The eyes, Chico, they never lie.

CHAPTER 18: Succesful

I got up from the floor and walked towards the door and held it open to get them inside.
My eyes were red and puffed because of the crying session I attended a few minutes ago.

Kat hugged me tightly and held my wrist to make me walk to the couch and sat beside me. Alex and Matt followed us too.

After we settled on the couch she held my hand in hers "Please don't cry Ma Chérie, Ash won't be happy if he finds out we aren't taking proper care of you."

I looked up to face her "So y'all were aware that he  moved abroad leaving everything behind? How can he be so selfish?"

Their eyes furrowed.

"He is doing all this for you, Yuri."

"Bullshit!" I muttered.
"Does he love me or something? No, right? Then why he always says he has his own reasons?"

Deep down in my heart I wish he loved me, because I have started feeling something towards him. The feeling of making love with him. A home where we live a happy and healthy life together. I don't know when this happened but when I realised it, Ash got away from me. Damn! It hurts.

"When he feels like he is ready to share it with you and his presence won't hurt you, he'll definitely tell you." Matt said.

"Do you have any idea where he has gone?" I  asked ignoring whatever lame explanations they were giving me.

They all shooked their heads in denial.

"He didn't tell us anything about where he is going, and what will he do there. He only told us to look after you." Alex said to me.

I looked down at the floor, my heart was thumping heavily. Everytime it was reminding me that he left me. He broke his promise. I got up from my seat, my face turned red like a tomato but this time it was because of the rage that was running in my veins. "Tell him to fuck off! Tell him I hate him! Tell him to stop caring about me! And most importantly tell him to never ever come back in my life! I was alive before I met him and I'll be alive after he left me too. I don't want any of you to talk about him with me nor in my presence. He shouldn't be a topic to discuss anymore." After saying this I moved inside my bedroom and slammed the door.

I sobbed as soon as I entered the room. I hopped on my bed  and I don't know when I dozed off.

5 years later...
Los Angeles, California.

*Camera clicking*
"Ma'am please tell us when will your next book publish?" One of the reporters shouted from the crowd while I walked towards my car.

"Ma'am please tell your fans, they are eagerly waiting."

I turned around when I reached my car's door.
"It will take some time. I was busy for a few days so I don't think it will be published soon." I said to the paparazzi with a small smile.

I have become one of the best sellers of Los Angeles, California. My studies completed two years ago and I moved here because I was receiving many invitations from very well known companies and I worked at one of them for a  few months but me being me then I decided to establish my own empire! It has been 5 years and I never heard anything about him. I feel rage whenever I think about him. The betrayal hits me every time.
Luckily my friends too never talk about him since the day he wrote me the fucking letter that he has left for abroad and my friends came to look after me.

Even though nobody talks about him still I feel he is on my mind every time. Our each and every moment starts flashing in front of my eyes. I have panic attacks too since these years. I see various types of nightmares even though nobody knows about it except Katherine. And as my subject stream was Literature and Journalism, I decided to dive deeper into it. It was my dream to become a successful writer and here I am. One of the most successful writer of the country.
