Fated Victims

+* Start Of It All ! *+

Team's POV

Question 1 .......

Question 2....

Question 20.........

" Alright put your papers down times up "

I sighed heavily

Finally done with my final exam

I need some help deserved sleep after a hectic month of studying

I went out waiting for my friends Manaow and Pharm

They came out and we made fun of Manaow

" Your face looks bloated did you sleep in the exam ?"

" Oi, Team don't start now

I didn't finish the last two questions "

" Don't worry you won't fail

I know you studied hard for this "

" Thank you Pharm

At least you're not like some people "

She made a face at me

I almost fake punched her when we heard a very familiar voice

" Hie guys "

" P' Ohm hie ?"

I stared at Pharm

Yes he had a huge crush on him

" Hie P'Ohm

What are you doing on this side ?"

" I was wondering if you have perhaps seen Fluke

I tried calling him but he's not responding "

" Pharm do you know where your brother is ?"

" H...he should probably be out of his exam right now and..."

" Hie guys

P'Ohm you're here too "

" I was actually searching for you

We had plans after the exam remember

I hope you won't bail out on me "

" How can I ?"

Fluke tip-toed to meet P'Ohm's height and kissed his cheek

" What s going on here ?"

" Well Team three weeks ago he asked me out on a date and of course as you can see we're together now

And we have another date so we better go

Bye guys

Oh yes Pharm, I'll probably be back late I already called Mom so don't worry about me "

" O..ok "

They left and drove off in Fluke's car

Pharm looked like he was about to cry

" They 'ook great together don't they ?"

" They really do Team "

There was a change in tone in his voice

" Well we better get changed and get ready to party all night "

We all agreed and went our ways and just promised to meet at a nearby club we often frequent

I got home and my parents where still at work

Being an only child was a little difficult sometimes but I'm glad they took care of me and brought me up so well

I never lacked anything at all

**********

I got ready and took a cab to the club

I found Manaow with her boyfriend Pruk and apparently P'Ohm and Fluke also came to join us

Only Pharm wasn't around

He came late and the real celebration started

I wasn't one for drinking and stuck to my juice

Yeah quite lame but I had a feeling I was going to be the designated driver for the night

Fluke and Ohm where flirting all night

" Why don't you just get married already

You keep sucking each other's faces off "

" Oi Team why don't you bother the guys wanting to flirt with you over there

I'm sure one of them is your type "

I turned around and a few guys waved, winked and one even licked his lips in my direction

" I don't think so Fluke

I'll just join Pruk and Manaow on the dance floor"

We danced around for a while but I felt uncomfortable with some guys trying to grind on me so I went back and downed my juice in one go

Pharm ordered another one for me

" You're awfully quiet

What's up?"

" I'm fine "

" Is it because of Ohm and Fluke ?"

He sighed heavily

" Pharm you will find someone better

Ohm has always liked Fluke and look at how happy they are

Nothing can tear them apart

Just leave them be alright?"

" I need some air

I'll be back "

I felt sorry for him

" Hey sweet thing wanna dance ?"

I turned to him

The one who winked

" No thanks your not my type "

I got up and went out I was getting stifled inside the club

I was really dizzy app of a sudden and everything was getting blurry

" Hey sweet thing

Wanna crash at my place ?"

" No thanks I'll just hail a cab "

He grabbed me roughly and punched me so hard I passed out

**************

I woke up with a massive headache and my cheek felt numb

I had an IV in my hand

I woke up with a massive headache and my cheek felt numb

I had an IV in my hand

Taking in my surroundings I realized I was in the hospital

I tried to call out for someone but I couldn't find my voice

I reached out for the button and pressed it

Soon enough a doctor came in with my mom and dad in tow

" Oh gosh, Team

You're finally awake "

I still couldn't get my voice out and just gestured that I couldn't speak

" It's alright son you'll be fine soon

Doctor please check on him now and give us the results and not the one's you gave us before

Please

I'm begging you "

The doctor sighed

" Sir you will get the same results as I already told you

And they will not change

Your son was assaulted and was found by his friends who brought him here

It's not something I'm proud of to say out loud but please understand and be there for your son as of the moment

I already took a sample of the semen to identify the culprit who did this to bum and hopefully the police department will let us know

The best thing to do for him will be to keep him away from anything that will remind him of this incident

Please do inform me if you have any problems and I'll extend my help in anyway I can "

I heard nothing of what the doctor had said and my body was numb

I lost all feeling all over me

' I was assaulted ?'

"Hey there sweet thing...."

Then I also remembered the punch I received

Tears flowed out of my eyes non stop

I only saw my mom's hand wiping my face but I still felt nothing

#########

Two months later

I was getting better with therapy and I also got my voice back

Of course they caught the culprit

I found out through email that the results where out and I went with Manaow and Pruck to get our results

And yes I was going to graduate with shining distinctions

My friends congratulated me and I even got a video call from Ohm and Fluke

They were at Ohm's house and I could tell they just got out of another one of their hot long nights cause Fluke had bright red hickeys all over his shoulders

I had to tease him a little about it

" Why don't we go out for some street food then they celebrate Thai style "

The three of us went on agreeing with Manaow

We ate a lot of street food

I wasn't feeling well all of a sudden and almost fainted at some point

" Team we should have you checked out

You look pale "

" Oi Manaow , I'm fine

I'll should probably just go home "

" Sure we'll drop you off

We can't leave you alone right now "

" Thanks guys "

I hugged both of them tightly

" Ey not too tight Team

You're not leaving us here

We are stuck forever "

I smiled at both of them

They were so lucky to have found each other

We got into Pruk's car and drove off to my place

Manaow's POV

We got to Team's house and when I turned to wake him up cause he had fallen asleep on the way, he wasn't responding

I shook him but still no response

" Pruk rush to the hospital he's passed out "

" Ok "

Thankfully traffic wasn't tight and we got there on time

He was still unconscious but everything was alright

I called his mom and asked her to get to the hospital as quick as she could

We we're all standing outside Team's room waiting for the doctor to tell us what made him pass out

" Please doc what's wrong with him now ?"

He didn't look like he was going to tell us something good

I was nervous as hell and held onto Pruk

" I'm sorry to say this but

We found out after a number of tests cause it's very rare and we came to accept that"

" Accept what ?"

" You're son is pregnant

A month along "

I fell down in shock and tears flowed out of my face

Team's mom was inconsolable

I felt sorry for her and for my friend too

' what's going on with Team ? Why is this happening to him '

I went to his room to check on him

I got a shock when I found no one on the bed

I went out to tell his mom and we tried to look for him every where but no luck

" Wait Manaow

Did you see my car keys ?"

" No you left them in the.......

Oh my gosh Team took your car"

He called the police station and asked them to follow his car and gave them all the important details to identify it

Two hours later we got another call through Pruck

" Ok thank you for your help "

He sighed

" What's did they say ?"

" They found the car leaning over a bridge and before they could reach in to see if anyone was inside

The car burst right then and there "

" A...and Team ?"

" They couldn't find him

He's gone Manaow "

***************

"+- Never Could Tell "+-

Fluke's POV

With Team's body not being found for an entire week , his parents decided to just hold a memorial for their only son

I still wasn't convinced that Team committed suicide

His situation would have pushed him towards such lengths but I still wasn't able to comprehend that this was the only way he decided to run from his problems

Team was the most cool minded person I have ever known

Even such a situation he wouldn't have acted his way

" Hey what's wrong ?"

" Ohm ?

Sigh

Nothing really "

" It's not nothing

Tell me or I'll force it out of you "

I sighed again

He always can tell when I'm not alright

" I was thinking of going to the police station and meeting the culprit before he goes to court

I need to know who paid him to do this to Team "

" Mmmmh that's ok but I don't think they will allow us to meet him

And besides let's wait for tomorrow

It's the court hearing after all

And we need to comfort his parents on their loss

I may have not known Team for a long time but I know he means a lot to you "

I hugged him tightly

" I'm so lucky to have you

I love you so much "

" I'm lucky to ever have met you "

We stayed in silence

Clearly he didn't hear the last part

" Fluke ?"

"Mmh?"

" I love you too"

"""""""""

No one's POV

Everyone made it to court on time except Ohm and Fluke who were stuck in traffic

They managed to get in the court room but once the culprit saw Fluke, chaos blew up

" Him !!

It was him who put a drug in his friend's drink and paid me a million baht and even left his friend telling him to never mad him angry ever again

He said Ohm only belonged to him and that anyone who will be against his feelings for Ohm will face dire consequences "

Everyone stared at Fluke

Due to the chaos and the culprit trying to strangle Fluke on grounds that he get him released from jail, the court hearing was set for another day

The cops wanted to arrest Fluke but he told them he will cooperate unless he speaks to the culprit himself

Fluke's POV

As soon as he culprit named me the mastermind behind everything that happened to Team I knew it was Pharm who caused all this mess

I didn't believe it either

They were such good friends why did everything go down to this

I was let into an interrogation room with the culprit already seated

" You are really looking for a death wish you know

You told me to have my way with your friend and now you come to court as a witness?

You must be really brave

And even if you change your hairstyle doesn't mean I will not recognize you

There is some dark aura around you

It even gives me the chills "

" Really ?

Do you still feel the dark aura even now ?"

" Strangely no

Do you get a personality change with that hairstyle of yours ?"

"No

But the person you met before wasn't me

It was my twin brother "

He laughed hysterically

"Hey this isn't a movie you know

No lookalikes here

Just admit you set me up and get me out of this dump "

I took out my phone showing him our pictures

" You have got to be kidding me "

" My brother planned all this not me

Now of you don't start talking explaining exactly why you let my friend face such kind of a tragedy, I will be worse than my brother "

" You don't scare me "

" I found your account details and took back all he money sent in there

Even the one that was in there before

You have a little brother with cancer who needs a bone marrow transplant very soon or he dies

Your mom left you both to live a lavish life with her new husband

Your dad left you for another woman and a new family

You still have to finish your fourth year in college

And without the money you have your life completely clogged

Tell me exactly what my brother told you and I will take care of your brother for the rest of his life and I won't make him hate you for being this way "

" F...fine

Aish your hardcore "

" Start talking "

Flashback

" Hey I got a job for you ?"

" Pay up first"

" Bank details "

" A million baht?!"

" I could send more but you look greedy "

" What do you want ?"

" That guy who rejected you

I can get him to come to you in about 5 minutes

You can have your way with him or thrash him I don't care

Just make sure you deal with him quietly

Here he comes

I was never here "

" Hey sweet thing ..."

With so much resistance from him

I sent a punch that made him pass out

" I like it more when you scream but this will do "

-------++++++

" Are you done ?"

" You said you wouldn't be here but it seems you had quite a show "

" Shut up and leave "

" No problem"

" Team I will be the only one to enjoy this

Your knew how much I love P'Ohm yet you support his and my brother's relationship

Instead of pushing me to Ohm you take me away from him

Ohm is mine and I will get him back

I'll make sure i get my revenge even after this if you still support the both of them "

:;;;;;;;;;;

I had tears flowing out of my eyes continuously

Pharm went to this extent because he wants to be with Ohm?

I got up and left the jail house they were keeping the culprit locked up

Ohm found me and just held me in his arms

A little while later I pushed him away

" What's wrong Fluke ?"

" Y..you need to stay with Pharm

He will stop all his bad deeds once he has you by his side

Please Ohm just go "

I pleaded with him but he only held my  face in his hands

" Fluke this isn't a movie

I am not going to be with your brother

I will never be able to love him even of I were to spend years together with him

I first met you not him

I liked you for an entire year and now we are together and now you want to end everything just like that "

I shook my head no

" I love you so so so much Fluke not even your brother can take that

Your irreplaceable Fluke "

He kissed me passionately

' gosh I love this man so much

I can't let him go like that

I'll help pharm in another way '

He pulled out slowly

" Don't ever bring up the topic of breaking up

I won't accept "

" Don't worry I won't "

@@@@@@@@@@@@

I took ohm with me to Team's house and met his parents

I explained everything to them even though I knew they might hate me eventually

" I thought of putting Pharm in a psychiatric hospital just for all our safety

If he targeted Team he will come for you his parents and then me

He can't hurt Ohm and he will manipulate him if he had his way

Apologising isn't enough to take away your pain but I hope you help me heal my brother

We will punish him after he gets better in his right mind

Right now taking him to court will be an easily granted bail and i don't want you to have an easy escape from his crime "

" Thank you for considering us Fluke

We will help you "

No one's POV

Pharm had run off to Taiwan and was arrested and sent to the asylum for treatment

Ohm made sure to pinpoint the obvious fact

His was only for Fluke alone and no one else

He was left shattered and even more pressured when he heard of Team's death

Team's parents met with him with a few words

" Our son talked about you like a boy talking about his crush having finally noticed him

He loved you so much and you were inseparable no matter where you were

We might not be able to forgive you so soon but please

Stop this nonsense before you officially lose it

Not that you already haven't "

He was left in a foreign country all by himself

When his parents found out, they thought it best to leave Pharm in Taiwan

$$$$$$$$$$

White Walls again?

How am I here now

This time not only an IV but an oxygen mask as well

This place looked like serious business

I'm glad I haven't lost my sarcasm

Then I remembered something

" Your son is pregnant "

That was what made me take Pruk's car and drive of to nowhere I can't have that idiot's baby inside of me

I lost track and swerved when I almost collided with a motorcycle and slammed into the bridge

Slowly I crawled out though the back and got out

Luckily an ambulance was passing by and picked me up

That's all I could remember

I tried getting up

" that's not a good idea "

I turned to the voice

I made a scowl in confusion

' who was he ?'

" Detective Pawin Guntachai

I'm handling your attempted suicide case "

"_""_"__""""_

:-:-| Save Me :-:-|

Win's POV

I received a call from the commander informing me of an accident

I drove there as soon as possible and luckily an ambulance was passing by and the person was found in time before the car he was in exploded

I went with the ambulance to the hospital

Luckily he didn't have any serious injuries

He did look fragile and it made me wonder what exactly he was going through for him to end up on that bridge in the first place

I waited for him to regain consciousness and soon enough he did

What I told him about his arrest for attempted suicide came as a blow for him

" What do you mean suicide ? I wasn't trying to kill myself at all "

" Then why were you on that bridge in a car that was about to blow up ?"

" I was in shock ok !!!!

I had just found out I was pregnant and a few weeks before that I was raped

Do you honestly think I wanted to live after knowing all that ?

I drove the car to get away from shaming my family and friends not to kill myself

And even if I had to die it wouldn't have been bad because my misfortune is not something I want to keep on remembering for the rest of my life

I hate myself for this having happened to me

I don't even know why this is happening to me of all people "

He was already crying at this moment and I held him

" I don't want to live at all just leave me alone "

He got up from the bed, removed his IV and was about to head for the window

" Hey what are you doing sit back down you will hurt yourself "

" Let me go

Let me go right now

Why stay alive when I will only be a laughing stalk to everyone and a big shame to my parents

I don't want people to look at me with pity

Just let me die "

He held onto my shirt and kept on crying

A few minutes later I looked at him and he was asleep

I put him back on the bed and asked a nurse to insert the IV back

I made sure to let them keep an eye on him at all time or he was going to jump off or hurt himself badly

I drove back to the station to talk to my superior

With a gentle knock he let me in

" Did you get the information we need about the victim ?"

" About that no I haven't "

" Then where you doing at the hospital ?"

" I spoke to the victim and it doesn't look good

I wanted to suggest that you allow him to stay in my care under your orders alone "

" And why would I do that ?"

" He is traumatized by the fact that he was assaulted and recently found out that he was pregnant

The truth of carrying a rapist's child inside of him is not something he can comprehend

I want to take care of him until he can go back to his home on his own

Whatever necessary thing you need to know about him I'll keep you updated on it "

" I'll let you handle him but not as a detective but as another human being would

I'm leaving him in your hands Win don't disappoint me "

" I won't Tharn"

" You can go now you're excused"

" Sure

Oh and by the way what are you planning for Type and your wedding anniversary?"

" Well it's our first so I'm still trying to get a clean schedule but I'm not so sure "

" Tell me if you need any days to slack off with him "

" I'll definitely use that

Thanks "

" Consider it my present to you although I will send a proper present"

" I'll be expecting it "

I left the office and went on with my daily duties

*****************

Two days later......

I drove to the hospital when to check on him

" I seriously need to know his name "

I filled out my details and went up to his room

Team's POV

I had just finished breakfast when the nurse told me that I was well enough to be discharged

" But I'm a stranger here where will I go to if I'm discharged ?

Can't I just stay here ?"

" I'm afraid that's impossible

We have other patients that will need the bed you're occupying and you can't be kept here even if you begged us

Just find someone who can help you I'm sure someone will offer a hand "

" He's coming with me "

I turned it to the voice and it was the detective

" I'm here to get him can I have his belongings "

" I'll get them "

The nurse left

" What is it now ?"

" Like I said you are coming with me to my house

You clearly don't know anyone here so I'll hep you with anything you need "

" Stop bragging already

No one takes care of a rape victim

Just sell me if you want"

He sighed

" Get changed and meet me outside and please don't think of running "

He cupped my face

" You got that right?"

" Ok fine "

I had no choice anyway

I got changed and went with him out of the hospital

He drove in silence for about an hour and stopped at this really expensive house

"Let's go in

And don't worry I live alone "

Such a house living alone?

Is this guy insane ?

" Let me show you around the most basic rooms in this house "

He showed me the living and dining room

The kitchen was quite big for a single person

The backyard patio will probably be my favorite spot

"This is my room

If you need me I'll be in here "

He had a lot of stuff even ladies shoes

Probably a girlfriend

He finally showed me the last room as of now

" This is your room it has everything you could possibly need

There are some clothes in the closet please take a shower and join me downstairs once you're done"

He turned to leave

I was about to make my way to the bathroom when he turned around

" Please don't do anything we will both regret

You're protection, both of you ,is in my hands now "

I silently nodded

He left

I grabbed some clothes and got into the shower for a long warm bath

I wanted to cry at my bad luck but every time I think about it one face pops up in my head

I got downstairs and was met with a wonderful aroma

The table was set with what looked like a mini buffet

My stomach embarrassed me with a loud growl

He chuckled and pulled me to sit down

He gave me a large serving and I ate it all up

" Thanks for all this "

" You're welcome"

I picked up the dishes and he helped me clean them

" I have to go back to the station so if you are uncomfortable you can stay in your room or mine I don't mind

I still don't know your name yet

I'm Pawin Guntachai

Just call me Win "

" Team Chalwalitrujiwong "

" Alright Team

I'll leave you for a while

I know it's inappropriate but bear with me

I'll be back by 7 then we can have a little more introduction than just names that is of you are fine with it "

" No problem "

"You can live with me as long as you want to and don't pressure yourself about leaving

See you soon "

He got closer to me and kissed me on the forehead

" Bye "

I was still in shock and only watched as he left

I spent the day in the backyard and I luckily found some magazines

Without my phone I'm limited to this now

I was getting bored and jusst decided to cook

It's my way of relieving stress

***********

Win's POV

I got home for the first time with a feeling of seeing someone waiting for me

I was a little jolly and don't blame me

Team was cute and this wasn't supposed to be something he was going to deal with

I put it as my bucket list topper to make him forget about his tragedy

I was welcomed with the amazing scent of chicken

I followed it to the kitchen

He was really busy and didn't even notice me

I went upstairs and took a shower,got dressed and went back downstairs just to find him smiling at his work

" Smile more often

You look really beautiful"

He was startled but ended up blushing at the end

" When did you get here ?"

"About 15 minutes ago I just didn't want to disturb you "

" Oh "

He wasn't one for words I guess

" Can I dig in ?"

" Oh yes I'll dish it out for you just wait in the dining room"

" I have a large counter top right here and we can both sit comfortably to eat "

" Ok "

We sat down to eat and I must say his food was amazing

I wasn't a fan of sweet things but even his dessert was incredible

" Teach me how to make these so I can take some for my colleagues "

" I will don't worry "

We cleaned up and after a little while of getting to know each other we both went off to bed
