Chapter 13 🌹 Emotional Troubles II

Song : sunflower by post Malone and Swae lee
I was speechless. All  X messages on calming down, breathing in and out flew out of the window leaving a fast beating heart me, a trembling body me, a trying to hold the tears down me.

My mind tried whispering calming words but am deaf now. No!

"Sica? You here?"

My brain just die at the sound of voice. Oh I missed it. Am I hallucinating? Somebody help me.

Leave.

Yea!

Without saying anything, I manage to move my shaking body to the door but he grabs my wrist.

"Sica Pls wait. Listen to me, I have explanations"

This time I couldn't take it anymore, "explanations huh? You want to explain why you hooking up with my best friend? I don't need to hear any of your explanations" I say with tears rolling down my eyes, I wish my voice was convincing. I try to avoid eye contact because he still has huge effect on me.

"Sica pls-"

"LET ME GO!" I screamed till my throat burned. Everything hurts. I didn't care this isn't my house. Gone are the days when I do things to impress his family.

Kelvin flinched and I saw his eyes gathering tears. I hurt him. It made me mad. I should be the one angry. I should be the one-

"you have to listen to me Sica. Pls I..."

I didn't bother listening to the rest I left the house, the rain has stopped. Tears filled my vision as I continued walking despite hearing shouts from Kelvin to stop. I didn't. I can't go back to that house. I can't go back to him. I can't.

I wipe the tears away but the more I wipped the more it came. Hot tears burnt my cheeks but my whole body hurts. I was sure am going to fall or something would happen to me then I  heard, "sugar plum".

Right timing.

I blinked away the tears and focus on the voice of the the one person in this whole wide world that calls me sugarplum.

My dumb sugar ferry friend. X.

I sobed and ran to him and pulled him into a hug. Finally giving one of his bone crushing bear hug.

"oh God! Sugarplum..." he started saying soothing words and gently taping my back but I held on to him like he was oxygen but my real oxygen left me. How I survived I don't know.

                 **KELVIN'S POV**
It hurts. All hurts. I regret it okay! Everyone gives me this face each time I walk by, like I killed someone. I killed someone. I killed the old Sica. Gosh I missed her.

When she screamed earlier arouse a weird sensation. I wanted to cry. Hell I cried. I regret it.

Stupid! Stupid!! Stupid!!!

But I wanted to explain why I did it. I was too scared and a coward to tell her and Davina saw it then used it against me.

What hurts the most?

Seeing her cry. Watching her leave. Listening to stories of how miserable she has become because of me and most importantly seeing her in another guy's arms.

I watch as the guy called her, "sugar plum" and immediately she stopped her tracks. I was about to run to her and give her a hug because I know she can't resist that. I know she's not over me. She didn't even give me a chance to say am sorry. But she ran instead into his arms.

My mending heart crushed.

Yeah! Taste of your own medicine.

My body felt weak. She tightens her hug and held unto him like if she'd leave him she'd die. I stood there and watched as the guy kept whispering things to her and stroking her back then suddenly, we make eye contact.
