Break My Heart

Chapter 12

By the end of the day, I came to a realization.

It's official.

I was falling for Heath.

Hard.

"Fuck," I mumbled to myself that night when I couldn't sleep.

——————————————————————————

For the next few days, I totally avoided Heath. I know, I was being a coward but I couldn't help but overthink.

At first, Heath was confused.

But then he understood that I was avoiding him and stalked me everywhere until I didn't tell him the reason.

So to take my mind off from him, I decided to attend one of my classmates party. I was never really a fan of these parties but I went with Victoria to some of them to keep her company.

Speaking of Victoria, she was still avoiding me and honestly, I didn't care anymore.

I had made terms with one more realization: Victoria was in fact controlling me. I was just too oblivious to realize it until then.

But tonight was just about me.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror in my room and gave a once look over my outfit.

I was wearing a rose gold dress which reached above me knees and had very thin straps. My red hair were in loose waves and my face had minimal makeup.

I did a little twirl and posed in front of the mirror then went in my closet in search of my stilettoes.

——————————————————————————

The party was in full swing when I arrived.

People were grinding against each other on the dance floor, some making out in the corners while others were in the backyard.

I went towards the kitchen and poured myself soda in a plastic cup since I didn't drink. Plus, no one was with me to make sure I would remain alive or not.

I stood at a corner, having little sips from my cup and let my gaze wander around the room.

Despite me dolling up and deciding to have this night for myself, I couldn't help but let the feeling of loneliness creep me. I truly had no real friend.

I was lost in my trail of thought when somebody reached me from behind and covered my mouth.

My eyes widened and my first instinct was to bite the hand cupping my mouth and the person behind me hissed.

Without wasting a second, I stomped my heel on the person's feet and then whirled around, kicking them in the groin.

I was about to headbutt the guy when he said, "Holly, stop!"

Wait a damn minute. I knew that voice.

"What the hell Heath?!"

Heath stood before me, holding his crotch and let out a hiss.

My eyes widened for the second time in a spam of sixty seconds and then I exclaimed, "Oh my Gods, I'm so sorry."

——————————————————————————

After the incident, we went towards a balcony in the house.

The wind blew my hair in all directions and the faint sound of music could be heard from downstairs.

"You really need to teach me how you did that, Princess."

I chuckled at that and Heath surprised me by tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"You're looking beautiful." I became lost in his eyes when he said that and a blush rose on my cheeks.

"We need to talk."

And that was enough of a reason to bring me back to reality. The whole realization came to my mind and I staggered a few steps back, "I- uh I have to....."

Before I could make an excuse to leave, Heath got hold of my wrist and tugged me back towards him.

"Not this time. You have to tell me what I did, Holly. Why are you avoiding me?"

The desperation in his eyes and the fact he used my name this time made me pause.

I knew it was time.

And so I took my time, a few deep breaths and fidgeted my fingers.

I closed my eyes and then opened to see directly in Heath's eyes. He raised an eyebrow when I still said nothing and I clenched my jaw.

My stomach had an entire zoo of itself inside when I spoke.

"I am falling for you, Heath."

He froze. The crickets froze. Hell, even the wind stopped.

And then I started rambling.

"I was avoiding you because I was too much of a coward to say anything. Also, because I wanted to be sure that I was really falling for you. There was also the matter that even you feel anything like that or not. And that scared me. I became-"

I never got to finish my sentence because at the next moment, Heath pressed his lips on mine.
