This World

Venting

   Ares and Anna sit on the staircase holding a cup of ice cream. Suddenly Ares got a phone call. He picked it up.

   "Hello?"

   "Why, no, stop!"

   Ares hung up the phone and he changed again. He dropped his phone and looks down on the floor. No moving.

   "Hey, who was that. What happened?" Asked Anna worried.

   Anna holds Ares and makes him sit beside her. Anna rubs Ares's shoulder.

   "Again... Another backstabber..." Said Ares sobbing.

   "What?" Anna confused.

   Ares sighed and begin talking.

   "I knew she would break me. But I was stupid enough to keep on trusting her. I-I... I can't make people love me, I can't make people want me... I can't make you like me." Said, Ares. Teardrops roll down his cheek and he started crying.

   "Hey, Ares. It's okay. People do come and goes." Said Anna.

   "To be honest with you, Ares, I actually like-" Anna words was disturbed.

   "I KNOW!"

   "I like you too... But I was afraid that you would break me again..." Said Ares while wiping his tears.

   "It's okay Ares. Let's start it slow. You've been through a lot. So let's start it slow. Okay?" Said Anna after giving Ares a surprise hug.

   "Sure." Answered Ares simple while hugging Anna back.
