Lovers But Not Lovers

Chapter 29- Heartbroken and Deceived

***Salvatore's POV**
It's been over a year since I and Des has been best friends.
Although we've had fights that wasn't caused by internal differences, we were still close.

My family and hers has been really close this past few months and believe me when I say she is getting more beautiful by the moment.

Willers has graduated high school leaving us in our finals and she has moved to the university of Toronto where she is aspiring in becoming a accountant.

It's been three weeks since she left and two weeks since we became finals seniors.

I and Des, thanks to my mom has been going to school together and Des birthday is coming up in the next three months when she'll turn 18.

It's been really fun this couple of months and oh well, her relationship with Harden still stands.

She insisted that we do only best friend stuffs and no more kissing and all that..I haven't tasted her lips in like six months now and believe me it's killing me.. when everyday I see harden kiss her and hold her.

She doesn't even want to be in the same room as me. And it's annoying.

Anyways I quiet me thoughts as I get dressed for school. I put on my black jeans, and a black T-shirt and a red and black strip flannel.. and lastly black boots.

I go downstairs to see Des waiting for me in the sitting room. She has a black mini jean skirt and a crop top T-shirt and white canvas.

"You set?". She asks on seeing me.
"Yeah, just gotta grab a few bite for the road". I say and head to the kitchen.

I take out the chicken sandwich my mom left behind and a water bottle of orange juice.

We sit in my car and by then I'm done with the sandwich and I reach for the ignition.

She put in her earphones to avoid me as usual but I'm not having it today. We need to talk.

I start the car and hit for the road after placing my water bottle in it's space and also my phone in the second space.

"Des, we need to talk". I tell her, after ten minutes in the road with absolute silence.

I reach for her headphones and repeat my words. She looks at me for a moment and stops the music and remove her headphones.

"What is it?" She asks looking my way.
"You've been avoiding me". I start by stating the obvious.

"No. I've not". She says, still looking at me.
"You have. You done talk to me, you don't even look at me in school. Like what the hell?". I say, completely angry at the fact that she is denying this.

"Are you yelling at me?" She asked, glaring at me.
"I'm sorry, okay? But..." I'm cut off by her.

"You don't yell at me when it's your fault, okay?. Im not the one ignoring you. Maybe you forgot to tell me something important thereby indirectly stating the fact that 'im not important to know'. So forgive me if I'm taking the cue you left behind ". She says completely angry and burning up.

And by this time I arrive at the parking lot of our school.

"What are you talking about?". I ask her after killing the engine.

"Don't play dumb with me, Salvatore" She says using my full name, then I know something is really up.

"Des?. The hell are you aiming at?" I asked careful with my words in order not to make her leave as she has already swung her backpack on her shoulder.

"You know what I'm done talking". She says and was about to exist.. hell no.

I locked the car doors. We finish this discussion today.

"I asked a question, Des". I say getting annoyed at this point.

"You want to know?. Fine. You fucked her. You tell me you don't love her then you fucked her".
I was confused. Wait, is she...? No way, she found out.

Okay, this last months has been hell for me,but emotionally and sexually. I had to take out my sexual tension by fucking Erica and yeah I know dick move, but I was drunk I swear I thought it was her but figured out it wasn't after I had fucked her and wanted to cuddle her up...

I smelt her neck and I knew that she wasn't Des. I had been filled with anger and guilt since that day.

I had been looking for a way to tell her but it's either she's on a date with harden or with the girls. And each time I saw her with harden I get really angry and think that yeah, we are even.

But her bringing it up now, hell no. I'm fucked.

"Des, it wasn't supposed to happen. You were distance. I tried calling, texting nothing worked. Physically you literally avoided me".

"Hell I would avoid you over and over again. Gosh, I'm so stupid. To think you actually meant it when you said you didn't love her. You know what?  That doesn't matter because I fucked Harden". She said looking at me.

I felt the earth stop. She..?

"You fucked Harden. Really?  And you expect me to believe that?". I ask on the brink of tears.

"Yeah, I did. And it doesn't matter if you believe it or not. I love him that much". She said.

I put my head on the steering wheel and unlocked the doors, I felt a tear drop.

"You can go". I say as I raise my head to look at her.
She looked at me from anger to worry but I was way to heartbroken to bother.

"Go. He's waiting for you". I say as I point towards harden standing at his regular spot waiting for her, till he spots my car.

She was still looking at me.

"Go, Desiree". I say her full name, I didn't realize I said it until I noticed the look in her eyes turned to that if hurt.

She looked at me one more time before alighting.

I broke down.

I didn't mean to do it, but because of that she gave her body away and I can swear that harden I with her for the same purpose.

When I asked her to be my best friend I wanted to protect her from guys that use girls body and dump them.

Call me a hypocrite, I know. Erica is literally a whore. I loved her once till she broke my trust the same way Des just did but hers is more painful.

And I mean Des. When Erica's ordeal happened I thought that was real pain but right now I feel like I cant breathe..

I clean my eyes and use a face towel to dry my face. I wait out until my eyes turn white again and I got down from my car.

I'll have to get through today, one way or another.

I thought we were close. When willers left she acted normal. Everything was fine.

Yes up until a week after willers left. She became distant. I think that was also three days after we resumed school.

There was a welcome back party. I was drunk. No wait, I was drugged. I remember.

I was drunk because even a drunk me could recognize Erica from a mile away not to think of fucking her.

She drugged me drink. Why?.  And how did Des find out I slept with her.

Something is wrong and I'll find out what.
