When The Stars Align

Chapter 100

JAMES POV

Before I parked my car I looked at the time, it should be around time Andrea would be out talking to him, as usual. I approached the place carefully not to be seen. She was there, with him, smiling, and he was, again, playing with her hair. My insides pulsed in rage, I wanted to go there and rip his hand off. I turned the engine off and got out of the car, instead of going to her immediately, I stayed there watching her, like I used to do when I was just spying on her, too coward to go and talk, when we met again.

A gust of wind blew, and her hair flew in the air. His hand went there to grab it and put it down and she giggled. Then his hand rested on her face and her smile vanished a bit, my heart began to race as I saw his face getting closer to hers. "Oh Andrea...pull away..." I whispered all alone. My heart raced a bit more and his face went a bit closer, Andrea didn't move and there was not a trace of a smile on her lips. Their eyes were locked, my fist clenching as my rage was taking over. His nose touched hers and I felt my eyes watering as I knew Andrea would not pull away there, then his lips touched hers. "NOOO..." I said a bit louder with tears running down my face. A knife was stabbed in my heart. I was frozen in place and unable to give a step towards them I felt like yelling at her and tell her to stop.

I felt lost there, I didn't know if I should turn around and leave or go on with my initial plan, but I couldn't ignore that. My betrayed heart wouldn't let me just ignore what my desperate eyes witnessed. My tears kept falling, even if I didn't want to, my hands began to shake with the nerves, my jaw began to clench, and grit and a low growl escaped my throat. Rage versus crushed heart. Love versus hate that moment. Then I saw her hands resting on his chest and she pulled him away. She was serious, not much of the previous Andrea in there, but still I wanted to kill her and him too. My mind began to race deciding who to kill first, but my heart was bleeding tremendously. That woman broke my heart once and she was doing it for the second time.

"Why did you do that?" I heard her yell and Andrea got up from the bench. She was indignant and I decided it was time to show up. I gave a step ahead and then stopped. I wasn't sure of what to do. I took a few deep breaths to calm down, I couldn't go to her and yell and shout and smash everything around me, even if I felt that was the right thing to do in there. I began to walk to them anyway, with my mind speeding a mile per second. Andrea was with her back turned at me and I stopped walking just a few meters away from her.

"Andrea..." I called her name and she took a while to look back. When she did, she looked pale and I saw her lips trembling. Andrea was far from being stupid, that was too simultaneous. Her lips trembled as our eyes locked and her dark eyes began to glitter, flooded. I couldn't control myself in there, our gaze meeting showed all the betrayal I felt, as my eyes began to cry again.

"James..." She whispered, her voice shaking so much. "No..." She whimpered a bit.

"How could you?" I asked her. The guy was sat as if nothing was happening. I tilted my head to the side to find him so relaxed, like nothing really mattered. My rage was stronger then. "Motherfucker..." I growled, feeling my blood boiling inside my veins. I gave a huge step towards him and Andrea threw her body against mine.

"No." She said firmly. My eyes met hers again so disappointed.

"You broke my heart once Andrea, and now you just did it again." I said.

"Let's talk." She pleaded.

"I don't wanna talk Andrea." With that I turned my back at her and began to walk back to the truck. I couldn't do that after all. Andrea began to run after me and grabbed me from behind, I stopped walking feeling her arms wrapped around my waist.
