Serendipity

Chapter 1

Early in the winter of my sixteenth year, my boyfriend, Axel Ferreol, has decided to go to England to study since his parents have high expectations for him in the near future, also his strict parents are transferring there for business-related jobs and that's a more reason to go to England.I assumed we'd have a long-distance relationship but as soon as we met up at the front of my favorite cafe, he without a second thought told me we'd break up. I felt dejected, I couldn't give volume to my voice, or even move my mouth , my eyes were wide open. It did not blink. My surroundings were cold as snow was slowly falling but it went colder as he broke off the relationship we have been sustaining for five years. He acted like nothing happened between us and walked right pass me, I felt his warmth for the last time as I unconsciously held his hand, I wanted to stop  him but all he did was smile the gentliest smile I never saw, my hand that held his went loose , he then slipped his hand for the last time and walked away. Seeing his back constantly going smaller on this snowy afternoon, tears of grief went falling like waterfalls but slowly and gently, as he goes forward never looking backward, he disappears like smoke rising to the heavens.

My mind went blank like a new-born baby had. Nothing.nothing.nothing. I thought of nothing for seven months. I wanted to slice off the memories we had out of both my heart and mind but all it did was make it even worst and had me to recall every good and bad memory. I want to dismiss these so-called "feelings" , I want to move on, I want to forget anything and everything related to me, muttering those selfish words I was so hurt I was in tears. As my eyelids were about to fall shut, the piercing of a ring rips through the air. My body stiffens when I realized someone was calling me, I hope the one that is calling me was Axel but I also thought he wasn't. My fingers , my palm, my heart and my boiling blood went nervous as I reached out for the ringing phone above the table.

"Hello? " I asked the unknown caller, the name was in numbers , I don't really know anyone who has the same numbers because obviously I never knew any.

"Miracle? Is this you?" Unidentifiable voice of either a man or a woman, The more I get curious in who on the other side of the phone is, the more I get pissed!

"Yes? I am Miracle, who're you?"

"It's me, Ellen!!! Remember me? You know the girl you used to hang out with at 8th grade, the girl you had swimming lessons with." Her voice was clearer, I felt relieved but somewhat disappointed

"Oh it's you, Ellen Grace." I reply as my dissatisfaction takes over me

"What's with that tone of voice 😑. You seem disappointed I was the one who called." Bingo! Atleast she gets it but it's not that I don't like her, it's just that I wanted Axel to call me and he'd apologize and everything would turn back the way it is...

"Should I reply to that?"

"No, don't. I don't want to hear it. I called you for one single reason, will you come with me at this new bar near a 5-star hotel?" Near a five-star hotel you say... sounds intersting. Should I go?

"Sure, I'd like to accompany you in drinking. I gotta forget and move on anyways."

"Nice! Meet you at your gate in 10 seconds" Before I could even react she puts her phone down. 10 seconds has arrived and as she says, she's already at the front of my gate!

I moved my feet and out of my bed, she's standing infront of my door constantly crossing her arms infront of her chest, without further adieu ,I opened the door in complete bed hair, pajamas, but clean face and surroundings.

"You sure arrived fast" My eyes are so heavy at the moment that I feel like going to bed again."Ofcoarse! So umm, go take a bath now and let's pick a dress that will fit your drop-dead gorgeousness " She opens my cabinet in total shock " What's wrong?" I ask her. " What with these clothes?" She pinches my clothes out one by one and drops it on the floor in complete disbelief and dissatisfaction , "Oh come on , I don't have the kind of money like you that can go and buy anything, I have damn bills to pay" Silence struck through the air, maybe I said the wrong words? " Bitch, don't tell me you've been wearing these clothes all year round?" She asks me , "bitch" is like  a term we've been calling each other when we're completely annoyed. "Affirmative " I replied. Suddenly, a ringing tone of one's phone swims through the air. It's hers

"Gotta take this call" she says before she presses and slides the green button on her phone , I nodded and proceeded to the hot bath. After I finished my bath, she was sitting on my bed constantly playing with her phone. " I'm done. So did you get me a good clothing?". " Well, I picked clothes that are easy to remove and wear." She replies "Huh, why those kind?" I ask , she lets out a sigh and says" BECAUSE before we're going to the damn bar, we're gonna shop you so much clothes and a new cabinet. Don't worry, money's on me, Ive been looking for a purpose to spend this one million for years anyways." She's pretty rich I tell you, her mother works at any hospital as a neurosurgeon and her father works abroad in United Arab Emirates in the so-called "Palace" as an assistant to the prince maybe? I don't know, our topics never go that way.
" Okay" I muttered. As I got myself dressed up, she quickly pulled my wrist , leaving me in distress to reach for my bag and I successfully did. We rode in her car and to the mall we go.
