Really sorry for the smallest chapter there. I promise to make it up in this one. :D Happy Christmas !

----------------------------------------------
Indulging yourself works. It works all the time.

I got a makeover done to feel good. I spoilt myself. Afternoons were spent reading my favorite books with a tub of icecream. My life suddenly didn't feel like a joke anymore. I had slowly learnt to appreciate the small things in life once again. The sunsets , the cold breeze and the night sky. But this time, the only difference was , I was alone and not with somone on the phone.
Yes, we lived beneath the same moon. But oh so different ! And I didn't feel too bad about it anymore.

I came to realize that love can be found in friends alone. Friends who are there when you want to cry and not judge you even a little bit. I had learnt to ignore the occasional looks that were thrown by him towards me probably checking me out . I had become beautiful in my own kind of way and I loved it.
That's the thing about time. It helps you heal.

*****************

It felt like everyone had started to like me. You know the guy like like ? Guys were falling on their knees and all I could do was decline and when they asked me why , I just had to tell them the truth.

That I didn't like them or that I didn't trust them. Didn't trust them ? Was it my fault ? I felt so guilty breaking hearts. I know how broken they must be feeling. But it's funny how everyone sweared it was "true love" and how everyone sweared that it would be "forever" when all I wanted to scream in their faces was that forever did not exist but of course I didn't. I couldn't. I was humane trying to be as gentle as possible.

I got a bunch of sweet words from Nicky when I told her my thoughts.
"Oh you bitch ! Of course it ain't your fault ! How can you even think such lowly when you know you ain't at fault ? That ... That .....", I rolled my eyes and cut the call knowing she was going to say some really pleasant things about Ron.

It amazed me how much time had healed me. Taking his name wouldn't bother me anymore. I would see him cross me a hundred times each day and it wouldn't bother me. But it never failed to surprise me that for a person whom I once meant the world could cross me without a second glance. But I had learnt this : Letting go definitely didn't mean loving less.

My lovliesss !!
How are ya'll ? I had to update quickly else I would have had to hear some really pleasant words from _Krazzayswiftie_ and AyshaCoutinho lol.
It won't take long for me to get over with this book !
