Heartbreaker BOOK 2 after irresistible #COMPLETED

Chapter 26- Truth

I wanted to be away from it all, away from that situation, I was angry and hurt and I just needed to go anywhere away from Damien Franco. I felt a huge lump in my throat grow but I tried to swallow it back down before any tears could escape betraying myself into trying to hide that I wasn't okay.

It might have seemed like a small situation but to me it was big, it reopened past wounds. Stuff that I tried to bury deep down my mind which were now all slowly trying to resurface. I didn't want to feel this way so I closed my eyes as I felt Daniels hand reach out and hold mine, he was silent knowing too well I didn't want to speak.

Out of all people he thought to bring Katie? I clenched my fist together at the very thought remembering the burning hard stare I had given him. I opened my eyes looking up at the grey sky just like those clouds, my mind and insides were in a massive rage of chaos.

I needed to not let him win, even if he had hurt me I wouldn't show him I was in pain. Instead, I would go home, cuddle up-to my boyfriend and we would tease each other whilst watching movies.  I would pretend him being with Katie didn't bother me and that Katie didn't matter, that she was harmless and that all was in the past.

Daniel looked at me studying my plain emotionless face, he cleared his throat opening his mouth to speak, "There's this party at Cassandra's house now, want to forget about everything, get drunk and forget about those assholes?", he grinned at me as his blue eyes glimmered hopefully.

"Sure, why not? I could use a beer... or five", I grinned at him taking a deep breath. You're okay Zara, you're okay. I repeatedly chanted this in my head until I had convinced myself I was okay.

Daniel chuckled at my response leaning in to give me a kiss on the forehead, he was gentle as he placed his hands softly on the my cheeks pulling me in. "You'll be fine baby girl. You're strong", I didn't feel very strong but his words reassured me. You're okay Zara. You're okay.

"I love you", I suddenly said the words spilling out quickly and suddenly. My heart begins racing as blood rushes to my face as I realized what I had confessed. I don't think I'd ever told him before, but it felt right. I knew I loved him, I knew I also loved... No Zara, you don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Daniels face lit up as he heard me say those words, he looks at me, his eyes glistening. I suddenly feel shy when I look at him whilst his hands reaches under my hair below my ear as he caresses my cheek which has deepened its blush when he looks at me with such intensity, his eyes revealing more than his words could ever express. We're so close as breathe each other in. My heart flutters and races when he pulls me to his lips kissing them desperately.

He pulls away before I've had enough of that kiss leaving me out of breath as he looks at me and says, "I love you too Zara, I always have and I always will".

I smile happily but the light in his eyes change and his behavior seems to shift turning serious, a glint of sadness appears in his eyes as he continues to speak, "but I know you're in love with him too Zara and as much a I love you and you love me. You need to figure out who you want, for now I think we should take a break", it was all so sudden as I hold my breath trying to take in everything he just says my stomach drops.

Daniels words fall out of his mouth like bitter sadness and lands in my guts like a shrapnel which exploded and attacked me. I feel my eyes begin to slowly tear, and the blood drain from my face because what he says is true, and it hurt like fuck.

He clears his throat in my silence, "You can still come with me to the party, we don't have to stop speaking", his face is filled with guilt and concern but I know he knows it was the right thing to do. I had to stop being selfish, figure what I wanted. You want him, don't you?

I look at him and give him a small smile before shaking my bed, "It's fine I'm just going to head home, you enjoy yourself", I turn around quickly and began to walk away, a part of me wishes he would call out my name and tell me it was all a joke but he doesn't and there I am alone and confused all because of Damien fucking Franco.

I call out for a taxi which stops at a halt in front of me and swing open the door.

"Where to miss?" The taxi driver asks.

"Monletro pub", I mutter before pulling out my phone, scrolling through my contact list until reaching the contact name Dylan... the one night stand dude.

I'd regret everything that would happen today, tomorrow but for now my head was jumbled and I needed a way out of all of this pain.

Pressing the call button I placed the phone to my ear waiting for him to pick up. A few seconds later his voice cheerfully picked up and spoke, "Hey Zara I'm so glad you called", I could sense the surprise in his voice.

"Hey handsome, I've missed you. Let's meet at the Monletro pub", I say seductively.

"Sure catch you in 5", he replied eagerly before I pressed the end call button and leaned back in the uncomfortable taxi seat.

I needed to get drunk and laid.
