"And stop biting your lips!" -Aiden Castro #HTBAiden's POV:
"I was never drunk! What the hell I never dru- wait." Tessa's eyes widened in shock. "You aren't talking about the freshman's year? Or-" She sounded horrified. "Are- are you?"
I sighed and nodded.
"Freshman's year it is." I answered.
"WHAT THE HELL. THAT WAS THE FIRST AND LAST TIME I GOT DRUNK. UGHH!" Tessa shouted on top of her lungs.
"Shut up!" I covered my ears. "You're still the same stupid girl like you were four years ago!" She stopped and glared at me.
"Excuse m-"
"Yes!" I got up. "You're so naive Tessa. I mean come on you got drunk for the first time for heaven's sake. Why did you even had the drinks at the first place? You're not a fool not to know there was high amount of alcohol mixed in every drink to make the students drunk in seconds. Still you did! You should have avoided so you wouldn't make any mistakes!"
Tessa was quite. She lowered her eyes and murmured a 'sorry'.
"You know anyone could take your advantage that night! It was good that you came in my room and I was angry because of something and I pushed you away before we get imitate." Tessa looked up, her cheeks turned into a light shade of pink. She was looking cute to be honest but what the fuck! I should be angry now.
I couldn't let her cute innocent face distract me. Fuck, she's herself a distraction.
"I'm sorry, Aiden." Tessa looked down again, biting her lips.
"And stop biting your lips!" She released her bottom lips and looked at me again. Her eyes turned glassy. "Why- you-" she blinked some tears. "Hey hey are you crying?" I sat near her, worried and panicked.
She jerked my hand away like a kid when it forwarded to wipe the tear. "You scolded me so badly!" She began to hit me. "I hate you so much! You're- you're so bad!" A laugh escaped my lips. She's so fucking tempting and she doesn't even know it. "And hey! Don't laugh!" I blinked and gave her a tight smile.
"Ok I ain't." But I was Infact, smiling.
She looked at me, smiling in return which actually made me happy. What's with her smiling that makes me happy. DAMM me.
It was just two seconds later when her bright face turned into a pale one. Her smile disappeared and her brows turned into a frown before she glared at me like she would kill me any chance she get. "Tess-"
"Shut.the.hell.up." She said in a low-hating voice. It hurts, okay. It freakings hurts like her words slapped me on face.
Once.
Twice.
Thrice.
"I hate you. So much. Aiden Castro." Tessa got up. "How can I forget what have you done to me!" Tears again began to form in her eyes. "I never saw anyone as cruel as you. You- you don't care about anyone! You only want your self satisfaction and revenge! You only care about yourself. You never ever care about anyone!"
I took a deep breath. Getting up on my feet which seem hard but I did it anyways. "I know Tessa and I apologize for it too."
"Yeah?" She crossed her arms. "Tell me what your apology will give me?" Her eyes were throwing daggers at me. "You had done everything wrong since the very first start!" She walked towards me. Oh so slowly, like a wild cat chasing her prey. "Why should I forgive you? And for how many things I should do it? Huh?" Her blue ocean-glassy eyes challenged me. "You are unforgivable person Aiden! You don't deserve anyone's apology!"
My hands reached for her arms before she could move away from me. I pulled her towards me, not wanting her to let go. If only I can take you in a tight embrace Tessa.
The moment felt silent. There was nothing just I and her, looking at eachother. Passion vs hate. Regret vs hate. Guilt vs hate.
Hate. Hate. Hate.
It was all I could see in her eyes.
But for a second, I saw emotions in her eyes. Pain. And I was the reason. She stared back at me with those defeated,innocent, angry eyes which were shouting, asking me what they has done to deserve this all. And I had no answer to it.
I was the culprit and she was the victim.
I ruined it.
I ruined every fucking thing!
"Leave me." Even though I held her lightly, Tessa demanded me to take my hands off her so she could move back. Oh my, sweet, sweet Tessa. Slowly, my fingers left her soft skin and instantly, she moved back like I was burning her.
"I'm so, so sorry Tessa. I didn't mean-"
"Save it." Her palms raised to stop me. "Save it for later." With one last angry-shattered look, she left the room. All of it felt so hollow, so numb, so empty like there was nothing inside of my room. Like she took everything away with her. With every step of her going away from me, she was taking my peace too. And she didn't even know it.
"I was sorry." I murmured. "I WAS SORRY! I ALWAYS FUCKING AM!" I shouted and scattered all the things decorated on my night stand. I picked the lamp and threw it on the wall. "WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAS TO BE ME WHO SUFFERERS!!" I punched the wall so hard that the blood started to come out of my hand. "WHY, WHY, WHY!?" But I kept punching.
I hate everything.
I hate myself.
I hate you Aiden Castro.
Tessa's words playing in my mind again and again. "AHHHHHHHH! I HATE MYSELF TOO!"
Tessa's POV:
As I walked out of the room after a painful conversation with the most hating person in my life, it didn't take me a second to lose my strength. I sat against the nearest wall and registered all the things that has happened till now. From the very first day Aiden kissed me then ruining my life day after day, then everything that made me close to him, made me care for him to the truth that was the reason. All the people behind this game even my mother who I trusted the most to his apology and regret.
"I was such a fool." I shook my head, burning it in my knees. "I'm so so stupid." I cried but the reality was that my eyes were so tired of crying now.
Whatever has happened. There was a reason.
"You're so nice Tessa." My mom said as I kept my books in my bad. "A girl stole your geometry box and you're here saying nothing."
"Maybe she was needy mom. Maybe she doesn't have enough money to buy all these. So what? I have. It's okay." I smiled and continued. Mom shook her head.
"My baby," she came and hugged me, kissing my head. "You're so mature in your childhood only." I smiled and looked up at her. "I'm 15 mom."
"You'll be a child for me. Always."
I grinned. "But still, you won't complain about the girl. We can't judge the book from its cover right mom?" She nodded, kissing my head once again.
"Okay baby."
I wiped my dry tears and got up. We can't judge a book by it's cover, I looked at Aiden's room's closed door. Nodding slightly, I left. So let's read the book.
