[ - sophia - ]

After time passes by, it's finally the day where I've gotten the courage to tell Joshua about Ella. I said I'd do it "yesterday" right ?? Apparently, that "yesterday" is like 3 weeks....

I didn't have the courage and I wasn't that much in a stable mood. I don't want anything bad to happen either and I don't want to yell at him out of nowhere since I am short tempered.

He's in the living room right now, so I approached him

"Shua ya" I called him

"Yes ?" Joshua responded as his eyes are still glued on his phone

"Are you... Free ?" I asked, feeling timid.

"I am, why ?" he asked without looking at me

"Can we maybe have a talk for a bit ???" I asked

"Sure sure" he put down his phone as he gestured to sit beside him.

Of course I went to sit beside him. I felt my heart jumping out of my chest. I was really nervous and really scared to bring this topic up...

"What do you want to talk about ??" He asked as he looked at me

"It's... About Ella..." I said as I fiddled with my fingers

"What's with Ella ?" he asked

I was quiet for a bit, doesn't know how in the hell I'd say this nicely ugh

"Remember when you'd always ask if we're ever in a good condition since she seemed to dislike me so much ??" I asked

"Well, yeah. What about that ?" he tilted his head

"Apparently, we hate each other till the point we don't even want to see each other" I said to him

He seemed surprised but at the same time he isn't

"Okay, so your point is ??" he asked, knowing well this isn't what I really wanted to talk about

"Of course I wouldn't hate her without any reason, but I'm not sure about her" I sighed

"What's the reason then ?" he raised his eyebrow

"Well, it's related to why I've never dated anyone anymore after what she had done to me" I said to him

By his face expression, I could tell he doesn't want to believe me but he didn't say anything and would want me to explain more.

"How exactly ?" he asked

"Well, it all started back in highschool. Every relationship I've been in would always end with them leaving me for her. Apparently she just doesn't like it when guys are head over heels with me. She'd make sure I'd suffer for god knows why and even now, it's still happening" I sighed

"She did that ?? I can't believe my ears. It sounded like it was made up" he crossed his arms

I somehow knew this would've happened...

"Well, you weren't in my shoes so you couldn't understand me. I guess it would've been better if I didn't tell you anything" I let out of a sigh
