Chapter 2 - 15 years ago.

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.
