Chapter 4: Sad Movie I

[FlashBack from 5 Years Ago]

"Juliette, I like you! Will you.. Will you go out with me?"

Jeremy... The man that I secretly love was standing in front of me, holding a bouquet of flowers. He was confessing at me before I could even confess to him. 'Is this a dream?' I thought, and so I slapped myself.

"Wait, Juliette. What are you doing-"

I instantly hugged him. "YES! YES! YES! I Like you, too, Jim! I do!"

"You do?! Oh, Juliette!" He hugged me tighter.

'If this is a dream, then please don't wake me up.'

I don't want to let go from his arms, because I'm terrified that if I do, he'll turn into a dust and I'll wake up with tears in my eyes.

It took us a couple of seconds until we pulled away from each other.

Astonished, I looked at him. "This..." I touched his hair and cheeks to make sure it's him. "Isn't a dream at all!" Joyous amount of tears came down from my eyes. "You really are here!"

"Yes, I am. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere." He held my hand and kissed my wrist with his tender lips. Butterflies started swarming in my belly. Then Jim looked at me with those charming eyes of him. It's as if I was hypnotize by his gaze, yet I know for sure I won't try to resist. "I will totally make you the happiest girl in the world!" He smiled at me before pulling me in for a passionate kiss.

That was my very first kiss, and I love it...

"I will totally make you the happiest girl in the world!"

Is what he said... Indeed, for the past years he made me the happiest girl in the world--- But none of that matters now.

I just sat there. The popcorn I held was still full, and the coke hasn't been touched.

They were talking to each other, flirting at each other as if they actually are a couple. As if I was never Jim's girlfriend.

He's cheating on me.

He's cheating in front of me.

'Why?'

I wanted to ask him. Ask him about this. 'Why is he doing this to me? Why did he lie?' I wanted to ask him now. I wanted to interrupt their conversation, but none of those words that I thought came out. I couldn't speak. My hands were trembling really bad. I feel like vomiting. The lump on my throat hurts a lot to the point I couldn't breath--

Then he kissed her.

With my own two eyes, I saw Jim kissing my best friend. That's when everything shattered into pieces. My memories with him, his gaze at me, his "I love you's", and his promises. 'Was everything nothing but a lie?'

Tears felt down from my eyes, as I covered my mouth out of shock.

I couldn't believe that those lips I have kissed. Those lips that I thought are mine alone were never mine at all...

I couldn't stop my tears... It kept falling down on my cheeks.

'It hurts... My heart hurts...'

To be contd.
