Because Of Her.

03 | Listen to me.

The sound of car honking had me realize that I am walking way close to the road. I shift on the pavement more, barely sparing glance around my surrounding. I feel like a zombie, one who has been into her transformation, not caring what's going around her. The people passes by me, some looking at me with sympathy, some with curiosity and others judgmental over the fact that as to what must have gotten wrong with her to made her look like a lifeless corpse.

How I am here after exiting that elevator is a mystery to me. It seems like a teleportation...wish I could teleport the thoughts in my head, into the unknown. A place where I would never find them, a place where I would never know that again I get played. Played by the same man I have been warned about numerous times.

I don't have any feelings for her. I had to act, to make it look real so she would fall for it.

My sole purpose here is may be Elena but I am not done with her friend. She is going to pay for every slap she hit me with.

I am only dragging her because she is the pawn to catch Elena to have her around me.

It was a lie. It was a bet. Everything was an act. He never had any feelings for me. He never even had anything for me. It was all about Selena. I am just her friend who got played because she happens to be the most stupid person in this entire world or in Liam's word, the girl who slapped him and unknowingly showed him an opening to get his revenge. I was just a medium to get close to Selena so he could get what he yearned for years. Revenge.

She is the pawn.

I was nothing to him. Everything that went down between us in these three months none of it were real. None of it even matters. It was a scheme. Everything was pre-planned. Starting from the act of behaving like my friend, showing his sweet side, taking me to places (the ones I wanted to see), to impress me by telling how well he knows me. To be honest, I thought he did know me but now that I see, I was too blinded by him to not see that he made it look like he knows me. He not only played me, he played with my mind, with my emotions and with my body. He played me. Liam played me. He did all of that just for a bet.

He kissed me because he wanted to take his revenge; he showed me that he cares for me because he wanted to take his revenge. He pretends to like me because he needed his revenge. He played with my emotions every damn time so that he wreck me emotionally and mentally in a way that I only breathe and work just like he wanted too. He made a pawn out of me that only functions for him. He made me feel wanted so he could want me in his own way...he even touched me so I can feel connected in a way I would never feel as if he could never harm me but in reality, he was looking for the timing...the perfect timing of when to harm me in the most brutal way.

And today he did it even if it's unknown to him. Here I am in the condition where I am heartbroken and completely destroyed.

I choke on my tears and drag my body to god knows where. My vision is a photograph of badly shaken up shot. I couldn't see anything, all I am seeing is an outline of pink, red, yellow, blue...all the colors except white because someone has snatched the clearance out of my life. The state I am in right now, I couldn't even tell if it's evening or noon or may be night because all I know is...the morning of this day has ended everything for me.

"Hey, are you okay?" someone says but I didn't know not until a hand touches me. I abruptly shift and aimlessly look at the person who either could be a girl or a boy.

"Uh-your phone is ringing for quite a sometime now." The girl stands right in front of me not doing anything. I stare at her with tearful eyes.

"I think she is deaf." I blink several times to see if I know her or not when she gestures with her pinky finger and thumb, putting against her ear. I also see her lips moving but couldn't quite hear her not until I myself understand what she means.
