Chapter Eight

                                                              "Sky POV"

I ride in my car and waited for Kelly to hop in but she insisted on staying outside, I open the side window and peak at her.

"Will you hop in or I will carry you? You're free to choose." I mock her, she rolls her eyes and gets inside.

"Ungentlemanly" she whispered, I just smirk and shook my head.

I started the engine and drive the car then I slowly look at Kelly, I feel annoyed when I saw that she didn't clasp her seatbelt.

She looked at me angrily, "why are you looking at me? I'm not a road!" she exasperatedly said. I hurriedly step on the brake and move my right hand to catch her so she won't bump on the window. Luckily, she didn't get hurt but unfortunately, I accidentally touch her breast. I suddenly feel hot even the airconditioned is open.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she gave one long shriek, she removed my hands and punched me many times on my arms.

"PERVERRRRRRRRRT!" she shouted, she continued shouting at me. "Ouch," I complained but she continues hurting me and shouting.

"Okay, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to do it" I apologized, she stops and remains silent. She looked at the window then lean on the side of the door.

"Kelly, I'm sorry. I just wanted to protect you, I didn't want to harm you. I stop the car because I saw that you didn't fasten your seatbelt." I added, she looked at the seatbelt, she pulled and clasp it.

She looked at me and said coldly, "you can drive now." I know she wanted to complain a lot to me but she chose to stay quiet. I'm not used to the Kelly I'm seeing right now before she talks a lot and says what's inside her mind, she randomly says everything. I don't know what happens to her.

I started the engine and drove the car, I tried to communicate to her and tease her while I'm driving but she ignores me the whole time.

We reach her destination, I stop the car at the studio she removes the clasp of her seatbelt and tried to open the door but I locked it. I just want to talk to her before she leaves and ignore me if we meet once again.

"Can we talk?" I asked calmly, she still trying to open the door even though she knows that the door is lock. "It's late, I have to leave now," she answered.

"Give me a minute to talk to you or else you will not be able to go out of this car," I warned her. This time, she faced me and looked at me. "What do you want to say?" she asked.

"What happened to us? Why are we like this?" I asked confusedly, she laughs a little and frowned. "Are you kidding me? You are talking about us? There's no US from the very start." she said resentfully.

"What did I do wrong to you to act like we're strangers? Did I hurt you before or mistreated you? Tell me." I pleaded to her.

"I hate those people who acted like there's nothing happen or acting as a victim in a situation wherein fact they were truly the one who hurt someone else," she answered.

"Huh? You're the one who left me, remember?" my voice rise, she bit her lip.

"I don't want to talk about the past, I want to leave now. Please, open the door." she coldly said.

"No, I want you to clear everything to me. Right here, right now." I commanded her, she nods.

"When we were third-year college, you courted me. You told me that you were in love at first sight with me. Do you still remember that I always asked you if you have any hidden agendas regarding OUR MATTERS? Because you and your friends are famous as a casanova in our university. But you say you really love me and I should believe you, at that time I gave all my trust to you. We become lovers, we were in love every day with each other. I guess. You became my companion, my friend, and you never failed to surprise me. In our two years relationship before, I never think of breaking up with you. Till I accidentally overheard your conversation with your friend. You told them that you won the bet because I become your girlfriend and you include that you don't love me and I was just your rebound. You will never fall in love with a good-for-nothing girl like me. when I heard those lines coming from your mouth, I couldn't believe that the man was talking is you, so I peak at the room and I saw you holding hands with your ex-girlfriend. That is the ending of my telltale, do you think that I should ask permission from someone who treated me as an idiot?" she said, I can feel all the pain she felt while she's telling the story of our past, I can see tears at the corner of her eyes but she's holding on not to let it fall.

I held her hands and apologized to her nicely.

"No, you don't have to. I already forget that" she exclaimed.

"But I feel guilt for what I did to you before, I'm really sorry Kelly for making you feel like that." I refused.

She pulled her hands away from me and said, "Okay, that's it. It's getting late. Let's not meet each other again and don't let your friend meet my friend. Leave her alone, she can't handle another burden to her life." she begs, I certainly agree in everything she says but why do I feel that there is a sudden pain on my heart and I feel like it's getting heavier. Is it because she says to not meet her again?

I went out of the car and open the door for Kelly, she went out and walk away from me and didn't say anything. I just watch her back and hoping that she looks back at me but I didn't get a glance or even a wave from her.

I still remember when I first saw Kelly Clarkson at the gym, everyone was shouting at us while we are playing basketball but she was the only one who caught my attention, she is studious but not like a nerd. She is a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart, she loves to volunteer in any school activities, she likes to dance, she loves to read books and she loves to take photos.

At that time, I thought I was admiring her because she is pretty and I wanted her to be one of my girlfriends. If I will be her boyfriend many students will get jealous, so I decided to gamble with my friends and promised them that Kelly Clarkson will be my girlfriend within two-weeks.

I courted her and she agreed to be my girlfriend. Our relationship lasts for two years, I felt guilty for doing this to her. I slowly fell in love with her, she is sweet, nice, and kind. I never heard any bad words coming from her, she was always grateful for what she has.

At that moment, I decided to stop the bet with my friends but my ex-girlfriend came with us and overheard our conversation she wanted to get back to me she told me if I did not agree she will tell the truth to Kelly. I got scared, I don't want Kelly to get hurt, I can't do anything but accept my ex-girlfriend. 

"I don't love her and she was just my rebound. I will never fall in love with a good-for-nothing girl like her." I just say those words out of jealousy because I saw her having fun with his guy friend at the canteen.

I wanted her back but I bet it will be hard this time, I know that she's mad at me even she's acting calm. I am the reason for her broken heart but this time I want to be the one to fix her heart. I am just hoping that she let me fix it for her, and let me love her again. 

I lean on my car and looked up at the sky, the moon is shining and round tonight. The stars are scattered upon the sky. If I could have the chance to go back to the past I would love to be with her forever.
