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
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!
cared about in the past when I thought that you cared about
me, but that is not the case anymore. I know how sick the

t that would be for me? Of course
notas usual all they both cared about was themselves
You don‘t have to stay here and take this, “Abigail says
“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.

What the hell was his problem?

up in surprise to see that Adam was the one who‘d done it
