HOMOPHOBIA [BXB]

CHAPTER 50

ONE WEEK LATER

HENLEY'S POV

"You can't stop me from walking out of your life Henley! We are over."

"What? You can't just break up with me for no reason!"

I panicked not letting go of her wrist gripping it tight yet gentle scared that she might leave me.

"Fuck you Henley. We've been dating since three and half years but I never knew you could be this toxic to just leave Rome as if your friendship meant nothing to you.

You're supposed to be supporting him but here you are justifying your homophobic ass that what he did was wrong."

"It's not even related to this and not a reason for you to leave me."

"Oh it is. I'm scared that one day you'll start to behave the same with me.. I don't want that because no one wishes for a toxic relationship. I'm scared that you would start to control my life saying what's right and wrong for me when I'm capable of doing that on my own.

I'm scared that you wouldn't respect my decisions, likes, dislikes....and me. I ain't saying you are doing that now I know that you never did any of those...but the future with you scares me.

This..doesn't feel right anymore, I don't want someone like you. I'm sorry but please leave me.

I don't want to live with a
homophobe."

She spoke with tears cascading down her cheeks and wiggled her hand out of my grip walking out of my bedroom.

She left me.

I took in a deep breath thinking about how Grace broke up with me on the same day I got to know about Rome and Leo.

I miss her.

I gritted my teeth at the thought of Leo. All these happened only because of him. If only..if only he didn't come into our lives things would have been different now.

My parents and sister are ignoring me as well. It feels so lonely with no one talking or even acknowledging my presence.

I'm alone.

Earlier this morning, I got a call from my biological father and I ranted everything that happened but all he said that it was my mistake.

I thought atleast he would support me.

I didn't even try approaching Grace and simply let her go as I so very well know she hates me now. I'll try to forget her.

I'll try.

I pushed the glass door open walking into the coffee shop I visit along with my friends frequently. My friends, Joe and Robert called me wanting to speak about something important.

I wonder what they has to talk. We all together, Joe, Robert, Rome and I are the closest in the wide circle of our friends.

Rome isn't my friend anymore though.

To be honest, it hurts me to let go of him but it is what it is. I don't want to have anything anymore that person.

He disgusts me.

"Your order sir?"

I looked at one of the staff of this coffee shop who had a warm smile plastered on his face waiting to take my order.

"Lungo."

He nodded typing something in the system in front of him and handed me the receipt. I took it with my eyes directly trailing down to the total bill and paid him walking towards the table set near the huge window.
