*Adele's POV*

"I...um." I stammered.

"No, no, I shouldn't have do that." said Seth with a really awkward smile, rubbing his neck. "I don't want you to feel like I'm not respecting you or something. Because I do, I really, it's just...I don't know why I did that." he blurted.

"It's fine, I'm just..." I sighed. "I'm not ready for a relationship right now."

"I understand." he smiled calmly. "Let's forget it."

"Okay." I returned the smile, but I felt terrible inside. He was such a nice guy, but I couldn't to this to him, or myself.

"Shall we go and find them?" he asked, referring to Megan and Ben.

"I actually think I'll just hail a cab." I nervously bit my lip. "I need to ventilate my mind."

"Okay, do you want company or...?"

"No, I'll be fine." I shook my head. "Thanks." I stepped forward to hug him. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Adele." he returned the embrace and planted a peck on my forehead.

I turned away, not looking back at him. I felt uncomfortable. "Why I do these stupid shits all the time?!"
I started walking under the moonlight and the slight street lighting. There were more people on that street by now. I didn't wanted to check the time, fearing that a ton of missed calls from Jimmy could wait for me, and I could not bear with that right now.

Although I had to admit, I had a great time tonight, just as I planned. It could've been better and less awkward at the end, but I'll blame Megan for that. She was the one who just stood up and left me there for a humpty-hump.

I laughed at the thought. I noticed that my little sleeveless garment wasn't enough for this late at night, cause I started shuddering for a sudden wind that stroked through my whole body. I didn't know how long have I been walking like an idiot, lost in my thoughts, but the surroundings changed where I was at the moment. My garment wasn't usual attire there as I saw, cause people stared at me, some with disgusted looks, and others with dirty smile on their face. I felt being judged. "Cause I was judged, duh?" I thought.

I sped up my pace, and tilt my head up to look somewhat more confident, although I was scared to death by that time, fearing that anyone could easily rape me or beat me up and I had nothing with myself for self-defense.

"Where am I going anyways?" I said under my breath, checking the area again.

I saw less and less people, and this locality was full of old, shitty apartmenthouses. "That's it, I'm officially lost."
I started having a panic attack, I ran in every alley and road in hope I'd recognize there something, but that was just stupid. I cried my eyes out at that point and sobbed harder and harder. I didn't see any taxis or buses here, so I took out my phone. "Why didn't I do this sooner?"

I immediately dialed Megan's number, and it was beeping. "Thank God."
But for my unfortunate, she declined. My eyes widened, and I wiped away some more tears. I stepped backwards til my back hit a wall and leaned on it. "Calm the fuck down." I commanded. I hit the call button again, and waited. I was surprised and relieved at the same time when she picked up after a long amount of time.

"Oh stop...Ben." I heard Megan's flirty chuckle on the other side of the line.

"Megan?" I sobbed.

"Umm, look girl, I love you and all, but it's not the right time. Call you in the morning." she giggled.

"No, Me-!" and she hung up again.
