I'm rolling over from side to side of my bed feeling a little nauseous, I opened my eyes. I grabbed my phone and it says 8:25 am. Good thing I have a 3-days off this week. "Oww!" I touched my forehead trying to suppress the throbbing pain. I rolled over to my right, and grabbed my med kit. I popped an acetaminophen and gulped down the water from the glass that's been sitting beside my med kit hoping it will give me some pain relief and be able to pull myself up.

15 mins. passed and I can feel myself easing up. I slowly got up and I am walking towards the bathroom when I heard my phone buzz. I didn't mind it though and continued my business.

I am taking a warm shower. I recalled everything that happened last night and remembered how I tried to seduce Gregg. I am glad that he ignored the offer although I am really up for it, tipsy-state aside and give in my v-card.

I slipped into comfy clothes and prepped my breakfast. I grabbed my phone to listen to some music.

"You should change your room's passcode, I can't unmemorise it :)" -Gregg
"Hi! Thank you for bringing me home last night." I replied
"No big!" -Gregg

The weather is nice, the sun perfectly illuminated the surrounding and a slightly warm breeze.
Right now? I am outside my apt. and walking towards the main road to go get some groceries. I am not taking a cab this time.

The store will be a 40 mins walk which is what I needed. It will be an exercise for me. Taking short but brisk strides. I am enjoying the view around me. Buildings and cars to my left and the beauty of green and nature to my right.

The ambiance to my right is so inviting.
So I passed by the park and I can see the bridge that connects to the main road. I'm not in a hurry, I just want to connect myself with the world around me. Taking a step forward to cross it when suddenly... someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the side so we don't block the way. I looked at him, I can feel my heart beating fast from the pressure; still furious of what he did.

-"What do you want?" I asked in an angry tone. -"Let go, you're hurting my wrist!" I managed to swing-free my arm from his hard grasp.

He seemed to be enjoying my reaction. Stupid smirk plastered his face. He has not changed; suddenly, somehow I missed his presence after all he was my best friend.

"Don't I get a hug?" He opened wide his arms and made the gesture. "I missed you Aev." He kissed my forehead. I didn't say a word, I let him hug me and we stood there for few mins not making further movements.

-"I...I need to go." Is all I could utter. I break free from his hug and continued to cross the bridge. I'm almost running trying to make as much distance from the past. My eyes are moist and I'm breathing hard. -"Don't cry, he's not worth it." I comforted myself.
