Tommy Everest Hayashi McFarland.
The man I have loved.
It was 15 years ago but it felt like it was just yesterday.
He... was my everything.
[15 years ago]
"Happy Birthday, Ashley!"
"Happy Birthday, my dear!"
"Happy Birthday, Shaly!"
they greeted me with full of joy.
"Thank You everyone."
It was a wonderful and special day.
"Happy Birthday, Agsh"
A familiar voice.
I turned and saw him holding a color Red, Blue and Purple balloons.
I was shocked seeing the man I love.
"Tom!"
It was a dream come true.
I can't even believe my own eyes.
But that happiness only lasts for 5 hours...
We were talking and having fun.
We played games, talked about our days and so much more.
I thought that was a fairytale when all of a sudden Tom's phone rang.
He ignored it but his phone didn't stop ranging from time to time.
"Tom, maybe it's important." I started.
"It's my mom." He responded.
I was curious why his mother couldn't stop calling him.
I was really curious but I can't question him because I know that his mother is his greatest fear.
3 hours passed and his phone didn't stop ranging.
It was very annoying but I couldn't tell him to just pick it up, so I just kept it to myself.
I looked at him seeing a fake smile all over his face.
I know that something was off... so I excused myself to the bathroom and took his phone.
There, I found something I couldn't unseen.
I... my lips were sealed and couldn't say anything.
maybe... maybe it's... it's just a friend! i guess?
My tears dropped... it's so weird... I can feel my tears but it's cold, to the point that if I cry more I will freeze in death.
I was wiping my tears when the door opened and someone entered.
I was shocked to see my boy bestfriend...
I didn't know he was coming to my party.
"Shaley your eyes are swollen, what happened?"
He questioned me while stepping forward.
"I-I'm okay, theo."
I was sniffling while answering.
"It's okay to tell me Shaley. There's no need to fear"
I was longing for a hug at that very moment so I hugged him tightly as I slowly put Tom's phone in my pocket.
I told him to make an excuse for us to leave and he did make an excuse.
As we were walking back to the party I put Tom's phone back to the table where it was.
We excused ourselves and told them that I am not feeling well.
And while Theo's explaining to them, I notice that Tom was filled with jealousy.
"I guess I don't need to stay here any longer." Tom said.
"Well, I guess you are right Tom. I can take care of Shaley by myself." Theo replied.
You can say Tom was jealous just by looking at him.
I don't want to think of anymore.
It was just too hurtful.
