The Devil's Trap

Chapter 5: Actions

This is chapter is a continuation for his confession to me. I know that must be obvious, but I just wanted to clear is up if anyone got confused. Anyway, thank you all again for still continuing to read all the chapters.

After some silence, he told me that he liked me for months. That he liked me when I was dating my old boyfriend, Alexander, and even when he was dating Amaya. I hated the truth he told me. I hated that he lied to our friend and even hid his feelings for me when I was in a relationship. I felt horrible for even listening to this information.

In the end, I rejected him. I told him that I was sorry and that he was only a friend to me. That, if anything, he was merely just a brother to me. I know that saying that was a bit harsh, but I needed to let him know that I had no feelings for him. That I did not see him that way. That I was going on dates with Aristotle and that the both of us had mutual feelings for each other.

I had to tell him that we will only just be friends.

Later that day he tried to convince me that we should act like that moment never happened. I told him that I am not going to pretend that it never happened. That I appreciate his words to me and that we should still be friends.

I didn't want to forget that moment. It was the first time that a boy has confessed to me in person. Aristotle and Alexander have only confessed to me through texting and even though I felt the same way about them in that moment, I felt somewhat happy that he confessed to me in person then on text. It was different and it was nice in a way. Even though I did not feel the same way, I wanted him to know that I appreciated what he did.

I wish I knew then that he was not someone to care about. I wish I knew then that he was not someone who should be apart of my life.

I told Kassandra what happened, but I didn't tell Amaya. I knew that she was hurting inside and I didn't want to be the reason for her to have a break down.

I should have told Amaya right away. I'm so sorry for not saying anything sooner. Then again, no matter the time I told her, the painful events were bound to come anyway.

It was only a couple days after the confession did he get even closer to Kassandra. He would only talk to her. He would only look at her.

He confessed to her shortly after through text.

I really hope that you guys aren't bothered with how short the chapters are. I feel bad that this isn't really long or anything like that, but I guess there is not much I can do about that. This is just a way for me to let people know that, life sucks. Life really really sucks and sometimes we feel as though we fall down and can never get back up, but you can and you will. Anyway, thank you all for reading this chapter and I hope you all stick around till the end. \( ^ _ ^)/
