Close to You || Chifuyu Matsuno

Chapter 23

Warning: Abuse, rape attempt

Chifuyu closed his door and walked back to the living room. He sat down on the couch and stared at the drawing set he bought for you.

Just a few minutes ago he was unable to contain his smile, but now it was gone from his face, replaced with a deep frown.

He wondered how could a day have so many turns. In the morning he was happy, wondering when he was going to see you again, then he was scared, fearing he wasn't gonna be able to rescue you from the lift, then he felt helpless, while he watched you during your panic attack. At the hospital he felt grateful that despite what happened, you could still smile, and when he was carrying the box up the stairs, he was excited to see your reaction.

Then when a stranger man opened the door and told him he was your boyfriend, suddenly he was hit by so many emotions that he was unable to focus on any one of them.

But the strongest he was feeling now was disappointment.

Who the hell is that guy anyway?

For some reason he couldn't believe he was your boyfrined.

You never talked about him. Ian never talked about him. Chifuyu never saw him either.

Chifuyu opened the wooden box and looked at the colorful pencils inside. He smoothed his hands over the side of the box, then started drumming his fingers.

The two of you didn't even match.

The guy looked like a douche and even acted like one.

And you were so sweet and warm inside and outside.

You definitely wouldn't go for a guy like him.

Right?

Chifuyu leaned back in the couch and let out a deep sigh.

He has to talk to you. But he wasn't sure if that prick opens the door he wasn't gonna punch him in the face.

'Just give me a reason, man.' Chifuyu thought irritated, then he stood up and walked to his door again.

When he walked out, he threw a hateful look towards your door and went straight to Ian's.

It was dark around you and you felt like you couldn't breath.

You gasped and opened your eyes, sitting up.

You looked around, taking deep breaths, realizing that you were in your bed. You looked beside you, and saw your meds and a glass of water on your nightstand.

Oh, how much you hated him.

He always tried to act like he cared, but if he cared he wouldn't hurt you.

You took the meds and drank all of the water, then slammed the glass back on the bedside table, while you put your hand on your neck, still feeling like his fingers were around it.

You looked at the doorway, when a figure emerged there.

"Hey." Noa said and walked inside.

Your eyes drifted to his hand, which was in a bandage. When he saw you were looking at it, he looked down at it too and lifted it up.

"Think I deserved that, right?" he asked with a cheeky smile, his eyes shining in a playful way.

You took in a deep shaky breath, and looked down at your hands which were in your lap. You moved the fingers of your right hand, and saw dried blood under your nails.
