Unexpected

Chapter 33.

Emily' POV.

I can feel his frame walking inside of the room. My heart is hammering on my chest and I think I'm going to be sick.

Breathe, just breathe.

Albert doesn't sit next to me this time. He sits in the table next to the one he usually choses to be near me.

That hurts my chest more than I wish it would.

I fight to not look at him during the entire class. I fail miserably when he looks at the side and I can detail his beautiful curls and how the sunlight makes them look softer and curlier.

I just wish he could tell me why he's doing this. I thought he liked me.

I feel some heavy tears forming on my eyes and I fight to keep them.

He can't see me cry.

As I hear the sound of the hell I staff the books to my bag and tell Sophia that I need to go to the ladies room.

I pass next to a nonchalant Albert who's is slowly staffing his books into his bag. I run off the classroom and I can't help but feel anger boiling inside of me. I love him, why is he doing this with me? He didn't harm me when he inflicted that scratch on my arm but he's hurting me terribly now!

I make fists at my sides and turn around and find him walking at a measurable distance behind me.

"Who do you think you are?!" I raise my tone and shove at his chest.

He's looking at me with wide eyes and parted lips. The dark circles marking his skin shows me that he haven't been sleeping much.

"You don't have the right to do this with me! How could you act like that after everything you said to me?! Tell me what did I do! Tell me and I will disappear of your life for good! I just need an explanation!" My heart is about to explode on my chest and my legs are shaking so much that I'm afraid I will pass out at any second. I'm feeling so dizzy.

Albert looks at me with dark eyes and a serious expression until his eyebrows fall and he holds a smirk on his face. I hear him laughing like he's mocking what I just said. I let out a huge sight to relief my lungs and I shake my head with a disappointed smirk on my face. I know I'm crying when salty tears burn down my cheeks but I couldn't care less.

Albert's expression changes when he sees my tears and I just can't look at him right now. If I do I won't control the pain kept inside of me.

"I didn't- you didn't-" He's in lack of words as he gently reaches his hand to my cheek. I turn my face so he can't touch me and he holds a hurt expression when I finally look up at him.

"I just wish you could tell me. I've spent these last three days crying myself to sleep and feeling more pain that I thought it was possible for someone to feel. You broke my heart, Albert. You didn't harm me when you cut my arm while you were sleeping. You harmed me terribly when I was right here, asking for an explanation because I still love you more than I could ever love someone, especially myself, and you laughed right in my face." I can't help but to let out a small whimper as I look down to cover my burning cheeks.

When I don't hear nothing but silence from him, I nod to myself and turn around.

"Wait!" I hear him say but I choose to run away from him, go to the bathroom and wash my tears. I shouldn't have said to him that I loved him but at least I was being honest. I loved him, I still do and I don't think that will change sooner.
