Shouldn't Have Kissed You

Chapter 49

Chris looked around to see if he could see his best friend but still he was no where to be seen. He had

called him an hour ago and still he wasn't there. He needed a friend now. He needed someone who

would help him in the situation that he was in. Wait, not help but be there for him. He just needed a

shoulder to lean on at this moment.

Chris rubbed his hair as he looked at his watch again. It had been two freaking hours and still no one

stepped out of that room. For crying out loud what was taking everyone so long. The night was about to

fall but still nothing. Nothing from any side of where he was waiting.

"Chris, stop that." For the first time in a long time he looked at her. He felt himself boil up but he wasn't

going to let that distract him. Not when he was waiting outside.

She stood there still innocent despite everything she did to them. In fact he had no idea why she was

there in the first place. It was her fault that their life was forever ruined. Chris turned away not to look at

his ex anymore. Cause the more he did look at her, the more he thought of how he would've done

things differently.

How he would have never approached her when he first met her. How he would've saved his skill

earlier than later. How he should have ended every tie with her the moment he said I do to his wife. But

he never did it. It happened and he couldn't do anything at the moment. He could not even save his

own wife from this tragedy. The tragedy that he had invited in his life. It wasn't fair that she was going to

pay for a mistake that she hadn't done.

Wait, mistake? It wasn't a mistake at all rather a crime. Kimberly had done such a crime that there was

no mercy.

"Where is she?" Chris turned to the voice. "Where is my best friend?" Kyle was before him before he

could blink his eyes.

Chris saw the furry in her eyes. She was burning up and he understood why. Maybe the same furry

was in his eyes when he looked at Kimberly. That's why she hadn't said a word since the moment that

he had looked at her. And now, how could he answer Kyle when she was intimidating him that much.

He wanted to step back but its like his feet where glued where they were. They didn't dare move

despite his command.

"I asked where she is you bastard?"

"She is still ins..."

Slap. A hard slap was the one that stopped him from finishing his sentence. And when he thought it

was over, she hit him on the left cheek harder than the first one. Wesley pulled her away from Chris but

he wanted to tell him to stop. He deserved whatever was coming his way. He deserved all the hitting in

this world. It was his fault that things turned this sour. His and no one else to blame.

Kyle fought to be free. She wanted to hurt them. To hurt him more than he had hurt her best friend.

What kinda husband was he anyway. He was a monster and monsters like him didn't deserve any pity.

they didn't deserve to live at all. God, she was ready to kill him just to end the suffering that her friend

had gone through.

What kind of friend was she anyway? She was the one who forced Maya to go to that event. She was

the one who made her attend the damn concert. And now, she cursed that day that she did that. She

cursed the day that she thought her friend would be happy after everything that she went through.

Maybe she should have allowed her to have her revenge the way she did from the start.

Maybe things would be different now. Very different. Kyle fought free from her boyfriend's. She wanted

to hurt the damn bastard more than her friend would have if she had that revenge of hers. He deserved

every damn bit of pain that he could get. It was because of men like him that women chose not to be

married. These type of men who used women like dirty deserved to be punished and she was going to

be his punishment.

Kyle was fully charged to walk towards Chris when her eyes caught something else. Something more

deserving than Chris himself.

"You homewrecker," she charged towards Kimberly who was about to walk away. Kyle pulled her hair

bring her back to where she stood. Just when Kimberly turned to look at her a slap that made he be on

her knees met her. It was that hard that Kyle herself felt it. She did but it wasn't enough. It wasn't

enough for her friend.

Kyle took her hair again to make sure that Kimberly was on her fight. Today was her day and she

wasn't about to let this day go free. She broke her friend and maybe it was time for her to taste her own

medicine. After all ever thief has forty days and today Kim's forth day had arrived.

Just when she was about to hit her again, she was pulled back. This time it was a firm hand that held

her. And that wasn't her boyfriend. And sure enough Kimberly was also pulled away by a police officer.

"Lemme go." Kyle fought to be free. "I'll kill you today you monster."

Kimberly was let free by the officer who held her. At that time Kyle wanted to jump on her. It was terrible

so far so what could go wrong?

"Ma'am, you need to come down or I'll lock you up." The officer who held Kyle said.

Kyle was still fighting to get free. "You better lock me up because the moment you'll lemme go I'll kill

this bitch."

"Sir," The officer called Wesley. "You better control your girlfriend or she will spend the night here."

Wesley moved towards the officer and took Kyle away from him. She was still fighting and it was hard

to tame the beast when it woke up. She was more determined to kill Kimberly than to think of her being

behind bars.

"Kyle stop." He said trying to calm her down. "It's Friday and if you're locked here you'll stay here till

Monday. Is that what you want to happen?"

He knew her better and sure as hell knew why she was doing this. For her friend. And that meant her

getting into a fight so that she can be locked up with Maya just in case she wasn't released to day.

Which was the stupidest thing to do. What if Maya was let go today and she was locked there. It was

stupid and she had to stop it.

"I don't care, Wes." She tried to fight free from his hold and he let her go.

Wesley took a step back. "Fine, go ahead but know that I won't be there to bail you out come Monday."

He raised his hands to show her that he won't hold her back if she tried any move towards Kimberly.

Kyle walked towards Chris who stood feet away from them. He hadn't done nothing when she attacked

Kimberly and it was for his own good. It was his fault and hers anyway and no way in hell was she

going to apologies to any of them.

"I just want to know one thing, Mr. Rollins." She stood before him and let her eyes room around his face

for a while. Her figure prints where evident on his two cheeks which gave her satisfaction that she had

no idea she had. At least he won't forget her that soon.

"Was this part of you plan? Did you plan this with her just to eliminate my friend once and for all?" She

needed to know right?

It hurt Chris more than it should have. Maybe he deserved that but it still hurt. He had changed. He had

showed how much he loved Maya for the past few months that they had been together since he

confessed his feelings. Hell, he even proposed to her again. Wasn't that enough prove of how he was

willing to go that far that woman. Wasn't not enough to chose her happiness over his enough to show

his love to her.

He had tried and he was tired. Tired of every woman thinking of the way they want to think of him. First

it was Maya thinking that by her leaving him he would be happy. How could he be happy when she

wasn't with him. She was his happiness yet she chose to see that. She chose to ignore his love for her

and that's why she jumped at the first train that came along. She didn't care of what he wanted rather

than what she wanted and that was to be a superhero that she wasn't.

And now Kyle thought that he had planned this? She thought he would stoup so low as to say he was

raped when he wasn't. Was he that bad? Is that how bad of a person he was that everyone thought he

was a monster?

Then Kimberly. Where was he going to start with her? She had turned him into a monster. A big

laughing joke and she still didn't stop. She had a chance. A chance to say that she was the one who

did hit and run but she didn't say anything. She said nothing. She chose to be quite. Quite for her own

benefit when his wife chose to save the world.

It made Chris regret the day that he bought that car. It was a surprise birthday for Kimberly and the

mistake he made that day was to register the damn thing in his name. Which made more logic to police

about who did the hit and run thing. And she was going to go scot free because of his wife. Until when

was he going to let women rule over him? Walk over him the way they felt like they wanted to do?

"You knew that she would take a fault at this. That's why you and your girlfriend came up with this great

idea of yours. Of you being raped? Do real men get raped anyway? Do they Chris? You're the worst

man that I have ever met and I regret the day that I met you. I curse that day itself. You're so selfish

and egoistic. So selfish that it hurts to even think of it."

That wasn't him. He wasn't selfish. In fact it was Maya who was being selfish. She was only thinking of

herself and not him. She was thinking of her happiness and not his. Wasn't she supposed to think

about the two of them?

And was he weak? Is it true that weak men are the one who got raped? He had thought of it and that's

why he hadn't told him wife. Kyle was right. He was a weak bastard. Weak that he couldn't even tell

Kim when to stop and neither Maya. Chris rubbed his face with his hands before moving his left hand at

the back of his neck.

He didn't know how much he would take. Or why he was taking it for someone who didn't love him. If

she loved him enough she would have fought for them. For them and not her. But she didn't. She

chose not to because she didn't want a weak man by her side. The one who never knew how to put an

end to something.

His legs were giving up on him proving more than he cared to admit. Of how much weak he was as a

man. As the society would be ashamed to call him a man.

"Tell me Christopher Rollins? How long?"

What was he going to tell her? He had called his friend to be with him but he hadn't thought of the

consequences. He felt like he was going to die at that moment. Why was he still alive anyway? What

was his purpose in this cruel world anyway? And God, where was he when he needed him the most?

Where was he when he was getting raped, for starters? They say He sees everything but did he turn a

blind eye when it came to him. Did He look away so that Chris could surfer? Was that his punishment

for what he had done to his wife previously?

But he had dependent. He had asked for forgiveness, from Maya and God Himself. Then what was

happening? Why was his life a living hell? Why was so much pain in his heart instead of love? Was this

never made to happen? To take place?

"You can't even answer." Kyle was about to slap him but something stopped her. He wanted to turn and

see what stopped her but he had no strength.

He was tired. Tired of everything in this world. Of only death would take him at that moment. He would

never complain. Never.

"Maya?" Kyle asked in disbelief. "Maya, are you okay?"

Kyle run passed him and into her friends arm.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy? How can you be this selfish? Don't you care about me? I'm I not

a good reason for you to stop this madness? What's this?"

She was crying. It's not her fault but Maya was being selfish. She wasn't thinking about the people who

loved her. She was being selfish and it wasn't fair at all. It wasn't fun at all.

"Kyle, I'm sorry."

"Sorry? Is that all that you're gonna say to me?"

"I did this and I've to pay for it, so please go home."

"Wow!" Kyle exclaimed. "Maya Freeman Rollins, you're now sending me away? Am I your friend or

your controller?"

Kyle watched Maya look away from her. "I don't need a baby sitter who will keep reminding me of what

to do in this life."

It hurt. How could it not hurt when your best friend since teenager call you a baby sitter. And then she

had nothing else to say or do. Maybe now she understood what Chris was going through. How do you

save someone who doesn't want to be saved. She was ready to go behind bars just because of her.

And see, she thought of him as a babysitter.

Kyle moved away from her best friend. It felt like it was going to be the last time that she was going to

see her. Like nothing will ever be the same again. Maybe it was her fault. Hers for making her forgive

Chris. Which wasn't a bad this because God is forgiving.

Kyle turned around to look at Chris before she looked back at Maya.

"Don't worry Maya, this babysitter, won't ever bother you again. I wish you all the best in your case."

And she was out of the police station before anyone could say anything.

***********

"What do you think we should do?"

Chris asked his lawyer. It had been almost a week and today there case was going to be heard then

determine if Maya would released in a bond before the case officially began. She had accepted every

thing when she was taken into interrogation room despite her lawyer asking her not to.

According to the lawyer it made things more complicated but it's like Maya was another person. She

didn't want to listen to anyone. Not even her friend whom hadn't gone to visit again since she left the

prison.

When Chris asked her why she was doing what she was doing all Maya could say was that she didn't

want another kid to grow without a mother. That Kim's kid deserved a mother more than a father. That

she didn't want the kid to grow up like her.

It was no reason enough but she did it anyway. Leonel also tried. Like really try.

"She still hasn't answered where the car car is, Chris." His lawyer said looking at him. "That makes this

more hard."

"That's because she doesn't know anything." Chris tried to explain. "Kim was the one who did this and

she already said where the car is." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

He was right. Everything became more complicated when Maya refused to listen to them. She didn't

even let them in and let them know what she was thinking. Instead she was chasing people away.

Locking herself in the name of wanting to save the baby. It never made sense and it will never do.

"But you'll try, right?" His voice was full of hope. He had to. "I still need her in my life man."

"I'll do my best, man. I'll."

Chris took the mugs that they had used to the kitchen. He hadn't heard from Kimberly since that day at

the station and he was worried. Worried for the baby and also for Maya. Who knows, she might have

run away for all he knew. He placed the mug in the sink and walked out just when the door bell rug. He

still had thirty minutes before the hearing so he could hear whoever was at the door.

Chris opened the door to see Kyle at the door step. She looked like she had been crying and he

understood her. He did after everything.

"Can we talk Chris?"

"Yeah, please come in."

And she did. Kyle apologised to him for the way she had behaved in the station. And he understood her

despite everything that took place. Someone somewhere taught him the importance of forgiveness.

And it wasn't so hard to learn it.

"Please do everything that you can to save her. That's all I'm asking of you Chris."

Chris moved to Kyle and pulled her into his arms. They both loved Maya and where will to do anything

just to save her. But it seemed like she didn't need any saving. Unless...

"Hey, since Maya has no idea of where the car is, we can say that it was stolen and she was

threatened to be killed if she reported this to the authority."

Chris said getting up. His eyes held more hope than before. It had work right?

"Then why did she accept the crime."

"Because the still threatened her. Did you make a video while she explained what happened?"

"Yeah we did."

"I'm sure she was shaking when she was lying, we can use that as evidence of her being afraid. We

can also argue with the fact that since she is a doctor she wouldn't have run away instead given the

patient a first aid before taking him to the hospital."

"Wow!" The lawyer exclaimed, "that's a good argument, what are we waiting for then, let's get Maya

prepared."

"Who would have thought that you could make a good lawyer?" Kyle asked teasing him.

"I am." Chris moved to take his keys on the coffee table. "Are you coming?"

"No, just take care of her, please." Kyle said hugging him. "And tell her that I love her so much and that

I'll be waiting for her."

Chris kissed her forehead. "I'll, Kyle."

The doorbell rug and this time the looked at each other. Chris pulled away and walked to the door. He

opened it and there stood a man in uniform. It wasn't police uniform at all but an army uniform.

His body was well build. He had a scar that was fainting on his left eyebrow but that made him more

presentable than it should. And his eyes, they're deep ocean that reminded Chris of someone but he

didn't know who.

"Hey, may I help you?"

"Is this the house of Chris Rollins?"

For once someone didn't recognise him which made him a little bit proud.

"Yeah, it's here and I'm Chris Rollins."

"Hey, I'm Maya's brother and I was told that she lives here."

And those words remind him of the time they talked the whole day on their honeymoon. That's how

Maya had said her brother would say but there was something missing. And it was her.

Him calling her and her coming running to her brother and slapping him hard and hugging at the same

time. That's what was missing in there and what could he have done? She was in jail when he chose to

come back to her.

"Chris who is at the door?" That was Kyle. "You should let them come insi..."

She didn't finish her words as she stared at the man that stood at the door way.
