The One That Got Away

Chapter 8

Jennifer's POV.

I ran and ran, not knowing where I am already.

Breeze whistled, wind gushed, trees swayed with the wind's movement and the pond's little waves were making noises.

I used my common senses to find where the pond is.

My time was spent just by crying and trying to calm myself.

I walked at the edge of the pond to make myself calmer then, suddenly, wind crept behind me just right on my back.

Without any clue, I was hugged from my behind.

"You're just here... I searched for you everywhere. I didn't miss a single spot. Good thing I found you. You made me worried when you ran away." Alex said.

"I always forgive you, Alex. I know you could live without me, that's why I ran away. One thing is, I'm just your slave right?" I gave him a weak smile.

"Shh. Don't speak. We're going home." He placed his index finger right above my lips.

He picked me up and said, "Jen, close your eyes." 

I quickly closed my eyes and waited on what may happen.

After maybe a few seconds of closing my eyes, we're already at Alex's house.

Alex's POV.

I again raised my hand on Jennifer.

She doesn't deserve this.

I shouldn't be doing this to her.

Something inside me told me that I am jealous but my mind kept on fighting with my heart.

Whenever I see Jennifer and Mason together, my sight is always darken by the jealousy and anger inside me.

I repeat it; she don't deserve this.

I went to her room and found Jennifer sleeping peacefully at her bed.

I walked towards her and I started to adore her face.

She have those glossy hair, perfect eyes, kissable lips. Everything about her needs to be adored.

I just don't know what happened but because of adoring her, I fell asleep beside her.

Someone gasped which made me jump.

I opened my eyes and shocked to see Vanessa in front of me.

And she was giving me death glares.

I jumped up from Jennifer's bed and tried to stop Vanessa from leaving.

Suddenly, she stopped and looked at me in anger.

"We are so through! Don't even try to crawl back to me! Goodbye!" She yelled at me before walking off.

What. Did. Just. Happened?

I tried to stop her by saying, "Wait! Vanessa please!"

But she shook her head. "No waits. We are so through." 

Those are her last words to me.

It made me fall on my knees and guess what? I was crying.

Why am I crying for her? She don't deserve to be cried on.

I called Zac, my other friend, to meet me at the nearest bar.

Zack arrived at the club shortly after I came here.
