My Wait

Chapter One

It was really shocking. I never expected this would happen. Its like I've been thrown somewhere dark, oppressive darkness, the proper term would be. Alex patched up with Terry.

I liked Terry. Actually I used to love her very much. I first saw her when I was in grade 8. That beautiful girl, cheerful and merry, running across the hall. She stole my attention on the first glance, I never could tell how much I loved her. Well mostly because I wasn't confident about actually proposing her.

Back to 25/09/17
I was on my way down the fifth floor hallway of my school, when John suddenly came upto me. Panting like he had run a marathon! But my amusement in seeing him like that wasn't for long, as I heard something that would probably shock me for the rest of my life.

"Alex and Terry patched up Zach! They effing patched up!" Those words were like arrows to my ears. I had lost all my normality, everything was feeling sickening and disgusting. I was about to propose Terry two days later, I had planned it for so long....it was like someone threw huge rocks to break my house of glass which I loved so much.

I reached home and messaged Terry about it. I asked her if it was true. She confirmed, and I was in shock. Utter incomprehensive shock.

I broke down. I usually don't shed tears on basically anything. Wouldn't cry if my relatives die even. But that day I cried for hours...after ruining my eyes and making them all red...I went for a shower...still not accepting what I just had heard.

That was it. I declared Terry about my true feelings that day. She was very perplexed. She didn't even know what to say. She could only say let's see what time does.

And From that day I swore to myself that I wouldn't date anyone else except her and I will wait, till my time comes.
