Broken Nose

“Are you out of your mind?” Mike yelled, pulling Melissa to himself while he glared at Chris.

“I said, get away from her!” Chris rushed forward, wanting to tear them apart again. However, Jose stepped forward and held Chris. 

Pak! 

A heavyweight slap landed on Chris’s face, his face swung sideways as his lips tore apart. Chris’s eyes were red from anger and pain, his face was swollen but then he struggled against Jose, while he glared at Melissa and Mike. 

On the other hand, everyone there was watching the commotion while Reid and Ren were annoyed that Chris had spoiled the whole thing for them. 

“Bring him to me,” Reid commanded. 

Immediately, Chris was pushed before Reid. His forehead slammed on the ground as he lay flat on the floor. 

Reid bent to Chris’s level, raising him up by the shoulder. 

“I already told you…” He slapped Chris lightly on the face, continuously, and then continued, “You shouldn't ruin this confession. I told you to get lost and now you are here, ruining it.”

However, Reid’s words went into Chris’s ear and flew out of the other. He just wanted to confront his girlfriend but Reid had him locked down. 

Chris’s emotions were getting the better of him and he glared hatefully. 

“You are glaring at me? Do you want to die?” Reid’s face was bloodshot with a murderous gaze. “You do whatever we say. If I tell you to clean after the confession, you do so! Otherwise, I will kill you and dump your body on a dump site.” 

“You are just a fucking cleaner!” Reid spat on Chris’s face. 

Immediately, there was an uproar of laughter as the onlookers pointed at Chris. 

“Hahaha! He is just a cleaner.” 

“I was quite scared when he rushed out, thinking he was some kind of crazy dude. What can a cleaner do?”

Chris bowed his head in shame, as he heard the insults thrown at him. He then shot Melissa a side glance, wishing he could just get her in the palm of his hands. 

On the other hand, Melissa took a step back in fear, her eyes darting around. She shook her head at Chris, silently telling him to keep quiet. How could everyone know that she dated Chris, a common cleaner?!

Although Chris was good academically, he was handsome, he couldn't be compared to Mike. Mike was the richest dude in school, he could spend on her and get her whatever she wanted. Even the flowers he bought for her for his confession were worth a thousand dollars. 

Chris’s wage wasn't even a quarter of that! 

“Why are you whispering, Melissa?” Chris sneered, seeing what she was doing.

“Don’t call my girlfriend with your trashy mouth!” Mike immediately shielded Melissa. 

“Let him go, Reid. I will deal with him myself.” He ordered. 

Swiftly, Reid let go of Chris and Mike came rushing forward. However, Chris was quick to dodge, he shot up to his feet. 

Chris held his painful jaw and pointed at Melissa, “Why are you whispering? Why are you here with Mike?”

Melissa took a step back, shaking her head, “What are you talking about?” 

“Why don't you tell them that you are my girlfriend?”  Chris sneered. 

“Girlfriend?” Ren sneered. 

“This dude is out of his mind!” They laughed, scornfully. 

“Why would a beautiful girl like Melissa date you, a loser?” Reid asked. “Do you think she is your class?” 

The laughter continued and Melissa sighed in relief, seeing that their opinions were in her favor. 

She stepped forward boldly, “Don’t mind his stupid ass. He pursued me, wanting to have me but I never accepted his pursuit. I only took mercy on him and talked to him. Now, he is ranting about me being his girlfriend?” 

“Tch!” She sneered. “If you dare come close to me, Chris, I will make sure you regret it.” She threatened coldly. 

Chris’s gaped in shock. He was shocked that the woman he had spent his savings on, the woman he worked overtime for was denying him. 

“Have… have you forgotten?” He stuttered. “I used all my money just yesterday to get you a gift you liked. How could you say that to me?” 

Chris was hurt. It hurt to love a woman who didn't even hesitate to deny him. What had he done wrong? 

“Me, money?” Melissa snorted. “How much could you afford to give me? You are just being delusional.” She then turned to Mike, “Make him disappear.” 

“You heard her, dumbass! Get lost!” Reid dragged Chris, wanting him to throw him out of the court. 

“Before you go…” Mike stepped forward, dipping his hand into his pocket. “Take this!” He flung up to twenty 100 dollar bills on Chris’s body. 

“Get a life, pauper.” He sneered. 

Chris was humiliated. His eyes darted around seeing how they ridiculed him and it was all because of Mike and Melissa. 

As he was being dragged out, something sinister snapped in his head, and he escaped from Reid. 

He rushed forward with so much force and anger and before Mike could comprehend what was going on, Chris punched him in the face. 

“Ahh!!!” 

Shocked gasps filled the air as Mike staggered backward, holding his broken nose which dripped with blood.
