"Robin?" - I said with a startled expression. My bully is waiting for me in front of my house. I didn't want to shout out that loud, but swollen red eyes made me do it. It's almost as if he cried... what on earth happened to him. And also...how the hell did he know where I live.
He was about to turn around when his eyes met mine, and I was shocked to see his eyes suddenly glistening with tears...
"H-Hannah...HANNAH! Oh! Gosh! You... Are you alright, Hannah!" - Robin cried out loud as he ran towards me. Wait, am I seeing right. Robin? Out of anyone, why's Robin crying like this? Almost like he was worried about me. No way... was he worried about me? This is so confusing!
"Which part of me is not looking alright to you?" - I snapped back at him, you know because of him I had to run for more than an hour (Not that long but still...) and fell asleep inside a broken house (It's not his fault though...)
"T-Thank god, you're okay! I was really worried about you!" - He said as he wiped his eyes with a napkin. I am still confused why he is worried. It's not like it's the first time I've stayed out all night. Even my parents don't care than why he!
"Exactly what are you worried about? Can you please tell me?? Your behaviour is truly scaring the shit out of me!" - I asked, rather calmly.
"Hannah... You were missing for three weeks!! How do you expect me to not worry about you? It all happened just because of me... I chased you, and you went into that cursed place. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me..."
"W-wait…what??" - I was stunned by the way Robin was acting, but this had me big time. Judging by his red eye and tired face, he's probably not joking around. No way, it has been three weeks... I don't remember anything about it.
'Was I drugged or something? But I clearly remember everything like yesterday. In fact, it was yesterday! I woke up exactly where I slept, and my bag was exactly where I placed it last night. What the heck is going on with my life, first that dream and now this... I'll lose my mind if things go on like this.
"I'm really sorry. It's all becau-"
"I went there on my own because I knew you guys were a bunch of cowards who would never dare to step your foot inside that forest. Technically, it's not your fault, but I won't forgive you easily for the suffering you've caused me!" - I said it, Finally I stood up to this jerk. That doesn't matter... I have to find out why I was missing for such a long time. How would I be out for such a long time without even knowing myself? There's something fishy...
"I know it's hard for you to accept my apologies... I know how trashy I was to you. I hope someday you'll forgive me, and I will never ever treat anyone like I did before. I-I'm just very glad that you're finally back." - He said as he looked at me with genuine eyes. For the first time in my life, I saw him looking this sincere. Something has changed since I was gone.
"I know I don't deserve to know but... Where have you been for these three weeks? Your parents, teachers and even some of your classmates were worried about you!" - He said as he stared at my shoes... Bro this is super awkward for him to keep his head low, it was always me who did that wherever we crossed paths.
"I don't want to talk about it... not now!" - I said because I have to keep myself calm and take everything in first. I have no answer to his question anyway...
'But I have to know everything, I have to know everything from him."
"Y-Yeah right! I was just asking... you don't need to answer if you don't as long as you're looking fin-"
"You do know it's strange?"
"What's strange?"
"The way you're talking to me. It feels as if you care, but I know you're not someone to care about me. Are you afraid I am going to tell the cops about you guys chasing me there or something??"
I don't know what happened, suddenly Robin looked pissed off. His eyes turned dark as he looked at me. I had to step away a bit, he's gaze is rather scary. Finally, he decided to show his real face. See, I told you he's walking bad news-
"No! I was worried because I am the reason behind this! I saw the people who cared and loved you crying their eyes out, I have seen them losing their mind because of you being missing... I felt guilt, regret, sorry all at the same time. I know… I know I am a jerk, but I never thought something this huge could happen because of me. I-I thought maybe something worse happened to you, s-something terrible." - He said, wiping out his tears. I never saw him crying like this before, although I never truly look at his face before. I don't know how to react to his behaviour... I guess I have to know everything first and act accordingly.
