I'm in love with my bully (Leonetta)

Chapter 34 - Space

Violetta's POV

I yelled his name with all my power.

"Leon!" I shouted

He didn't stop. He just walked away. My heart broke into a million pieces as he did it. But he was right to do it. He could think anything of me and Tomas and he would be right. I can't blame him.

I tried to walk away but Tomas grabbed my arm.

"Let me go!" I shouted

"No! You need to give him some time!" He said

"All I need now is to stay away from you! Just leave me alone!" I shouted at him

"No Vilu I-" I cut him off

"It's Violetta to you" I said

"Violetta I didn-" I cut him off again

"Just stay away from me!" I shouted at him with all my anger and walked away.

I heard him yelling my name but I didn't care. All that matters now is Leon. He probably hates me right now. I need to find him.

I ran to the direction Leon left and searched for him. I really need to talk to him and clear things out.

Leon is my everything. I would never kiss Tomas, never in a million years. I hate him right now. I was telling him that I want to be friends, and he leaned in. I mean, he's such a jerk!

I walked around to find Leon. It hurts me to know that I made him feel bad, and not someone else. I guess he thinks I'm a bad person at this moment.

I was searching for Leon, and I finally found him sitting on a bench, alone, probably thinking.

I walked to him. As soon he heard the footsteps, he turned his head and looked at me.

He got up and when he was about to walk away, I talked to him

"Don't. Please I need to talk to you" I said to him

He stopped and walked to me with hurt in his eyes

"What? What do you want to say? That you love me? That Tomas leaned in? That you didn't expect he would lean in? What?" He said

"Leon, he leaned in, at that moment I was telling him how much I love you and then all of sudden, he leaned in. I looked away before he kisses me" I said to him

"Violetta, how can I believe you? I saw that you didn't pull away, I saw that you were holding hands, I saw it! And now you're telling me that what I saw is wrong?" He asked looking at me in disbelief

"I didn't kiss him and never will, why don't you believe me? I love you Leon, how could I ever kiss Tomas? I mean, yesterday, I didn't want to work with him, remember?" I reminded him

"So what? If you didn't want to work or be somewhere with him, why did you were together today?" He asked

I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out of it. He was right. It was wrong to hang out with Tomas from the beggining. I should know he would do this.

"Answer me" He said looking straight at my eyes

"Leon I..." I tried to say something, but I stopped

"Why? Why didn't you just tell me that Tomas is in love with you? Why? I could help! But you hid it from me! I can't believe you!" He said, full of hurt

"Leon, it was hard. Please understand me. I didn't want you to get you in trouble because then he would hurt you. And guess what? He did, but without you knowing anything!" I said

"I can't understand you Violetta. I would never hide from you if someone loves me. I would tell it to you from the first moment" He said

"Leon, please, believe me! I can't stand watching you hurt of something stupid Tomas did!" I said

"So it was stupid? If it was a kiss it would be still stupid?" He asked

"Leon, I never said that!"

"You know what? I don't even know why are you doing the things you're doing!" He said

"What do you mean?"

"You say you need time, you want to be friends, you say you love me, you almost kiss with Tomas...why are you doing this?" He asked

"I want to be friends, I need some time, I do love you, I didn't kiss with Tomas, I said it a million times!" I said to him

"Yeah, but it didn't look like that!" He said

I ignored what he said. I walked to him and grabbed his hands.

"Leon, please, forgive me" I said looking at him.

He was staring at our hands.

"I...erm...I...I...need some...time" He said and pulled his hands away from mine

"Time? I...understand then" I said and looked down

"What happened hurt me Violetta. I don't know if I'll get over it or not. I need some time"

I looked back at him. My eyes teared up.

"O...Okay...then...I will wait..." I said hesitating

"It might take long, I don't know how much time it will take me to forget it" He said

"Leon...I hope you...you understand how I felt when...when you...kissed Ludmila" I said and immediately looked down.

I tried to hold the tears. I can't hold them for long.

"I'll try. But now, I think we should keep some distance. Just write our song and nothing else" He said

Those words broke my heart. But I had to accept his decision. I hurt him. And now I have to see the concequences.

"It's for our own good to keep some distance Violetta. I need time. I don't know when I'll get over this, but I hope one day I will" He said

I was holding the tears

"Okay then..." I said still looking down

He looked at his phone

"I have to go. See ya tomorrow at the Studio" He said

"Bye" I said and he walked away

I stood there. Heartbroken. From what just happened.

I couldn't hold the tears any longer and I let them fall down.

They were all over my face. His words hurt me a lot. But I need to accept that. He accepted my decision when I wanted to stay away from him, I have to do it too. It will be so hard.

Leon. My Leon wants some distance from me. Wants time. I can't believe that my life can't end happily.

But when he's ready, I won't. I want to be his friend right now, but I don't know if I want to be his girlfriend.

We will be friends again one day. And one other day, we will be together. I hope so.

Leon wants some distance. I'll give it to him and fix things. We'll be friends and someday maybe together.

He needs time...
