Tears Stole The Heart

Chapter 4- Heartbroken, stil.

After we finished eating, we head for the city skyline, actually that was Daniel's idea, an awesome excuse and also an awesome idea in case those bastards are still rampaging through her house. We sat at a cliff near the sea, where you could see the city skyline and stars twinkling above you.
While Daniel and Jin Wei went to grab us some starbucks, I sat down with Jason and Piper.
Actually many people sit on this cliff near the sea, its located outside a mall, connected to a bridge, so many youngsters, and couples come here to enjoy the city skyline while falling asleep in each others arms.
Piper stared at the sky, so did Jason. Piper let out a sigh as she stretched her body. I know pipes, she is dying on the inside, but she still shows everyone she is alive.
I don't really dare to look up to the sky to be honest, I feel as if im so small, I feel like im so worthless, I feel, lonely.
Our starbucks finally came after fifteen minutes of awkward yet peaceful silence.
As usual, I took my hot cappuccino. Jason took a green tea frap and Piper took her favourite ice blended strawberry.
We sat down together as we all looked up in the sky.
I knew that was what everyone wanted, to be quiet, to enjoy the night sky, to hear the waves, to hear the beauty of night life while enjoying their drink.
But I can't bear to look into the sky, its as if my whole world is shrinking, its as if I was going to see something I was not supposed to see, as if my body was collapsing.
Because everytime I look in the sky, I just get reminded about her.
And who is her? Don't pry.
The hatred I have for her now is undescribable. She was one of the people in our squad once upon a time. Once upon a time, there was a squad of six of us, she was the one for me. Until the time she turned out to be the bitch who Piper, who Jin Wei and everyone told me a long time ago. I swear she was my angel once, but it wasn't until she cheated on me until I found out she was a bitch. Is it me being slow?
I don't know. But the scars she left are unbearable, that was when I decided to live on the principles of what strict parents tell their children.
Enough bullshit fantasy about love, let's do the math on the earth. I got a call from my dad saying that the landlords gave Piper's mom two more months to pay off her debt, or they are going to make Piper a victim, but its safe for us to come back home now.
We had to go home too because Jin Wei got some déjà vu about her Korean drama that was on so she ushered all of us as we scampered on the bus to watch "Sungkyunkwan scandal."
We hurried to walmart on the way to buy some microwavable popcorn and we couldn't forget the leftover pizza.
Once we reached my house, Jin Wei literally jumped into the hole that lead to my basement and screamed: MY DEAR GU YONG HA I AM COMING!
The basement is a bit like what you might dream of, a huge tv, a huge sofa that's more like a huge huge mattress with a black and brown wallpaper you are kind of in heaven.
We all sat down in our lazy mood and we watched sungkyunkwan scandal with all of them. It is actually quite a nice drama, its about a girl whose will to studying never died and she dressed up as a boy and entered a boy school called Sungkyunkwan.
In sungkyunkwan, she met her crush, Lee sun Joon, a person whose emo level is unbeatable, Moon Jae Shin, and a playboy who is so adorable according to Piper whose name is Gu Yong Ha.
I don't really follow dramas, I feel its just a show to make us feel better about reality. Those unrealistic scenes and heartwarming music doesn't usually happen in real live. And the unrealistic stories about love nearly killed me while I attempted it in real life.
After her, how the fuck would you expect me to believe in love? She ruined it all, I hate her.
It wasn't long before Daniel, Jason and Jin Wei fell asleep while watching the movie. I thought Piper was asleep too before I saw her eyes wide opened at the ceiling.
"Hey, you not sleeping?"
"Nah, I don't want to sleep."
"Why not? It's late."
"You know, its been a rough day today, can't settle my mood."
"Its been tough for you Piper, get some rest."
Piper was quiet for sometime.
"You know? I'm so lucky I have you guys to care for me and love me." Piper said.
"We homies bruh, don't mention it."
"But sometimes, I wonder if im just a burden to you all."
"Of course your not."
"You know? You are never a burden to someone, your never a nuisance to a person." "Until they really don't need you anymore."
"No...... that's not really the truth. You'll always be someone important to us, even after 350 years."
"What if now, is already the 350th year? None of us know. I don't know how long you guys can continuing being the reason of my happiness."
I was silent for awhile, what is up with Piper today?
"I'm going to bed, get some sleep too." Piper said alas as she tucked herself in bed.
But I knew I couldn't go to sleep. I was tossing and turning while old memories kept being thought of. I then decided to log on my facebook, you know, just the usual scrolling through news feed and reading messages. But as soon as I logged on, I saw her face, on my screen, with a profile picture with about 400++likes, captioned 'You weren't just a star, you were my goddamn sky.' Besides that, my notification bar was also spammed with likes and her face. To make things even worse, facebook sent me a notification as well, it wrote 'You have a memory with Alexis Mclean to look back on.', which is a photo of me and her, my arms around her waist, taking a picture under the twnkling stars accompanied by the city skyline, captioned 'You light up my dark sky.'
I literally logged out of my Facebook and threw the phone under the sheets. How could I have been that corny and shallow one year ago? On this very same day? I don't want to see her, nor do I want to know what the hell I've been doing with her for the past one year of my life. No shit, she doesn't light up my world, in fact she just left me surrounded by a circle of insecurities, she left me scars, she left me to cope with the thoughts racing inside my head. I hate her face, I hate how beautiful she actually is. I hate how I can't like her picture. I hate how she left me.
I went back into my Facebook and deleted that picture online. I scrolled through the rest of those stupid pictures and I deleted them all, I couldn't bear to see them, or if someone likes that picture and it goes viral again. It pisses me off so much.
She is coming into my life, again, very subtle.
No, actually, don't come back. I'm fine, you don't have to spam my notification list, you don't need selfies to appear on my news feed, I'm doing absolutely fine without your existence, so can you just get the hell out of here for good?
I obviously couldn't sleep, the whole night. I was just tossing and turning as Daniel decided to stuff his toes into my mouth while Jason placed his legs on my stomach. I was suffocating.
I got up because I had to drink a glass of water and to get my nostrils away from that unbearable stench. Also, because I had to do something tonight.
I climbed up the stairway that led to the first floor of the house and I walked out of the house, to the front yard.
Our house is a really comfy and cozy house, despite it being small and with a tiny front yard and back yard, I guess this was what made it such a comfy house. I sat outside on our tiny patch of grass which my dad prefers to call a front yard. I really loved playing here when I was little, it felt as if I was in a fairytale like dream, it was so quiet and peaceful. Not to mention the flowers add a very nice floral scent to the garden. (I just realized I said nonsense im sorry im always this stupid)
As I sat on the miniature garden/ porch/ super tiny front yard/ a patch of damn grass whatever you wanna call it, I didn't dare to look up to the sky, obviously, I just sat there, quietly, as I heard the crickets chirping away.
Our housing area is really peaceful, and I like it. And seriously, when I feel like sleeping, its as if everything around me helps me go to sleep. The air would be cool, a very subtle ray of moonlight would penetrate through the windows, everything would seem, so peaceful. Unlike in the city when you wanna sleep like some Disney princess and be woken up by the sounds of cars honking, constructions going on and your parents yelling at you in the most high pitched voice like: BRIIIIIIYANNNNNNNN
I swear when I was younger I could never go to bed peacefully, its like every time I shut my eyes my aunt would come into my room and start a bazooka war in my room. She would switch off the ceiling fan, on all the lights, open the windows as the sunlight scorched my eyeballs and I could feel it melting in my eye sockets. She would also scream: WAKE UPPPPPPP and start wiping down my mirrors, mopping the floor and taking the blankets away from me. I swear, getting off of bed, getting off of bed forced and getting off of bed by your aunt and stepping on a wet floor is THREE DIFFERENT THINGS and I swear stepping on a wet floor IS ABSOLUTE HELL especially in the mornings.
Actually this scenario not only happened during my younger years, it also happened after her. I was drained of all my energy I swear I would only get up after 12 pm and I never saw the mornings. People often complain about how hard it is to get up in the morning but they never knew what its like, dreading tomorrow, not wanting to see anything but just getting drowned in your own world of fantasies.
I smelled the calming scent of orchids and lavenders and it was such a calm and positive smell. It brought me back to when I was a child, when I was in the garden, playing, while this scent was like a background music, softly playing in my childhood memories. I thought I would have forgotten about the scent and all, but its one of the most vivid memories of my childhood, now that I look back.
But something interrupted my thoughts. I heard a loud piercing scream that suddenly disrupted my thoughts and they started breaking and running apart. What the hell, I first thought. I mean I'm trying to have my some sort of emotional breakdown time here while being accompanied by moonlight which can be used as a music video scene and you come and wreck it all like you don't have anything better to do mate? But as soon as that stupid thought raced through my mind my logical side grasped me. Who, what, where, why, which and HOW THE HELL is there screams in there? Even though it is technically a living hell for us mere mortals, its really weird to find a piercing scream coming from there.
And the scream sounded like it came from a teenager, much higher pitched. It sounded so helpless, it sounded as if that scream would drown whoever in a sea of sorrow and despair.
I jumped up of my spot like what any normal human would do when they heard a scream at night, but what flashed across my eyes was a girl, running, face covered in a black mask, I could only see her blue eyes under the moonlight. Thoughts raced across my mind, WHO IS THIS PERSON, WHAT IS SHE DOING IN PIPER'S HOUSE, WHERE IS SHE FROM, WHY IS SHE DRESSED UP LIKE A NINJA, HOW DID SHE MAKE IT HERE? A billion more unanswerable questions came rushing through my head like adredeline, I could see sweat running down her face, and the last thing I could capture before I had absolute no memory of that night,
Is three angled, parallel scars, starting from her cheekbones all the way to her cheek, which made me certain of that night.
