"what you'll attend?!" mark asked in shock.
approved*
jared spoke proudly "now that's my bro for you"
shrug*
mark shrug as he spoke "you've been heartbroken for so long it's pretty much time to let go"
sigh*
I spoke while lightly massaging my temple "think what you like but you two are coming with me so go home, get dress and meet me at the venue"
as I pass something to jared and mark I spoke "here's some invitation cards for some reason I had some extras
I showed what time it is with my phone and said "2 hours left don't be late"
mark replied with joy while holding on the invitation card "thank you so much bro!"
jared spoke with reluctance "ah do I have to go too? "
aaaaghhh.
after our conversation we went our separate ways to prepare for the party I was in no hurry so I walked back to my apartment.
as I was on my way back to my apartment I saw a jewelry store. I hesitated to go inside to prepare a present for claire.
I was reluctant because it might get misunderstood as an affectionate motive that might just give her false hope and hurt her even more but I bought one anyways.
I became worried with the time I have because buying the gift took a lot of my time so I decided to take a shortcut pass an dark alley.
while I hurried passing the dark alley I just notice something creepy it was way to dark and feels so long to pass-through not just that it was so quiet.
I walked with caution when suddenly an homeless old woman appeared behind me if I can explain her entire existence then it'll only be creepy whats creepier is she's actually following.
(damn what's with this grandma) I thought anxiously.
(and she's been intensely staring at me down right creepy).
I tried to stole a glance at her and thought (why can't I hear her footsteps?)
I continued to walk within the dark alley when without me noticing the old woman already disappeared as she was already gone when I turned around.
sigh*
I sighed in relief but as I was to continue on my way she's already in front of me I took a few step back as I sweat anxiously of what might happen next.
gulp*
(shit I wanted to die but I swear I wanted it to be painless)
the old woman spoke "it seemed like you lost your memory well I think it's for the best"
turned around*
after whispering to herself the old woman left quietly, leaving me puzzled of what just happened but coincidentally, as the old woman left the dark alley everything seemed to have returned to normal and I was finally able to leave that dark alley.
I sighed in relief after finally leaving .
(I swear I'll never go in any dark alley ever again.) I thought while rubbing the back of my head.
I continued walking until I arrived at my apartment. I opened the door as I enter and lied straight on my bed as if I was so exhausted and pondered.
(who was that creepy grandma earlier?)
"does she know something about me?" I spoke to myself.
after staring at the ceiling in daze I shake my head in denial and spoke "no way she might have mistaken me with someone"
after pulling myself together I hurriedly washed my self and changed my attire to formal ones just a simple white long sleeve and black slock after I'm done I fixed my hair and went to look at a mirror.
"handsome as ever I see" I muttered as I look at myself smile slightly in the mirror.
I sprayed perfume all over then finally I remembered the gift I bought and went to prepare it.
I finished everything I had to do so I went down my apartment and called a cab after it arrived I quickly went inside and sitted comfortably .
the cab driver peek at the mirror and asked "our destination sir? "
I replied "ah go to sky hotel in rose street I'll pay double if we arrive before thirty minutes"
the cab driver replied "then rose Street it is"
I leaned on my side and spaced out while looking through the mirror pondering about my longing to be a manga character.
(If only I was born in a chaotic world and become some worshiped hero.)
(or maybe an evil god that'll be better since I really love the feeling of letting violence do the talking)
sigh*
I close my eyes as I laid on my back and continued to drown myself with my thoughts.
(there's so many regrets and embarrassment if only I could start over) as I was pondering, my eyes widened when suddenly I was reminded with the memories of my ex and me breaking up.
(if I knew it's gonna be like this I wish I didn't get born at all) as I talk in my thoughts I couldn't help but show an annoyed face.
I clenched my fist as I got agitated thinking of thoughts of those shitty times when without notice we finally arrived.
the cab driver spoke "ah we're here sir"
I replied "here keep the change"
the cab driver checked how much I gave and replied "ah thanks sir"
I walked out the cab just outside the sky hotel. the venue was well decorated but it seems I arrived a few minutes earlier so I went to walk around when I saw someone tailing me in the hotel lobby.
