Hating You, Loving You.

*Prologue*

The 11th of February 2022.

Bella's POV:-

Today is Promise Day and here I am standing in front of him with no particular reason than to promise my love for him.

I chuckled humourlessly trying to relieve the tension between both of us as I stood in front of him awkwardly. I lifted my gaze and I saw the same handsome familiar face, the face that I used to touch lovingly when he was asleep. His eyes, those were the same amber eyes which once held an intense love for me, and now they were empty. His pink lips, which once used to kiss me passionately and drive me insane, for the first time were in a thin line. A few hairs were falling in the sight of his eyes making him look undeniably unintentionally handsome. It brought back memories of when I used to stroke the same hair.

I looked into his eyes searching for an emotion, but they held none. His jaw was clenched. His fingers balled in a fist. It looked like he would rather be somewhere else than standing in front of me. He looked at anywhere me. I guess now my presence was irritating him.

"Happy Promise Day, Lord of Jealousy" I wished him with a beaming smile.

"Bella, I think we need to talk," he said in a serious tone. My smile dropped. He never calls me Bella except for the time he was either mad at me or wanted to talk about something serious. I was scared of what he was going to say. Scared that he might say something which my heart wouldn't be able to handle. I have never seen him like this before. He was always in a cheerful mood but today, something feels off about him.

"Y-Ya su-sure." I tried to sound normal but my voice betrayed me. It came out weak because I was afraid of what he was gonna say next.

"I think we should end our relationship," he said. For a second, it felt like the world stopped. I couldn't believe my ears. I think I heard something wrong.

"You did hear correctly. I said I think we should end our relationship." He repeated himself, clearing my thoughts.

I stood there powerlessly unable to do anything. I was still in shock. His words were ringing in my head on a repeating loop. My heart was shattered into a million pieces by his words. A tear rolled down my cheek followed by another one. I was having a panic attack. I was so close to breaking down.

No Bells, not right now. Stay strong. You have to be strong.
1........2,..... 3,.......4,.......5,.......6,........7......., .......8,.......9,......10.

I counted to 10 to get myself relaxed.

As soon as I got myself together, I brought myself to ask him with all the courage I could muster up.

"Wh-Why? I m-mean.....w-why? We both were happy.....t-together. H- having fun and en-enjoying our time with each other......I thought everything was fine and going great Why? Did- did I do something wrong? I- I am so-sorry, I- I won't do an-anything a-again. Please......Pl-please don't leave me like this. Please don't end our relationship like this. What's wrong? Tell me....... I will try to solve the problem but please don't leave me. Give me a chance please." I tried to ask him between the sobs. Pleading him to give me a chance.

"Why? Why you ask? You have made my life so complicated Bella. I want a Simple life. I feel so suffocated because of you. I am not able to breathe freely as I used to. Our relationship, you are feeling a burden to me these days. So please leave me alone. I think I am not ready for a relationship yet. And don't contact me again. It's over. I need time to process all these things." he answered. At this point, I couldn't breathe. I felt betrayed.

"So my Lord of Jealousy will never turn green eye again?" I chuckled humourlessly hoping he would say yes.

"It will, I still love you but need time," he answered walking away from me.

In the end, it was me who lost. The game of love I tried so hard to win was now over, broken and fell apart into millions of pieces.

His words will always linger in my mind 'I still love you but I need time.'

I shouldn't have made a wrong decision back then. I could have prevented this matchmaking disaster.

I lost him. I lost my first and only love.

I lost Alex.
