Sydneys POV
I closed the door behind me and leaned against it for a moment.
What the hell had just happened?
My mind was racing and somehow I felt like crying.
We just had been cuddling and everything had been just perfect, more than perfect.
And now? I closed my eyes to keep the tears away. No way was I going to cry now.
But I was just so angry at him. Angry because he just had ruined this beautiful day with all this nonsense.
I walked down the stairs and crossed the street. Standing in front of Starbucks I stopped.
Maybe I should just go home. Why should I go back? Why should I go on listening to all that insanity?
I turned around looking at the hostel and once again I felt the tears coming.
I opened the door and got inside. Coffee, I needed coffee first.
I was walking through Central Park, trying to calm down when my phone rang.
I looked at it and felt relieved when I saw Katies number.
"Hey" I answered the phone.
"Sydney!Where are you? I missed you in class today. Everything ok?"
I sighed. No, nothing was ok.
"Yes, I know. I... I was with Adrian" I said flinching at saying his name.
"Oh I see" Katie said with a giggle "I can see why that could be a distraction".
I sat down on a bench and to my surprise I heard myself sob.
What was wrong with me? It wasn´t like me to get overwhelmed by my emotions.
"Are you ok? What´s wrong?" Katie asked and I heard the worry in her voice.
I took a deep breath. I didn´t want to tell her.
"Yes, I´m ok. I just had an argument with Adrian that´s all" I lied.
My voice was still a little shaky.
"What did he do?" Katie asked.
"Katie I´m sorry, but I really don´t want to talk about that at the moment, ok?" I said.
"Ok" she said "Want me to come?" she asked.
I was thinking about it. Somehow I did want her to come but somehow I just wanted to be alone as well. Besides, I would have to tell her if she was coming.
"Thanks, but I just need some time to think" I than said.
"Ok... you guys will work this out. You seemed to really like each other" she said.
A small laugh escaped me, when I thought about our night out.
It now seemed very far away.
But she was right. After all that just had happened I still liked him. And he just had told me that he loved me. I shook my head. God, it all was so confusing.
"We´ll see. I´ll see you tomorrow, ok?" I said.
"Sure. You can call me anytime if you need someone to talk to, ok?" she said.
I smiled at that "Thanks. I appreciate that a lot" I said.
"No problem I´m serious. Just call. See you tomorrow Sydney".
"Thanks Katie" I said and I hung up.
I put the phone back in my pocket and took another sip of my skinny latte.
Skinny latte... when he bought me coffee he´d said it was just a lucky guess, maybe it hadn´t been.
No... I bet most women do like skinny latte. It really wasn´t proof of anything.
I sighed, realizing that a part of me really did take everything he´d just said in consideration of being true.
Why? Just why?
It was insane. I certainly would know if a part of my life was missing. And I would certainly remember him. How could anybody forget him and those eyes?
But than again, since the first time I´d seen him, they felt so familiar.
I got up glancing in the direction I just came from. I had to choose now.
Going home and probably never see him again or going back
Adrians POV
I was pacing through my room. I had watched her leaving Starbucks over 40 minutes ago.
What if it really had been the last time I´d seen her?
I didn´t allow myself to go there.
It was only understandable, that she needed time to think. But than again, she hadn´t heard everything. There was so much more to tell. I just didn´t have enough time.
A knock on the door stopped my thoughts and with a mixture of fear and relief I opened it.
