Juliet saved the Bad Boy (COMPLETED)

SIXTEEN

JULIET

I looked at him, like.. really looked at him. Trying to figure out how one person can be that vile.. that heartless. And how he easily covered it up with this great boyfriend act.

"L-let me explain.." He managed to speak out and walked towards me.

But before he can take a step, I stopped him.

"Not here..Jeremy's resting." I said lowering my gaze from him, I couldn't bear to look at him.

It just not the same anymore.

"Let's go to the beach, we'll talk there. J-Just not in my home, okay?" I pleaded him as I led the way out.

He followed me his footsteps barely making any sound. He opened his car and we both got in.

Throughout the drive, I was thinking of things I wanted to ask him, questions I wanted answers to. Being naive and oblivious was just.. it was just too much that I had to end it. I had to stop being so damn foolish. I couldn't even look at him the way I used to, he didn't brighten my day anymore, he dampened it. He didn't make my heart race anymore, instead it introduced me the solemn wave crashing into my heart silently yet harshly.

After a few minutes, we finally got to the beach. I stepped out as fast as I could and went near the shore, this was the place where we first started. The place where we hoped we could start again, the place where we learned to care and to feel again despite of the cards we were dealt with. For a moment, I began to question it. But I begged myself to be a fool this one last time-- I willed myself to keep its memory pure and unstained. I wanted something good to remember him by. Like the way I felt when we laid there under the stars.

He caught up to me and settled beside me as I looked faraway.

"I don't need the full story, Luke. I knew why it happened, how it happened..I knew my brother's reasons why he endured to go through that." I said quietly.

Honestly, I had no energy in me to get angry or to even throw a fit. I wanted him to see that I've come to terms of what a monster he was. Making him see how he hurt me would just bring him satisfaction, and I wasn't allowing that. I kept the anger bottled up the way I usually do. 

"I need to know your reasons, it's the only thing i'm asking of you.. we promised no secrets, please honor that promise now." I said slightly pleading him as I turned to see him.

His golden locks was swiftly swaying in the air, his eyes shining with so much vulnerability. His chest was heaving up and down.

"I- I di-d it because I had no choice.. I wanted to carry the weight my mom's been carrying. Dad has been pestering me these past few weeks of becoming a lawyer, but my heart was set on being a Doctor. H-he threatened to stop supporting me, it was the only choice I have. The partnership and the benefits in that fraternity was the only thing I had.. so I held unto it.." He said his voice cracking towards the end.

So.. future too huh? Just how far can people go for something uncertain.

"I was so mad, that I had to turn to them for help. I was so high that I didn't care whether who I was hurting, whether how much he was hurting.. I was selfish I know, but I was fighting for my future.." He said as his eyes turned glassy, he looked up at the sky and inhaled heavily.

"B-but then you came. You saved me when I knew I was better off gone to lighten my mom's load.. You saved me when I didn't believe I was worth saving.. I-I'm sorry I didn't tell you.. I-I was scared of losing you." he said as he walked closer to me and held my hands.

"You still did.. you were delusional to think that no matter what happens my love won't waiver.. you knew you were gonna lose me. It was just matter of time,Luke." I said trying to contain myself.
