The Betrayer. Heart broken.
The dawn was cold, and sunrise was approaching. Both Belinda and Jisoo were still staring at their phones, waiting for their friend Katherina to respond to their messages. They were worried, distressed. Their best friend, after letting her go to Tom's house to confront everything, hadn't returned, and they hadn't heard anything from her. She didn't reply to messages or calls from her other friends. It was as if she had gone far away, as if she didn't want to be near.Jisoo, who was still trying to call the brunette, felt a slight weight on her right shoulder. It was Belinda, leaning on her, and she told her that Katherina wasn't responding, and the others—Katherina's friends—said the same."Where could she be?" Carlos wondered, stirring his herbal tea, trying to stay calm. "I'm worried, it's already very late.""Too late," Belinda said, not letting up. "It's not the time for her to be out.""I agree, but poor her," Bam said, dropping onto the black sofa in Star's living room. "She mus

It was ten o'clock in the morning the next day. The morning was unusually warm for winter time. Clara, who woke up early, gently called the kids who were sleeping in the Star's living room, and as they woke up, she greeted them and they returned the greetings.Clara led them to the kitchen and prepared some coffee and tea, along with a somewhat neutral breakfast due to the events of last night."Katherina... Did you have the tea?" Iu asked, sitting with the others on the cedar stools around the table."After 5 attempts, she drank it," replied Clara with a chuckle, serving coffee. "She... will be fine.""It hurts to see her like this," Bam spoke, helping set the plates. "I've never seen her drunk in my life.""She only does it when she can't take it anymore," Belinda said, knowing her well. "Would you like some coffee?" she asked Harry and Harrison, who didn't say anything, unable to look at Clara, let alone Idris, who was coming downstairs. "Good morning, sir.""Not so good," he said,
The Betrayer. No way...
"Oh, he says his name is Tom, Tom Mikaelson."Something settled in the air, and it was silence. A silence that permeated the entire grand house of the brunette, to the extent that Min furrowed her brow, turned around, took a few steps, and looked at everyone from a distance. She said, or rather tried to say:"Should I leave...?""No!" They all said in unison, not letting her finish.Now, peeking out a bit from the gray pillar in the living room, Jisoo spoke with a chuckle:"No, Min, it's better not to, it's not the right thing to do."Min looked at her, puzzled and not understanding, and asked:"Why not?" she inquired. "He seems like a nice guy, I don't see anything wrong with him.""Everyone seems nice to you, Min," Bam said from the living room. "Not everyone is like you.""I know I'm unique and different, Bam. But the guy outside, I don't see anything strange about him. He just... asked if Katherine was here or not," she added, looking at the brunette and noticing in her dark, ches
The Betrayer. Go.
Something was simmering on the wrong side of the fence after Katherina's words. And that was the behavior of the dark-haired boy, standing with his father. That struggle was literally adding more gray hairs to his already graying head. He turned him around, still gripping his arm, and with a growl, he said:"You're pushing me to the edge, you hear me?" he asked, holding him tighter. "What just happened will not happen again.""That's not for you to decide," he managed to break free forcefully, looking at him. "Dad, please, I have to go."He walked past, and in that instant, his father grabbed him again, this time around his waist, their bodies pressed together as they struggled to move forward."Everything that's happening to you," he spoke, trying not to lose his grip, "is happening because you're acting like an idiot.""I'm a jerk, an idiot, good-for-nothing," he ranted through tears, directed at himself. "Come on, father, let me go."He was eternally grateful that his wife had forc

"He's an imbecile, a fool," he grumbled as he entered the house again, ranting and trying to quell his tears. "How I despise crying over him," he growled. And then, unexpectedly, he kicked the small table next to the door, causing the vase on top of it to fall and shatter. "Leave me alone," she pleaded, and her father pulled her into an embrace. She simply clung to her father, burying her face in his chest. "I hate him, Dad," she looked up at him, while he wiped away her tears. "I'll kill him," he said with a tense voice, Min expressed his anger, his jaw clenched. "Come here," he requested.He stepped away from her father and slowly approached him. He lowered his gaze and sniffled. Min took hold of his chin, finally making him look him in the face. Never in his worst memories had he seen Katherina so broken, which meant she loved that guy with such intensity, and now, all Min wanted was to punch him in the face. "I have to go to him," Harrison's voice broke the silence. Everyone loo
The Betrayer. Pain.
The cat-like eyes in Min were filled with suppressed tears. He was coming down from the brunette's room and went straight to the living room. Belinda, who was sitting on the sofa, asked him when she saw him, "What happened?""I don't know," he said. His voice was shaky as he walked towards her. "I mean... Katherina... She... Since when...?""Sing," Jisoo interrupted, getting up from the sofa. "Well," she sighed, "since you left, she's been finding solace in music. In fact, she started writing silly stuff after finishing her tattooing sessions. But... what happened up there that has affected you so much?""I heard her singing," he replied, as Carlos placed his arm on Min's shoulder, hugging him. "God," he trembled, "Katherina is a wreck.""Did... Did you see her?" Iu asked. Her face reflected concern. "What did she do this time?""I don't know. She didn't open the door for me, I just heard her sobbing," he replied, wiping away some tears. "Where are Mr. and Mrs. Jackson?" he asked late

The days passed like yellowish leaves until reaching the present moment:"Shh, be quiet," he whispered, motioning him to remain silent. His clear gaze remained fixed without even blinking, just like the rest. "What day is it today?""What kind of question is that?" he replied with a furrowed brow, answering with another question. "Today is Tuesday," he muttered."We should all be in class, right?" the brown-eyed one said, looking at everyone at the same spot."Exactly," they said in unison. "But... we don't have class today.""Ah...," they all said.They were all sitting on the couch, looking over it towards the table a few meters away. They just observed, trying not to make any sound. They watched as someone came in and out of the living room, until finally sitting down and doing what they had said, doodling."Will she get better?" he asked, resting his arm on the back of the couch and his chin on his hand. "Several days have passed since what happened, and...""Belinda," he interrup
The Betrayer. Tears.
That hurt like nothing else.Everyone knew that.Because of that argument, Jisoo had to stop seeing Harry for several days, and two days later, he asked her to be his girlfriend.She was happy and sad at the same time about everything that was happening with her friend."It was horrible," Bam interrupted her thoughts."In what way?""In how you yelled at her that time.""She started it," Jisoo defended herself. "She hurt me first.""But not as bad as you," Iu said, and Jisoo sighed. "Understand that Katherina is broken. She doesn't know what she's saying.""And what does that have to do with her taking it out on me and Harry? Remember that because of her, I can't see him.""You can't see him because you don't want to," Carlos said, and Jisoo gave him a dirty look. "Katherina went through a deception that even I, as a man, wouldn't want to experience.""She's not well," Min said after a while of silence. He looked towards where Katherina was, watching her erase and redraw over and over

"What was that?" He frowned slightly as Tom pulled out of her and heard whispers behind the door.Tom, still panting, grabbed his light green long-sleeved shirt, got up alongside Katherina, handing her something from the closet. Cautiously, he went to the door, turned the doorknob, and as he opened it, two bodies fell to the floor.He looked down, seeing Justin and Jisoo, both red as tomatoes with nervous smiles on their faces.They clumsily got up from the floor, and Tom crossed his arms, looking at them with a raised eyebrow. "Can we know... what were you doing behind the door?" Katherina asked, putting on her blouse and standing next to Tom, who was staring at Jisoo and Justin, unwavering. He was standing with his arms crossed, emphasizing his muscles and his slightly clenched jaw. That melted her, but she looked back at the two boys. "You said yes!" Jisoo exclaimed excitedly, grinning. "You're getting married." "So that's... what you were doing..." Tom spoke. "Listening to what
The Betrayer. Please.
"Are you ever going to stop looking at me?" Katherina asked Tom, who was standing by her side, his gaze fixed on her. "No..." He caressed her cheek, both of them still naked, covered only from the lower part of their bodies. "I never want to stop."Katherina smiled slightly, not showing her teeth. She closed her eyes, savoring the touch of Tom's fingers on her cheek. She sighed and felt Tom's lips on her temple before kissing her lips.The kiss was sweet, gentle, with no desire to ever stop kissing each other."I will love you to infinity. That's something no one can deny. I tried in so many ways to get you out of my mind, and the truth is, I couldn't. I realized I can't be without you, you're the only one I want with me, the only one, oh..."Tom looked into her eyes and smiled; it had been so long since he heard her voice, heard her sing. Katherina kissed his lips, nipping at them. "You're the biggest inspiration I have, Tommy." She whispered close to his lips. "Don't ever make me.
The Betrayer. What do you think?
"What do you think they're doing?" She asked while standing outside the venue. "It's been two hours since we left them in there." "Rough sex, perhaps?" He said with a mischievous tone and laughed. "Those two..." "Shut up, Harrison." Belinda requested, and Hazz just stuck his tongue out. "I still can't believe that it worked."Neither Belinda nor Hazz knew about the rest's plan. In fact, they doubted that Katherina would go along with it.But she did.And that showed them that she still loved him, they both did.After leaving them in the room at the venue, they decided to go back and just think about what might have happened."... I'm going to go in." Justin said, and Maroon stopped him. "What?" "I think it's better not to go in." "They're in the room, not outside. Besides... I want to know if..." "No way!" The rest shouted, and Justin laughed. "You want to see everything." Daya said. "That room must be a mess." His eyes turned mischievous. "They must have had a lot to do in two

Every part of his body was electrified, and it was no wonder. His dark eyes were fixed on Katherina's eyes, feeling his lower part harden. Katherina pressed him closer to her, and their intimacies collided."Katherina...""Tom..." She took his face and simply kissed him.The atmosphere was too tense, their breaths were ragged, and their heartbeats racing. Katherina made certain movements, causing their sexes to rub against each other. Tom let out a moan near her mouth."Please... I'm begging you," Katherina gasped, placing her hands on Tom's chest. She was against the wall, and Tom was holding her.Tom moved his lips to Katherina's neck, leaving short kisses there. He missed doing this, he missed kissing her, having her beg him, not pushing him away.Katherina let out a moan as his lips touched her ears, nibbling on them. She pulled Tom's hair, roughly capturing his lips, biting them, kissing them passionately."I love you," she said, and Tom looked at her. "I never stopped. I tried,
The Betrayer. For you.
"Sorry.I promised to love you forever,And it was true, there were no doubts in my mind.If destiny had different plans,And I hurt you by accident.Sorry.If I let go of you,If I didn't defend you,It was because my heart was blind.What a foolishness to lose you,To see it.I'm sorry.I don't expect love or hatred,I already have enough with my pain.I curse the episode,The worst part is that I was the one who wrote it.The demons that your forgetfulness leaves behind await me, they play with me.I know it's cowardly to ask for forgiveness in a song.Sorry.Sorry...Her voice faded away, and crying took over. Her throat closed up, and only her face sunk into the hollow of her neck. Her gasps were audible, her tears were felt; she truly said everything she felt.Like she had never done before. She was against the wall, and faced with everything that had been said, she couldn't help but break down in tears.Both of them were in tears."Please, Katherina." Tom said with a sob, looki
The Betrayer. Moment.
Katherina was looking at Bam, realizing as he saw her that apparently, all of this was yielding a different result. The least expected outcome happened. Her breath rose and fell somewhat quickly, she felt somewhat detached from her body, her heart was beating strongly, and in the face of it all, she felt her ears hurt. She looked at that facade and as she did, she furrowed her brow, tears ran down her cheeks, tears she tried to suppress."Katherina...," Maroon said while standing in front of her. "What's happening?""The photo..." she responded in a low tone. "It's just... Where did they get it from?""Why the question?" Justin spoke. "What matters is that apparently you liked it, it affected you too much," he murmured with a sigh. "Did you like it or not?""Where did they get the photo from?" she asked again, looking at Justin with a hardened expression."I don't know. You tell me," he said, arms crossed. "I don't understand why you want to know. It's just a photo.""A photo that not

"Oh my God!" she exclaimed with concern as she saw him enter. "Tom... What happened to you?" "Nothing, Mom," he replied as his mother checked his nose. "Mom, that's enough. It doesn't hurt." "But who the hell hit you like this?" asked her father. "It doesn't matter." "What do you mean it doesn't matter?" asked Sam. "One more punch, and you won't have a nose." He just frowned. He headed towards his room, taking for granted what his parents and siblings were yelling at him. He threw himself on his bed, covering his face with his hands, taking a deep breath, thinking about the idea that Daya had given him. He was nervous, doubtful. Truth be told, if this didn't work, he would leave it all behind.That caused his heart to tighten.With one hand, he took his cellphone out of his front pocket. He saw several messages from his parents, to which he didn't respond when he had left, and his parents thought something had happened to him. He just deleted them. Afterward, he chatted a bit wit

Take it or let it go, take it or let it go. You know perfectly well that all the suffering you feel, you totally deserve it. I think you're getting the point, baby... You crossed your limits, now you're here among the streets, thinking, "Now, who will I take as my beautiful origami?""It has to be some kind of joke," he said, removing the headphones from his ears. It seemed like the song was speaking more than he thought, and that filled him up. He let out a sigh and looked at the shops that were there before reaching his home. He saw one that was open and remembered that Katherina worked there, but he never had the chance to visit. (Or maybe he just made excuses not to go.) He crossed the street carefully and, standing in front of the shop, he rang the doorbell several times. "Come on... Someone... Hello!" he said, making a gesture when a man with long hair and dark eyes appeared on the other side of the door, looking at him. The man on the other side stared at him and then called so
The Betrayer. Cry.
"Definitely not worth giving her anything," Tom said after several minutes of walking back home with Harrison. After what happened at Katherina's house, Nadia thought it would be best for them to leave. Tom seemed more downcast than ever, gazing at the street floor with his hands in his pockets.Harrison placed his arm over Tom's shoulder and gave him a half-playful hug, ruffling his black hair. "She's the one missing out," he said. Tom looked at him as if to say, "Did you really just say that?" Harrison shrugged. "Sorry... Chocolate makes me say silly things," he chuckled, taking another cookie from his pocket and stuffing it into his mouth. "Wipe that look off your face," he asked Tom."I'm tired, Harrison. Bored. Look at what I've become," Tom held the broken necklace in his hand. "If only she knew that I'm just as broken as this necklace, maybe even more," he sighed heavily, burdened with pain. "I hated how, before leaving, Will showed up, and she just jumped on him and kissed him
