Chapter 67: A Little glimpse of the past

Jack's P.O.V:

After my encounter with Sofia in the class, I was extremely angry. When she smirked she looked nothing like that innocent Sofia. I knew she wasn't innocent. She was pretending to be innocent, that's it.

I felt to slap that slut whom I just called my girlfriend to hurt Sofia when she dug her nail on her wrist.

Her beautiful wrist must be hurt. But I didn't listen to my heart. Whenever I listen to it, I end up hurting myself. But not this time. I will not be weak.

As soon I got out of the classroom I just pushed that slut away from me and went for a drive.

After driving for about an hour, I decided to go back to Sofia. I wanted to talk to Max . I know he's and Jennie are close friends and Jennie must know Sofia well.

I really want to know about her. It's getting impossible to remove her from my mind.

Her beautiful face is always in Infront of my eyes.

I really want to know if I'm really making a mistake by treating her like that.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated. I glanced at it and it was a message from an unknown number.

I opened the message and there was a video. I opened the video and saw something I've never expected.

Max and Jennie were kissing each other.

My eyes became wide with shock.

How can Max do that behind my back? He promised me 5years ago that we will never hide anything from each other. How can he do that?

So, this was the reason Max doesn't touch other girls.

I know he's a great guy, he'll take care of Jennie.

It's not hurting me that he's with my sister what's hurting me is that how can he break the promise.

I don't think I can ever trust anyone else. My own friend broke my trust.

All memories from my past started to come in front of my eyes.

"You're worthless Jack. You're worthless." Her voice kept banging in my head all of a sudden.

"How can someone ever love you?" Her evil laughs were everywhere in my cars.

"Stop" I shouted.

But it wasn't stopping.

The way she crushed the flowers I bought was flashing in front of my eyes.

"Stopppppppp" I said more loudly and it stopped.

I was panting remembering the horrible memory .

No, I can't fall weak. I'll be broken again if I do that.

When I went to the canteen I was so angry I didn't even remember what I said in anger.

I ended my friendship with Max. He and my grandma were the only ones in this whole world who knew what I've gone through .

Only they know what happened 3years ago.

But still, he decided to break my trust.

I don't think I can trust anyone. It was enough for me.

After so many years I thought that something good will happen if I really try to know Sofia better . But no, If Max could break my trust then Sofia definitely will.

I just know her for a few weeks and I've known Max from childhood. If Max can break my trust then Sofia is nothing.

She will definitely turn out to be a whore.

When I got out of the canteen I heard James calling me. But I just hopped into the car and drove away as fast as I could.

I know where should I go. So I headed to my destination.

After 15 min , I reached there.

Cold winds touched my skin. The sky was getting cloudy. Maybe it'll rain after a few minutes.

Without thinking anything , I started to walk to her.

When I reached there it was dusty and there were a few old leaves on her grave. I sat in front of her grave and removed the dust and dead leaves with my hand.

"Hey, my beautiful girlfriend. How are you ?" I asked.

"Yes yes,I know you're good with your husband. But how can you forget your boyfriend? I'm offended." I said Chuckling.

"You know Grandma , I miss you so much. Since you left there's nobody left who would understand me like you. I miss you so much, grandma. Please come back to me. I'm so lonely here." I sighed .

I was trying hard not to cry.

Suddenly a cold wind hit me.

The cries that I had held inside me for so many years wanted to get outside.

I was feeling like the winds are telling me to cry.

"Grandma, I'm very tired of this. I'm tired of pretending heartless, I'm tired of pretending to be strong, I'm tired of being deceived and I'm tired of everything grandma." Saying this I broke down crying.

"Mom, dad, Jennie nobody understands me. Jennie probably hates me. I became a heartless person grandma. What did I do wrong grandma? "

" Was loving someone unconditionally my fault? Or changing myself into the person that I'm now to avoid getting more hurt is my fault?" I cried.

"It's been 2 and a half years since you're gone and after you were gone I became more heartless and careless than you knew."

"Jennie doesn't talk to me. I am dad's headache. Mom cries because of me. I'm the reason for their sufferings."

"I hate myself, grandma. I hate myself for hurting everybody. But I'm afraid of being broken again, grandma . I'm afraid, if I let my walls down everybody will break me again. I'll be weak again."

"What should I do grandma? I don't have any idea. I end up hurting everybody I care for because of my fear of getting hurt again. How do I remove the fear grandma? I wanna feel again grandma , I wanna be happy. But I end up hurting everybody who gives me happiness. I think what she said was true , I'm actually worthless"

A sudden wind hit me as soon as I said I'm worthless.

Since my grandma died I visited her grave every single day. I even visited her grave many times in a day when I used to be sad. The winds of this place were kind of my friends.

When nobody was with me they used to be with me. Still, now they are with me.

I kept crying and talking to my grandma while caressing her grave.

I didn't remember when I fell asleep.

I opened my eyes and found myself in the same place. It was dark .

"I can't believe it, I slept for so long," I exclaimed. I looked at the watch it was 1.30 in the night. Shit!

I quickly went to my car and started driving to my home. I parked my car and started to walk toward the giant palace-looking place. Which is my home.

I don't like how my dad made this so big because there's no one here except four of us . It feels empty. When my grandma was alive, even though most of the rooms were empty the house still looked full of happiness. At least to me, it looked.

I always used to talk to her for hours. I miss her warmth. The way I used to sleep on her lap. How she used to tell me about her love story with my grandpa. She told me the same story a thousand times. Still, I never felt bore.

I miss her so fucking much.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw the hall full of people.

At first, my eyes fall on my dad, then my mom, then uncle tiger, then Jennie and at last Sofia.

Before I could say anything Jennie rushed to me and hugged me tightly.

I was taken aback. Is this a dream? My sister hugging me after 2years. What was happening?

"I'm sorry, Jack. I'm so sorry for not understanding you. I didn't know you have gone through this much pain. I didn't know it was her fault. I didn't know she is this bad. I didn't know she did all those things. I'm so sorry Jack. I love you my teddy bear. Please forgive me" she said so softly that no one else could hear it except for me.

I'm sure Max told her. That asshole broke another promise.

But I'm not angry. I got my sister back. I was happy about that.

"I love you too my munchkin. And I'm also sorry for treating you badly. Can you also forgive me ?" I kissed her forehead and asked her.

She nodded still burying her face in my chest.

"Did Max told anyone else except for you" I whispered

"No." She said and I relaxed.

Thank god. That brat didn't tell anyone else. Otherwise, I would've kicked him a thousand times on the ass.

"Where were you, Jack?" My dad asked. He was angry. Oh god , I'm so done.

My dad is not someone who becomes angry easily but when he becomes angry no one can stop him. And from the state of his voice, I can say that he's way too angry this time.

Maybe I should get ready to pack my bags.

" I was at Grandma's grave ." I said while Jennie was still holding me tightly. I'm sure she's afraid that me and dad we will have a heated conversation right now.

I was waiting for the snap. But nothing came.

I looked at my dad and saw his eyes were not as hard as it was.

"You should've informed us, Jack. We all were worried about you. When will you stop being this careless Jack? What just happened to you. I miss my old son , the old Jack. who was nothing like this? You were so responsible Jack. You were so Obedient and caring. What happened to you, Jack ?" My dad sighed. He was on the verge of crying.

"Dad...I-I" I tried to say something but couldn't find any words.

"Please give me my old son back Jack. I'm tired of being worried for you all the time, Getting calls from the teachers about your behaviors, seeing your mom crying, seeing you smoking, drinking, seeing you visiting those dirty clubs, sending my men to get you from those clubs when you would collapse. I'm tired of everything son." My dad looked at me and he was crying.

I cursed myself for hurting my family like this. I fucking hate myself.

I was so lost in making myself heartless and strong I end up hurting my family.

No, I won't hurt my family anymore. Maybe I'll not trust any girl but I won't hurt my family. They don't deserve this behavior they deserve so much better. They've done nothing to be treated like this. I will never hurt my family again. I'll show them how much I love them.

I can't let her win. She said I'll be all alone and now I won't let her words come true. I won't hurt my family more.

I hurriedly walk toward my dad and hugged him.

"I'm sorry dad , I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry for hurting you . I'm sorry for making all of your worries, I'm sorry for all those times I made all of you cry, I'm sorry for not being a good son , I'm sorry for everything dad. Please forgive me. I won't hurt all of you ever. I promise dad!" My dad hugged me tightly.

"Don't break your promise son. " Dad Said said while still hugging me and patting my back.

"I won't dad." I replied.

After a few minutes , my mom said in low voice. "Won't I get to hug my son?"

Her voice was low , I'm sure she must've been crying all the time.

She was sitting on the sofa.She motioned me to come to her with both her arms open.

I went to her and knelt. I hugged her and she hugged me back.

After a few minutes she broke the hug and held my face in her hand , she kissed my forehead ,cheeks, chin and my whole face.

I smiled. She does this the whole time from my childhood till now.

"I love you my little baby ." Mom said.

"I love you too , beautiful." I said and hugged her again.

Then I heard uncle tiger clearing his throat and saying

"I think we should leave now Robbie. It's already too late. " I looked at him his eyes were also glistening with tears. He must be emotional after seeing all this emotional scene.

"No tiger , you shouldn't. It's already late and there really can be a storm today. What if you both got stuck in the Strom. No, I can't risk anything. So you and Sofia ,both will stay the night here."

"B-but ..." Uncle tiger protested but dad cut him off.

"No buts tiger." He said.

"Okay ." He sighed in defeat.

"Jennie , give Sofia some clothes and.." before my dad could finish my mom started talking.

My gaze snapped to her.

" I'll show her rooms and I'll give Sofia the clothes." Without saying anything to me she stood up and I was shocked.

I heard Jennie laughing , she must be enjoying this scene. This is the first time mom has ever ignored me like this.

What's wrong with her. I was offended.

"Come on honey , let me show you your room and give you some clothes." She hugged Sofia and kissed her forehead.

I was jealous but then I saw Sofia smiling. My all jealousy was long gone in a second.

I don't even know how long I was staring at her until I heard my dad clearing his throat.

I looked at him and he smirked. Shit! He caught me starring at her.

I saw uncle tiger and dad were exchanging glances.

What the heck is in their minds.

I'm sure my dad is the reason behind this reaction of tiger uncle.

I stood up and told my mom and dad that I was going to my room. My mom didn't even reply. She was caressing Sofia's face and talking to her. I huffed and went to my room.

I took a long shower and got into my room.

I was drying my hair. And suddenly the door burst open.

"Jennie, do you have extra.." Sofia was fixing her black nightie and her eyes fall on me.

Her eyes traveled from my abs to my face. She gulped.

I was so fucking turned on that time.

She looked extremely hot in that nightie. My eyes Landed on her bo*bs. I knew what I wanted at that time.

"Sorry, I entered the wrong room ." She proceeds to left hurriedly.

But I was quick to press the button and the door was locked.

"So, now you'll get the punishment" I grinned.

I saw her flinch when I said that. This was going to be fun.
