Forever Connected - a kentell fanfic

Chapter 9

vester's pov

Paulo, Jah, and I headed over to where Vanessa and her friends were at. We sit down at their table and Vanessa immediately starts introducing her friends to me.

"This is my boyfriend, Caleb. These are my friends, Isabel and Amara, and... Jaxon's probably in the washroom." she says with a soft smile before she speaks again, "Anyways, guys, this is Vester, my friend."

I shake their hands afterwards and they seem glad that I'm here. We all then start eating and chatting a little bit.

"So, Vester, you lived in Japan, right? My girlfriend here told me about it." Caleb, Vanessa's boyfriend asks me. I look up from my food and nod with a smile.

"Yeah, for about 3 years, I think." I reply, making everyone in the table interested in what I have said.

"Ooh~ how was it like? Was there snow? And was the cherry blossoms pretty?" Amara asks in awe, making me laugh softly and nod.

"Oh yeah, definitely. There was quite a lot of snow and the cherry blossoms were to die for!" I start to explain some more stories, seeming to have caught their attention.

I was in the middle of explaining when someone sits down beside Isabel. I look to see who it is and it was my one and only ex, Kenji. I gulp a little as I watch him kiss Isabel's cheek... ah. So she's his new girlfriend.

I feel my heart race and pound against my chest. Envy bubbles up in me seeing his lips brush against her cheek. I clench my fists as the jealousy in me overflows. I clear my throat and explain the last bit before excusing myself to the washroom.

I get up from my seat and walks out of the cafeteria, tears starting to glisten my eyes. I felt jealous, hurt, and pain all at the same time. If I'm honest, I'm truly happy for them, but I just wished I was Isabel. I wish I was the one in his arms, receiving all his kisses, hearing his laughter, seeing his smile. I wish I was that person.

Why'd I leave him? Why am I so stupid...?
