The Fact: I Don't Love You

Chapter 17

Third person POV

You hang up the phone after calling Aaron to say what you have to say. You got the feeling like what you felt, 5 years again, desperate and hopeless. It's not that you are disappointed with your decision, but you felt like that you have no way out or no escape from Aaron.

It's like destiny for you to be near him and obey him all the time even you tried hard to act brave and strong. Aaron is like a nightmare to you, a terrible one which you tried to get out of, but always get pulled back by something which you can't explain.

This time, he used Wendy, your only bestfriend beside Luke or someone you called your only family. You hate it when you have to observe the devastate of her. She doesn't desevered to be like this if it's a nit because of you.

You can't be strong and stubborn in front of that man who can control your life whenever he wants to. You sighed loudly when you think of what he could do to you after this. He is never the type to act nice to people. He is the cruel type and plays dirty tricks fo get what he wants. This man never knows how to let it go.

The next morning, you woke up early or you have to say, you barely got a good sleep from last night. You got up to find a nice suit to wear. Even if you are in the worst situation, at least be beautiful.

It's your motto after becoming a new person or what you tried to be. Anyway, you will meet Aaron Wilson today right? You looked at yourself in the mirror to see the dark circle under your eyes. This look is so terrible. How can you be confident when you meet hin again today?

You took the towel to wash your face after brushing your teeth. Trying to have a bright smile before anything bad could happen. Due to Luke's motto, be happy all the time then luck and happiness will come to you and you guess, Luke never lies.

You came back to your room to do some light touch with your face, but you found out that Wendy was already awake for awhile. You smiled at her to get back a half hearted smile and an awful silence. This is not the thing that you expect, but what can you ask for now?

How can she smile or do what ever you expect. This isn't a good thing though since you know this is the worst Wendy ever. She walks lifeless around the house without intention of doing anything, but doing things out if her habbits like a robot.

Lifeless and helpless, this is exactly the same feeling that you get 5 years ago and you know that she just needs some time for herself. She won't try to kill herself because she still has another life inside her.

You slowly approach the door before informing that you will go out today for the job interview again which was a big big lie to her. You opened the door to go and found a big shadow in front of you, it's Jake.

He looks terrible just like your bestfriend with big eyes pack under his eyes which shows us clearly that he doesn't get much sleep lately. He stared at the shadow behind you and then you notice that he was staring at your bestfriend. The couple kept staring at each other for a long moment before Jake stepped inside the house and approached Wendy.

They both didn't need to say anything but you can see the longing in their eyes until Jake hugged Wendy tightly in his arms and your bestfriend started crying a river like telling her lover what she felt.

Jake is still Jake, he doean't talk much, but using his action to comfort her instead of flying words. You looked at the couple and felt relieved somehow when you can see that they are still quite normal. At least, they always get that lovely dovey feeling toward each other. Jake kept hugging Wendy while he sighed loudly because of relief before he turned to you and said:

"I will take care of Wendy. You should go and meet him now. Kathy, I really appriciate your help." You listened to Jake's words and relized that you have been standing still on your spot and admiring the couple like a funny teenager watching a drama and forget what you need to do. You need to settle things down with Aaron.
