"Hello?
"Hello Nicolle?"
"Yes, it's me. Have you cleared up your schedule?"
"Yeah I did, I'm available for 3 weeks"
"3 weeks? That's great! I'll see you then?"
"Yeah goodbye!"
"Bye take care!"
I placed my phone on the coffee table and sipped my coffee. I smiled. I'm really excited about the renovation project that me and Reysel will work on together.
It's been three years since our vacation in Boracay. A lot of things have changed.
I'm now the manager of a famous hotel here in the Bahamas. Reysel is now an interior designer based in LA. Anna is now a well-known stylist in Hollywood. Rodcen is now an engineer and is getting married to John. While Mikaela is pregnant with her first child.
We all last saw each other at Mikaela's wedding a year ago. The wedding was held in Boracay. The reception was at the hotel where the five of us stayed. It was a very memorable night for all of us.
I remember walking by the swimming pool, thinking about Justin Bieber. We texted and called each other almost everyday after we parted in Boracay. But a few days before Mikaela's wedding he didn't call me and his texts were shorter and fewer. I was worried. Was there something bothering him?
Then I suddenly got a call from him. My heart was beating so fast like the first time I saw him. I composed myself and clicked the answer button.
"Hello?" he said.
"Hi..."
"Nicolle... I..."
"Is there something wrong Justin?" I asked him, my voice full of worry.
"No-nothing's wrong... it's just that..."
"..."
"I'm breaking up with you Nicolle... I'm sorry..." he said.
Tears fell from my eyes when I heard him say those words. I dropped my brand new cellphone in the pool. I cried until my eyes were sore.
A few days later I got a call from Anna.
"NICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" Anna screamed through the phone.
I was deaf for a few seconds.
"Hello?! Nicolle are you there?! Can you hear me?!"
"I'm here Anna. I was just temporarily deaf for a few seconds! Why did you have to scream?"
"I'm sorry! But I have EXTREMELY important news about Justin!"
"I don't want to hear it" I said coldly.
"WHAT?! WHY?!"
"We're over Anna, he broke up with me a few days ago" I told her with no emotion.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???!!!"
"Don't shout!"
"Sorry... I'll come over to your apartment right now!"
"Why?"
"You. Need. Me" she said and the call ended.
A few minutes later Anna was banging on my door.
I opened it and Anna hugged me immediately.
"Oh Nicolle! How could he do that to you?" she tried to comfort me but I felt no comfort at all.
"I don't need this Anna..."
I don't need anything or anyone right now. I wanna be alone.
