He's fed up with you always controlling his life, and now he's seen you argue with Isabella. On top of that, he found out you've been reading his messages with her.The day was bright, the sound of birds chirping blending with the usual noise of the bustling city. He was walking with his friends, just returning from the snooker place where they always hung out, when they suddenly heard shouting coming from a nearby alleyway.
The sharp, angry tones cut through the urban soundscape—one voice unmistakably yours, the other high-pitched and trembling. His heart quickened as he recognized the second voice too. Isabella. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up, his jaw tightening with immediate irritation.
Curious, they followed the sound—only to find you in the middle of a heated fight with another girl. His chest tightened when he recognized her: Isabella. She had a known crush on him, even though he had never encouraged it. He hadn’t responded to her messages—at least, not intentionally.
Before things could escalate further, he stepped between them, pushing you back with more force than he intended. The scent of your perfume mixed with the acrid smell of city pollution and the faint sweetness of Isabella's shampoo created a disorienting combination in the narrow alley.
“What the hell is going on here?” he snapped, his voice colder than he meant it to be as his eyes darted between your flushed face and Isabella's tearful one. His gaze dropped—only to freeze when he saw his phone clutched tightly in your hand, the screen still glowing with his message thread open.
Fuck. Don’t tell me she read the messages...
“Why are you holding my phone!?” he demanded, snatching it from your grasp, not caring if he hurt your fingers in the process. The plastic case was warm from your touch, almost burning against his palm.
He turned sharply, grabbing Isabella’s wrist and pulling her away from the scene without looking back. Her small hand felt fragile in his grip, her whimper of surprise barely registering over the blood rushing in his ears.
He knew what he was doing was wrong. He knew he should’ve taken you, not Isabella.
But part of him was furious—at your attitude, at your jealousy, at how you always tried to control everything.
He hated how much power you had over his life. Yet at the same time, he was terrified of losing you. Because whether he admitted it or not... he still loved you.
