The sounds of my alarm blared throughout the room. Slowly my eyes flutters open and see that the sun is on its way up from the horizon. My head is pounding, maybe because the amount of alcohol I've consumed last night. Soon the realization of the break up cam washed over me. I don't know why it actually hurts, even though I feel the same way about the relationship after Edwin said those things that made me thought about it.

I tried to look normal last night, I don't want to break down in front of the guests because that was too dramatic. I tried to hold back my tears and drown my emotion with the wine instead or was it champagne? I forgot. I know that he didn't actually said that he wanted to break up with me, he just said that it's better if we both take a break. There's still hope, right? But somehow, I feel like there's no hope at all. I hate uncertainty, that's why it's better for us to break than do this long distance relationship which only made me wonder about the uncertainty of it, at least that's what I thought.

I tried to get up from the bed slowly because of the headache that running through my head right now. I saw Nick still sleeping on the sofa in the corner of the room. I went to the mini pantry in the room and made a cup of coffee for myself. I sipped it down slowly while glancing back and forth towards the beach.

I decided to take a shower before Nick woke up from his sleep. As I made it to the bathroom, I stripped down my dress from last night, turned on the music on my phone then got straight in to the shower. I turned the water on and set it to hot.

"Ow ow, that's way too hot." I jumped a bit when the hot water hit my back. I adjusted the water once again. Once it's not too cold and not too hot, I started to shower. I sang along to the song that's currently playing. I know that I don't have the nicest voice but I just love singing along, so beware to all of the people who stood near me while I'm singing.

After I finished my shower, I wrapped myself with the towel and walked out of the bathroom, assuming that Nick was still asleep. And as always my assumption was wrong. Nick was wide awake on the sofa with eyes glued to his phone.

"Thank god you're done." Nick remarked. "The first window nearly cracked because of your 'amazing' voice" He air-quoted the amazing part.

"Well, I'm sorry the master of singing who has a voice like an angel...." I said in sarcasm.

"Well thank—" I cut him off right away before he could finish the sentence.

"Who says I'm done talking?" I raised my eyebrows. "As I was saying, you sound like an angel... who fall from heaven while smoking a blunt."

"Still, I'm an angel." He smirked and got up from his seat. To avoid things happen, like embarrassing myself, I quickly took a pair of floral jumpsuit and my undergarments from the suitcase then went back to the bathroom.
