I dashed out of a shop without waiting for a second feeling my eyes sting from tears that were threatening to spill any second.
'Where were you all this time? What happened? Why did you disappear all of a sudden?-' his voice stayed in my head through the whole way till I didn't reach my apartment.
It's not his fault to ask those questions, but it hurts me that I don't.. that I can't answer them.
Getting in front of the entrance I turned around myself to look if there was anyone before I reached with my shaky hands and unlocked the door.
Walking in I closed the door behind me making sure to turn the lock, leaning against them I let my tears flow down my cheeks.
"It hurts. It hurts so bad." I mumbled under my breath as I slid down the door and sat on the cold ground. "Why it should have been like this? Why couldn't we have happy ever after like we always wanted?"
I shut my eyes close tightly as memories started to flash in front of my eyes.
Flashback
".. Spero che tu legga il libro per la prossima lezione. Hai ancora tempo, quindi assicurati di leggerlo. Non costringermi a darti un brutto voto per-" teacher was speaking but got cut by the bell ringing loudly causing all of us to release the breath of relief. ("I hope that you read the book for the next class. You still have time so make sure you read it. Don't make me give you bad grade for-")
"Thank God.." I hear a groan from beside me which caused me to turn to face a person.
"It wasn't that bad.." chuckled at Leah's expression.
Her dark curls were all over the place like she was pulling on them during the whole class, while her brown eyes bored into me with a look that says 'are you serious?'.
"He was talking about that book like it is some kind of world treasure and not a book. Is it made of gold or something? I don't get it, it's just a stupid book, there is a bunch of those in a library. He didn't need to talk about just that one through the whole class. And yet he still didn't finish, this was only a prolog of it." She whispers shouted with a look of horror on her face as she stood up from her seat.
"True, but the book isn't that bad.." I mumbled standing up also and pulling my bag from next to my feet so I could put books away. "It is quite interesting and it intrigues the reader-"
"Let me guess you already read the book, didn't you?" Her voice cut me off causing me to look at her and send her an apologetic smile.
"I did."
"Of course you did." Sighing she threw her backpack over her shoulder and waited for me to do the same. "Do you have any plans for today, after school?"
