A week after that, I was hanging out with my friends at a Chinese restaurant, when the topic of me and Emmerson came up.
Seth came up with a splendid idea. They said that I should text him if I wanted to find out why he cheated on me, and if Emmerson leaves me on seen, Seth will call him without any explanation and cuss him until he says the truth.
Monroe even said she'll beat Emmerson up, which I want to see. Beating up people is a hobby when she doesn't enjoy being around someone. Alexander heard Monroe's idea and he said he wanted to join in too.
Bug and Jun didn't want to fight or argue with anyone, but they still cussed Emmerson and sent him death treats.
But Belial had the master plan:I invite Emmerson to meet up with me and I flirt with him, then when he's bewitched Belial, Seth, Alexander and Monroe will come out of some bushes and start to question him while holding him down.
I thought that was too intense, because I did not want to traumatize him more than he did to me.
So I just followed Seth's plan. I sent Emmerson two messages saying'Hi, Em. Could we meet up and talk about why you cheated on me? I just want to know why you decided to do the same thing that Allison did to you, to me.'.
A half an hour passes by and all I get is a message from Emmerson telling me to meet up with him alone so we could have talked.
Progress, but not enough. I wasn't pleased about the fact that Emmerson didn't even apologize.
So I applied Belial's plan.
'See you in ten at the Chinese restaurant we always went at, ;).', I texted Emmerson.
He liked my message.
All of my friends went to hide at the back of the restaurant, and I uses Seth's mirror to freshen up the makeup I had on that day.
When Emmerson got to the destination, I sat him up and asked him some questions.
'Why did you leave me?'.
'Who was that girl?'.
'Why right next to the cafe Alexander works at? How stupid are you?'.
Emmerson glanced at me like I was a toy and not a actual person, and responded only to the second question.
'She was a friend of Allison's, and she's not the only one.
I have to go to the bathroom, excuse me.', he said holding back what seemed to be tears of frustration rather than regret.
I quickly went to my friends and told them what happened, but they said they already knew because Monroe slipped her phone in my jacket's pocket and recorded everything.
Belial was excited to hear how I felt, because he knew how I portrayed things, so I still told him what happened. A few minutes go by, so I go into the bathroom.
It was closed. The men's bathroom and the women's bathroom was closed.
I couldn't believe it.
My mind froze and I crawled up into a ball while being on the dirty floors of the hallway that led to the bathrooms. Belial was worried about me, so he came to the rescue.
When he saw me like that, he started crying.
I got up out of pity and gave him a warm embrace and a kiss on the forehead.
I was apologetic of scaring him.
'I'm sorry for scaring you, I'm okay, he just left without any explanation!', I exclaimed while holding back tears of pity. I couldn't look at Belial crying without feeling the need to shed some tears too.
I was crying because he was crying.
I was happy because he was happy.
I felt alive because he made me feel alive.
After that moment I realized I was done with Emmerson.
When I told my friends, they were pleased with how I've grown as a person.

Author's note:
Sometimes letting go is better than revenge.
Let karma do what it needs to do.
From now on we'll be focusing more on getting Belial rather than getting Emmerson to apologize and explain some things that even his mind couldn't comprehend.
