He's nothing but everything

Chapter 14 Hes Another Liar

The day I slapped Viola was the last day that Liam and I had spoken to each other, he had isolated me and he had pushed me further away, and to be honest I didn't want to have anything to do with him, I realized that I had to just stop fighting, because it felt like all I ever did was fight for our friendship, I couldn't keep doing this to myself, I couldn't keep letting myself get hurt like this over and over. Why is it that I was the only one fighting for us, yet again. When will I finally get it through my thick head that I'm alone in this, and I'm making myself look like a fool.

Another year had gone by and I had convinced myself to let Liam go for good this time. I managed to stay out of his way and I managed to heal myself, I got him out of my mind and I was more focused on the people that truly cared about me, like Aaron and Melanie. Recently I had noticed that Aaron had been pulling away from me, it was as if he had just lost all feeling for me, when we first started dating he was head over heels for me, he would do just about anything to be with me, and now he just started pulling away, I thought that was really strange, especially sincing this was the time I needed him the most, he helped me for a whole year, he healed me he got my mind off the hurt that I felt because of Liam, and I could actually hear his name without flinching and I could also hear Viola's name without wanting to slap her across the face again, all hostility towards them were gone. Now when I needed Aaron to continue being there for me he just wasn't anymore, he was spending more time on his phone when we were together, and he would always make excuses when I asked him to come see me, he would use this constant excuse, that he had to go fishing with his uncle, this was a weekly excuse, we would plan a day together and he would just cancel at the last minute. There was an occasion where we planned to watch a movie and he actually showed up, but he was on edge and I could tell, he was jumpy and he looked like he was waiting for something, always checking his phone when there was a beep, there was a message that came through and after he read it he told me he had to go, it was his uncle wanting him to come fishing again. I think by this time I was already fed up with his lies so I did what any other paranoid girl friend would do, I snatched the phone out of his hands and ran into the bathroom and locked the door, I could hear him running behind me and I knew that my action caught him off-guard. I opened his phone and it went straight to the WhatsApp messenger app. Him and I never went through each other's phones but somehow I knew I needed to, and luckily I did. I found out that he was actually messaging a girl, not someone I knew but he planned on meeting her and she told him she was going to let him know when he could come over. The rest of the texts were dirty conversations, as I kept scrolling through his chats on WhatsApp I see a lot of other women on his chat list, he was flirting with each and every one of them, under his picture gallery he had what seemed like a million pictures of different girls. At that moment I was caught off guard, I didn't expect this, at most I expected him leaving me to go spend time with friends, not him cheating on me with so many other girls. I felt my face heating up and the tears in my eyes started to pool, I couldn't hold back the emotion at this moment, the tears just fell down to the ground and I couldn't help but stop and look up to the ceiling. "Why are you doing this to me God, what did I ever do wrong". Even more tears started rolling down my eyes and I just couldn't help but burst the bathroom door open and I flung his phone on the wall and it shattered into pieces. He looked at me with these frantic eyes, I ran to my room and jumped onto my bed, buried my face into my pillow and started to cry some more. Ten minutes later I hear a knock on the door, it was Aaron and he asked for permission to come inside my room, I stayed silent for a minute and tried my best to compose my thoughts, what was I going to say to this lying piece of shit. I walked out of my room and at that moment Aaron was standing outside my door, when I looked up at his face all I could see was regret, anxiety, and what looked like pain. Why would he feel pain, he's the one who's been engaging in all of this, he's the one who's been with other girls, again I could feel tears start to pool up in my eyes, but I held back, because I needed a reasonable explanation, and me showing him all this emotion is only going to make him feel sorry for me and start lying, so I frantically blinked my eyes trying to abolish those tears and I looked directly at him, it was a discerning look, and he could see that.

"What's the matter with you Paige, why did you just take my phone, and why did it sound like you were crying?" He said that with a genuinely confused look on his face.

"It's a pity that you think I don't know what your phone password is Aaron, you are quite predictable". I said this with a stern tone of voice, and a no bullshit tone. I could see that he finally understood what was going on. He put his hand up to his forehead, and rubbed his temple, I could see him licking his lips, probably marinating all the lies that was going to come out.
