Part 19- Suspicious

I went back to my room after as my eyes landed on a letter that was on my desk.

I made my way towards my desk and grabbed the letter. It was from him.

I checked out my room around and found many more things that were all from him. I have many others.

I feel dumb for reading all the letters from the past again because now I was getting emotional.

It's hard to believe that he was the one who wrote these. Before leaving, I had no time to clean up my room and also no energy or intentions to throw all of the things he gave me away.

I got out of my room once again and went to get a garbage bag. I decided to clean all my room and throw out all the things from him.

I was almost done cleaning and throwing out everything when my eyes landed on...the ring.

The ring he specially made for me. I found myself staring at it for way too long. Back then, I would make sure I have it on all the time.

I was afraid to loose it and make him upset. How dumb I was.

I was about to throw it as well but somehow I wasn't able to. I really just couldn't let go of it.

It's just a ring. It won't hurt if I keep it.

I checked out the ring again noting every detail carefully which made me realize it was probably made of gold.

I could...sell it online or give it to to a jewelry shop in return of some money. That sounds more wise than to throw it out.

Yes okay, I'll do that.

Hold on, where should I put it for now in order to not forget about it later on?

I was already wearing a necklace on that was just a simple golden chain, therefore I took off my necklace and slide the ring through it.

That's good. This way, I'll remember what to do with it after.

A week later, I could finally meet up with my dear best friend.

I was waiting for her in a small café while sipping my ice coffee.

Something felt off. I felt like I was being stared at or something. Maybe it's just me. I didn't give it a second thought though.

When is she coming? She's already ten minutes late.

"Miss, sorry to bother you but someone asked me to give you this cake" she said placing a piece of strawberry cake in front of me.

"Who did that?" I asked her.

"I don't know the person just left after paying for your cake" she said.

"Um...okay thank you" I thanked her.

Who could possibly..? Don't tell me it's..him?

Anyways, since I don't know who it is exactly and I'm kind of hungry I'll just eat it.

While I was in the middle of eating my cake, Ayla appeared behind me scaring the shit out of me.

"I'M HERE GIRL!" she yelled.

"Public space!" I half whispered half yelled back at her getting up.

Instead of saying more she just wrapped her arms around me in a sudden way tightly.

"I..I can't breathe!" I said.

"Oups! Sorry!" she said moving back.

"You're late" I stated.
