Chloe entered the apartment as if it was her own property.The confidence and pride in her personality was something I didn't like.She was more than perfect with her model like body and I remebered her from a magazine, once Anna forced me to read.No doubt she was beautiful but I envied her.

As she was clinging to Zach , a bucket of cold water hit me with full force bringing me back from my fantasy world.Whenever I was with Zach,I always forgot about my surroundings.His charm was hypnotising , making me blind of the consequences.

Now I was feeling like an idiot and a slut. I was all the time claiming to have the thing that was not even mine. I was nothing infront of them.My status and standards were not even close to them.With every passing moment, the weight of regret and rejection on my shoulders was increasing making me difficult to breath.

"Who is she?",the disgusted voice of Chloe shoot straight to my heart making me realize what I was.

I was waiting for Zach's reply.He was getting uncomfortable."She is Emily , my personal assistant".As these words escaped his mouth , a pain shoot through my heart.MY PERSONAL ASSISTANT.These words were repeating in a chorus in my mind.I cursed myself for forgeting my status.I was only an assistant to him nothing more nothing less.A tear threatened to escape my eyes but I pushed it back.I was not going to weep infront of them.I was strong.

I looked at Zach.Something flickered in his eyes.what was that?Guilty!!No way.He was rich cold hearted bastard just like the whole world.He used me just for his joyness.I was a jester to him only.I cursed myself for keeping my eyes close and following my heart blindly.

"I am going",I informed Zach and rushed towards the door.

"W-wait Emily",Zach's apologising voice came but Chloe stopped him."Lets go to shopping Zach"

SHOPPING.Wasn't that a girlie thing for him.I scoffed.

When I was at the door,I realized that I forgot my phone on his couch.I turned back and saw both of them exchanging saliva.That was it.A tear rolled down my cheeks, I hurridely wiped it with my sleeve.They pulled back.

"I-I forgot my phone",my weak voice came.

Their heads shoot my way.Annoyance etched on Chloe's face.I picked my phone and before going looked at Zach last time.

His eyes trying to convey something but I delibrately ignored it.There was nothing to listen and understand anymore.Everything was crystal clear now. I was NOTHING to him.

All the way home, I poured my feelings out in the form of tears.

My eyes were puffed.When I entered,my mom was there in the lounge.

"What happened Emily?",worry etched on her face.

She came to me and I sobed in her arms.

When my eyes ran out of tears , i explained everything to her.When I was done,I felt some relaxed.

"Baby,it's okay. Don't shed tears over a bastard", she sternly said.

She just gave me condolences for next 3 hours and I was all the time sobing.

"Go to your room and fix yourself Lady",my mom said."And that's enough.No crying anymore",she sternly said.I nodded and went upstairs.

I thought mom was right. Why I was even wasting my energy over a stupid rich prick.I made my mind NO CRYING.With that thought,I took a shower and dressed into a casual outfit.

I called Anna.She picked at third ring.

"Hey",her chirpy voice came.

"Hi.I need you right now.Come and get me we are going to eat icecream." ,I informed her.

"Is everything okay.You seems off "

"Come and get me,then i'll tell you",with that I hung up.

After 15 minutes,she honked in front of my house.I hurridely went out,informing mom that I was going out.And she was happy that,I had changed my plans of crying all day.

I entered in her car.We both were silent all the way.She better knew when to speak because I was not in mood. I tried to compose myself all way.I didn't want to weep while telling her my story.

She parked the car in front of an icecream parlour where Allen worked.Oh God,I needed my friends right now so much.

We entered and the bell dinged, informing our prsence. We spotted Allen behind the counter.When he saw us his eyes twinkled with excitment.He rushed towards us.

"Hey.What brings you guys here?",he asked and winked Anna.

Anna rolled her eyes in response.

I scoffed at them.My friends were crazy even though no matters I loved them to bits.

We sat on a booth at the far corner with a window giving a clear view of busy outside world.

"Spill lady", Anna ordered in a motherly tone.

"Anyone going to tell me what's going on? And why Emily came here with a fallen face?", Allen exasperatedly said.

I sighed and started my story. Starting from going to shopping for Noah's birthday to my last encounter with Chloe and How I could forgot that spit exchanging session.

As my words came out their eyes going wider and wider.When I was finished,their first reaction was of disappointment and not only disappointed they were disappointed with me.

"So much happened and you are telling us now??! What a best friend you are??.I thought we were your besties,childhood besties!!",she placed her hand on her heart giving it more effects .Allen nodded in agreement giving a pout.

"You guys should take part in some sort of dramatics and Anna heart is not on this side",I rolled my eyes.

She hurriedly changed the position of his hand.

"I am here stuck in a horrible situation and you guys are whining like kids on your own issues!!",i added in disbelief with mocking hurt.

They both gave me apologising looks.Ugh.I hoped that they didn't start with their puppy dog faces.

"Sorry",they said in unison giving me puppy dog eyes as expected.I shook my hand dismissively.

"I knew it he was not good for you",Allen stated.

"And you are suppose to tell me that now?!",I rose an eyebrow at him.He grinned stupidly in response.

"What you are going to do now?", Anna asked.

"I think I am here to ask that from you guys!!", I scoffed.

They both looked at ceiling with a face-Don't shit with us we are in deep thoughts-

I rolled my eyes.They both were something.I waited for their so called witty advice.

"Do you love him?",Anna's question took me off-guard. I was not expecting that. They looked at me impatiently waiting for my answer and I was still registering their question.Do I?

"I don't know",I answered hesitantly.

I tried to comprehend my feelings toward him.Whenever Zach kissed me,there were sparks and the way he looked at me make me beautiful and safe.But when he rejected me,it felt like a piece of my heart was torn. What was I suppose to conclude from that?

"You love him",Anna answered my unspoken question and then I realized for the first time that I was deep down very very deep down still liked him no matter what happened.He still in my good's book.My heart was not accepting that Zach used me.I was still attracted to him.Why was that?

Then I pondered and pondered and realized that Anna was right.

I had gave a piece of my heart to Zach without knowing it.

And now I knew one thing that
