Destined

The Break

Leilani's POV

"I'm sorry. I know I pushed you away because I'm clingy and I was selfish, but.....I miss you so much Kobe."

He kept his head down, messing with his fingers.

"I don't want to hurt your feelings." He mumbled.

"Hurt them. I don't care. I need to know why you really did it. The truth." I beg him.

He sighed heavily before looking up at me.

"I'm in love with someone else. I know I told you that I loved you, but I don't, I love my ex. I didn't want to mess up our relationship by slipping up." He told me.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting him to say that.

"Oh." I mumbled.

"So.......did you feel that way before we made it official?" I ask him.
He nodded almost immediately.

"Than why'd you ask me out?" I ask, growing confused.

"It was a in the moment thing, I didn't mean to. I wasn't even going to. But.....that kiss was different." He told me.

"So you don't like me?" I ask.

"No Leilani, I don't. I never did." He told me.

Nodding, I started to roll away from him but I stopped.

"Thanks for being honest." I told him. He looked away from me and I rolled to the guest room.

I didn't mean to slam the door, but I did.

I climbed in the bed and got under the covers, making sure no one could hear me cry.

See Leilani, this is why you should've stuck by your rule.
IM NOT DATING ANYMORE UNTIL I AM 18!
What happened to that?
Now you have your heartbroken and it's your fault.
Kobe's gonna love who he's gonna love.
I guess you weren't the one he loved the most.

I heard my door open so I muffled my cries more.

"Leilani, I didn't mean it. I swear."
I heard Kobe say.

Shaking my head, I felt a pain in my stomach.

"Leilani" he called, but I stayed bundled up.
I'm hurt and I don't want to talk to anyone.

I felt my cover being moved so I grabbed onto it tighter.

"Leave me alone Kobe please." I beg through my cries.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I don't love my ex more than you. I love you more than any girl I've even known. I swear to God. I-I just didn't want you to feel sorry for me. I hate myself and I didn't want you to feel responsible for trying to put me back together. I know you, and I know that you'd do anything for me. But.....I didn't want you to try and fix something that was already broken. I don't want that pressure on you, so I had to make something up. I swear I don't love her more than I love you. I swear." He repeated.
