Chapter 13

Theodore

I took a deep breath, wiped my tear-stained cheeks and prayed that what I just heard was all a part of my hallucination and not the voice of the girl who broke my heart into a million pieces.

"Theodore, please look at me", she pleaded.

I shake my head still facing the door and not looking at her. "What are you doing here?", I twiddle my thumbs.

"You and I need to talk, and you've been avoiding my calls", she said as I heard her start to make her way towards me.

My heart quickly started racing out of nervousness and my palms began to sweat.

"Theodore, I just want you to know how sorry I am", she wrapped her arms around me, and my entire body went stiff.

"I didn't mean to hurt you, I was only tryna teach that jerk a lesson for picking on you".

Huh? What does she mean she wanted to teach him a lesson? Like in the bedroom?

God why is this happening? everything was going fine till she showed up, I can't do this. I'm not ready to face her.

"I didn't sleep with him if that's what you're thinking".

I finally turned around to see the same beautiful brown eyes that were so full of life, now looked sad and miserable.

She looked like she hadn't gotten a good night's sleep In weeks.

Was I the cause of this?.

It shouldn't matter to me, I should be happy to see that she looks as miserable as I feel. some would be glad to know that the one who hurt them we're suffering and not doing well, but not me.

Jaelen had sunk her claws so deep into me It had me so far gone, It wasn't about how I felt at the moment It was about comforting her and letting her know I was here for her even If she didn't care for me like I do her.

Did I do this to her? I thought to myself as I pulled her closer to me and we just hugged each other like our lives depended on it.

I rested my head on top of her head and inhaled her intoxicating perfume that had my body relaxing.

"I kneed him in the balls, that's why I was walking towards him not because I wanted to go home with him", she whispered, and I know that she was crying because I could feel my chest getting wet and I held her tighter.

She didn't sleep with him?.

"I...I", I didn't know what to say I felt like a complete idiot.

That's why Kai and Win wanted me to talk to her so badly because what I thought happened really didn't happen. God I'm such an idiot. For weeks I was In my room laying around crying over her wondering why I wasn't good enough for her, thinking I was unworthy of her love. Here I was thinking she was living her best life with Brandon, just for me to learn nothing happened between them.

I would never admitted out loud but for weeks the more days that past I slowly begun to hate her for what she did to me, I loved the person I was with her and when I left her at the club I knew no one else could make me feel the way she did, my heart would never feel whole again.

I hated her for being so beautiful and catching my attention on the very first day, I hated her for invading my every thought, and most of all I hated her for making It so easy for me to fall in love with her and driving me insane.

But I wanted her, God I still wanted her. I had to make this right, I didn't care what It took. I would beg if I had to.

"I'm so sorry, Jaelen", I pulled her closer and started kissing her head.
