Chapter 76 - He's Sick

I got panicked when I received a message that he doesn't want to go hospital where he's extremely burning in fever. That prick.

When I arrived his apartment, I immediately went inside the elevator, his floor is on the 6th and I want to curse for waiting so goddamn long.

The elevator opened and I rushed to find his unit. I rolled my eyes when I got confused, I should't panicked. He deserves to die. Geez.. He's not thinking right!

I push the button of his door and a voice suddenly spoke, I immediately recognize Vin's voice so I told him that it's me.

He opened the door and a loud laugh filled my ears so I immediately roamed around to find Noah. The whole apartment is really massive and I'm always amazed to how it looked..

My eyes turn to the person on the sofa who's now laughing while watching a cartoons on the television. My brow arched when he didn't noticed my presence.

Did he pretend that he didn't see me or what?

And what the hell? He seemed okay! Is that a freakin' reaction of a fucking sick?

I turn my eyes at Vin and gave him a glare. He just shrugged and went beside.

"He suddenly become like that. He's like a psycho and I'm worried," He whispered. I can see that he's really concern of his brother.

I stared at Noah who's still laughing but now that I understand Vin's said, I have this little doubt that he's not really okay..

"Does he still have a fever?" I asked and glanced back at Noah.

"Yeah. It's very high, but he just insist that he's okay--fuck! I want to strangle him to death!" He looked angry.

I can't hide my glare at him. He wants to murder him, huh?

He cleared his throat but Noah didn't glanced at him. It's like he's just the only specie that's here.

I rolled my eyes. Okay, just for tonight I would forget whatever gap that's going on between us. I must take care of him first and let his fever go down.

"Bro.." Vin calls, but Noah still ignored him.

I got annoyed so I cleared my throat and walked behind him. I tapped his back and his shoulder immediately moved.

"Noah," I called. He quickly turned to me with his eyes widened.

I know I shouldn't be doing this, I'm not as bad as he thinks. I have a conscience which I can never fight especially for him.

Duh!

"R-raine.." He muttered, surprised was still all over his face.

I just ignored his reaction and went to the bathroom. I searched for e basin and a towel. I pour some warm water on the basin and went to the living room.

He needs to get treated first. I asked Vin to buy some medicine so we left alone in this apartment.

I felt a little awkward as the whole room stayed silent. None of us are creating any noise. He's still silent and I can feel his stares at me.

I don't wanna look at him so I just focused on the damp towel that I supposed to put on his forehead. There's nothing wrong on doing this. I'm just doing a good deed of a person who's concerned of others.

"L-let me put this on you f-forehead, we need to low down your f-fever.." Damn it! Why am I stuttering!

My hand shakes while holding the damp towel so I closed my eyes in irritation. Why am I feeling this now!

He's still quiet and I don't have any plan to talk to him too. When I get to finished this, I would immediately go home. Duh? Who would love to stayed awkward like this?

My heart is racing so very fast when I lift my hand to reached his forehead. But before I could reached it, he immediately catch my wrist. My eyes suddenly widened and I can't help but to met his flaring gaze.

He took the towel away from me and put it back on the basin. My eyes turn to it and my brows furrowed as I turn my eyes at his face. Yeah, face. Not on his eyes..

"What are you doing?" I raised my voice a little.

I showed that I'm really annoyed to his sudden action. I was startled of course!

His face darkened even more. I purposely looked away now, because I can't stay any longer fighting for his deep stares.

"D-don't misunderstand this..I-i'm just c-concerned.." I stuttered again! Seriously, Raine?

He didn't respond again. Damn. I looked like a ghost here! I suddenly want to go home now. I feel like it's really a mistake coming here now.

He tightened his gripped on my wrist, feeling it like he doesn't want me to go.

I bit my lower lip as I feel awkward by it.

"Why are doing this to me?" He asked in emotional way. I was taken aback at his question that I didn't immediately processed it.

"Why do I suddenly get this cold treatment from you, Raine? Why are you avoiding me? What did I do so wrong?" He asked as if he's holding it for a long time.

I didn't speak. Honestly, I didn't want to answer it. If he's not numb, he would try to find out what's the problem is.. I'm not the type of person who would tell my problems first and didn't want him to know too since he's a jerk.

I've been played many times..

My heart sank because of that and even if I felt that, I prevent myself from breaking down. I wish I was numb.

"Now, tell me. Tell me, what's the problem, baby.." He cupped my chin and turn it to his face.

I looked away and still avoiding his gaze. I'm not going to look at him. I can't.

"Please, look at me.." He begged.

I closed my eyes and feel his touch on my chin. His hand is burning hot too. But it looked like it doesn't affect him. He seemed okay, but he's like a numb person who doesn't feel any pain. I'm worried but it was covering the pain that I'm feeling right now. I didn't wanna assumed things that may hurt me.

Well, he's really stupid and numb.

I shook my head and removed his hand on my chin. Our faces is so near that it almost made me lose my breath for awhile.

I distance myself a little and turn my eyes at the pillow beside him. Damn. Why is this so hard? It feels terrible and I wanna go home.

"I don't know how to you suddenly become like that. I swear baby, I'm near at my own grave now.

I don't know what to do anymore.." His eyes are red now.

I almost rolled my eyes at his exaggeration. He's near at his own grave, huh?

I wished that Vin would be here soon. I didn't want to talk to Noah and if he continues to be like that, I would definitely burst out in anger and hurt him with my unfiltered mouth.

When he started to looked at me before. I avoided the things that may make him lose his interest on me and one of that is my unfiltered mouth. I was straight forward person but I've tried to lessened it for him.

I've tried everything but I think everything isn't enough..

I stopped myself from crying but my body betrayed me. I can't help but to cry and whimper. Damn this body!

Noah seemed uneasy and worried as he looked at me. I swear, I looked pathetic now. Shit!

I saw him calling someone on his phone, but I just ignored it and continues to cry. Damn it really!

"Hey, don't come back before I call you again. Just damn follow my order!" He shouts and I think that's Vin on the other line.

I breathe out when he did that. Thank God he's aware now. I don't want others to witnessed my miserable moment with this bastard.

"Fuck! Please don't cry baby--oh fuck stop crying," He muttered softly like he's trying to be careful for me.

He used his hand to wiped my tears. My fucking tears are still competing to fall down and I wanna curse for being a weak bitch now.

I can't take this anymore.. It really hurts and I want to make him know how that night made me feel miserable in my daily life.

To hell with everything! To hell with Dana!

"Baby--"

"Did you kissed?" I cut him. I stared at him with my wet face. I don't care if I looked disgusting and pathetic bitch now. I just wanna know if they kissed.

His eyes widened and that way, I felt hurt even more.. Fuck!

"Did you--"

"Yes," I cut him again. "So answer me. D-did you..k-kissed?"

I bit my lip as I felt like I was going to cry again. Damn this eyes! I feel humiliated now!

He stared at me and I don't get what his eyes are showing now. He immediately shook his head and bit lower his lip.

Liar!

I hate how he still manage to lie in front of my face now. How pathetic, Noah.

"How can I kiss a girl that I didn't even love?" He muttered that made me looked up to face him.

What's the meaning of his words? My heart beats really fast as I stared at his serious face. I am damn confused now. How can he lie to my face like this? 

He doesn't love her?

No. Noah's just lying.. No..
