Chapter 16 - 18. Real Revenge 2

Valerie came back late in the evening so we decided to talk with her. We didn't even know how to say it. "We wanna talk with you Valerie?" Bryant carped. She placed her phone down on the bed and gave us her attention. "I am ready to be talked with," she said and warned,"If it is all about my plans for Kevin Hartley, then I'm sorry to disappoint you, I am not interested." Bryant boiled in anger so he roared,"Do you think you're the you are the first person to get heartbreak? And do you even think that it's going to end with you? You're playing a very dangerous game which can put you back into trauma if you continue this Valerie. You might even fall in love with him truly and will find it difficult to achieve your goals Valerie." "No! You're wrong because the pain I'm going through will never make me love that boy," Valerie ranted. I was astonished with the way the two best friends were shouting on each other, I've never seen them arguing this much before. The noise was uplifting to the extent that I stood up and shouted,"What the hell is wrong with you guys? Are gonna turn this hotel into a battlefield or a war room? Argument will not solve anything, let's sit down, get our heads together and get to the bottom of this problem." "There is nothing to solve about this Cindy! What I intend to do is what I'll do, whether you like it or not! And let me sound this warning to you, I saw you guys in the cafeteria today, if you try anything funny, if you try to destroy my plans, I promise you that I'll never forgive you." Valerie ranted, went to her bed placed her earphones in her eyes and started pressing her phone. I guess she must have raised the volume of the song so that, she won't hear anything that we might say. Bryant was hurt with what happened, his best friend is judging his decisions concerning her. Bryant walked out of the room with anger, how could she do such thing to Bryant who has always been there for her? I followed him to see to it that, he won't hurt himself, as he was fond of hurting himself when he's hurt or disturbed.

Valerie's POV

I can't understand why Bryant and Cindy refuse to understand my point of view, Justin Hartley hurt me so to pay him back, using someone who he loves will be the best decision to be made. Anyway, I'm not gonna let anyone to convince me to stop whatever I am doing. Bryant and Cindy went out so with the earphones in my ear, I sent a message to Kevin.

I placed my head back onto the pillow and closed my eyes. Yes! I am a great drama queen, I just got Kevin here with my sweet talks. Who can do this kind of jobs more than myself. To make Kevin care more about me, I dressed up and tackled myself to pretend as if I was sick. Few minutes later, I heard a knock on the door, so I told the person to come in. Kevin walked in with all his hotness and handsomeness, I couldn't get my eyes off him. Bryant was right I can fall in love with him if I am not able to control myself, what if I couldn't control myself? What if the crush that I have on him has gradually changed into real love? No, no, no, I can't afford to betray myself, the only thing I am in Kevin's life is his worst secret enemy. When he saw me on the bed, he raced to me, tested the temperature of my body by placing the back of his hand on the forehead. "What is wrong with you Valerie?" he asked and I replied,"Nothing, dear, I am totally fine." Without being convinced, he protested,"Then why are you lying in bed so quietly?" "Just trying to figure out how much you care and love me. I wanted to see if my brother and sister were wrong or right about you, but I know very well that, you'll always be the one which will walk through sticks and stones just for me?(I giggled and continued) I knew that they were wrong Kevin, I know and believe that, you will always be my protected, my lover and everything. I love you Kev, I love you." I said emotionally so that he will love me more. I then hugged him as if he will disappear the next minute, I felt his heartbeat when my head lied effortlessly on his broad warm chest. 'This is it Valerie, you have finally drawn Kevin to yourself.' I thought to myself.

After the hug, he said,"I want to show you something Valerie, come with me. He dragged me outside, we went down the staircase and finally landed at the reception. "What are we doing here Kev?" I asked anxiously. He pointed out at a place and when I looked there, I saw a pianist. When I turned to find out why he showed me the pianist, he pulled out his hands and whispered,"Do you, Miss Valerie Kay, want to sing with me?" I jumped up and down and yelled,"Yes Kev, I really wanna sing, and that too, with you." Recently, I told Kevin that, I loved singing, which was also his favourite thing to do so me singing with him will not be anything difficult. The fact that there was a lot of people there made me shiver. "I am very nervous Kev, I can't do this. So many people are watching me, I can't." I retorted. I turned and was about to leave but Kevin held me back and protested,"You trust me Valerie, don't you? Come and let's sing."

The pianist started playing the piano and he sang,"There goes my heart beating cause you are the reason. I'm loosing my sleep, please come back now." I continued the song,"There goes my mind racing and you are the reason, that I'm still breathing I'm helpless now." We then sang the chorus as we danced,"I'd climb every mountain, swim every ocean, just to be with you and fix what I've broken. Oh cause I need you to see, that you are the reason." After the chorus Kevin continued with the song,"There goes my hands shaking, and you are the reason, my heart is bleeding, I need you now." "And if I could turn back the clock, I'd make sure the light defeated the darkness. I'd spend every hour of every day keeping you safe." I sang and we continued singing,"I'd climb every mountain, swim every ocean, just to be with you and fix what I've broken, cause I need you to see, that you are the reason. I don't wanna fight no more, I don't wanna hide no more, I don't wanna cry no more, come back I need you to hold me. (You are the reason) Be a little closer now, just a little closer now, come a little closer, I need you to hold me tonight. I'd climb every mountain, swim every ocean, just to be with you, and fix what I've broken. Oh cause I need you to see, that you… are… the… reason." We ended our dancing with looking into each other's eyes, but we were disturbed by the loud applause and noise of the people sitting at the reception. We bowed down as professional singers, and later went back to my room together with Kevin. I was so happy with what happened, now most people will know me as the girl with the sweet voice and also, my boyfriend is the hottest guy. Kevin and I sat down on my bed, and I placed my head on his chest while we were chatting. "Wow Kev, so many people will know me as the girl with a sweet sensational voice which could woo everyone, I am so happy Kev, all thanks to you for encouraging me to go for it." I said happily.

Now I've given Kevin the best of memories, now he'll get really hurt when I break up with him now. I called him and asked him to meet me at the beach, where he proposed to me. Few minutes after, he came in. I was sitting on the huge curved stone, he hugged me from my back but I never returned any gesture, to show that I was happy with the hug. He asked,"What is the matter Valerie? Have I done something to hurt? Please talk to me, your silence is killing me." I got up and answered,"No dear, you haven't ever done anything to hurt me. I am the one leaving Los Angeles CA, so I want…I want a…I want a breakup now…I don't want a situation where we'll be wide apart and be hurting because we miss each, please don't make it difficult for us." I could see pain and tears which were threatening to come out in his eyes." He became speechless, he could not even open his mouth, as if his mouth was too heavy to be lifted. Gradually, tears began to flow effortlessly out of his eyes so I sounded an alarm to my senses to let tears out of my eyes and suddenly, I forced tears out of my eyes. "So…so,…you mean tha…that…you…you…are breaking up with me." he spitted out sadly. I couldn't control my feelings any longer, I was too soft to watch him. Why am I feeling this way? No! Bryant cannot be right! I can't fall in love with him, no I just can't fall in love with him. I then ran away without stopping, he chased me and before I could realized it, some people caught him and started beating him as they thought he was trying to abuse me. How can I be so heartless? I am hurting somebody who never laid a hand on me or even hurt me in any way. With the human part in me I confronted the people,"Please leave him alone, we're just playing." I lied and the people left him alone and I continued,"Look Kevin, I could have made those people to beat you but because of all you did for me, I saved your skin from being ripped off. If you don't stay away from me, I'll call them here that, I thought we were playing but you've started abusing me. Stay the fuck away from me Kevin, my job is done." This time around, the tears were really gushing down my eyes. "You can't do this to me Valerie! We love each other, you love me and I love you more." he responded.

"Well, you are wrong about it, you love me Kevin but I don't think I ever loved, it was just a crush." I replied and left to the hotel.
