Raven's P.O.V.
"WHAT THE HECK YOU DID TO RYAN ?"
I looked at Alice with my teary eyes.
She pulled my hair more making me whimper in pain.
I want to tell her that I didn't do anything but my voice get stuck in my throat.
I am scared.
It feels like I am going to slip in my little space.
'No Rav, control yourself. You can't slip here among strangers'
I look around only to see I am surrounded by those 2 unfamiliar boys and my roommates i.e. Alice, Ella and Grace.
I looked at Ryan only to see Ryder is hugging him and softly rubbing his back. I saw they pulled away from the hug and talk about something.
Ryder caught me staring at them with my teary eyes. And I swear to my Chocolate cookies that I saw his eyes softened.
I again winced in pain when Grace hold my chin digging her nails in. She threw my glasses too.
"She will not tell like this. Let's give her a punishment"
I shut my eyes tightly feeling pain.
"Leave her" a very cold voice of Ryder is heard.
They all looked at him in disbelief.
"But Ryder, she did something to Ry-"
"Do what I told" He said coldly cutting Alice in between.
She sighed and glared at me and leave my hair from her grip.
"Ryder-" Grace stopped seeing Ryder's glare at her.
She pushed my chin harshly.
Ryder supported Ryan and left from there followed by these two unfamiliar guys.
Ella turned towards me and spat "Stay away from us" and left from there, leaving me alone there.
I wiped my tears, picked my glasses and fixed myself.
My eyes caught the attention of that wallet again.
I picked it up and kept it with me.
I am not going to attend any lecture now.
I headed towards my dorm.
Whole way my mind is swirling with two questions.
Why Ryan has panic attack ?
Is this by any chance related to the bruise that I saw on Ryan's wrist ??
Ryan's P.O.V.
[ After class ends and in couple corridor ]
I sat on the stairs, sighed frustratedly.
Life is hell.
What we even did to face all these ?
Yesterday, that bastard fucking beat Ryder with Hot iron rod. And I can't do anything.
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
I am useless.
I can't even protect my own brother.
Yesterday...
💭 Flashback 💭
Author's P.O.V.
Ryan is doing his work in his laptop while Ryder is playing on phone.
Suddenly, Roman came in their room stumbling.
In an instinct they both stood up in order to protect each other.
"Ooo That much respect, I am impressed" He slurred.
They knew he was drunk.
"Oh Sons, we meet after such a longgg timeeee" He slurred stumbling.
"Come on boys give me a hug. Come, Come" He told them spreading his arms.
Ryan rolled his eyes while Ryder just coldly looked at him.
"I. Told. You. Come. And. Give. Me. A. Hug. NOW" He said sternly when he saw they didn't move from their spots.
Before Ryder could pass any comment and get them in trouble, Ryan glared at him made him scoffed.
Ryan go towards Roman to give him a hug.
Seeing this Roman smiled sickly.
"Come to your daddy, Son" He smiled and pulled Ryan in hug, rather more hardly, but this doesn't effect Ryan at all.
Ryder just stood there giving cold eye.
But his eyes widened when he saw Roman take out a knife from his pocket and going to stab Ryan from back and he definitely knew that Ryan sensed something too but ignored it.
Before Roman could do anything, Ryder sprinted towards them and hold his hands tightly and pulled Ryan back from Roman's hold.
Ryder's eyes are burning in fury. He is furious.
Before Ryan could stop him, Ryder punched Roman on his face, and heard a cracking sound but still not satisfied and again punched him hard.
Roman hold his jaws and stumbled back. Ryder kicked him on his stomach making him groan in pain.
Roman's bodyguard rushed towards Ryder in order to hold him but before they could even touch him, Ryan punched one of them and kicked other one.
Ryan punched and punched and punched, but suddenly got hold by other two pairs of hands. Here, Ryder also got hold by other two bodyguards.
Roman coughed and stand up with the help of his another bodyguard.
"You Motherfuckers, now see WHAT I WILL DO" He yelled at them.
"TAKE THEM IN THE BASEMENT" He ordered.
This night is horrible for both of the brothers.
Roman's Bodyguard punch Ryan for almost 2 hours. But that doesn't concern him much as he was used to it.
But the scene infront of him where Roman beat Ryder with hot iron rod broke his heart. He so badly want to kill Roman. He felt useless, worthless and Pathetic.
💭 Flashback Ends 💭
Because of me, Ryder was hurted.
If I hadn't hugged him, then all this wouldn't have happened.
Then, Ryder would be safe too.
It's all my fault.
I am the r-reason he was h-hurt.
It hard for me to even breath.
Darkness surround me.
My chest started paining. I rubbed my hand on my chest trying to soothe it, in order to get relief but nothing happened.
I am sweating, panting and tears rolled down from my eyes.
Suddenly, I felt someone rubbing my back.
They try to say something but I can't catch it.
It's so painful.
Someone hold my hand and kept it on their chest.
I could hear someone saying something like "Breath in... Out" and I followed it.
I calmed down, slowly.
My blurry eyes became cleared.
I looked beside me only to see Nerdy ?
Raven ?
I swear I saw tears in her eyes before she blinked it away.
Before I could comfort her, someone suddenly pushed her making her head bumped on wall.
I looked at Alice who slapped her harshly.
This bitch-
I suddenly pulled by non other than my twin in a hug.
He pulled me away from everyone.
"Are you ok ?" Ryder asked worriedly.
I nodded and I looked towards Raven only to see Grace is pulling her hair.
"What actually happened ?" Ryder asked me.
This is not a time idiot.
"Tell them to leave her. She is innocent" I whispered to him.
He looked at me puzzled.
"The fuck Ryder, she is the one because of whom I am ok now." He looked at me doubtly.
"For Fuck sake Ryder, I had a panic Attack and she calmed me down, stop them" I whispered gritted with my teeth.
I am literally tired.
"Leave her" He said coldly making everyone stop in their tracks.
They tried to protest but Ryder's glare is enough for them to shut up.
Ryder supported me a little and we leave from there, after glancing one last time to Raven.
She wiped her tears and picked up her glasses, which Grace threw it.
I hate these bitches. I don't even know why Ryder even talked with them.
I sighed and we left.
In dorm,
Raven is staring herself in mirror. She looked her image. She saw fingerprints on her cheeks, her messy hair, a busted lip, scratched marks on cheek.
I shouldn't care. I shouldn't care whats going on in their life. It's not in my cup of tea. I shouldn't interfere in their business.
I wiped my eyes.
"Tomorrow I will return this wallet to Ryan and that's all. After that, I will never going to talk to them. Never going to interfere in their life"
If only I knew, how wrong I was !!!
If only I knew, my life is going to change from tomorrow, for better or for worse, God knows !
(And in my case, this author knows)
