I Lost 90 Pounds, Only To Find He Tried To Give Me Away Chapter 12

I was walking out of the lecture hall after my evening class when someone called my name.

I turned around. Nolan was standing a few steps back, half in shadow. I couldn’t make out his expression.

I frowned. “What do you want?”

“You really like him that much?” He shoved his hands in his pockets and stepped closer.

I rolled my eyes. “He’s my boyfriend. Obviously I like him. What’s your problem?”

I turned to leave, but he stopped me.

“What if he isn’t the guy you were dating online?”

I went very still. Then I turned back to face him.

“What did you just say?”

“Tessa, the guy you were dating online… that was me. The whole year. I just… I panicked, and I gave you

away. But it was always me.”

The rest came pouring out. “Theo’s been lying to you this whole time. He’s a fraud. You and me. We’re the

ones who should be together.”

“I already know.”

Nolan’s face went blank. “You know? Then why…”

“So why are you telling me this?” I smiled. “What, do you regret it? Do you actually think you have a chance

now?”

“Yes. I like you, Tessa. Before, I just panicked for a second…”

I cut him off.

“You actually have the nerve to stand here and say that.”

“Nolan, you’re delusional.”

“I know I was wrong!” Nolan took a breath and stepped forward, crowding my space.

“Whatever you want me to do to make it right, I’ll do it.”

“But you were in love with me once, Tessa. You can’t pretend you weren’t.”

“You lost all that weight for me. That has to mean something.”

“I am crazy about you now!”

“What do you like about me? This face?”

My voice was flat. “You’re pathetic, Nolan.”

“The guy I fell for never even existed.”

Something cracked behind his eyes.

I held his gaze and made sure every word landed. “And I never will. Get over yourself.”
