Chapter 1:- Broken rings
Annabelle POV
"Congratulation Anna! Finally, you are engaged and not single anymore!". Sofia said.
"I know right, she can finally lose her V with her Mr.Perfect!" Emma said with a mocking tone but still in a friendly way.
I sighed as I listened to them. Today is my engagement night and we are here to celebrate. It was decided by our families when me and James were kids. Of course, our relationship was also great. We have both been together since childhood. You can call childhood sweethearts. Romantic, right? I think so too. But until James starts to act strangely, he gets uncomfortable whenever he is with me. He didn't pick up my call, nor did he reply to my messages. Now he doesn't even care what I eat or what I do. It's like he has become a totally different person. I don't understand him. No, I don't understand why I feel like this!. It was just an arranged marriage decided between our families. There were no feelings in the first place. But I feel like he is not with me, even if I hold his hands. His eyes were not looking at me but finding something else. It's making me more uncomfortable.
"Hey! Annabelle, did you see James? We've been looking for him." Liam asked. Liam is James' best friend who James shares everything with him. I smiled at him. "I think he is in the waiting room. I will go look for him" as I was about to go. Liam stopped me.
"Wait! Anna!"
"Yes, Liam? Do you want something?" I asked.
"I am sorry Anna. Please forgive me." Before could I understand why he was saying it. He left. I sighed as I thought. 'maybe he is drunk'. I left the waiting room. When I pushed the room door lightly, I heard some noises.
' What the!' I blushed out. And cover my mouth with both my hands. 'what the hell are those people doing? Don't they have some manners? At someone else's engagement doing this', I shook my head from side to side as if trying to calm myself down. Before I could think about anything, the noises got more and more loud. 'I think I should leave!'. When I took a step forward, I heard a familiar name. And my heart flinched.
"Hha~ J-James, please.... don't.. it's your engagement ng!" I heard someone saying this. I don't understand how it could even be possible. Suddenly, my head was throbbing in pain. ' No! I am overthinking!'. I bit my lip and let out a disbelieving scoff. Until I heard Him.
"I don't care about anything right now! Do you know how uncomfortable I was just to stand there with her! Sigh! I feel suffocating but now. I have you. So please don't push me away, Rose. I love you! And only you."
When I heard him saying this, the ground beneath my feet was hollow. My heart was pounding. And my eyes became wet. I don't know why I feel like that.
"B-but today is your engagement night. You should be with her, James. And I think we should stop this. You will soon get married to her!. Then what will happen to me?" Rose cried out. Under the surface.
"I will break this engagement, Rose," my mind went blank. 'h-he wants to break the engagement! With me?'.
"Why do you hate her? James. I feel bad for her. I heard she didn't even date anyone other than you." Rose said in a mocking tone.
't-that's right! What about me?'. Clenched my fists.
"I don't know anything about her. And you don't have to care for her. And about dating, she is not even as cute as you. You know what, when I hug her it's like I am hugging a man. Her long hair is more suffocating. She is not my type."
You said you liked it when I hugged you. You said you liked long hair, then short hair. I changed my taste in everything just because you like it. And now you're saying I'm not your type?
"Then what is your type? James."
"My type? Of course. I don't need to tell you. It's in my arms right now. And I can feel it also".
"Ah~ n-not again! Nug!"
"I ..... love you babe!"
I was just feeling disgusting standing there. I left from there without thinking any second.
