Chapter Twenty One - Hurt

Ray's Pov

"Yeah," I say before even thinking.

Dani's face turns from blank to hurt, then it turns blank again.

Holy shit. Why did I have to say that?!

Actually, when I started dating Danina- if that's called an actual date- I never really thought anything about playing her or not. I had forgotten that I was a player, until now.

So why did I have to say that?!

Obviously to keep your reputation as a player.

Damn you, ego of mine.

"I thought so," she smiles weakly. "After all, you're a player and I'm not an exception to that case."

"Dani-"

"So don't you ever say that I should've chosen you over Josh," she spits. "After all, I'd be more heartbroken than I am now if I had chosen you."

"C'mon-" She cuts me off yet again.

"It's time to go now, isn't it?" She says with a fake smile plastered on her face.

Before I get the chance to say anything, she gets up and gets to the car, carrying the basket with her.

I let out an annoyed sigh and get up. I take the blanket and get inside my car, where Dani was already seated.

I start the engine, making my car roar to life. On the way to Dani's house, there was nothing but an awkward silence lingering.

I pull up next to Dani's house.

She gets out of the car. "Thanks." And she walks to her house, not waiting for my reply.

I bang my hand against the sterring wheel.

When did my life get so complicated?

Dani's Pov

It hurt.

It really hurt when I realised that Ray was a player and that he'd play me too.

Of course, this was expected. But I had forgotten that Ray was a player. He was really nice and fun that I had forgotten.

I should've known what was coming. If only I kept the fact that he was a player in my mind, then I wouldn't be hurt like this.

Why am I even hurt?

That's the big question.

I thought that breaking up with Josh would make everything back to normal again, but no. It just seemed to become worse.

How can he make me happy at one time and mad, hurt and upset the next?

He must be a sorcerer.

Yeah, right. I can just imagine him with a pointy hat and a cloak in a dark place, mixing potions together.

I laugh.

See what I told you about him making me feel happy and then mad and then happy again?

This is so infuriating.

Josh'sPov

I stare at the ground, hard.

Danina.

How could she break up with me with no reason at all?

How could she do this to me?

That's rich, coming from someone who cheated on her.

Okay, maybe that voice is right. But she should've given me a reason, at least.

What if she knew that I cheated on her?

Nah. That won't be it, cause knowing her, she'd probably hit me if she found out.

I look up at the sky now.

Melissa.

I could still remember her words when I told her that I actually loved Danina, not her.

"Why? Why, Josh? I love you! I love you so much, damn it! If you don't really love me, why did you tell me that you did?! If you hadn't, I wouldn't have hoped that you would choose me and wouldn't be as heartbroken as I am now! How could you do this to me after all that?!"

I close my eyes, the image of Melissa crying when she said that not leaving my mind.

She looked and she was so heartbroken. Her tears were spilling and I had really wished to go wipe them and tell her that I loved her, but I couldn't. Because I was convinced that I actually loved Danina.

So why am I more hurt by the fact that I broke Melissa's heart than Dani dumping me?

I could always run back to Melissa now that Dani dumped me, but I won't. I can't just run to her because I was dumped. I'm better than that.

I erase all my thoughts and head to the parking lot.

As I reach my car, I see Ray driving away in his car with Dani.

She moved on that fast?

Seriously, how could she?

I shake my head and turn to see Melissa heading out of the school building with a guy.

Melissa's face was red, she was probably crying, but she still looked beautiful as always. The guy was holding her hand and whispering things to her ear, making her nod.

Now, that, made me clench my fists and grit my teeth.

So maybe I was jealous, but that doesn't mean that I was actually in love with her and not Dani.

Or, was I?

+++++

Yeah, a very short chapter. But that's okay considering I updated twice in one day, right? :D

Plus, I added Josh's and Ray's POVs!

Happy?

LoL.

K, so you!!
