All Chapters of Clash of Hearts: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Hugo’s POV Today feels lighter, compared to all the other days that I have had in the human world. I feel better, at peace, and surprisingly… happier. I feel happier. Maybe because Eliana have been warming up to me like the old times. We have been out and about frequently. She now hesitates less in coming to me for help, because I made sure to make her feel that she does not need to hesitate at all. Whenever she calls, wherever the place may be, whatever the situation is, I assure her that I will be there. And this is how things are going exactly as I have planned. But this does not seem important to me now as it did back then. Am I slacking off? This cannot be. I could not lose my momentum. And the worst part is that I do not feel the pressure that usually pushes me to do better, to do literally anything that would help me get back on track. Maybe I really am slacking off. My thoughts were ruined when I realized that my feet ar

Eliana’s POV “I do not like how you are getting too close with that guy, to be completely honest with you,” Lucas said. We are now in his room, with me sitting on his bed while he sat on the floor, his back leaned against the foot of his bed. After our last class, we mutually decided that we needed to talk, and that we should just talk here because it is private. I have just asked him what the matter is when he gave me that response. “Hugo have been with us for a while now. You still calling him ‘that guy’ is just rude, Lucas. Like, what really is your problem? I got it the first time, you were skeptical of his existence because he was new. But now that he have been around long enough already, you are still acting like that. I do not get it, Lucas. He is even nice to you even when all you ever do is breathe down his neck whenever he is in your presence. I am not asking you to be friend

Lucas’ POV An hour. It had been exactly an hour since Eliana and Hugo departed. Kat went straight home, claiming that she still have something important to do. As for me, I went directly to Eli’s place. We had decided that I would just wait for her here, although I insisted that I should come with her. For safety purposes, obviously. But she reasoned out that Hugo and her are both vampires and if I would go with her, I am going to be the one who would need protection. She called me last night, saying that she wanted to confront Hugo as soon as possible. She decided that she would just do it casually, reasoning that there would be no use holding back. She knows the truth now and wants to know everything behind the truth as well. I, too, Eliana, want to know everything. I smiled bitterly. Love really has its way of clouding up your rationality, yeah? In all the years of my life, I had never once thought that I

Eliana’s POV It had been two months, going three, since the talk happened. The talk being the one where I confessed to Kat what I truly am, like my real identity, me being a vampire and not a human like them. The talk obviously did not go well. Kat was mad, really mad, to the point that I did not even get the chance to elaborate myself and my situation. That day with Kat walking out of my dorm room, Lucas following him because I told him to, and me being left all alone there. Alone to cry and crumble, feeling like the whole world is against me, suffering the consequences because of my own doing. What was worse was that Kat started ignoring me after that, too. She would avoid me in every way possible. The routes to school, to the places where I eat, and she even stopped sitting with me in the classrooms. Lucas would always invite us two at his place, or anywhere, just to get us all together. But Katelyn would always, always reject. She

Eliana’s POV   Remembering the events from last night had me smiling like an idiot. For months, I had missed the feeling of being this contented, at peace, and just happy. So many things had happened in the past few months of my life. Thinking about it now, I do not know how I even survived it and stay well until now. It felt I was sleepwalking. Yeah, that is the right way to describe it. It felt like I was fully not in control of everything that have been happening to me. It was very awful, all of it, and I do not ever want to go back there ever again. It is all in the past now. I had learned from it, but I would not keep on living in it.   That is why when Hugo and I got to talk yesterday, I listened. It was his chance to explain his side to me, and I let him have that. When he elaborated all of his reasons behind his actions, I really listened. That was what I failed to do in the course of three months that I avoided him and stopped talki
