Imagine loving someone who hated you, someone who loathed the very essence of your being, but... because of something you didn't do but had to take the blame for to protect the one who did. But then they too begin to hate you, even after everything you've done.
You gave it all up, but then they tossed you away and stole the only thing you had left to love? Even after you move away, your past comes back to haunt you, clinging to you and clutching your heart and squeezing it, leaving you bleeding inside.
Every day of your life you've lived for someone who used you, and just as your about to drown in your own despair, the last person you ever expected comes to your aid ⛑️

"Reina! Reina how could you? After everything I did for you? Why?!" I yelled 😭
"You pathetic little thing," she cooed. "You actually took the blame for it? I can't believe how easy it was to get him to hate you!"
She clapped her hands like an eager child.
My eyes froze.
"Get him to...hate me?" I asked in bewilderment.
"Of course. This has been a part of my plan since the day I first layed my eyes on you, the day he showed interest in you, and it became my mission to destroy you. Consider this your fault for being so damn pretty. You were a good friend though, and you listened. So, consider yourself lucky that you were privileged enough to be called my friend, let alone even know me."
The tears started to fall, and I could no longer hold back my sobs.
"I guess you'll have to move now or something, so I wish you good luck. Have fun making friends, okay bestie? Love you babes, gotta go. My future boyfriend awaits me. Thanks again !"

An internal voice whispered, "Call him."
But I chose not to.
I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway."
Yet the dilemma lingered.
"But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different."
Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine.
I averted my gaze, pretending to look around.
"Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god."
