Walk Out On

Chapter 5: will you be my girlfriend???

"You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear." - Oscar Wilde -

It's been weeks since my break-up with Damen, Nora had been by far successful in making me feel better at school. While Vicky had me feeling better at home. I was stabilising myself slowly.

To brighten my gloomy self, Vicky told me to talk to someone, or rather it just happened unknowingly. I started opening up to Erik. Since the break-up we been talking over the phone mostly, started out casual on him mostly trying to cheer me up and trying to know me. Yes, we had our moments in our talks. Not the romantic talk. The opposite actually. Erik was someone who had the looks and had a gift of nature, anger management problems.

"Anger". Something we all have in us, no doubt in that, but the way he does, it was a way no one has ever done it with me before. He gets angry and in the end gets me angry as well. When someone's ego and pride is over and above, it won't click with someone who isn't the way as that person. Especially, if it is with an over-confident player who has by far gotten what he wants, when he wants.

When he came along and met me, he wouldn't have thought that I would be the one to rile and trigger him up, neither did I. "Rile and trigger", meaning speaking up to him at his level to show him that he is wrong, at times. But if that person is not used to a person telling him he is wrong, especially a girl, it triggered a lot I believe. Triggered an unknowingly amount of anger that made him curse at me.

Curse at me, and to live and tell the tale is a not so happening story. Exaggerated a bit, I know

The moment he cursed at me, I was shocked, I mean who did he thinks he was to say things at me like that. So being someone who doesn't think straight once I get mad, I cut the phone on his face.

*******************************

Yesterday went rather faster than expected after not talking to Erik. One thing for sure was that, I made sure I was not the type of girl who will obey to his wishes as he commands them.

Right now I'm on the verge of tears, not by Erik, it was the one and only "Landon Carter", I think, you know the guy in "A walk to remember". He is a fine specimen, indeed. That movie is a classic, a-must-watch movie, both genders included.

My started ringing with it's opening ringtone. To see that the caller ID was "Erik", and to me it only makes me wonder what he wants from me.

"Hello?" answering the call.

"Hey! How are you doing? Just wanted to know how things are for you?" he in a nervous way.

"I have been better, I hope you have a reason to sound so nerve wrecked" as I didn't do anything to him. His conversations went with extra "uh" and a few "um". Which is not so common of him unless he is trying to say something out.

So I took the lead and asked, "So what's wrong? If you have something to say, do say it", not the nicest way to say it but it did its job. "Well, first would be "I'm sorry" for my behavior, I shouldn't have acted like that to you" he apologized. As I am a person who is "nice" by nature I accepted his apology.

We talked casual, like how my day went, what I did in school, whether I ate or not, and when I had to go, we hung up.

Straight after that, I left to Vicky's place, mainly as she would be expecting me to drop by whenever I'm bored or to talk. She was taking her royalty shower, by that I mean she takes almost forever to get out of a shower if enters. And so I, awaited for her arrival.

"So, how is it going with him?", she said at me coming out of the shower. "Hmm, its fine I guess, just that, he cursed at me", I strained on the word curse, making sure to add a piercing look at her. She noticed it. "Oh, he did not, well nothing new, been there done that, Stephan even does, pisses me off so much", she said in an annoyed way.
