I couldn't stop thinking about what Zahra said. Not after I went, not while working out, not I met up with Lucas and not during the movie.
I actually like Black Panther but I can't concentrate.
It's 7:55, only 5min left. Should I go there? I feel like she's lying but she looked so confident I don't think even she could lie that good.
What should I do? I'm pretty sure I won't rest until I know.
"If you want we can get out of here. We can eat pizza or anything you want." Lucas dragged me out of my thoughts.
I whipped my head to him confused and then the facts came crashing down.
I was on a date with Lucas.
And he felt my absence of my mind.
Of course he did. We did not even talk about anything since we came here."No umm... I'm sorry I... a lot is going on in my mind." I said my feet restless.
That's it, I'm going.
I stood up without warning which made Lucas look up at me skeptical.
"Lucas I'm sorry... I gotta go. I'll promise I'll make it up to you another time." With that I was gone.
My heart racing secretly hoping that Amir wouldn't be that cruel. Hoping he wouldn't break my heart, something I fear.
Walking turned into running. My feet pounding on on the ground while holding my hijab. I certainly looked like a mad woman.
Thank God the cinema was near the park so I got there fast. My chest rising and dropping, my eyes searched for Amir. And what I saw made me stop.
Halt both my movements and breath.
Amir hugging Zahra. My vision got blurry and a tear escaped from my eyes. Amir was hugging Zahra. My head went blank.
Is this why he's away every night?
I took a step back but my feet collided with a plastic bag that made a loud noise. Amir and Zahra turned to me and Amir's eyes widened.
But I ran away not being able to watch what was happening before me and his reaction. The last thing I saw was Zahra smirking.
I wanted to rip the smirk off her face but it wasn't her fault. It was my fault. Giving him my heart, that was a mistake I dared to make.
