Happily Never After

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

CHAPTER 16

          NICOLE:

          It hurts, it hurts so badly. Seeing the person you like kissed your friend – yes, I like him. I like Richard Sy. Believe it or not but I’ve fallen for him. And then what? You see your friend kissing him? And he even looked like he liked it!

          It fucking hurts! I should’ve known that there was something going on between the two of them. Fuck it! Fuck it! Fuck it! I swear I will not fall in love with somebody ever again!

          Fuck this.

          Fuck love.

          Fuck life.

          I was in an unrecognized place which I don’t know where my feet lead me. As I continue raving to the world, it started to rain. Have I angered the Gods? I shook my head and sat down on one of the benches. I think I’m in a park. The sky turned gray as rain pours heavily while I drown myself in tears. My mascara smudged on my face through my eyeglasses, my lipstick not as red as before. I just leave it like that. I don’t care about anything and anyone right now. I just wish the floor would just swallow me at this moment, at this time.

          I felt something vibrate in my purse. It was my phone and guess who called? Richard.

          “I’m not in the mood for your bullshit!” I yelled at the screen of my phone, then roughly pressed the ‘end’ button.

          Moments later, I felt my body numb, shivering because of hypothermia. I wasn’t able to move, my head hurts as fuck and I was too tired to move. I was starting to lose all my energy, I tried to reach out my phone but before that I felt someone carry me. My vision became blurry, my voice was too dry to scream. I heard him sighed and whispered.

          “Don’t worry, I’ll always be here.” And then everything went black.
