Chapter 17- Ranveer's Confession

Sooo sorry for the super long wait. I was just so busy with my life. And for that this will be a super long chapter ☺️
----------------------------------------------
Priyanka's POV:

Ranveer dragged me to the small clearing between the trees while holding my wrist tightly enough to give me a bruise for weeks. As soon as we reached, he whirled me around to face him. His eyes held anger and pain. I didn't even know why he was so mad at me. What was even my fault.

Ranveer's POV:

All I could see was red when I saw Sameer touch MY girl. How dare he! Without thinking about the consequences, I dragged Priyanka over to this secret clearing that only Kabir and I knew about. I whipped her around to face me and saw her face filled with confusion. Her eyes held un-shed tears. For a few seconds we just looked at each other. Then I noticed her fidgeting. I looked down at her wrist that had my hand around it. It was slowly turning a bright shade of red. I gasped and quickly let go. I watched as Priyanka's expression turned from neutral to one that was full of pain. I quickly but delicately raised it up so I could have a better look at it. My fingerprints were etched onto her wrist. I felt so guilty as I watched tears roll down Priyanka's cheeks. I immediately pulled her closer to me and wiped her tears of with my thumbs. She raised her head to look at me with her teary eyes and I felt like punching myself. I slowly ran my hands around her wrists in an attempt to reduce to swelling. I cupped her cheeks and raised her face to look at me.

"I am so sorry cupcake. I didn't know what came over me." I said while drowning in guilt.

"Why?" She asked me. 

That simple word made me realize the true reason of why I had done that. I had been jealous! I was in love with Priyanka Chatterji!

"Because... because I don't want to see you hurt. Sameer is not a good guy. He's a a bloody womanizer and I don't want to see you hurt." I replied passionately as I looked deeply into her eyes.

"Why?" She asked me again. "Why do you not want me to be hurt. Hum apke hai kon?"

"You are one of my best friends. I care for you deeply. I don't want you to get hurt because it will ruin you forever. I want you to stay the way you are." I softly said.

"I'm just a friend to you?" She asked me hurt.

I nodded not able to meet her eyes. Here I was trying to protect her but she was trying to figure out why I cared.

She turned abruptly and began walking back towards the school. I knew she would be going back to the dance room to pick up her stuff. I also knew that Sameer would be there, waiting for girls to take home every day.

"Priyanka stop! You can't go back. It's time to go now. Don't go back in there!" I yelled to her disappearing figure.

She turned and walked back to where I was standing.

"Why? Why can't I go get my things. School's over. Nobody will be there now." She said to me with anger in her eyes.

"Sameer will be there waiting for girls to take home." I said disgust evident in my voice. "I don't want you to be one of them.

"WHY?!? Why do YOU care?"she screamed at me with tear filled eyes.

"Because I LOVE YOU DAMMIT!!" I finally said.  I collapsed onto the ground."Ever since I saw you. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Your eyes, your smile, the way you talk, the way you fight with me. I didn't even know I did, until you first asked me "why". I never want to see you get hurt. I get jealous when I see you with Sameer. It hurts when you are not talking to me. Priyanka, you are the girl that brightens up my life. I am nothing without you. I love you and I will continue to do so until my last breath. And even after that." I said with tears spilling down my face.

I looked up to see her shocked face looking back at me. For a second I saw a glimmer of a smile on her face but it quickly went away. Did she not want me to love her?

I watched in pain as she slowly turned and walked away in a zombie-like state. I looked down and continued to sob, wishing she was here to hold me. The girl I loved more than life itself, didn't love me back. My life had no meaning to it anymore.
