Are you awake ?
Can you come outside ?
I stared at the messages on my phone for a few minutes unsure if I should answer or not, I actually didn't want to talk to him at all, but I knew that he knew that I was still awake and on my phone
It had been almost a week since my talk with Amara and I had successfully avoided Aryan every single day so far but I also knew that he tried to talk to me, I just didn't know how to talk to him
While I really didn't want to talk to him I also really wanted to know what he would say, so I, as quietly as I could, got up from my bed and slipped my feet into my slippers I looked around to Dior and Leah to find both of them asleep before getting up and creeping up to the door
I quietly closed the door behind me and turned around to Aryan already standing in the hallway looking at me
"Belle" I pulled my eyes away from him and crossed my arms, I heard him sigh in the quiet hallway "roof ?" I just shrugged, we went up to the rooftop where we again just stood in silence
I sat down, leaning my back against the railing and looking up to the sky
"I'm sorry" I stayed quiet again, I didn't know what to say to him "I understand that you're mad about this I mean we were just broken up and it was stupid-" I frowned and turned to him
"I don't care that you were fake dating Aryan, we are broke up you can date or fake date whoever the hell you want I'm pissed about the fact that you weren't the one who told me" I finally said finishing with a shaky breath, obviously I did care who he was dating. I cared a lot. But I couldn't tell him that "I understand that we are not that close anymore, I fucked up, I get it but I thought we were still close enough for you to tell me something like this, why was she the one who told me and not you Aryan ? I thought
we were still sunshine and starlight after all" it was his turn in being quiet now"I know, I'm sorry I panicked, you were never meant to see the post, no one was"
"Aryan"
"Yeah"
"When did this start ?"
"You know what ? I'm gonna tell you all of it Belle"
"You don't need to Aryan, we're- we're broken up you don't owe me an explanation"
"I know. I know but I don't care, look remember the girl my aunt was telling me about ?"
"It's Amara isn't it ?"
"Yeah, after my aunt found out that we broke up she didn't even talk to me about it, she invited her and her mother over so we had to talk, this was like a little over a week after we had broken up so that whole situation was just really fucked up anyways" I leaned my head on the railing behind me and looked at the stars just so I wouldn't have to look at him "well, Amara and I talked a little and I told her that I'm not interested and she said that she isn't either and that she has a girlfriend.... Her mother didn't know that, she said that she wouldn't approve of it but that she was getting suspicious, so we decided just so that they would stop bothering us to pretend to date, hang out a bit, so they would just leave us alone and Amara and I got along well, you met her she's really nice and so is her girlfriend" I felt a raindrop hit my face and frowned a little at the sky, another one hit my arm and both of us realised that it started raining, we didn't move though, it didn't bother any of us. I didn't really know what to say to his story
"Aryan-"
"It was never meant to reach anyone besides our family's, I don't know how that insta post blew up so much but I wasn't expecting it and then you asked me about it and I panicked" I blinked letting the rain run over my face "and I- for a second it felt good seeing that that affected you, because I didn't know what happened and why you broke up with me because you never gave me an explanation about it" I felt some tears mixing with the rain at this point
"I told you, the distance..."
"Come on, I know it wasn't just because of the distance, I know that there's more to it than you told me but I don't know what it is. So yeah, I enjoyed seeing that you still cared about it... about us, but I didn't realise how much saying that one thing was actually gonna affect everything and I didn't realise that it might actually hurt you and I'm sorry" a cold wind blew through the night making me shiver slightly at the mix with the rain
"Aryan it's fine, we should get inside" i stood up from the floor, him doing the same
"No. I can't stand the fact that you're not talking to me anymore Belle, I need us to talk this through now" he grabbed my hand to stop me walking away, I lowered my gaze to our hands, his hand in mine felt so natural, I was so glad that he couldn't identify my tears with the rain "just tell me the real reason why you broke up with me Belle"
"It's not important Aryan"
"It is important to me"
"It was just too much"
"Belle"
"I told you already"
"No, that's not it and you know it isn't"
"Aryan"
"Just talk to me Belle, please"
"Why won't you just drop this ?" We were both yelling at this point, raising our voices against the rain
"Because I'm still in love with you Belle and every second that I see you and know that I lost you it's actually causing me physical pain, I just want an explanation. Did you fall out of love ?" He still loved me ?
"No... of course not..."
"Then what was it ?" I just looked at him, tears streaming down my face and mixing with the rain that was pouring down on us at this point
"I'm too much okay ?" The rain hiding my tears didn't do me any good anymore, because that I was crying became so clear through my shaky voice
"What ?"
"There was so much going on in my life, constantly. Jason, Valeria, Darcy, I got stalked by my ex, betrayed by my best friend, drugged at a party and had my best friend die on me all within half a year Aryan, my life is a mess and I just kept pushing my problems onto you and I couldn't do it anymore, you deserve someone better than me Aryan, someone who knows how to help themselves and who treats you as amazing as you deserve, I couldn't do all that, I needed to learn how to help myself and not call you for everything. I'm sorry that I couldn't be the girlfriend you deserved and I am so sorry that I hurt you"
