You Lied.

Chapter 20

Shanly Celestia Carter’s POV

“I don’t love you anymore.”

“I’m ending this fcking worthless relationship with you, Shanly.”

After all I said, those words were what I got from Keith.

His voice didn’t held any emotion as well as his beautiful big doe

Eyes that we used to be so expressive are now void with anything.

My tears slowly fell down from my eyes as my heart filled with so

Much pain. Pain that literally make you feel that your heart is being

Ripped into pieces.

I couldn’t utter any word, I could just feel the scorching pain inside.

Keith kept on looking his empty gaze on me for about a minute,

Before he turn his back on me like he didn’t see the hurt and pain

In me.

He used to hate seeing me hurting and he used to never leave

Whenever I’m in pain.

But what now?

Keith than started to walk away from me and I suddenly felt that he’s

Not just walking away from me now but from my whole life as well.

He’s leaving me. Keith is leaving me for good.

And that thought bought a great pang on my chest that made my

Tears fall more like a waterfall and my sobs louder.

I then felt a hand on my shoulder and when I look up, I saw Tristan

And Elyza on his side.

“What happened to you, Shan? Why are you crying?” Tristan abruptly asked

Me with worry visible in his eyes as he gets to see my state.

“K-keith…” I utter as my tears continued to fall nonstop.

“Did you have a fight with Keith?” Elyza then asked worriedly as

She tries to look for her cousin.

“H-he,” I tried to speak straighly but my sobs are preventing me to

Do so.

“He what?” Tristan carefully ask me again, his eyes were full of

Confusion now as well as Elyza’s.

“H-he broke up with me.” I finally said and that’s when I lose my

Control and began to cry my heart out.

Tristan abruptly envelopes me into a tight hug. My sobs

Echoed through the whole garden as my body loses its strength.

I never expected that it would be this painful because never in my life did

Keith let me have the thoughts of him breaking up with me. He

Always made me feel so love and secured, that he never let me

Overthink of what will happen in the future. He’s always there to

Make me feel that this thing we have is for a lifetime and ending is

Not in our vocabulary but what is happening now is the exact

Opposite.

After quite some time of crying, Tristan and Elyza help me to sit

On a bench here in the school garden while my sniffles can still be

Heard from me.

“Hey, it’s okay, Shan. i’m pretty sure that Keith didn’t meant what he

Said.” Ely softly said as she stroked my arm in a comforting manner.

“Right. I mean, Keith loves you so much and he could never do such

A thing.” Tristan seconded with a nod.

I thought so too, Tris.

I could feel that my tears will fall down again as I lightly shook my

Head remembering that blankness of Keith’s face while saying those

Words to me with his voice that’s void of anything.

“Or maybe you’ve done something that made him do it?” Ely

Careful asked, her eyes were filled with hesitation.

And that’s when it hit me.

Did he know already?

Does he already know about me and Kenji?

Is that the reason why he broke up with me?

But he said he doesn’t love me instead of confronting me of my

Little secret.

He should’ve lashed out at me the moment he knew, right?

Is he having an affair behind my back too?

Or he just simply got tired of me and fell out of love with me?

My mind was so full of speculation right now and I don’t know

Which should I believe?

I have so many things in my mind that I didn’t realized that Elyza

And tristan was calling me for a quiet time until one of them shook

Me that made me kicked out of my reverie.

“I-i’m sorry. You were saying?” I quickly asked them.

Tristan shook his head.

“No, it’s okay. I think you are too shocked by what happened.

Ely and I are driving you home.” he said and stood up and help

I do the same.

Yeha. I think I needed to go home and rest so that I could think of that

Things happening around me and came up with a great solution to

All of this.

The duo help me as we walk towards the parking lot through the

Other side of the hall was away from other people’s view.

But upon arriving the parking space, we are greeted by a pair of

Familiar human beings who seemed to be enjoying their making-out.

I heard Elyza gasp and Tristan still beside me when they

Landed their eyes at the girl Named ella, who splashed her

Champagne on my bag awhile ago and Keith trapping on the side

Of his matte-black car who happened to be just parked beside mine

With their mouths clasped together, eating each other’s faces.

I could feel the literal scorching pain creeped into my heart as it burn

And sunk into the depths of the unknown.

My years once again cascade down through my eyes down to the

Ground.

“Keith!!” All of us in the parking lot got startled by Tristan exclaimed the

Brown-haired guy’s name.

The girl and Keith stopped what they were doing as the latter lazily

Drag his gaze towards us, still with his blank dull eyes and slightly

Tilted his head.

“What?” He flatly asked.

But we are all fell into shock when Tristan abruptly went towards Keith

And punched him straight in his face that caused him to fell into the

Ground.

Tristan is known for his long patience and chill attitude but when he

Get mad, he doesn’t care who you are anymore.

“First, you broke up with Shanly and left her crying on the garden

And now you’re here in the parking lot kissing someone else?! The

Fck?! I thought you already stopped being a jerk and got all your

Shit together, Huh? But now what?!” Tristan exclaimed as Elyza

Rushed out to stop him from hurting Keith more.

Keith just eyed the older one for some seconds before he stood up

And wipe out the blood from his lips with the back of his hand.

“What do you care about?” He then asked in a monotone which only

Made Tristan angrier.

“Why do I care?! For Fck’s sake, Shanly is my friend too, you moron!”

The older said while struggling to get out from Elyza’s tight

Hold that was now crying too.

“And? I’m your friend too, tris. Our friendship is longer than you had

With her actually. So what are you angry about? Besides, you already

Know that I’m not a one girl man. And if I’ll be honest here,

Shanly’s got boring, I need a little spice in my life and she’s not

Give me that anymore. So why keep her, right?” Keith said

Nonchalantly that I swear it feels like someone poured an Ice-cold

Water in me

“Fck you, Cohen!” Tristan said in gritted teeth while shooting

Daggers with his eyes.

Keith just shrugged like nothing happened and started to walk

Towards his car and open the door of the passenger seat and let the

Girl named Ella in before he turn to the other side and slid himself

On the driver’s seat.

But before he could fully enter, his gaze met mine who is now filled

With tears. Something crosses his eyes but before I could catch up of

What it was, it quickly vanished as it turned back into nothingness.

I watched how Keith’s car drove away until cannot see any signs of it

But I continued to look at the emptiness and with my heart breaking

Into tiniest pieces, I realized one important thing.

I can’t bear to lose you, Keith. And I will definitely do anything just

To get you again.

Anything.
