Your Sorrow

Chapter 11: The Common Friend

E P I P H A N Y

It's already been 4 months after the auction, my life went back to it's daily routine. Work, ethan, exercise, ethan again, family, eat, work, eat blah blah, it goes around like that. Work is boring actually but I'm happy that I didn't get to see Brennan despite of being my 'co-worker'. One day, I got a phone ring. It's Hazel, one of my colleagues/batch mate & a long time friend of mine. Let's just say that she's a trusted one.

We talk about life updates and etc. until she get to her point in which she invites me to go hiking with other batch mates of ours. I would've say yes immediately but I decided to ask Ethan first. I know, I know... I must not depend on him as if he owns my life... yeah yeah. but I want to inform him about it, just in case something bad happens, God forbids.

I ask Ethan, he said yes and told me to be careful. He's really sweet and frightening at the same time, he shared every knowledge that he knew when it comes to survival, hiking, apparatuses and etc. as if he is in a protective boyfriend mode. If he get a chance, he'll probably suggest to come also.

We're heading out! I prepared everything, my boyfriend is here beside me. Still in a protective mode. He's interrupted with his babbling when our shuttle finally arrives. Hazel and the others are already inside, she said that we're still waiting for 2 more people so we wait. It's been minutes there's only remaining 1 person, who's really getting on my nerves. She/He's taking a lot of our time!

 Hazel suddenly got a call, which I think comes from that shiz. We are told to head there without him/her which I gladly accept. So we head to the hiking location, I mentally physically prepare myself for this so I'm confident that I'll get through it. 

We are ready to go hiking when Hazel got a phone call, I don't know what it is and I don't care. I can't wait to get on top already! I'm ecstatic to climb high when Hazel told us to wait. UGH! another waiting game?! I had a nice convo with the other batch mates when a suddenly car pulled up. the door opens Voilà! great just great! fvking great...

It's rude I know but I didn't wait for them anymore as I ascend up the mountain. Hazel calls me out, and I am forced to wait for them. The day's not even started yet but I have a feeling that I wouldn't like it. What ever I'll just do my best to enjoy it.

I glance back to them and there he is! looking smugly...oh how I wish Ethan was here to calm me because I want to punch him so bad.

Somehow I'm irritated to hazel because seriously girl?! why didn't she tell me that he's coming?! She knew everything between me and brennan and yet this is happening! I'm really pissed off. Somehow I feel like I shouldn't blame her or be mad at her because I knew that she's our common friend, maybe I shouldn't assume things... maybe he's here because he wanna catch up with us all. Yeah maybe that's it....-sigh- what ever his intention, If this keeps on happening, Maybe at some point I'll suddenly explodes and confront him... because this is really getting ridiculous. I doubt that these are all coincidence. I might be numb and doesn't care for most of things but I'm not stupid. 

It's been an hour, we rest, get back on track...it goes on. Until we decided to fully rest for the evening, we build a small camp, small tent, and a campfire. The team divide themselves into 2 because each tent can only fit 2 person, so I choose Hazel. Everyone is partnered, we settled ourselves and decided to sleep. Unfortunately, my mind can't stop thinking. It holds too many questions. 

After an hour of just lying, rolling side to side because my mind won't shut up. I decided to go outside, it's really peaceful...you can only hear crickets, ticking of insects, burning logs. I also love the wind, it's really refreshing. The night is perfect. 

I've been thinking alot until ethan comes to my mind and decided to call him. I check the signal and it only has 2-3 bars... I hope it works. After a several rings, he answered the call. 

"Hello baby! How are you?" What a greetings from him. he continued and bombarded me with many questions.

"Baby... Calm down please, I'm fine, actually I can't sleep. So I've decided to call you. What about you? how's your day?" I ask him.

We keep up with each other and ends the call after the convo. When I'm starting to feel heavy-eyed, I return inside the tent and drift off to sleep.
