Just take a deep inhale, then exhale...
You got this, Rosalie.
Just go in there, grab your phone, and go home.
It's as easy as that.
...
"Miss, you are not allowed to enter at this time." The security stops me at the gates.
"Excuse me, I- I forgot my stuff in there." I stutter, pointing my finger towards the building.
"Miss, can you show us your ID?" He asks.
"Oh, I..."
ID?
Wait- where did I even leave my ID?
No way, I forgot it too?
"I- I'm sorry but I... I didn't bring it with me..." I clench my lips thin.
"Then sorry, we couldn't help you miss." He shakes his head.
"Okay..." I smile awkwardly before turning around and sorrowfully walking away, just straightforwardly accepting it as it is.
A moment later
Without paying much attention to where I'm going, I find myself coming across some lake mindlessly.
And instead of freaking out like what I usually do when I get lost.
I just unflappably go find a bench and sit down to relax my tired feet, gazing further into the gentle swirls of water.
There has been a weight in my chest ever since I lashed out at him and ran away. It's heavy and unnerving, like a tight knot I can't undo.
It makes me hard to breathe, my whole body burning and feeling restless, my heart racing even though I'm trying to relax on this bench.
I can't disregard it, regardless of my efforts. It persists, tangible and overwhelming, poised to drown me in a flood of negativity.
I don't want to think about it, as the memory-anything about him just makes my chest and throat tighten.
But I can't help it. I can't silence my overactive mind, not after everything is still so fresh...
Just...
Why?
How could he...
I thought we had something...
I'm...
Although I'm still immensely confused about our interactions, there are some moments that we...
Were really close... Weren't we?
When he... He showed that he cares about me...
I mean, he didn't have to pick me up, drive me to patch up my leg, nor did he have to make such a... Bloody mess at that bar I only worked at for like 5 minutes... Much less buy me stuff, take me to the prom as my date along with Catalina because I asked him to...
And then, that first kiss, the one that followed his catch after I tripped while running away from Keith and fell into his arms.
He was the one who started it, not only sweeping me away in the moment, but also initiating... Us...
It was unexpected, memorable and intense...
I wonder why he did that. I have asked him why at his mansion, when we were just strangers back then, but he really didn't answer me.
