Ronin's POV.
She hits my thigh for air but I ignore. Even if I hurt her she will still come back crawling at my feet.
Why did I have to be the paralyzed one? Anytime I think about it then I get so angry. Chris could have gotten paralyzed but he didn't. Why did it have to be me?
She finally gets the strength to take my hand off her head.
"Were you trying to kill me?" she shouts.
"You can leave if you're angry. I can get another girl in this club anyways." I said.
"I'm okay. You don't have to get angry about it." she quipped.
You see. No girl can resist me. It's part of the advantages that comes with the deal I made with the devil. I know it was a bad idea but I'm living my best life.
"I don't want you to blow me anymore. I'm not in the mood anymore you can leave." I said.
"Please. I'll do anything. I'm sorry." she cried out.
"I don't like girls with an attitude, you should have known better. Why will I try to kill you? Were you trying to say I'm a murderer? Just get out." I said.
"But I—"
"Get out!" I said cutting her off.
She runs out crying.
Well. I'm not heartless you know. But there are variety of girls in this world and I can have all of them if I wanted to. No girl has ever said no to me before since I made a deal with the devil. The deal was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I guess you're missing out on the story so let's do a flashback.
Flashback.
"Man, this mountain is something else." Chris said.
Chris was my best friend since childhood. Our mothers were best friends and it kind of got passed down to us. I think.
"Yeah man. Race you to the top!" I said gathering up all my energy for the race.
We were already halfway through and my waist and back hurt a little because of the harness and rope. We had been up here for an hour now.
We ran on the mountain knowing that it was risky. We wanted something wild to do since we had graduated high school and we were going off to college. So Chris came up with the idea that we should go for a mountain climb. We were trendsetters in East High and also the most popular boys there. We didn't have all the girls because most thought we were too rough but some came through. I had a girlfriend so I didn't care about what they thought.
I was ahead of him. I was winning the race. I looked down to see where he was but he seemed to have been stuck so I pulled my rope a bit and went over to where we was.
"What's wrong man? You're slowing us down." I said looking for what he was stuck onto.
His crampon was stuck deep into a rock. Well, a crampon is a shoe you wear when you're climbing a mountain. It had spikes under making easy for you to hold down a lot better without slipping. I went over to his leg and pulled it out. I used a little too much energy when pulling it out making me lose balance.
My crampon lost contact with the rocks and my hands were far in the air to be able to grip anything. I was falling and the only thing I could grasp was Chris's leg. He also lost balance. We were both falling but he was falling faster than I was surprisingly. We were finally stopped by the rope holding on to us. But I felt a crack sound in my waist the moment it caught us.
I couldn't hold on any longer.
I woke up in the hospital with Chris also in my room lying down in his bed.
"Finally you're awake. I thought you were going to die man."
"Who brought us here?" I ask looking around.
"Your mum."
Lisa enters the room with some balloons and chocolate.
"Oh my God, Ronin, you're awake." she says hugging me.
Lisa was my girlfriend. We've been together since seventh grade.
I pull her in for a kiss. She kisses me back making butterflies erupt in my tummy. We had been together three years now but I still get butterflies when with her.
"I have to call your mum to tell her you're awake." she says looking for her phone inside her purse.
She hands some of the chocolate to Chris and walks back to my bed.
Honestly, I was a sucker for her love. She was different from the other girls.
I pull her back in for another kiss. This kiss was something else. It was as though she didn't want to do it.
"Is something wrong?" I asked while cupping her face.
"No. Why do you ask?"
"It's just it felt you were reluctant to kiss me."
"Really?" she asked cupping my face. " Why will I be reluctant to kiss this specimen of a man?" she said tracing her hands around my arms.
Well I was actually too built for an 18 year old kid.
"Can you both stop? This is disgusting." Chris murmurs under his breath.
My mum walks in with some food. Finally! I had to sit down to eat this because my mum's food is something else.
I tried getting up I couldn't do it. It's like my legs were numb.
"Mum, I can't feel my legs!"
End of flashback.
