Leaving

"Stay away from her, you will both be hurt if you continue to feel for her."

"Don't issue, Roselle." I still laugh and say.

"I'm not an issue here Cedric you two. You know it's forbidden for us to be close to woman. As much as possible we are forbidden to fall in love with people like you and she himself ordered that. I care because Reign is kind to me. Admit it, do you like our leader anymore?"

"I do not know about you."

"Don't know means 'YES'. I just found out about us but I hope you try to get rid of what you feel for her right away. Think that when you become Reign may lose his position and you won't be able to calm your heart at any time. Reign could be ruined at the hands of the enemy. The situation between the two is too complex so be professional. "

Stupid, she left me. I have no other choice but to laugh at myself. Why didn't I even howl? Why didn’t I defend myself against his allegations? Is it true that she said I like Reign? Funny. Why would I like her? But in fact, I've been thinking about that for a long time since I kissed her. Maybe it's just jealousy I feel says Zayn. I was jealous then because they were together. I almost raped her even though I didn't know anything when it came to that kind of thing. Ahhhh ... I'm in love! I'm in love with Reign!

"Are you not feeling well?" asked my companions while eating in the canteen.

"I have no appetite."

"Why then, you're only like that now when you're sick we'll expect you're home already." Frankie doubted.

"It's nothing. I'm just thinking about the number of projects we're going to do." I still have a weak answer. Erdem would have spoken before Calvin.

"The leader of the Viper!" At Calvin's Shout the drum in my heart seemed to be making a noise. As she got closer and closer it got tighter I couldn’t breathe. I sighed as she spoke right in front of me but his full attention was not on me.

"Aren't you done yet?" we all looked at Joseph. "You're my partner. We need to finish this right away so I can get into my job."

"Ah here it is." Joseph stood up. "Actually, while I'm eating I'm doing that next time we're going to report I worked hard so I did that."

"Wow! Really? Thank you. I'll be back when I'm not in a hurry, come on?" They stared at each other but only for a moment because someone sneezed. They looked at Zayn next to me at the same time.

"Be absent first now Joseph." He commands.

"Huh why?" Its a startling question.

"Take Cedric to the clinic because he's still feeling bad."

"Oh? I thought he was okay?" Joseph continued to question.

"I do not feel good." I exclaimed.

"But I'm needed now in our group. We can't pass if one of us isn't in the presentation." Make me stand up. "I'm really sorry for Calvin and Frankie."

"You told me before there is no obstacle when I need you but now why do I feel like you can't tolerate me? I don't like them I want you Joseph to come with me to the Clinic." I gave a firm command as I walked away from their place.

"You know you don't have a heart, you still don't have a brain! Where do you live on the planets? Don't you think Seph studies hard just to pass and then you act there. The number of your friends oh your Joseph yet you choose not to mind ----- "

"SHUT UP !!" I shouted. All my friends and even her remained silent.

"No one can refuse my commands even if they are even Joseph or even you!" I sighed as Zen approached me anxiously.

"What happened?"

"Get out of my sight if you don't want me to throw the annoyance at you!"

"But ---"

"You understand maybe I don't want everyone to get bogged down in the conversation and mess I'm making." I held her tightly on both shoulders. Only now did I also see her terrified.

"That's enough Cedric!" Stop me Peps but I did not listen.

"Cedric is right!" Zayn himself pulled Zen away from me. I stared at Joseph.

"Follow if you don't want us to forget you're still a member of the L-kingdom." I slowly walked away until I reached the clinic.

"Nurse, please take care of Young Master!" He did not disappoint me and he complied. The nurse hurriedly approached me and did everything to anticipate where I was hurting. Honestly, she can't find the pain because it's in my chest to heal the cause of the pain. I'm feeling right now.

I was jealous because they were close to each other. She would have chosen to join that Reign if I hadn't threatened her. I regret it because I can’t even show how I really feel for her. Is it too early to know if this is love? How do I know if it’s heading towards a serious feeling?

"I have no intention of leaving you, Cedric." Joseph revealed to me as I lay down.

"Call my driver I want to go home."

"I called. Cedric, young master talk to me."

"We don't have to talk anymore, do you? It means you're still keeping your promises."

WE REMAINED SILENT even when we were at home. Mom was right at home, I thought she cared but in reality she didn't care. I just really hope I always feel something when I feel like I have a mother who pretends to be worried.

"YOUNG MASTER is still below Master Joseph." Our caretaker Cresencia said.

"Let him go home."

"He said won't leave until you have a good conversation."

"Go upstairs when you come back. You must be carrying ice cubes."

"Young master will follow." It quickly disappeared in front of me and Joseph arrived immediately. He entered my room while smiling.

"Are you okay?"

"Not yet." I frowned in response.

"Young Master, don't think about that. It's okay. We're not going to ruin our friendship."

"What do you think?" I'm proud of it.

"Yes."

"You don't think it's a big issue to me that you're joining that Reign!"

"Is something wrong? We're classmates in a subject naturally we're together and partner."

"Find another partner or just enter the section with Zayn and me."

"It can't be that we're different of course."

"Me or the course?" I was intimidated.

"What's happening to you if you used to make them angry now why do you feel sorry for us and the Lucifer Kingdoms?"

"Get away from her!"

"Whose is it!" His voice was also raised.

"To Reign Annie! Get away from her! She's not a good companion!"

"How do you say that? We've been together for a long time and just now became close so why should I avoid her?"

"Because I don't want to get to the point where you fall in love with her!" Cresencia hurried in to place the ice cubes on the side table and quickly left as well.

"What are you saying?" He asked irritably.

"Will you admit it or not?" I challenge him who is now restless. "Joseph Levado I'm asking you!"

"Nothing! I won't say or admit anything because you're thinking wrong because you just suspect me." I threw ice cubes at him but he turned away and hit the TV. I heard his annoyance as he uneasily toyed with his car key.

"You like her?" I was late to him. "You're still lying I feel like we both feel the same way!" I stood while holding him by his collar.

"W-what now? You like Reign too." The top and bottom of my teeth are fighting

"I thought she was an ordinary woman but I was wrong. I liked her because of her strange personality. Isn't it wrong, it's wrong for us to like her because in the end she will also be ruined." He pushed me after adjusting the collar.

"Is that your problem? It's easy and I can defend her but can you give up your power just for someone like Reign? I see your focus on learning will disappear as well. You don't feel anything about it. I feel like I've wanted her from the beginning. I'm the one who makes it so that you don't notice her. I used to do everything because I couldn't defend her because you're both important to me." Kicked and punched in the face that's all he got in my hands.

"You want her. You didn't even admit it. You waited for me to fall for someone like her."

"Because I'm very confident you won't fall in love with someone like her. Reign is just a simple woman who is poor and bullied while you're popular and recognized by the majority. Cedric Kasilag I hope won't casually fall for ordinary women."

"Run away!"

"Let's fix this."

"Fix it? Is there any hope? We'll just be like Peps and Zen we'll also break down and lose trust."

"So I can stay away from Reign."

"You're just saying don't like her and you can't afford to lose her?"

"I did say I wanted her but I didn't say I couldn't afford to lose her."

"But that's how I understand Joseph."

"I'm leaving. If you don't want us to get along, I'll go away from the L-kingdom first so you can think things through." He picked up the key to the tiles before leaving me alone.

He didn't even admit it but I found out that he really liked Reign. Who else in the L-kingdom likes her? How can I repeal my rules if someone is waiting for her.

"WHAT !?" Erdem asked in surprise.

"Because he likes Reign!" I answer angrily. They all looked at each other. "Don't say you also like her, I'm warning you. Don't let Reign forbid us to have a girlfriend because you know what it will do."

"But what about Joseph? Is he leaving the L-kingdom?" Calvin worries.

"I'll give it to him so he can change. You Calvin, Axel, Frankie, Peps, Erdem, and Zayn don't do what you know will make me angry. If you can avoid getting close to women. We'll talk to the Viper Berus again no that we will unite in their plans."

"How did you talk to Marnelie? Didn't she beg us to HELP Viper because there are other gangsters who also want to kill them?" Peps's mixed concern. The last conversation Marnelie and I had before she left without saying goodbye came to my mind again.

** Flashback**

"I HAVE a request before a new leader of Viper Berus is appointed can you join them? I'm leaving because I'm just going to end a conversation but I'll be right back. We have gangsters we want to hurt and kill. Viper is involved here because there is a group the VB was involved in their fight. I'll talk to those who are higher than them but I still can't make sure my comrades are safe when I leave. Can you take care of Viper yourself even if someone else is in charge?"

"Who are those Gangsters? Why did you get involved in the wheel when you weren't involved?"

"My brother is the reason for all this. I'll tell you everything when I've solved the problem. I wish I had a late request."

"What's that?"

"Be kind to the new leader of Viper Berus can you?"

"You know Roselle is the only one I can talk to your members."

"Roselle can't be the one I handle as Viper because I'm training her for a different role."

"It's up to you as long as it's not a headache to be the new leader of Viper Berus."

"You can really count on me to be very grateful you will do it for the sake of my Viper Berus."
