WHEN THEY FALL IN LOVE

CHAPTER 14

today was my first day at my dream university of all time, i entered with hopes held high thinking i would be able to fit in. The castle like structure made me feel like a princess. I asked "may I know the way to the academic advisor's office?"to someone who looked like a senior of mine - a sleek and full swept pompadour haircut , a black button up shirt , whisky eyes ,and a pair of glasses that go well with his dark ash blonde hair. "here to submit ur housing application and apply for classes?" i replied "well, yeah.." "same here!" "my name is Allen Martinez" "Annabeth la Cruz". after a long pause i began "so, law student ?" "nope , MED. well getting into med was easy since this is ranked as the 7th, but as for law its ranked 1st. you must be a genius since you had made it till here." i took a deep breathe thinking about those sleepless nights and depressed morning and the amount of stress i had "nothing is hard for me." we giggled all the way. until, we reached the office room. i opened the door and i saw someone who i had not expected to meet here, not even at 3 a.m "dexter ?" i called still in disbelief "hey anna !" "i did'nt expect seeing you here is Sel with you ?" "we broke up.." tears rolled from his eyes as he said those words, i felt a piercing pain in my chest that dragged me down to sit next to Dexter in the waiting area.Allen went to check with Mrs.Smith's timetable to see when she would be available. "we have to wait for an hour" but i was to disturbed to respond . i ignored Allen and asked Dexter "why? how?" "she said she is the reason my life is ruined. i never told her that , she was the reason i smile her mere existence makes me the happiest man in the whole fvckin world , yet she said this was the reason. i wish i was strong enough to move on but i cant i just cant" "i need seli-" he was cut by a sob that escaped his throat. Allen placed a comforting hand on Dexter"t will be okiii bud" i have no clue is it a bro code or something like, how do you comfort someone you had barely known , they both had a long convo i was too disturbed by theire breakup . i called lucas immediately. 1st ring , the second one , the thir- "hey sweetheart!" "hey C.E.O . i know its so stupid but..." "yes, i will love you if you were a worm, yes i would burn down this world for you, yes i would love you even if you were mute or deaf..oh wait, even if you were mute,deaf and blind." "well, i just missed u a lot" in the background i heard a girl say slowerrr, and Lucas was like "omg shutup!" and the girl was like "didnt u say u missed me screaming ?". lucas, cheating on me i never expected something like that . i mean i half expected us to end this, but i never knew it would be because of Lucs cheating on me . my hands froz, my legs couldnt move lucas was yelling "hello hello " i heard it but i couldnt respond , i couldnt move i was still in disbelief.i saw this coming miles away when i was overthinking but i never knew, he had been cheating on me for a long time. my brain was still processing all those information. i hung up the call and sank myself in the sofa. allen placed his hands on my shoulder and gave me a worrying stare, i hugged him tight and started crying . he ran his hand on my hair careful not to touch my bare back.

LUCAS:

"whats wrong with you you alright?" my cousin Samira Suraj ,the only daughter of Suraj- No. 1 surgeon in south India and Priscilla Caldwell-the only sister my dad has. Samira was also the owner of the Amira {the most popular jewelry company} , she and i grew up together and during that time the only thing she knew was screaming,she screams for every single thing and my grandparents always defend their dear granddaughter. she was often in india and we met each other quite rarely. Samira and i had a deep understanding, i saw her as my own sister rather than my cousin. i wiped my tears , locked my phone "nothing , so far good. whatsup with this sudden visit samira ". "will you beleive if i said it was to check on my lil bro ?" "wish i can." "we are having the Avishkaram launch event . the one i had been working out for the past two years and the collection will be displayed next month, wanna join? " "i am quite busy..." "i will give you VIP" "two and i will attend" "great!its a deal then."

In the launch event i am gonna clear it all up . the picture of a man hugging her, was she cheating on me ? was i not enough? am i the one holding her back? do i not deserve her?this thought were all flushing in my brain. i was so disturbed at work and Samira came the office to check on my dad. we both had lunch together , after a while i noticed seline in the cafeteria i called my assistant and came to know that she had applied for internship, the question here is why would the future heiress of  Elysian groups be here ?  "so, heard ur datting?" samira snaped me back "yeah, i am getting married soon." "well i am older than you and i am still single thats so unfair." "its just 7 months" "i am older than you, period" "i am too young to get married quote-unquote. guess who said that?" "well, my friends , my brothers and every other human being is getting married, why dont i not have a boyfriend yet ?" "skill issues" she started to whine since she cant scream in hear. two things she cant live without : venting and screaming. maybe thats why she has not got a boyfriend yet. "you and ur girl have been noted in the VIPs make use of it" . after chatting , i bid her goodbye and turned back to see "Seline?" "how could you cheat on her?" "i never did , she was the one " i showed her the photo " thats just her friend she was crying because of you and he was comforting her you asshole" "ann said , she herd a girl screaming when she was on a call with you." "for christ's sake , that was my cousin." "seems like a huge misunderstanding , u know what call her out and sort things out." "SEL, wait a minute " i zoomed the photo to where dexter was crying in the corner , she started crying and explained , that her parents were expecting her to marry someone she never wanted to. and that she hid the reason cuz she didnt want him to feel hurt. i lead her to the office and after the chat she left back to work. i mean whats the rush to get her engaged when she was just 18?
