Sandra quickly drove home as tears freely fell from her eyes like waterworks. She couldn't believe that her birthday was ruined once again. All she wanted was to break her facade and be her, be happy for one day and her obnoxious neighbor just had to ruin it. Her hands tightly grabbed her wheels as his words replayed in her head.  

"I DON'T GIVE A SINGLE FLYING SHIT IF THE REASON YOU ACT SO ARROGANT AND ALMIGHTY IS BECAUSE YOUR PRECIOUS BOYFRIEND CHEATED AND DUMPED YOUR HIGH MAINTENANCE SELF OR SOMETHING.", it kept echoing in his head. Every memories that she had locked away from eight years ago this very day came rushing back.

The moment Andrew confessed that he cheated on her, Mariah being pregnant, Andrew killing himself, Mariah eventually killing herself, the way others had mercilessly taunted her as a murderer, the way she distanced herself from her family and became immersed in isolation. All these memories were as fresh as yesterday.

A new set of tears rolled down her cheeks as her heart constricted in pain. Who was this man and why did his words hurt so much? This was the first time that she has cried in over seven years and it hurt so much. All she wanted was to have a night for herself and he just had to ruin it. 

She reached her home and she parked the car just outside it. With frustration, she took out her heels, kicked the door open and threw them away in anger. "Ouch", she heard a deep male voice yell. Her head snapped back to behind her and she caught side of her obnoxious neighbor, holding his crotch and wincing in pain.

"That. Hurt. A. Lot. Woman. I know you're angry, but damn. Why did you have to hurt my family jewels? I would like to have kids someday you know.", he said with clenched teeth. That woman was certainly feisty, he told himself mentally.

Instead of feeling guilt, Sandra began to laugh heartily as she took in the exhilarating scene in front of her. "Oh. God is great!", she said sarcastically as she wiped away her dried tears.She was still hurting but she pushed it to the back of her mind.

She refused to break down in front of this vile man. Her facade was built again  stronger than ever as she looked at him with a smirk. Nathan ignored his pain as he remembered the reason he was here. He looked at her brown eyes and the redness on it indicated that she had cried a lot. He mentally punched himself as he walked towards her while smiling nervously.

Sandra crossed her arms and glared daggers at him as he stood just four inches in front of her. 

"What are you doing here?", she asked him coldly. He looked at her apologetically as he stared at her face. "I just...I want to apologize for my behavior previously. This is not how I usually am, I swear! I was having a bad day today and you know I just snapped.

I swear I didn't mean the words I said. You are so much more than that. You don't know how guilty I am. I am not very good at doing this, am I? I really mean this, I am sorry.", he said the last part quietly as he stared at the ground, embarrassed.

He still couldn't believe that he had a made a girl cry, especially on her birthday and seeing her tears made him feel like a piece of vile scum. Sandra stared at him dumbfounded, He came here to apologize? She certainly wasn't expecting that. Not that she was about to forgive him anyways.

"Go away jerk. Saying sorry cannot undo the words you said.", she snapped and walked away to her house. Nathan watched her from behind as he scolded himself for screwing up everything. He wanted to apologize, maybe take her out for dinner and get to know her a bit. Just before she closed her house door, he jogged over and placed his feet in between the door, to prevent it from closing.
