A/n Here's a Part two guys It's been a while but here it is hope you guys like it and yes this is the last part of it so be prepared it will emotional and a bit of  a mess 

The moon hung low in the sky, casting a soft glow through the window as Belly sat on the edge of her bed

The way her fingers nervously twisted together, the weight of her decision pressing down on her chest

Across from her, Jeremiah sat, his eyes filled with confusion, disbelief, and a growing sense of hurt

"Belly... what are you saying?" Jeremiah's voice was quiet, almost as if he couldn't believe what was happening "Are you—are you breaking up with me?"

Belly's throat tightened as she nodded, her heart aching with every word she knew she had to say

 "I'm sorry, Jeremiah... I just don't think this is working anymore."

The silence between them was thick, suffocating. Jeremiah's face seemed to fall, but he was still holding on to some semblance of hope, his voice trembling slightly

 "But why? What did I do wrong? You—you don't think I love you?"

Belly shook her head, tears threatening to spill over as she struggled to form the words

 "No, it's not that... It's just... I don't feel the same way anymore I tried, I really did... but I can't keep pretending."

Jeremiah leaned forward, his brows furrowed in frustration. "So what? You don't love me anymore? Just like that?"

"I'm so sorry, Jere. But no..." Belly choked out, her voice breaking as she tried to find a way to explain the unexplainable

"I just... I've been feeling like something's been missing for a while. And I don't think we're right for each other."

Jeremiah stood up abruptly, his hands clenched into fists at his sides

His eyes narrowed as he stared at her, but there was more hurt in them than anger—though both emotions were battling within him

 "So is this about Conrad?" he asked, his voice rising slightly "Is that what this is? You want him instead of me?"

Belly's breath hitched, and she shook her head, trying to soften the blow

 "It's not just about Conrad. It's not about anyone else... It's about me. It's about what I need, and I don't think I can give you what you deserve anymore."

Jeremiah's face reddened, and for a moment, he looked as if he might explode

 "You're telling me this isn't about him? He's out there right now, Belly. Right outside! And you expect me to believe you're not choosing him over me?"

"Jeremiah, no!" Belly stood up, desperation creeping into her voice as she reached out to him

 "It's not like that. I never wanted to hurt you. I just—"

"Why are you lying to me?" Jeremiah snapped, his voice breaking. He stepped back, pacing a few steps before spinning around to face her again

"You don't want me anymore because of him, do you? You've always wanted Conrad. You've always been in love with him. And I... I was just here to fill the space, wasn't I? You never really wanted me."

"Jere, no," Belly said softly, her voice full of sorrow

She took a step toward him, but he stepped away, shaking his head as if to block her out

 "I never meant to make you feel like that."

"Then why?" Jeremiah demanded, his voice rising in anger now
