DO YOU LOVE ME?

CHAPTER 12

Hazel's pov:

I'm sitting in the middle of Emma and Ric because of this GIRL....
Sophia insisted to sit with Alex so she can help in his paintings.

Yes, they both are really good at painting. And we decided to paint for our project.

But she's just getting on my nerves. I shouldn't be jealous. After all Alex is mine. He loves me not her.

Why am I so insecure?

Yes, he loves me but Sophia is the kind of stunning that come along once in a lifetime, and her personality make things worse for me, because she actually has one.
A good one.

"Why are you so red Hazel?" Emma said while laughing at me.
Because I'm frustrated sitting in the middle of both of them.
They're consoling me. But it's not working. My mind is out of control.

"Oh Hazel!!" Ric said softly.
"I'm really sorry. I'm feeling really bad that I couldn't do anything for you."

"Oh no!! Ric, that's not your fault. I'm just being overdramatic." I said.

Ric is very sensitive person. And he's very protective for both Emma and me. In other words, he's a real gentleman.

"This is it." I said while standing up.
"Sophia!! You can rest now. I'll help Alex." I said to her with smiling face.
But I'm really frustrated inside.

"Uh?!"  "I--"
I cut her off by holding her wrist and standing her up. I sat on the seat.

"Okay!! You can sit there." I said pointing at the desk which is really far from us.
She smiled and left from the class. Wierd.

I turned to look at Alex and he was smiling at me.
I blushed.

"Do you even know how to paint?" Alex asked teasingly.

"I CAN PAINT."
And then all of us laughed.

______________________________________

Emma and Ric left because they wanted to spend time together.
They're really a very cute couple.

And Alex is still painting. I wanted to help him but he refused and asked me to take some rest.
I'm missing him already.

I was in an alley of the college, ready to go home.

"I know what you were doing in the class."
I heard her voice.
I flinched.
And when I was turning to look at her she suddenly pinched me to the wall.

Why is she doing this? She's looking different. I can see the darkness in her eyes and she looks frustrated, angry at me.

"W-what're y-you doing? L-leave." I stuttered.
I am scared. I don't know why I'm scared of her right now.
She's not in her right mind now. She's not the Sophia I thought she is.

"You know what!! I think you should know the truth." She said gritting her teeth.

"W-What?"
What truth? What she is thinking? Can't I see what she's doing? Can't I see that she likes Alex?

"Alex's mine. I was his girlfriend and I'm. You're not. So stop dreaming. Okay!!" She said.

I was shocked. So she was the one Alex told me about. That's why he looks uncomfortable around her.

"I know."
I'm flexing right now. But I don't want her to win. Not in this situation.

And it worked. Her smile disappeared.

"I know about you and Alex. You cheated him and now you're trying to enter in his life again."
"You thought I'll believe you and leave Alex alone LIKE YOU DID IN THE PAST. This will never happen because I love him and I will love him no matter what happens." I shouted.
I took out all my frustration on her. I was leaving but she held my wrist..

"I know you love him. But he doesn't..." She said smirking.
Her evil smile is back.

"LEAVE HER!!"
We both flinched at the shout and turned to see Alex. He's coming towards us.

"DO THIS AGAIN AND THEN YOU WILL SEE HELL." He groaned at her.

Alex held my hand and started taking me from there. And then she shouted again.

"HE LOVES ME..!! YOU'RE JUST A GAME FOR HIM."

______________________________________

Alex's pov:

I love him and I'll love him no matter what happens.

HE LOVES ME..!! YOU'RE JUST A GAME FOR HIM.

I can handle anything, anything. But not a liar. I hate liars.

Why is she doing this? What does she want now? Why does she want to enter in my life again? Why can't I be happy?

Flashback

I bought a beautiful pendant for Sophia. I love her so much that I can't even express in words.

I don't know why she's upset with me and avoiding me? And I hope she'll be happy receiving this gift from me.
I can't wait to see her reaction.

I started to cross the road, then I stopped at my place.
Thump thump thump

I become statue here but my heart is beating really fast. I can even hear it.

I rubbed my eyes hoping that it's just my illusion and nothing else...
But I'm wrong.. she's there across the road.
"Sophia" I murmured softly.

Tears started to roll down on my cheeks. I don't know what to do.

I left from there and after that I started to ignore her. I started to talk rudely.

And then after a week:

"Alex!! I think we should break up." She said with a straight face.

Flashback ends

I came out from my deep thoughts and I felt tears on my cheeks.
I can't do this anymore. It should end now.

I picked up my phone and texted Sophia

Me:
Let's meet at Per Se tonight 8 pm.
