"You have been very rude." She corrected me. "Okay, I have been very rude but that's not the point. She knows I'm doing it for her. Why the hell can't she get that?" "I don't blame her for this, Sean. You were being unreasonable to her." "Mom, not you too. You know I care a lot about her. That's it exactly why I'm doing this." "I am not denying that you don't care about her. It's just that you care a lot about her. It's not healthy for any relationship. You are way too demanding. " "Mom, you really think it great to fight over a freaking friend?" "Exactly. It is not even a valid excuse to fight over something. Then why are you making a fuss out of it? Why can't you just let it go." "I can't mom." "Why the hell not?" "Because she is acting like miserable. She's sick." "And what is that sickness that is making you act like the world's coming to an end?" I didn't reply with the same speed I did for her past comments. "Sean." My mom breathed out. "I know you care about her. You

Sapphire I thought I'd never hear those words, considering where they're coming from. "I'm sorry." He said. His voice was low and even. In the still night that was the loudest noise. Through those words came following the expressed guilt. "I've been everything that you've blamed me of. Today, I did over react on certain things. What didn't require such adverse attitude had been handled wrong. And I'm sorry for that." "It wasn't your fault entirely. I've been unreasonable too." I said, "Can I ask you something? But you have to honest with whatever you have to say." "Proceed." "Why were you so mad at me? I know I was being unreasonable but you never speak to me like that." Sean had no answer. Though I couldn't see him, I knew he was struggling to come up with a response. "It's late, pretty girl. We'll talk tomorrow." He said. I got up from his chest. "We have to talk, Sean. And it's going to happen now. Please, I can take it. Just tell me what that matter is." "You have enough

Sapphire I woke up with a groan as the blazing sound of the alarm entered into my ear. I roughly ran my palm over the duvet to find my phone. When I did finally find it, I turned it off and threw my head back on the mattress. Today, I'm finally going back to school after a week. Exhaustion slowly started to kick in when I thought about all the work that I have pending. I couldn't comprehend what my brain would do to resolve the mess that I made. I slowly dragged my body up and sat up. I groaned once again and and went to the bath room. I had my time and got ready. I left my hair open because I remember Sean saying he likes it if my hair is that way. Okay, not just because of that but also that I just want it today. I quickly had my breakfast and threw my bag over my shoulder and grabbed my phone. Sean was picking me up today so I waited for him. As I waited for him, time just flew. It was fifteen minutes past the usual time he'll be here. So I called him. After several rings, he

Sean I tapped my foot against the accelerator of my car. The cool air was filling the car and I smelled my own cologne in it. I was looking at the traffic signal to turn green and allow me to go past these vehicles. I sighed as I thought of what happened back there. I left the cafeteria early to deal with Parker. After finishing my business with him, I went back to the cafeteria and looked for Sapphire. She wasn't there. I checked the library and other places but she wasn't found. Nina checked the washroom but damn, she was completely out of our sight. She had history next so went there to check but surprisingly, she wasn't there. I sent her multiple message, which were obviously not answered. I later learned that she waz not in school. I was mad. I was angry too, she couldn't just skip classes and leave. She knows Parker and all are in the school and they can do anything to her and she's not bothered about it. I thought she'd go home but I wasn't sure. I didn't want to cause a

After a few days. I was back to my home after school. I had managed to submit my projects and assignments and took the quizzes and tests that I'd missed. My grades have fallen back to normal. I was doing well in chemistry and my teacher was pretty pleased. All these days, I tried to forget everything that happened to me in the past few weeks. I succeeded in my attempts. I was good at getting over this pretty easily because I knew there wasn't any possibility of hope. Hope is merely a word that makes people trust in false beliefs. It's a barrier that stops you from moving on. All these days, I haven't caught sight of Sean. He didn't turn up to school. And he didn't call. Brett occasionally talks to me about Sean's progress in health. He was doing well. And Sean heard a different story from his family. They told them I didn't want to see his face anymore since I still hate him. I wasn't shocked at that one. He has to move on too. And maybe, his family might have gotten nothing el
