Once, my paranoid love

“No, let me check it once. Elena, how did this happen? Tell me the truth,” Ron demanded.

‘What’s the matter with him? His attitude toward me is strange.’ I narrowed my eyes while thinking.

“Elena, Ron, you guys are here,” Eva said suddenly while coming toward us.

“Is everything all right?” Eva asked. Ron was holding my hand, which Eva noticed.

Ron responded, “Eva, Elena is hurt.”

“What?” Eva approached me and said, “Where? Let me see Elena.”

I wanted to say something because Ron and Eva started assuming things. “Wait, wait. Let me talk. Actually, last night I slipped in the washroom.” I spoke because I didn’t want to bring it up.

“You should be careful,” Eva advised, as she touched my wound.

Ron’s face became stern as he heard Elena. He thought while looking at her, ‘Elena, why are you lying? Why are you defending that jerk? He did that to you, I’m sure.’

“Are you sure?” Ron asked.

But Ron abruptly stroked my chin. I was taken aback while thinking about what was wrong with him. It was a baffling situation.

“Let me look,” Ron said as he lifted my chin.

But as soon as we heard Ron’s name, we turned back.

“Ron!”

That voice was familiar to me. I knew it was Paul. He was gazing at me furiously when I glanced at him.

Paul arched his brows while looking at Elena and thought, ‘You didn’t feel the need to wake me up since you were so eager to see him. So, Elena, how about last night? Did you lie to me? Why do you always hurt me like this when I try to change myself? Was my mother correct? Did you play a joke on me last night? Don’t you love me? Everything is a lie, and you, like my mom, are indeed a liar.’

Paul tightened his hold. Paul would talk to Elena later, but first he needed to teach that jerk a lesson. Paul approached them and drew Elena to him, saying, “How dare you touch her?”

When I saw Paul like that, I asked, “What are you doing, Paul?” Paul tightened his grip on my hand as he glanced at me.

“And you? You didn’t wake me up because you were so eager to meet him,” Paul added.

I nodded in a negative way; he must have misunderstood me. “Paul, you misunderstood me,” I tried to explain to him. “I’d only come to take a few notes. But, while I was passing through here, Ro-.” But Paul interrupted me in the middle.

“Elena, there’s no need for an explanation. I already know who you are and how you tricked me,” Paul responded fiercely. I knew Paul was upset, and it did not bother me, so I said, “Paul, believe me. That is not the case.”

Nikita appeared out of nowhere and asked, “Babe, why are you here? Let’s go to class.”

When I looked at Nikita, she noticed Paul holding my hand. “I’ll take care of it, darling. But I must teach a lesson to a girl who tricks boys.” Suddenly, Paul spoke out.

My heart shattered when I heard him. When I was trying to help him to change his ways and forget what he has done to me, and he came with his girlfriend, and started insulting me. Why did you continually claim you loved me, and why did you keep calling me when you already had a lover? So I was simply a bed warmer for you, right? I tried to yank my hand away from him and said angrily, “I’m not one of your servants. It is not my responsibility to wake you up.”

“You,” Paul said fiercely as he drew me closer to him.

“Paul, let her go,” Ron said.

Paul grimaced and said, “Your threats mean nothing to me. Ron, do whatever you want.” I looked around. Everyone was having a good time with the drama.

“They’re fighting for Elena again,” Tina whispered to Nishi. “See, I told you there was something going on with them.”

“Why don’t you do anything, Niki?” Nishi said.

Nikita was looking at them aimlessly, since she had nothing better to do. She thought while looking at Ron and Paul, ‘What am I supposed to do? Why are you so enamored with Elena, Paul? And what exactly did you say about last night? What did you do, guys? Damn! I’m at a loss for words. Whatever you do, Paul, I will never let you leave me.’

“I told you to leave her, Paul,” Ron remarked.

Paul grinned and said, “Ron, I’m her guardian, so I can do whatever I want.” Ron was on the verge of punching him.

“Stop it!” I yelled. They both stared at me. I drew my hand away from Paul and muttered, “I’m not in need of your pity. Just shut up, you guys.”

“And you,” I continued, looking at Paul, “your girlfriend is here; try to spend some time with her. She waited for you all night, so don’t make her wait any longer. Don’t call me all the time and don’t mix me with your girlfriend.”

Paul called out my name, “Elena!”

I said, “Don’t you dare to call me!”

Ron gave Paul a sly grin.

“Elena, please wait,” Eva said, but I didn’t. I tried to hold back my tears and dashed out the door as quickly as I could. While running, I murmured, “Paul, I’m simply nobody for you. Every night, you just want to devour me. I despise you.”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Ron took Eva’s hand and said, “Let it go, Eva. She needs more time.”

“Please go to your class. I’ll be there as well,” Ron said to Eva. Eva nodded and walked into class. Ron gave Paul a sidelong glance and added, “Paul, I’ll take her. You won’t be able to do anything.”

Paul arched his brows and said to him, “Ron, you’ll never get her. I will not let that happen.”

‘She’s all mine. I don’t care if she’s bad or nice, or if she’s like my mother; all I want is for her to be in my life.’ Paul thought. Nikita heard from Paul, but she did not get what Paul wanted. She grabbed his hand tightly and said, “Honey!”

“Get lost,” Paul said in an irritating tone as he shoved and walked out of there. Nikita and her friends stood there with shocked faces.

Nikita entered the class and called out Eva. Nikita approached her and said, “Eva.”

Nikita remarked, “I heard Elena and you are buddies.”

“No, they’re best friends,” Nishi mockingly said.

“What do you mean?” Eva asked.

“Haven’t you seen your lover fighting for your friend?” Tina said.

Eva asked, “Boyfriend?”
