I was hiding in the corner, but I was supposed to attend class. I wiped away tears, the scene of Tristan kissing someone else just kept haunting me. That reminds me of him. I felt so anxious and sad as memories began stir in me...

"You know what, no sane person will love you. Just leave before I kick you out." Ethan said in a cold, hard voice. I couldn't hold back my tears any longer and wept aloud. A naked blonde woman just sat on the bed staring at me impassively.

"Come back to bed, darling. I bet you want to hear me groan, don't you?" She teased before put on an evil grin.

I've had enough, I am so sick of all of this. I ran out of the door quickly. It was so damn cold outside since that was a winter night, the wind was cold and drove the snow at me almost horizontally. I sobbed loudly, until my voice tailed away in the bitter cold air.

He doesn't love me, though we used to have so much fun and he said that he would never leave me. But he broke his promise, and ended up fucking with a random pretty blonde.

On that day, I headed home and drank countless whiskeys to numb my pain.

And now, Tristan does nothing but the same, they both left me for some sexy ladies.

Maybe Ethan was right, no one would love me, I just don't deserve anyone.

"Cause I got issues, but you got 'em too. So give 'em all to me and I'll give mine to you..." My phone ringed, I didn't even bother to look at it but to pick it up.

"Hello?" I said wearily.

"Where the hell are you? Are you okay?" I recognized the voice was Connor's.

"Aren't you supposed to go to class?"

"I can ask you the same thing. Anyway, I didn't see you in class, that is simply abnormal! So I lied to the teacher that I had to go to the restroom. Where are you, I'm coming to find you, so you can tell me the whole story."

"I..." I looked around to find where I am, "Behind the mess hall I guess."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

After standing there alone for five minutes, he finally showed up. I couldn't stand it anymore but rushed up to him and hugged him tightly,  I felt tears streaming down my cheeks, dropped on his shoulders.

"Hey, what has happened mate? You know you can always talk to me." He said softly.

"It's Tristan," I sobbed, "I saw him kissing Anastasia. Sorry for ruining your shirt by the way."

Connor sighed before looked into my eyes  sternly, "Don't jump at such a conclusion, maybe you should talk to him about this, I believe he will explain everything. After all, you guys' relationship just started, and he can't break up with his girlfriend without a proper excuse, right?"

"You are right, Connor. Thanks" I wiped away my tears and gave him a smile.

"What are friends for? Come on now, let's go back to class, shall we?" He smiled back.

I waited until the day finally end. I picked up my courage and went to the parking lot imminently.

I stood by his car, trying to clam my mind while waiting for him.

After fifteen minutes, I finally saw a tall and handsome guy wave goodbye to a few guys and walked towards my direction.

My heart was beating so fast.
