50 - The Finale

I woke up in my bed. Like normal. But today wasn't a normal day. Today, I'm picking which boy I'm going to be with. There is no going back from this.

My mind wasn't scrambled like I thought it was going to be. There were actually no thoughts at all. The only thought going through my brain was, 'My collage back in America probably hates me' since I never went since I got thrown into this mess.

I paced my room, wondering who the fuck I'm going to choose. And even if I did know who to pick, how would I tell the others?

My phone buzzed and like a cat I leaped to my nightstand and grabbed it. It was a text from Tom. I wrinkled up my nose bridge. "Good luck" I stared at the text and felt tears gloss my eyes. I rubbed my mouth with my free hand and then started to text Tommy.

Bitch (Tom Nook)

Good luck

Thanks? I don't know what it's for

Don't play dumb
I know you have to make a decision
Please don't break any of their hearts too badly

I'll try not to

I sighed and dropped my phone on my bed. I looked around the room and scratched the back of my neck. Has this room always been this small? Why am I so sweaty all of a sudden? I shook my head and started to pace the floor again.

Stop. Cause why'd they all have to make me feel this way? God, they are actual jerks. They just don't know the position I'm in right now.

I stared back at my phone and decided to ask someone for help. Someone without a bias opinion. James.

TIME SKIP

James and I stood on the doc, staring at the waves. "Well, who is your top two?" he asked me, He was leaning on the rails on his elbows. I shook my head, "Which ones a Capricorn?" "Oh, fuck that! Don't do that astrology bullshit!" James and I laughed and it soon died down.

A lump formed in my throat and I swallowed, hoping it would go away, it didn't. I sighed and turned around and leaned on the rail that way. The wind was comforting but still cold enough to make me shiver.

"Hey, James?" "Yeah?" I looked over at him, "What are they like when I'm not around?" I asked. He laughed, "They're all truly in love with you if that's what you're asking. To be honest, I bet with your smile, you could knock the wind out of their breath." He said, not looking away from the water. "You're bad at talking to me about picking a bachelor" I said. He shrugged, "It's true."

Silence overtook us again. The wind was music to my ears with the background of the waves. The occasional seagull making a noise as it flew overhead helped the symphony continue.

"What are you thinking about?" James asked me. "Nothing." I replied, taking a deep breath. "Well, you should start thinking." I glared daggers at him. "What? Don't give me that face!" He exclaimed, pointing at my pouty lip. I laughed, "You ruined my calming moment!" I defended my pouty face.

He rolled his eyes, "Whatever. The next time you want a calming moment ruined, call me." "Will do, James."

We stared at the water and I had the urge to throw up. I didn't but, it got bad to the point where James had to guide me to the nearest public restroom so I could let it all out. I didn't eat anything yet so; it was all stomach acid and by God did it hurt.

I walked out of the restroom and James and I decided to get food for my completely empty stomach. We went to James's favorite coffee shop where I ordered plates of pastries while James just got his usual coffee from that place.
