Chapter 1: No choice.

DYLAN

I was struggling to drag my luggage as I left Maddie's apartment. She was shouting and screaming telling me how unfair I am for leaving her.

"I stuck with you, even if you were a dumbass with no dreams, I can't believe you are leaving me!?" she shouted dramatically. I rolled my eyes, and heaved a sigh. From outside, I spotted Geoffrey laughing at me while he was leaning on his Ducati.

"It's your loss not mine!"

A pair of shoes flew from inside and I gasped when it almost hit the side of my head.

"Calm down, will you!?" I exclaimed.

I sighed aloud when I saw that those were my Reebok Instapump Fury x Vetements Graffiti. I faced her and was shocked to see her eyes smudged with mascara while crying. "Goodness, don't cry. You look hideous." I started, frowning. I really liked the shoes she threw outside; they were like vandalized shoes but they were on fire, I swear.

"You know, Mads, you could find someone better than me—"

"There's no one better than you!" She trailed. I almost threw up when she said that. The audacity of this woman!

My mouth parted and I let out a groan. "Of course, there is Jackson Helms, sure he is better than me. You gave him a reward for passing Harvard, didn't you?" I ironically smiled at her after that sarcastic statement.

She gaped at me and I shook my head. "What do you mean?" she asked.

"I mean, there's someone better than me."

"But..."

"Let's get this over with Mads, I hate when somebody messes with my Vetements, okay?" I said.

"I'm sorry."

"You're not sorry," I cut off. "You don't need to explain, don't worry, I know." I said as I lifted my luggage up, it directly went down the staircase and I heard Geoffrey's laugh from outside. "Piss off!" I yelled. I launched down and reached for the pair of shoes that fell underneath the staircase. "God they are filled with filth." I almost wanted to throw up a tantrum. Geoffrey came near me and held the luggage.

"Brother, you should've stayed in your pad," he stated aloud, making Maddie hear it.

"You have a pad...?"

I grimaced and pushed him jokingly, "Piss off, man. You're not helping." I chuckled.

I carried my luggage and held the shoes. And after that Maddie screamed furiously, Geoff and I looked at each other then we ran to his car as fast as we could. We rushed so quickly that Geoff almost threw my luggage in his compartment as if it was nothing but trash!

"Holy shit, girls are crazy!" he exclaimed.

"Why'd you throw my bag like that?" I complained.

"She didn't know you're a multi-millionaire?" Geoffrey said and I shrugged.

I sneered at him, "You think I'm still a millionaire now? I got disowned." I said.

He nodded and raised his eyebrows then moved his head sideways, "Well, yeah, you have a point."

I was looking outside the window while my thumb was pressed against my lips. I could feel Geoffrey momentarily looking at me while he's driving.

"Piss off Geoff, don't look at me, look at the road." I stated. I heard him chuckling and saw him nod.

The ride was unbelievably short, I kind of want to drive in the city much longer. I was too busy focusing on a black hole inside my chest, you can't see it, but you feel it. It's making me weak and incomplete.
