They D̶o̶n̶t̶ Know About Us // Niley

Chapter Nine

I looked at him and waited for his response. I looked into his eyes hoping he'd just say something.

He stared into my eyes like he was trying to read me.

And i wished right there i could just die so the moment will be less intense. At least that way he doesn't have to look at me like he's asking me 'how should i reply?'.

I felt tears building up in my eyes, why did i say it to him in the first place?

This is not a fairytale and he probably wouldnt say he loved me back, how could i fall into thinking that he would?

I was being naïve.

Now i had to suffer from heartbreak.

His gaze sofen as he finally broke the silence.

"I love you too,"

My heart leaped.

Somehow its like the sun just sets into my life and everything seems bright.

It's like all that's left to do now is just let myself fall deeper in love with him.

As of from now i'm ready to fall and i know he'll be catching me. And he would hold me when i cry and gave me reasons to smile.

So i wasnt naïve, So he loved me back, i wanted to burst into happy tears and just kissed him.

He leaned closer to my ear and whispered

"But we cant be together,"

I froze.

Everything froze.

I wished i have died right there on the spot.

My heart legitimately broke into a million pieces.

I was wrong.

I really was naïve.

And all those thoughts of how he could be putting me back up just to knock me down came crashing me like rocks in the wave.

A little voice in my head whispered 'i told you so,' as the rest of my body is running down the fire escape like it knows this will be the death of me.

"What?" I said, my voice shaky and raspy.

"I'm not letting myself hurt you again," he explained, but it just adds to my pain.

I started breathing heavily, i cant believe he's saying these words.

"You not being with me hurts me more," I replied, and i couldnt help but to bit my lip before i start bawling.

"I'm sorry," He said "but you know this is the only way we could work,"

"There's always a choice, Nick," I told him.

"Apparently not in this case,"

"Then I dont wanna go through with this any longer if you're going to keep treating my like this," i protested, sitting up from the bed as i held the covers over my chest.

"You think i like treating you like this? like i'm doing this on purpose?" He shot back, as he pull himself up and sat beside me.

"Uh yeah, since it's all you ever did! How am i supposed to know you're able to do anything else or feel anything else towards me when the only thing you want from me is sex?!" I yelled.

His eyes widened "Well you should've said something!"

"I tried but you'd always start nailing me again!" I felt tears forming in my eyes.

His shoulder lumped back and he sighed in defeat "Then tell me now," He said and i could tell there's a hint of rage in his voice.

"It doesnt matter anymore," I said in a softer tone. "It's too late,"

"No it's not," he replied.

I shook my head "I already know there's no way we could be together," I said "you told me that, why should i even try?"

He looked down and ran his hand through his curls. "I honestly dont know,"

I scoffed.

"You're such a wuss!" I said at the top of my lungs. His head snapped back to face me "Wha-"

"-You waited so long just to say you love me," I said "And when you did you said we can't be together!"

"Why are you so fucking afraid to fall in love?!" I continued. "And you're afraid you'll end up hurting me when you're hurting me right now, Why cant you understand that?!"

"Stop that!" He protested.

"What?!"

"Stop treating me like i'm a door prize that you need so desperately to won!" He said raising his voice.

"You think i'm trying to win you!?" I demanded

"Yeah, you're trying to steal me away from Olivia!"

"Oh my God, Nick!" I shouted "Why are you making this about her?!"

"Because i know you think she's keeping me away from you!" He said angrily. "Like she's the biggest problem!"

"You're the motherfucking problem, Nick! You're the one whose playing me and turning a complication into one huge mess!" I yelled

"You make everything harder, when you should've been making them easier!"

"Me?! What about you?! You keep putting me in trouble with your leaving early and fake pregnancy-"

"That pregnancy wasn't my fault-"

"You made me lie to Olivia and-"

"Stop," I mumbled as I felt tears run down my cheeks and "Please just stop!"

His mouth left hung open as he watched me sob quietly "Miley, Im sorry,"

"If you dont want to be with me, will you please just.." I gulped down the lump in the throat and wiped my cheek "..leave"

"Miley, I'm sorry," He said trying to pull me into a hug but i flinched away at his touch.

"Just go,"

He looked at me apologetically "Miley,"

"Please, just.." I sniffed "Leave!" i raised my voice at the end. I covered my face and pulled my knees to my chest.

"I'm sorry"

I ignored him and closed my eyes tighter as I felt the mattress shake.

I heard footsteps walking away and the sound of my door opening.

When i raised my head slowly i noticed his clothes that was on the floor had disappeared.

And just like that, he's gone.

For good this time.
