Crumbled Lies

𝙸𝙸. 𝙵𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚑 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚛𝚝?

"Hazel, are you ready?" Amber shouted from her room. 

"Comingggggg" I replied. I finished doing my makeup and rushed out to get my heels. We were already late, that to on my first day of college. This is how a fresh start looks I suppose. 

Amber handed me the car keys as we rushed downstairs. 

Amber owned a car, but was too scared to drive one. I didn't have a car, but love driving. That's how we work in most of the things.

"Just text me anytime when its an emergency." She mentioned again and again. "I know Amber. Don't worry." I replied.

She waved me goodbye after guiding me to my class.

Fresh start. A chance to forget about the past, and relive my life the way I want to, was given to me as soon as I entered the campus of this university. 

I took a deep breath and entered the class, just to find too many pair of eyes staring at me. 

Now I knew why Amber said I have godly visuals.

I moved to the extreme back of the class, ignoring all the whispers and smiling inside as a sense of victory came over me. 

Although I am an extrovert, I really wanted a quite corner. I really wanted to focus on my studies. And I really really hoped no one sat beside me. I hoped.

It was him again. 

God, why are you tangling Kim Mingyu in my faith? 

I buried myself in my books hoping he wouldn't notice. But as faith has it, he sat beside me. 

"Why me? A lot of seats are empty." I asked

"What why? I only know you here. Birds of a feather flock together I guess?" I scoffed on his reply and he smirked. 

I pretended as if his existence didn't matter to me. It very much did matter to be honest.

That bulky figure just couldn't be ignored. 

"SOS." I texted Amber. "Washroom. Now." She texted back.

I went to the washroom. "Spit." She said as soon as I reached the washroom. 

I told her all the events that happened in the previous week, from start to end.

"Well you should have told me this before." She grumbled.

"How the fuck am I supposed to know that he would land in the same university with the same course as mine?" I replied 

"Fine. Just ignore him for now. I am too engrossed in marketing to think of anything." 

I tilted my head in unsatisfaction and went away. 

"Found a way to get rid of me?" Mingyu asked with his annoying smirk all over him.

"Rid of you? I don't think so I will be able to get rid of you anytime soon." I replied sarcastically.

"You know, if you try and get to know me, you will know that I am nothing like you think I am." He said, as if he was trying to prove his innocence to god knows which crime.

"I am handsome, you are beautiful, people already think we are dating. It's more than perfect." He urged as he took my hand and placed them between his. 

Damn his hands are soft. 

"Kim Mingyu, it's the first day of college. You don't want a bruised face already do you?" I stated as I took my hand out. 

Finally the class got over. I of course didn't bother to tell him that there was a class. I myself skipped the class.

I went out in the garden to empty my head. I wasn't expecting to get this fucked up in the morning. As all the thoughts ran in my head, I got a call, probably the best call I can get.

It was my twin brother, Minghao.

"Haooooo." I said in excitement. 

"Sisssyyyyyy. Guess what." He said and I shrugged.

"The script. For the lead in the movie!!!!" My eyes widened in surprise. 

"The original lead backed out soooooooo I got it!!!" He explained.

I gave a genuine smile for him, but then a thought hit me.

"Hao, he should have been the first person to know about it." I said with a sudden change in my tone

"Hazel, just leave him. It's the past Hazel, the past." He replied

Yes, it was indeed the past, and the best thing for me would be to forget him. But tell me how could I? 

He was too precious to be forgotten. 

"Hazel, look at me. You just got into the best university studying your dream course. I just got the lead for a movie. Its a new beginning, a fresh start of life. Just think that you re-logged in your life. He was there. WAS. Just let it go." He said, holding back his tears too. 

"I love you." I said. "And always will." He replied.

MINGHAO'S POV

I let out a sigh after hanging up. I walked into my house, just to find dad hugging that damn picture again.

"Dad leave it." I stated. 

"I said fucking leave it." I snatched that picture. He wasn't getting any better. 

I wondered why the fuck am I even paying the therapist millions to get him better. 

"Give it back to me. Or else he would start crying." Dad screeched. 

"Dad, he is no more. Fucking accept it already." I shouted and as much this statement caused pain in my heart, I had to be the firm pillar. 

Dad marched towards me with a glass bottle and smashed it right on my arms. It's shocking how I didn't even flinch. 

I commanded the therapist to get hold of him as I stood there, my arm covered with blood. 

"I think so you should get a first aid sir." She said in a hurry.

"I know. Take care of him." I replied

I walked towards the washroom and started cleaning up the blood, but it was not stopping

In fact, I didn't want it to stop. 

I wanted to bleed more.

Before I fall unconscious, I quickly dressed my wound and walked out of this mental asylum called home.
