The Real Deal

Chapter 15:

The Big Impact

-ASHTON'S POV-

Another day has passed. From the very first moment that I saw James and Kacey kissed. It still affects me. I know, they're couple now, but, I feel kinda jealous. When Kacey and I were together, she didnt kissed me like that.

Later this morning,

I was walking alone when I passed by Kacey who is also alone. So, I grabbed the chance that she is alone to tell her something I must've tell before all of this happened.

"Kacey, wait. Can we talk? Later afternoon?" I requested as she narrowed her eyes.

Kacey didn't have a second thought. She quickly respond,

She rolled her eyes and sighed, "Okay. Later, in the school's balcony." 

"Okay. Thanks. Thank you very much!" I chortled, a feeling of success rushed towards inside me.

And with that, she walked away. Her face blank, showing no signs of emotions. I really missed the Kacey I used to know before. The Kacey I once loved.

.

The day went quick and later in the afternoon,

.

I went to the balcony. I saw Kacey there, admiring the view from the top of our school. Her elbows placed relaxingly on the foundations of the balcony.

I breathed in, "So, are you ready?" I interrupted her.

Kacey turned around to face me. She once again placed her elbow on the foundations.

"Ready for what?" she asked, trying to smile.

"Ready to listen to me."

"Im always ready. From the very first time, I always wanted to hear your side. But you're too busy flirting with Ella." she continued. Making me nod in guilt.

I went nearer to her, the nearest Ive been since she had a new boyfriend.

"Kacey, I know our relationship didn't end the way it must be. But, I just wanted you to know that I really loved you. Yes, I played on you, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I didn't love you. I really loved you, Kacey. But I didn't know why I played on you. Believe me it's not because of popularity. Maybe I got lost in the game of love, so I searched for a new girl. A new girl in which I thought Ican be happy again." I wimpered in front of her as I look her straight in the eyes.

Kacey stared at me. Blank face. No emotions. But, her eyes shouting a million things. Her eyes throwing me the questions I left to her. By this, tears started to fall in her eyes.

"Sorry. Sorry Kacey. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. I am so sorry, Kacey." I apologized as I tried to held her hand.

She took her hand away. She wept. She removed her stare at me and she gazed at the sky, hiding all the pain her eyes reveal.

.

She looked at me again, "Ashton, you played on me. You made me cry for almost a hundred times. Because of you, me and my dad fought! This is all because of you!" Kacey stammered.

I stared at her for a little while. I didn't know I caused that pain to her. Because of me, she fought with her father. My tears fall continously.

.

"Im so sorry. Im so sorry, Kacey" I sobbed, kneeling in front of her as I repeatedly try to hold her hand, on which I didnt succeed.

.

"I can't take this anymore. I need to go, Ashton." Kacey decided, wiping her tears as she walk away from me.

.

I stood-up and called her, " Wait!"

She turned to me again.

.

"I just wanted you to know, that I am LETTING YOU FREE. I just wanted you to be happy, that's all." I muttered.

.

"Ashton, don't think that you are freeing me or something. Because this is my decision. I AM THE ONE LETTING MYSELF FREE FROM ALL THE LIES, THE PAIN AND THE HEARTBREAK. I AM THE ONE LETTING MYSELF FREE FROM YOU." Kacey responded as a tear fell again in her eyes.

.

I nodded. 

.

.
"Because one time, I gave you everything but, you threw all of that away. You broke it." Kacey reasoned, electrifying me thousands of bolts of guilt.

.

.

"I hope. I hope you live a happy life. Make yourself happy. Because if you don't do that, I will forever blame myself from letting you go." I whined, as my lips continued to quiver.

Kacey started to cry once again, she cannot contain all of the sadness Im giving her at this moment, and with that, she turned her back at me and ran away.

I can't help myself from crying, All my tears contain guilt and anger to myself. All of this is because of me. My tears fell continuously. It's over. We're officially not a couple anymore. I didn't know it would cause so much pain. Not just to me but to Kacey as well. This is all my fault! This is all my fault!
