Chapter 16

"Left from that street right?" He asked and she nodded.

From the corner of her eye she saw his face, he still looked strikingly handsome.

"So what are you doing here, took a break or something?" Justin couldn't help but ask, he wanted to know if she was still in touch with Alex.

"Huh?" Isabella snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him, he eyed her and she blinked then responded, "No.. no I-I am not on a vacation, I don't work there anymore."

"You don't?" He asked and his insides filled with happiness.

"No." Her gaze fell back into her lap.

"Long distance relationship must be hard for you, doesn't it?" He scolded himself for asking her that, cause if by chance she said that she was still in a relationship with him, hell knows what he will do.

"I am not in a relationship with anyone. Not after you." She denied and he paused for a second after her last statement.

"Oh." Was all he said and she felt her heart clench.

"Do you really don't care anymore?" She asked so quietly that it was almost a whisper but he heard it and didn't know how to answer that.

"No. Why should I?" He said when in reality he didn't mean it. Of course, he cared, he cared more than ever he could think of.

"I don't know.. I just.. let it be... I am sorry for asking." She apologized and went silent because she knew if she tried to say something she will break down.

"Isabella? Are you okay?" He asked out of concern as no matter what his mind says he never wishes to hurt her.

"I am good." She averted her gaze but the crack in her voice didn't go unmissed.

He stopped the car right before her house and she noticed her dad's car gone. He must have left for work.

She immediately got out of the car and walked towards her house and Justin only stared at her back.

She reached the knob of the door but halted there. Then it struck her, this was the last chance for her, she may not ever get him back but will she be able to live in regret that she never explained him? Definitely no. Keeping this in mind she turned around and saw Justin staring right at her. She dashed towards him and getting back inside the car she took a deep breath. He stared at her confusingly and was about to speak when she stopped him.

"This is probably the last time we're meeting, I know there's no way we can ever get back together but I want to explain all the mess back there to you."

"Isab-" she cut him off.

"No! Let me speak. We broke up all those months ago and you didn't give me a chance to explain but I want to know, trust me I am not saying this only to get the regret off my chest but also because you deserve an explanation, I have hurt you way too bad and I want you to know that I never intended to, I loved you way too much and I could never hurt you, not then, not now."

"I am listening." He murmured and she weakly smiled.

Starting from the day her and Alex's relationship started to the day Justin caught them kissing she told him each and every detail. He too listened patiently although it fucked his brains to listen to her talking about another man.

"That's a lot." He exclaimed when she finished and she dropped her gaze.

"But its the truth, I swear Justin from the day I got closer to you I never touched anyone other than you, yes I accept not breaking up Alex first was a big mistake of mine but I do regret it so much." She pleaded and he nodded.

"Thanks for telling me... I guess." He didn't know what to say. No matter how much she explained he was still mad at her, maybe the intensity had gone less but it hadn't vanished.

Seeing her still so rude and harsh she finally broke down in front of him.

"Why are you acting like this?" She cried and he got shocked at her sudden outburst, "I get it that I've hurt you but... but can't you just give me one more chance? I love you for god sake. I love you so much! It killed me last night to see you with another girl and.. and.." She lost her words and all that left her mouth after that was a shrill wail.

"Izzy.."

"I am sorry... I am so so so sorry for what I did but please I am begging you I love you." She cried and he shook his head.

He never meant to make her so vulnerable.

"Shhh, Izzy." He embraced her in his arms and she immediately clings on to him, "Stop begging like that, you don't have to baby." He cooed but she just cried more.

"I love you so much, I missed you." She murmured into his neck and he kissed the side of her head.

"I missed you too."

"Will you give me one more chance? Please." She said and he nodded.

"Yes but things are not going to be smooth Izzy. You have to earn my trust, you have to prove to me that you aren't going to cheat this time."

"For you? Anything." She smiled although she wanted to correct that she didn't exactly cheat. But that didn't matter much. She was getting her man back after all.
