That's Why They Call It The City Of Love

Bad memories

"Jasmine, can we sit down, please"

Right now, we were at the shoping centre with Jasmine and James of course but Jasmine was the one who dragged both me and James to the mall for some clothes because my birthday is in Janurary which is in a month or something but she's making me shop for clothes now! Ugh! The torchure! I had so much bags on my arm, so did Jasmine but she still wanted to go in another store but I was tired and wanted to go have lunch at the food court already.

"Fine but after we are continuing on shopping" Jasmine said, pointing at me and I groaned.

"Why!? We have more than enough clothes and my birthday is in Janurary, after new years" I told her as we all walked to the food court upstairs.

"Yeah but we need some more for us, please" Jasmine begged with her pupy dog eyes.

"Fine" I said in defeat.

"Yay!" Jasmine shouted making a few people turn their heads to us but Jasmine just flipped them off or ignored them.

We sat down at a table and put our bags down on the extra chair that was at the table. James went to get us a pizza for us to share all together. Me and Jasmine started talking till I saw someone that I didn't want to see since last time we bumped into each other at the café. I his my face in my hands, hoping he didn't see me.

"Emily! Hey!" he shouted, running up to us and I mentally groaned but smiled a fake smile.

"Mike! Hey!" I said, cheerily even though I was faking it.

"How are you?" Mike asked.

"Good, you?" I asked.

"Good, you going shoping?" Mike asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Well no shit, I'm stealing these clothes that are in bags" I said, sarcastically.

"Still the same I see" Mike said with a nod.

"Yes and are you still a player?" I asked, glaring at him. Mike sighed and sat down.

"I'm sorry for what I did back then Emily" Mike said, sounding honest but I can't be sure yet.

"You should be, you broke my heart" I said, tearing up a little bit but refused to cry in front of Mike. Jasmine put one hand on my shoulder, trying to cheer me up.

"I was stupid back then, I've changed now Emily" Mike said, his eyes showing that he was telling the truth.

"I trusted you once and you lost all the trust I ever had for you" I whispered because my voice was about to crack soon.

"I'm sorry Emily" Mike whispered, reaching his hand to me but I pulled my arm away and stood up.

"I'm sorry Jas but I have to go" I said, apologetically and Jasmine nodded.

I ran off with my face in my hands so no one would see me crying. I ran till I bumped into someone and I stumbled back. I whipped my tears away and looked up to see James, my brother. James looked down at me and frowned. I hugged James and he instantly hugged back, stroking my hair so that I'd stop crying.

"What happened?" James asked.

"I saw Mike and I started to remember what he did back then" I told him and James scowled.

"That asshole" James sneered.

"Can we go home?" I asked, looking up at James and he smiled at me.

"Sure sis, we'll just take the pizza to go and eat it at the apartment, ok?" James explained and I nodded.

"Thanks James" I smiled.
