The whole night, I couldn't sleep. Who could? I lay in bed, crying. You called. A million times. But I couldn't answer. I don't want to hear your voice. I can't. It hurts. Way too much.

The sun rose and I barely slept a wink. Groaning, I got up. Looking at my phone, I saw the 337 missed calls from you. Staring at your name, my heart hurts once again.

Barely paying attention to what I was doing, I got dressed, combed my hair, and fed myself. Throughout the whole time, you called again and again. But I couldn't bring myself to answer the call.

When I opened my gate, I saw your car, parked right there. You waited inside, the window down, worry evident on your face.

At first I felt longing for you. I just wanted to run to you and cry. I wanted you to tell me that you didn't kiss her. That it was all my imagination. But as quickly as that feeling came, it left. In its place, I felt a terrible anger.

I was angry. I was angry at you. I was angry at her. I was angry at myself. I was angry that I was hurt. I was just plain angry.

Locking the door, I closed the gate and walked. Straight towards your car. Straight passed by your car. Straight ahead to the bus stop.

"Hey, where are you going?" You were slow driving along the pavement, following me as I walked straight.

No reply.

"Babe, please talk to me. I need to talk to you."

Silence.

"We need to talk. Seriously. Please. Talk to me..please.."

"No. We don't need to talk. I've seen everything. So why talk?" I nearly scream.

"Why are you being like that? Why are you so difficult? Please just get into the car. Let's talk babe. Come on."

"Difficult? So now I'm the one that's difficult? Oh wow. Fine then. Since I'm being difficult, you can just leave and go meet Jenny. Make sure to use protection alright?" I practically yelled at you before walking off. You were in obvious shock, clearly not expecting me to talk to you like that.

Tears threaten to fall once again as I walk off to the car park. Before I knew it, the tears rolled down my cheeks and I sobbed silently. I don't know what to do.

Throughout the whole school day in school, I never looked at you once. I wanted to, so many goddamn times but I forced myself. You on the other hand never stopped trying, walking up to me to give a piece of paper that you could have passed to someone else, sit near me in PE, even going to the extreme and volunteer to be my partner for my project. But there was no way I'm gonna let you.

The school day ended and before I knew it, it was time to go home. Rushing home, I didn't have any energy to do anything thing at all. I couldn't eat, study, I just laid in bed all day. So productive.

At around 7.30pm as I continued acting like a log, my phone buzzed. I checked it, half ready to ignore it thinking it was just the class whatsapp group asking what the homework was. But nope. It wasn't the group.

From:babe❤️
Can we please talk? I need to talk to you. I need you. Please.

I stared at the message. Oh wow. Can't I just ignore the whatsapp message? But I already blue ticked it. Haiz. To be honest, I was curious as to WHY they were kissing. Hello, but in case you forgot, you were the one who wanted this whole seven days thing. But why am I the only one suffering now huh?

To:babe❤️
One hour.

I just wanted to know why. If you really liked her, then what is the Seven days for? Was it just to hurt me more? Make me cry more?

You replied saying that you would pick me up in 10 minutes outside my house. Throughout the full ten minutes, I paced around the house, nervous about later.

Ten minutes come by in a flash and before I knew it, you were waiting outside, a double honk letting me know you are there. Practically shaking I walk out, trying my best to act like I was fine as I opened the door and slide inside.

Neither of us utter a word as you drive off. Eventually, we drive through the familiar scenery and I realize where we are. The park where it all started.

Once you parked, we both get out, the awkward silence between us as we mechanically walk towards our bench. Did I just say our bench? I wonder..will it still be 'our' once this hour ends?

A minute passes. Not a word said.

Two minutes pass, still no sound.

Five minutes pass, hey, did we both become mute or something?

"Ahem...what do you want to say? I'm not so free I still have homework to do alright." I could tell that I sounded very cold but you deserve it.

"I kissed Jenny. It's true. But can you listen to my explanation? We were rehearsing for her part and that included a kiss scene. I don't have feelings for her. Never have. I love you baby girl. Stop avoiding me. You promised me seven days. Let's spend these seven days together...alright?" Uncertainty was evident in your voice.

"You're not lying right? There really was no other meaning to that kiss right?" You nodded.

"I guess..I guess we can go back to being normal." Oh my gosh. The smile he gave me. I'm pretty sure my face is super red right now. Leaning in, his lips left mine, just a quick kiss.

"This kiss, this kiss is the one that has a lot of meaning baby girl." That night he drove me home, our fingers interlaced, all worry gone. Well, not gone, just tucked away, forgotten.
