My feet brought me back to our apartment, my and my friend's apartment.

All the way here, I just walked, spacing out with many thoughts running inside my mind but neither of them I could even try to process. They were all about him after all.

I didn't cry. I did shed one drop but I managed to keep the rest and not cry for that jerk. A person like him doesn't deserve a single tear.

I was a fool and I was too blinded by my hopes and dreams with him that I even believed his promises,

his now empty promises despite getting all the feeling that he's not the same as before.

Pathetic of me. I knew but I didn't even try to protect my own feelings.

Pathetic of me to even think that it was all okay, that everything's going to be okay.

I was about to knock on the door but I halted. I told my friend that I was really sure that he was going to propose to me and would bring a ring with me but... I was wrong. And she was right.

I briefly looked at my finger before diverting my eyes back to the wooden door. I took a deep breath before finally bringing my hand back up again and knocked.

After knocking for at least three times, I heard her utter my name when she probably saw me from the peephole.

The door flung open revealing Gia with a large beam on her face. "Liv! See I told you he's not—", she stopped her own words when our eyes met.

For a fact, I know that she's quick to sense and read anything that's happening.

"D—Did he...not...?"

"You're right Gia. He's not really worth to trust for...", The tears that I've been keeping tried to escape again but I just bit my lips to prevent them then again. "I saw him...with another g—", but before I could even finish my phrases, she pulled me into a hug.

Her sudden hug and the way she's caressing my back comforts me but in a way that I want to let out all the feelings that I didn't want to feel for as long as I could and just be a crying mess, but I don't want to cry, not now at least that he's happy with someone else.

"I understand.", She patted the back of my head. "Just cry if you want to. I'm here."

And so, there, right there, my eyes felt like they were going to burst out when I finally got to let all the tears out. My chest tightened that I already found it hard to breath. My shoulders were moving up and down and I felt all my muscles getting weak.

As much as I want to already forget him, I still couldn't help but to remember every memory that we had. All the times that we were together. We we're so happy that it got me to thinking that I'd really spend the rest of my life with him.

"Liv~", he called me in the most sweetest tone that I hear everyday from him. I gave him the biggest beam that I could pull out as I landed myself in his arms.

"Where should we go?", He trailed off his words, his lower lip thrusting out as he slowly looked at me.

"I don't know. You should pick.", I replied as I gently elbowed him, earning a giggle from him.

I want to treasure his laugh. I love everything about him.

"Should we...go to the...cafe?", He suggested and I just excitedly nodded. He held my hand as we strolled along the streets, walking our way to a cafeteria.

Months and years passed and our love for each other remained the same.

Well, that's what I thought.

As I was riding a cab, I was constantly changing my attention to my phone and outside the window. It was just a typical day, nothing special but I was so excited to go home and finally have a chat with him through the phone after a long tiring day.

I was about to bring my attention back to my phone but my eyes automatically remained outside. I felt a sudden pain inside my chest when I spotted something outside.

He was walking along the streets with a lady. She was stunning, she was clinging onto him and he was daringly staring at her as they were chatting.

I tried to stay calm and just trusted him and hear him out when I'd get to talk to him. I'm sure she's just someone he knows and that they're not in a more than friends relationship. I'm sure he won't cheat on me.

"I saw you earlier."

We decided to meet up. I asked him if he was free just so I could ask him of what I saw earlier, and fortunately, he was

"You were with someone.", His brows suddenly furrowed. He hasn't looked at me like that before. I grew anxious all of a sudden that I once again contemplated if I should really ask him about it.

"Perhaps...can I know who...s—she is?...", My voice trembled along with my whole body. He has never looked so scary and I've never felt so distant from him like this before.

"She was just a friend, a friend I've haven't seen for awhile now.", He sighed. I could feel the annoyance in his voice but I just shrugged it off. I'll believe him, right?

"A—Ah, really...", I forged a grin as I looked down on my shoes.

"It's already late, we should go back home now."

"A—Ah, y—yes...sure thing."

Days passed by, I tried to forget everything regarding him with that friend of his. I tried to talk to him as if it didn't affect me at all. I tried to go back to the way we were.

But as days do pass by, I also see him constantly with that same lady from before, the one whom he called a friend of his.

I made myself believe that she was just really his friend but who am I even trying to kid? Anyone would guess that they were the ones in-love. The way they looked at each other even convinced me, his own girlfriend, that she was his girlfriend.

Gia held my shoulders and made me look at her. "I can beat that punk up for you.", Her face was drawn with worry.

I shook my head as I wiped the tears that was still flowing. "N—No... You don't have to."

"Don't you hate him?"

"I do... but still...you shouldn't kill him.", She chuckled.

"I won't kill him."

"I'm sure you will."

"Actually, I will. Just say the word and I'll bury his grave too."

I might look crazy but in between crying, I'm laughing by all she's saying.

"You're gonna be okay, okay?", I smiled at her as she did as well.

"I will.", I sniffed and my tears has finally stopped. "I'm tired off him too. I'm sure I'll be fine in no time.", I hope.

Time heals everything they say and I'm not entirely sure if it will apply to me too, but it's worth the shot.
