Unintended Consequences - Part 2

(Note:  Listen while you read.  It's an oldie and a favorite of mine.  One of many, that is.  Sooo.. This was supposed to be 2 parts only, but these 2 boys decided to torture each other.  I'm writing part 3 now, and hopefully will be up later today/tonight.  And if there are any mistakes, please let me know.  Kinda got lazy so didn't really proofread.)

Wang YiBo POV

I packed up my things as soon as the event was over.  I didn't even bother staying to take pictures with the fans and left my assistant to make up excuses for my abrupt rudeness.  It wasn't a fan meet anyway, I thought wearily, so who gives a shit.  I just wanted to go home... or back to my hotel and get drunk.

I had been like this for the past month.  Morose.  Lifeless.  Savage.  Nothing my manager did could bring me out of the funk I was wallowing in.  Not even with the threat of terminating my contract.  I simply did not care.  I did not feel.  At all.  People called me cold before, but now...  Now I was just a block of ice.

Ever since that night Xiao Zhan rejected me, I stopped caring about anything.  Fool that I was, I really thought Xiao Zhan had feelings for me, but they were just foolish games he played.  With me.  With my heart.

Fool me once, shame of you...  Fool me twice... shame on me.

Yeah.  That will never happen again.

With a weary sigh, I entered my hotel room.  Too tired to even shower, I sat down and leaned my head back against the chair, wincing as a sharp pain sliced through my head.  These late nights were catching up to me, and I was so very, very tired.  Emotionally drained, I closed my eyes and listened to the TV playing in the background.  It's the one thing that stays on whenever I'm alone in my hotel. 

I didn't know how long I stayed like that, trying to unwind from the day's events, when I heard that voice... his voice.  Jerking upright, I stared hungrily at his beautiful face on the screen.  It has been a month since I've set eyes on his face.  I had been avoiding anything that was Xiao Zhan, knowing that if I see him or hear his sultry voice, I'd break.  I was doing so well to prevent that from happening!  His ads shouldn't have been playing on the sports channel. 

Fuck!  Why?!

I turned the volume down, though I left the TV on.  But it was too late.  My empty heart suddenly felt heavy, and a gasp of pain slipped from my lips before I could stop it.  I tried to control myself, but the dam broke and ragged sobs burst from my mouth.  My tears were no longer able to remain in my eyes, and as they coursed down my face, I roughly wiped it away, angry with myself for letting him affect me still.  If I could, I would rip out my heart and throw it into the depths of hell and watch it burn.

Then, with the floodgates opened, his thoughtless words ripped through me once again and I remembered that day...  The day he tore my heart from my chest and stomped on it, breaking it into a million pieces.
