Chapter 22 : Explanations

***SASHA'S P.O.V.***

I checked my watch. It's 6:30 pm, 30 minutes till the party. I bent down the floor, seeing my phone charged and ready. I never noticed it was off and so I quickly opened it, finding 7 missed calls and a voicemail. 4 calls from my parents and 3 missed calls with a voicemail from Ban, weird.

I first called my parents, because maybe something bad happen. They normally never call this much.

"Mom?"

"Dear, I've missed you!" she squealed.

"Mom, what's wrong?" I ask.

"Your dad and I, we have some news for you... we are going back there," she says.

"Oh my gosh, mom, the hell! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I ask.

"It was a surprise and tonight... we might just go out town for a couple of months!"

"Mom, you spoil us too much!" I smile and giggle.

"Dear, it's the least we could do, we haven't really been there, you know?" she says. "And Jershon has told us about your problems?"

"Mom, I'm sorry! I didn't get to tell--"

"No, it's fine. I just wish that we were there and--"

"Mom, please don't cry."

She chuckles. "I'm not, don't worry!" she protest. "Just pack your bags tonight, we're leaving."

"I'm so excited!" I squeal.

She giggles. "Bye Hun!" She hung up.

I then check Ban's voicemail.

[ Uh... Hey Sasha! It's Ban and I just wanted to ask if you're coming to the party and-- ]

He sadly got cut off by the voicemail. I better go to the party to ask him about it and finally give him the letter and never come back, but part of me is getting tired of this. All this drama.

I just met him for a few months. I don't know anything about him, actually. He was just a transfer that I fell for.

Okay, now plan C. I'll just give the letter and never come back! Have a new life. Paris? Australia? New York or whatever... just away from him.

Beep.

[ Sasha come to the party, quick. Ban and Natalie, they are making a scene! ]

[ Jershon, I'm on my way. Stay there, let's meet by the back door. ]

As always, I took a cab and in that 30 minute drive, I've been sent with so many pictures and the rumors were all over the news.

"Natalie Summers and Ban Lightwood, might have broken up on Ms. Summers' debut. There are rumors that Sasha Smith has cost the fight of the couple."

That's some deep shit. I always knew that Natalie is rich, popular and more likely could be called a celebrity since her parents are millionaires, but calling me on the news is just plain pathetic.

It's like they're calling me the one who started a third party with Ban. They both have some explaining to do.

I stepped out of the cab and spotted paparazzi's everywhere.

"Ms. Smith, were you and Ban Lightwood ever a couple?"

"Ms. Smith, are you a virgin?"

"Ms. Smith, are you aware that Ban and Natalie took a break?"

"Ms. Smith--"

Jershon come by quickly and hit all the cameras, making them stop facing my direction.

"What the hell are you trying to do?" he ask.

"Sir, are you also in a relationship with Ms. Smith?" they ask.

"Stay away from my sister!" Jershon pulls me towards him and continues to run to the door, shouting it, I spot Ban. He was on the floor crying.

"Sasha!" he sits still.

I go nearer and slaps him. He touches his face, looking confused.

"You, you ruined me!" I say. "The girls and Jershon were right all along," I fall down to the ground.

"Sasha, I broke up with Natalie..."

"Can you just stop talking? God! You're so annoying," I chuckle.

"What's happening to you?" he ask.

"Nothing, I don't need to tell you everything, because I don't care about you anymore and I've learned that," I smile.

"And you're happy?" he question.

"Yes, because once in my life, I could say that I'm fine without you!" I exclaimed. "I'm fine without you in my life, because you're making me feel like I'm weak, like I need you to be happy? But no, I have my friends, my family and they are better than that," I sigh. "I've made my decision, I'm going to Australia!"

"Sasha, you don't know what your doing!"

"No, you don't! I'm happy, Ban! Just leave me be," I grin. "My parents called me and we're going to Australia together."

"Sasha, please don't do this," he pleas. "Did you just come here to make me suffer?" he ask.

"I came here, because I wanted to give you a letter, but I think I already explained it to you. I love you, but I'm not making myself happy anymore... you were like an obsession to me, but love isn't like that, it's about sacrifices. In short, I'm letting you go," I grin.

"Sash, we can work this out!" he exclaimed. "I want this to work."

"You do... but I don't," I leave without a reply from him. Maybe it's over for good.
