Forget Everything That Happened

He dragged me like I'm a trash bag and held my wrist so tight I think it will have bruises. He let me sit at the edge of his bed. He left me there and went to the kitchen and went back bringing a chair.

He positioned the chair in front of me and sit. He then faced me. "Treat that wound and get out," he coldly said. I froze when he said that. We are just looking at each others eyes. I can see my reflection in his eyes, but his were emotionless and blank. I got scared when his stares even got deeper so I looked away.

I just treated his wound silently. I was focused on treating him while he's staring at me. I can feel the tension and the awkward air between us but I asked for this. I insisted I'll treat but I didn't expect that he'll act coldly like this afterwards. He changed his mood so easily.

"Done," I said and stand up. He didn't bother looking at me and just slumped his body in his bed. I walked away and threw the pads that I used in his bin when I was on my way out.

As soon as I entered my unit, I tried to brush off the feels that I have inside. I don't know what this is, or maybe I know but I am just denial but this isn't right. It will just hurt and destroy me if I let it consume my mind and my heart. Everything is confusing already. I love complexity as it challenges me but not this kind of complexity. I am not really familiar with it. I didn't feel it with my boyfriends before.

I have no appetite so I just took the shower and slept. This way I can forget everything what happened tonight and I hope I will be back to normal again tomorrow.

I wook up early as I planned to go to the gym today. The guy instructor who instructed me last time just smiled at me when he saw me and called the same female instructor.

"Hi! You came back! Same routine for you," she said and told me to warm up. The gym is full with guys today and I don't see him at all. I think he's sticking to his mood, cold and scary.

Lauren, the female instructor, came back and helped me with the routine. We were just silently exercising, but of course, she's counting but I'm just silently following her instructions. She broke the ice and said, "Travis is not here today for the first time. What's with him?"

I couldn't answer her immediately but I just smiled and shrugged. "I don't know. We're not acquainted," I said.

After almost half an hour, we're done. I am now running the treadmill when I received a call from Adora.

"Yes, why?" I answered when I connected it to my airpods.

"I'm bored, let's hangout. Where are you?"

"Gym."

"Okay. Finish that and get ready in 30 minutes. And I already called Neo so it's going to be the three of us. I'll call you later, bye!" she said and ended the call.

I finished the treadmill and immediately took a shower. I thanked Lauren and went out of the gym carrying my gym bag and went back to the apartment. I went inside the building and saw everyone in the lobby looking at someone. I followed their gaze and there I saw her, walking like she's in the runway with her strong presence and with charisma, but doesn't make her scary. She stopped when she's already in front of me.

She took off her glasses and looked at me up and down. Like she's examining my existence in this world. "Even if you exercise a lot, he will not choose you," she suddenly said that made my pupils dilate and suppressed my laugh.

"Excuse me?" I asked her. She raised her drawn eyebrows at me and took a step closer. She's not tall so we are at the same level.

"Do you not know me?"

"Why would I know you?" I asked and she let out a crazy laugh like she just heard the most hilarious joke. And she has everyone's attention right now.

"How could you not know someone famous like me?" she ridiculously asked and pointed herself.

"If you're famous, how come I don't know you?" I fired back. Her expression suddenly changed and her gaze became even deadly, but who's she scaring? She just appeared at the front cover of a famous magazine once and here she is, acting high and all mighty. She's not even that popular.

"Don't try too hard darling, I'm not fun to play with," she threatened me. And I know what she meant.

"Are you threatened Miss One Time Front Cover Model? I don't even care about your boyfriend," I said mocking her and I was just satisfied with her reaction. She took a step back and couldn't utter a word. She grump and stomped her feet while getting out of the building. She's embarrassing herself.

I sighed and looked at the time. Shit! I only have 20 minutes left to get ready. That cheap model wasted my time. I immediately went up to my floor and changed my clothes. I put on a light make up and styled my hair.

Adora called when I was done and said they're already in front of the building. I looked at myself in front of the mirror before going down. I saw Neo's car parked in front of the entrance.

"Hey guys!" I greeted them when I entered the car. Neo is in the driver's seat while Adora is beside her.

"So, where are we?"

"Shopping! And we have Neo to bring our bags!" Adora said and teased Neo.

"Better treat me lunch, Adora," he teased back.

"Why me? And you're a rich ass Neo. Just drive," Adora said and Neo obeyed her. I just laughed at their silliness.

While on our way to the mall, we were just listening to some music while we sang along with it. And is it some kind of a tradition, that at least one person inside the car sings loud and off-tune?

"Oh! I'll lower down the windows," she suddenly said and screamed. "Hey handsome!" she shouted at the car beside us. The guy noticed her and gave her a wink and she giggled. The guy escalated his speed and switched lanes.

"Why did you do that?" I asked her. She looked at me with a dreamy eyes. She sure is weird. She's pretty but she's weird, at times.

"Duhh! I saw a bunch of girls doing that on TikTok!" she said.

"I regret I didn't push you out. That would have gone viral," Neo seriously said and received a punch from Adora.

"Just shut up, you damn highlighter!" Adora said and crossed her arms and looked outside. I laughed at her reaction.

"Suck it, Adora," Neo fought back and here comes their bickering. I was just laughing the whole ride because of them, we almost hit a car when Adora got pissed and turned the stirring wheel, good thing Neo is a good driver.
