To end the weird silence. Atlas pulled her into a hug. They stayed in that position for a while.
Then there was a crack. The door cracked open and it was Lucy.
Just then Huxley tried to pull away not wanting to make things seem like she was stealing someone else's man. But Atlas never let her go.
" Hang in there for a while longer Hux".
Your girlfriend is here Atlas. She made a whisper back in his ear.
Well, she knows you are my best friend so duh...
Finally he disengaged from the hug.
Oh..... Lucy. He was first to speak.
Walked in to see you guys in a big friendship hug. That's adorable. Lucy said.
I ah..I'm.... I'll give you two some privacy. With that Huxley left the room.
Huxley couldnsee in those black pretty eyes of Lucy's, the anger she withheld. The anger Atlas would never be able to read .
Maybe Lucy was a perfect concealer of hatred.
As she saw Huxley with Atlas, more so, wearing his cloth pisses her to the bone. But she would never let her boyfriends know that his best friend was stealing her boyfriend's attention from her.
No one would ever deny Huxley's handsomeness even as tomboy and that was another wave of anger.
As if Huxley was going to remain in a gathering where she feels odd. She grabbed her bag pack and left immediately she got down stairs.
Maybe she was already overthinking so on her way back home she decided to branch at the bar.
She ordered for a couple bottles of alcohol. She was going to get all drunk and forget everything.
After all no one was at home to yell and scold her about being drunk.
She definitely doesn't live alone. She lives in her parents house but as it is the festive period. Everyone would want to travel out to chill. So she decided to stay back while her family travels.
Thankfully it was going to be a really long vacation so she would have enough time alone. With no family troubles. With no constant Fighting with her family.
Before the year ends she was hoping to enjoy more of the current year. She was enjoying the feeling of being free and just chilling with Atlas. But sure.... Atlas won't be there 24/7. He's got a girlfriend to spend time with also which means she her to be alone sometimes also.
Does it hurt? Does it even matter?
Maybe it hurts. Maybe it matters.
But for what reason? Why does Atlas having a girlfriend have to hurt. Why does it have to matter. After all there is no feeling attached....or is there a big gist everyone's missing? Is there any feeling?.....
