The Pain In Her Eyes

Chapter 3

Raiden's POV

"Dude, why don't you just find another girl?", Ryan said to me while I'm washing some cups. We've been best of friends since I moved here last 2 years. "I can't, it just really hard. I tried to find some girl but it is still hard." I said as I leaned on the counter. "It just really hard man, it's hard to forget that girl."

"Let's talk about this later, and oh there's a girl who came inside the shop." He said while looking at the small window from the door. I looked through it and saw the girl. She has long black hair and fair skin.

"Damn, she's pretty tho.", Ryan said. "But I think she's gonna be the next girl for you bro." He laughed.

"Oh shut up, I'm gonna do my business first," I said and I walked towards her.

After I gave her order, I came back inside and I saw Ryan talking with someone on his phone. I guess it's his friend, Amy.

"Dude, I'm gonna pee. Be right back." Ryan put his phone in his pocket and went to the comfort room while I'm here, still standing and watching her. I guess she's new here. I stepped outside and walked to her.

"Hey," I said as she looked up to me and pulled her earphones out of her ear. "Oh, hey." She said.

"Uh, I'm Raiden and you are?" I said as I asked her. "I'm Clyssalin. Clyssa for short." She said smiling. "Nice name, uh may I ask something?" I asked. "Uh, yeah sure." She nodded while she answered.

"Are you new here? Because you seem...unfamiliar, obviously.", She laughed a bit about what I just asked. "Yeah, I'm new here. My mom and I just moved here yesterday." She answered.

"Well, Welcome to Ontario, Ms. Clyssalin," I said as I bowed my head a bit. She laughed once again. That smile though.

We talked about random stuff for a few minutes until someone poked me. I looked at my back and it was Ryan.

"Dude, it's 10:00 am. I'm going home at 10:15 am and also, I'm going out with my friend."

"Oh sure. Just go back around 2:00 pm because you already know it's my alone time." I said, standing up as he patted my back and he went outside the cafe.

I turned around and saw Clyssalin standing up and picking up her phone.

"Oh, you're leaving," I said as I stand up. "Yeah, I just need some coffee because I just woke up and need some energy." She said. "And thanks."

"For what?", I asked. "Forgiving your time to let us know each other?" She said, questioning. "Oh, haha. You're welcome since you are new here and you need some new friends."

She smiled and we said our "bye's" to each other before she went out. I went back to the kitchen after I cleaned up the table and put it on the sink. I sat down on the chair beside the counter and pulled out my phone to my play my favorite songs as I mopped the floor.

Clyssalin's POV

I lied down on the couch and started thinking about what happened at the café. Oh my goooooooooood. I rubbed my face with my hands and stood up as I remembered about the ring. I ran upstairs and take it where I put it. I went to the attic again and started finding the box where I found the ring. While I was finding some hints or mystery stuff, I found a letter. It doesn't have a name on it. It's just the name I found on the ring.

"Dear Amourlyn,

I always knew that you will be there for me when I'm down and I won't forget that day you made me feel like I'm the only guy here in this cruel world. I appreciate it and I love it when you laugh at my corny jokes. But, things are not the same anymore. You've become busier than ever. You haven't answered my phone calls and my messages. You haven't shown up. What happened to you? When will you show up? When? I miss you. I will be waiting for you."

Well, that's all. What happened to this Amourlyn? To this guy? Who are they? Maybe the girl owns this house or maybe the guy? There are so many questions inside my head. I am glad I can manage some time for this mystery ring I found here. I continued finding some hints from these two people and this ring. But, I couldn't find anything. They are all love letters from that guy for this girl. I put it all back in the box and went down to my room. I put the box down on the small table beside my bed. It's a medium brown box with a red ribbon on top. Maybe mom knows where are the other boxes. She might put it somewhere...

I felt my phone buzzed and I pulled it out. I just got a message from my mom. Well, I guess she forgot something. I looked at the message and yes, she did forget something. Her laptop. I'm glad I have a driver's license. I went downstairs and took my keys as well as my mom's laptop. I locked the door and walked to the garage.

While I was driving, I was listening to the radio and I didn't expect the song will be played. Amnesia. I sighed, I need to fight this feeling. Like what my mom said if I heard or saw anything that reminds me of him. Fight that pain.

'I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the makeup running down your face'

I still remember it as well as the pain. Fight the pain Clyssa. Fight it.

Hi! Sorry for the very VERY late update. I hope you forgive me for it. :( I'm just busy making sins in this cruel world. Welp, here's chapter 3. Tada! I hope you guys like this chapter, vote, and comment if there's something wrong with this part.

The last part happened to me but I was on the bus. The driver played that song. Yup, I almost cried. But I was fighting that pain.

So, bye.
