"Walk properly or I won’t even help you get up even if you fall inside a drain and smell like a rotten piece of shit", she said and was about to loosen her grip on me when I held her tightly.
"Ah don’t I don’t want to smell like that", I clearly whine like a kid but I can’t help it.
"Hey miss waits, if you walk so fast I will fall then there will be many scratches on my body giving me pain you know?" My eyes are full of tears.
She finally patted my head and brought me inside placing me on the couch placed in the middle of the hall.
"You know you are the first person to bring me home when I’m all helpless on my own", I kept playing with my fingers.
"You were the first to pat my head when I said It will hurt if I fall."
"And it’s the first time someone will accompany me while I’m walking."
"It’s all my first."
"Here drink lemon tea", she handed me ignoring my rubbish.
I took the glass from her hand and pulled her to sit beside me. I again placed my head on her shoulder and said, "Still why do you look so freaking familiar?" Have we met before? Do you study at my college? Have we ever talked? If not, why is your face so familiar as well as your voice?"
"Shut up and drink this," she replied.
"Why are you getting so angry at me?" I asked.
"Angry? Ha, do I have the right to get angry with you?" she asked.
"Right?"
"Yeah right?"
"I don’t know", I replied while looking down.
"So drink this quickly and go to sleep", she said while slowly my eyes started closing on my own.
"I’m so sleepy yy."
"Yeah sleep well", I could hear her saying but I couldn’t say I wanted to talk for some more time.
At morning
I woke up holding my head.
"Ah I’m in so much pain", I whimpered when I found out the place is so freaking unfamiliar.
"Where am I?" I asked when I instantly saw Jennifer aka Ayla’s friend standing at the door saying, "You are at our place so fresh up and come to have breakfast downstairs."
"Did you bring me here last night?" I asked.
"Why would I bring a drunkard who talks about random stuff to any girl he sees? I m not dumb, unlike Ayla. She went to find you but luckily she found a drunk asshole who was thinking of flirting." she said and walked out of the room making me keep myself in a daze.
Ayla?
Did she take me here?
So the memory of mine where I kept on seeing a blurred face was none other than Ayla?
Did she go to find me? I’m not imagining, right? But why would she come when she has lots of people to talk to and have fun unlike me whose place can be taken over by anyone if she wants to?
I slapped myself and got up from bed.
I walked toward the washroom and came out in a few minutes when my feet led me downstairs where my eye fell on Ayla who had a grumpy expression on her face as if I did something wrong. I care less and went.
"Thank you for having me here last night. So I’m leaving now", I said and started walking just like usual when she said, "I have something to talk about ."
I turned.
"What?"
"I need to talk in private."
"Private?"
"Yeah, it’s private."
I don’t know what she wants to talk about but is she talking about breaking the relationship? If it is then I won’t stop her either.
She walked past me and I followed her but I can feel Kylie and Jennifer kept on looking toward me as if they would view me if something happened to Ayla or if she shed a single tear.
I kept on feeling chilled which is no longer in my control.
"Say, what do you want to do?" I asked while looking at the sky.
"Do you still love her?"
Her question caught me off guard.
"What did you say? Could you repeat?" I asked again.
"Do you still love her?"
I became speechless.
