Chpater 21: Everything's Been Bitter

The girl laughed as she edged closer to Harris. She cuddled in his strong arms. Harris looked at the girl intently.

So that’s why he was gone. He has a new girl.

Pang. Why am I hurt? Why does my heart aches this much?

Hey, Cassie, are you okay?

I-I gotta go.

Hey, Cassidy!

I budged out of the movie theatre. I didn’t care where I was going. I didn’t care where my legs would take me. I just have to get out of this place.

It was 11pm. Someone knocked on my door. I didn’t want to answer it.

“Hey, it’s Harris.”

Oh great. The last person I wanted to see right now.

Can you please open up? I want to talk to you.

I didn’t answer him.

Cassidy, please.

Go away.

Please, open the door.

I threw a pillow to the door. Why wouldn’t he stop? He had done enough.

Okay then. Sleep tight, Cassie.

I then heard his footsteps slowly fading away. What’s happening to me? Why am I mad? He didn’t do anything wrong, did he? I was the one to be blamed. It’s because I have fallen deeply in love with him.
