60 You didn’t give me a chance (1/2)

Flash back from that day 8 years ago flashed thru my eyes. I was like a ghost looking at the scene in the hotel room. I can see my younger self crying, kneeling on the floor and begging. A man is standing in front of my younger self. I can't see his face clearly.

”Please listen to me. I'm not in a relationship with Brad. I was set up.” My 19-year old self was begging at the feet of the man. ”I was set up.”

The man was silently standing in front of my younger self. I can see him clenching his fist so hard that I was afraid it would bleed.

”Sister how can you say that? After what we just saw you think we would believe you?” Julia said.

'This bitch. Even in the past she is such a snake. All words coming from her are poison.' I thought. I look at the younger Julia.

”No!” my younger self shouted. ”You're the only one I love. Please believe me. Give me a chance.”

The man slapped my younger self's hand away. She was in shock. Tears flowed from her face non-stop.

The man turned around and walked towards the door. When he got near where I was silently standing his face became clearer and clearer.

”Shawn?” I was surprised. His face a lot younger than it is now in the present. His dark blue eyes were burning with fury. His face was filled with the mixture of anger and pain.

He passed thru me. I was just a ghost here watching. I looked behind and looked at his back leaving my younger self seating on the floor crying.

My heart ached so bad. I instinctively hold my chest in pain.

***

I was back in the present. I was seating on the floor after Julia attacked me. My head was splitting in pain together with the ache I was feeling in my chest.

”Baby are you alright. Where are you hurt?” Shawn said worriedly. He was holding me in his arms.

I look at him with fearful eyes. ”You didn't believe me.” I whispered.

”What did you say?” Shawn didn't hear me.

”You didn't give me a chance. You didn't hear me out!” I shouted.

Shawn looked at me with surprise.
