Imagine #154: Dare Me Not (Part 16)

*Y/N's P.O.V.*

It happened all too fast, earlier everything's perfect but now everything is just in ruins. I can't believe I fell for their trap.

I stood there like a status, already hearing whispering around me and judging eyes were on me. I couldn't move, I couldn't think...I know there's someone quarreling beside me. It's probably Meagan shouting at Elaine...I don't know, I really don't know anymore. I can feel my tears falling, I wanted to be angry, I wanted to shout, I wanted to defend myself...but I just stood there looking like a defeated pathetic girl. I couldn't fight back.

All of a sudden, the loud music and the bright lights vanished and that pulled me to my senses. Almost everyone panicked and lost their attention to me, I looked by the fuse and somehow saw a silhouette of a guy there - it was Brendon. He draw out the attention out of me.

I just whimpered there before running away as fast as I could. I can hear Meagan, Pete and Patrick shouting for my name but I ignored them. I went out of the venue and ran away from our college...fortunately, it was night time and I just now need someplace dark...where no one can find me and see me.

I can't believe I'm sobbing so hard...why? Maybe everything is just coming back, maybe this is really my karma after all the things I've done before...I honestly deserve this, but why am I sobbing like this? Why does it hurt like this?...

...Oh right, because I love that guy right from the start, even before all this...Looks like we're really not meant to be.

"Y/N?! Y/N?!" I heard Brendon's voice and finally, he spotted me as I leaned against a tree. We're in the park part of the college and fortunately, there's no one else in here. "Y/N...d-don't let those people drag you down." he said, carefully walking towards me and I just collapsed in there.

"I deserve it, I deserved everything they did..." I kept on murmuring while sobbing as I felt Brendon caught me in a hug. I kept on breaking there, my mind is so frustrated...I know I deserve this, but I still feel so betrayed and I hate it. I hate having conflicts in my feelings, it ruins my mind.

"What are you talking about? You don't deserve those things! You're too inno--

"No! You didn't know what I did before, what I did to Patrick before! I...I was the one who caused him to be like this! I started this all...It's all my fault and that's why I deserve this. H-he finally got his revenge, h-he finally r-ruined me too like what I d-did to him before." I confessed between my sobs. "But I swear, I SWEAR I would have done everything to re-do what I did...but it's all too late, I was too late to save him before. T-this is better, I-I should just really give up on making it up to him..." I continued.

Brendon was just holding me tight there and I'm really grateful for that because if I'm alone here, I have no idea what I could have done...at least I can put out all of my emotions when he's here.

"I-I have no idea what you're talking about, Y/N. But all I can say is, that's all in the past and the way you stated everything, I know you greatly REGRET what you've done. But remember that's all in the past now, we have to move on...you did everything to make it up to him, but maybe you're right...maybe this is how you and Patrick will be even." he said while he continuously wipe my tears away. "But you changed, you're not that girl you talk about before and that's what matters now. You'll be fine, Y/N...your friends and I...we're here for you." he said softly that made me just grip on his shirt like a kid and sobbed more.

I'm just really thankful that he's here right now because the fear of falling apart is pulling me down more.

*Patrick's P.O.V.*

I knew this will happen, I just hate myself for not stopping it to.

Y/N have ran out, and I'm sure I'm so red in there from anger. I stared with all the hatred at Elaine.

"You. Me. Talk." I told her while gritting my teeth and luckily she followed me out of the venue without any question, because I wouldn't want to drag her out of there.

"Told you I'm not do--

"How dare you do that?! That's not what happened!!! You just ruined her in front of everyone!" I shouted at her, but this girl just stared at me with a smirk.

"Babe, trust me...you'll thank me later. I'm just saving you from that lying pathetic girl..." she answered.

"No! You don't know her! I love Y/N, Elaine! Everything I told her is true and you just--

"Save those feelings for yourseld, Patrick, because I swear you'll hate her eventually when you find out the truth!" Elaine said.

Stop it, Patrick. She's just manipulating you.

"Elaine, shut up! You're really beginning to be the girl that I hate the most. Stop. This. Fucking. Non sense." I told her.

"Then ask her, Patrick. Just ask her what she knew about you...maybe you really change your mind. Trust me, I'm the one saving you here! You should be thankful that I did this, trust me, this is better. You and her are not meant to b--

"Shut. up!" I said, almost hitting her while I forced my palm against the wall behind her. I just missed her just a couple of inches. Elaine was shocked, but remained her posture. "You don't want me to hate you to the fullest, Elaine. Stop this." I said seriously to her and walked away while shaking in anger.

She really messed up everything.

"Ask her, Patrick...since you won't believe me. Just find it out yourself." she said, I can't believe she's still not stopping.

She's just manipulating me...Y/N wouldn't have done anything that would make me hate her.

-----------------------------

"Have you seen, Y/N?" Pete asked the moment we met an hour later after the commotion. I sadly shook my head no. I really spent time searching for Y/N, but I'm sure she's gone off far from this place by now.

"I know what that bitch said isn't true. I know you like Y/N, you wouldn't have done that." Meagan said and I'm honestly shocked that she's the one believing me now.

"I wouldn't even plan to do that to her now." I silently said. Pete pat my back.

"She'll come by soon, it's just really shocking for that to happen in front of many students. Y/N is understanding." Pete explained.

"I really hope so, Pete, but have you seen the way she looked at me?" I said, remembering the time she stared at me while Elaine falsely explained everything. I knew she felt betrayed, her eyes said so...I saw the way she breaks and I never wanted to see that again. "She probably hates me so much now..."
