Chapter 7

I walked back to the café, most of the Mall rats were still there, I walked up to Salene and said calmly "I need a new room" as I said it the Mall rats fell silent.

"Yeah, sure" she said uncertainly "End of the second hall. Umm, Ebony are you ok?"

"I Am Fine" I said pronouncing each syllable "Why shouldn't I be?" I asked and then walked out of the room, I heard the silence continue as walked off but I didn't care anymore.

I went and collected my things from Jays room, I didn't let myself look around I just picked up my things and left. Finally I got to my new room, it was like all the other rooms in the Mall, a bed and no windows, just another room. I dumped my things in the corner and locked the door. Sitting on my bed I finally let myself cry. Sobbing madly, rocking backwards and forwards, embracing my pain. For half an hour it flooded out of me, Jay was gone, and it hurt so much.

Finally I stopped myself crying and promised myself that would be the last time I cried for Jay, it was over and as usual Amber had won.

Later that afternoon someone knocked tenitively on my door.

"Who is it?" I called

"Siva" came back the answer, carefully I opened the door so I could see out, Siva was stood there looking worried

"Are you ok?" she asked

"I'm fine" I said, "Why does everyone keeping asking that?" I said tiredly "look I'm busy can you come back some other time?" As I began to close the door she stopped it with her foot

"Do you know he's getting drunk in the café?" she said

"Who?" I asked innocently but I knew exactly who she meant

"Jay" she said "He's already had seven whisky shots" I smiled coldly

"Well he probably needs it to be with that wh0re" I said

"Who?" she asked puzzled

"You mean he hasn't told you?" I asked, she shook her head "Well, he probably needs the extra courage to even tell you" I said coldly and shut the door.

I turned and slumped against the door trying to ignore what she had just told me, tried to quash the vain hope inside me, I had poured my pain out of myself and now that room echoed with it, using the echoes of my pain I quashed the hope, it was over. Everyone had to face that.
