Vacation

Persephone knocking at Andrew’s dorm

Persephone: you know what we’re done. Goodbye and have fun with your “girls”

Andrew: hey babe! Wait!

Persephone running to her dorm

Many days later

Now I’ve  moved on to Andrew but I'm confused why didn't I cry that day, does it because I already new that he don't love me anymore?.. and I think something is missing and I don’t  know what, who

And when I was walking at the park I saw Him

Persephone: Leonidas?

Leonidas is so shock to see me

Leonidas run to me and hug me

Leonidas: I’m so sorry I rejected you that day, I just don’t know, I don’t understand my feelings for you and I don’t  know what crush or like, love feel that day and now I know what it feels and what is the feeling to be hurt. And all I want to say is I miss you. And I know you have a boyfriend but-

Persephone started crying loud

Leonidas: why are you crying?

Persephone: because I’ve made a wrong decision last year that Andrew and I can date and be together just to forget about you at first but I really regret falling for him(っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ

Leonidas: is that mean you and Andrew are not a couple any more?

Persephone: yes( ˶ ❛ ꁞ ❛ ˶ )
