When A Bully Falls In Love 61
~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~Heartbreak comes in waves. Slowly, it will pull you into the sea, and you will never know when the ground under your feet is swept away. They come at such random moments, replacing a feeling of normalcy with familiar tears. Yet, in time, those waves lessen and let the good memories flood back in.Sitting on the floor, I cried and smiled for the moments we spent together after Matt left this place.It was understood he would never see me again. How could I expect him to? He was hurt, and I was the reason. From the beginning of our relationship, he carried this burden in his heart. It was difficult for him to let Xander pursue his love for me. Today, when he poured out his heart, I crushed it into small pieces.At this moment, I wish death upon myself. I am not a good person, and I hurt people who loved me. I didn’t know when my sobbing turned into a slumber before a familiar voice woke me up.“Aoife, wake up, dear,” Aunt Agnes lightly shook me.Her husband brought water for me

~Aoife~I stood there, baffled, and confused. I fluttered my eyes a few times to clear my vision because I didn’t believe what I was seeing. Zareena and Xander were exchanging rings with each other.I came to my senses when people around me started clapping.“Congratulations!”“Yeah, Zarenna,” they cheered.People who started to gather around them pushed me aside. My body’s senses were dead. Everyone shouts, and the thunder of clapping suppressed my sobs. He lip-locked her in front of me and my heart dropped. I lost him. I lost my love. That was the only thing I felt at that moment.“Xander,” I whispered as I grabbed my chest.Suddenly Neeral ran up behind me and grabbed my numb body, and I lost my energy to stand appropriately.“Aoife... Oh my gosh,” she cried for me while looking at him.She wanted to go to talk to him, but I grabbed her hand.“No,” I whispered.“But Aoife—”“First, I lost my friend, and today… I lost my love.” Tears blurred my eyesight, straightening myself. “L

~Xander~As I settle into the taxi, gentle strains of a soothing melody brush against my ears, immediately capturing my attention. The music shifts me through memories of someone special, and with each note, my heart crumbles, painfully reminding me that I am not fortunate enough to celebrate this day of love.“Will you please lower the volume?” I exhale, hoping to dampen the waves of emotion that threaten to consume me.The taxi driver gazes at me through the rearview mirror, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. “Come on, man, it’s Valentine’s Day,” he muses as if encouraging me to embrace the atmosphere.I can no longer contain my frustration. “I don’t do Valentine’s,” I exclaim, my voice filled with a mixture of sadness and defiance. The taxi driver rolls his eyes, clearly unimpressed by my sentiment. “Then you better start.”It’s as if he’s challenging me to change my perspective.Today is Valentine’s Day, and as the taxi carries me towards my destination.

~Xander~After grabbing the white bouquet, I took a glance at my Rolex. I still had time to reach Arix Textiles. It was five minutes from my current location, so I decided to walk from the map directions in the blue line marked on my phone.The wind stroked my hair as it felt the aroma of San Francisco telling me something I wasn’t sure of yet. The warmth of this city has something special. I know it’s famous for its Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, the former Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, Fisherman’s Wharf, and its Chinatown district. But today, I feel something different inside. A stranger told me something I have wanted to hear for a long time. Then a small boy touched my heart in ways that had never happened before.Although I like to play with my nephew, this was something special. I don’t complain—not a single time—after I met him.I refreshed the G****e Maps page, and finally, I reached my destination.

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
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.“

“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.
