For these past few days, I've been asking myself the same question: why didn't he believe me? Why?? I was his freaking girlfrend! So why wouldn't he believe me?

I've never felt so disappointed in someone before. I knew that the time we knew each was short, but I thought we, at least had mutual trust in each other. I guess I was wrong. Wrong about him, wrong about everything. It was stupid and naive of me to think we could actually be together. We were from totally different worlds. He was rich while I was poor.

Unfortunately the reality check didn't stop my heart from thinking of him. No matter how hard I tried to forget those adorable dimples when he smiled, his laugh, anything about him, it wouldn't go away.

It was the complete opposite. I started to miss him. I missed hearing his voice everyday. I missed having his arms around me every night. He was the only person I thought about. Memories of our brief, but happy times together replayed in my head over and over again. My first kiss taken by him. Our date at the carnival. I couldn't stop. Was this what if felt like to be heartbroken??

The sound of my ringtone snapped me out of my thoughts. I hastily looked around for it. When I found it and I saw who was calling, I stared at the lit up screen, frozen.

DO NOT ANSWER is calling..............

In the spur of my anger that day, I went and changed the name of his contact on my phone from 'Christian❤' to 'DO NOT ANSWER'.

I did nothing but stare at the screen as it rang. A couple rings later, it stopped. A new notification popped up on my lock screen- Missed Call from DO NOT ANSWER.

He didn't give up and tried a couple more times. Each time I ignored it and let it go straight to voicemail. At the end, I turned off my phone. I was afraid that if I didn't, my newly made resolution to forget him would be ruined.

I held onto myself for only about a few minutes before I turned it back on.

Right when it turned on, my phone started to ring. Could it be him again? When I saw who it wasn't, I frowned.

Caller ID Unknown is calling................

Even though I didn't recognize the number, I still answered it, hoping that maybe it was still him and that I could get to hear his voice.

"Ms. Wilson?"

Although it wasn't Christian, the voice sounded awfully familiar. Where did I hear this?

"It's Mr. Soo. I heard about what happened with you and Christian and I would like to apologize on his behalf for losing you over such a stupid mistake."

No wonder it sounded familiar. It was the man that was there when I fainted at work. He was much more considerate than Christian was at the time. "Mr. Soo!" I greeted happily. "Its been a long time since I've heard from you!"

He chuckled. "How are you doing Ms. Wilson? I couldn't help but feel worried when I heard that you moved out."

"I'm just fine Mr. Soo, there's no need to worry about a little person like me. I'm not Christian's girlfriend anymore."

"Where are you staying?" he asked.

I hesitated. I had a feeling that he would leak my address to Christian and I didn't want that to happen.

"Don't you worry Ms. Wilson, I won't tell anyone, especially not Christian," Mr. Soo assured over the phone.

"Okay I trust you." I told him that I was staying at a friend's house and gave him my address. I didn't tell him that the friend I was talking about was Aaron who was kind enough to take me in.

"Thank you. I'll make sure to pay you a visit some time."

We said our goodbyes and I hung up. I checked my call log and was dismayed to see that after I turned off my phone Christian only tried one more time before giving up all together.

The sound of the doorbell echoed in the house. Ding dong! Ding dong!

"I'll get it!!" I yelled, running to the door. I unlocked it and pulled it open without checking the peephole to see who it was. It was the last person I would have expected- Christian. Mr. Soo must've told him. Weirdly, I was not angry at all that he lied to me and told him.

"Hi Cali," he said awkwardly. He had his hands stuffed in his pockets and he smiled at me apologetically. He was dressed in all casual- gray crew neck with two black stripes on the sleeves with jeans. ()

"What do you want?" I groaned, pretending that I was not happy to see him.

"I missed you Cali. I want you to come back to me, forgive me this once and be my girlfriend again." He revealed a bouquet of white roses hidden behind his back to me. "White roses represent purity. I want us to wash away the past and to start over afresh. Accept my apology, won't you?" he asked with puppy eyes.

The momentary happiness I felt when I saw him disappeared when I remembered what he did to me. I pushed away the bouquet. "No. I don't want to be with someone who doesn't trust me."

"But I trust you now," he argued.

"Do you really mean that?"

"Yes Cali. I believe that you're innocent now," he said earnestly. "Mr. Soo found proof that you're innocent," he added.

"Ohhh I see what happened now. You're only coming to your senses and believing in me because Mr. Soo proved that I was innocent. If he didn't find the proof, you would've still believed that I took the money."

"That's not what I meant. I would've believed in you even without the proof Mr. Soo found-" he struggled to explain himself.

"I don't want to hear it anymore. It still sounds like you don't trust me," I said not giving in. I wasn't going to run into his arms and forgive that easily. His words and actions really hurt me that day.

"Please Cali, I don't want to lose you."

"You already did." I turned to leave but he grabbed onto my wrist.

"Cali."

"Let go."

He shook his head. "Not until you come back to me."

"Let go Christian." I tried to peel his fingers off but he was strong.

"Who is it Cali?" Aaron asked from inside the house somewhere, sensing that something was up. I could hear his footsteps get louder from behind me. "Is something wrong?" He rushed to my side and placed his arm on my shoulder.

I didn't respond to him. He caught my gaze and turned to see the person I was glaring at.

"Is he bothering you?" Aaron asked me.

I didn't answer.

"What is he doing here??? Was this the friend that you're staying with?" Christian asked angrily.

"This is my house."

"Whattttttt???" Christian exclaimed. His veins were practically bulging from his neck.

"Calm down. This is none of your business."

I could tell that he was trying very hard to contain his anger. "Mr. Evans, please leave the two of us alone. We need to talk things out." Christian motioned for him to leave.

Aaron glanced at me worriedly and then at Christian. "Should I leave?" he asked me while looking at Christian.

"No," I said while Christian said "Yes."

"I'll leave you guys alone for 5 minutes. If I hear anything, and I mean anything, I'll come back and you'll have to leave," Aaron compromised.

I nodded reluctantly and watched Aaron leave.

"You've got 5 minutes," I said to him.

"Forgive me Cali. I was wrong, I was wrong," he said as he slapped his face. "I was wrong.. slap... I was wrong.. slap."

"What are you doing?" I leaned forward and stopped his hand. "Doing this won't help anything." His cheek was red.

"Then you slap me then," he suggested, using my hand to slap his cheek.

I barely managed to pull my hand away. "Stop it."

"I know that I should've believed you. I was scared that you were going to be just like them. I was scared to lose you, but because of that, I lost you. Give me another chance," he begged.

He sounded really sorry and regretful. It wouldn't hurt to give him another chance, would it?
