Chapter 10

Ch. 10 / 31 Jan 11, 2023

I opened my eyes and looked around. I'm still at the library. I slept in the middle of doing my project. Why there a blanket on me? I swear this is weird. Okay whatever. I looked at my watch, it's 2 and how long I been sleeping? I have to go to work.

I took all my stuff and ran to my work. I ran there and when I got inside I saw Sarah. I smiled and walked her.

"Hello, Elsa."

"Hi, do you want coffee?”

"Where were you yesterday? Did you have a fight with Jayson? You left your bag at my house and

Jayson was looking for you everywhere."

"We got into a little fight."

"Have you reconcile yet?"

"No, not yet." I shook my head.

"That boy..” She hissed.

"It's okay, Sarah. I will talk to him tomorrow or tonight." I smiled and she nodded.

"Okay then I was worried about you." She hugged me.

“I’m fine.”

“Okay, then.. I just want to make sure..” After that she left.

I focused on my work, customer keep coming so I never stop making coffee. I'm tired. Suddenly my friend me, I looked at her confused and she pointed at the door.

It's Jayson.

He sat on the sofa and he doesn't even bother to look at me. I rolled my eyes and continued working.

"Did you two fight?" My friend asked and I nodded.

"He seems to still care about you." She said.

"Yeah I think." I continued to work until my shift is done. After I’m done, I walked to my locker and took my . I walked to Jayson and stood in front of him. He's busy calling someone I don't know. I coughed a and then he realized that I was already done. I walked out and he followed.

We walked side by side without saying anything. I looked at my phone and it's 5.16, I have to go home prepare to go out on a dinner with Chance.

If he doesn't want to talk then fine with me. I walked faster but he stopped me by my wrist. He looked at straight to my eyes. I raised my eyebrows and ready to walked away again but he gripped me.

"Wanna go grab dinner?" He asked.

"No, I have other plans."

"What is it?"

"Not your business."

"Elsa.. I-I'm sorry." He said and it came out almost like a whisper.

"Okay." I let go his gripped and walked away but he stopped me again.

"You're going with Chance?"

"My life is not your business." I glared.

"You-I-" He can't even speak.

Suddenly my phone rings, it's Jennifer.

"Hey." I picked up.

"Hey girl, I miss you!" She said.

"I miss you too!" Jayson narrowed his eyes on me.

"We're so busy these days, I miss your girls night." I bet she pouted

"Let's do it, when?"

"Friday?"

"Okay!"

"Great! I'll go to your apartment."

"Okay, see you." With that she hung up and I continued to walk. Jayson walked by my side and I stopped.

"Why are you follow-"

"I'm not following you."

"Okay."

"This Saturday, there is a Winter Ball. My mom invites you to come and she wanted to have a holiday with too."

"Jayson, how many times do I have to-"

"After the ball, I'll let you go. I promise." He said and I let out a sigh.

"Really?"

"Uhmm yeah."

"I have to get this thing off first."

"Uhmm.. right."

"Okay.” He stopped and I continued to walk. I left him there, I don't know why I felt broken inside to hear the Winter Ball will be our last day together. I mean that's what I wanted but why do I feel sad?

Elsa, this is what you always wanted so don't be sad and just live your life. I walked slower and stopped.

Suddenly someone pushed me and I turned to see Jayson.

"Why are you spacing out while crossing down the road?! You almost get hit!" He screamed at me but he pulled me into a hug.

"I-I-"

"Can you even take care of yourself?" He asked still with his yelling tone.

"You almost give me a heart attack." He mumbled

"I'm sorry."

"Now go, please be careful and watch where you’re going." He said letting go the hug.

"Text me about Saturday." I told him and he nodded. He looked into my eyes one last time and then he . I looked at him walking away. I walked to my apartment and took a shower. Getting ready for dinner Chance. I wore a blue dress. I’m not really in the mood, to be honest. I put make up and just pulled hair on a bun.

Chance texted me that he already in the lobby. I quickly went down and saw him waving at me.

"Hey!"

"You look beautiful." He smiled.

"Thanks." I gave him a little smile.

"Do you like western food?" He asked and I nodded.

"Hey whats wrong?" He asked.

"I'm fine." I smiled widely.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, of course." The place is not that far from my apartment. We got out and got inside. As soon as I the restaurant,

I saw something that I don't want to see..
