way out of your league

Twisted story

Andre's POV

After everything that happened with Nora's parents I drove to the apartment sad and crushed.walking to my room I kept staring at the wall wondering how everything went wrong.Nathan came in asking what happened and I explained, he told me it was bad cause he doesn't get along with his parents and Nora last relationship led to a public scandal but he decided to go home anyway.I kept hoping that Nora believed me,cause I would never do anything to hurt her.

As the days passed by I kept talking to Nora telling her I would never do that to her but soon she stopped picking my calls.After four day of calling she finally picked,to tell me she was coming over. Some hours later she came into our apartment with Sandra.Even though I was wondering what Sandra was doing here,I was happy to see Nora so I ignored her pulling Nora into my arms hugging and kissing her."We need to talk" Nora said and I nodded but before she said anything I said "just know I love you too much Nora to do that to you,I would never use you like that" I said and I noticed tears in Nora's eyes "so why are there photos of you meeting several reports" she asked and I was shocked "Andre I would understand if you just tell me the truth,I know you were tired of keeping our relationship private so I would understand if you did it,just tell me the truth" Nora said sobbing "baby please don't cry,I never did that Nora please believe me,I can't do that to you" I replied "Did you meet those reporters Andre" she asked "yes I did but that was before the app launch" I said "So you did meet them to plan this,and here I thought maybe those reporters deceived you" Sandra said scoffing "shut up and stay out of this" I said "why won't you just admit this and let's move on" Nora said "cause I didn't do it,yes I met those reporters but it was on behalf of Judah, Hansel and Nathan to raise awareness for their upcoming app launch cause they were busy and needed my help with that" I said hoping she believes me "Why do you keep doing this,we don't have to go to this length, just admit it let's move on cause I have other proof" Nora said "please just admit it and move on I know she loves you alot" Sandra said while I ignored her.Nora started playing a recording where I told a reporter there would be headlines at the app launch and they won't regret covering it cause there would also be shocking revelations "is that the so called proof" I said "did you say that" Nora asked "yes I did but that was about the app launch,I said that to stimulate their interest in covering the app launch not about anything else" I said trying to convince Nora.

"While i'm being painted as a slut by the media,i'm busy trying to save my relationship but you just can't seem to tell me the truth" Nora said "if I planned this why isn't there an audio of me telling him that or making plans with him on how to do just that and why did I even bother staying away from you that night if I had that agenda" I said furious "cause you told him to stop recording before making that plan as he said,and you didn't want to behave suspicious that night, now I think about that night and the next morning you kept talking about making our relationship public"she said "wow! I explained my reason why,didn't I" I said "so how come the reporter knew he had to stalk Nora and captured you picking her up from her apartment and driving to yours,it all over the internet, how she met and f****d a guy in one night" Sandra said.

"I didn't do this Nora,please believe me" I said "I need space Andre" she said breaking my heart "how much space and how long" I asked "I need to clear my head,so till after i'm done" she said "ok Nora,i'll wait.Anything for you" I said and she nodded before walking away with Sandra.I hope this really wasn't a break up.I also thanked Nathan for speaking to Nora on my behalf,that was why she came today but Nathan said I should be ready for anything.

Its now a month and Nora still doesn't pick my call nor does she answer my text.I kept hoping,while I noticed Nathan and Natalie were unusually close until I actually saw them kissing each other in the apartment,I was shocked. Two months later Nora made headline again, this time because she was releasing her group of deodorant and perfume and because she was back with her ex who she was vacationing with.I asked Nathan to help me confirm if what I was seeing online was true, after calling his brother,he told me it was true and how sorry he was.

When I heard Nora was back I snuck into her apartment one evening waiting for her,I had to wait for a long time but when she came in close to midnight.She was shocked to see me inside her apartment "what are you doing here, how did you even get in" she said "I have a key remember, i'll hand them over to you when i'm leaving,I just needed closure" I said quietly "Are you back together with your ex" I asked while she remained quiet, after a while she said "Yes" and I nodded with my heart twisting,I was hurting badly "So you cared so little about me that you couldn't inform me" I asked. "Does that matter, did you love me enough to not to destroy my reputation or even apologize after you did,stay away from me Andre"she said "whether you choose to believe me or not I would say this one last time,I never did that to you but I guess it doesn't matter now right, Goodbye nora" I replied, dropping her key card and walking away "Andre,I did love you a lot"she said and I stopped without turning,I couldn't face her so I just continued walking and soon I was back to my apartment.

I tried moving on with my life,it was hard but I kept taking it a day at a time.I was busy with academic load and managing Hans construct which was growing quickly. We were going to expand soon.Nathan and Natalie were no longer hiding their affair and I noticed she was really happy. That was until close to the end of the year when I heard Nora's boyfriend was having an affair with someone else who already had a baby for him while he kept it a secret and they were breaking up.I kept seeing the cameras following her while she looked stressed and sad.I felt pity for her but I'm not going through those memories again, they cause too much pain plus I had Stacy who was always down for fun with no strings attached.

Everything was going smoothly now even after our final exams and celebration until Nora crashed into my life once again turning it upside down.
