Chapter 5: Fairytales and happily ever after

Tears were always my companion in my downfall and illusion is what I have during unusual day’s way back after I discovered my best friend left behind my back. No farewell. No goodbyes. No see you again. Just part ways…

I decided to walk back in the park for a while. It was not that crowded in fact the playground was empty. At this late hour, the kids in the town were probably in their rooms reading bedtime stories. Fairytales of ‘happily ever after’ that does not really exist. I sat on one of the swings and rest my head on the steel pole supporting it. It was painful to think those days that I’m actually left behind by someone who promised that would not leave you. Harry Edward Styles. Everything may not be this complicated if he returned normal as what he was before he left this town. But, that is out of the situation right now. He is a member of the most famous boy band in the world.

“Jnel…” I turned my face and Harry was standing beside me. He was panting as if he just finished taking five laps in track field.

“What are you doing here?” I asked shifting my eyes on the ground.

“I searched for you. Lou told me you ran away.” He said still catching his breath before sitting down on the swing right beside me.

“Just in case you and your mates forgot, I live here and there’s no point of saying I ran away when I’m just walking around.” I said sarcastically. He seems to notice the annoyance in my voice. His hands reached my arms when I stand up.

“Don’t leave please.” He pleaded. I looked into his eyes and feel sorry for him. But, I remembered the day he left me. I shoved his hands on me and take a step back.

“Did you stay when I plead?” I could tell he was taken aback by my question, “Oh I forgot. You didn’t give me a chance to do it because you decided to leave behind my back!” My voice a little bit louder than the usual.

“I-I’m sorry.” He sounds gruffly. I pay no attention to his apologies, it’s all useless.

“It’s too late for that.” I left before he could stop me. Tears rolled down my face the moment I stepped out of the playground. It’s better to keep my distance from him. I don’t want to hurt anymore.

The alarm clock on my bedside table rang for the eight times, and for this the eighth time I’m going to shut it off again. I rolled on my bed and keep my legs tangled on the soft quilt. Waking early in the morning is one thing I hate about going to school.

“Jnel…wake up.” Mom called out and gave a knock on my door before going downstairs. The sound of her loud footsteps on the stairs woke me up. After braiding my hair, I went downstairs to the kitchen where I saw Dad drinking his coffee while reading today’s broadsheet.

“Good morning Dad.” I said before sitting on the chair next to him. He put down the newspaper and smiles at me.

“How’s your sleep?” he asked while he put some bacon on my plate.

“Just fine.”

Mom entered the kitchen with two bottles of milk on her hands. She put it on the table and joined us for breakfast. We eat in silence.

“You went home late.” Mom speaks up breaking the silence. After leaving the playground, I stayed in the foot bridge in the lake. It was not that far from our house but I ended crying for two hours there before going home.

“I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.” I apologized. Dad remained silent and just watched us.

“It wouldn’t happen anymore because you are grounded.” She said firmly. I was speechless. Just as I thought that everything was worse, it became worst.

“But, it was my first time breaking my curfew.” I protested.

“That first time will become frequent if we don’t put actions on it.” She pointed out. “We already talked about it.” So, Dad knew it all along.

“How long will it take?” I asked.

“As long as you live with us.” She answered in triumph.

“No way!” I exclaimed. Dad looked at me and breaks the heated conversation between me and Mom.

“Jnel you could go out… if and only if Harry will be with you. In that case, we are assured that you are safe.” My eyes narrowed upon hearing the consequences. I rather accept the punishment forever than to be with Harry. Didn’t they know how that guy changed the life of their daughter? As if they care about me.

“Perfect, I rather take the idea of dying inside this house due to boredom than to be with that guy.” I stated before dashing out the kitchen to the front door. The temper I was holding just blew off.

I reached the school just before the bell rings. The hallway was too crowded with students rushing to their class. I passed right through the bunch of sophomores staring at the bulletin board. Just when Julia called my attention “JNEL!!!” she came out of the crowd reaching for my hands and pushing me towards the bulletin board. My mouth fell when I saw the post. It was my face. I mean the whole bulletin board was plastered with my pictures like a collage.
