Meant to Be His❤❤❤

chapter 27

Fiona

It seemed that my oxygen was stripped off me, the moment I walked to our porch. I was greeted by a sight that I have never imagined I would walk in to. Aside from the gorgeous blond, whom you may easily mistaken as an A and F model seated with Aunt Amy, my asshole of an ex boyfriend, Jeremy, was seated next to them. What on earth was he doing here when he wanted nothing from me the last time we saw each other? He did not give us a chance. He said we would never work at long distance. I was hoping we could have tried, at least. He was my first boyfriend. And my first heartbreak. Thank god I knew Matthew when I was already over him. And now he has confessed that he is gay!

Now I realized and putting things together in my mind during our time. He was a jock but he was never a fan of the cheerleaders. I am now guessing he would have enjoyed watching his team mates and ogled at them at their locker room than flirt with the girls.I didn't hear any girl he got associated with except for me. We kissed and made out but he never insisted going all out, ever.

He may have broken my heart but this realization make me feel compassion and forgiveness towards him. Who am I to judge? And making this huge effort to talk to me in person and have a closure, is the most manly a guy can do, in my books.

"Oh Jeremy!", I blurted and hold both his hands on his lap. I can't tell him I'm sorry, because I am not. Actually, I'm sort of proud of him to finally let go and face what he truly is.

His tears were actually falling freely now.

"I'm so sorry Fi, if I made you feel like I just used you. But believe it or not. I did love you during our time together. You are the most extraordinary woman I've ever met, that's why I fell for you. Hard. But, but..."

"I understand", I cut him off.

"When you told me you were going to York for your scholarship, I thought this was exactly the time that I was waiting for. For us to have a break, because I've been having these weird feelings which I have been in denial for quite a while. But god I missed you so much. The first two weeks were like hell. We've been literally together almost every day for two straight years. Then suddenly you were out of my reach. I could have flewn the first flight to see you. But, I was held back by the thought that, I could have hurt you more."

"I've been through hell, too, the first few days. You broke my heart", I told him as I, too, am in tears now listening to his confession.

"I know. And I will be forever sorry and will do my best to make it up to you until you have forgiven me."

He looked me through his eyes with full remorse. He was holding my hands too tight that I know he was hoping to convey how sorry he was to have hurt me. And I was never the type of person to be hard on someone even if they have wronged me.

Jeremy was forcing his sob to stop, as he reached out an arm in an act to hug me.

I readily obliged and hugged him too, while patting his back and told him, it's gonna be okay.

We were facing each other attentively oblivious to someone rushing to the scene and before I knew it, Jeremy was plucked from my clutch and Matthew already punched him squarely on the face.

I was caught unaware and I was screaming Matthew's name to stop, as Jeremy was not in any way fighting him.

Aunt Amy and Harvey rushed outside leaving a loud sound off the door as they hurriedly came out to check on the commotion.

Harvey went directly towards Jeremy and asked worriedly if he was okay, while glaring at a pissed off Matthew.

Jeremy struggled on his feet and reached out for the white hankie Harvey retrieved from his pocket.
