The next day, I stayed indoors. I didn't have the mood to go anywhere. Its the second time my heart experienced a feeling so painful. Ethan kept calling and leaving messages but I ignored them. I really don't want to talk to him at all. I heard a sudden knock on the door. "Kate?..." It was June. I wiped away the escaping tears with my sleeve and opened the door. She stood there with an overly sized plastic bag. "Hey, I heard what happened. Mind if I come in?" I nodded and let her walk in. I locked the door and sat on the bed. She did the same. "Listen Kate, I'm so sorry, i didn't tell you about Ethan earlier. I really thought this could change everything for the better but I guess I was wrong." I shook my head. "No...it wasn't your fault. I understand why you did it but I guess some things weren't meant to be" I croaked. She looked down but I knew better, as I heard her sob. I embraced her. "I told you... It's okay. There's nothing to be sorry for." She stopped sobbing and I gave her my tissue. She blew her nose and gave a shaky laugh. "I'm pathetic...I came here to comfort you but ended up crying myself" I chuckle. It was nice to smile. She got down and tugged the bag. She took out the stuff and placed it on my bed. Ice cream,chocolates,sodas and etc. I grin. "You're going all out" "Of course! My best friend is in depression and I have to be prepared." We started eating them on my balcony as we watched the night sky. It was cold but we warmed ourselves in blankets and hot chocolate. "Are you really going to forget about him?" I gave a long pause. "Even if I wanted to, it's practically impossible for me to forget him." "What are you going to do?" "I have to live life...there's nothing much I can do" She kept quiet until her phone rang. She answered it in a hushed tone. I knew it was Ethan.After several minutes talking,they hung up. "What did he want?" She stayed quiet but eventually talked. "I can't say everything but he's leaving" My heart felt a pang and I stiffened. He's leaving again. I told him the truth this time and he's leaving. Tears swelled in my eyes and struggled to hold them in but failed. "I thought it was going to be different this time. I know it's silly but I was hanging on a single line of hope,he'll try to win me back. I thought...he loved me" She quickly got up from her seat and wrapped an arm around me,rubbing my shoulder. "No! He does love you! With all his heart and soul. He's not leaving permanently...it's complicated but I promise you that he's leaving for a good cause" I look at her with a weary smile but knew my heart just experienced another depressing earthquake. I sigh and lay down,feeling the wetness of my tears roll down my cheek. ______________________________ Sorry it's short but I have to continue the story a bit longer.
