When A Bully Falls In Love 31
“Let go of my hand,” I whispered, facing back to him. He moved closer, whispering the words I did not expect. “Aoife, please... stay...” It was hard for me as it was getting away from his grip.“Please don’t leave me,” he begged, dropping my hand.I took a few steps back, needing space between us. “I am sorry. Aoife...” his voice changed completely. I turned and looked at him, pursing my lips together, attempting to stop the tears in my eyes.“I am sorry.”I didn’t know why I listened to him. But I knew when I looked into his eyes, it would break me.“Can we go for a walk?I didn’t say a word and started following him. The rustling of the dry leaves and the moonlight filled the environment. We were quiet for a long while before he once again placed the jacket over my shoulder, and I didn’t find a reason to jerk it away.“I am sorry for what I said earlier. I didn’t mean to say that, but it happened,” Xander whispered. “Can you forgive me?” He looked through the corner of his eyes.

~Aoife~In silence, we went back to the cottage after he fixed his jacket over my shoulders, and I could feel his warmth envelop my body. We hardly said ten sentences, but I felt light-hearted next to him now. It’s early to say, and maybe wrong, but I believed he completed me the way I had never felt before.The only thing was to not to let him know. His playboy image didn’t suit me, nor change how I thought about him.We reached the cottage, and we quietly entered the house. Suddenly, someone turned on the lights and we found Zareena standing before us, and if looks could kill, she would have given me ten deaths now.“What are you doing with him? Didn’t I tell you to stay away from my man?” “I... I...” She pushed me, and I hit the floor.“Hey!” Xander thundered. “What the hell are you doing?”I got up, fixing myself, trying to present something in my defense. Before I could speak, Xander came in between us.“Back off. Don’t talk to her like that.” He snarled at her.“Seriously, Xan.

The group left me at my dorm later that day. I thought about calling Matt, but I was unsure about the chance of him being with Xander or Zareena. Either way, he always seems to be the responsible one who always handles other people’s messes. I went for a hot shower to relax my mind and finally focus on my studies. I was flipping through my books, busy making notes, when suddenly my phone buzzed.“Hello, Aoife. Where are you?” Matt blurted out.“I am in my room. Why? What happened?” I replied.“I need you to go to the city hospital right now. It’s urgent.”“Why, are you okay?” I panicked.“I am fine. It’s Xander; he had an accident and didn’t call anyone except me. So please don’t call anyone.”“But where are you?”“After dropping Zareena off, I came to visit my mom. It’s a two-hour journey, but don’t worry, I’m on my way,” he answered. “Please check on him and call me.”“Okay, I’m on my way.” I hastily grabbed my stuff, changed my clothes, and headed toward the hospital. God, please

~Aoife~When we reached the dorm, I asked for the door keys from Xander.“It’s in my pocket,” he smirked as he tilted his waist towards me.I rolled my eyes as I tried to take out the keys.“Little to the left… yeah, there.” His signature devilish smile played on his face, thinking he was being slick.I opened the door, helped him settle on the bed because he was limping, and placed his things from the hospital on the table. Looking around to find some privacy, I asked casually. “Would you like to take off the clothes?”With the same smile, he raised a brow at me. “I would love to,” he teased as he pulled my crop top.“What? No, no. I mean your clothes. I think you should change out of these ripped things.” I didn’t even have to wonder what was going on in his naughty head.“Oh Yeah,” he frowned as he blew out his cheeks. “But I can’t lift this hand. I’m pretty banged up.” “I am sure your entire body is sore,” I added.Something was cooking in his head. He tried to tease me; now it’

A diary hidden behind other books. I opened it and started reading and it was full of beautiful letters to an unknown person. Someone wrote it to a beautiful girl, and the writer was clearly male. Shaking me from my thoughts, Matt came out as he slammed the door behind his back.“What are you doing?” He burst out his anger at me.“I am reading this journal. Who is this? It’s beautiful,” holding the diary I questioned. Matt’s eyes popped open wide, and he snatched his diary from my hand.“How can you touch somebody’s stuff without asking?” he snorted.I looked at him with shock, not expecting his anger to spill over on me.“I’m sorry.” Looking into my worried eyes, he regretted the very next moment he yelled at me.“It’s mine,” he added. A smile reached my eyes when I heard he wrote all those letters and poems.“Are you in love with someone? Only a person who is in love could write so beautifully,” I excitedly said.“I am not in love with someone, and even if I am, I would not tell

~Xander~Consumed, huh? She wants love and passion in her life. Am I capable of it? But I like her. Being with her, I feel free.There was an urge inside me to be with her all the time. Listening to her melodious voice and watching those sparks in her eyes when she talks about falling in love. It’s not only a physical attraction; I found myself emotionally involved. Her tears, smile, and how she expressed her worry for me in the hospital touched me deeply. How am I going to convince her to give me a chance to fall in love with her? I know she and Matt had a strong bond, but I know he sees her as a friend. I was lost in my thoughts as she entered with a hot soup bowl in her hand.“Hot chicken soup for you, sir.” She smiled as the clouds of vapors covered her beautiful face.“Help me.” I winked.“Hahaha... I know, but no more teasing me.” She sat near me as she blew the hot soup with her plump, red lips. “Where’s Matt?” “He is talking to his mom.” “He is still angry with me.” I sigh

~Matt~Quietly, I took the laptop from her lap while she slept comfortably. While sitting on the floor, I watched her for a long time. Pushing a long curly hair behind her ear, it tickled her, and the edge of her lip curled up as she slept.“I wish I could tell you who my inspiration is,” I whispered and pecked a delicate kiss on her head.Reaching down, I held her hand in mine for a moment, caressing her cheek with the other. A smile played on my face when I thought about how she followed me like a baby and wanted me to listen to her. She is an innocent girl with a pure heart.“I am scared to lose you if I tell you what I feel for you,” I murmured as I put her hand under the blanket.~Aoife~My phone buzzed from my phone alarm, and I cursed that sound. “Shut up.” I covered my ears.I never liked winter days if I had to get up in the morning. I pulled my warm blanket over me with the thought of taking a quick nap. We all like that small nap after our alarm buzzes; the sleep between t

~AOIFE~As decided prior, Matt and I headed toward the address on the email. It was an old building at the heart of downtown. There was no place for parking, so we had to park a few blocks away from the building. As expected, Matt had an attitude about forcing him to go there. “I am telling you, it’s not gonna work.” “Let’s just check one time.” I dragged him with me.We went upstairs and reached the fourth floor.Future Life Magazine was the name on the door. I didn’t expect this would be the place and looked at each other with confusion. Matt’s peer told me he was about to scold me for wasting his time.“Future Life? That is not the future I want, Aoife,” he snorted.I was desperate enough to prove him wrong. The magazine was one of the more reputable magazines, and the sight in front of me didn’t justify the reputation.The office was filled with papers and files on one side. Old chairs and broken windows make it look like the oldest place in this century, filled with old magazine

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

~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

~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

~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.“

“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.
