Chapter 6
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 6<\/p>\n
In the comments, a few people tried to stick up for the girl who got dumped, but his fans swarmed in and shut them down fast.<\/p>\n
Over and over, they parroted the same old line: \u201cThe one who isn\u2019t loved is always the side chick.\u201d<\/p>\n
It got nastier. They blamed her for Hannah\u2019s accident at the ski resort, saying it nearly ruined her dance career. They insisted she knew Lawrence only had eyes for Hannah and that she still wouldn\u2019t let him go, no matter how many times he broke up with her. She was painted as desperate, refusing to take no for an answer.<\/p>\n
Some even said she went after Hannah on purpose\u2014hurt her, even. The fans claimed no one could ever compete with a childhood sweetheart. According to them, Lawrence was always in love with Hannah, from the start.<\/p>\n
The attacks didn\u2019t stop there. Any sympathy for Bonnie, the ex, got drowed out by harsh, judgmental comments.<\/p>\n
If anyone understood just how ruthless Hannah\u2019s fans could be, it was Bonnie.<\/p>\n
And nobody would believe what went on between her and Lawrence during their relationship\u2014all the fights about Hannah, all the hurt. Every single time, Lawrence would pull her close, hold her so tight and repeat, again and again, that Hannah was nothing but a sister to him. Bonnie had believed him. She thought Lawrence was above lying. That\u2019s why being dumped hit so hard.<\/p>\n
It hurt more than she could have imagined. For a while, she was so down she didn\u2019t want to keep living. Sometimes she\u2019d just lie on her bed, struggling to breathe, counting the cracks in the ceiling and wishing everything would slow down. At school, classmates stared or whispered behind her back. At night, she scrolled through years of chat screenshots and videos with Lawrence, reading their old conversations over and over until her eyes stung.<\/p>\n
Her family criticized her, disappointed and angry. Strangers online sent her hateful messages. And then there was the ache of confusion, trying to understand why Lawrence left.<\/p>\n
Bonnie just drifted through her days, numb and empty. That state lasted a month, maybe longer. Maybe a year. Who could say?<\/p>\n
After three hard years, Bonnie got into The Cabinda University. She didn\u2019t get her first-choice degree, but architecture was still a good program.<\/p>\n
At university, guys tried to get her attention all the time. She ignored them, went to class, minded her own business. Sometimes, her roommates would talk about Lawrence. Apparently, every pretty girl on campus had tried to date him and failed.<\/p>\n
There were rumors online, too. People thought he already liked someone\u2014Hannah, the Lane family\u2019s adopted daughter. She was famous for ballet, a prodigy who joined the National Ballet Company at eighteen. Supposedly, she was the love of his life.<\/p>\n
Bonnie believed it at first. But then Lawrence started chasing her, not quietly, but in a way everyone could see. He was relentless. It was a whirlwind and the whole campus knew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-674","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
