Chapter 20 - 20

Reiner's p.o.v

"There is a limit to everything including shamelessness and Brandon has crossed all his limits," he whispered after getting off the phone.

"What was that?" his sister asked him.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about school work," he said and resumed cooking. His phone vibrated and he received a message, he picked up his phone to check the message. When he saw it was from Brandon's phone he switched off his phone.

He made a lot of mess at work since he couldn't think properly, he kept thinking about Brandon kissing that boy at the park. His mind was occupied with such thoughts and it made him angry. "He claimed that it wasn't what I thought and then he goes and embraces him in front of me," he mumbled angrily..

He imagined in his head what they must have been doing at that very moment and shook his head. A tear fell from his eyes and he wiped it as quickly as it came. He was not going to break down or cry for someone like Brandon, he didn't deserve his tears of feelings. He hit his hand on the wall and reprimanded himself for developing feelings for him. His hand hurt but not as much as his heart.

He took his backpack and left the cafe in a hurry, his driver saw him leave and parked in front of the cafe. Reiner got in the car and the driver drove off, they arrived home and he rushed into the house. He went straight to his room and went to bed, he broke into tears on his pillow. He didn't want anyone to hear him sobbing so he did it silently. He remembered the first day he met him at the cafe and how cute he looked with the way he behaved. He wanted to smile at that memory but another memory played out in his eyes, one which he witnessed not long ago.

He had been a fool and opened up to someone who was only playing with his emotions. He had opened his heart to someone for the first time since she left and it didn't take long for him to be disappointed. He looked and acted so innocent that no one would have imagined that he would be a two-faced snake. On one hand, he was putting on an act to get close to him and on the other hand, he had another boy. He was cheating on him. "But how can he cheat on me if we weren't even in a relationship?" he asked himself.

He covered himself with the blanket. He had enough of people using him and he was going to make sure that it never happens again.

"Son are you okay?" asked his dad who was in the living room when he arrived and saw him rush to his room. He was worried that someone had upset him so he asked.

"Dad, I have a favor to ask you," he said from under the covers.

"Tell me,"

"I want to continue my education away from here," he said which confused his father.

"What do you mean son?" he asked.

"I don't want to be here anymore. Everything here reminds me of her and I can't take it anymore," he replied.

"Okay then I will book your flight tomorrow and get everything done in the meantime," he said to his understanding why he was upset.

" Not tomorrow, I want it done by tonight. I want to leave today," he demanded.

" Alright, I will get everything ready," he said and left the room to go attend to his son's requested.

Reiner laid in his bed facing the roof thinking about Brandon and all those times they spent together. Though short they made beautiful memories that were ruined by that scene at the park. He never wanted to see the weird boy ever again after what he did. He got up and started packing up his things. He had many plans to spend more time with the boy all through the year in school but now none of that would ever be possible.

The butler helped him load his things and he got in and left for the airport. His driver watched him from the review mirror and sighed. His dad had said that he was leaving because he can't bear the thought of her but he knew the truth. He knew the reason that his junior boss was leaving after all he was his driver and bodyguard so he kept up with everything Reiner did. He had seen him getting close to that boy and he also witnessed the scene at the park. He believed that there was some kind of misunderstanding, he didn't think Brandon was one to play with Reiner's feelings. He just wished that Reiner would have given him a chance to explain.

He took out his phone and texted Brandon's number, [ Reiner is leaving the country if u want to save your relationship then come to the airport and clear things up with him before it is too late]

He hit send and relaxed in his seat, he had worked for the Devon family for years's so he knew that it wasn't easy for Reiner to open up to anyone. He wasn't just going to sit around and watch him lose something special because of a misunderstanding. They arrived at the airport and sat down at the waiting area waiting for their plane to leave. They sat and waited to board, Reiner, put his earplugs on, and listened to music. His driver on the other hand kept checking the door waiting for Brandon to come.

The boarding time arrived and they boarded the plane, Brandon never showed up which disappointed the driver. " Maybe he wasn't who he thought he was," he said and buckled his seatbelt and tried to get some rest. Reiner sat next to the window and also decided to sleep. He closed his eyes but the memory of the scene in the park wouldn't leave him alone. Tears flowed from his closed eyes but he was too tired to wipe them and let them be. He soon drifted off to slumber. The driver Mike wiped his tears for him before going to sleep too.

At the hospital, Zane saw a notification for a message on Brandon's but did not open it. He didn't want to intrude on his privacy. Brandon's heart started beating normally again after some hours and he woke up.

"Reiner," was the first thing that came out of his mouth when he woke up. He got up from the bed and found Zane there looking at him. "What happened?" he asked him confuse as to why he was in the hospital.

"It's a long story. All that matters is that you are alright now," he said. Brandon's phone vibrated and he picked it up and read the message from an unknown number.

[ You lost your chance and now you have lost him forever ]

He didn't understand what the message was and scrolled up and saw the first message. His heart dropped when he read the message, he read the message over and over again trying to make sense of it. He wanted the message to change or for someone to tell him that it was a joke. Reiner had left the country forever, he had left him forever. He dropped the phone on the bed and his mind went blank and he became numb. His whole world had come crashing down on him one disappointment after another today. He was on edge of losing it.

"What happened to you?" asked Zane who picked up his phone and read the messages. The guilt he was feeling earlier multiplied a million times, he was the reason that Brandon's boyfriend left him. He had to help him get his boyfriend back.
