(Teine POV)
"Yes, Teine you have again offended me as usual." His blue eyes were staring deep into
my soul and I could tell he was hurt.
" You've continuously ignored me and it stops today!' Jru was upset. But, honestly, I
had no idea what he was going on about.
"I'm sorry, I think you might have me confused with someone else. If you can just move
so I can grab a drink. I'll be out of your hair and you'll never have to see me again."
The moment the words left my mouth I could sense he did not appreciate them at all.
"Never have to see you again?.." He repeated but in a very upset tone.
"Is that what you think I want Lil girl?" His tone was making my insides melt. I had never
reacted to anyone the way I was reacting to being near Jru.
" I… I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. But yes, to answer your question,
why would you want to see me again? I'm not even your type.."
Again, the minute the word garbage in my mouth was released. I could feel the anger
radiating off of Jru. His eyes held mine and he grabbed my arm.
"Hey! Get off! What's with the touching?" I'm yelling this as he's doing a great job of
dragging me to the back store room.
"What are you doing? Why are you acting like this sir?"
We finally reached the back room and Jru slowly turned to face me.
"Sir?" He asked
"Well yes, I don't know your name.." I whispered while staring into his eyes.
" We're gonna keep this act up Teine? Do you really want me to remind you who I am?
But most importantly. Do you need me to remind you who you are to me?" He yelled.
I had never seen him so worked up. Honestly, there was a small part of me that felt safe
near him. Despite him being angry and upset by my words. I knew in my heart, that Jru
would not hurt me. I was confused, why was he so mad at me? We haven't crossed
paths in years.
"Not since he left me behind…"
It was like a whisper deep in my soul. Like someone had messaged me directly to my
brain and placed a lost memory back where it should be.
I whispered it out loud,
"Not since you left me behind.." I don't know why but all of a sudden. I was mad! I
wanted to yell and scream at him.
I wanted him to feel all my pain. Tears welled in my eyes and I blinked to let them fall.
" I don't know what's going on, but I am very mad at you right now. Which is weird for
me. Since I just met you. But, I'm mad. So, keep the damn soda I'm going home, and
don't even think of following me." With that, I turned and marched out of the store.
I was walking/ running home. I unlocked the door and threw myself inside. I closed the
door and bolted the lock. Sliding down the door and sitting down.
I put my head in my hands and cried like I've never cried before.
