Chapter 67: I Want You Back
Chapter 67: I Want You Back
Jasmine's POV
"I want you back, Jaz" his words literally made me stop, but I didn't dare to look at him. I feel like all the memories that I've already forgotten have come back.
I wanted to laugh at him. But I couldn't. I wanted to think that it was all a joke.
"You know what Travis? There's a time for a joke," I told him. He's looking at me like he's telling me that I should believe him.
"Jaz, common. Don't look at me like that. I'm telling the truth," he said, trying to hold my hand. Is he joking again?
"When did you tell Travis the truth, Travis? Tell me. I couldn't remember anything that you told me because everything you did was lie to me," I said while he was staring at me.
He didn't become honest to me, not a single thing. The only thing he really did was to marry me and after that he cheated. What did he say before? He will love me, he will cherish me and he will spend the rest of his life with me.
But all of those words are just words because he never did. And now he's shown in front of me saying that he wants me back? Did he hit his head?
All I remember while we were together were those days when he never showed me love. Those days, he kept on ignoring me and leaving me alone in our house, saying excuses were not really true.
I just can't believe him.
"If it is because of what happened that night in the bar, I didn't mean to do that. What I mean is I can't do that, Jaz," he said, trying to convince me. But I don't believe him. I saw it with my own eyes that he kissed that girl. "Could you please stop lying? I've had enough of your lies, Travis. And I am not the one you should tell those words to. I am not your fiance. We're already divorced, and you have nothing to do with me. " I got my hand back.
If he's just doing this so he can play me again, well, he's wrong. I am not the Jasmine he knew before. I was no longer Jasmine five years ago.
"I never lie to you, Jaz. I know you can't understand me. But all I know is that I want you back." He said it if all the pain he caused me was nothing.
Didn't he think of my feelings? Didn't he even think for once that he hurt me so badly? Did he not know that I've suffered for how many years? Did he not know that I felt like I was alone? Did he know that he had a son? No! Because all he did was refuse me! All he did was cheat on me!
I can't forgive him! And he's saying that he wants to be back?! Is he out of his mind? Did he think that I would accept him?! I'm not a fool to do that! I am not going to be who I am in those years.
"Could you please stop your act?! You said you want me back? Why? To play with my feelings again?! Are you nuts? Do you think that I would agree?! You hurt me, Travis! And as far as know, you didn't care about it! Because all you care about is to cheat on me!" I shouted at him, and he couldn't answer me because I was right.
"Jaz, please," he begged, but I shook my head. He can't get me like that. I loved him so much, and I'm willing to do everything for him, but that was before. That was a long time ago.
"Travis, what did you do when Your
mom mocked me? Not even once or twice. What do you do when everyone around you judges me? What did you do? What did you do when Stacy hurt me? Nothing Right? Now tell me you didn't really dove
did you?" I asked him, I've been waiting for this moment to ask him so many questions that have always been on my mind.
He couldn't even answer me. I knew that he didn't love me, but I just wanted to hear it from him-to confirm it.
"No! I love you, Jasmine! I loved you so," he said, which made me laugh sarcastically. Does he love me? How come? Is he joking again? That's impossible. I don't believe him!
"Common Travis, stop making things harder for you. You didn't really love me! Because of you! You will defend me; you will think about my feelings! Did you do that?! No right! Because all you did was to ignore me for all of those years!" I shouted at him He's lying! Is he just doing this to make me a rebound, or what?
"I did love you, Jasmine, and I still love you even now!" He kept on insisting, which made me hate him.
"Travis, I never felt you loved me! I
never did. And now? You're saying that you love me? How could you say that during all of those years, you have been with Stacy? How can I say these words to myself? Are you drunk?! Are you just making all of those things because Stacy already cancelled the wedding because of your stupidity?" I said, but he just shook his head like he was telling me that all that I was saying right now was not true.
"Jasmine, you can't understand. I love you, Jaz. There is no night that I've been thinking about you," he said, and I wanted to slap him so hard right now. Can he hear what he's saying? He's only telling nonsense things that I will never ever be able to believe. "Are you out of your mind? Listen, my life is okay now. I don't want to be in trouble anymore. Please. Just stop bothering me anymore, Travis. Let's just pretend like we didn't know each other." I told him and walked away, not waiting for his response
