I asked her with concern, trying to understand what was going on. "Atleast tell me what happened??"

But her response was like a slap in the face. "You don't know what happened," she started laughing, a bitter, mocking sound. "If I broke off with you, then it's over. Why do you want to interfere in my life every now and then?" Her words stung hard, like a whip lashing across my heart.

I felt a pang of regret and realization. I had been so caught up in my own emotions, my own desires, that I hadn't stopped to consider how my actions might affect her.

"It's over!!" she emphasized, her voice rising. "I wanted to take part in the fest, but because of you, I can't." She threw her hand up in frustration. "Because you threatened everyone yesterday that not to even look at me."

I winced, feeling a wave of shame wash over me. I had been so possessive, so controlling, that I had ruined her chances at the fest. I had ruined her happiness.

Her words cut deep, and I could see the pain and desperation in her eyes as she started crying out.

"Everyone is running away from me, they feel like if they talk to me, it'll threaten their life, because I was your girlfriend," she sobbed. "With whom am I supposed to dance now? The pairing for dance is senior and junior, you can't help me because you're a fresher, and people are already scared of you. Do you even understand what that means?"

I felt a lump form in my throat as I realized the extent of the damage I had caused. I had been so blind, so consumed by my own emotions, that I hadn't considered the consequences of my actions. I had isolated her, made her a pariah, and now she was paying the price.

I wanted to reach out, to comfort her, but I knew I had no right. I had broken her trust, and I didn't know how to fix it. All I could do was stand there, helpless, as she cried out her pain and frustration.

Her words were like a slap in the face, and I felt my head drop in shame as she shouted at me.

"It means that you're like a mafia guy that everyone is scared of, and it's not a compliment! Things like this are good in books, but not in real life!" she yelled, her voice echoing through the campus.

I felt my face burn with embarrassment as everyone continued to stare at us. Joshua Beck, the tough guy, the one people feared and avoided, was now getting scolded by his girlfriend in front of everyone.

I knew I had gone too far, that my actions had consequences, and now I was facing the music. Eva's words cut deep, and I knew I had to listen, to understand the harm I had caused.

I took a deep breath, trying to process everything, as Eva's words hung in the air, a stark reminder of my mistakes.

I heard her scream, "Leave!! And we're over now!" and I knew I had no choice but to walk away. I turned around, my heart heavy with regret, and left.

As I walked, I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, like someone had slapped my heart so hard it hurt. I felt like crying, like breaking down right there in front of everyone.

I knew what I had done was wrong. I had let my possessiveness and jealousy consume me, and now I had lost the one person I cared about. It was over, not just from her side, but from mine too.

I threw myself into my work, trying to distract myself from the thoughts of Eva that lingered in my mind. Days turned into weeks, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of emptiness. I saw her every day on campus, and I found myself drawn to her like a magnet.
