Him

I stood still completely completely numb, trying to decipher what had just happen. I still can't fathom the recent turn of events. A few minutes ago she was at her home happy with her family when her mom received that dreaded call. Who knows? The moment that call came in she had felt it. She had a strange feeling that something was going to go terribly wrong and she was right. At last, her greatest fear had come through or at least one of her greatest because there was no telling what would happen in the future.

"If only I'd listened! I've now arrived at a cross road where I don't know what to do anymore. All I can think about is betrayal! I've been terribly betrayed and is now forced to go with what other people say and wants." The thought of this made Alice head churn. She immediately tightened her grip on the hem of her skirt, staring blankly at Him!

"It hurts! It really does! To think I'd trusted him. I could never have imagined he'd turn out to be so despicable! It's my fault. It's my mistake. I committed the blunder but I had tried to fix it hadn't I? So then, how did I end up in such a situation? How did I become the topic of discussion and how did I end up the one being questioned?" So many thoughts ran through her mind as she sat completely numb and oblivious to the piercing gazes and hurtful questions everyone threw towards her.

Her gaze, her thoughts, were only focused on one person 'Him!' The one person solely responsible for her situation.

"I should've realized it sooner. All the warning signs, the signals, he's behavior, they all clearly mentioned it but I'd chose to ignore them all. I was completely oblivious to all the warning signals and adrenaline running through me."

She glared at him with blazing eyes full of anger and hatred. It was indeed her fault. She would've figured everything out sooner if she indeed had paid attention to the warning signs she got.

He knelt there looking pitiful and depressed. He actually seemed sorry for his actions but no way! There was no way she was going to fall for his tricks the second time. She'd be a fool to actually be fooled by him twice because she felt nothing for him anymore. Neither sympathy not care just resentment.

She wasn't going to fall for that facade of he's anymore because she could clearly see it in his eyes neither did he feel remorseful nor apologetic and it hurt her deep down to know she had actually trusted someone like him.

Forget feeling remorseful, he didn't even look as depressed as she thought he would be instead he looked satisfied. He was proud of the fact that he had finally managed to bring her down. Proud of the fact that he had destroyed her and proud of the fact tha he'd ruined her reputation. He was more satisfied with the fact that he'd actually won the bet he'd made with his friends.
