New Chapter! Enjoy :)
CHAPTER 5- BEST AND WORST
"You should've said no."
"What can I do, I already agreed. Past is past, we can't do anything to change it."
"Exactly. Past is past, but you're still not over her. She did hurt you before and you're letting her do it again."
"Don't judge her, she's not like that. Besides, what happened before, it was all my fault."
"You said it like it's nothing to you. How long have you been crying in your room? How long have you been drinking to make the pain go away? How long have you been sleeping around with random girls to forget everything about her. How long have you been hurting?"
"Six months."
"Six fucking months, River! I thought you learned your lesson but guess I was wrong! Who's there with you the whole hell six months? Cleaning your puke everytime you went home drunk in our apartment, listening to your girly rants everytime you saw the 'happy couple' flirting in the hallway, buying you a dozens of hershey's whenever you're mad because you said that 'eating chocolates soothes my nerves' and all that crap! Fucking tell me who that person was!"
"It's you, Nathaniel." I said heaving a sigh, he's right, though.
He's been with me through my ups and downs, he's been with me throughout the whole drama. He's been with me pranking Mrs. Bhentaut, my neighbor who happened to enjoy singing everynight while her neighbors are sleeping soundly with her horrible high pitch voice. He's been with me when I failed math, we both failed math by the way. He's really a good guy, that's why we became bestfriends.
He's always there whenever I need a friend. He gives me the best advice.
Nathaniel flew here all the way from Manhattan where we both live the moment I called him and told him everything happened to my encounter with Chloe- my first girlfriend. The girl who broke my heart into tiny million pieces.
The reason why I'm here in the first place is to forget everything about her, to stay away from her shadow, from her presence. But she's the one that keeps coming back in my life.
"Cancel your meeting with Chloe. You will never forget her if you spend time with her."
You see, the last time I saw her at the cafè where Michelle works, she asked me to be a model of her new collection of men's wear.
And I said yes.
Chloe took Fashion Design, and currently working with her mother in a very well-known clothing company. Her father, on the other hand, is a business tycoon, he owns a hundreds of five-star hotels round the world. Her family is loaded, but we're richer than her. I'm not bragging, though.
"River, I have one question for you." His words brings me back to the real world.
"Do you still love Chloe?"
I wasn't surprised by this, I knew it. He will keep on bugging me this question so why not tell him the truth, right?
"Yes." Was my only response, looking him right in the eye with all the seriousness I have.
He eyed me curiously, scrutinizing my face as if waiting for me to tell the punch line like 'hahaha fooled ya', but nothing escaped my mouth.
"Really, River? You still love that girl after everything she's done to you. She left you with nothing but pain, she left you to be with James, our friend, and you're saying that you still have feelings for her!? Don't be stupid!" Nate said, rather yelled. He's taking this whole situation seriously.
Because he's looking out for you, smarty pants.
I thought you're gone?
I never left you, idiot! I just let you decide what you think is right the last time, and guess what, you're doing it all wrong. Again.
Loving someone is not wrong.
Loving her is wrong.
What do you know about love?
You're not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you? Loving will just hurt you, look at what it did to you.
The arguments I'm having with my inner me fades as I felt a hard slap in the back of my head. Is that what you called bacon? I'm not sure but what I'm sure about is the red mark that's about to show later.
I glared at my bestfriend.
"What the hell dude? Why are you guys enjoy hitting me? Last time I got smacked by Michelle right in the face, and now from you! I'm not a walking punching bag, and you're obviously not Pacman!" I asked, feeling the pain.
"There! I finally got your attention. You do know that Chloe and James are still together, right? How could you still love someone like her? After seeing her all fine, like nothing happened between you two. And you, you've been miserable."
"I can't hate her. Can you believe it?! She hurt me, she left me, and yesterday she acted like we never happened, like everything happened between us was all a lie! How could she still smile, laugh and joke around? Seeing her like that proves me that she never really cared about me." I let all my anger flows out my mouth, I couldn't take it anymore.
Chloe and I spent two wonderful years together. We're so inlove that time, we're inseparable, I was addicted to her. Being with Chloe was all rainbows and unicorns.
And now it was all gone.
She's the best and worst thing that ever happened to me. But why I still love her?
