Never Again

It's over

" So this means that you will leave Tyler ? " He held her face and looked in her eye .

Jessica pushed by his hands " I can't . . . . . . I can't leave him . " She sat on the couch . Matt grabbed her by her arm and pushed her against the wall " Why can't you leave him and if you can't leave him then leave me . Why do you keep showing up again and again . Why do you try to manipulate me with your sweet talks ? Tell me ! " He pressed her hands tightly and rested his forehead on hers .

" Matt what are you doing ? . . . . . . . . . Leave my hand you are hurting me . "

He punched on the wall close to her face with all his force " Am I ? . . . . Am I ? " He punched the wall again and again and again . His hand was bleeding .

" Matt what are you doing you are scaring me , Stop or you will hurt yourself . "

" This pain is nothing as compared to the pain that I am feeling in my heart because of you . Why are you playing with me ? "

She hugged him " Can't we just have this ? . . . . . . It feels so good " She kisses his cheeks and then his lips but he didn't kissed her back " Doesn't it ? . . . . . It feels so good and so nice and safe . Why can't we just have this ? Why do you want to give this a name . "

Tyler pushed her off him " So you are saying that you won't leave Tyler but you will still have a relationship with me ? "

" Yes . . . Yes . . . You know I want to be an actor . It is my biggest dream ! In fact it is not just my dream it is my life . Tyler's dad has direct contacts with the best directors and agencies he is a key to my dreams . " She tries to throw herself on him " But he is nothing as compared to you . I want you and I know that you want me too . So let's just have that . "

" I told you Jess before that I want you but when I am with you I want to know that you are just mine . I can't be with you on knowing that you are with me today but tomorrow you will be in his arms . It is not easy for me . You will have to choose Jess . . . . . . You will have to choose between money and love . I know he can give you a lot more money than I can , he can give you expensive presents , he can give you ride in luxury cars . I can't give you any of that right now but I want you to know Jessica that he can't love you . . . . . In fact no guy in the world can you as much as I do . . . . . . . So tell me what do you want ? If you choose him over me then it will be the last time we are together . So tell me now what do you want . "

He looked in her eyes hoping to hear an answer while she remained quiet . Matt was finding the silence very disturbing . He waited for a while but then he found his answer in her silence . He moved out of her house without even saying a word . He sat in his car and drove off . On his way back he realized that he was doing to Emily what Jessica did to him .

He was hurt on knowing that Jessica was using but wasn't he doing the same thing with Emily . When Emily clearly told him that she liked him . She told him that she had feelings for him . He was also playing with her emotions . If he wanted to be with her then he should accept her with his whole heart and if he didn't then was was no point of swinging her around . He realized his mistake and decided to set things right . Jessica was selfish . There was no point of crying over her so he decided that he will take things with Emily to a next level . Where he will also try to share the same feelings like she did .

Emily and Rachel went to her college to withdraw Matt's name from the competition . They both were standing in lines . Rachel was trying to make sure that Emily was fine . On being asked Emily said that she was fine when clearly she wasn't which is obvious because Matt was her first crush ever .

The line moved forward and they were next .

" Emily are you sure you want to do this ? "

" What do you mean ? "

" The competition is in less than a week where will you find another partner ? Maybe you should ask Matt . . . . . . "

" That is not even an option . I was wrong I shouldn't have given his name in the first place without asking . And more over I have decided to end our relationship or whatever we were in to . So there is no point . "

" Yes but what will you do now ? You will qualify the first round but in the next you will get disqualified without even participating . What about your mother's dream ? "

Emily sighs " I don't know ! I don't know what will happen next . And to be honest I have left everything in the hands of fate . I just hope that whatever will happen will be for the best . "

The coordinator called Emily " So Emily how may I help you ? "

" Mam gave Matt's name as my duet but I want to take it back . "

She takes out Emily's form " Boyfriend issues , huh ! "

" No , no , it is nothing like that . I just . . . . . ."
