She Used My Face to Catch Her Online Boyfriend, Then I Became His Chapter 19

Kyle had the upper hand, but he wasn’t in great shape either — a few injuries.

Caleb was taken to the hospital.

I stayed behind to tend to Kyle’s wounds.

“I don’t even like him. Why do you care? Now you’re hurt.”

“Sorry, babe.”

He looked down, miserable, a dark bruise on his lip.

“I didn’t know he could be so shameless.”

I thought about the looks on his classmates’ faces.

Caleb’s reputation was probably shot too.

“It’s fine.”

I kissed him.

“We’re not mad.”

Back at the hotel, I showered, dried my hair, and opened Janice’s chat.

“Have you been sending Caleb photos of me this whole time? Tell me everything. I already know.”

She replied hesitantly.

[You found out?]

[He broke up with me the day he arrived. But he told me I had to break you two up and send him photos. Or he’d make me pay him back. Waaaah, I already spent the money.]

[You think I’m having a good time being controlled?]

[You think it’s fun being treated like a pervert?]

[I’m bad with money, okay? But I’m working now. Once I save up enough, I’ll pay him back.]

[All good-looking guys are evil.]

[I’ve been crying nonstop.]

I didn’t feel sorry for her.

You make your own bed.

Just as I was about to reply, a friend request popped up.

Source: shared by “Roommate Janice.”

I’d seen his profile many times before.

I never add strangers — especially not ones Janice recommended.

I hesitated, then clicked accept.

Caleb: [It’s me, Caleb.]

[Brianna, sorry to bother you.]

[I still want to explain.]

[I hope you don’t misunderstand. I’m serious about you. It’s not some shallow love-at-first-sight thing.]

[When you and my cousin broke up, he was really regretful. He kept a room full of your things, but he couldn’t bear to look at them, so he asked me to get rid of them.]

[I sat in that room, going through everything like it was mine. I know you like listening to R&B, pressing leaves into your notebooks, falling asleep to the sound of rain, hate kale…]

[It felt like I was part of your life. I got to know you more and more. I fell for you, piece by piece, detail by detail.]

[Maybe it’s a little twisted.]

[For a while, my cousin really wanted to get back together, but he was too proud. He asked me to give you the letters you two exchanged. I threw away the ones he wrote. I kept yours. Your words are beautiful. I know how precious your feelings are.]

[I just wished you could like me too.]

[First you were my cousin’s girlfriend, then you moved away. We kept missing each other.]

[When I saw you in Kyle’s photos, I knew I couldn’t miss again.]

[Brianna, can you give me a chance?]

Attached photo: a shirtless selfie.

Lean muscles, V-line, pants hanging low.

I thought about it.

How did he know I liked that?
