CHAPTER FOUR: WALKING AWAY

ELLE’S POV

I definitely physically felt my heart break in my chest and in the moment i felt such a disappointing feeling like someone betrayed me so much which is crazy but still not far fetched.

I should not be feeling this way its my own fault the guy does not even know of my feelings i cannot blame anyone but my self right now its me who had started liking him and with the way am feeling right now looks like i had fallen too deep in love with him and that is why i was hurting this bad.

Its my own doing for putting my heart on the line when no one even asked that of me, he has never showed me he felt that kind of way for me except for friendship and a brother kind of love so there is no one to blame but me for being delusional.

The girl Elena is really beautiful and that does not help the matter at all, Claire who is standing next to me looks at me and she feels my sadness i almost felt like crying but i can't do it right now, that would be embarrassing.

So i take a deep breath and smile a real genuine smile i should be happy for him its his life, he looks happy to be standing next to the girl and what is important is that my best-friend is happy, we are not getting any younger this should be the next steps in our lives its his birthday and he is getting older this might be what he needed, he already has everything i just wish it was me making his life complete but i should be happy for him regardless.

" Am sorry babe, but You will be fine" Claire whispers to me and i just nod to her.

I look at him waiting for him to see me but he is avoiding me i guess he if feeling guilty for not telling me about her, but i am the host of the party so at-least he should introduce me to his girl friend after all am also his best friend.

But maybe he will find me later on and tell me about this girl or maybe not but he will have to talk to me either way so for now lets focus on the birthday celebration so people can be happy.

Even though am hurting i let everything go aside and i put on my fake smile and i get the party started.

So people welcome the girl and everybody is talking to Jack and some are talking to Elena as the night goes on, i get tired from talking to people so i go to sit on the sofa as i watch everything unfold, i see my brother Luca watching me as he is standing next to Jack i see his understanding eyes but i don't know what he knows.

When the time to cut the cake comes i look at everybody cause am supposed to make this party continue on, Claire comes to tell me to go do it but all i feel right now is the need to go home so i can cry in my blankets in peace his girlfriend should do it.

But anyway I still go and get everything sorted, after the cake was cut people are getting their pieces and eating and drinking i realise if am careful no one will notice if i just sneak off and go home now,

I go in the kitchen to take my car keys and purse but because life has it bad for me i walk in a situation i did not really need to see tonight there in the kitchen is my best-friend Claire and my Brother Luca chest to chest kissing the life out of each other,

Am not really shocked because it was bound to happen they have had it for each other for so long it was even driving me crazy how they kept ignoring each others presence, am happy for them it seems like everything is working out for everybody except me today.

They stop when they hear somebody enter and Claire looks guilty and shy but Luca has a smirk on his face as usual. So to make Claire's worries go away i match in and i hug her because am genuinely happy for her i even forget my own worries for a second .

"Took you too long enough to get together", i say to them and smile.

“am good at being patient dear sister", Luca says with his smug face on while Claire just keeps turning red.

"so i guess if i leave just now, you will drop off my Claire here safely home?,i ask Luca, “i am kind of running away right now unless you want to go with me girl and leave your Prince Charming here by himself"?

"She is staying", Luca answers. “And sorry about Jack ," he says, A knowing look in his eyes which might suggest he knows more about how Elle feels about his best friend.

"i don't know what you are talking about Luca" i lie to his face. Surely her brother knows nothing.

I say goodbye to the two new love birds and i grab my stuff and leave through the back door i just need to get out of here my duty is done, because it looks like the birthday boy had his wishes come

true today.

As she closes the back door walking away she overhears Luca voice as he comes into the kitchen as she just left asking about her, she ignores them deciding not to go back in as she walks away to her car.
