Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 57

Kyle’s P.O.V.

“When do you plan to come back home?” my father asked me in a bitter tone and I scoffed once again. “What is a home, dad?” I asked him in the same bitter tone while looking at him without blinking. He opened his mouth again but didn’t say anything. He closed his mouth and looked in the other direction. “You already have done enough damage to our reputation. This is enough. You should come back now”, he said to me in a cold tone without looking at me and I scoffed again. “Why should I come back there? Give me one solid reason first”, I asked him again in a bitter tone. “You”, he yelled a little and looked back at me.

I raised my brow and he didn’t say anything once again. We were sitting in a café near the school. My father came to meet me here after my practice. I didn’t tell anyone that I am going to meet him today. They all went to Ethan’s home as Ethan wanted to meet them. I told them that I would come later as I had some urgent work. I didn’t want to tell them because they would not let me come alone here. “I think you should leave now, dad. You have already wasted fifteen minutes of your precious time on me here for nothing”, I taunted him and then stood up. “Sit down, Kyle. I didn’t tell you to sand up”, he gritted his teeth and I looked at him amusingly. He never bothered to spend a few minutes in the past. Now he was sitting with me for more than fifteen minutes and still didn’t want me to go.

I sat down while looking at him with an amusing expression on my face. “Did I crack a joke here?” he asked me in a bitter tone once again and I laughed this time. “For me… yes… it’s a bitter joke that you wanted to spend some more time with me. You don’t know how desperately I waited for this day when you want to spend some time with me. Too bad that the day has come in this way”, I replied to him in a bitter tone and his eyes widened at my revelation. “You always portray us as a bad parents”, he mocked me and I laughed lightly while shaking my head again. “Okay…. Tell me when did I get my first medal? Answer me and I will change your image in my heart”, I asked him in a calm tone still looking at him with an amusing gaze.

He raised his brows at me but didn’t say anything. I waited for him to answer my question but deep down in my heart, I already knew that he didn’t know the answer to this question. “Let’s change the question. I know that you don’t know the answer to this question. “When was the first time I cried the whole evening? I am sure that you know the answer to this question because our servants always told you everything about my activities at home”, I mocked him in a very calm voice while changing the question. As expected, he didn’t know the answer to this question too. I wanted him to answer any of these questions only to comfort me that they did care for me. I felt a stabbing pain in my heart when he didn’t open his mouth.

I scoffed and then looked at the glass of juice in front of me. I wanted to scream at him right now but couldn’t because we were in a public place. “There is a girl in our class who is abandoned by her parents when she was only nine. Her grandmother took care of her and after her grandmother’s death, she is living alone and is doing everything for herself alone without getting any help from her birth parents. No one knows where are they, not even that girl”, I told him about Violet in a low tone and then paused. I looked up at him. He had narrowed his eyes at me. “I feel no worse than that girl. The only difference is that she doesn’t know anything about her parents whereas my parents are right in front of me but I am just a commodity for them, not their son”, I once again spoke in a bitter tone.

This time, I stood up and without listening to his call, stormed out of the café. I didn’t want to stay in front of him anymore. It didn’t matter whether I am a commodity for them or not, they would not give their time and care to me. Suddenly someone grabbed my shoulder from behind and pulled me backwards. I looked behind at the person holding me by my shoulder outside the café. It was my dad who was now looking at me with regret. “Come back home, Kyle”, he once again said the same thing that he had been saying for the last twenty minutes. “Why should I? What’s in there for me, huh? A few servants, an old butler, and so many other luxuries, but where are my parents? Are they there for me, huh? No…. they are not there for me because they have a business to deal with. So, they don’t have time to even glance at their child”, I once again taunted him in a bitter tone.

I felt tears building up in my eyes and I didn’t want to cry in front of him. I jerked his hand away from my shoulder and stormed towards my car parked outside the café. “Kyle… listen to me… Kyle”, I heard him yelling at me from behind but I didn’t stop. I didn’t have reason to stop now and listen to his nonsense. I only reason that they wanted me back home was to save their so-called reputation. They didn’t want me back home because they cared for me or they loved me. It was enough to break my heart once again. I was not wrong when I said that I was no better than Violet because both of us lacked our parents’ love in our lives.

We both were the same because our parents chose their own happiness and lives over us. We were not welcomed in this world by them. For them, we were just an accident. I drove Ethan’s car but didn’t know where. I just wanted to go away from there. I drove the car aimlessly while cursing my life and cursing everything about me. Both my mind and my heart were in a mess and I didn’t want to go in front of Violet in this condition. I stopped the car on the side of the road after driving for a long time. I put down my head on the wheel and closed my eyes. Tears started pouring down from my closed eyes.

I took a deep breath when my phone started ringing. A bitter smile crept on my lips when I saw Ethan’s name on the caller ID. My best friend always called me whenever I felt low and depressed. He never asked me why I am feeling low but he knew how to cheer me up. “What is it?” I asked him in a calm tone but sniffed when I felt the blocking of my nose. There was silence on his side for a few seconds. “Will you bring pizza for Violet and the guys? We are actually starving”, he asked me in a calm tone and I smiled again. I was glad that he didn’t ask anything. I sniffed again before replying to him. “I will, but I have a class in a few minutes.. I am on my way to his home”, I informed him when I remembered that I had to tutor a junior this evening. “Aaahhhh…. I can’t survive that long”, he whined and I just shook my head.

“Order then… I will call you after finishing my class”, I said to him in a calm tone. “O… I forgot”, he suddenly exclaimed and I raised my brows this time. “Don’t go anywhere after your class…. Violet has to submit her assignment tomorrow and you haven’t finished that yet”, he said and I narrowed my eyes in confusion. “Ethan…. what are you talking about?” I asked him in confusion. “Maths assignment…. what else… you were about to finish that last night but didn’t”, he told me briefly and I closed my eyes and g*****d. I was helping Violet in finishing her homework and assignment and it really skipped from my mind that I had to write both her and my assignment. “Okay… I will take care of that”, I replied to him and then we both hung up. I cringed my nose in irritation and banged the wheel by my palm. I really forgot and I didn’t know what Violet was now thinking about me. She couldn’t write due to swelling on her arms and on shoulders. So, she was completely dependent on me for her homework and assignment. I guess I had to sacrifice my sleep tonight to finish the work.
