Nothing, He’s Nothing to me!

"He's nothing to me!".

Drake heard the words loud and clear from outside the door. They lingered at his ear ringing over and over again till the words faded.

It wasn't something he didn't know, they were nothing to each other - probably even enemies.

His fists tightened at his sides.

So why did hearing her scream the words out make his chest ache so much? Did he really think that her outlook on him would change after being saved just once? It wasn't even the first time he'd saved her, but she always pushed him away.

'He's nothing to me'.

The words repeated in his head, making him wonder why he even cared.

He shouldn't.

He shouldn't feel anything at all if she didn't even refer to him as a 'friend' nor 'acquaintance'.

They never bore any special relationship, she was just another woman he'd slept with while being in berserk mode.

It was his mistake.
