One Step To Paradise

Chapter 4:

The truth

Irene's POV

My eyes went watery and before I knew it.

Tears were strolling down from my cheeks.

I was frustrated. I don't kbow what to feel. My heart wasn't convinced, but my mind keeps telling me it's true. I don't know why, but my fist is itching to punch this... THIS BITCH in front of me. I know I must be angry to V. But... I just can't bring myself hating him.
The evidences were there. The way we talked to each other and laugh our heart's content, i felt it. He wasn't just treating me as a stranger but as a friend.
I MEAN, WHY should I trust this slut in front of me, when we haven't even known each other? I bet she must be making up stories... She must like V.

My ears fumed with redness and anger.

I look at ny side as the bitch went to past me.

I smirked and held my foot, sending her stumbling in the ground.

I smiled bitterly as I sent her lying at the cold floor.

"WHAT THE F-——"

"Before you messed up with me, see yourself in the mirror first."
I said as I walked out the door.

In need to confirm it from V. I want to hear it directly from his mouth.

I stormed out from the room as I ignored the shouts, that the bitch made.

I must hear it from him.

I skip classes and went to his room, not minding they were just having classes.

I looked and saw there was no teacher, they were having self-studying.

I barged in, not minding the students as they stare at me like I was some crazy person.

All of their attention went to me and I ignored it.
I went to V who was looking down, fiddling with his delicate fingers as he was wearing headphones.

As soon as I was at his front, I tapped his shoulders and he looked up. His eyes went big and removed his headset.

"I-Irene..."
He said as he noticed noticed my eyes were puffy and tears were still streaming down my cheeks.

"V..."
I started.

He stood up and raised his arms.

He wiped my tears  cupping it.

I blushed but I need to know his answer first.

"Is it true?"
I said, voice cracked up.

He looks at me reassuringly and asked.

"What?"
He said, still cupping my face.

"Y-you only used me to be your toy?"
I said.

I saw his face hardened, it explains everything...

He was just using me.

"I-Irene I——"

I snort and let out a mocking laugh.

"Huh!! You know what?! Screw you. I- i hate you."

I said and stormed out of the room.

I ran.ran.ran and ran not minding where I will go.

That's it.

I won't trust anyone again...

I ran then stopped at the park, panting.

I guess I've ran pretty far away.

I sat down at the bench as I catched my breath.

There were many couples, talking and being lovey-dovey.

I cried and glared at them.

"YOU'LL BREAK UP SOON!!!"
I shouted bitterly as they frowned at me and ignored me.

I don't know why but... it hurts.

Right here..

In my chest.

I clutch my chest and growled in pain.

I continued crying...

I'm hopeless.

I thought there woukd be someone who can change the way I looked at people.
It only made me distanced myself to all people, closing all the gates and not let anyone in again.

I'm so stupid thinking I was starting to fall in love.

You're just a toy Irene.

I continued crying when I felt some presence at my side.

I ignored and cried my eyes out.

I gulped hard when suddenly, someone pats my back soothingly.

I find out comfortable despite I didn't even know what this creature is.

I look up and saw his face.

"AHHH!!! SO BRIGHT!!!"
I screamed and covered my eyes immediately.

He chuckled..

Yes... It's a he.

I opened my eyes again and the light didn't hurt that much.

He went down and kneeled in front of me.

He smiled and offered me his handkerchief.

My eyes widened.

He ruffle my hair and stood up.

I accepted the handkerchief kindly and spoke.

"Don't cry again, okay?"

He said with his most comforting smile and left me.

I look at his handkerchief and saw a name embroidered.

"Golden?"
