That's Us

Where it started

I removed my hand from being held by Brandon and he looks upon me. Lucas is with that girl again. He smiled and sarcastically asked, “So, is he the one?” tears welled up in my eyes while saying, “I-it’s not what you think.” I was about to walk towards him but Brandon held my hand and tried to stop me. His face becomes serious as he held my hands and asked, “What are you doing?!” My tears started to fall and I looked at Brandon’s eyes. I removed my hand and walked towards Lucas. With teary eyes, I told him “L-Lucas…it’s not what you think." While I'm trying to hug him but he refused to touch him. The girl beside him caught my attention, "W-who is she?” - I said 

That girl beside him raises her one eyebrow and said with attitude, “I’m his girlfriend! Who are you??” And look at me from head to foot. I look at them and I wasn't shocked anymore to knew that he's cheating on me but I still tried to ask Lucas, "Do you really don't love me anymore? What did I do?" I can feel the embarrassment because of the people coming in and out to the restaurant are looking at me. 

Lucas confidently replied, “Since it seems we both have our new partners, I think it’s time for you know.” and let out a heavy sigh.

Again, I tried to hold him for him to listen to me, “W-wait. H- he’s n…”

But before I continue to say what I’m going to say, Brandon grabbed my shoulder. and look at me. I know he feels pity for me. But I'm shocked to hear what he said, “So, is he Lucas?” He laughed and gave me a glance. He continued, “He’s not that handsome as what you used to tell me. And his new girlfriend…hmm what are you? Are you a pedophile?” he asked Lucas arrogantly.

The girl looked shocked and Lucas was about to punch Brandon but before his hand land on Brandon’s face, Brandon suddenly grabbed his bicep and punch him towards his stomach. He shakes his hand and says, “That’s nothing compare to what you did to Jane.” He straightens his body and said, “Come! Let’s just find another place.”

He shook off his clothes and walked away. Brandon waved his hand as a signal that he wants us to leave the place.  I stood straight and look at Lucas lying on the ground holding his stomach while succumbing to pain.

“Come!!” Brandon angrily screamed and invited me to leave. I wiped my tears and turn my back I started walking and still can’t believe that our relationship already ended.

As we cross the quiet road, He broke the silence and said, "I know you're not fine. You don't need to keep it within yourself. Feel free to cry." with a gentle voice. I pause and said, “Please, Let's just go to my car. I want to go home.” as if I were weak in speech and it seems I was lost in the trance. He calmly replied, “Okay.”

Brandon drove fast and brought me to my car. Nervously, he asked: “Are you sure you can drive home?” I smiled and held his hand, “yes, I can. Don’t worry. Thank you for driving.”

I started the engine and started driving.

I got home and all I can see is Lucas, our memories in every corner of my house, our pictures and his gifts. I still can’t believe we ended this way. It is a starry night I’m here in my room sitting beside the window. Before, I used to sit here waiting for Lucas. I can still imagine his car parking outside my house. I can still imagine him waving at me with roses on his hands. How awful it becomes.

*toot*

Someone texted me.

I can feel the nervousness that this might be Lucas, and I decided to open it.  “Hey! Want to hang out?” from an unknown number. I don't know if I'm going to give this a response or just leave it. But, There's something in my self that I can feel this is something special. “Who’s this?” I texted back but I'm hoping that this Lucas and without a minute I received another message from the same number. “It’s Brandon ;)” my chest fluttered in shock and my hands are shaking. I replied, “Where did you get my number?” I am confused about where did he get my number because no one knew my number except my Mom and it's impossible for him to know my Mom.  I accepted another message from him, “Do I have to explain? Where are you?” Why does he always bother me? with a rolling eye, “I’m busy.” He keeps on messaging me and he said, “Let’s watch stars together, I know you’d like it.”

*Toot*

Someone also texted me, but this time, I can feel the nervousness conquered my whole body and I have a great feeling that it is Lucas who just texted me.

“Jane, I’m so sorry.”

I don’t know how am I going to reply. My tears shuttered all over my face and begun to cry abundantly. after a minute I received a message again coming from Lucas saying, “Please, meet me at the cafe.” I can feel my heart pumping too fast and I'm excited and scared to face him. But, my feelings split when I received a message from Brandon saying, “I’ll wait for you. Let’s meet at the park. I’m on my way." I really don't know what is his intention, why he keeps on communicating on me. But, honestly, I prefer to talk to Lucas at the moment.  I’m confused and I don’t know what to do, but It's clear within myself that I don’t want us to end like that.

I’m on my way to the café where I am going to meet Lucas. I'm trying to relax. I put a little makeup to make my self comfortable upon seeing him, I would like him to feel that he wants me back as well I wore a fitted red dress and drove fast. I was drinking my lemon tea in my tumbler when someone texted me and I saw it was Lucas. I stopped the car to read his message and I was disappointed by reading it, “Sorry, I can’t come tonight. Need something to finish.” I began to lamen and realized my tears are coming off my eyes.
