Lost In His Emerald (COMPLETE)

Chapter 26

✂

His body was glistened in sweat as he punched the poor bag...heaving with rage and regret. With one last punch, he roared in anger crumbling to the floor as he held his head and broke into tears.

He was stupid...how could he do that to her. He had treated her in the worst way possible, instead of accepting her.. The woman that robbed his heart. He couldn't even face her. Her eyes pleaded, but he was too engrossed in himself, to realize how broken and vulnerable she was.

He should have told her he loved her.. He should have hugged her so tight and told her it's okay. That he still loved, so much..because he did. But he didn't. Instead, he walked away like coward..maybe his father was right. He was a coward. And he didn't deserve her.

"Heyyy heeeey, it's okay" Marco embraced him, holding him tight. He had never seen his brother this broken.

"I failed her Marco..I'm a fucking coward " He cried as he held onto Marco.

"You're not a coward brother...you just didn't expect to find out the truth that way" Marco sighed. He knew. He was standing by the door when he had them argue.

"How di..did you know" Tory asked with scrunched brows.

"I've always known" He released a heavy breath.

"I just wanted you to find out by yourself...i didn't want to betray her" Marco continued and Tory nodded in understanding.

"I left her there Marco, i should have hugged and told her it's okay..i should have told her how much i love her... But I just walked away.. And left her broken. " Tory burst into a fresh set of tears.

"Heey heey, take it easy on yourself... Get some rest and talk to her tomorrow " Marco reassured.

"I can't...i can't face her Marco" He sniffed and Marco nodded. He didn't want to push it. Tory would talk to her once he was finally ready.

He helped Tory get up and escorted him to his room.

"He hates me Cass, he despises me...i shouldn't have allowed myself to fall for him. It wouldn't hurt this bad"

"Heyyyy,shhhh...it's okay. Cry it out baby..he probably didn't expect it, but he shouldn't have acted that way... It's gonna heal eventually " Cassie reassured as she brushed Diana's hair, she hated seeing her this way. This exactly what love does to people...yet it's still the most beautiful thing you could ever experience.

"I just hoped he would hold me tight and kiss me and tell me it's okay... That he would tell me a million times how much he loved me.. But he just stared at me, blankly.. And walked away. He left me Cass.. He doesn't love me" Diana broke as tears flowed down her red face..her eyes were puffy, her head was pounding.. But it didn't much the pain.. The pain in her heart.

"I'm so sorry baby... He's an asshole" Cassie said sadly as she held onto Diana.

"A very big asshole" Diana muttered.

But as she drifted to sleep, her heart ached, not because he left her when she needed his reassurance most, but because whatever he did or would do, she would never hate him and it hurt. It hurt knowing that she would love him..

Always.
