Chapter 33

General POV

Nonny was very excited today. He decided to text his girlfriend Oona. "Hey Sweetie Pie. How are you doing?" "Great and you?" "Me too. Hey, you want to hang out. Just us 2?" "Hmm okay. You want to go to the park?" "Perfect, romantically sitting on a bench, looking at the birds in the tree." "Hihi, what a good idea. I see you there. Bye x." "Bye x."

Nonny didn't know that behind those messages is a sad and worried Oona.

Later that day, Nonny arrived. He was ready. He saw Oona and hugged her from behind. "Hey Nonny." Oona said a bit sadly. "You look sad. What's wrong? Let's sit down and talk about it." The 2 sat down. "Well, my uncle died last week..." Oona said. Nonny looked shocked. "Oh I'm so sorry for you. My condolences." Nonny said hugging Oona. "The doctors said he died because of smoking. Smoking is bad isn't it?" Oona said. Nonny froze for a second. He looked right in front of himself. He saw a young couple playing with their 2-year-old child. He then spoke again. "I'm sorry for your uncle." He didn't want to answer. "Do you want something from me? You can ask." Nonny added. "I'm a bit tired of all that. Can we go stay at your place? Watching some TV maybe." Oona asked. "Yes of course. That will change your mind."

The couple was now on its way to Nonnys home. Oona suddenly stopped. "Something is wrong?" Nonny asked. "Disgusting. Someone threw a cigarette here. It's bad for the environment, isn't it?" Nonny nodded and froze again for 1 second. He became less and less excited and happy in comparison with that morning. He didn't say much now. It was pretty awkward.

The 2 were now at Nonnys house. They both entered and went to Nonnys room. "I need to get something downstairs. I'll be right back." He said. "Time to look around." Oona thought. "Maybe he hides them downstairs, and he's getting one now." Oona opened the bedrooms' door silently. She saw Nonny getting something out of the fridge. "False alarm. Let's look in his chamber." Oona first took a look at Nonnys bureau and computer. She looked in all the slides, nothing. "Maybe under his bed." Not there either. "In his wardrobe?" "Nope." Oona turned her eyes towards the bedside table. It had 3 slides. Suddenly Oonas heart began beating faster. She opened one closet and found a small box. "Th... That's it." She said looking shocked.

"I'm back..." Nonny said. He looked at Oona and saw the slide. He looked down. Oona was sad too. "Nonny... Why?" She looked at him. No answer from Nonny. "You're the most intelligent person I know. You know that cr*p is bad for you and will only worsen your life. What if you get addicted? Or are you?" Oona said on the edge of tears. "We must help you. I will help you Nonny." Nonny remains silent. "Nonny answer please. It's a critical situation!" Oona said loudly. "That... kidnapping, broke something inside me." Nonny finally said. He continued. "It was a traumatic event. Shortly after everything was back to normal, I had constant stress. Later I got panic and aggression attacks. It gave me even more stress. I remembered that my aunt had that too, and she used... cigarettes. I know it's bad, but it really calms my stress down." "But... After every cigarette you consume, you need 2 more to get the same effect." Oona said. She began to sob. "I have no choice, nobody understands it, there is no solution to it..." Nonny said. "Not true! I will help you. Your friends will help you. Your parents will help you!" "And when I confessed to you, the responsibility of our relationship made it worse..." "Y... You mean that..." "I'm not saying it got worse because of you. It got worse because I care about you and don't want to lose you. The idea of losing you gives me stress." "Nonny..." "But I think... for the good of us both... and the situation... we must break up." Nonny said sobbing too. "Y... You can't say such things! I will help you. Let me try at least. We will find a solution. We always find one!" Oona said. Tears were rolling over her cheeks.

"You get stress from the idea of losing me? Then why do you want to break up? You will lose me too then. And didn't you thought about my feelings? I get stress too when I think at the idea of losing YOU. And if you don't stop smoking, then... then..." Oona couldn't finish her sentence. A little cry of sadness escaped. She got her emotions back under control. "Then you will be gone!" Oona burst into tears. Nonny didn't react. He was crying from the inside. Only a couple of tears escaped. Oona thought Nonny wasn't convinced. She exited the room to go back home. Nonny was standing in his room, thinking... "What can I do with my miserable life? I f*cked it already up..."

That's it for this chapter. Review and let me know what you thought about it. Thanks for reading until the end, I will see you next time!
