Twenty Eight

(Make me your girlfriend💋💃💏)

WYATT'S POV🥺

"I'm sorry Wyatt, I don't love you and I don't think I will. "she replied me with all sincerity and my heart tore apart, it began to bleed.

She stood up to leave after she said that but I stood up after her grabbing her by her arm.

"I know you don't love me, I know you love Nicc... "I stopped to take a deep breath while she stared on at me.

"I know that you don't love me, but allow me to do the loving huh, afterall, two couples date even though they don't love each other, either one is loving and the other is either playing or just being a couple."I paused again to make her get my point.

"Bella, I really love you and I promise that I won't hurt you, make you cry or even play you... "

"I don't love you! "She cut in sharply trying to get her hand out of my firm grip on it.

I didn't want her to leave, I drew her into myself and hugged her against her will.

"Feel my heart beat... Stop struggling and feel my heartbeat! "I yelled and she stopped struggling to free herself , she was calm for a while.

I stopped hugging her, I held her chin up to my face so she could look at my eyes.

"Look at how mad I'm getting Bella! You heard my heart! It beats for you! So much that it hurts me."I sobered as tears gathered around my eyes.

She shouldn't refuse me, I don't think I will live with it, if am gonna be seeing her everyday.

"Its not it Wyatt, I don't love you. I don't care if you're a player or not but... I just can't... I can't love you."

"Look, who said you should love me? Huh! Just be by my side and forget about loving me! I will do all the loving and all the caring huh!! "I pleaded

"Wyatt, you don't get it. I'm still recovering from a painful love life of mine. I'm still trying to process everything. I'm not ready to love anyone yet. Not you Wyatt. I'm sorry."

"Please, tell me to wait for you until you're ready for me and I will gladly do that."I tried holding her but she pulled away.

"Don't wait for me. You don't have to."

"Please Bella. I really love you. I really do and I'm gonna make you love me no matter what."

"I will talk to you later."she said and ran away from me.

I bit hard at my lower lips, watching her hair dangle behind her as she ran....

School dismissed for the day and I went home alone by foot, I didn't want to take the bus so I would have enough time to think and meditate on my broken heart.

For the first time I felt the pain of loving someone who won't love you, I felt the pain all my girlfriends felt when I broke up with them.

I felt the pain of being rejected just like the way I rejected all those girls who had a crush on me.

I'd smack them, hit them and even make jest of them for having a crush on me.

So this is how rejection feels like? It's fucking terrible and choking! She won't love me but I'm not complaining?!! Did I?

I will do all the loving myself! I don't care if the love is one sided as long as she's my girlfriend.

So this is how it was for Lucia when she had a crush on me pleading with me to be her boyfriend :

*I will do all the loving, I will be good to you and I will stay by your side. Cheat on me, love other girls but just stay with me, I won't get angry*she had pleaded with me but what did I do? I scoffed pushing her down and blowing the smoke which was in my mouth to her face!

And now? Is this a payback? Maybe it is a payback for me for all the broken heart I caused other girls.

Isn't it too much for me? It hurts like hell! I held my chest at the spot where my heart is located and squeezed really hard. It hurts!!!

🎶Don't have to leave this town to see the world.🎶Cuz its something that I gotta do. 🎶I don't wanna look back in thirty years and wonder whom you're married to. 🎶wanna say it now, wanna make it clear. 🎶for only you gotta hear, when you love someone they say you set him free. 🎶But that its gonna work for me.🎶I don't wanna leave without you.🎶I don't wanna leave you please. 🎶I don't wanna dream about you, wanna wake up with you next to me!_

Next day,

BELLA'S POV😊

"Hey! Bella! "Mom tapped me.

"I don't want to go school today mom."I grumbled still lying on the bed

I don't want to see Wyatt in school and tell him to his face again that I can't be his girlfriend and I don't want to see Nicc pester me about too.

"Why? Get up now!! "She barked at me and I sprang up from the bed.

"Mom, get me a transfer please, I don't like that school anymore."I grumbled. I thought I had finally get away from troubles but I think I just signed for more than one.

Nicc is deceiving me while Wyatt is confessing his feelings for me. Who am I gonna accept? I'm just so confused right now.

She scoffed at me."Why? Huh! How many transfers in one year? "She nagged at me."Nicc is... "She was saying while I interrupted by just the mention of his name.

"Did what? Is he here? No! Tell him to go! I don't want to see him... "I rattled on and on without realizing that my mom was there.

She gave me a keen look "What's wrong? You're so bothered this days... What's really wrong? "She asked me and I was tempted to talk.

For more than twenty minutes, I explained to my mom what have been happening to me and she didn't help but feel pity for me.

I finished narrating to her and she sighed. "That's bad... "She muttered and I nodded.

"But... Whom do you think you wanna date? Nicc who slapped your love to your face or Wyatt who is nice? "

"Wyatt is a player! "I snapped almost immediately.

"Are you worried about him being a player or that you don't love him? "She asked.

"Both of them."

"Or because you love Nicc. I know you do. You can't keep that from me."

"Mom I love Nicc and I won't deny it. I love him so much that it hurts me.

"

"You're getting it wrong Annabelle. Most relationships shouldn't be based on love, to Wyatt you're princess but to Nicc you're a best friend and a nerd! "

She gripped my shoulders. "Look Bella, Love is luck likewise relationships, you can't tell who is playing you or who is not, but do you know who will speak for you? "She asked.

"No."

"Your heart tells it all, love isn't what you think it is, always give it a chance no matter how hurting it can be."

"I don't love Wyatt. I know he's nice to me but I can't bring myself to loving him."

She smiled or rather smirked."You will love him. "

"How?? "

"Nicc should stay away from you. He have hurt you enough."

"He won't, he claims to love me now! "I was getting frustrated.

There was a moment of silence between us.

"Well, "she shrugged. "From what you told me, I think Nicc is trying to get into a fight with his step-brother cuz of you. That doesn't mean he really cares about you so deeply apart from friendship else, he won't have treated you so cheaply."

"I've seen Wyatt drop you home twice."

"Mom! And you never said anything about it."

"I'm your mother and I know everything. I know you've been hurting for a while now and when I saw you with him, you were smiling cheerfully, something you haven't done for the past weeks. " she held my arms. "You can't always be with someone you love. All you need is to be with someone who loves and cares about you. Someone who is gonna treat you like you want to be treated. Someone who won't see you like a last option."

I recalled how Wyatt had piggy-backed me twice, how he had ran out in the rain to get me something I wanted the most when I needed it the most.

How he had been of comfort to me without complaining. I felt guilty for rejecting him outrightly without giving him a chance to love me.

I might not love him but he does. I could see it in his eyes, even when I listened to his heartbeat.

"How do you feel now? "Mom asked me after reading my expression.

"Guilty."I replied. " I was too rigid on him. But I'm still scared to be with him."

She nodded. "That's it, there is a huge difference between a childhood love and a second love. "

I looked up to her eyes, why haven't I confided in her all these while even when I think I wanted it?

"What's the difference? "I asked.

"A childhood love remains childish while a second love, you might say, molds your heart and makes you a real girl or woman."

"What about his lifestyle? What about his girlfriends?? "

"That shouldn't bother you. All you need to care about is that he loves you. "

I nodded my head before hugging her passionately. She's really my mom!

"But... Be careful."she cautioned before smacking me to go wash up and dress for school.

WYATT'S POV🤗

I sluggishly came to school,my eyes first set on Bella as she was coming towards me making me panic terribly.

I didn't smile, I shouldn't cuz she might not be coming for me but for someone behind me which is Nicc.

I struggled so hard to keep up with my firm face till she stood infront of me.

"Wyatt."she called my name which made me want to smile at her.

"I don't care about your lifestyle since you love me... I know I don't love you but since you will do all the loving... I will date you."

My mind stopped working when I heard her say so.She came closer to me till she was almost a step away from me.

"Teach me how to love you Wyatt and I swear I will never love someone else again."she continued which made my heart flutter the more.

"Let me be your girlfriend, I... "She stopped talking, staring at my face.

"Bella... "I mumbled her name really surprised.

What got into her? Yesterday, she vehemently refused me and today she's different! Am I dreaming?

She frowned."What? You don't love me anymore? "She asked and I shook my head.

"I do love you so much Bella."

"Then make me your girlfriend. " She snapped at me.

I was speechless. The only thing I could do was just palm her head and then kiss her forehead cuz I couldn't really believe she is the same Bella of yesterday.

Maybe am daydreaming, I thought this is not real until she stood on her toes, gripping my shoulders and fixing her lips into mine. My eyes nearly popped out...
