Second Chance | Book 2

Chap. 46 Best Friends

Zena POV

One year later

I sat on a bench a bit far from the mansion needing to be alone for a moment. The party could still be seen clearly from me on the backyard.

This backyard is so damn big that almost three whole football fields could fit in here. It was beautiful though. Everything was taken care of.

The trees, flowers, the grass and the pond looked beautiful. I often take a walk here when I need to clear my mind.

The music could still be heard but not as loud from where I am sitting. I felt exhausted and kinda lonely.

I know that these people love me, and I love them, and that they'd do anything for me and be there for me when needed. I'm not lonely in that way because I have them. I have a family.

But I often feel lonely when I look at them with their partners. I wish I had what they have with someone special.

I often think about when me and Jimin got married. And it does hurt sometimes. I once loved him. A lot. But now my feelings starts to fade slightly over him.

I watch as they sway to the slow music on the dance floor and smile slightly as I see Y/n laugh to something that Jimin said. A few feet away Lisa was dancing with her now husband, Lucas, wearing a beautiful white dress.

From the crowd I see a figure walking in my direction. I quickly wipe my tears and take a sip from my drink before composing myself. It took him a minute until he reached me.

"There you are, pretty lady." He said once he finally reached me.

I smiled a little at him.

He took a seat next to me with his glass of some liquid in. I watched him. He looked quite handsome tonight.

"I've searched everywhere for you. What are you doing out here all alone in the darkness?"

"Just wanted to clear my head. What are you doing here? Why aren't you at the party?" I asked him as I had my eyes at the house where people were partying.

"The same reason you are..."

I turned my head to look at him finding him already looking at me.

We then sat there in silence under the big tree. A lamp post was several feet away so people from the house couldn't see us. Only our shadow and figures.

After several minutes passed in silence he finally cleared his throat and spoke.

"How are you feeling? And don't just tell me you're fine. Tell me how you really feel."

I took a deep breath thinking for a few seconds. "I...I don't know... I'm not even sure how I'm feeling."

"Are you happy?" He asked me making me turn my head to look at him.

"What?"

"Are you happy?"

"Yeah...I'm happy. I have a lovely family and friends. I wouldn't wish for anything else..."

"But you're still thinking of Jimin?" He sighed running his hand over his face.

I was quiet. He was right. Even if it wasn't as much as I used to, I still think about Jimin sometimes.

"I think my feelings for him are starting to fade... I don't think about was often as I used to......and...it doesn't hurt to see them together anymore. I'm happy for them."

"If Jimin isn't the one occupying your mind then why did you come here to sit alone? I thought you got away from the party because you couldn't handle seeing them together." He said taking a sip from his glass.
