Raymond Reynolds's POV

Life is a like a heap of moments and memories. Some are happy, some are full of sorrow but most of them are empty. We don't realize what we are missing in that moment. We stop living the moment. All the worries, tension consume our thoughts and we forget to live the moment to its fullest.

I didn't realize what I had, what she meant to me until she was gone.

I miss our late night talks. I miss our study-dates. I miss walking down the hallway holding hands with her. I miss the heat of her body next to mine. I miss her teaching me. I miss spending time with her in the library. I miss her sarcastic comebacks. I miss everything we did. I miss the sparkle in her eyes when she used to talk about her dreams. I miss the taste of her lips on mine.

When I was with her I was me. I didn't care about my bad-boy reputation. I didn't care about disobeying my father.I didn't give two shits about anything in the world. I had no worries.

The only thing which I cared about then was her.

And now here she is. In front of me and I can't even make a move. It's like I'm glued to the ground. I want to talk to her. Apologize to her. Feel her arms around my torso. 

But I'm scared. Scared of rejection. Scared of rejection by her.

Because I know, no matter how much I want her she doesn't want me. It breaks me to know this.

She is still oblivious to what happened seven years ago. She still thinks that I left her on purpose.

After taking a deep breath, I finally made up my mind and forced my legs to make a move. As the distance between us decreased my heartbeat increased. With every step I took, I had to take a deep breath to calm myself.

My steps came to halt as I stood at a good two feet distance from her. Soon she realized my presence and looked up. Her light brown orbs gazed at me.

One glance at me and those beautiful shade of brown eyes knocked off air from my lungs. My heart started doing some crazy dance and a lump formed in my throat. Her eyes widened when the realization hit her and her face radiated pure shock.

"Hey" those words left my mouth while her gaze held mine.

"Hi" she replied. Her gaze holding me captive.

"How ar-" I was cut off by someone.

"Here you are." We both glanced in the direction of the voice.

"Hey, sweetheart." A guy mumbled and then his arms sneaked around Soaf's waist and he kissed her on the temple.

"uuhh...Hey, Justin" she spoke. Her eyes glancing everywhere but me. An uncomfortable aura settled between us.

I felt a pang of jealousy in my chest. My jaw clenched and my teeth gritted.

Of course, she would have moved on. Why would someone like her wait for me? She deserves so much better than me. I was the one who left her, then how can I be so stupid to think that she'll accept me back.

I couldn't handle the view before me. That was the last thing on earth I would think of. My girl in someone else's  arms. I felt anger rising inside me and before I could do any harm I decided to leave.

"I-I'll see you around then?" I asked. I cannot express the amount of pain I was feeling inside my chest.

"I hope not." These words came out of her mouth and she turned around with that guy still holding her waist and then they both went out of the library.

I stood there. Expressionless.

Before she went outside the library I saw her eyes becoming glassy.

Was she crying? I couldn't tell but I sure as hell was about to cry.

I saw her blending with the crowd in the lobby and then disappearing.

She hates me and it hurts.

It fucking hurts.
