The same girl- A RUEL FANFIC (sequel to 'the new girl')

Chapter 8- Mistletoe and Xmas

Hey guys! Sorry for not updating in ages I've lost interest lol but I'm back for good!! Hope you had an awesome Christmas and on to the story xx

Reece's POV

"What are you doing for Christmas Reece?" Sunday asks me during art, I crane my neck to look at her bright blue eyes and sigh.

"I'm staying here- with the mothership and her dick of a boyfriend" She laughs at me and I roll my eyes in response, then Ruel jumps into our conversation.

"I still can't believe we're going away for Christmas it makes me mad! I literally just got back from Mabel's tour and off I go again! This time only getting to spend like five days with you my little piñata" I giggle and a sad smile comes onto everyone's faces. Ruel was gone recently for a few weeks leaving me in an extremely lonely and boring time, and then he's back and leaving and then leaving again. I can tell he's tired of it and it's taking a toll on him, but's it's taking a huge toll on me. Some days I feel I can't even do it anymore.

"Anyone my mum said I can have a Christmas party anyway, so the whole groups invited! And I figured we could do a fun little secret Santa of course too!" Everyone nods their head in agreement and Ruel pulls me into his chest and places a a kiss on my cheek.

"Oh god! I have to go! I promised Samson we would do our project in spare period! Bye guys- also the party ain't far away so please get organised, you too Ruel" They all roll their eyes at me and Ruel gives me a unsure look, I shrug it off and place a peck on his lips and sprint off.

So after our run in ath the movies with Samson he agreed to not say anything. We've also grown pretty close on the time Ruels been away. He's also apart of our group now and although tries on me, isn't as much of a dick. And too be honest I like being around him and his beautiful brown eyes.

// A week later!

"It looks great Reece!" Ruel says to me as I smile and pull him onto the couch with me. I stroke his hair and we sit in silence.

"Ruel you know I love you right?" He nods his head and kisses my arm," but I don't know how much longer I can do this. I'm so happy for you Ruel but my heart breaks every time you leave" 

He sits abruptly sits up with a concerned look on his face.

"What do you mean? I try my best to be here wth you Reece bits it's hard with my career, I thought you would understand that and be happy for me! Leaving also takes a toll on me, do you not think that I want you to be there too?" I notice the tears in his eyes and I resist the urge to wipe them away. 

"I am happy for you Ruel and I'm happy when I'm with you! But I can't help but think about ending this all when your not here when I need you most and I'm drowning in sorrows!" 

At this point we are both hysterically crying and angry.

" But if your happy with me you would stay with me! I try to be there for you Reece you know I Do" I nod my head.

"Ruel you are the best you really are but I can't. I can't handle having to be someone else when we go out in public together. I can't handle not following you on social media or not being allowed to post photos of us together! Because your fan base will come for me and it will ruin your image! I love you so much but I need to put myself first and I just can't anymore! I just can't Ruel" I look away from him in fear of taking it all back, because I needed to do it for myself. 

"But... but I love you Reece, pl..lease don't do this. We belong together we love each other. Reece I fucking need you!" 

" I need you to Ruel but I can't do it to myself anymore I can't have my heartbreak every time your not here"

" Reece please! Please don't do this please I love you so fucking much and I can't even imagine my life without you in it! I just can't please I love you"

"Ruel I'm sorry, but I can't"

And with that he gets up and leaves me. I run after him but sop myself at the door way.

"I love you " I say under my breath and turn around, until I'm being whisked around to face the boy I'm madly in love with unti I feel his lips on mine, and before I can kiss back or pull away Ruels gone walking away from me, a retreating figure. I sigh and let the tears fall, looking up to see a mistletoe hanging above my head.

I take of my ring and throw it at Ruels reatreating back and slam the door, hearing the mistletoe fall to the ground.
