Missing him was... || Jesper "Zven" Svenningsen

Chapter 9: Confrontation

There was silence on the table of them. Jesper reacted as shocked as I was and first seemed to be unable to answer her question.

"Well, no answer is an answer as well." Sabine laughed it off but I had to grimace bitterly.

Yeah, it's a great way to say that there was something but isn't worth mentioning.

"If you don't want to talk about it, it's fine, I was just curious." She gave in as she still didn't get an answer.

"It's just that I don't know if the person took it as serious as I did." Jesper suddenly said without looking at her.

I almost screamed because of anger and hurtness but managed to hold me back. But I was on the edge, the amount of lies I heard today were unbelieveable.

"You don't have to talk about it." She repeated again and Jesper nodded in agreement.

"I prefer not to."

The rest of the conversation proceeded in a more forced manner, Jesper behaved very reserved towards Sabine since she asked that question. Eventually they paid, seperated respectively, and left the coffee shop.

However, I remained on my place for a couple of more minutes, still digesting the conversation I just heard.

I knew it was wrong. No, it was even unhealthy. Unhealthy to care about him and eavesdropping conversations of him. But it was almost impossible to avoid him, I basically work with him every day and see him almost every week. The worst thing was that I couldn't confide my problem to anyone because nobody knew what happened the last splits. And Enrique thought it was just a fling or something like that. Hell, I don't even know how to call it. It was something between a fling and a relationship, at least that's how I feel about it. I guess we were stuck between the friendship and relationship zone.

4 PM
Origen Gaming House

"Hey, I'm back." I shouted through the house. But I received no answer.

I sighed with relief, nobody could ask me why I needed so long to get some food.

In the end I didn't even eat anything even though I promised not to skip any meals anymore. But this time my appetite was for real gone, thanks to this conversation I witnessed.

11.30 PM

After scrims I reiceived a message again, this time I was aware of the person even though the reason was unknown to me.
