THE NEXT DAY
HELLEN'S POV
*Ever since this morning Angel has been acting weird and restless, she kept checking the time, walking around here and there or else running around, and when I asked her whether everything was fine she gave her iconic reply.*
Angel: I don't know.
Hellen: *sighs* OK then let's drop the shopping plan.
Angel: WAIT NO.
Hellen: oh OK ok, calm down kiddo.
Angel: *takes deep breathe*
Hellen: do you feel better now??
Angel: definitely.
Hellen: OK then let's go.
Angel: hmm.
*I was about to drive but Angel offered to drive this time.*
Hellen: wait this is not the right way.
Angel: we are going to the Haze mall unnie.
Hellen: oh why there though.
Angel: because I want to go there.
Hellen: if you say so.
*we were already here*
Hellen: so let's go find a dress for you first??
Angel: wait no, you said you had to buy groceries too.
Hellen: yeah but I can get those later when we are done with yours.
Angel: it's fine unnie, we don't have much time left too, so let's split up.
Hellen: call me if you're confused about anything.
Angel: sure.
*just like Angel had suggested I went to the groceries store right inside the mall on the second floor.*
*I took the list I had with me out and started searching for the things I had written down, and just because I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings I had bumped onto someone's hard chest.
Even after these many years I still blame my height for my clumsiness.*
Hellen: am so sorry, I wasn't loo-......YOU.
Stranger: yes me and you. *smirks*
Hellen: ef my life.
Stranger: I don't know Hellen but you for sure give me the vibes.
Hellen: what vibes??
Stranger: that you like to bump onto me, is it you're secret hobby or some.
Hellen: yeah keep dreaming.
Stranger: why should I when it's the reality.
Hellen: are you always this annoying?
Stranger: only choosen one gets to see this side.
Hellen: yeah whatever, what are you doing here.
Stranger: I came here for shopping with my-
Hellen: yeah i know.
Stranger: huh??
Hellen: nothing, anyways am on hurry Mr.stranger therefore I have to get going, I will see myself out, enjoy your date.
*I heard him mumble something but I wasn't able to understand what he said and I just left from there.*
STRANGER'S POV
*since when did people start going on dates for grocery shopping.*
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY
*FEW HOURS BACK*
Stacey: REALLY you guys couldn't stay back there in Canada itself, why did you all come here.
Ryan: I missed my girlfriend, couldn't stay away from her.
*he went towards Nicole and pecked her cheeks.*
Nicole: awww.
Stacey: bruh and what do you 3 have to say.
Jasmine: it's not like you guys missed us too 💀.
Stacey: *laughs*.
Evan: I was bored back there so I joined Ryan.
Jasmine: and what about you two??
BACK TO THE MALL
HELLEN'S POV
Hellen: I know that you're still following me dude.
Stranger: I wasn't planning on hiding too.
Hellen: what is it??
Stranger: nothing, just felt like it.
Hellen: what about your date??
Stranger: oh about that you don't have to worry.
Hellen: why would I be worried about your dates.
Stranger: ofcourse why would you be, but you for sure are interested in my dating life.
Hellen: I don't remember asking you about you're dating life.
Stranger: but you did assume that I was on a date which I wasn't.*smirks*
Hellen: I have 0 energy in me to argue with you.
Stranger: well I don't know about me but you for sure have to prepare yourself to argue with a huge crowd.
Hellen: what do you mean??
Stranger: *smiles* look on the left side, a group of people are staring at you, specially that tall guy at the back, looks like he is ready to chop my head off.
Hellen: how did they find me here.
*all of them came towards me and stood still and none of them were ready to start a conversation expect.... .*
Stranger: Hey people, does my girlfriend have something that belongs to you guys??
Xavier: she for sure doesn't have anything that belongs to us but you for sure do.
*he went towards Mr.starnger and pulled him daringly by his shirt collar.*
Stranger: damn man I've never seen any guy volunteering to get beaten by me, am impressed.
Xavier: yo-
Hellen: XAVIER, BACK OFF.
Stranger: calm down babe.
Hellen: shut up.
Stranger: my poor self.
Jasmine: Hellen we are here just so we can talk.
Hellen: if so then ask xavier to leave.
Xavier: *sighs* but I want to talk to you.
Hellen: I will let you know when I want to have that conversation with you but leave for now.
*xavier seemed sad by my words but didn't argue anymore and left from here.*
Stranger: it was nice meeting you guys, but I have to be somewhere right now.
Jasmine: yeah sure Carry on.
*him being a tease he didn't leave just like that, not without triggering me for last time for the day.*
Stranger: *whispers* bye Hellen it was nice seeing you again.
*he winked and left again just like the first time*
Stacey: so??
Hellen: wait in the nearest cafe I will be there soon.
Jasmine: stop ignoring us already.
Hellen: am not, I will have to inform Angel first she might be waiting for me.
Stacey: check your phone first.
*I was confused at first but then everything made sense, Angel Brought me here so that I can see them and talk it out and she left to another mall with Damon for shopping and said that she would be back next morning.
I replied her back and said she was in trouble for helping them but secretly I was thanking her.*
Hellen: lets go.
*after few minutes*
Jasmine: I want to talk to her first.
Stacey: ok, we will be with the guys.
*and they left me and Jasmine to be.*
Hellen: why didn't silas join you guys, is he still pissed off for what I did.
Jasmine: we broke up.
Hellen: He cheated on you right??
Jasmine: you knew about this before??
Hellen: nah, if I did I would've exposed him long back.
Jasmine: then how did you guess it right??
Hellen: I always hated him and I had predicted this I guess
Jasmine: am sorry.
Hellen: I get it we were all rational at that time, but what I went through gave me scars and they can't be healed just like that but.
Jasmine: but??
Hellen: am not sure whether am ready to forgive you all just yet, but I wouldn't stop myself from giving you guys second chance cause if I didn't then it would be selfish of me
Jasmine: does that mean you will be back??
*later I spoke to all 3 of them and they agreed with my decision too and promised eachother that we would still be the same as before the fight took place and promised to meet very often.*
*and it was time to solve the last problem.*
Xavier: who was the guy with you before??
Hellen: am not here here to talk about him, its about us.
Xavier: listen Hellen I-
Hellen: let me finish first.
Xavier: hmm.
Hellen: lets not keep waiting for eachother Xav, I've moved on and am sure you have too, it's not like you stopped playing around with girls even after I left right.
*at this point xavier looked really guilty*
Hellen: we aren't meant to be, even you weren't sure about your feelings, you've always given me mixed signals which drove us both crazy and now we are here.
*silence took over us*
Hellen: am really happy with his new change in my life xav, I don't want to go back to the past, am sure you will find the person you deserve to.
Xavier: is this all because of that guy??
Hellen: no, I don't even know his name.
Xavier: *smiles* well he looked like a great guy for you.
Hellen: oh please he is so annoying.
Xavier: *laughs*.
Hellen: *smiles*
Xavier: even though am not OK with this decision , am sure this is the right one, it's better for us to be just friends huh??
Hellen: hmm.
Xavier: OK then carry on Len good luck with your life.
Hellen: thank you.
*we spoke about random things for few more minutes and then said our goodbyes and left*
*after today I understood that "Holding onto something thinking that it belongs to us even from the odds doesn't really mean that something is actually made for us even if it does seem to be."*
*it wasn't the only think that I learned from our story but also that "This is not the end, its just the beginning of something new and special."
