Chapitre 4: A Villain...
"LUKE!!!" I woke up with my heart pumping and adrenaline immediately flowing into my body as I fell down onto the floor because of the shout.
While I was laying on the floor and rubbed my head I looked up and saw a mad expression on James' face. "What the hell man? Why did you do that?" I asked as I pulled myself together and tried to be calm while I was trying to stand up.
"What do you mean? We are not friends anymore after all." My eyes widened as I heard his words. They hit me hard and I felt like my heart was about to break and I could feel my chest tighten just because of those few words.
What did I do wrong? Everything I did was for him and her. I, I just wanted for them to be happy and for me to be by their side, always protecting them. So why? Why did he have to say those harsh and cold words towards me?
I had so much I wanted to ask and say but only a single word came out of my mouth.
"Why?"
I could feel my emotions continue to try to go out of control. I should be able to control them easily but why, why is it so hard to do now? All, all of those times where I worked hard and lied. What were they for but for them?
James looked surprised at first but soon he steeled his expression. Was he regretting his words?. "Why?" He whispered the first word of sentence before he began to shout with anger clear in his eyes. "You know why Luke! You, you actually said to everybody that you were the one who saved Myra when we clearly had an agreement!" A new light in James' eyes appeared as shouted in the middle of the classroom as my eyes widened. But I couldn't identify it.
His eyes were wide. His pupils were small and his mouth was breathing heavily as he waited for my answer. But I was already too preoccupied in my own thoughts to think about it.
I could feel my mouth shake uncontrollably as I heard his words. What happened? I, I did not spread anything at all. Who could it be? Could it be sis? No, she would not do that kind of thing. Right? Yeah. Although we are only step siblings we are still siblings and I wouldn't do that type of thing towards her.
"What do you mean James? I didn't do anything like that at all. I would never do anything like that at all." I began to back up while putting my hands up in a protective manner while an awkward smile appeared on my face for some reason.
"What!? You recorded our conversation and posted it on the school's forum so everybody could see! Why are you lying Luke!?" He shouted and my eyes widened even more as I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"James, that definitely wasn't me. I, I would never try to sabotage you and Myra's relationship!" I put my hand on my chest and shouted desperately while hoping for someone to save me, to help me. While the boys' eyes were cold I could see some kind of excitement in the girls' eyes.
The boys whispered, "What a bad friend." "Yeah. He is not even worthy to be their friend." "How did he even become their friend?" "I heard they had been friends since kindergarten." "Really? Doesn't that just make it worse?"
And the girls whispered, "Eh!? He, he did all of that just to have Myra for himself!? How romantic..." "But, but isn't it kind of bad that he spread that he was the one who saved Myra when he had an agreement?" "OF COURSE NOT! He, he is the perfect bad boy that would do anything for the one who he loves..." "Kyaa! So hot!" "Fuu, two men, fuu, getting at it, hehehe."
As voices continued to be heard throughout the room I began trying to find a way to escape but many students of the other classes had already gathered at the two doors of the classroom. The only other way is...
I looked behind me and saw an open window. I turned to look at James and said, "Sorry James, I hope this will prove my sincerity." I smiled weakly at him with gentle but sad eyes.
I turned around and ran as fast as I could towards the window. And then I jumped. I saw myself coming closer and closer towards the ground and covered my face with my arms and pulled myself into a ball as I landed on the hard and stony path that led to the main entrace of the school.
I was hurt everywhere on my body as I was laying on the stony path while breathing heavily. Then I looked up towards the window where James stood. I waved towards him while grinning and saw disbelief all over his face as he looked down towards me. Then it quickly turned to anger as he clenched his teeth.
But before he could shout anything I heard a crying voice right beside me. "Dummy!" I saw a purple haired girl there who had bandages on her arms, head, and legs as she was kneeling right beside me.
I patted Myra's head as I said, "Don't worry about it Myra. I just had to show my sincerity to James." I could teares threaten to flow out of my eyes as I looked at Myra.
I slowly raised my body which made it hurt even more. The worry in Myra's eyes became increasingly bigger. She wanted to say something but nothing came out of her mouth. I smiled at her and continued getting up as tears were already about to flow out.
But suddenly I heard James shouting, "Damn you Luke! You have everything I never had! Why don't you just disappear! Because even back then you...!!!" He didn't finish his sentence as his glare became even fiercer than ever. Especially when his eyes met Myra's.
I sighed while the tight feeling in my chest became bigger. "James, we were never rivals to begin with. Don't you see, I just wanted to be your friend all this time. So can't you please stop this and then everything can go back to how it used to be..." I said as I stared at him and tried to get up but I fell down onto my knee as soon as I tried causing pity to appear in the girls' eyes.
But I also saw worry in his eyes for a second before anger became evident in his gaze again. He walked closer and closer but before he could take single step further Myra was already in front of me and stood steadily while a fierce glare was evident in her eyes.
"Don't you take a single step further! I promise you, you will regret if you hurt Luke again." Myra said darkly as she tried to make herself look even fiercer than before.
James just stared for a second before he suddenly began to laugh hysterically. "Hahahaha! Even you are turning you back on me!? Hahahahaha!" His eyes suddenly became devoid of emotion and he became completely silent. He walked closer while not minding the gazes of everyone who were watching which made Myra tremble more and more for each step he took.
"S,stop. Please, please stop James." She said as she tried to take a step back while fear now filled her eyes to the brim but then her gaze landed on me. Her gaze became fierce again. But instead of taking a step backward she actually took a step forward while clenching her teeth. She then shouted with an anger that me and James had never seen before, "FINE! You want to do this!? Then I will give you my full power!"
She got into a fighting stance and trembled uncontrollably while fear continued to rise in her green eyes. She tried to calm down but no matter what she did she just stood there with clenched teeth.
How could I make Myra stand before me and protect me? This isn't right. I, I need to be brave this time. This time I will not fail everyone like in the past. This time I will protect Myra and James even if I have to sacrifice myself.
I took a deep breath first before I began to laugh crazily and said, "HAHAHAHAHA! Yeah James, I did it! So what!??" I looked at him with a smile so wide that it would make chills appear in even mass murderers spines if they saw it.
I got up with some effort and took a single unsteady step forward. "What are you going to do about it!? Are you going to punch me!? Come on, do it then!" As I got closer to James and said these words I could feel something inside of me break.
"Hahaha! What are you going to do now James!? I don't care even if you punch me!" I need to be the bad guy. I, I need to be the one who is at fault and be the one to be hurt because... they will get hurt if I don't. Therefore I will make an act. Yeah, this is just me acting. Hahaha.
Suddenly I felt something big and hard hit my cheek and I fell on the ground and stopped laughing. I looked at everyone with no emotion whatsoever in my eyes. "Bye James." Then I got up and simply walked away.
I could feel so much pain. But it didn't come from all the scratches on my body. It, it was from the left side of my chest. I put my hand on it and could feel and uncontrollable heartbeat. And this time... I cried again.
