Blue is the warmest color

Chapter Twenty-four

HELENA POV

This isn't real. 

I felt my world spinning around me as my eyes locked on Luke and Sherina who are enjoying each other right in front of me. I grit my teeth in anger, my fist rolled to a fist in disgust. Suddenly, everything he had ever said to me echoed in my mind endlessly. 

I can't have sex with someone I like. 

It's disgusting. 

I like you. 

It's you. 

I can't have sex. 

I can't have sex. 

I suddenly screamed as I barged in and grabbed Sherina by the hair, making sure she hits the ground so hard it would hurt her back then I sat on top of her punching her face while screaming at the top of my lungs. 

Luke then tried to get me off of her but I just kept punching her until my fists bled and that's when Luke threw me off of her but I stood up quickly, grabbed him by the shirt and slapped him as hard as I can. 

"How can you betray me like this!" I cried. "How long have you been doing this to me?!" 

I don't care what I looked like. I don't care if my crying annoyed him. I'm hurt like my soul had been cut into two. I pushed him with my bloodied fists and repeatedly punched his chest, "I hate you!" I screamed. 

I looked at the both of them as I stepped back after I was satisfied. Sherina who was a wreck, her nose and eyes bleeding so badly and Luke who was frightened with my blood smeared on his face and shirt. "I hate you..." I said weakly and in pain, gathering every bit of myself before I get the courage to walk away from them. 

Before I knew it, they said I just passed out in the hallway and people from school sent me home and that's when I heard the news that Sherina was sent to the hospital to get her nose fixed. I couldn't believe I did that but I also felt satisfied that I did and it's worth going to hell for. 

Despite my hands being on bandages, I went to my computer and applied for a scholarship to spend my final year of high school somewhere Sherina and Luke wouldn't exist. I never wish to see them again and if I have never wished for Luke to go, then I must let him watch me go first. 

As expected, I was ripped off my title and Sherina became the new vice-president but I didn't care. I was so angry that I would care less about the title. I also didn't look at Luke once just like he did. Not once. I bet he also wanted to apologize but I'm not going to hear it and he doesn't have to explain. 

Nobody has figured out the reason I punched Sherina or that Luke cheated in front of my face. I hid that fact with me and swore to God he should help me get over this heartbreak because it's killing me each night. 

Five days passed and I instantly got an acceptance letter from a prestigious high school in Australia and I couldn't express how my mother and father felt about it. They were enraged but I told them I'm not going to face my bully and I'm going to go as far away as I can because this town's making me sick. 

That's when Luke finally uttered a word. 

"Don't do this to your parents" he said, much like begging. 

"I'll be eighteen soon and I choose my own destiny" I argued, "You know..." I continued, my heart is threatening to explode out of my chest, "I always say that I hated to see you leave" I reiterated, walking towards him until our face's are about to touch, "But this time, I want you to see me... leave and I really hope you'll hate it as much as I did" I finally broke and tears began to roll down my face. 

I walked away from him and ran to my room. His face didn't even have remorse nor regret he caused me this immense amount of pain but I'll get over it. I will get over it. I will... definitely get over him that when our paths would cross again, he will regret.
