“I need her to confess,” Samuel said looking at you and holding you by the arms, “That’s why I’m getting close to Carla.”
“What if something happens to you? Look at Christian! I’m sure that she’s behind the accident!” You tried reasoning with him multiple times, but he wouldn’t budge. Of course you were worried for the safety of your boyfriend, but it wasn’t only that. You were scared that he would get too close to the Marchioness.
“Y/N, nothing’s going to happen to me. I will be very careful”.
You closed your eyes and sighed heavily. Samuel tugged you closer and kissed your forehead. You smiled, then watched your boyfriend leave. You had to trust him. You did trust him. You just couldn’t trust her. She was gorgeous and evil.
A few days passed and you decided to visit Samuel at home, as at school you weren’t much in each other’s sight. You faked an argument to make everyone believe that you broke up so his plan could work. As you knocked on the door of the Garcia family, Nano opened.
“Samuel’s not home,” was the first thing he said, “but you’re welcome to come in.”
You entered and propped down on the sofa, your disappointment clear on your face, “I thought I could see him a bit. You know, it’s strange not talking to him and avoinding him when I know he’s right there and we’re actually together. I mean, people think we’ve broken up, but we haven’t,” you looked up at Nano and lowered your voice, “and I already miss him.”
“Didn’t you come by yesterday?”
“No, why would you think so?”
Nano shrugged and offered you a beer which you accepted. You chatted with him and once you finished drinking you went home.
You were at Rebeka’s Halloween party, looking for something to drink when you bumped into Samuel.
“Hey,” you smiled sweetly at him, “can we talk?”
For a second he seemed confused, then smiled, “Not here.” He took your hand and led you away from the chaos. You looked at your hands and felt relieved. As soon as you stepped into the safety of the room, you threw yourself at him. You kissed him, but he didn’t kiss back.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” he avoided your eyes and sat on the bed, “I thought you wanted to talk.”
“Yes, because you’re ignoring me,” you crossed your arms over your chest, “and this is not exactly how I expected you to react right now. I thought you’d be happy to have a few moments only with your girlfriend.” He was silent and that scared you, so you blurted out the first thing that came to mind, “And Nano’s here.”
“What? Where?” he bolted through the door. You followed him but lost him in the crowd of people. The fact that he used his brother as an excuse to run from you angered you.
When you reached him, he was beating the shit out of Nano. And Carla was there. You tried to stop him, but he wouldn’t listen to you. He didn’t stop until he was pulled away from his bleeding brother.
“What is wrong with you?” you shouted at him, helping Nano to get up.
“I’ll tell you what is wrong with him,” Nano sniffed, wiping some blood from his nose, “he’s falling for the Marchoiness!”
Your eyes met those of Samuel, and in that moment you knew Nano was telling the truth. You blinked furiously a few times to stop the tears that were already filling your eyes, “This is why I didn’t want you to do that,” you shook your head, “did you have sex with her?” He lowered his gaze and the first tears started to fall down your face, “of course, you were. Why else wouldn’t you answer my texts? Or ignore me like that? And you know what hurts most, the fact that you cheated.”
He took a few steps towards you but you backed away, “Y/N, I’m sorry… I… I…”
“Why didn’t you say anything?” but he didn’t know how to answer, "What aren’t you saying anything right now?! Samuel I was always there for you! I was there when Nano was arrested, Marina chose your brother instead of you, I was there when she died, and even in this fucking mess I trusted you and would’ve done anything for you!“ By now you were shaking hard, "The least I deserved was the truth.”
He was still silent. You felt your heart break as you spoke the next words, “No more, Samuel. I’m letting you go. I won’t be there anymore to catch you when you fall. Even though it’s breaking my heart, I’m giving up on you. I didn’t expect you to love me so soon after everything that happened with Marina, but still I was hoping… And there you are falling in love with another girl.” You wiped away the tears, but new ones kept on coming, “Goodbye, Samuel.”
