When A Bully Falls In Love 16
~AOIFE~It’s been a week, and I was back to my regular routine at work. And not to forget, I still didn’t know who wanted to kill me, so I tried my best to lie low from Xander and his friends' radar.Out of the blue, I got a card, and it was from none other than Xander. He apologized for his actions, but as I promised Matt, I was done with him. I threw that card in the trash and pretended I had never seen it. For the last two days, he’s tried to talk to me and even showed up at the library, but I was lucky to hide myself with Miss Agnes help. Watching him made me feel vulnerable, and I wouldn’t say I liked the feeling of giving him a chance to clear the air. I hoped he would stop trying to reach me, but I was wrong.It’s Friday, and Luka, Clara, and I planned a movie night. Aunt Agnes needed to see her doctor, so she left early, leaving me responsible for closing the library. I dropped a message to meet my friends in an hour and wrapped up my work quickly. No one was there in the libr
When A Bully Falls In Love 17
~Xander~I wanted to kill the bastard who slapped her. I didn’t know why she protected him, even after he hit her. Don’t tell me he’s her eternal love. I rolled my eyes at the thought. My anger burst inside me like a volcano when I saw her hugging his unconscious body in the car. If I would have acted like him, beaten and unconscious, maybe she would have shown concern for me, too.How could she love a junkie? Can’t she see he is not good enough for her? My blood was boiling, and I totally forgot about my hand, which was hurting like hell. That idiot hit me with a knuckle duster. Didn’t she see her lover hit me?I slammed the door as Matt tried to help him get into the car. Give me another chance, and I will break him in two.We reached the hospital, and the staff took Caleb on the stretcher. No doubt she would follow him to the emergency room, so I sat on his car hood just watching her gush over him.Matt came out as I was nursing my hand. “Come, let’s go,” he said, waving me toward
When A Bully Falls In Love 18
~Aoife~How innocent those glossy brown eyes looked when they were calm, but how did I forget how much pain they have given me in the last few days? I was angry at him for ruining everything I loved, but the way he blamed me for sleeping with others and making assumptions about Caleb hurt me. It broke me more when he knew he was hurting me, but he didn’t stop himself.Why did he want to hurt me? Why did he act like I was responsible for answering him for everything in my life?His words cut into my heart like a knife, but I could feel the pain in his eyes. There is a lot more going on in our minds. I was unsure about him, but his constant apologies for continuous ill-tempered actions didn’t justify it. All I knew was everything he offered shattered me, and when he dragged my mom’s name into this, I slapped him.Yes, I slapped him to make him stop assuming things about me. I wanted to run away from all this. I can’t understand what was going on between Xander and me. The more I tried to
When A Bully Falls In Love 19
~Xander~There was peace in my heart after going through an emotional upheaval between Aoife and me. Her words echoed in my ears again and again. And there was nothing I could think of to fix the situation. Why did I behave like a selfish brat?What was happening to me? I didn’t have a clue.It could be the first time I was getting constant rejection from a single girl who kept me around her finger, and I was not too fond of the thought of her arrogance affecting me so intensely. Maybe I was not ready to accept the change her presence made in me.I didn’t want to accept that I was falling for her, either. Is this even real because I am not a man that falls in love?A bully who never falls in love. Love binds freedom, and I am a free spirit.Shut it down... I screamed at myself in the hospital and punched the picture on the wall. After the influence of sedatives came down, I woke up.Raph was sitting next to my bed, working on his laptop.“Hey,” I said in a raspy voice.“This time you b

~Aoife~“Aoife, come out,” Clara screamed.“How do I look?” I answered with a nervous tone in my voice.“Super hot, babe. I hope we will find some hotties at the party.” She winked at me.We had tried dozens of dresses and it took four hours to choose the two for us. After shopping, we took our bags and went to grab a quick lunch.After I came home from the hospital, unnecessary stress consumed me. I can’t control things like Caleb’s health and Xander’s unpredictable nature, but when she popped up at my door with a piece of good news, I was excited to get out of the dorm room for a while. She told me about her sister’s engagement with her love of life. She invited me to her sister’s engagement party, and I found this opportunity could be my rescue from my current situation. I accepted her invitation, and here we are shopping around. She insisted I come shopping with her as her sister and mother were busy with ceremony arrangements.According to her, she has a large family, and most mem
When A Bully Falls In Love 21
~Xander~I am happy for my brother, but the ceremony and the meeting of the families drive me crazy. How could you expect to greet an unknown person with a broad smile and ask them, is everything okay in your life? Is your baby fine? What happened to your son? When are you going to join the family business?Well, let’s see. I don’t have any future plans and I’m sick of all these questions. How’s that for an answer?I am not a social person like my mom and Raphael. They can talk to strangers, but I keep my circle limited to a select group of people. She wanted me to attend the ceremony, otherwise, I would have run from here. I rather enjoy my day with my PlayStation, food, rest, movies, and swimming as I always do.Before the party, my mother opened the invitation for family members to crash at our house while in town for the party. I don’t have a massive family like Zoey’s, but big enough to bug me. Mom was going on and on to me about her whole family and how happy they were to meet ou
When A Bully Falls In Love 22
~Aoife~It’s hard to know exactly who Xander is to me. One moment he’s the worst, and the next, he behaves like a perfect gentleman. He made me cry, and today he made me blush with just a gaze, telling some hidden story behind those eyes. That was the first time I was not scared of him, and I saw a glimpse of his genuine emotions. Or should I say, the first time I looked closely enough into his glossy brown eyes to see it. Matt was right about him. When he wants to, he can behave like a gentleman. I loved the way he tried to hide my back with my hair. He is protective of his unique way, and I genuinely enjoyed dancing with him. There was something in his touch that gave me chills. Whether I’m willing to accept it, something is going on between us. His protective nature or possessiveness always surprises me.He rolled his eyes when we were disturbed by Zareena, and I felt like she peeled him from my hand. I needed to control these emotions. After all, he’s not mine.With a deep breath,
When A Bully Falls In Love 23
~Xander~How can I allow her to go out with that guy when she’s drunk?Not possible. I have been watching Zach since the time they first danced together. He was trying to get cozy with her and thought making her drunk would help him get with her quickly. But guess what? I was watching his every move.I followed Aoife and was happy to see her headed towards my room. When she tried to leave to meet back up with him, brought her right back to my room and locked the door behind us. She was screaming and hitting me, but her punches were like a massage on my back.I delicately placed her on the ground. She glared at me and tried to run, but I slipped her again into my arms.“Why did you bring me back in here?” “I want you to stay here with me?” I answered while fixing her hair. She blinked heavy eyes at me.“Why would I want to stay here? I want to go with Zach. Besides, you’re angry at me for something, and I don’t know why.” I cornered her, placing my arms on both sides. “Aoife...”“Are

When A Bully Falls In Love Epilogue
~Aoife~I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as I prepared for my wedding day. The room was filled with love and happiness, and Neeral was helping fix my perfect bun, adjusting my veil. I finally looked at myself in the mirror, and tears welled up in my eyes.“It feels like I’m dreaming,” I breathed, my voice filled with emotion.“No, you’re not. This is what you’ve always wanted,” a familiar voice came from the corner of the room. I turned and saw Gabriel and Angel walking towards me.“Congratulations,” Angel said, hugging me tightly.“Thank you.” Gabriel cupped my face and gently kissed the top of my head. “I can’t help but wonder what’s going to happen now.” “What do you mean?” “You’re pregnant.” Confusion furrowed my brow. “That means Xander should be prepared to get his ass kicked by you.” He chuckled. We all laughed, enjoying the lighthearted moment.“No, I’ve done this before, and I know how to compose myself.” “No, you don’t know how to comp

~Aoife~My eyes welled up with tears as I listened to Matt and Neeral’s story, realizing the depth of their love and the challenges they had faced. Even Xander, sitting beside me, seemed lost in his thoughts, his gaze fixed on them. Matt, seated next to Neeral, gently caressed her belly and planted a tender kiss on her head, a gesture filled with love and anticipation.“This is our story,” he said, a smile gracing his face as he glanced towards us, his friends. The room fell into an awkward silence as the weight of their emotional journey settled upon us. Unable to contain my emotions, I stood up and embraced Neeral tightly, feeling gratitude for the strength and love she had shown even when Matt was filled with hatred.“Thank you for loving him when he hated you,” I whispered, my voice choking with emotion. Then I turned to Matt and hugged him as well. “And thank you for loving her when she lost all hope in you.”Xander nodded in agreement, silently acknowledging the profound impact
When A Bully Falls In Love 116
~Neeral~Eight Months Later…It had been eight long months since I last laid eyes on Matt, yet my heart still ached from the moment I left him. When he unexpectedly showed up in Seattle, seeking my forgiveness, I foolishly allowed a glimmer of hope to flicker within me. But I soon realized that it was nothing more than a gesture of a gentleman asking for forgiveness, devoid of any deeper feelings. In an attempt to distance myself, I cut off all social contacts and disappeared from social media, keeping a low profile.I didn’t know if I was hiding from Matt or simply afraid of what might transpire if he discovered I was now residing in Austin. I had started a new job at a local publication house, which paid enough for me to survive. I rented a house with new friends, and everything seemed to be going well. However, every weekend served as a reminder of my solitude, as my friends would retreat to their families’ or boyfriends’ houses. To fool my longing heart, I sometimes found myself s
When A Bully Falls In Love 115
~Neeral~Despite having crushed Taylor’s heart, he selflessly requested that I stay and help him finish the work in Seattle before I left for Austin. I agreed, feeling a sense of responsibility towards him. He didn’t complain or question me about the person responsible for his heartbreak. His kindness and understanding only intensified my guilt.Taylor had planned a farewell dinner for me, but he had to leave abruptly due to his father’s illness. He apologized and asked me to stay in Seattle for another week to assist him. As he departed, I found myself alone in the chilly city, fully engrossed in completing the pending work before my departure.Returning to my cottage, I was greeted by John and his wife, who had been taking care of the place. They had prepared a delicious meal for me, and I thanked them with a smile. However, the atmosphere took a sudden turn when John informed me that someone had come looking for me earlier but refused to provide his name.Confused, I frowned and ca

~Matt~Mending a broken heart felt like an impossible task, akin to building a sandcastle in a perpetually wet place. No matter how hard I tried, a wave would inevitably crash upon me, obliterating everything I had painstakingly constructed. How foolish was I to find myself in the same situation again?I had developed a special connection with Neeral, only to witness her accepting Taylor’s ring. Falling in love once more required effort, but I failed to nurture it. Our story seemed to leap to its climax before it even had a chance to begin.When Taylor proposed to her, I struggled to understand how I should react. Should I direct my anger toward him or at myself? I didn’t dare express my feelings to her, and she didn’t wait for me either. We shared a bond, but my confusion persisted. Was it friendship or something more? An unsettling fear crawled beneath my skin.What if I told her how I felt, and she left me like Aoife did? What if I asked her to wait, allowing me to discern if my em
When A Bully Falls In Love 113
~Neeral~After my heartfelt conversation with Taylor, I returned home. He had expressed his love for me with such joy, but Matt’s reaction to my proposal left me astounded. Why did he act like such a jerk? He had never seen me as anything more than a friend, so why did it seem like he was unhappy?With a stack of files in my hands, I struggled to open the door to my house. It was already 8 o’clock, and Matt wasn’t home. I called him, but he didn’t answer. I sent him a message, and I saw the three dots indicating that he was typing, but no reply came.Feeling a mix of worry and frustration, I decided to take a quick shower, prepare dinner, and keep myself busy with work. I waited for him at the dinner table for a long time, but he never showed up.My eyes wandered to the ring Taylor had given me. It was beautiful, and it brought a faint smile to my face. Perhaps one day, I would be able to love Taylor as deeply as I had loved Matt.Lost in my thoughts, my phone chimed. It was Taylor on
When A Bully Falls In Love 112
~Neeral~It had been two weeks since that horrible incident happened to me, and a strange feeling of suffocation took hold of my heart. I thought I could survive as Matt’s friend, but the closer we got, the more I felt myself drowning in pain. I couldn’t see myself as just his friend anymore. This realization reached its peak when he referred to me as his close friend in front of his family.Last weekend, we went to meet his parents. They welcomed me with open arms. It felt nice because I missed my mom so much. Matt told them about Aoife and Xander, and it surprised his parents to hear about those incidents. They were happy that I stood by Matt’s side, but I cursed myself for creating so much pain for myself. I was foolish to let him enter my heart, and now it was enough. I needed to move on.I created profiles on dating apps, hoping to find someone who would help me forget about Matt. However, my bad luck struck again when he saw an email notification from a dating app on my laptop.“
When A Bully Falls In Love 111
“Matt!” I screamed, desperation and fear filling my voice.Suddenly, someone forcibly pulled him away from me, and all I could hear was Victor’s agonized scream before I heard his feet on the floor as he rushed out of the house. Matt came barging back into the room, and as my senses slowly returned, I scrambled to cover my nakedness.Shivering and bleeding from my lips, I looked up at Matt, hoping for his protection and salvation. He scratched my face and body, leaving visible marks of his assault, and all I wanted was to be safe in Matt’s arms. “Hey, are you okay?” Matt’s voice trembled with concern as he hurried to my side. He grabbed a bedsheet and gently wrapped it around me, shielding me from the world’s harshness. Tears streamed down my face, and I couldn’t help but feel disgusted when I looked at myself.“It’s all my fault... I am worthless,” I whimpered, my voice filled with self-loathing.Matt’s eyes widened with disbelief, and he reached out to touch my trembling shoulder.
