It was just another normal day — when you came barging into my apartment.
My first reaction was to ask you what was wrong. Before you gave me the chance to talk, you already started to throw out accusations at me. I didn't understand every single word you said. All I could think of was that I couldn't believe this was happening again.
This exact same thing happened to me before but with a different guy with different accusations, but it all feels just the same when the accusations are pointed at me. I couldn't comprehend how this could happen again. I wanted to block out everything but you didn't let me. You shook my body and let my tears run down my face. There was no guilt in your eyes when you saw me in that state.
I couldn't handle it anymore when you pestered me to tell the truth, so I did what you asked me to and tried to compete with your loud voice. We kept on arguing but neither of us was satisfied. I knew you were giving up by then. I saw it from your actions as you tried to back away. Away from the problem. Away from this apartment. Away from me. I tried to stop you from leaving but with every emotion that I was feeling and the memories that keep on flooding into my mind, I just couldn't.
The painful memory that I blocked away years ago came right back. I was dating someone whom I loved very much, when one day he just burst through the door accusing me of things that I never did. I didn't even try to catch up with him. For me, he was someone precious that I just let get away.
A month after that, I saw him with another girl. How loving they must have been to a stranger's eyes, not knowing that before that girl, he had another girlfriend whom he loved so much too.
I met you on that exact same day. I remember you muttering to me how disgusting that pair was. I wasn't sure why, but by just looking at you, I could give to right response to every word you said. Not long after I told you everything about me, you did the same thing too. You promised me that whatever happened between him and me would never happen between you and me.
You promised! You promised! You promised!
I kept on thinking about it as the tears kept on streaming. I sat on the floor, wrapping my arms around both my knees.
After I relaxed a bit, I looked at the clock that was hung on the wall. Ten minutes have passed and you were still not back. Ten minutes have passed and I was still here doing nothing. Ten minutes have passed but it wasn't enough for my tears to stop falling.
Five years have passed since then...
Till this day, I have always been grateful towards you. Because if you didn't come back running, hugging me and promising me that everything will be okay on that day, then I'm sure you were just going to be another person precious to me that I just let get away.
A/N First, this is my second story for English Practical Test. This is the story that I'm using. Second, notice how I didn't put any characters name? Yeah, so you guys are free to imagine whomever the characters are. Third, I'm posting this on Wattpad under the username of missimperfect. Fourth, maybe next update will be Fallen For You?
