Chapter 12 "Princess, wake up!" I was being repeatedly woken up by someone, at first, I thought someone was calling my name in my dream but then I found out that someone was waking me up in the reality. I opened my eyes and looked around, my vision was blurry and the lights that peeled out of the curtains burned my eyes. I looked around to see Bruce, he was sitting beside me. "Leave me alone," I said before rubbing my eyes and getting up from the floor. I started to walk away from him but he gently pulled my hand so I had to stop. "I am sorry, Wendy." He stated, he had an apologetic tone but I wasn't taking his apology in. What he did last night was terrible, something I couldn't forgive so easily. He got up and stood beside me, I looked down, away from him. My eyes were swollen and red from crying the entire night. I did get some sleep but I also got a migraine. My head was aching and I just wanted to go back to sleep. I stood in front of him quietly, I had no words for him and I was in no mood to speak to him. "I am really sorry, please forgive me. I realized what I had done last night and it was terrible. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that neither I should have been that violent with you." He apologized again but it didn't matter to me. I lost my trust in him. He lost that trust he had build for ten years. "Just go," I said, "Actually no, wait, I will leave. I'm sorry for causing any trouble, I don't want to stay here so I am going to go back." I continued. I pulled my hand away from him and slowly started to walk towards the bed. I grabbed my purse but he stopped me. "No, Wendy, don't do that! I am really sorry." He took my face in his hands and made me look up at him. He hadn't changed his clothes because he was wearing the leather jacket from last night. I assumed that he hadn't slept also because his eyes were also red. "I am sorry," he whispered, "You know I am not like that, whatever happened last night was a big mistake. I promise it won't happen again. Don't leave." He said. "It won't happen again because I will never see you again. I trusted you more than myself, I really did. And you broke my trust in one mini second. You had hurt me a lot last night, Bruce and I don't think so I can ever forget that." I whimpered, my eyes started to tear up again. I was a very sensitive person and being with Bruce made me strong but today he became my weakness. "Wendy, please, I am really sorry. We all do mistakes right? Just forgive me this time and I will promise you that it won't ever happen. I was angry and pissed and I didn't know how to react to it. I just went a full beast you and I know that, I am really sorry." He said while wiping the tears away from my cheeks. I couldn't hold it anymore so I just hugged him and cried. "I really hoped that you never do that to me! You knew me so well, you knew what I went through but you still acted like that." I cried on his shoulders. He patted my back and pulled me into a tighter hug. "I know, I don't know what happened. I just got pissed and it happened so suddenly. I tried to talk to you again when I was calm but you had the door locked, I literally spend hours searching for the key and once I got in, you we're asleep. I wanted to apologize last night itself but you were sleeping so I couldn't." Bruce said. "Okay," I muttered. My head was still on his shoulders. "So you forgive me?" "Yes, Bruce, I forgive you but I cannot ever forget that. I won't ever see as the same person as before. But it's okay, I forgive you!" I said before pulling away from him. I wiped my wet cheeks and smiled. "Thank you, Wendy. I promise on our friendship that it will never happen again. And I have a surprise for you so you can forget it." He said, he held my hand gently and we walked out of the room together. "Sit," he bought me to the living room and I sat down. He left and came back after some time. Once he was back, he sat beside me and handed me two items. "First, for breaking your phone." He said before handing me a new phone. "You didn't have to do that!" I exclaimed when I saw the new phone. I always wanted a new phone and I finally got it. "Second, I booked your ticket for today night and I also booked a hotel for three nights in Las Vegas." He said and I was shocked. My eyes widened in happiness, he actually did that. "Oh my god, Bruce, oh god, what should I say?" I screamed as I pulled the ticket away from him and looked at them. "Nothing," he whispered and pulled me to another hug. After hugging for a couple minutes, he kissed my forehead and said sorry again. "But, Bruce, this is too much. You did so much for me." I said to him and he shook his head. "If this is what makes you happy then why not. Also, I have friends in Las Vegas who will take care you during the whole trip." He said. I was so happy that I was finally going to my dream place. "Thank you!" I screamed again. "No problem, princess." He said. "But I want to know few things?" I wanted to know a lot of things actually and this was the perfect time to ask Bruce about last night and Marco. "Yes, sure, go ahead." "Why did you do that? Why did you get pissed at me last night? Did I do something wrong?" I asked him and his smiled vanished away. He sighed, "No, Wendy, you didn't do anything wrong." "Then, what is wrong? Why did you pull me away from Marco?" I questioned. He clenched his jaw and responded, "Listen to me carefully, please, I don't want you to have any kind of relationship with Marco. I care for you and that man isn't good. Believe me," "Why not, he is literally the most sweetest person and I really like him." I did actually. "You have to let go of those feelings, you may like him but trust me he just wants you for his own purpose. I have known him for more than I know you and he isn't a good person. He is going to use you and he has done this to a billion girls, he breaks them beyond repair and he just hurts everyone." He explained but I didn't believe him. Instead, I believed my own instinct, Marco was an amazing person and just meeting him a couple times showed me that. "Okay, I won't see him again." I lied to him about that. Definitely I was going to see him again but I just wanted his number so I could talk to him about last night.

This was the moment where I decided to go a step further with my lie, I had never lied to him before but I was going to now. I had strong feelings for that man and there is no way I am going forget him. I never felt that spark with anyone except for Marco, I never wanted to kiss anyone except for him, I never wanted anyone to touch me except for him. I gave him my consent last night and I gave him myself. I didn't knew whether it was lust or love but it was definitely something real. "Yes, I promise." I lied again by placing my hand over his and promising him to never see that man again. "Thanks a lot. Now go, pack up and chill for you last day, you are going to Las Vegas tonight." He screamed and I screamed louder. I couldn't be any more happier than I was. I ran back to my room with my phone and called my mother first, I had her number revised so I dialed it quickly but she didn't respond and it went to voice mail. 'Hi mom, I am going to a small trip for three days. I am going to Las Vegas with a girl friend just for fun and all but I will be back soon. My work is starting on this weekend and I really want to come home when I come back here. I love you and I miss you! Tell Bella that I love her please and that I will be back soon.' I recorded and send that. • • • My flight was at 2 am and I was all ready and packed. I had one small suitcase with my things and Bruce dropped me off to the airport, he taught me how to check in and I successfully checked inside. I kept on messaging him and asked him details about a billion times now. He helped me through everything but when I went inside the airplane, I couldn't use my phone. I sat down on my designated seat, near the window, beside me an old lady was sitting and sleeping. I sighed and closed my eyes and waved my city one last time before leaving. The flight was two hours long, I didn't get tired neither I slept, I was pumped with excitement. I wanted to go everywhere in Las Vegas but I wished that Bruce would be here with me. I didn't get any respond from my mother but I was hoping to check my messages once I landed in L.A.
