Si Xia's eyes narrowed as his face stopped just inches away from Chen.
Yu Chen felt a shiver run down her spine as she stared in those deep black eyes, which had always looked like a star filled sky, but now looked like the bottom of some dark lake.
Chen closed her eyes and shrinked away as Si Xia's hands left the wall and came close to her. Chen suddenly winced in pain as she felt the hair of her sides being pulled. She opened her eyes to see Si Xia two feet away from her now, holding the butterfly clips she had been wearing, one in each hand.
He had pulled them out without opening them, which had led to Chen's hair being pulled. Yu Chen's eyes dimmed as she stared at the clips, some of her hair which had been pulled out of her head were still dangling from them.
When Si Xia spoke next, his voice was distant, emotionless, very much different from the crazed tone it had carried a few seconds before. But somehow this tone seemed to scare Chen much more than the previous one had done.
"You've shown how much you love me Chen. So there's no need to wear these like some....kind of.....fake....show of your love!"
Saying this he threw the clips on the floor. Chen was about to say something, but Xia's voice stopped her, "You gave me your answer. Now here's mine!!!!"
Saying this Si Xia stomped on the clips. Yu Chen stared at his well polished shoes as she heard a crack. It felt to Yu Chen like the crack came from the sound of her heart breaking. The pain in her chest certainly felt like it.
Yu Chen plopped on the floor as her knees gave out, staring at the floor as Xia's shoe moved to reveal the butterfly shaped clips, that were broken into pieces, just like her heart, just like their relationship.
Xi Hua was very tired as she entered the apartment. "God I'm so tired. I'm just glad I don't have night shift from tomorrow." Hua muttered to herself as she hung her coat and changed her shoes.
"Chen? You awake?" Xi Hua called out loud as she walked towards Yu Chen's room and knocked on the door. Getting no answer, she was surprised. "Chen? You awake? Did you make breakfast? Chen?" Xi Hua called as she searched the bathroom, then walked into the living room, looking around, a bit alarmed.
"Chen....? Oh my god Chen!?!?!?!! CHEN!!!!!!!" Xi Hua froze at the door for a few seconds seeing Yu Chen on the floor, without her t-shirt, hair all messed up, and with little marks all over her.
She hurriedly knelt down in front of Yu Chen and shook her by the shoulders, yelling, "Chen!?!?? Come on Chen!!? Answer me!!!!!"
Yu Chen seemed to awake from some dream as she blinked and looked at Xi Hua.
As Hua continued to rattle Chen and ask what happened, Yu Chen shook her away after a few minutes, stood up went forward a few paces and collected something from the floor.
She then picked up her t-shirt and pulled it on.
