I love you still |✔|Editions

Chapter 14

Greg still has a huge smile on his face and Its really awkward. I ask while rolling my eyes " why are you still smiling?"

"Vanessa I'm completely shocked right now. I thought when you said singing is your hobby you were joking but you were actually serious."

People think nerds like me don't have feelings or nerds don't have hobbies or even a talent. But guys we actually do.

Greg continues speaking immediately snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Vanessa you can sing, you are talented. Why don't you just become a singer?"

Hearing his question made me very angry. I'm angry because Greg knows that my dad is so complicated.

I'm unknowingly shout "no Greg you don't understand I can't be a singer! "

Greg is in a complete shock while driving. I stare at the window while saying "my dad would never allow me to do such a thing. My father hates music or entertainment."

"my mother is a singer well technically was a singer. She used to sing until she met my dad John smith. She used to travel the world going for tour and concerts with her band until she met my father and fell in love then got married to him."

My suddenly become watery, Ive never told anybody my personal life. Greg's the first, I really do trust him and hope he'll keep it a secret.

Greg asks "your mothers dreams were not fulfilled but surely your dreams can be fulfilled. Right." he says the word right while giving me a quick glare.

"No!"
I look at Greg while releasing a deep breath. I continue saying "my father would never let me with his money and power."

"when I was young I was in my room and I remember once I liked the song that played on the radio, so I increased the volume really loud and began dancing to the song while singing along. My dad walked in looking at me really angry and reduced the volume then scolded me."

I say but this time in a sobbing voice "I will never forget the words he said, he said Vanessa music will ruin your future' and today now that I know who he really is Im starting to realize that he was wrong but it's too late for that anyway."

Greg holds my shoulder with his arm trying to comfort me. My tears just started coming out from my eyes.

Greg says "it's your life and its your choice."

I whip my tears while saying "promise me you won't tell anybody about me singing."

He says while parking the car infront of the hotel "okay, but I know you have to show the world your talent. Anyway I won't tell anyone. I promise."

I node my head and hop out of the car then Greg hops out to. I head into the hotel and straight to our hotel room, Greg right behind me.

I enter the room and heading towards the wordrobe then grab my suitcase and place it on the bed.

Greg asks me while closing the door behind him "are you really leaving?"

I immediately reply while packing my clothes "of course I'm leaving, I don't want any trouble with your girlfriend."

He says while releasing a frustrated groan "fine go I'm only trying to help you anyway."

I'm immediately pissed off, I didn't ask for Greg's help but he offered it anyway.

I walk up to Greg and since his tall stand on my toes then look him in the eyes angrily. I say "I didn't ask for your help. I didn't even need you, you literally begged me to be your friend."

He steps back and says while making gestures with his hands "I begged you, I didn't beg you. I only felt sorry for you."

I roll my eyes while saying "then what do you call following someone to her motel room begging her to talk to you. It's definitely begging and you have the guts to even follow her after hooking up with your so called ex girlfriend."

Greg and I are in a steaming argument right now. He looks at me for a few minutes with his mouth slightly open and says "I didn't hook up with Barbie."

I clap my hands sarcastically while saying "I saw you that day Greg, you walked straight into her motel room--"

He cuts me and says "I didn't hook up with Barbie. I'm trying to avoid her so why would I hook up with her."

"you and Barbie are perfect for each other. So you should continue your little love shit and Im not an obstacle. I'll never be an obstacle for anybody." I say this time rather in a low voice.

Greg says "I don't want barbie If I wanted her I would have been with her."

I giving him a hostile glare "I never needed your help or you. You practically wanted me to come stay here."

He shakes his head while saying "you needed me because if I didn't help you, you would have been homeless. Your dad would never except you and plus I felt pity for you."

I stare at him silently so sad and angry at the same time. His disrespectful like my ex boyfriend Ben and I actually thought he was different but his the same.

He stares back at me silent as well. The tears couldn't help but form in my eyes. I say holding the tears in "that's how you feel well thank you. I'm glad I've learnt."

I star crying while staring at Greg and he notices and starts coming closer.

We hear a knock on the door and a tall slim brown skinned lady walks in while saying "room service"
I quickly whip my tears while giving her my back not wanting her to see my teary face. Greg asks her "what's the time?"

She replies "it's 8am." I turn around looking at her completely shocked. I say while walking out of the room "I'm going to leave after school and thanks for mentioning my father in our argument."

I hear Greg say "Vanessa wait." but I continued walking out of the room not looking back.

I told Greg a lot of stories about me and my dad thinking I could trust him but I'm regretting everything.

I was feeling bad for leaving the hotel because I thought maybe he could be my friend but now I'm really happy leaving the hotel.

Our so called friendship is over for real...
