"We're just friends," I told him. I don't want him to think that Alessio's my crush. I love him and only him. And to be honest, I don't know if I'm spending my teenage years wisely. I suck. I know that, you don't need to tell me.
"You look good together," he smiled softly.
"Shut up," I snapped. He looked taken aback.
"W-whut?"
"Hmpf," I shook my head. "You see, I have to go back to France."
"WHAT?!" He stood up furiously. People looked at us with weird expressions on their faces.
"Shut up, sit down, and listen to me," I instructed him. Ugh, he's embarrassing himself.
"Miaaaaaaa," he pouted. My heart melted in an instant. He looked so effin' cute.
"I'll miss you. So fucking much," he sniffed.
"Hey! Don't sweaaaar," I frowned.
"Sorry," he apologized.
"I'm sorry too, Jake. I really have to go there because of business matters," I pushed back my tears. I don't want to cry in front of him. Not now.
"When will you go back?" He sipped his coffee. Maybe to calm himself down.
"After 5 years," I stared at him blankly. Gosh, why is this so hard for me?! To act like all of this is nothing? I love Jake so much yet I'm too afraid to even tell it to him. But it feels so wrong to fall in love with him again. I know that I shouldn't be living in the past but, I think it's wrong if I fall in love again with the person who broke my heart when I was a child.
"That long?" he groaned. Should I really give this guy a second chance? I mean, he's right. 5 years is a long time. I'll be spending 5 years in France without Oculus Rift and him.
"I'm really sorry, Jake! I have to. There's nothing that I can do. I'm leaving tomorrow," I looked down at my cappuccino. It's already cool. Eh, I don't think I should finish it.
"Too soon?" I can't take this conversation any longer. It's hurting and confusing me at the same time.
"Yeah. How about we go back to the mansion? They might be looking for us already," I reckoned. I have a heart problem and it might trigger if we continue talking about the matter. I don't want Jake to know that I do have a heart problem because that would make him worry even more.
"Sure. Let's go."
We decided to walk back to the mansion since we didn't bring our wallets with us. And I'll tell you what, this might have been the most awkward walk I've ever done in my life.
"Mia, are you alright? You look kinda sad," he asked.
"No, no. I'm fine. See?" I gave him a sheepish smile.
"Now that's one hell of a smile," he laughed his heart off.
"You shouldn't be laughing at my beautiful face," I huffed.
"OH CRAP!! I HAVE 5 DAYS LEFT BEFORE MY FLIGHT! I BETTER GET READY. LATER, GUYS," I let go of his hand once we reached the mansion. I hurriedly tiptoed across the living room as not to wake the others. Crap. There are so many things I need to do. I'm reckless and clumsy. If I don't pack my things ahead of time, I would surely leave some important things like my phone, makeup, etc. I need to get back to my house right now before I get stuck in a traffic jam.
"Wah! Mia, you didn't tell me about this!" Jake said as he watched me tiptoe towards the staircase.
"I know. I'm sorry!" I panted.
"FLIGHT? WHAT FLIGHT?!" Ree shouted. Huh? How come they heard our conversation? Ugh, I should've told Jake to lower his voice.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL FOOK, MATE," Ven raised her hands up in frustration.
I can hear them reacting violently from up here. I locked my room to make sure that no one will ambush and stop me from readying myself. I sighed. I'm gonna miss them so much. But I have to do this for my own good. Okay, why don't we look at the brighter side of it? I'm going to France, baby! I'll get to see a lot of famous paintings and buy designer clothes. I'll get to see the famous Eiffel Tower too! Oh em geeeeeee.
"MIA GABRIELE PERKINS, OPEN THE FRICKIN' DOOR!!" Someone banged the door a couple of times. Haist, Ven Dixon. As usual.. the violent type.
"No way!! Why would I?" I shouted back.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS?! DON'T YOU LEAVE US, YOU PIECE OF SH-- AAAHHHH! WHAT WAS THAT FOR, YOU NITWIT?!" I heard another bang on the door. But this time, it's louder.
"Oh my gamble! Why are you on the floor, Vladlena? Feeling weak?" Now there goes Jen, the girl who likes to annoy and irritate the Oculus Rift for fun. And her main target is always Ven.
I facepalmed myself. They're so childish. I wonder when will they ever grow up. I closed my bag and walked quietly towards the door to listen to their wild conversations.
"Shut up or I will kill you," Ven hissed.
"Coochie coochie coo! Do you really think you can do that?" the other gal chuckled.
"Yes! Haha!"
"Before you can kill me, I'll gamble all your mothergambling weapons," Jen laughed out loud.
"SHUT UP!!" Ven screeched.
I covered my ears. Ow! That's so not cool.
"Hey, hey, hey! Why don't we drag ourselves downstairs so we can settle this. Ayt?" Another feminine voice said.
"Take Ven instead. I'll keep my cool," Jen said.
"Alrighty!"
"REE!!!! STOP PULLING MY LEGS!! OUCH! MY HEAD!" Ven let out another screech.
Apparently, handling the personalities of those girls is a very difficult job.
