QUINN
It was a play, right? We agreed it was all a deal to free ourselves later. We both agreed to no strings attached right?
I must have a really strong curse when it comes to relationships as they always end the same way.
I remember eight years ago and ten years ago when I had the same fate. The worst was eight years ago, it's always a girl I have never met who somehow manages to ruin my relationship.
My first relationship was with a senior when I was a freshman. He asked me to prom but his girlfriend was introduced to me the night before prom. I must have been stupid to think he would go for someone like me, then I had braces and my curly hair was always puffy. I wonder if he was just being nice and it was all my imagination making me think he wanted to be more than friends.
I shouldn't even call that a relationship, it was more like a fairytale that ended in tears.
Eight years ago was my worst experience. I had to find out from his mother, yes his mother. I was still in shock from everything that was happening when his mother dropped the bomb. I remember her thick British accent dripping from her voice as she said, "It's all your fault, I'm never going to let you near him. I'm going to get him married to you know who."
It felt like my heart was pulled out from my chest once she said that. It turns out that she wanted him to get married to her friend's daughter. That was her fairy tale that also ended in tears.
And now a relationship which should have never started is repeating the same brutal fate.
"I'm his Fiancee."
"That's too far... you can't hurt Quinn's feelings like that...watch it," Harry pouted coming to my view, as he stared down the blonde who rolled her eyes.
It still felt like the air was sucked out from my lungs. But I know for sure, that Ace wouldn't be so brutal to hide such a thing.
"Where's your ring?" I finally had the courage to say. She scoffed and shifted her weight from her left limb to her right. She seemed like those girls who have been spoilt their whole life.
"We haven't exchanged rings yet, but everyone knows we are together. But you're sticking to us like a disgusting gum."
"Kim Na young, cut it," Ace finally said, getting up from the couch. I felt like the odd one out there, there's just this feeling that swirled around in my stomach.
Ace turned his gaze to me and I made sure to hold it. "Ace, who is she?" I asked, locking my eyes in his.
"She's...."
"She's what?" I breathed.
"She's a childhood friend."
"Whom he is going to marry," The girl perked up before I could say anything. Ace instantly let out a hiss and turn to her with a burning gaze.
"Who said you're getting married? He's dating Quinn who wouldn't date Quinn over you," Harry said and turned to me with a cute smile.
"Shut up Harry." She glared at him.
"Nana, you should leave," Ace stated, getting a handbag on the chair and handing it to her.
She pouted and turned to him. "I can't leave like this. I'm finally back from korea, I know I was gone for long and you dated a few girls and broke up with them. Can't you do the same to Quinn, she's just one of them-"
"Stop it!" Ace said, through gritted teeth once she said the last statement.
That's the last straw.
I felt my hands turn into a fist, one thing is to think about it and another thing is to spill out the disgusting thought no one wants to hear.
I immediately turned on my feet and walked out of the apartment, just at the time I opened the door, Carl was at the other side of the door. He looked at me before realization dawned on him and he cursed before going into the room. I held my head high and walked to the elevator.
I can't believe I had to experience such a thing. I got into the elevator and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
I mean what was I thinking? Maybe we should call it off now, hasn't it been a month now. My phone began buzzing again and turned it off.
The elevator door opened and the cold air hit me, I was about to walk out without giving a glance at the figure in front of the elevator. When the person called my name.
"Quinn?" His masculine voice boomed, I lazily looked up as I walked out of the elevator and paused when I saw his face.
My legs turned to jelly and my heart seemed to stop beating, I seemed to be in a kind of vacuum. The elevator closed behind me just in time as he flashed me a smile that was too familiar it made my heart crack.
I tried to talk but I couldn't make out any words. Am I dreaming? He couldn't be here. It has happened only twice why would I be imagining him again. But how could he be here? No this is too strange to be true.
I remember his wavy brown hair which I loved running my hands through and his bluish-green eyes which I love getting lost into. His eyes were the only ocean I would drown in and feel alive. Again am I dreaming?
He kept on staring at me with his familiar grin on his face. "I missed you," He finally said, but in my ears, it seemed like he said it from a distance and it echoed bouncing against the walls.
My heart started beating again at the sound of his voice, my blood raced to my face and my hands began trembling. Then it happened the tears began cascading down my cheeks, almost blurring my vision.
I finally had the strength to talk.
"Dylan?"

I watched as Quinn walked out of my view, I couldn't stop her because even if I did I have no words to explain right now. I let her leave and now I know the worst is here to come.
"Seriously, you made her leave!" Harry sneered at his sister, who let out a breath of relief.
I noticed that her eyes suddenly rolled back, her hands went to her head and her legs gave up on her. I immediately caught her before she could fall and held her. "Nana, Na Young what's wrong?" I asked alarmed and Harry immediately rushed to my side.
"What happened here?!" I heard Carl's voice boomed from the front door.
"Nana!" Harry bellowed beside me, she had gone unconscious and was weak.
"Get me water," I said to Harry who immediately went to get it without waiting for another second to pass.
Carl stared wide-eyed at the scene before him with worried eyes. I kept Nana's bag under her head and checked for her pulse. Soon enough Harry was back with a bowl of water.
I subtly cursed as her pulse was weak, but luckily still there. I removed my watch swiftly as I stood up and removed my coat.
I got a napkin from the kitchen and dipped it into the bowl, squeezed it, and used to gently clean the beads of sweat that at formed on her forehead.
"We should go to the hospital," Carl said.
"No, I'll call our doctor here. We can't go to the hospital," Harry said, holding Nana's hand.
I nodded not wanting to interfere in whatever the issue might be. Harry held his sister's hands tightly before going to make the call.
I carried Nana and was about to take her to the room when Carl spoke.
"Not to your room."
I chuckled and turned to him. " Look around I'll obviously have more than one room." I laughed, sarcastically.
"We don't know if they have a plan with this."
"I've known Nana before I met you. I'm the only one who has the right to say something like that." I didn't wait for him to reply before I continued to take her to my room.
I laid her on the bed and used the duvet to wrap her, a feeling of nostalgia washed over me as I remembered doing this to a certain woman with black curly hair and honey brown eyes.
I went to the curtains to close them. I can't stop thinking about that certain woman. What she's doing? What she's thinking? Who is she meeting? What's her past?
The sound of the rain beating the earth erupted, waking me up from the trance I was stuck in. I looked up and saw the rain beating the glass wall incessantly, it almost sounded like music in my ears. I kept the neck of my white turtle up to my chin and rested my hands in my pocket as I enjoyed the scene.
I let out a breath, Quinn I hope you're okay.
My thoughts seemed to wash away with the sound of the rain. A smile crept up my face as I thought of doing a really childlike act. I breathe with my mouth open again the glass and took my hands to the glass, I drew a little heart and smiled.
I kept my hands back into my pocket with a smile still on my face as I took my gaze to the little heart.
