Chapter 153 - Ellen (2) (2/2)
”I know you're having a hard time, but-”
”Leave me alone Rika! That's all I ask of you,” Ellen screamed with blood dripping from her hands.
”You have Sienna and Delia with you now, so leave me alone,” Ellen's voice cracked.
Ellen pushed me to the side to escape the classroom. My legs wobbled, loss of energy to stand as I staggered onto the floor. There was no way either Sienna or Delia could replace Ellen. Was our friendship this fragile? How much of the relationship was real? I looked at my hands, scr.a.p.ed with handling my fall on the cold marble tiles.
She called me, 'Luke's possession.' But, why? I belonged to myself. I hugged myself, tightly, to fill the empty void in my heart. I could feel my warm heartbeat, pulsing with every thump, telling me it was real. And I remained in my spot until the sky transitioned into dark azure blues of the evening.
When I was tired from being alone, I pushed myself up as I used one of the desks for support. My clothes were wrinkled and stained from my tears dripping down my cheek. My hair was tangled and went in all directions like it couldn't stay in one place.
My appearance reflected in the glass window was Rika. The girl who was determined Ellen needed help and didn't know how to express it. Crying helped bring me back to my senses. If Ellen really did want to hurt me, enough to break off our friendship in its entirety, all she had to do was to spread rumors about the truth.
But her heavy back chose to withhold the burden of everything alone. She didn't want to burden me with her problems even though she helped me with mine. If she didn't care about our friendship, there was no way she would've gotten this emotional.
Ellen was just tired. Tired to the point she couldn't clearly see the people around her who were willing to support her. Even though I felt losing land was no big deal, I was going to do the best I could to restore her bright caring smile whenever she noticed Shelly and I.
Afterall, our friendship couldn't be broken this easily.
