Tangled Love

Chapter 22 - Blowing up everything

Aspen's POV

When I walked out of the restroom, my phone buzzed. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and looked at it. I sighed, annoyed as I saw Carolina's name on the screen.

'I am waiting for you in our secret place in this venue. Refreshing old memories. We have to talk. It is important.'

I rolled my eyes, annoyed.

'We talked. There is nothing to talk about.'

When I wanted to put my phone back into my pocket, my phone buzzed again. I breathed deeply, frustrated, running my hand through my hair.

'Aspen, please. It is so important. I promise I will not bother you again.'

I took a sigh and tapped a message.

'Ok.'

I put my phone into my pocket and went towards the room where Carolina was waiting for me. I walked in and closed the door behind me.

"What the hell do you want to talk about?" I snapped, annoyed, placing my hands into my pockets.

"Aspen, don't you think you are extending this?" She said as she approached me, looking at me with lustful eyes.

I breathed deeply, running my hand through my hair. I took my jacket off and placed it on the couch.

"Carolina, we broke up. Don't you get it?!" I snarled.

"Aspen, I love you. Give us a chance." She said and placed her hand on the nape of my neck, playing with the button of my shirt. "Please, Aspen." She added as she started unbuttoning my shirt, pressing herself against my bulge.

"Carolina!" I warned her as I grabbed her wrist.

"Let me remind you how much you love me." She purred and brushed her lips against mine.

I grabbed her arms and pushed her away.

My eyes widened as I saw Serena staring at us in shock.

Fuck!

She shook her head, looking at me, disappointment and loathing in her eyes. She wiped her tears off her cheek and stormed out.

"Serena, please, wait." I shouted and wanted to run after her.

"Aspen, where are you going?! Leave her alone." Carolina grabbed my arm, stopping me and said with a self-satisfied expression on her face.

"Let go of me!" I snapped and pulled my arm away, giving her a dirty look.

I rushed after Serena. I saw her when she was going downstairs.

"Serena, let me explain." I pleaded as I went downstairs after her.

I grabbed her wrist, stopping her on the stairs.

"Let go of me!" She snapped, trying to pull her arm away, crying.

"Serena, please, let me explain." I pleaded.

"What will you tell me? I saw everything with my own eyes." She snapped and pulled her arm away angrily. "Because of her, you broke up with me. How stupid I was. I thought you broke up, because Elva asked you about it. I came and talked to you, trying to convince you that you gave us a chance. But...." She shook her head, giving me a loathing look.

"Serena." I gave her a begging look. "I didn't break up with you because of her. She kissed me. I didn't kiss her." I explained. She gave me a mocking smirk.

"Tell her the truth, Aspen." Carolina approached us, giving Serena an arrogant smirk.

"Shut up, Carolina!" I snapped.

"You naive girl! You think he loves you?!" Carolina mocked.

"Shut up, Carolina!" I snapped, trying to stop her.

"Why Aspen? She should know." Carolina said, self-satisfied.

"Carolina!" I gave her a warning look as I clenched my first.

"He just used you to keep our relationship a secret. You foolish!" She laughed mockingly.

Serena looked at me, stunned while tears were running down her cheeks. I bit my lower lip and averted my gaze. I couldn't look her in the eyes anymore.

"But you were so easy. A few compliments and you were ready. But I have to admit. I didn't think you were so easy. You didn't wait to spread your legs for him so long." Carolina said mockingly.

"Carolina, shut up!" I snapped and gave her a warning look. She gave me a mocking smirk.

"Is...it...true?" Serena asked me, sobbing. Her voice was barely audible.

"Serena..." I bit my lower lip and looked away.

"Is it true?" She snapped. "Did you use me for keeping your relationship with her a secret?" She asked as she gave Carolina a disgusting look.

"Such a stupid girl! Yes, he used you. Don't you get it?!" Carolina said sarcastically.

I gritted my teeth. I am going to kill her.

"Shut your filthy mouth!" I snapped and grabbed Carolina's wrist angrily.

"Let go of me, Aspen. Why are you angry?" Carolina asked mockingly.

"Get out of here!" I barked and pushed her hand away angrily.

She laughed and looked at Serena. Serena was still crying. Her face was pale.

"He had been sleeping with me while you were in a love bubble. He had been telling me what you were doing. And we were laughing at your stupidity." She laughed mockingly.

"Serena, I didn't tell her anything. I swear." I pleaded. She gave me a disgusting look.

"Then how do I know he slept with you?" Carolina asked, smirking.

"Shut up, Carolina! I didn't tell you anything." I hissed. I turned around and looked at Serena. "Serena, believe me. I didn't tell her." I pleaded. She shook her head in disappointment.

"Will you believe him again?!" Carolina asked sarcastically. "He told me how inexperienced and bad you were in the bed. We laughed behind your back." She added arrogantly, approaching Serena.

Suddenly, Carolina hit her shoulder, pushing her back slightly. Serena lost her balance and fell down.

"Serena!" I shouted.

I couldn't move like my legs were frozen. I was staring at Serena laying on the floor. Fortunately, there weren't so many stairs.

"What have you done?!" I shouted at Carolina and rushed towards Serena.

I placed my hand under her head, lifting her head up as I bent down beside her. Everyone rushed towards us in panic.

"Ahh!" She screamed in pain and placed her hand on her stomach. "My baby." She murmured, crying.

Baby?

I looked at her, dumbfounded.

"Please, don't leave me, my little one." She said, looking at her stomach while pressing her hand on her stomach slightly, crying.

"You..." I couldn't manage to finish my sentence. My mind was blank.
