Chapter-34 Born to be

I didn't know what to do besides one thing: I needed to get out of here and that too fast.

With shaky hands I lunged for a pen that was carelessly placed on the table and quickly jot down the number on my palm, hoping it would be of some help later. Placing the phone back to where I had first found it, I forced my trembling legs to run as fast as they could because I knew for once that I couldn't let Blake see me right now.

My heart pounded wildly in my chest as my breathing rate quickened due to panic I was incurring at the moment. I quietly opened the door and shut it back softly; swallowing the lump in my throat once I was out in the fresh morning chilly air. As soon as I turned around to face forward and away from the door, my heart stopped.

"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

Blake definitely seemed amused as he raised an eyebrow at me whilst I couldn't help but push my quivering hands behind my back so that he couldn't assess my condition.

Play along, a voice chanted inside my head.

"G-ghost? No, of course not! I was just worried when I couldn't find you in there and then you decided to appear in front me suddenly without warning and that freaked me out," I reasoned or at least tried to, aware that I wasn't lying in the slightest bit. Not that I could lie to him in the first place.

He narrowed his eyes at me, playfully and I almost felt like crying. I didn't know what or who to believe anymore. Had Blake seriously been lying to me in my face all these years? Or was it that man who was trying to play a trick on me?

"Are you okay Abigail? You look stressed," Blake's tone was full of concern just like how I imagined it would be if he were to see me in a state like this. His hand shot out to rest on my shoulder his touch bringing a familiar kind of warmth with it. Eyeing his hand for a split second, I dared to look him in the eyes.

"I'm-I'm fine really. And like you asked, I'm here to say goodbye," A grim expression was set onto my face as I said this, not wanting to be in such a circumstance where I was doubting the loyalty of my own best friend.

"C'mere," he ushered me into his arms, engulfing me in his warmth and I almost forgot about that phone call-a simple call that had the potential to change my life completely.

I rested my head on his chest-his heart beat resounding in my ears and suddenly a lone tear decided to escape my eyes.

"Don't cry Abi. You know I hate to see you like this. Please," He ran a hand though the mess my golden locks were and I couldn't help but embrace him back-hoping I would wake up from this nightmare-but at the same time aware that this was all real.

Blake couldn't betray me. This has to a trap. A sick trap and I was already falling into it.

I sniffed softly, backing away from him, as I wiped my cheeks with the back of my hand, looking into his hazel eyes that held a considerable amount of stress in them and absolutely no ounce of deceit.

"I'll always be grateful for this-this friendship and appreciate whatever you've done for me all these years. You know I've always loved you for who you are but even if you decided to be someone else in future-I'll never forget what you were-my best buddy," I finished with a heavy heart as I allowed more tears to stain my face whilst watching the confoundedness and despair slowly making its way onto his face.
