Chapter Thirty-nine

His Pov

I stood still with over a hundred pair of eyes staring at me and I felt it all come back. The all so familiar feeling of deja Vu. That pain of being told to the face, "I don't love you" by the one you fucking love. So this is it? I'm the loser at the end of this all. I've lost the battle of love. Again! The one I had so much thought I'd win. Damn! This is so fucking fucked up. Was I stupid to fall for her? What was I thinking?

I feel so miserable at the moment. It's like my heart is being torn apart by two opposing forces, probably her hands on the opposite direction. I've never actually imagined that I'd have to be in these shoes again, begging a girl to stay in my life. I mean, it's always been the other way round. They always beg me to stay not me! I cant be doing this. I can't do this. God! Please!

" Isn't Karma such a bastard?" a voice I knew too well said behind me. I turned around to see Sam. Just what does she want?

" Aren't you satisfied, Sam? I'm broken okay? She's broken my heart, what more do you want?" I said angrily.

" Rio..."

" No, don't! I told you I was sorry, I thought we were cool. I fucking told you my reasons for everything I did. I came to you, Sam and I told you that I loved her. How could you guys still do this me? Fuckin tell me how?"

" Rio, I had no hand in this, I swear. I tried to talk them out of it but they didn't listen. Believe me, if I had a way to stop this, I would have. I have no grudge against you"

I listened to her silently as a tear fell off my cheek. Don't cry, man! Be strong! I told myself as I quickly wiped it off.

" This isn't just us. It's actually nature just doing it's work, what goes around comes around. The girl never loved you, you have seen that by now"

" You wanna gloat over this, go on"

" No... I'm just saying, take it easy on yourself Rio. It's not your fault that things ended up like this. Maybe she just wasn't your Miss Right"

She walked out on me after she said this. Lunch was over and there were only few people left in the hall. I'd better get out before a teacher comes in. I'm just gonna go home, I can't do this. If she isn't Miss Right then I don't have one. I know I messed up but this is too much for me to handle. Way too much! I fucking hate my life right now.

I sneaked out of school and went home. No one was home, luckily! I couldn't cry. It hurts but I couldn't cry. Her words keep piercing my heart like a dagger anytime I think about it. How could it even be possible that she never loved me? She made me feel so loved, oh! of course she's a pro in the game. How could I have forgotten that?

I picked up my phone and threw a call to her. It rang for a while and she didn't pick up. I remembered she was still in school and was about to hang up when I heard her voice. She wasn't in school after all.

" Hello"

" Anny"

She paused on hearing my voice. Didn't she check the caller before picking.

" What do you want Rio?"

" Did you just realize it was me?" I asked back.

" What do you want?"

" Anny, look I'm sorry. I know things got messed up and I didn't even know about it but I can fix things up. Give me a chance , don't end us like this"

" Don't you understand, Rio? There was never an "us " . If there was for you, there wasn't for me. All of it was a game and I'm fed up with playing it"

" So I was a game?"

" How could you not have realized it?" Hearing her say that broke my heart all over again.

" Look Rio, this is all part of life. Get back up and move on, I know it hurts but it probably doesn't hurt enough for the shits you did to all your hundred and one exes"

" And what about you? You did worse shits than me"

" Don't call me again Rio. Leave me alone, it's over between us"

And she hung up. Wow! This is actually it! I'm such a fucking idiot. Should have known this girl was my fucking end. Should have known when I looked into those eyes that I wouldn't be able to handle her. Should have fucking listened to Dick. Well you are Rio Richman, royal heartbreaker played by the most beautiful girl in the world. So what happens when the player gets played???
