Debt

Abigail's POV

"Scar, you remembered me." he came out of the shadows with his hands in their usual place; his pockets.

"When did you arrive?"

"I guess Mina kept her promise then, huh," he smirked. "How've you been?"

"I'm good." I lied.

"You are good at everything, scar," He began, taking two steps towards me. "but at lying, you suck ***."

I kept looking him in the eye, not uttering a word.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest and inhaled. "What's wrong, Do..."

"Don't call me that!" For the first time, I lost my cool."

"Then tell me..."

"I am sorry, I should have..." I tried to apologize instead, interrupting him.

I hated the fact he knew so much of the person I once was. The monster I was trying to keep at bay. He knew her name.

"Anyway, I heard what happened to that girl." Trying to change the topic. "She was your friend, right?"

"No," I replied curtly.

"But when her friend..."

"Were you spying on me?" I tried not to glare.

"Yes, I promised mum I would."

"It's my life and none of your ****..." I stopped myself at the last moment.

"It is my business, Do...." He raised his already deep voice but I didn't even flinch.

"Don't call me that." This time it came out as a command. Calm but peremptory.

"I promised to protect you, it's my job." His pleading touched me for a second before Abigail took control again.

"I don't need your protection, break that promise would you fucking please." Every nerve in my body throbbed, I was lightheaded already.

"I can't and you know it." His eyes bore into mine.

"I told before and I will tell you again, you owe me nothing."

"How can you fucking say that?" He grabbed me by the shoulders.

A desperate last-ditch effort to make me see reason. But as far as I knew it, I was blind and he was wasting his time.

I once again kept my silence.

"You took five bullets for me, for Christ's sake!" he yelled. "you didn't even know me, yet you did that." Shaking me but hardly violent.

I shook his hands off my shoulders, walked towards him until I could practically feel his warm breath on my tense face.

"I never took those bullets for you."

"WHAT?" not moving away.

"I took every one of those bullets for myself,"

He was speechless. He probably thought I was crazy. Maybe I was; in more ways than one.

"I am not as selfless as you have led yourself to believe." I smiled ruefully. "I wanted to die that day, Yoongi."

"Do..."

"Why am I telling you this?" I stepped back. "When you already know what I am capable of."

"What are you talking about?" he looked genuinely confused.

He didn't know.

I left him in the corridor without another word and walked back to my room. He was still staring; I just knew it.
