Sixty Six

We are here at the restaurant where Railey told us where he saw Kalsey and Karsen. I looked around but I couldn't see them. "Hey, is this really okay with you? This could break your heart." Chico was worried about me. I know that it could break my heart but I want to see it for myself.

"It is fine, Chico."

I look at him and he feels so irritated. "I don't want to see it because I might punch Karsen in the face. How could he do this to you? When your only intention is to love him." I know that.

"I know Karsen doesn't want this to happen too," I murmured.

"Look, there they are." Railey points out where the two of them are. I saw Kalsey hugging Karsen tightly with a smile on her face while Karsen kissed her forehead. I felt another heartbreak. I can't bear seeing him happy with someone else, why does he need to do this to me?

Seeing Karsen laughing with Kalsey made me remember all of his promises, the way he begged me to let him court me. Can't he remember all of that? Can't those memories won't make him remember me? Can't the love that he had for me can't win against the potion that Kalsey gave to him? At least, try fighting against that. I miss how Karsen loves me, like the way he loves Kalsey now.

Tears began streaming down my cheeks as I kept on looking at them until Noah's hand reached my eyes and covered them. He pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly. "Let's go." Noah's sweet voice made me want to cry more. Why do my tears keep on falling? I am always trying my best not to cry but I can't.

What I saw today made me remember Karius and Kalsey. About how Kalsey tried to make him fall in love with her too. It was like the past just repeats itself. I heard Chico running away from us causing me to look at him. I saw him punch Karsen in front of a crowd. I wanted to run towards Karsen but Noah didn't let me to.

"Chico is punching Karsen!" Noah's eyes were staring at me telling me to let him be. Telling me not to engage with the two boys. "But, all of you are best friends! I can't bear looking at you guys fighting each other. Let us stop them!"

"Even me, I wanted to punch Karsen as well. I don't care if it is because he was bewitched by Kalsey. It is one of his decisions too, Charlotte. Remember, Karsen won't be bewitched if he didn't let Kalsey go near him."

My eyes widen after hearing that. Railey is telling the truth. If only Karsen didn't let Kalsey go near him, Kalsey probably wouldn't have been able to execute her plan. It was his choice to let Kalsey go near him. I gritted my teeth in anger and pain. I wanted to shout and wanted to release all of the emotions that I am feeling now. Everything.

"Let Chico do it, you won't let us punch him too, do you?" Railey's words made me decide to step away from them. But, my heart and mind keep on telling me to stop Chico from fighting against Karsen.

"I am sorry guys, I really can't do it." After I said that, I immediately ran away from them and went to where Chico and Karsen punching. I immediately went between them and stopped them from fighting.

"Stop!"

Both of their faces and noses are bleeding because of the punches they gave to each other. "What's your fvcking problem, man? Shouting and punching me out of nowhere!?" Karsen shouted while pointing at Chico.

I saw Kalsey trying to stop Karsen by hugging him and telling him to stop. She looks at me but then looks away. "Karsen, we have to go." Kalsey looks at Karsen's face.

"You are the problem, man! How dare you come back with your ex-girlfriend when you already had someone! You are courting someone new, Karsen! How could you treat her this after telling her that she is everything to you? What kind of bullsh*t does your mind have!?" Chico was shouting at him and wanting to punch him again but I stopped him.

"Court someone new? Since when? Kalsey and I haven't broken up yet, what are you yapping about? You guys keep on telling me that it was Charlotte whom I love when we're only best friends! Stop shouting nonsense, Chico!"

Friend? Best friends? I can't help but laugh causing them to look at me. I stared at Karsen in the eyes causing him to widen. "Best friends? You said what?" Karsen's eyes still look at me.

"Yes, if you are that obsessed with me, don't bring my friends with this. I treated you like my sister and this is what you will give to me? How could you, Charlotte?" I laughed again, went closer to him, and gave him a hard slap causing Kalsey to shout at me.

"What are you doing!? Why did you slap him!?" She was about to hurt me too but Railey caught her hands and glared at her. "Railey." She violently took her hands from Railey's grip and went closer to Karsen. "Come on you guys! Stop making a scene, here! We are in public! You guys already know what is wrong and right—"

"Tell that to yourself, Kalsey," I speak causing her to shut her mouth. She looked at us one by one and instead of speaking again, she tried her best to make Karsen leave.

"Remember this Karsen, we are only doing this not only for Charlotte but for you too. I know, we all know how much you love her. If you keep on going with that witch, you will regret this." Noah's words made Karsen stare at me and studied me.

"I am hoping you guys are wrong." After that, he left us with Kalsey. I plunked down as my energy was drained all of a sudden. The third curse that Kalsey gave me triggered because of the anxiety that I got from seeing them until I finally became unconscious.
