The Journey of Forgetting You

5. The Journey of Forgetting You

Gillian's POV

How could Sebastian do something like this to Tess? She's such a nice girl. I swear I don't mind severing ties with Sebastian. Tess is truly hurt! Look at those eyes of hers. Seriously, what's wrong with brother? I kept asking myself over and over again.  A knock from my room door break the train of thoughts running in my mind. 

"Gillian? Still awake? Good timing. A soup for you. Hot off the pot!" Sebastian smiled sweetly as he carefully placed the soup on a coaster on my desk.  It's hard to break my own brother's heart. But it's even harder to watch him act like the break up is nothing. 

"I've got something to say." I spoke up. Totally ignoring what he said earlier about the soup. I patted the empty side of my bed, instructing him to seat beside me.  He slowly made his way and sat beside me. 

"What is it baby sis?" He questioned. Arching one of his brows at the same time. 

"Why do this to her?" I murmured softly as i hung my head low.

I just didn't know how to face him. I treat Tess exactly like a Sister figure. And the best of all. From my point of view,  it's obvious Seb broke her heart.  He hesitated before answering my question. He sighed aloud, "She told you?" 

"What do you mean by that Brother? Why are you acting like she's nothing? Like you did nothing? Like you didn't break her heart?" I yelled. "Do you know how fragile a girl's heart can be? And come on! Listen, it don't mean you can't see her heartbreaking, doesn't mean her heart isn't breaking. She's going through a lot now. And the difference is, you're not there bro." 

Tears were wetting my eyelid. I was truly disappointed in him. Their love was so strong, who would have thought a break up would happened between them. Let alone an argument? They hardly even disagree over something.  

"It's just that...... You don't understand.. Just leave her alone. She'll be better..." He answered, sighing all the way. 

I stopped probing when I noticed he clutched on to his chest. Chest pain? Perhaps from all the crying? Maybe I should just tell myself this too, 'If you don't see him crying, doesn't mean he's not'.

  Tess's POV 

I rested my head back on the sofa seat of my car. I closed my eyes. Wishing maybe Lord Voldomort could appear now and take me away. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt so much.... 

I started my engine and took one last look at his house. It brings so many memories. Almost everything. Who would have thought a break up will close this chapter... When I planned to keep it going forever?  It's like, when will this heart ache feeling fade. It's like, when can I forget you baby?

I missed you yesterday, I miss you now and I'll miss you tomorrow.

Baby, you know that don't you? Tell me this is a joke.  I drove all my way back home. It's past midnight. But who cares? Screw it. I know I make everyone worry of myself. And I'm damn selfish.  I took out my phone and started punching on the key pads. 

To: Sebastian  'Tell me what's wrong. And I'll make amendments. We will go through this together. I don't care.' 

From: Sebastian 'Come my place? I can't sleep' 

What does he mean by that? We just broke up. Anyway, my head and heart both argued on the answer. Guess what, my heart won. 

To: Sebastian  'Ok' 

I found myself smiling genuine for the first time since we broke up. Maybe I'll have a chance to talk some sense into him, and maybe go through everything together?  I quickly changed out from my sleep wear into jeans and a body hugging blouse. I grabbed my sweater and flats, and tip-toe to the door.

I started my engine and drove the oh-so-familiar route to his house. I must have looked like an idiot then. Grinning from ear to ear.  I sprinted to his front door, and give it a slight nod. As my knuckle was about to make in contact with the door for the third time, the door open. There he was, so perfectly.  And he smiled, followed by a smile that crept up to my face too.
