🌺25•Ice cream.

Crystal>>

My head snap to my door when I see mom walks in and I lock my jaw.

I look away trying not to grow angry with her presence.

"Crystal.." Mom says as she walks in

"What do you want?" I ask so bluntly as she sighs.

"Crystal... Don't be too upset, I'm not here to ask for forgiveness, i have no right to do so, " she explains as I sigh

"I brought some snacks I made myself for you, you might like them" mom adds dropping the basket on my rug.

"Please stay healthy and safe, and happy too."she says as I shut my eyes and I feel tears finding their way out.

She soon walks out and closes the door gently while I suck in a sharp breath

Looking at the snacks she brought reminds me of my old days when she cared only for Christy and had no affection for me, I always wanted these snacks badly but I never got the chance to have it.

I stand up to walk upstairs to my room when someone opens the door and gets in, pulling back I smile when I see Zach and my mood immediately changes

"Hey..." I smile as I walk to Zach and he hugs me

"Tell me you sit all alone throughout your day?" He asks sternly as I shrug

"Sure, peace of mind" I laugh as he sighs nodding..

"Okay so I came to pick you up, we're having a hangout " Zach says as I flinch

"Hangout... Why..." I ask, so much clueless.

"Just dress up quickly, I'll be waiting" he says as he sits on the sofa waiting patiently.

"Oh..okay" I stutter and hop upstairs to my room

I get to my inner dressing room and select a white camisole singlet and a blue jeans with a Nike shoe.

Tying my hair into a messy bun, I hop downstairs to meet Zach patiently waiting.

"Let's go." He says as soon as I get downstairs

We walk to his car and get in driving to wherever we were going to.

I hope I'll enjoy the hangout though.

Getting to an ice cream place, which was posh, not bad.

"Tell me you want to buy me ice cream?" I chuckle

"No, he wants to buy us ice cream." Zach says pointing to Micah who was seated on a chair by a round table. My heart drops as my eyes meet his and I sigh immediately

Okay.

We walk to the round table and I sit opposite him while Zach sits beside him

"Hey." Micah says as I nod bluntly

"Hi" I reply looking away

But I honestly feel his eyes burning on me.

I hate discomfort.

"Uh...why... Did you suddenly decide on this? What's the purpose?" I ask Zach as he chuckles

"Oh yeah...so you and Micah could make up, you both seem to be on bad terms so I'll leave you to discuss." He explains as I lean my back on the seat my eyes falling on Micah's.
