TWO

Michelle's POV_

"If you're seeking those kinds of things with me Michelle, then I'm afraid it's never going to happen." He said with a straight face.

"But we...." I trailed as I got overwhelmed by my emotions. "But you're my mate." I said softly. "Shouldn't mates be together forever? Aren't we supposed to be committed to each other?"

Shawn ruffled his hair. "I already told you this Michelle, there's no such thing as commitment or a long lasting relationship, I'm not really into this soulmate thing. Just because we're mates doesn't guarantee a future filled with bliss forever, it doesn't guarantee that something won't go wrong along the line and cause us to separate, feelings can change Michelle, so you better wake up and face the reality of things."

"I refuse to be tied down with marriage as an excuse, in fact I think it's best we end things here, I can't give you all that you've asked, it's best we both end things and go our separate ways."

The moment he said those words, my blood boiled with so much rage and pain, I ended up slapping him so hard across the face.

"How could you just say those words so easily!? How can you simply end our two years relationship in such a way!? Are you this heartless Shawn, how could you do this to me?" I cried.

"I'm not going to fall for this emotional black mail Michelle, so just pack your bags and leave my house already." He spat, his eyes were so cold and the only thing visible in his eyes was hate and anger.

"I can't believe this Shawn, I can't believe that you would do this to me."

"You asked for it so don't even dare to play the victim here, and besides, I was getting tired of you anyways, so let's just end things here and go our separate ways." He said and then he walked out without sparing me a second glance.

I dropped to my knees and I wept bitterly, this only proves how meaningless I was to Shawn, he never truly loved me, everything we've shared has been nothing but a charade, the amount of time we've been together meant nothing to him.

I felt so betrayed, I felt so angry, but I wasn't as angry at Shawn as I was with myself. I saw the signs, I saw it all, but since we were both mated to each other, I kept on hoping that things would eventually work out.

I managed to calm myself down a little, I got dressed and I packed all my things. On my way out, I didn't even see Shawn, he not only threw me away like a rag, he's also avoiding me now.

I had nowhere else to go except to the dorm I and Mirabel were staying at before I moved in with Shawn.

I placed a knock on the door and after a few minutes, the door opened.

"Michelle!?" Mirabel called in surprised. "What are you..." She trailed when she saw the tears in my eyes.

I instantly hugged her and cried bitterly on her shoulder.

We stayed that way for sometime as Mirabel tried her best to comfort me, when I was calm we then went inside.

"What happened Michelle? Did you and Shawn have an argument?" She asked worriedly.

"He doesn't love me Mira, he doesn't love me nor value me, I mean nothing to him, absolutely nothing!" I cried out.

"Come on Michelle, don't say that, you know Shawn loves you, you two have been together for two years and he's been good to you."

"But that's not it, he doesn't love me at all, can you imagine what he said to me!" I then explained all that happened to her.

"What!!?" She screamed in shock when I was done. "He said that?" She asked and I nodded.

"This is unbelievable, I find this so hard to believe."

"I was too blinded by a false hope that I failed to see the reality of things, all Shawn cares about was just sex and nothing more, he bluntly told me that he sees no future with me, he said I was still living in a fairy tale world and to wake up from my slumber because nothing like that will ever happen between us."

"It hurts so bad Mira, it hurts right here." I placed a hand on my chest. "I love Shawn too much and I never imagined that a day like this will eventually come. What am I going to do Mira? What am I going to do now?" I sobbed.

Mirabel sighed deeply and then she pulled me in a hug, she kept on patting my back and assuring me that everything is going to be okay.

That night, Mirabel refused to leave my side, she ended up cuddling me to sleep.

When I woke up the next day, I made a decision to try and fend for myself, all this while, Shawn has been the one catering for me, he refused for me to work or do anything and insisted I focus on my school.

Now that things already turned out like this, I can't continue depending on Shawn, I can't continue accepting any help from him financially or whatsoever. It's now time for me to stand on my own two feet and try to build a better future for myself.

Yes I was still very much heartbroken, the pain Shawn inflicted in my heart is one that's never going to be easily forgotten. I'm still very much in love with Shawn but I hope to try and move on with my life and hopefully, with time, I'm going to forget about Shawn.

The first thing I wanted to do was get a job, at least that way, I'll be able to take care of my expenses.

Days ran into weeks with no call from Shawn or anything and it eventually dawned on me that we were really over.

It's all over.
