My Best Friend Stole My Royal Boyfriend

Chapter 36

I was heartbroken. The man I fell deeply in love with was only using me to fuel his power.

It was never about me; it was always about him and how he could use me to get stronger. I cried my eyes out for an entire week; my heart had shattered the moment he confessed that

everything Lizzie said to me was the truth. Adam didn’t show up to school for any of those days, and everyone in our class already had an idea that something had happened between the two of us. That was good; I didn’t want to have to explain to everyone why we weren’t together

anymore. We didn’t even last a good week; I’m sure that every single person who didn’t want us together in the first place would be happy to know that our relationship was so weak that it couldn’t last more than a day after our announcement. But it was better that I found out the truth earlier than later. If things had continued and I’d fallen more deeply in love with Adam, my reaction to learning the truth may have been much worse than this. My family knew that something was up with me,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) but I went with the lie that it had something to do with being the flaming whisperer, I told them that I didn’t want to let down everyone’s expectations of me. While that was true, it wasn’t the reason for my breakdown, but my parents could never know the truth. I was crazy for even thinking that I should tell them about us in the first place; my love for Adam only blinded me. For the second time in my life, I let the love I felt for someone keep me from seeing who they indeed were. I promised myself not to trust another person easily, and I did the exact opposite. I was disappointed in myself, but at the same time, I knew that this wasn’t something that I could easily control. Whatever bond Adam and I had was not a simple one, it may be weak on his end, but it was strong on mine.

Today was supposed to be an exciting one; it was the day that the dark whisperers finally went up in battle against the fire whisperers. It’s something that our school incorporates into its program. It’s a test to see how prepared the fire whisperers are against the dark whisperers if an attack ever were to happen. It’s supposed to be an innocent competition with the usual trophies laid out for all winners on an expansive display. Of course, now I knew that it wasn’t a simple competition. All along, I’ve thought that everything I’ve been taught from school and my parents were all a lie. I’ve felt that my parents were crazy, and so were others of my kind for believing a prophecy that never came true. But then, one by one, everything began unveiling before my eyes. First I was revealed as the flaming whisperer and then… Then I found out that Adam was indeed trying to take over the world. It wasn’t just some silly words meant to separate our kind; it was the truth. He was using me to gain the power to make that happen, to become the king of all nations. I shudder to think of what could have happened if Lizzie had never told me this. I was falling straight into his trap, giving him exactly what he wanted.

home. I didn’t listen to anyone when they told me to stay away from him; lignored their advice and did what I wanted to do, now I had to pay the price for that. I’d done the same thing I did with Bryan and Aria; I trusted someone that I should never have. Adam never did love me; he didn’t even care for me. It was all a lie. All of it.

But what I felt for him wasn’t a lie. I loved him. I loved Adam with all my heart; I loved him more than I loved anyone else before. I know that it was a short time to fall in love, but I did.

You can’t control who you love, but I could control what I did about it. I had to stay away from Adam for good. I couldn’t let him fool me any more than he already did. I was determined to listen to myself this time, it wasn’t only about me anymore, and that was what mattered the most.

I walk into the stadium, and all eyes turn to me. Even the teachers are looking at me. What exactly are they expecting from me today? I know that fire whisperers would be up against dark whisperers, but I had no idea who I was going up against; the list was kept confidential and would be announced today.

“Welcome to the flames versus darkness tournament. Who’s excited about the outcome?”

Professor Williams asks us. The crowd went up into an uproar, everyone was excited except

announcement. “The first match, Bryan will be up against Ashton.”
