Story: The Bully's Obsession

"Where is she?" I rasped,unable to keep the desperation out of my voice , my throat dry and scratchy but that was the last thing I cared about.

His gaze settled briefly on mine , silently he walked to the nearby stand to pour water into a glass before making his way back over to me.

My veins thrummed with tension at his silence, it was unbearable.

"Have a drink, you've been unconscious for so long, about six days precisely, the doctors said everything was fine but you still didn't awak...."

I knocked off the glass from his outstretched hand sending it flying against the tiled hospital floor , the sound of its splintering pieces echoing the whole room.

"Cut the crap!I fucking asked you something!" I growled out and ended off in an uncontrollably fit of coughs .

He produced another glass of water in a haste and was by my side the next second , I grudgingly accepted it from him, my patched throat eased as I downed the entire glass and handed it back to him.

"You are still recovering, do you want me to send for the doctor?Dad was worriedsick, he only left a moment ago ...i was also worried .Your life was at risk only because of her....."

"Where is she!" I repeated pinning him with a hardened gaze.

"I think you already know .She's gon...."

"Don't fucking say it!" The sound escaped my throat as I struggled to get off the bed.

I already knew what he was about to say but I couldn't bear to have it confirmed.

His expression was grim as he continued anyway.

"lie still, you are only going to reopen your wounds, she's already left .Never coming back, you should focus on getting well now.."

He spoke in a casual caring tone but I don't want any of that.

Right now I felt like my insides were being pricked by a million needles.

"No!"I choked on a harsh breath.

"I understand that you are hurt but you still have to recover"

"You don't understand, this pain means nothing, I just want her ..she can't leave me I...I.."

She was the only person I craved for...the wrenching pain couldn't even compete with my bullet wound, even if I was shot a thousand times more.

"Just calm down, your condition is only going to get worse if you keep being like this "

"You don't understand , I fucking can't live without he...."

"You'll get over her, she's just one person and she's dangerous to your well being, I told you before that whatever you feel for her is unhealthy, it's ruining you "

"Damn you!" I clenched out, a bead of sweat forming on my forehead, my knuckles turned white from gripping the edge of the bed too tightly.

I wanted to kill somebody, destroy everything..every nerve in my body throbbed with it ...but i was still too weak , I was draining out with everything little effort, I couldn't even straighten myself to my feet.

Lying here so helpless was worse than death itself

Just like that other night she'd left me.

It felt like my insides were covered by a dark smoke that was threatening to choke me up from deep within.

"You don't know shit!unhealthy or not I want her back with me, she's fucking mine!" I breath out panting heavily.

Our heated gaze clashed against each others for a long time , none of us willing to break the stare.
