《Heart Strings | ✓》SIX

"How come you didn't...tell me about it?" Jack wondered. "I would have dropped everything just to come. W-why?"
I decided to stay silent and stared out of the window, my hands wrapped around my body.
At the wake and burial, there were only a handful of people who attended. It was rather an intimate moment because of that. Most of the people who came were the closest to mom.
"Callie," He pleaded. "Why didn't you bother contacting me?"
"What?!" I didn't mean to burst out on him, but I didn't really want to talk about this. "What do you want me to tell you?"
I glanced at his reflection on the window. He was in disbelief and he was trying his best not to get mad.
"Do you really hate me so much that you would do that to me?" He accused me.
I mentally scoffed. I don't hate him. I never did. The reason why I didn't bother informing him of my mother's passing was I just didn't want to.
I know it's probably selfish of me. Jackson might be hurt by this stupid reason, but imagine how I feel? I lost my mother. The only person that has been there for me even though times have been very hard, she was there. And now, she's suddenly gone. I felt like a piece of me died with her. The last thing I want to do is call everyone I know just to say my mom has died.
"I just thought that it wasn't necessary for me to do." I said nonchalantly.
"Are you fuc- not necessary?!" He sounded really angry at me. "I don't...care if you hate me, but the least you could have done was to give me a call. I...my number is still the same as before. I never changed it."

Hmm, the same number.
The same number I kept on messaging but never really got a proper reply.
The same number I kept calling and calling before but he never picked up not until I broke up with him.
Now, that's just fucking hilarious! Really!
And yes, I broke up with him on the phone. Cruel, I know. It was at a point where we barely talked to each other anymore, so there was no point in seeing in person to only end things immediately.
"It's too late to cry over spilled milk now." I said under my breath.
"I can't believe you."
"What?! What do you want me to do now?"
After that little outburst of mine, no one talked. We were once silent again. We stayed like that until the rain had passed. Both of us needed a cool down or else we'll end up hurting each other. I know myself well enough when I'm mad, I would go off on you and say things that I don't mean to say and can usually cause more damage than good to the situation.
I tap my fingers against the side of the car door, trying to take my mind off things and distract myself with the sound. I can hear our breaths, mine was kind of loud because it was a little cold from the rain.
I'm not really in the mood to get sick.
"You should take a warm bath when you get home and make yourself a cup of warm drink. I don't want you to get sick." I hear Jack say, turning on the heater in my car.
I didn't realize that I haven't got that turned on. That's why it was a little colder than usual.
Later on, his phone rang. He answered it and I think it was Diane already on her way to come pick him up. Or at least what I think it is from his replies.

"Callie?" He called, dropping the call.
"Yes?" I replied.
"Di is picking me up in a few seconds. She said she's just around the block. Do you want to come and see her? It's no longer raining, you can come outside."
I fidget with my fingers on my lap, lowering my head down. "I don't think she wants to see me. She probably doesn't even know that we're together right now."
"She doesn't, but I'm sure she would be happy to see you."
"Don't they hate me?"
"Hate you? Why would they hate you? They love you more than they love me."
"Well, things didn't really end on a good note." No pun intended. "I was the one who stopped talking to them after what happened between us." I whispered the last part.
"They don't, if that's what you want to know. You should contact Lav sometimes. I can give you her number. She really misses you, you know."
I miss her, too.
My heart clenches. A bitter-sweet feeling washes over me. I fucked up my friendship with her. I should have at least talked to her and at least continued my friendship with her.
"I don't know, but I'm exhausted and I just want to go home." I said. "Probably not today, Jack. Send my regards to Diane, though."
I don't think I have the strength to face them, Well, at least not right now. But today is not the day for that.
I looked at Jack and he looked defeated. It looks like he wants to say something but decided against it and said, "It's okay. I'll tell her about you."
And just like that he was already out of my car.
Just like he was in my life.
Today has been too much.

8 208The Demon’s Bride
Elise had about to change into the dress that was lying on the corner of her bed when she heard a knock lightly calling from her door. Curious, she turned the door knob only to have a tall man towering in front of her.«Master Ian!» She called.Ian smiled with the usual mischievous smirk that he always used. His crimson eyes trailing a little over her room and spotted the black dress over her bed and shifted his eyes over to the woman in front of him. He stepped forward and spoke. «Where did you acquire that dress?»«Mr. Harland gave it to me.» Elise replied and strained her neck to see Ian’s brows knitted in its elegance.«Do you know why a man would love to give a woman a dress?» He gave the riddle that she always had to think twice before replying. But this time, she found no answer and instead shook her head. «I don’t know.»His grin grew bewitching as though something had stirred deep inside the scarlet eyes that he had. He slowly slid his hand over the collar of her dress, sending a cold shiver that startled her for a moment due to its freezing temperature. After unbuttoning the first two buttons on her collar, he tilted his head down, whispering to her ears. «Because they want to be the one to undress the cloth.»He paused and kissed her neck, turning the pale skin to red before retracting his move to fix his eyes on her and leisurely replied. «Unfortunately, you can’t wear the dress over there with this.» He chuckled and passed a box over to her hand. «And the fortunate news is I prepared a dress for you.»
