Our Story: Love over Friendship

The car went so quiet. I think they're all gone. I peek to check if there's anybody left aside from me. No one. I fix myself then decided to take a short walk.

I walk in the park alone. I think of all the things happened earlier. Did I overreact? I don't have to be like this. I have no right to feel this way. I should be happy for Jane. But no matter how hard I try. I still feel the pain inside me. I felt guilty.

I didn't notice that I am now far from our car. I need to go back. They must be back there. I left my phone in my bag, they can't contact me.

Walking back to where I came from, I saw a*****e selling bracelets. Why I didn't notice this earlier? Maybe I'm really preoccupied. I find the bracelets cute and I decided to buy two. One for me and I'll give the other one to Jane. Though she is not aware, I feel like I did something wrong to her and became unfair.

I felt okay when I arrived in our car. They are not yet here. Where did they go? I checked my phone to see if there is any message for me. I received one message from Jane telling me that they are in the auditorium watching a local band. I am not fond of any band so I replied that I will just stay in the car and wait for them.

After half an hour, they came back. Enough time for my eyes to go back to normal after crying. Jane sit beside me and asked if I had a good sleep. She is happy and told me about the things I missed.

"Yeah, I had a good sleep but I went out for a short walk when I woke up." I told her.

We had a quite and peaceful drive going home. Everyone is tired and sleeping. I looked at Jane, she is sleeping too. I decided to give it to her when we arrive home.

"Jane!"

"Yes?" She said smiling.

"Remember when I told you that I went for a short walk in the park?"

"Yeah."

"I saw this on the way and I find it really cute. I bought one for you as well so we can match."

"Oh my goodness! This is really cute!, Thank you Andie!"

"You are welcome. Let's use it always as a sign of our friendship."

"Of course!"

I feel fine now. Thinking how happy Jane was, I should be happy for her too. Jane is way more important than Shin. And I wil choose our friendship over him.

I went to bed early and disregard the thought of Shin that keeps sinking in my mind. I can do this. We are not going to see each other again anyway. I should focus on what I have now and the friendship I have with Jane.

I kept myself busy by reading books. I don't like to check my IG or my sss. I will definitely see photos and videos of him. I distracted myself till I fell asleep.

And the very person I am avoiding all throughout the day visited me in my dream. The heck!

The next day, mom and I went to go shopping for my upcoming graduation day. I am not in the mood to go outside but mom keeps on insisting.

"We should prepare everything ahead. It's not good to be always on the rush." She said.

While we are walking inside the mall. Mom said that she needs to go to the restroom. I told her that I will just wait for her in my favorite tea shop. I told her the direction and she agreed. I sat in one of their couches in the very corner of the store. I am browsing my phone while I wait for mom.

"Hey.".
