"Cathy wake up!", I hear Min Ho say from the depths of my sleep. "Your Mom, she asked me to wake you. You've been sleeping a lot lately Cathy, is it 'cause of HIM?" I jump up at the mention of his name (well she did'nt really mention his name but she referred to him).
"No it's not", I glare at her. "I've just been really tired lately, that's all", I lie. I just want this whole phase to pass. I want to forget all about Damon and the 'breakup'. I get up from my bed and search for my flip flops. When I go downstairs to meet my mom, she's on the phone. She's been talking with this unknown person a lot for the past two weeks, I shrug mentally and wait for her to be done with her phone call. When she's done, she asks me to go do the laundry. "You could have just told Min Ho to tell me", I mumble so that she does not her me.
After doing the laundry, I check my phone for messages. I see some from Ana and other friends. I scroll down my inbox and see one from HIM, Damon James, the boy I thought I loved and also the boy I thought loved me back.
Damon: What did you tell Min Ho?
Me: What? About us?
Damon: Yeah
Me: That we were done?
Damon: Well she attacked me saying all that's happening to you is all my fault and she made me feel really bad. It's normal for you to be sad but... the way she made the whole thing sound...
Me: Yh. Sorry.
Damon: Are you okay?
Me: Yh. I have to go now. Bye.
Damon: Um. Bye.
And with that I drop my phone and slump on my bed. I sigh. Why does he have to make it so hard? I'm trying to get over him but I just can't. I can feel my eyes filling with tears and I let go. I start sobbing uncontrollably, thankful that Min Ho is downstairs, doing something, I don't know.
