Dear Cupid

Three Years Later

Classes had just ended for the day. I'm in my room eating Chinese take out for my birthday. No one except for my family and him knew it was my birthday. I've already received a greetings from my family and I wasn't expecting anything from him. I've stopped doing so.

It's been three years since then. I've move on from the pain and the hurt, mostly but I'm still not looking for a relationship. Nope, I was happy being on my own. I don't care if people tell me it's lonely to be alone. I'm contented being alone, at least I'm at no risk of getting hurt by love. I've been burned once, I have no plans of going through it again.

Still it was kinda lonely being alone on my birthday. I still have no friends here at Uni. Sure I got acquaintances but still I can't call them friends. Looking out my room I'm bored to death now. I've finished all my school work, I've already watched a movie and ate a tub of ice cream all on my own but it was still 7 pm. I've got nothing to do and I don't want to sleep early today. It's my birthday for Pete' sake!

With a groan I went out of the dorm and walked to the nearby park. I sat on the swing and looked up to the sky. I start humming to myself and soon I was singing a song I really liked. It was "Get Down on Your Knees and Tell Me You Love Me" by All Time Low

(Link on the side ^^ Imagine it's her voice)

I was lost in my singing that I didn't hear the footsteps stepping towards me. I didn't even realized someone was beside me since I had my eyes closed as I sang the song.

"I didn't know you sing"

I nearly jumped and snap my eyes open, stupefied. I couldn't mistake that voice for anyone. But how? Filled with dread I looked at my right and there he was, smling at me like nothing was wrong between us.

What the hell was he doing here?! This got to be a dream! There was no way he was here! That couldn't be! I pinched my cheek and yelped in pain but he was still there, smirking in amusement. I got up in haste only to trip and nearly stumbled but he was there to catch me as I fall.

"Be careful" he said as he helped right me up but I just snapped and glared at him. I didn't want to see him, not now after everything that had happened. I needed to move on from him. I transferred schools so I can't keep in touch with him. I left everything so I could avoid him! Why does he have to show up now?!  I've been fine for three years I don't need this now!

"Why are you here?!" I asked in panic. Damn it! Why did he have to be here?! I needed to get away from here fast! I don't care if I act like a loon but I just needed to ditch him here ASAP!

"Happy Birthday Belle" he said as he handed me a gift. I looked up to him confused "What? Can't I greet you a Happy Birthday?" he asked with an amused smile

"Why?" I asked him "Why are you doing this Ethan?" I blinked back the tears that start to form at the corner of my eyes.

Damn it! I thought I was done crying?! Why was I becoming a walking basket case right now? I thought I've moved on from him? Heck it's been three long freaking years?! Why am I still not over him?! I don't need this now! Not on my birthday.

"Belle" he muttered softly as he saw the tears on my eyes "I'm ---" he was about to say something but I cut him off "Thank you for the greeting but I can't accept the gift"

I back away from him, but he takes a step towards me. "Belle, hear me out please" he tried to reach out to hold me

"Don't!" I hold my hands protectively in front of me before he could even try to touch me "Don't touch me!" I say as a tear escaped and trickled down my cheek
