~Aoife~I prepared myself for the evening. It was Zareena’s birthday, but my heart was pounding to meet Xander. I feel like I will see him after years, imagining the scene a thousand times; I will run into his arms, kiss him and tell him how much I love him, or should I wait for him?I wanted to wear something beautiful to catch his attention. And I know how much he appreciates the simplicity.On that note, I took out my baby pink dress. It’s a long-sleeved, off-shoulder dress to peep my skin. It came all the way down to my knees as the delicate lace flower enhanced the beauty of my body. Keeping my pendant to highlight my dress, I made my hair in a perfect bun. Falling strands and light makeup. I wanted to remind him of everything we had; we enjoyed it when we were on the Island.I love you, Xander. And today, I want every awful thing between us to go away. I reached the place.Undoubtedly, Zareena’s house was enormous. She’s a rich girl, and her parents seem to be very close friends

Xander tried to tell me something, but my anger and hurtful feelings were mixed already; all I wanted was to disappear from there. I sat in a taxi and told the driver to drive.The driver kept asking me about my destination; I told him to drive wherever he wanted. My heart and mind were casting different channels of emotions for Xander, my heart wanted to trust him, but my mind was battling with the facts. How did Zareena know about the moments we spent on that Island?How does she know every detail between Xander and me? Until and unless someone told her.And how could I forget no one was there exce

Matt brought Aoife to his place. It was hard for Aoife to walk; he had to pick her up to bring her to the couch. “Aoife, are you ok?” He was concerned. She looked bad. Her swollen eyes and makeup were all over her face. “I am not, Matt,” she replied to him while walking towards the bathroom. Matt was tensed when he saw her like this. He called Neeral. “Hey, thank you so much. But can I ask why you allowed her to drink this much?” Neeral sighed and told him about Aoife. “Matt, I came here with Victor. He is my cousin; I saw her and tried to stop her, but she was already drunk.” “I think she’s hurt by something. She was saying something about Xander. I didn’t understand, but I am sure something happened between them. They fought over something. She was upset, and Victor tried to get the benefit of her; I am sorry,” It filled her shaky voice with pain; rejection from Matt was still fresh in her heart. She saved the love of Matt while sacrificing her own. Victor slapped her also f

When A Bully Falls In Love LIX
~Xander~ I opened the door of her room and quietly waited for her to come. I followed her from her dinner and listened to everything they talked about while sitting at the bar. I was two bottles down, drowned in the sorrows. How easily she forgets me. Yesterday she ran from my place and didn’t give me a chance to explain myself. I was restless when I saw her crying, but she was behaving as if nothing had happened. Does that mean whatever happened yesterday was nothing for her? My love was nothing for her. The most painful moment I remember that screeched my heart when I saw her hiding behind Matt. Where the hell did Matt come in between us? I wanted to ask this question today. I went to talk to her, and she didn’t even look at me. Why are there so many misunderstandings, Aoife? I waited for her to come to her room, as I wanted to be alone. Here she comes with careful steps. “Hello,” She opened the light and entered the room. “Xander, what are you doing here?” I came to get

~Aoife~ The sun shone through the sheer curtains, making me feel alive, but my body curled when all the memories from the night before flooded back into my mind. Strangely, your body knows exactly when to shut down all emotions while asleep. With open eyes, I could feel the warmth of sun rays on my body, and an unintentional tear automatically rolled from my eyes. “Welcome to reality, Aoife.” I didn’t know when a single tear turned into weeping. In weeping, there was the truth, a story of love told in tears. A tale of pain and a broken heart. How could he think like this about Matt and me? I saw my ripped blouse on the other side of the bed. I feel the same. A ripped-off soul from Xander’s hand. My body was aching, and my dizzy head. It took me a minute to sit on my bed. It must be the stress. I got up from the bed and got myself into the bathroom. The sensation of throwing up was still there. I looked at myself in the mirror and busted into tears again. Stop, Aoife. Stop hu
