Getting to know him again[SEQUEL]

Chapter<43>

I pushed my reading glasses to the bridge of my nose and sighed loudly in my chair. I looked around my room and massaged my temples. I closed my laptop after fulfilling the task of today.

It felt lonely without her. She has not spoken more than a few words to me in two days. She's mad that we left her alone at the beach. When she wanted to achieve a milestone in her life, her words not mine. After crying my eyes out at the beach, I had to leave. I ordered a ride to Central Park and spent my day there. My phone buzzed a lot, but I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone.

Stupid me forgot to turn off my location so the girls traced me there. They couldn't scold me when they saw my face. I explained everything that happened and they consoled me. We ended up ordering ice cream as it helps with heartbreak. We even watched a stupid show on Amanda's laptop. I slept at the apartment that day and came back home the next.

Sydney has refused to speak with me and has been sleeping in her room again. She's mad at him, too, and I could work with that. I have kept my distance from him and spent most of my time in my room or trying to get Sydney to forgive me. I didn't know that it meant so much to her but I couldn't stay there afterwards.

I don't like how he destroys me with words. I don't like the way he affects me so much. The way I desperately want to move on but can't. The way I have to continue dealing with heartbreak.

Everything is sickening and frustrating. I pushed my glasses back to my eyes and got up. Guess it's time to beg her again. I put my hair in a messy bun and wore my flip-flops.

I grabbed my little gift and headed to her room. I almost turned back when I saw him in front of her room. I would have if our eyes didn't meet, so I had no choice but to get my legs moving. I tightened my hands round the bag as his eyes dropped to it.

This was all his fucking fault. It's my fault for wanting so much. He can get married to Jia for all I care. They deserve each other.

My stomach twisted and I couldn't imagine them going forward with that.

"Still not talking to you, too?" His voice came up, and I lifted my eyes to stare at him.

I nodded my head, not in the mood to say anything to him. I took deep breaths and raised my hand to knock like I have been doing for the past few days. The door opened, and I almost lost my balance in shock. She stared at us with an unreadable expression and gestured for us to come into her room. I turned to him, and he shrugged. I entered the room first and was enveloped in darkness.

This was more serious than we thought. "I am so sorry, I will do anything for your forgiveness. I didn't mean to but_" I trailed off after realizing he was still with us.

"Can we at least turn on the lights, I can't see anything?" I asked with a sigh.

"You can." She replied, and I tried to look for the switch.

I was just going to locate it using my room's own direction. I turned on the lights and finally saw her sitting on her bed.

"What do you have to say for yourself?" She asked while looking at him.

He was leaning against her wall, staring at nothing. "I had an impromptu meeting. Before you say anything, it couldn't be postponed. I would do another extra day."

I scoffed internally, knowing he was bluffing.

"You bought me something?" She asked, and I saw her looking at me.

I nodded and handed it to her. I bought her sweets, a little mermaid colouring book, and a small surfing board.

"Am I allowed to have this much sweets?" She replied with a look I could decipher. A smile was playing at the corner of her lips.
