Dating Prince Charming - Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Ian's pov

"What!" I screamed. I turned around and reached for the door handle. "Wait, Ian. Here me out. I am begging you." Jake begged. Literally.
"Jake," I said, fighting to keep calm. "You are the one who had wanted the breakup. Who do you think you are? 'Heavenly Four is going to be together again'?" I quoted. "No, Ian. Listened. Jake did wanted a break up that time. But, he only did it because his mother doesn't like you and wanted him to keep away from you. If not, she will expel you. You know she is capable of that." Josh said hurriedly. I was unable to speak. Jake did all the beating to keep me in school so that one day Heavenly Four can be together again. "Jake, no matter what, you shouldn't have beaten those people up. You could have just told me."
"But you would not have listened."

"So, you used something that I am so afraid of to drive me away. You knew Father was killed in a fight. And how Mother is still traumatized. And how much I hated violence. You still did this to me."
"I am so sorry, Ian. Forgive me, please."
"Let me think through." I turned and left.
I slumped against the wall, Jas would question me. What do I do? Tell her? No way. I can't trust her, I don't know why. The door of my dorm was unlocked. I got in and was surprised to see just Libby there. "Hey, I guessed you wanted to be alone, so I sent Jas away."
"Thanks."

"You looked so sad. Can I give you a comforting hug?" She still remembered how I hated people to touch me. So caring, so nice, so beautiful...
"Sure." I stretched out my arms.
She walked into my arms and squeezed me around the waist. My hands wrapped around her petite frame. It was the first time I hugged someone since daddy's death. It felt good. Really good, since its her. "Everything is going to be alright." She mumbled into my ear. I broke
down.

Libby's pov

Ian was crying so hard that he was practically jerking. I wondered what happened. "Sh... Sh... It's going to be alright..." I said again and again. Finally, he calmed down. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." His voice strangled. "Do you mind telling me what happened? You can trust me. I won't tell Jas." He laughed. He told me that Mr. Meanie wanted HF (my abbreviation for Heavenly Four) to be together again. He told me how his adopted father was at the wrong place, at the wrong time when a gang fight started. How difficult it was for him to see his adopted father dead. He did not tell me what happened to his real parents though, I guess it hurts too much. We spent hours talking with each other until phone rang.

"I. AM. HUNGRY!" Jas voice.
"Where do you want to eat?"
"MacDonald's!"
"Kay, meet you there in 15 minutes."
"Let's go." Ian said. I looked up to see that he had washed his face. Even though his eyes were a little puffy, he still looked cute. "You are freaking fast."
