Because Of Her.

35 | Mr. Perfectly Fine.

I call Selena as soon as I leave the alley and ask her to meet at Washington Park. Although I have left that alley physically where I heard the disturbing thing yet my mind hasn't left at all. Natalie and Liam talk and how they scheme on me is all I could think off. I can't believe at one point I think of her as my friend not to mention I trusted her with everything, with my art works and all. She was reliable back then well she was pretending but still she played along so well that I couldn't even realize even till the end what really happened. For me she was a little too mean and used to think high of herself but she never harmed someone so I let that go. I let that go to the point that I didn't see the harm she was doing little by little on me until it was too late to protect myself.

Although her betrayal in the form of badmouthing and addressing my art work as the stolen piece of someone or that I made it through someone was something I know I will overcome from but I never knew I would be facing this day. The day she physically going to harm something so precious to me, something that Alan and I put our hundred percent on. It wasn't just about the ruined painting but also how a person can be so into their head to get satisfaction by sabotaging something of others.

Liam helped her, made it easy for her. He did the dirty work of her although I am sure it was off Liam's plan since he already done it before and Natalie just pitched in to make it more fun by getting to sleep with him and like a manwhore he is, he agreed because that's what people like him do.

He is like that person who likes to screw around but when it comes out openly, when someone starts questioning on their character they become defensive and start blaming on people like them. Like he was doing to Natalie. Both are same-only difference is Liam doesn't own up to his mistakes and likes to play innocent which he clearly aren't. He blatantly lies even when the truth is right on the table yet he manipulates to make him the victim of everything wrong going around.

I reach the park and try to clear my thoughts. I bring out my paper and go through it once again. I hope I cover everything if not then I will do it in the bus. The list I made of potential gifts of Audrey is to help me to find the perfect gift I can give to her. I know I am no expert since start I am not good with buying gifts hell I think there are only few around me who is good and Selena is one of them especially when it comes to shop for her. Since Audrey gives me the same vibe as Selena it won't be a problem to find the gift right?

I will tell her to shop as if she is shopping for herself and after she finds that. I will select according to the list. I am good with colors though, to suggest what will look good on others so I can help in that department. Although I am no good at that when it comes to me, I can't choose a single color for me without criticizing it. It's a struggle which is why I need some sort of adviser alongside me who can help me.

I wait for Selena as she is still not here and I hope she hurries up so I can have something other than a constant someone's thoughts occupying in my head. Although going to shopping will be the last resort I will choose to have my mind off from something but there is first time for everything.

"You're late!" I exclaim when I see Selena walking from ahead. She rushes and breathes frequently due to her possible run to get here.

"Sorry."

"We just missed a bus where were you? You didn't even have a class."

"Amy was making this and you know how french braid takes time." I notice her new hairstyle that was open and wavy before but now her golden hair is twisted in a french braid.

"It looks good but what's with the sudden change?"

"We are going shopping." She says in a duh tone and I wait for her to elaborate on the information that I am already aware off.
