This story is for the guy that once loved me.
Thank you for always being there for me. I wish you all the best in life.
You will always be my one and only soulmate.
Rhiyane POV.
Hello everyone. I'm Rhiyane Quilz Voyrage.
You can call me Rhine or yan- yan ...
I have a story. Let's start with the day that I still treasure even today. Back then, I was a senior high student...
~FLASHBACK~
~Bell ringing ~
Rhiyane POV.
Arrrrhhhghhh!!! Stop already! stupid alarm clock!
Why is the clock so irritating? Why do I even use it ??
Oh yeah, I almost forgot cause it's because I'm in love with my freaking bed, I thought while convincing my body to roll over and stand up...
after 10 minutes or so, I manage to convince my body to roll over.
I went up drowsily from my bed ... I'm very close to graduation now, so I can't let my freaking grades ruin my f*ck'in future. Once I finish high school, I'll head straight to college and find a freaking job to who knows where...
~ Timeskip~
After doing my morning rituals, I got ready to leave the house. I head straight towards my car, a Chevrolet Aveo, my father's birthday gift to me last month. I looked at the mirror inside my car and saw my dark brown hair tied up in a messy bun, pale skin, pinkish-red lips, and hazel brown eyes.
I drove the car and stopped at the parking area of the school. I stepped out of the car and walked toward the hallway to my classroom. I saw my boyfriend walking to the hallway with my BESTFRIEND, holding each other's hand while laughing. They looked so sweet to each other and sometimes too sweet that some people that see them together think of them as a couple. I honestly don't mind much since I trust both of them. Still, in the past couple of months, they've been hanging out more often than friends should, and I'm not stupid to not suspect anything going on with the two of them, but I still trusted my best friend.
I hid behind a pillar not too far away from them and the classroom. They stopped at the front of our classroom, and I saw the two of them... they-they... I felt the sides of my eyes burn, and a tear fell from my eyes to my cheeks, and I ran as fast as my legs could take. I cried and cried, not caring where my feet were taking me... I just realized that I'm now at the back of our school where many trees can be seen. I sat behind a tree and let my tears flow freely. I hiccup because of too much crying. I remembered what I saw again. The reason why I'm crying now It's because they kissed. I know some things are going on, and our relationship has some bumps along the way, and it will not be too long till we break up.
WHY DID THEY KISS EACH OTHER ?! WHY DID JHANZ KISS LILY ?!WHY? WHY? WHY DID THEY BETRAY ME ?!
So many questions are running through my mind. Why did my boyfriend Jhanz and my "best friend" Lily kiss each other, and how long have they been doing this behind my back? Is this why Jhanz wants to talk about our relationship this afternoon so we can break up?!!
I heard footsteps, someone walking towards me, but I was too lazy and tired to look up and see who it was...
Hey ! can you stop crying now?
My eyes widened, and I looked at the man that stood firmly on the ground. Its Matt
Mathex Jolve Vhaltazar is my best best friend who has always had my back since we were little, that is before he moved out of the country and came back this year...
He looked at me with pity.
Oh, those green, bright eyes, his brown hair, heart-shaped lips, his frowning face. I could already tell he was irritated, maybe because this was where we would always go when cutting classes. Those were fun memories.
Uhhhmmm, sorry, Matt, did I disturb you?
Sorry again, I stood up quickly. I guess I tried to stand up too quickly that I stumbled. I closed my eyes because I couldn't regain balance, but before I could hit the ground, matt pulled me up because of the pressure.
I hit my head on his chest, and he sighed... A pretty deep sight, I might add,
Are you okay now ? he asked.
" Yeah, I'm fine, " I said and faked a smile. I started walking away, but Matt held my wrist and said don't say you're fine when obviously your not, Rhine he said
Matt I-i
he cut my sentence off by placing his index finger on my lips
Don't say anything. I know that you, princess Rhiyane Quilz Voyrage is really tired he said while he smiled slightly
wanna go to the canteen? My treat. Matt said
I don't think that's a good idea. I promised Jhanz that we would talk this afternoon. I said
Do you seriously still want to see them after what they did? Matt asked while grinning.
My eyes widened in surprise because he knew something about my life. After all, he didn't want to talk to me before he left the country. He blocked me off social media and in his life too.
I sighed and looked up at him.
YES! You don't need to worry because I won't cry anymore. For your information, I don't need your pity or anybody's pity, I said, answering his question...
Hahaha, he laughed suddenly.
I looked at him, confusion written all over my face.
That's more like the Rhine I know before...
You don't need a b*tch and an assh*le with you. They don't deserve your tears at all.
I nodded .. they're at the school gymnasium now. Wanna go? Matt asked with a smile
You bet I answered and smiled genuinely this time
if only he didn't leave, maybe --- I sighted. No need to worry about our f**k** up decision anymore. We were young, and up until now, we still are...
~time skip~
I entered the gym with Matt and walked toward Jhanz and Lily. They were both kissing each other. I faked a cough and got their attention. Before they could talk, I gave Jhanz a super uppercut and slapped lily twice on both cheeks.
I smirked: WE ARE OVER, JHANZ BE WITH YOUR B*TCH!!! I yelled, and everyone started whispering and murmuring, spreading news across the school...
~TIMESKIP~
I saw another letter outside. It happens frequently. It started when Matthew left. I always leave them in the jar for decoration.
I saw Matt and walked towards him.
HEY MATT! I wanna talk with you I said with a smile
He waved at me and said we could talk while sitting on one of the benches at the park near our school; so this is awkward, I said
You know what? I like you before the kind of liking that I want you more than a friend. He said.
I smiled; we'll be both young, and it's probably attraction and hormones. We were both high school students before, after all. I said
But when you left, why did you block me out, you didn't even say goodbye to me, and I couldn't reach your phone. I said while looking up at the sky with its white clouds and blue sky.
It was an emergency. Our family business in the states was bankrupt, my dad had an accident, and my mom had an emotional breakdown. Everything happened so fast, and I needed to go to the States to support my family and try to save the family business. I blocked you because I didn't want you to know those things, and I wanted the feelings I bottled up to disappear because I didn't want to risk our friendship and lose our connection. I also needed to focus on taking care of my family. He answered.
I wish we had talked about these things earlier. I said
Yeah, I'm going to return to the U.S. again, y'know, family and life crisis.
Life doesn't go easy on anyone. he said
I lowered my head, and after a few moments of silence, I heard my phone ringing and saw it was a message.
Sorry, Matt, I have to go to my apartment now something has happened. I said and hurriedly ran and parked a Taxi.
~ The next day~
Matt and I started talking to each other more often now, and our past has been discussed, and we learned from our mistakes. We also talked about how we have been after being apart for so long that it's really refreshing to be close to him again. He's been one of the most important people in my life.
~AFTER A MONTH OR SOO~
Matt! I yelled as I saw him resting on a tree. Matt!! Is it true you leaving again tomorrow?? is it really final? Yeah, I forgot to tell you, sorry Rhine, I can't stay. My father's condition is worsening, and I'm afraid my mom will get sick too. I need to take over the company.
When will you be back? No idea, Rhine.
I felt like crying but didn't like what I had done before.
Instead, I smiled this time and looked straight at him. Good luck then, I started walking away, and he didn't stop me.
Timeskip, this is it. He'll be gone Again.
I ran outside, stopped a taxi, told the driver where the airline was, and gave my pay ...
I stepped out and ran towards the entrance, and I saw Matthex.
Matt wait !!! I yelled, and he stopped
I -matt, I stopped because he talked
I thought you would not see me off anymore because you said good luck already?
Yeah, but I didn't say goodbye yet, matt. I-- before I could say anything, he kissed the top of my head and whispered.
I love you, Rhiyane Quilz Voyralge. The feelings I wanted to forget while in the U.S. didn't disappear.
I felt a tear leave my eyes.
I love you too, Matthew Jolve Vhaltazar, but I only love you as a friend and brother. I said while sobbing softly.
Then we looked at each other...
I smiled and said: Goodbye, matt I wish we could see each other again in the future, but for now, be strong, move on, and always remember that there is someone out there that deserves your affection and a girl that will accept it wholeheartedly because from now on I'll be part of your past, and You'll be part of my mine...
Goodbye, my soulmate. I wish you all the best in life.
