"i don't know how i feel towards you. okay?" mason sighs, looking over at me sat on the opposite couch. "i've poured my heart out to you, mase. everything i've said to you the past week..i've been so open to you, thinking that you liked me back but some other girl has to ruin this for us?" my head falls into my hand as i blurt out my words. "look, i just need some space" he says, i hear his key rattle from his pocket. i look up to see him standing before me, " i'm leaving." he saw as tears filled my eyes, yet he still left. i hear the door close before breaking down into my own arms. i'd done everything to have him, yet, another being ruins it for us. yet again.
it's the day after, i still felt emptiness inside of me. i decide to go to my local shopping center. not only to do i need to shop for christmas presents, i haven't seen main portsmouth in ages. i've lived there my whole life, so has mason. we've known eachother since secondary. we were never close until year 11, after that we became inseparable. due to his very successful football career, we grew apart. problem after problem kept occurring. we took a break from one another and luckily enough it did help, until last night.
mason and i had always liked eachother. even a stranger could notice it by the way we look at one another. but anytime we would get even remotely close to telling one another the truth, someone or something had to ruin it. this time, it was a person. he'd been talking to this girl on instagram for about a week now. it triggered alarms in my brain to go for it, if not i would've regretted it. i had left it to late, or not shown my true feelings enough.. he had started liking her. knocking the thoughts out of my brain as i leave my house, my warm tracksuit covering my body along with my long beige fluffy coat which rests above my ankle. i enter my car and turn on the engine.
i've finally arrived at gunwharf and enter. around christmas time, it had always been so beautiful. from the lights hanging around each shop, to the spinnaker tower lighting up with a warm white each night. home. it had been a few hours since i arrived and i had brought around 9 presents for not only my friends but my family. i go to the cafe for a coffee break and see mason with 'the girl'. not only was i high key jealous of her, she gave me bad energy. i didn't like her at all. i sit as far as i can from them, but mason still noticed me. he didn't even smile, he just turnt back to his conversation.
i ordered and sat back down on my table. i got onto instagram and decide to stalk the girl who mason had been talking to. quickly, i find her account and start going through the following. mason didn't even follow her, which was strange. i brush it off as my coffee was handed to me by the waiter. i thank him and take a sip before returning to my phone. after thinking to myself for a while, i place my phone back into my pocket and look at them both.
mason wasn't acting his normal self around her. he's normally bubbly, yet he looked so miserable. before i could see, an old man sat before me. not only was i taken by surprise, but the smell which had came off of this man was vile. he coughs loudly before speaking, "you alright my gorgeous darlin'? what you doin' out here alone? want me to walk ya' home?" he brushes his leg against mine under the table and i quickly snatch my leg away. before i could say a word a man walks over.
"i think she's okay with me walking her home mate." mason says, looking at the man in disgust. "whose this young champ, aye? im sure she's okay with ME walking her home, off you go. come here gorgeous." he'd try to put his arm around me. i push him off and mason grabs him by his collar. "try and touch her again and see what fucking happens. now fuck off" he says, angrily. the man was taken by surprise but soon enough leaves the cafe. my heart pounds against my chest, what would've happened if mason wasn't there?
he walks over to me and pulls me into a tight hug. "men these days man" he mumbles as i hug him back tightly, "thank you, mase" he pulls away and nods, "it's okay, no need to say thank you." he pauses before speaking again, "i was thinking about last night, um if you want you can come over later on? we can sort this out for good" i smile at him, "yeah that would be good. why are you here with her though." i ask, looking at her. "company." we both chuckle.
