Chapter 4

"Hey, hungover idiots. Eugene's sick," Mia says when we met in the lobby.

"What are we doing today?" Zach ask, "surfing." Jordan replied.

"Avery isn't coming," she then added. "Sorry," I apologize. "Why do you keep saying sorry?" Mia ask.

I shrug in response in I don't know. "Okay, come on! Let's get our surfs up!" Jordan shouted, making people look at all of us.

"Oops." Jordan walks out quickly, "you sure you're not coming?" Erwin ask me.

"Yeah I am sure," I reply with a slight smile.

;

I knock on Eugene's room door, "it's open!" He shouted.

I open the door, "hey." I step in. "Oh hey," Eugene is in his bed.

"How are you feeling?" I ask, "not really good but okay." He replies.

"Do you need anything?" I ask, "not really."

"Thank you by the way," I say, talking about last night. "You're welcome." He smiles slightly. I sit by the window, "did I say something stupid?" I ask.

"Do you want to say something to me?" He then ask, with a cocky smile.

"No.." I lied, mumbling. I lean against the wall, "well you need to tell me something." He says.

I was fiddling with my hoodie, I am feeling so nervous.

"Avery, did you report to the police?" He ask.

I shook my head in response.

"Okay, did you tell somebody besides me?" He then ask.

"No." I muttered, "okay. Do you want to tell how it happened?" He ask.

"Er, I was walking in the park. I was alone and he attacked me and I couldn't fight him because I am weak."

"Do you know who he is?"

"No." I replied.

Then there was silence but it isn't an awkward silence.

"I would you ask you to lay beside me but I don't want you to get sick." He says.

"I wouldn't mind but you're engaged." I point out.

"Yeah.." He slides his hand down his face. "Come here," I made my way over to him slowly.

"Avery, are you mad at me?"

"No."

"Do you know what I am talking about?" He asks.

"Yeah." Sadly I do.

He then put his hand on my cheek, "I missed you."

Then I let out a shaky breath, "I missed you too, a lot."

He then smiles slightly, we didn't say anything much then.

Just comfortable silence.

I went to a small market that is nearby the hotel to buy some stuff for myself, souvenirs for my brothers and steaks.

 I got back to the hotel, bumping into Mia in the elevator. 

"So erh, you play basketball?" She asks, "erh yeah kinda of." I mumbled. 

"Eugene talked about you a lot, you know." She says.

He talks about me. 

"Firstly I think about how much of a slut you are but then you're just another weak bitch." 

What. 

I didn't even did anything. 

Oh right, but she doesn't know right?

We reach our floor and she walks quickly - in style - to her room. I went to my room and put my things on the table. "Hey! Where did you go?" Jordan ask, "I just went to get some stuff for my brothers." I replied. 

"Oh, you bought steaks." 

"Yeah, don't touch them." I warn her, she lets out a laugh. "So we haven't talk in a while," she says. 

"Erh yeah, I guess." I mumbled, shrugging. She sat down beside me, "so you're still in love with Eugene?" She asks. 

"Nope." I replied, with no emotion at all. 

"Really?" 

"Yeah, really." I then let my hair down, "do you miss him?" She ask. 

"Of course, I miss all of you guys." I stated. 

"No, like miss him. Like when you cry yourself to sleep or something?" My heart suddenly accelerated. 

"Maybe." I mumbled, "oh." 

"What's with all this questions?" I ask, "well, clearly you still like him." 

"Give me time, I will get over him." I say. 

"You haven't anwer my question, Jordan." I say, sitting on the bed. The smell of steaks filling the room. 

"Well, me and Mia are having a sleepover tonight. So Eugene's gonna come here." 

"Jordan!" My eyes widen, "it's gonna be fine. Besides he's sick," she says. 

"Mia hates me." I stated, hugging my pillow. 

"No, she doesn't. You're thinking about it too much." She says, sitting on her bed. 

"Erh yeah okay, I am thinking about it too much." I say in a sarcasm tone. 

; 7.36pm 

"Hey," Eugene walks past me and sits on Jordan's bed. "Okay, night guys." Jordan says. "Have fun," I say to her. 

She closes the door and I sit on my bed. "What's that smell?" Eugene ask. 

"Steaks." I replied, "where is it?" 

"In my stomach." He chuckles lightly at my response, "you look beautiful. You should put your hair down before?" 

"What? I am not beautiful with my hair tied up?" I shot back. 

"Er no!" He shuts his eyes, I laughed. "I am just joking," I say. 

"Thank you." I say, he smiles and nods.

"did you tell the guys about Isaac?" He ask, "yeah. And Chloe," I say in a low tone. 

Then it went silent, this time it's awkward. 

"Do you want to go for a walk?" He ask, I look at him. "Come on, it's been a year." He says, getting up. "Okay.." I grab my rubber band. 

"Put that down, let your hair down for a while." He grabs my hand and pull me out. 

Why do we miss a person? 
It's either because we realize that we never treasured the moments when they were always there and it left us wishing we could turn back in time again. 
Or we were too happy with them, we enjoyed every single moment, that we became so used to the idea of having them around.
