Case Closed

Bel's P.O.V:

Tears falling down like heavy rain in freezing winters, but at the moment I don't really care. I felt my knees get weak as I ran away, and my heart pounding out loud. I could hear him chanting my name, telling me to stop. But my legs continued running and running to the point it felt like eternity. After what felt like forever of me running as he followed my speed, shouting for me to stop, his shouts got so low, it almost fainted away. When I thought he was gone, I stopped. Exhaling the fresh oxygen in and out, my heart beats returned to normal breathing. I sighed deeply, moving the back of my hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead. I felt like the heavy rock that was on my chest, suddenly vanished. He couldn't be serious about all of that, could he? I mean, he can't be because he knows we haven't done anything, he saw my every move. I disliked the idea of him following me, I'm not a child any more, I'm a grown up adult. And why does he care so much? I told him to leave me, give space and some time to think through what happened. I never loved; and when I did I got hurt. I remember how Mila and Havi would always push me to guys they thought they had a crush on me, but I always declined saying that I have to pay attention to my studies.

*FLASHBACK*

February 3rd, 2012

"I heard that Luke, your lab partner, has a huge crush on you!" Havi gushed, making my smile turn into a frown.

"Guys..." I whined, crossing my arms while Mila sat next to me.

"C'mon! Why don't you give it a try?" Mila asked, her lips forming a pout.

"I told you! I want to concentrate on my future for my now, I don't have time for cheesy love stories" I complained, a wave of cold air brushed through us.

"So what? You're going to be single for the rest of your life and raise 68 cats and be a crazy cat woman?" She joked but it isn't funny, actually that's a great idea.

"Correction, 69" I spoke with the most innocent smile as she glared daggers at me.

"That's not healthy!" Havi protested, making me chuckle.

"Who said it isn't?" I asked as Liam and Louis came towards us, taking their daily seats.

"Doctors, physiologists, therapists and every single human alive?" Liam answered, coming out more like a question than an answer.

"Were you listening?" I asked them, and they smirked, nodding as they made me sigh dramatically.

"Love is an amazing thing, it's the best feeling you'll ever experience, I don't know what you have against it" Lou sighed, as he started munching into his autumn salad.

"I don't have anything against Love! Although sometimes I think it's stupid and pathetic, I don't think I'm against it. I don't have time for love, I'm too busy planning my future, and studying hours daily. Have you ever tried it? It's a pain in the ass but it will be all worth it" I spoke, as the bell rang, Biology class.

"Gotta go, see you all at the bakery!" I smiled, as I got my bag and walked to my class.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

I smiled at that memory, if you ask me; they are the only good thing in my life. Ever since what happened that made my life a dark nightmare still stuck in in my dark past, they were there for me. They are the only people I can trust, the only people I can love and the only people I can call friends.

Taking my phone out and dialing Havi's number, I waited patiently for her to pick up.

"Hello?" She answerd her voice full of happiness.

"H-Havi?" I swallowed the lump, holding back my tears.

"Oh my God! Bel, what's wrong?!" She asked, her voice full with panic this time.

"Can I c-come over? I'll tell y-you everything when I get there" I held the phone in my right hand while wiping my tears away with my left hand.

"Sure, you're always welcome, the guys are here too" She quickly spoke.

"Thanks, I'm on my way" I say, stroking my hair.

"Drive safe" She spoke before hanging up.

I took a deep breath as I started walking towards my car, I can't believe that he wasn't behind me or even in front of the car when I came back, maybe he really doesn't care. Maybe love is stupid and pathetic after all, if love means to love someone and get stabbed on the back, then I don't want it. Because love is nothing but trouble, love is nothing but problems and love is nothing but sadness.
