Don't Fall in Love With Me

38. You Are a Jerk!

Olivia's P.O.V

I couldn't have heard right. "Aiden? It can't be him!" I protested as Noah looked at me with pained eyes.

"I am really sorry Olives, but it is. I... I also can't make any fucking sense out of this." He said as he clenched his fists tightly. 

"But I have his number! This is an unknown one!" I cried out, not believing any sense which clouded my mind.

"Aiden and I have two numbers Olives. We both had taken this for stupid pranks, so that people don't catch up upon us. I have his number saved as he does mine." He said as he showed me his contact list as proof. Surely, the number matched with the one in Noah's contacts named as, "Bitch is Pranking!"

Under different circumstances, I would have laughed at the choice of words but right now I was dumbstruck to form any words. 

"What if we are reading this all wrong?" I pointed out as Noah let out a sigh of frustration.

"Don't you see Olives? Everything points towards him only! He knew how to break into your locker! He swore that he would read your diary, Jake told you he saw him messing with your locker, he was gone for the whole recess; what more of a proof can we have?!" He exclaimed. 

"I don't know okay?! I have no fucking idea! I just can't believe I trusted him so much! I can't believe the guy in front of whom I vented out betrayed me! I am sorry if I thought our relationship as special, where we both knew how much these things matter to us! How do you think I am supposed to fucking believe that the first person I ever let come close to me, allow him in my life, let him be his annoying goofy self because he made me laugh is the person who has seemingly stabbed me in the back?! I am fucking sorry Noah, but I have to stick to the last hope which I can find, which can prove the situation is not what it seems like!" I screamed at him, my body burning up as I felt my throat sting. 

Noah seemed taken aback at my sudden outburst. He surely wasn't expecting me to vent out this whole thing at him. Hell, even I was surprised at the depth of my words. 

I never actually realized how attached I had gotten to him in these past months. He was in almost every memorable moment of my life. I didn't see how much it hurt me to even think about the fact that he might not be a part of my life maybe one day. Maybe one day, he will not be there to smirk at me or call me princess.

"I know Olives how much Aiden means to you, I have seen it. Even if you might not believe me, but he feels exactly the same about you too and that is what makes it hurt more." He whispered as I heard him gulp harshly.

We both went silent, just thinking what we could do next. 

"Olivia?" We both looked up to see Laura approach us. She handed me my leave pass as I glanced at it once.

"Let's go. I have messaged James, saying you are back to normal now but you know how he likes to over contemplate these things! He had me book a meeting with our doctor immediately and consult if needed anything. Now come on, we should get going. I was also thinking on picking up a burger on the way so hurry up!" She grinned at me as she helped me get up, probably thinking I might fall or something. 

"You go on Laura, I will just come in a minute." I smiled at her as she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"Why what happened? Anything wrong or urgent?" She asked worriedly.

"It is nothing big Laura, don't worry. I just need to sort some work out before leaving. I just need a couple of minutes. I need to check it up now only, later it would just... Never mind but I need to get it done before I leave!" I spoke in my most convincing tone as the hesitation still seemed to be attached to her face.
