Becky:

She scoffs. " Bullsh*t "

I raise an eyebrow. " Language in my office "

She rolls her eyes and proceeds to flip through a gossip magazine.

-"Check this out. Some girl attempted suicide because her boyfriend of 6 years left without saying goodbye"

Meet Molly, my assistant since a few months ago, and my best friend for 5 years. We met in college, and she was the first one who approached me. After the turmoil that I was going through back then, I needed a friend, and she was just that. Eventually, it was only natural for me to hire her as my shadow assistant while I train myself to take over my dad's seat in the company. 

-" Tragic. Can we focus on work now?" I sigh. 

She discards the magazine on the glassy table and plops herself on the fancy sofa before she grimaces, grumbling...  

-" You look awful for someone who has been in love "

I tao" I told you to never bring that up !"

-" Fine. Only if you tell me the whole story"

I have sworn to myself to never bring back that chapter of my life. It was a past I have put in a box, locked, and threw away for eternity. Though one night, apparently, because of some silly drunk mistake, I have rambled on that past to her and I told her about-

I lock my eyes with hers, face stern, tone firm. 

-" She is dead to me"

[ 8 YEARS AGO ]

The day has come.

A week passed by so quickly as if it was only a blink of an eye, and no matter how much I dreaded it, today was the day I keep my promise too. 

I couldn't do it. 

I was set to make her reconsider. Whatever she was doing this for, I was set on making her let me be part of it. Suddenly, I jolt up feeling something vibrate in my pocket. I beam when I read who it was from; Did I mention that the mysterious girl from the forum and I stayed in touch? 

'Don't let her go' 

Seen 

*typing...* 'I wish I fell for you instead.'

I purse my lips, and the bus halts with an ear screeching sound, throwing the other passengers and I off balance, and before you start wondering how the daughter of a conglomerate family ended up taking the public bus, I have the pleasure to announce that Mr Jones has successfully confiscated my car keys after my reckless driving incidents; I really couldn't drive. Ironically, Sonya thought so too.

Where is the surprise? 

Our last date was in a spot behind a stacked bookshelf at the back of the public library; only her could make me take the bus to an enclosed yard with stacked books and the old smell of dust. I've never seen libraries as a calm place. I was a blazing flame; and this thick layer of silence taming the air was doing nothing but nurture the fire inside me. Besides, despite the windows giving off a large view of the outside, it was though I was put and locked inside a box. My heart, on the other hand, was fluttering like a little girl in front of a candy shop, and my head was swarming of thoughts of her.. 

Eventually, I must have fell asleep. 

-" Student! Student! "A distant feminine voice was yelling at the distance. 

[ BACK TO PRESENT ]

-"Holy Guacamole" 

I wince when I bump my head on the car roof with a noisy thud. Seeing my expression, Molly chuckles before goofily rubbing my back, awakening my senses 

-"Hm now I'm craving that.. "She snickers, " Hun, You're home" .

Home.

Ever since my dad fell ill 7 years ago, my mother became the new "face" of the Jones family. With my brother fleeing away, she has been feeding him, nursing him, and supporting me in any way until I could stand on my feet to inherit his seat for all these years. It was rather twisted; I still remember how whenever dismissed me when talking about business with my brother, I felt angry and left out. Now that I was his only option, and he was in what the doctors deemed his death bed, I was not feeling it anymore; Would you believe it if I said that I wanted to major in music instead? 

At this point, my life merely snowballed until I was 26 years old.

-" I'm home "my voice was meak, worn out. 

The housekeeper takes off my coat and my suitcase before I slip into my cozy, fancy slippers. Upstais, I marvel -again- at my bedroom; 2 living rooms space worth. If we add the shower, it would be half the space of a regular apartment. To say that we were rich would be an understatement. Though, to say we were disgustingly wealthy would be somewhat accurate.

I slip into the hot stream of the shower, and I let my body settle into the wet, slow, and soothing warmth of the running water. Moments later, I summon my bathrobe before I get out with my dark brown hair still dripping with droplets of water, a body steaming with heat; Showers were heavenly. 

My phone chimes from the nightstand. 

Mysterious girl from the forum:

Hey handsome'
'Done showering yet?'
