Bitter Ending Book I

A girl is just sitting there while reading some novels when the number of his boyfriend appear on her phone screen while she's reading so she answered the call with a smile on her face. "Babe, you called. I was waiting for your call since ages." The girl talked on the phone cheerfully. "Let's break up." A cold voice came from the other line surprising her. "W-what?! What do you mean, d-did I do something wrong?" Athea ask tembling while holding back her tears. Because she couldn't believe what she hears. This girl is Athea Prielle Jimenez, she is 18 years old and she is in her 12th year in high school. The Boy she talked on the phone is her boyfriend they have been together for a year. His name is Joeford De Rama. "You did nothing wrong, I just don't like this relationship that's all." Joeford answered with his cold voice. "If I didn't do anything wrong, why break-up? Can we just talk this things out? Or just give me a reason why you want to break-up?" asked Athea with her trembling voice as her tears keep on falling. "I already gave the reason. I don't like this relationship anymore." Joeford mercilessly answered her. "No, this isn't a reason at all. Tell me, why don't you like our relationship? Is it because I'm annoying, or you get tired of me. Or is it that you fell out of love." Athea asked while crying. She already had some answers but she wants to hear it from him. "Fine! You want an answer? I fell out of love! I don't love you any longer. So let's just end this relationship since it's no hope at all." Joeford answered it without care and just mecilessly hang up. Athea sit there without a focus in her eyes as her tears keep on falling and her hand still holding up her phone. "I love you so much and take good care of our relationship, to the point I almost didn't left any for myself and this is how it end up," Athea whispered as she hug her knees and keep on crying. Athea walk to her bed and sit as she stare at the picture on her table. In the picture is Athea and Joeford's first date. She lay on her bed while her tears keep on falling as she remembers their memories together. "When did it start?" Athea weakly whisper as she fell asleep with tears on her eyes. When she wakes up her eyes are too puffy. When she look at the time it's already six-thirty o'clock in the evening. She doesn't even have the appetite to eat dinner, she just lay there and stare at her ceiling. "Thea! Come out of your room, let's eat dinner!" her Grandmother called her for dinner since she didn't come out of her room. "I don't want to eat dinner, Grandma..." shouted Athea weakly. Her Grandmother can't do anything since she's dead set on not coming out of her room. The next day Athea still didn't come out of her room, all she did was cry. She can't accept their break-up. She still keep on thinking on what she did wrong or what reason why her boyfriend now her ex fell out of love. On the other hand Joeford was with his friends and it seems like he isn't came from a break-up recently, he just keep on having fun together with his group of friends. "Hey, ford! I heard that your single?" asked one of his friends Mike. "Well, just broke-up recently with Athea," said Joeford and act like he seems upset about the break-up. "What happened? Who break-up with who?" asked the confused Jeff. "She broke-up with me without a reason," Joeford answered and seems like his really sad about the break-up. "What?! Why did she do that," Mike asked him. "Aren't you two so sweet? And Athea love you so much too, also the two of you seems like, you two didn't fought too much." Jeff asked still confused. Because he still remember how Athea used too look at ford and how Athea always supported him with anything he wants. "Maybe she changed, and she didn't love me anymore. Or maybe he found a new one," Joeford answered nonchalantly. Jeff still skeptical about their break-up but didn't do anything since it isn't his business. While Mike accepted what he hears and just supported Him. "Don't worry about it dude, there's still a lot of girls out there. Your handsome and a lot of girls still admires you. It isn't a problem at all, it's Athea's fault. It's her lose not yours," comforted Mike. Jeff didn't say anything and just mind his own business. "Thank you." Joeford thank him. "Athea, how many times have you said you don't have an appetite! You haven't eaten since last night! Get out of your room and eat dinner! Don't let me get in to grab you..." Athea's Grandma shouted as she banged her room. "I'll eat! I'll eat, don't bang my door anymore Grandma. I'm going out..." Athea helplessly answered her Grandma as she goes out of her room and go to the kitchen to eat her dinner. "What's the problem Athea? Are you not well? Do you have any problems?," Athea's Grandma asked her while her stepfather and Grandpa look at her. "I'm fine Grandma, don't worry about me." Athea smiled and continue eating. Although worried her Grandma didn't ask her and just let her be. They silently eat their dinner and Athea volunteered to wash the dishes. "Right, Athea you have been absent for 2 days already. You should go to school, your a graduating student and this is your last day of high school." Athea's stepfather told her. "Don't worry Uncle, I know," Athea weakly replied and after she finish washing the dishes she went back to her room. Athea went to shower and went to sit on her bed when she caught sight of the picture again. Tears started to gather on her eyes. She reach the picture frame and caress the picture. She sighed and put it back as she cried on her bed again till she fall asleep.
