Chapter 87
He just watched me staying still, his muscles tensing up like he was having inner battle with himself.
” Okay……” I said in disappointment, lowering my gaze, and turned opposite ready to get out but then he started the engine on and I was surprised with a sudden change in his behaviour.
My lips twitched. I was a second away from smiling like a fool, but I had to hold it in. I couldn’t get my hopes up.
I just stared at the window, not turning towards him but my stupid heart betraying me and I just kept smiling foolishly at the window.
Atleast he can’t see me……
Throughout the ride we were silent, he just stared ahead, his fingers on the steering wheel absentmindedly, looking off into the distance through his window.
It was good kind of silence actually, everything peaceful and steady…… the fresh morning air hitting my face as I stared at the building passing by.
When I stole glances of him I couldn’t believe Vincent was right next to me and I was still alive…… despite the words he’d thrown on me, which almost induced a nightmare to me last night.
I just looked at him…… There was something attractive about the way he switched gears. So fast and masculine.
I fixed my gaze on the road ahead of us, determined not to make a fool of myself.
We entered the compound and he pulled off near the yard and shut down the engine.
I got out and strode merrily towards the house, my mood beaming up and he just looked at me as if I was a dumb kid in front of him…… but it didn’t bother me.
Elora was making hustle bustle in the hall and I slowed down, looking around anxiously.
She was dragging her luggage out stumbling out and Vincent knitted his brow as if he too didn’t know what was happening.
” Phew! I have shopped so much here didn’t I! The luggage has gone heavy.” Elora screeched out and Xavier rolled his eyes.
” What’s going on?” Vincent strode towards them and everybody drew their attention towards us.
” Vincent!!!! Where were you!!!!??? I called you so many times and you just!! Where were you all night!??” Elora whined out running towards him and held his arm.
” Why have you—”
” Do you know I’m leaving…… going back to my place.” Elora pouted looking at him sadly and Vincent’s and as well as mine widened in shock.
” What?…… but …… you said you were going day after tomorrow! Why so sudden…… ” Vincent blurted out anxiously rendering me speechless.
” I know…… but I have to…… my dad call me yesterday, to sign some papers or whatever it is and my presence is necessary. I don’t want to go but I have to Vincent……”
A jolt rolled through me. No. This means…….
I looked at Vincent, all pleasant feelings from just a few moments ago volatilized at the harsh reminder of the emerging threat.
She going back……
Vincent stilled all of a sudden, a glint of fear rearing up, his face was taut with shock.
This means……
My breath coming out in quick pants, everything in me screaming that this wasn’t going right.
” I’ll miss you Vincent and all of you too.” She hugged Vincent who was frozen like stone like he was lost in his thoughts.
” But not you…… I’m still not forgiving you for what you have done! Don’t think we can be friends!” She glared at me and I was way too drained out to react to her nag.
I should be happy that she is finally leaving but ironically…… it was saddening me unknowingly, an unrecognisable pain dominating over me.
Blake took the luggage and strode out, looking gloomy as Vincent without saying a word. All strode towards outside.
A taxi honked out and Elora sat giving a final hugging to the rest and waving out goodbye. I just watched her driving off and I glanced at Vincent.
He looked like he was in pain, breathing with difficulty.
” Ufff…… finally. I can rest peacefully from now on.” Emma let out a relief sigh, her hands on her hips.
My chest pulsed with ache, everything coming to an end…… I don’t know why…… I…… didn’t want it to end, and that unsettled me.
” Jennie!!!!! ” Someone huffed out striding towards us and it was Harper along with Rose.
” Stupid b*tch…… couldn’t you pick up your phone? We were so worried where you disappeared this early morning! But you are here!!!”
I looked at my phone and there were so many missed calls of Harper and Rose. I had forgotten I had put my phone silent as I wasn’t in good mood yesterday.
” Okay! Everyone come let’s have our breakfast peacefully as Elora is gone for good!” Emma chirped out walking towards the kitchen.
” What…… she left ??????” Harper and Rose creased their brows in amusement.
Harper’s eyes glazed up and she looked at me and I knew what her look meant.
” PERFECT!!!” Harper’s fired out in excitement running towards me. ” That means we can go back to our hometown too!!”
Without giving a second thought I looked at Vincent. Our gazes met, and the intensity of his sorrow took me aback.
His eyes had lost the light, revealing utter sadness and insecurity.
” Let’s go pack your things fast, it’s still morning. We can catch our train to our town which is at 9!!” Harper chirped and pulled me with her upstairs.
9……
I looked to the side towards Vincent as Harper dragged me with her. His eyes following me, an unknown fear clouding in it and it shook me to the core.
We reached upstairs and I looked around his room, breaking me unknowingly. The day has really come……
This was it. We were about to go our separate ways…… on our own.
I packed the things along with Harper and I waited for him to come up, but he didn’t come up.
I hadn’t bought much things so within few minutes we winded everything up and I looked at his room for the last time.
All the memories I had here with him looping on my mind.
A heavy weight settled in my stomach, my mind was saying I was finally free to go but my heart was telling me else.
What was happening to me……. Why his pain and sorrow was weakening me……? This was the first time I was feeling sad for leaving his house ……
We walked down and my eyes desperately searched Vincent, unknowingly aching to see him.
He was standing beside Blake and something just squeezed my heart as he didn’t turn to look at me even though he got to know I was here.
” Okay let’s go……! We don’t have much time, even we have to pack things for village too.” Harper pulled me with her towards the exit.
” Wait…… atleast eat breakfast and go! Why are you hurrying so much! ” Emma said stopping us.
” No…… we will have it there itself, don’t have much time!” Harper said and I just looked at him unaware of anything.
He didn’t even turn still, looking away and a pang of disappointment hit me.
” Thank you for taking care of me until now…… I really had fun here.” I smiled at Emma and she hugged me.
” It should be us who should be thanking you. If it wasn’t you, we would have died already!” Emma gave me bone crushing hug and I smiled at her.
“Yeah ” Harper and Rose laughed out.
” Okay let’s go……” I strode outside with Harper and Rose.
He was standing beside Blake like soul has chipped out of him, turning opposite of me, looking somewhere else but not me.
If he just said one word or stopped me, I might be willing to stay, but he didn’t.
” I’m going……” I tried to initiate the conversation because I knew he wouldn’t and he just stood still…… proving my words.
Time suspended, stretching into dark forever, and I was falling into abyss, my heart breaking.
I had no more reasons or rights to stay here, our ties here had really cut down here.
I went inside the car and Rosé started engine, my tears dwelled up for some reason as I sat gripping my bag tightly.
Vincent didn’t look at me at all, which made me feel small and insignificant, like he didn’t need my presence…… need me……© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
My chest constricted painfully, and I had to fight for air, ripping on the inside.
Time skipped quickly as I packed everything for the village. Rose dropped us at the station and Taeyong was there too.
Taeyong and Harper were chirping something as the train was about to come, but I just stood, my mood getting dull more than ever.
I expected him to reach me, the way he looked at me when Elora was leaving, when I was going to pack but he……
He didn’t……
He pushed me away so many times. I could refuse him. I could refuse to forgive him for everything he’d done. I could always hold a grudge and feel bitter. I could distrust him but……
My emotions took the best of me when it comes to him…… I was actually expecting for him even now.
I looked around the station, my eyes darting over the people passing by. I was actually expecting just like what happens in films and series…… when a heroine leaves the city and the hero run to stop her…… plead her don’t go… stay by my side forever type.
But the train started departing and my heart started beating wildly, in desperation of searching him but he was nowhere to be found.
I gripped my bag going restless, my breathing grew unsteady, my eyes darting over restlessly as the train moved along .
This was actual reality…… there was no hero to stop the heroine.
There was no Vincent to stop Jennie……
A deep sorrow piercing through me, tearing me apart, my lips quivered a pained tear escaping from my eyes.
I quickly wiped my tear but another escaped from me, and I again wiped it but it kept flowing continuously.
” I don’t want f***ing b*tches like you linger in my life ”
” Our relation ends up here…”
He really meant that words after all……
He really didn’t need me…… I was nothing in his life after all.
I looked though the window, tears continuously flowing against my will silently, as the train departed from the station completely.
