Chapter 33: Chaos Unseen.

Melissa's POV.

It was too crazy seeing the both of them act that way. At first I thought maybe it was some sort of joke and they were going to cut it off in a moment, but then it was getting serious and almost violent when Landon tried to attack; I couldn't stay silent anymore.

My gaze was fixed on the both of them as they stood some steps away from me but still completely in my view.

"Do not let him fool you, Lisa; he's not having any sort of headache; he's just here to tease you," Landon responded, turning around as he walked back to Lisa's side.

"Really, is that what you think of me now? You think I came all the way down here to tease her? Landon, what exactly happened to you? What has she done to you?"

"Hey Lex, I am not going to have you speak about me as if I am not here." I fired at him immediately.

"Then say something and explain to me why my friend is acting so protective of you in a matter of hours."

My gaze moved from him to Landon, who was standing beside me now, and back to him again as I thought about what to say. Even I did not completely understand why Landon was fighting for me and staying with me; his sudden support for me was still very confusing.

"If you have a question, Lex, ask me directly and leave her out of this," Landon said to him, making me glance at him again.

From the look on their faces I could tell that there was something they were not talking about. How could two people who are rumoured to be best friends all of a sudden begin talking at each other right in front of me?

"I think whatever issues the both of you have, you could go somewhere else and sort it out. This is a clinic, for goodness' sake, and you cannot be creating a nuisance in here. I know that both of you are so wealthy that you could get away with whatever it is you do, but please have some conscience and consider the health of these people lying on their beds."

I said all of these to them, trying to speak as calmly as possible even though I was becoming irritated by the way they were both acting so childish, especially in such a place.

"Why don't you tell Lex to go get his medicine and get the heck out of here?" Landon asked, but that did not come out like a question to me; he wasn't even looking at me when he said that; he was staring at Lex the whole time.

"Yeah, of course I'll go get my medicine, and it's my bad; I shouldn't have approached you when I saw you here." I think you would have felt better if I had just walked in here and pretended like I didn't know you, right?"

"I do not want to know you right now, Lex. Get yourself out of here."

I was confused at the way Landon was acting all bossy and commanding Lex to get out of the clinic. For a second it felt as if they had switched personality. He was now acting like the Lex I knew, and Lex was strangely calm about it.

"Come on, Landon, you can't just ask him to leave; he's a student, and he can be in here for as long as he wants. Just drop it," I said to Landon in a low voice.

"Oh yeah, Landon, do as she says; she's completely right. "I am a student here, and you shouldn't be sending me out like that," Lex retorted.

It was difficult to find something wrong with their words, but with the tone, they sounded like archenemies who just crossed paths after a long time.

"I don't know what is wrong with the both of you, but this isn't funny anymore. I think you would need to go somewhere and fix your differences, the both of you."

There was silence for some seconds, longer than before. I could see them glaring at each other intensely, and it confirmed my suspicion: this didn't begin here.

"That's it, I'm calling the nurses to show you out, the two of you."

I threatened looking away from them as I looked in the direction of the nurses who were acting busy even though they were constantly glancing in our direction.

"You want to know what really happened, Lisa?" Landon asked me, still not moving his gaze from Lex.

"Oh, come on, Landon, don't be ridiculous," Lex said immediately.

A typical move to make when you feel threatened by what someone was about to say.

"No, Lex, it is not ridiculous because I am about to tell her the truth," Landon responded.

"Do not listen to him, Lisa; he's out of his mind." Even though Lex was not the right person to be saying that to me, I was almost believing his words to be true at that moment.

I quickly turned my gaze to Landon. "What truth are you talking about?"

He glanced at me for like a second before moving his gaze back to Lex.

"The truth is that Lex has an issue with me dating you. He heard earlier that we were dating, and he got furious. He tried to fight me because of it and even threatened to hurt you."

"Landon, you're exaggerating the whole thing," Lex fired at him, moving closer this time.

"What are you both talking about?" I was completely confused as I stared at the two of them.

They wouldn't move their gazes from each other, and it looked scary.

"Lex, Landon, can you both stop acting like this? It's not funny anymore." "What truth are you talking about, Landon?" I asked as I struggled to get out of the bed and stop them, but just as my feet touched the hospital floor, I heard their voices at the same time.

"He likes you!!!" they yelled in unison.

"What? Who are you talking about? Who likes me?" My stunned self needed answers.
