The Way She Looks At Me •Freen&Becky•

From People You Know To People You Don't

REBECCA PATRICIA'S POV

I sulked all through the day. Freen isn't wrong. She just didn't have to be so harsh with the truth. She can be a bitch sometimes. How can she say that after having sex with me?

What did I even do wrong? I didn't want to hurt her and so I tried to love her again. I tried to bring back that passion that we had but she just reprimanded me?

I've been cooked up in my room for days now. I barely ate and no one dared to ask me why I'm sulking. It's best to leave Rebecca alone when she's like that.

I came out of my room after days and even without realizing it, I found myself back home to Theodore's.

"Is he in?" I asked the security who affirmed and ushered me in.

I walked all the way to our room before coming to a halt. I didn't know how to bring myself to talk to him. I've hurt him a lot and I don't have any excuse for that.

I stood there for like ten minutes, before finding the courage to knock on the door.

"Yes? come in." I heard him say but I couldn't bring myself to go inside and so I knocked again. After a while, he opened the door.

"Rebecca? Wh.. what are you doing here?" He asked surprised. Seeing him again just made me weak. Especially because Freen's right, I've missed him a lot.

"Hug me please." I whispered faintly, trying not to cry.

"What happened Becca?" He asked.

"Don't ask Theo. Please just hug me." I begged as he drew me into his embrace making me cry again. That's all I've been doing since yesterday, crying.

"It's okay. It's okay Becca, I'm here." He said patting my back, making me cry even more.

"She left, she chose Serena." I cried hugging him back.

We stood there at the door for a while before he led me into the room. He ordered for a warm cup of milk to be brought to me, seen how weak and disoriented I looked.

I sat down on the bed while he pulled a seat close to me before sitting down.

"Your eyes are really swollen. For how long have you been crying?" He asked wiping my tears which just seem to be unlimited.

"Can I ask what happened between you two?" He asked.

I put down the cup on my laps and stared at it, not been able to look at him. "She said it's Serena she loves and not me." I replied.

"You've loved her all this years, and that's how she repaid you? That's cruel." He responded.

I went ahead and explain everything to him, but I didn't tell him the part about me loving him. I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud, maybe I'm still in denial or just too shy to say it to him.

"I should let go now. I've been holding on to yesterday for far too long." I sniffled as I took a sip of the milk again.

"I'm sorry Rebecca, I really am. I'm part of the reason why your heart is aching right now and I'm sorry. If only I didn't try to keep you two apart. Maybe you would have been together. I'm truly sorry." He said.

"No Theo, I should be the one apologizing. I hurt you a lot. You were really good to me but all you got in return was pain."

"There were also good times too Rebecca." He said smiling. "It's a blessing that I had you by my side for three years. Those are the best three years of my life." He added.
