Chapter 68 Stop please
“You haven’t seen him for the last fucking seven years!”
I don’t even make the attempt to try to explain to him. He would never understand the connection I have with Natte Johnson.
As we're still talking Will storms my room, he's drunk and angry and shouting
“I’ve loved her for two years of my life, shiv! Two years! I gave this love everything! Trusted her! Would have given her anything! I gave her my heart for Christ’s sake! I wanted to marry her!”
His words blindside me. He wanted to marry Terry? Terry had never even talked about it with me, since when did he start having thoughts of marrying Terry?
“All of it gone, because you came between us you’re some cheap whore who can’t say no to a fucking rock star and had My Terry lie for you! I never had you down as some slut bitch, but now I do, now you directly send my only love to your fucker's friend's bed.”
He’s looking at me with utter disgust and contempt. And I deserve it. I've destroyed a two-year relationship with my own lust. I wanted to lie yes, why did I choose my best friend to cover it for me, why did I have to break them apart? I knew it would come to this point but it couldn't be as deadly as it is.
“I’m sorry,” I cry. “I didn’t mean for this to happen. I’ve loved Natte since I was young–”
“Spare me anymore of the goddamn details!”
He barks and Pine stands up ready to leave. I can also see he's also hurt. "You love Natte, right? It's the same way I love Terry, maybe more than you because mine is not lust. Why did you push her to another man's hands? I listened to your nonsense all evening, I didn't know you would send my woman to another man's bed, I just thought she was messing around. Coming to think of it, you wanted to ruin us, Shiva."
Nervous, I look down at my hands, my eyes fixing on the bracelets. Natte’s and Pine's.
And then I just know I want Natte and that's the reason everything has crumbled around me. He’s all I’ve ever wanted. But wanting him has cost so much loss.
I unclip Pine's bracelet from my wrist.
Getting to my feet, I hold it out in my hand to him. “You should have this back,” I say quietly watching as his back tenses on his truck, he was about to leave when I stopped him.
Before he even takes the bracelet back Will looks down at my hand. Then he grabs the bracelet and throws it across the room.
His face becomes a blind rage. I’ve never seen him look this way before. Then he’s striding across the room, purposefully, angrily.
“Where are you going?” I ask panicked.
“To hit that guy Dennis’ ass!”
I’m moving quickly behind, but Will is already through the door, practically sprinting down the hall looking for Dennis' room. He’s like a man possessed.
I’m screaming after him leaving Pine in the room I can't even concentrate anymore.
Will tries to open Dennis' door but it's locked.
Then I see Natte’s door open and he’s standing there scanning the hall, looking worried. He must have heard my screams.
Natte registers Will, then me, and it all just happens so quickly.
Will is on him, and he punches Natte in the face.
“NO!” I cry out, as I hear the crack from the impact.
I stop in my tracks, watching in horror, as Natte momentarily loses his footing, staggers slightly, his hand going straight to his mouth.
“Did you think you could fuck her and have her send my girlfriend to your friend's bed and I wouldn’t find out?! That I would do jack shit about it?!” Will yells at him. “I don’t give a fuck who you are! I’m gonna beat the shit out of you!”
Natte moves his hand away and I see the blood. He looks down at his hand, then runs his tongue over his lip, licking the blood and smirks.
“I’ll let you have that first one mother fucker, but not the next.” Natte sounds unnervingly calm.
Then he punches Will hard in his face. It’s so quick and unexpected.
“NO!” I scream out, again. “STOP, PLEASE!”
Will staggers back from the force and I try to help him, but he pushes me away, hard.
I lose my footing and fall against the wall hitting my shoulder, and fall onto my ass.
Natte’s face flames with rage. And then he’s on Will punching him to the floor, hard, repeatedly over and over.
I scramble up to my knees, finding my voice to scream, “NO! STOP!” begging Natte to stop, and then Ben is there, pulling Natte off Will.
Dennis appears in the hall from behind me, and he’s straight in there, telling Ben to get Will out of here, and taking hold of Natte, pushing him back because he looks crazy right now, like he’s ready to kill Will.
I’ve never seen Natte look so wild.
Then Terry is beside me coming from the same hall as Dennis. She's dishevelled too, helping me up off the floor, putting her arm around me, holding me close.
Ben pulls Will up off the floor. He’s covered in blood, his lip looks cut and his eye is swelling already.
I can’t help the sob that escapes me. This is all my fault. He doesn’t deserve any of this. Terry has slept with another man under Will's eyes, something I had no clue it would come to this.
Will shakes off Ben's grip.
“So you need your fucking bodyguard and your pussy band member to help you fight your battles for you?!” Will yells at Natte.
I’ve never seen Will like this before. He’s like a different person. And I’ve done this to him. Terry is trembling beside me and I know she's hurting too.
I see Natte’s eyes narrow and he steps forward, malevolence clear on his face, but Dennis pushes him back. “No man. Leave it.”
Ben pulls Will further back down the hall, turning, he releases him pushing him backwards. “You need to leave. Get your stuff and go,” Ben says firmly. “If you don’t I’ll remove you myself.”
Terry moves me out of the way, backing me up against the wall, as Will steps back.
He turns to both of us.
I see complete hatred on his face which is meant for Terry majorly. Tears are running free from my eyes.
“I loved you, Terry. I would have done anything for you. But how wrong was I. You’re just some cheap fucking whore, like she is. You deserve each other.” He points at me, his fingers are trembling.
Then he turns and storms away. Ben walks past me, following Will as he goes back into his suite.
My whole body is shaking.
Everyone has just been witness to the fact that I’ve been sleeping with Natte behind their back. I've used my friend to cover my shit and my friend has also slept with Natte’s friend. Even though they probably already knew, I still have never felt trashier than I do in this moment.
I try to push Terry to go after Will, I know, but what can she say that will make this better?
I knew what I was doing by involving the two of them in my mess. Yes, it was the right thing to do to cover my relationship with Natte. But I was also making a worse decision for my friend's relationship. I was choosing Natte while destroying Terry and Will.
He may not want Terry now after all this. And I don’t know what Terry is feeling right now after sleeping with Dennis.
