My Best Friend Stole My Royal Boyfriend

Chapter 8

I want to say something, thank him, anything at all, but

my mouth wouldn‘t obey. But it‘s not like he‘s saying

anything either. It‘s only then that I remember that it‘s not

just us in the room. Everyone is staring at us; the space is

almost tranquil except the music still blasting through the This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

speakers.

Adam notices this simultaneously as I do, and he slowly

takes his hand off my ear. His jaw clenches for a moment, but

the look on his face quickly changes to unbothered as he

turns to walk away.

The moment he steps away, I feel like I can breathe

again. The crowd also seems to be back to whatever they

were doing before the tension between Adam and I began.

“I don‘t know about you, but that there was incredibly

hot,” Abigail says to me.

I give her a confused look, “more like terrifying.”

So it wasn‘t precisely terrifying; my body was still

tingling from his nearness and his hands on my body even

though it was just on my ear. I‘m not sure how everyone else

saw what just happened between us, but I can‘t explain it,

even to myself.

“I didn‘t think that your parents would get you to come

here tonight.”

I stiffen at the familiar voice, and I try to keep a straight

Aria looks down at my outfit, and it‘s the first time I feel

like she sees me as a threat. She always saw me as someone

that couldn‘t compete with her, but today I can actually see

jealousy in her eyes, and she isn‘t trying to hide it from me.

Did I really look that good for people to have these kinds of reactions towards me today? Even Bryan was looking at me as though he couldn‘t recognize me; in fact, it seems like he

can‘t stop staring at me. Even Aria notices this, and she

clears her throat for him to stop. His cheeks are red after he

realizes that she‘s just caught him eyeing his ex–girlfriend,

the same one she stole him from; me.

“It’s nice of you to get my parents to force me to come

here tonight; you two must really enjoy seeing me,” I say

with a fake smile on my face.

Bryan sighs, “come on, Amiera, you know that this was

the only way for us to get you to come here tonight. We are

trying our best to get you back. Our lives are incomplete

without you in them. We want you back.”

Want me back? I’ve thought of all the different ways

that he would ask me back into his life, and this was not one

of them

“Are you both truly this selfish? Would you stop at

nothing to get only what you want?” I demand. “Your wants

and needs are no longer important to me. Maybe it was all!

notas usual all they both cared about was themselves

“Who the hell is she?” Ari asks. “Your replacement for

us is the creepy girl in class who‘s never spoken to anyone

before?”

“Leave her out of this.” I hiss, at least she never

betrayed her best friend and slept with her boyfriend!”

I grab Abigail‘s hand and push them aside as I walk

away

“I‘m so sorry about that,” I apologize. “I don‘t want you

to get bullied because of me. This is a side of Aria I‘ve never

seen before now. I guess I never truly knew her.”

She shakes her head at me, “you don‘t have to

apologize to her. It‘s not your fault that she‘s a lying,

cheating bitch. Let‘s not let her ruin our night. We can have

some fun here without the two of them interfering.”

Inod, and we both begin to sway along with the music,

“So are you going to tell me what was that between you

and Adam just now?” she asks. “I didn’t get a chance to talk

to you about it because of Aria and Bryan.”

I open my mouth to speak when I notice him a little

distance away with Ashley right next to him. Her hand is on

his arms and she‘s trying her best to flirt with him it‘s not

his arms, and she‘s trying her best to flirt with him. It‘s not

only her; there are so many girls here that are trying their

best to get closer to him.

I keep forgetting just how famous Adam is with the girls

in my school. He doesn‘t even have to try, and girls fall for

him.

“Can you excuse me for a few minutes?” I ask Abigail.

“I‘ll like to get some fresh air, and then I‘ll return.”

She follows my gaze and sees what I‘d just seen, and

she nods without asking any questions. “Take your time; I‘ll

be right here when you get back.”

I push through the crowds and ignore some of the calls

from some guys from school; it felt weird getting so much

attention when I wasn‘t used to it before. I only wanted

attention from one man, but he was too busy getting

attention from all the school girls.

Before I can reach the door that would take me outside,

someone pulls me back. I stare at the hand on my shoulder

and look up to find Bryan. I clench my jaw and refrain from

shouting at him. Who does he think he is to touch me so

freely?

I pull away from him and keep some distance between

the two of us, “what do you want now? Did we not already

settle this earlier tonight?” I demand, not trying to hide my

annoyance with him.

“I just want to talk, Amiera,” he whispers. “I‘ve done

some things that I can‘t help but feel horrible about. I admit

that I felt like I was doing what was right, but now I feel so

much guilt that I don‘t know what to do with myself. Please

believe me when I say that I never wanted to hurt you. I just

started to fall for,”

I raise my hand to stop him. “You‘ve said it already;!

don‘t need to hear it again. Aria was always the more

beautiful one to you. She was always the girl that everyone

wanted, including you. You finally have her; you finally have

what you‘ve wanted all along. I don‘t want to keep having to

tell you to stay away from me, Bryan. Why do you keep

harassing me when the woman you‘ve always wanted is

finally by your side?”

It was a question that I didn‘t care to hear the answer

1. to. However, I did need to understand why the hell he

wouldn‘t just let me go

He‘s quiet as he tries to come up with an answer, and I

turn to leave; I’ve had enough of this.

He grabs onto my arm once more, stopping me from

going forward, only making me angrier.
