~Xander~I hadn’t slept until early in the morning, and there was no way I could get up in a few hours. I slept till after five in the evening.I found Aoife called me, but my head was spinning badly, so I hung up the phone. After some time, I drank a few glasses of lemon water and took pain relief pills to control my dizzy head. It’s not medicine; my body wanted Aoife. I wanted her in my arms. I missed her terribly.Once I found myself better, I scanned my phone, finding Aoife’s missed calls with a single message.Matt won the competition. Great, that was good news. Hastily, I prepared myself for the party. But when I came down from my room, Mom called me to meet Zareena’s family who visited to check on Mom’s health.Whether I wanted it or not, I had to sit there. I missed my big brother; if he had been here, he would have taken care of these guests. But he was out handling our projects in different states.I talked to Zareena’s dad, listening to him lecturing me to be the man of the

~Aoife~I awoke with a pounding head. Xander was sleeping beside me. I groaned in agony, feeling as if a cannon had exploded in my head. I shouldn't have consumed that much alcohol.I scanned his face and wondered how I fell in love with this man. As much as I love him, I am scared to get my heart broken by him. I stood up and walked towards the bathroom, where I saw I was not wearing anything.Great, so I slept with him even when I was angry with him. I rolled my eyes, but my aching body and the glow on my face after an intense moment with him made me feel happy. Whatever it was, I would talk to him, and we would sort everything out. I showered and wrapped my body in a clean towel just to go out and search for last night’s dress.I found the dress, but it was hard to discover my other belongings that needed to be worn under it.“Where did he throw them?” I muttered and looked under the bed, where undergarments were found. I took them out as I looked closely. They were definitely not

~Xander~Aoife, Aoife, Aoife. Her name and her words didn’t leave me for a second. How could she say Matt and she became sex friends? All the things my mother tried to tell me, I could feel it was becoming a reality.But how could I forget her? Did she really mean what she said?Luckily, Zareena took the stand for me. She saw how vulnerable I felt without Aoife. It was her birthday, and she wanted her to join her party. She wants to clear everything between Aoife and me.“Xander, I know Aoife doesn’t like me, but I want to talk to her about us. I will tell her we are just friends, and you love her only. I am going to invite her whether you like it or not. I want you two to clear everything up.” She hugged me.“I hope she understands our friendship. Like I understood Matt and her,” I murmured to myself.Although I don’t know what happened to me, after her confession, I started seeing things with doubts and knew it was wrong. My heart didn’t want to accept it. It’s hard to find peace bet

~Aoife~I prepared myself for the evening ahead. It was Zareena’s birthday, but my heart was pounding to meet Xander. I feel like I haven’t seen him in years, imagining the scene tonight a thousand times in my head. 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 that shows some skin. It came all the way down to my knees as the delicate lace flower enhanced the beauty of my body. After putting on my pendant to highlight my dress, I pulled my hair into a perfect bun and wore light makeup. I wanted to remind him of everything we had on the Island.I love you, Xander. And today, I want every awful thing between us to go away. I reached the place and undoubtedly, Zareena’s house was enormous. She’s a rich girl, and her parents seem to be very close

~Aoife~I felt like my heart was howling alone. Zareena gave the truth that hit me hard. I never expected those words would pierce like a knife in my heart and create a vacuum I could not handle alone. I looked at Xander and sensed he regretted that moment of truth.He acted like he knew nothing. Seriously?It was a war zone between my feelings and a twisted lie in my mind. Xander tried to tell me something, but my anger and hurt were blinding. 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 and 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 unless someone told her? And how could I forget no one was there except Xander and me?“Why did you break my

~Matt~I brought Aoife to my place. It was hard for her to walk, so I had to pick her up to bring her to the couch.“Aoife, are you okay?” She looked bad. Her swollen eyes and makeup were all over her face. “No. I am not, Matt,” she replied while walking towards the bathroom.I tensed from seeing her like this and called Neeral.“Hey, thank you so much. But can I ask why you allowed her to drink this much?” Neeral sighed. “Matt, I came here with Victor. He is my cousin. I found her drunk and tried to stop her, but she wasn’t listening. I think something's bothering her. She was saying something about Xander. I didn’t understand, but I am sure something happened between them. She was upset, and Victor tried to take advantage of her. I am sorry.”I could hear her voice was filled with pain. Rejection from me was still fresh in her heart. She told me Victor slapped her also for calling me. He left her alone in the pub.I looked toward the bathroom and heard a thud from inside.“Thank y

~Matt~Aoife was sleeping while I looked at her, assuring her protection from Xander. My eyes become wet while caressing her cheeks. She feared Xander, and somehow, I knew it was my fault to let Aoife get close to the man who would never understand a pure heart like hers.“It’s all my fault, Aoife. Because of me, you are enduring this pain.”I remembered the day I saw her for the first time. The way she lied to me that she fell on the stairs. I knew Zareena had hurt her.Her simplicity made me fall in love with her instantly.Later, when she opened up with me, I found myself lucky to find a pure girl like her. I was about to open my heart when I saw Xander’s attitude change in Aoife’s presence. Aoife was changing Xander, and it was a good sign, so I sacrificed my love for Xander. All to give him a chance to find true love. Xander deserved that chance.I was okay to stay in that friend zone only for Xander to become a better person and let him explore his feelings.I suppressed my feeli

~Xander~I opened the door of her room and quietly waited for her to come home. 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 felt horrible when I saw her crying, but she was behaving as if nothing had happened. Does that mean whatever happened yesterday was nothing to her? My love was nothing for her. The most painful moment I remember that pulled at my heart when I saw her hiding behind Matt. When the hell did Matt come in between us? Why are there so many misunderstandings, Aoife?I waited for her to come to her room, because I wanted us to be alone.I could hear her approach with careful steps.“Hello?” She turned on the light and entered the room. “Xander, what are you doing here?” I came to get my answers, Aoife.“So, how was your dinner with Taylor?”I thought to keep

~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

~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.
