Walk Out On

Chapter 13: TIME OUT!!

'Once in a while we all need a break'

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

I woke up with a throbbing head and the worst mood. Everything seemed to be irritating me, one thing at a time. First was my alarm, next was the sun light been so harsh on my morning face, then my mother was shouting out for me from the other side of the house, finally, I was upset on the fact that Erik and I didn't talk for the past two days.

It was very frustrating. I cannot think straight, my mind will drift to that conversation we had last time. And small things will remind me of him, quite irritating that it was reminding me of him. And once I reach school, Nora being s sweet heart asked on how we were, most of all, how I was.

I'm fine I said giving a weak smile. I can't afford to show weakness but she knew I was not fine but she doesn't drag it further. She gave a hug and went off to her class, and I went to mine. A tired sigh came out unintentional but I felt so tired. The classes passed by unknowing faster with my mind being distracted on the recent event.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when Nora came and dragged me to the cafeteria. Dragged as in, she was pulling on to my half alive and zombie self. I did look like I woke up from the dead and came to school. No one can blame me, I was going through a rollercoaster ride I never went on before. So the feeling was quite rushed and exhilarated.

"You have to eat something?" I heard Nora say and I saw the worry on her face.

I nodded and went and bought a sandwich which felt satisfying for now. Right at the last bite, Nora gave a cough which caught my attention. She shifted in her seat a bit and looked at me. Took a few breath and said.

"Go talk to him, try see what is wrong? If it can be fixed and patched do it" she encouraged me.

"O Okay, I'll see on it" and to see her give me a look.

"What?" I said at her vaguely.

"I know exactly when you say, 'I'll see on it', it means 'never' in a way" she huffs at me.

I made a smug face at her and said I'll do it, no harm in a single call. Right??

The moment I stepped in to my room, I took my phone out. Opened his contact and stood for a while. I was nervous to call, as I don't know what will happen. But I bravely clicked on the call button and listen on to the phone ringing.

Until I heard his hoarse voice at the other end.

"What do you want?" was his welcome to me calling him. Wasn't the brightest welcome I have gotten from a guy, not just any guy, he is my boyfriend.

"Well, hello to you too" I said sarcastically. It got on my nerve that I called to actually fix this situation which occurred, and he started it rudely. I took a deep breath and started again.

"Look, I called to say that, I'm – uh – sorry" I said stuttering a bit. He didn't say anything.

"So you accept that you do flirt with guys and the fact that you won't talk to them and Nora?" he asked for confirmation.

"I never said I accepted them, I just felt the need to say sorry and end this matter as you won't take a heed in this fight we are having" I said, my anger rising slowly.

"So I you take back on the whole 'trust' thing you took me" he asked me.

"I don't think I'll take it back, because you didn't accept the fact that you don't trust one some things. And the fact wise, you didn't even say 'I trust you' even." I said trying to make a statement.
