Barely In Love - (gxg)

Riley's POV

"Not you again."

"Wait Megan just give me a second please." I said as she went out of her house.

I don't know how many times I've said that by now or came here. I know it's kind of stalkerish but trying one last time won't hurt.

I spoke again before she could tell me to leave. "Please just five minutes and I will never bother you again."

"You have two minutes," she said with annoyance.

"I'm sorry for trying to kiss you and acting like a piece of shit." I need to get it all out of my chest since this might be the last time I get to talk to her so I continued. "I'm sorry that I made it hard for you, some sick part of me wanted you to hurt for what you said at the laboratory that day and it was wrong, it was so wrong and uncalled for, you didn't deserve that. I'm sorry for standing you up that day and I'm sorry for choosing Paris over you."

Megan didn't say anything at first, she just nodded and then looked at the floor.

"I appreciate the apology and I forgive you. It's all in the past, I've moved on I think you should too," she responded.

"I know and I will... I know it's a lot to ask from me after everything but, do you think we could try and be friends?"

"No. I don't think we can ever be friends again Riley. I don't want us to be friends. Sorry." The coldness in her tone felt like a sharp knife just went through my heart.

I could feel a single tear roll down my cheek but I didn't let anymore come after. I just nodded, "I understand."

And I did, I've been awful to her I'm still impressed by the fact that she forgave me but, I knew she would say no but it was worth a try anyway. I can't blame her for not wanting me in her life, I was a terrible friend for years I deserve it.

"I know Summer is your friend and I respect that. However that's the only reason why I'm not telling not to come over anymore."

"Don't worry I won't bother you again." I manage to let out without my voice wavering.

Her face remained emotionless as she nodded, "I need to go now."

"Sure," I stepped out of her way. "Goodbye Megan."

"Bye Riley," she said sparing me one last glance before going.

After a few minutes of regaining myself with a heavy heart I finally left the building. One thought just going through my mind I did all of this to myself.

I got into my car thinking about what to do the next, should a go to a bar to help my pains or go home. I liked the former better but I think I should go home, things between Paris and I have not been the best so I should probably fix that before is too late.

I pulled the car out and started driving home, I now have to think about a excuse to tell Paris about my current bad humor.

When did my life became this.

Unfortunately it doesn't takes me long before I arrive to the apartment. I think I needed some more alone time but whatever I'm already here.

I don't see Paris when I enter so I call out her name. "Paris where are you?" She must be here since her keys are on the table. I got no response so I searched in the kitchen and the terrace first but I didn't find her there so I went to the most obvious place; our room.

"Paris?" I said before entering and when I did there she was... with a suitcase open and full of clothes on the bed. "What are you doing?"

"I'm leaving."

"You need to travel for work again?" I asked confused, she didn't mention anything about that.

"No Riley. I'm leaving."

"I don't understand..." I said still confused.

Paris sighed and stopped taking her clothes out the closet. "I'm leaving you Riley."

"What?" I felt my heart crumbled by her words.

This can't be happening.

"This is just not working anymore."

How can she say that, yes lately we've been going through a rough patch but that's nothing we haven't overcome in the past. How can she be so nonchalant about it, doesn't she realize what she's saying? That she's fucking ripping my heart out of my chest.

"What are you talking about Paris? Don't be dramatic we are just going through a rough time but we can work it out."

"A rough time? Is cheating a rough time to you?"

I froze at her words. What is she talking about? No... it couldn't possibly be that, how would she know.

"Excuse me?" I mustered to say.

"Don't play dumb I know all about you and Megan."

Fuck.

Did Harper do as she said and told on me to Paris? If she did I swear I will find her and beat the hell out her.

"Stop trying to figure out how I found out I'll tell you. You left your phone unlocked on the bed last night."

"You went through my phone?!" I got pissed off at that she have no right.

"You left it unlocked on your messages, your messages with Megan to be exact. I was about to lock it when I read your thousands of apologies about trying to kiss her." When Paris said the last thing I could finally see emotion on her face and all I could see was heartbreak and betrayal.

"I didn't kiss her you read it yourself." I tried to excuse myself.

Paris shook her head, "But you still tried to, you still went to see her everyday even when she told you to stop." Tears started to roll down her cheeks. "I guess this is life's way of getting back at me for what I did to Jackson back in high school," she said and let out a humorless chuckle.

I felt like I couldn't talk but had to I needed to say something, anything. Finally I found my voice, "Please Paris don't do this."

"I'm not doing anything, you did this to yourself, to our relationship. I trusted you." You could hear the pain and bitterness in her last words.

She went back to her bags, closed them with what she had in them, grabbed them and then started to leave before I stopped her. 

"Please Paris I love you." I begged pathetically.

"I loved you too."

My head fell down in shame when she said that and took my hand off of her.

"We are over Riley."

Those were the last words she said to me before leaving the room and soon I heard her leave the apartment.

This is all my fault.

I lost my girlfriend. I lost a friend. Summer and Tyler don't talk to me like they used to. How did my life turn into this.
