Broken Promise
Chapter 3
I ran to Sarah's room and knocked the door several times as if I wanted to break it down. Leon was just standing there, very calmed down. Apparently, I was the only one who had a problem with what just happened. I was about to ask him something. All of a sudden, Sarah opened the door, she looked half-sleep.
-What's the matter Rogue? Why are you here this late? - asked Sarah confused.
-Well, my dear Sarah...HE is the problem.
-Why? He's fine - she said looking at Leon.
-WHY? YOU ARE ASKING WHY? YOU HAVE NO IDEA?
-Uhmm...no, I don't know what you are trying to say.
-Sarah...you assigned MY room to him! How could you do such a thing?
-I did that?
-YES! YOU DID! FIX IT! NOW! - I was getting altered.
-Rogue...I'm very sorry; there must be a mistake in my register. Tomorrow I'll check it.
-TOMORROW? Tomorrow is too far way! Why not now?
-Because I need to personally check every room to see why there was a mistake...
Leon, who was just standing there…interrupted.
-Where am I supposed to stay tonight? - he asked Sarah.
-Stay with Rogue? Wait, no! A girl and a boy staying in the same room? That's wrong! – she took a deep breath - I'm very sorry but I think we have no choice, stay with her for tonight.
-I don't think that's safe for me - he said.
-Sarah, you MUST be kidding! - I said.
-Well, Rogue...You have friends here, don't you? Why don't you stay with someone? Or with me?
-I'm not going to do that! Leon must find some place! Not me!
-Me? Let me remind you something...I am the star here and you are just staff.
-WHAT? I'M GONNA KILL YOU!
-KIDS! CALM DOWN OR BOTH OF YOU WILL SLEEP ON THE STREETS! – yelled Sarah.
Again, things were getting out of control. I needed to calm down.
-Sorry Sarah…But I'm not staying with him...He may do something.
-What? Do you think I'm a pervert? - prompted Leon.
-Rogue...Please! Let him! And don't complain because your room is one of the big rooms.
-NO!He is gonna do something! - I was saying lies. I didn't think he would do something; I just wanted him to stay somewhere else.
-I'm not doing anything to you! You are not even pretty or something! - Leon yelled.
- ... - I had nothing to say, I got on his nerves.
Sarah looked bothered with the situation and our reactions.
-Rogue! Please...just tonight.
-Okay Sarah, whatever...I don't care
-Thanks Rogue, and...If you two fight or something, you will not be allowed to stay here.
Just what I needed, another warning for the record. At least it was the first warning that Sarah gave me.
Leon and I headed to my room, I didn't turn to see him or to say something. I opened the door.
-Come in. And well, you stay there...
-On the floor?
-YES! - I was angry again. I thought he deserved to sleep on the floor.
-But, there's a sofa here.
-I DON'T CARE!
-I'm sleeping on the sofa.
-FINE! I DON'T CARE – I said irritated. That was too much for me, no one before made me feel so angry.
-What's your problem? - he said calmed.
-I have no problem! - I said while slamming the door of my room. I didn't close.
-F*ck! This stupid door never closes!
-Maybe if you don't slam it...
-SHUT UP! And don't mess with me or my things and everything will be somewhat fine!
-Okay...as you wish. Good night.
-WHATEVER! - I yelled and went to bed.
So many things happened in such a short a time. Everything seemed to be that guy's fault. I couldn't sleep. There were too many things in my head. I looked at the clock: 4:25 am.
-What? 4:25? Damn...I must get some sleep.
I went to the other room to get a glass of water and some sleeping pills. I saw that Leon was sleeping peacefully, as if he had no regrets or worries.
-Lucky him.
I took the pills; I was about to watch TV but, I recalled that Leon was there and that he may wake up. So I just stood there in the darkness...thinking, waiting. Leon woke up.
- Ehh?
- Now what? I didn't make any noise!
- Why do you just stand there as if you were a ghost or something?
- Are you saying you are afraid of ghosts?
- No
- Damn, you are already awake.
-So what?
- I didn't turn on the TV because I didn't want to wake you up.
- Do you care about me?
- NO! I DIDN'T MEAN THAT! Is just that you are no bother if you don't talk or move.
- Now I am the bother here...
- Well, YES!
- Listen, you act like a 10 year old child
- Me? You must be talking about yourself!
- Of course no. By the way...why are you awake and…Haven't you noticed?
- Notice what?
- It's almost 5:00 am
- STUPID PILLS! Well, I was here because I couldn't sleep so I took some pills and I was waiting for them to...
I woke up. I didn't remember why I was sleeping in the living room. I looked at the clock, 11:00 am. My vision was still blurry. I felt a cold breeze, I embraced myself. Then, everything turned clear. I saw Leon sleeping besides me, but I was on the sofa, while he was on the floor. The night before, we were just yelling and arguing. Now, there was a complete silence. I stared at him. He looked just like...Who?
-Leon...Leon...Wake up.
Nothing, he didn't answer.
- LEON! WAKE UP RIGHT NOW! - I said as I slap him.
-Why do you hit me?
- You didn't wake up. Why am I here? What happened? I knew you were a pervert!
- I'm not! And it was not my fault.
- Get the f*ck out of here! Now!
The peace ended so quickly, that it felt like it was never there. I started to throw things to Leon until he was outside the room. Sora came by.
- What's happening here? - she asked to Leon.
- Nothing - he didn't look at her as he talked.
- But I don't get it. Do you share room with Rogue?
I felt like I needed to clarify things, so I went to Sora.
- No, we are not sharing room...Well, this night we did...But it was Sarah's mistake! She is going to fix it today. I guess we have to go to her right now.
Sora was clueless, but she didn't ask more. Probably she noticed the best she could do was to not interfere.
Leon and I headed to Sarah's room.
- Sarah...Did you fix it?
- Yeah I already checked! - she said with a big smile - But...there are no rooms left, I don't know how this happened. We never got this problem before. He may need to stay with you a couple of days until I find some way to fix this – she said puzzled.
- Please…Tell me that was a metaphor for "he's staying somewhere else"
- That wasn't a metaphor. But Rogue, you could move for a while with someone else.
- Why me?! He is the intruder! I WON'T ACCEPT IT!
Author's notes:
So, yeah. There are a lots of fights, but things will calm down eventually haha
The unfinished story has 11 chapters and, as you might have noticed, there aren't that long. Probably it will end in 16 chapters. I'm not sure yet. I have the idea, but I need to finish first the edition of the others.
Hope you enjoyed it!
