"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The crowd went wild. Placards and banners go swaying barely unsynchronized. Ear-damaging cheers covered the whole parking place upon seeing Ken Clarkson walking gracefully towards his van, the world's newest and hottest showbiz actor in town.

His auburn soft hair kissed the gentle roars of wind. His long suave lashes, his sweet smile with a perfect set of teeth, his blue eyes that will set you off to another world. "I miss him," she thought.

"Thank you everyone for supporting my new movie. I love you all!" and he bid a little wave with his ravishing smile before entering the management's van.

She once dreamt of being a star with him. They once dreamt of several things together but now, all she can do is to see him from afar and support him at his milestones without his knowledge from the darkest corner he won't ever notice.

"Now I'm thinking stuffs again." She shook her head to clear her thoughts. "This is not the best time to reminisce "silly" heartaches." A faint smile then painted in her face.

She hurriedly made her way out of the parking lot. "I have lots of schedules on my bucket list."

As soon as she made her way out of that suffocating place, she glanced to see around.

A nearby park caught her attention. She crossed the street and went near the railings of the park facing the beautiful sunset. She closed her eyes. "Hmmmm." The cold breeze blew her hair, the orange light specs glowed on her face. The smell of the sea and the joyous laughs and talks around her. It was a very serene moment indeed. Somehow, it give her peace from her agonizing despair. But soon, her "peace" was shattered, like how a glass breaks.

"K-ken... Let's break up.." Her stuttering voice, the jerking knees, the twitching hands, are all coming back to her.

"B-but why?" His pained bewildered face, his brows meeting each other, bemused... His shocked face, his eyes dazed saying she is not serious as he thought... She can't never forget.

"I-I'm sorry."

She ran as fast as she can away from him, away from anybody. He called out her name but she didn't dare to look back. "I can't back down. Not now... not ever." As soon as she got myself hidden in a pillar, she watched him shouting his pain while her tears are unstoppably flowing down her cheeks. She want to hug him, kiss him, and tell him everything, but she can't and she won't. "This is for the best."

Yes, that was for the best, or so she thought.
